Richmond and the Exposition.

We publish elsewhere this morning the
address Of the Board OF Control OF the
States interest in the WORLDS Exposition
nj New orleans. Among other things, the
address sets forth that ''the merchants and
manufacturers OF Richmond are deyising
plans 10 make a 6ne display" for this city
We earnestly hope that these plans will be
carried out on a scale commensurate with
the opportunity the Exposition will pre-
sent for bringing Richmond TO the attention
Of the country as a manufacturing and
commercial centre. IL the occasion is en-
braced as it should be Richmond cannot
fail to reap the greatest benefit from 1t.
The Dispatch has always contended that
all tina. Richmond needed in order to make
her the principal trading centre for large
portion OF the southern territory east OF the
Mississippi river was TO bring her advan-
tsges prominently before the people OF such
territory. Any one who will take map,
follow the lines Of railroad that concentre
nj Richmond, and note her water
connections, Will. we think, see the reason
ableness Of this claim. ANY one who will
take the trouble to inform himself upon
the increase of RicbmOnd's trade during
the last decade will admit that the claim
has been in a large degree already justi-
fed. Richmond merchants and manufac-
turers have never gone into new south
ern field that they have not been able to
hold. As stated IN a previous article on
the Exposition, we cannot expect any
great amount OF direct trade with
New Orleans as result OF our display
there; but we can expect that during the
progress Of the Exposition the city will be
crowded with people from along the lines
Of the railroads whose termini are at Rich
mond. Richmond's interest in the Expo
.ition lies in the fact that through it she
will be able TO impress her advantages upon
people she has not succeeded in reaching
through any other medium. As to the in
terest Of the State at large, that is covered
in general terms in the address Of the
Board OF Control.
