GeneraI Grant ON the worlds Fair.

New York, March 15.-At the next meet
ing of the executive committee ofthe worlds
fair commission, which will be held Wednes-
day next, it will probably be decided wheth-
er the fair will take place as has been pro-
posed, or will be abandoned. General
Grant said to-day to World reporter, who
had made inquiries of him: subscriptions
have failed to come in as it was anticipated
they would, and time is getting too short to
admit of further delay or uncertainties. If
the fair is 10 be held, buildings should be
ready for exhibits, especially those from dis
tant countries, within two years. There is little
time enough left for tho accomplishment Of
the work now, and it would be useless TO
attempt il unless we can begin very soon.
have devoted much more time to the mat
ter than | expected or promised to when l
accepted the presidency Ct the commssion,
partly because my departure from the
country has been delayed month longer
than I expected, and partly because I wanted
to do what could to prevent failure Of
the scheme. Everybody seems to hold back
the railroad, express and steamboat COM
panies; the local transportation companies,
hotels and boardnghoases. At least most
ofthein fail 10 appreciate the benefits they
would receive. Ishould propose postpone
nent until 1881. That is soon enough any
way; but my impression is that the scheme
should ba given up jfthe finance committee
cannot report $l000000 in hand by Wednes-
day"
s'In case the charter should be taken by
Chicago, as has been suggested, would you
retain your present connection with the
commisson?"
''No; my Interests are all in New York, or
in interests which center here"
The Times says: 'William A. Cole, a
vice president ofthe worlds far commission,
stated that unless the transportation c0mpa-
MES contribute about 81 500 900 we can't
90 on. That is the plain truth of the mat
ter"
From another source: at has been
learned that two of the transportation COM
panies will be asked'to contribute S750,OO0
Unless the demand is scceeded to, then the.
commissioners will wind up their accounts
and abandon the purpose Of their organiza-
tion. The two companies referred to are
understood to be the New York Central
and the New York, Lake Erie and Western
railroads"

Senator Ingalls, Views.

W1LI1AMsrowN, Mass, July s.
Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, who de-
livered the Adelphi address at Will
Hams College last night, in abiding
to the attempted assassination of the
President, said:
Whether the work of an irrespon
sible maniac, or of an Office seeking,
revengeful man, or of a poti zeal
fanatic, it is q terrible stigma and
disgrace on free government and
popular institutions. While I fully
exonerate and acquit all parties,
factions and leaders ofany knowledge
of, or participation in this crime, by
the commission of which some OF
them would profit, so may I declal G
it my judgment that this atrocious
act is directly due to the intolerant
cap-ices of political STRIFE"
Senator Ingalls, thought the theory
of civ service reform was un-Ameri
can and not in accord with the theory
of the government. Tue sures
path to national wealth was through
the highest mental, moral and phi, ST
cal culture. To accomplish this
educa ion should be compulsory ant
regulated by Congress in every State

Except Mr. Conkling) kin.
The Globe Democrat has been
one of Mr.. Conkling's ablest and
staunchest supporters. Our own
opinion of what he said in that in
terview is that it shows less in his
character to inspire love and admira
ton for him as an individual thar
even his worst enemies have evel
charged He deliberately put him
self down as a cold, austere, AFRO

morose temper is not softened evel

SOME of our Democratic exchanges
have become extremely virtuous and
are loud in their denunciation of
"stalwart politicians, which, as the
term has been used for some time
past, means the followers of Mr.
Conkling. But we insist that they
are nos in position to deliver | c.
lures upon this subject. 1t is a fact
that number of Democratic Senators
sympathized with Conkliug in his
fight against the Administration
and whenever he could have devel-
oped decent following, numerical
ly speaking, on the Republican side,
they stood ready to vote with the
New York Senator for the rejection
of the Presidents nominees to office
It was his failure to hold sufficient
following on the Republican side
that check>mated him. He could
have secured Democratic aid.
