the COMING EXPOSITION.

The project of establishing permanent
International Exposition at Washington,
than which no proposition of the kind
could be more practical, or practicable, or
suggestive of greater material results, finds
immediate favor with Commissioner Col
man of the Department of Agriculture.
Mr.. Colman would not only have a Ma
tional Experimental Farm at the Seat of
Government, but in connection with it,
Worlds Exposition, "where the products
of this country and of all nations might
be shown side by side" and where Agri-
culture which is ''the nursing mother of
all our industries would be attended by
her "handmads of Manufactures and
Commerce"
The question of the establishment of
National Farm is one upon which there
will doubtless be honest differences of
opinion, but if the Department of Agricul-
ture is ever to become what it is capable
of being made under effective and honest
management, such an institution would
certainly prove valuable adjunct TO its
usefulness.
As to the Exposition, however, there
can scarcely be two views. The Critic
has advocated the scheme as one worthy
of immediate and energetic attention. 1t
is not a matter of merely local, but Of uni
versal interest, and we trust that the idea
thus happily adopted by Commissioner
Colman will be taken up by the press and
public and diligently passed round the
country.
The plant of the proposed Exposition
once laid, its future success would be
assured. 1t would only be the first step
which cost, yet even this expense, with
such aid as might be expected Of the
several States and Territories, co-operat-
ing with the General Government, would
be little more than nominal. The Expo
sition once set in motion, would become
the grand central repository OF the natural
growths Of the country from year to year,
in all the industries. Not only this, it
would sooner or later become the repre-
sentative of the progressive civilization of
Europe and the Old World, and gradually
assume an International importance
which has never attached to any eXhi-
bition of the same character.

Mr.. Nlerrick ns "a Debater.

"Virginiann writes TO the Baltimore .SWR
the following account of political debate
in which Mr.. Mcrrick took part: Though
n boy of but 10 years of age, was an inter-
estcd listener to y great political debate
which took place in the old courthouse
in Charlestown, Jefferson County, Va, in
the fall of 1852, when the Hons. Charles
James Faulkner, Henry Bedinger and j.
Randolph Tucker represented the Demo
cratic side, and Richard I. Merick and j.
NJ. s. Causin of Maryland and Alexander
II. Boteler Of Jefferson the Wing side. The
Maryland orators were in Charlestown for
the purpose of acting as groomsmen for
who married a daughter of the Hon. An
drew Hunter. Mr.. Faulkner, who had
lust gone from the Whigto the Democratic
party, opened the debate, and, as was his
custom. made an adroit and logical speech
of two hours.
Mr.. Merrick, who was then a young
and exceedingly handsome man, had been
selected to reply to Mr. Faulkner, aud had
been carefully posted as TO that gentle
mans political record. His speech was
one of the most brilliant and eloquent
ever heard there, and aroused the widest
enthusiasm. His speech against Mr.
Faulkner, whilst couched in the most re-
spectiul language, was exceedingly severe,
and greatly enthused the Wings. At the
conclusion of his speech Mr., Alerrick was
overwhelmed with congratulations and
flowers were showered on him by the
ladies in the gallery Mr. Bedinger
followed in a speech of an hour, aud
though one of the best stumpers in Vir-
ginia, failed to overcome the splendid inn
preston created by Mr.. Merrick Mr..
Causin replied in speech Of an hour.
Messrs. Tucker and Boteler closed with
half-hour speeches. To this day those
| who heard the debate speak of it as the
great discussion, and men of all parties
now concede that finer speech than Mr.

REV. DIR. LEONARD, who has been nomi-

Of Ohio, very sensibly resolves that he
will not neglect his pastoral work to take

They are mostly Republicans, and say
that unless he declines the nomination
there will be an upheaval. This is one of
the peculiarities of the Prohibition ques-
ton. His Republican congregation has
no objection to his being Prohibitionst,

incidentally may do harm, much good will
ultimately come, Mr.. Spurgeon Is right
There is a certain common sense about

Even if the shocking charges Of the
London paper are only true in part and
do an injustice in apparently involving Il

revelations will have q wholesome effect.

ValdOsta the Scene of an Event Which
FOiIed Parental Objection.
VALDOsTA, GA, Jan. 11.-Quite a SEN
sation is created here by the announce
ment that a runaway couple from Quit
man will be married in this place tonight.
The license is already procured, but steps
have been taken to stop the marriage.
What is to be the result cannot be sur
missed at this time. The high contracting
parties are BartoIa Baum, son of pros
porous and wealthy merchant, and Miss
Baldrick, all of Quitman.
About dusk this afternoon two carri-
ages halted in front OfJudge COachman's,
on Paterson avenue. Several gentlem en-
hurriedly alighted, and in the dimness of
the twilight a close observer might have
seen that a lady formed one of the CON-
pany. This proved to be the clipping
bridal party-elect, their friends and at
tendauts. Confusion marked their move
ments. In few moments they
had gained the portals and were the
guests of Judge COachman. The Rev.
DR.. Kerr, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church of this place. was quickly sum-
mOned and the happy couple were soon
together bound with the silver bands that
know no breaking. In the meantime a
preventive to this performance was IL
the hands of some unknown official, but
OF no avail, for that gentleman Of the blue
coat, brass buttons and high author
ity knew not the precise locality
of the proceedings and failed to
find it until the ceremony
had been performed. He had only to
wire the brides father, who had instructed
him to prevent the marriage at all haz-
ards, that it was too late, as his daughter
was married before he could locate them
AS to the objection raised against the
union the NEWS correspondent has not
been informed. 1t is understood that the
contracting parties are of age. Mr.
Baum and his beautiful bride have many
friends in this city who present theII

EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS ARE IBEING
MADE
RAG IMPORTERS DISSATISFIED.
The Recently Issued Treasury Order
Catches Many CargOes on Passage.

The Recently Issued Treasury Order
Catches Many CargOes on Passage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia member of
Congress who is qualified to speak said
yesterday that the recent rag circular of
the Treasury Department was not salts
factory to the rag and paper stock impOr-
ters. These importers were desirous that
the old circular prohibiting the importa-
tiOn of rags except those disinfected) }
from infected ports should continue in
force if any prohibition of that sort was
considered necessary. They did not think
it necessary that a wider prohibition
should be placed on the importation of rags
so as to prevent the importation of rags,
except those disinfected, from all ports.
Then, when they came here and discover
ed that the Treasury Department pro-
posed TO get out another cilcuIar of
broader scope, they asked that it might
not be put into effect before the latter part
of January or Feb. /. The Treasury de-
partment, however, put it into effect at
an earlier day. The consequence is that
many cargOes of rags have been
caught on their way to this country,
and that for the present there is
great confusion in the rag trade
because foreign shippers cannot get mas
ters of vessels to ship rags until they OBJ
tain accurate knowledge of the terms Of
the circulars of the regulations issued in
its execution by the Treasury Depart
ment, and until, particularly, the methods
of inspection are known. The rag i'm
pOrters complain also that of all the half
dozen methods of disinfection authorized
in the recent Treasury circular the patent
process is so much the cheapest that it is
practically the only practicable one. This
patent process is controlled by a stock
company in New York, which expects
large profits,
