Mr.. Hewitt, of New York. SAYS:
The action of the Republicans

That the Worlds Exposition at
New Orleans, to be opened in De
cember next, is to he the grandCst
of its kind ever held, now seems to
be assured. The managers are
sparing neither time nor money to
make it the event of the century,
and newspaper men are being earn

work. Hon. John Eaton, Commits
sioner of Education, who has accept
ell The appointment rendered him rs
chief of the educational department
OF the Exposition, has written to
Director-General Burke suggesting
that there should be under the head
of printing and Books" a repre-
sentation of the newspaper and
magazine publications of the coun-
try; that there be in the education
al department locality so arranged
with pigeon holes as to provide a
/ place for every one Of the 5000
newspapers published in the United
States, and that after the details
have been agreed upon, the an
nouncement should be made to every
newspaper and magazine that they
are desired to send at least one
number Of its issue to the eXposi
ton containing such statement OF
the statistics Of its locality, educa
tional. scientific, industrial and
commercial, as its editors would
like to have preserved, and that af.
ter the Exposition these papers
should be donated to some pcrma

leans Then, there could he in
small space tables for limited

ment as to-day over the nomination

excitement Of 1880 is exceeded, the
streets being filled with people,
while angry partjzanship runs high

nounccd that the tattnOcd man from
! Maine was nominated, every bic and
lttle department clerk shouted tol

cratic party to s. to Chicago and
nominate II good ticket and victory

a vigorous canvass, but with Flow
or, of New York, and Mcdonald, OF
