Republican Programme as TO Ap-

The Washington Critic is informed
that at caucus held by the Republican
Senators in March last, the following
rules were adopted:
l. That in case OF the removal OF any
efficient Republican public officer on the
so-called ground OF offensive partisanship''
and the nomination OF Democratic par
tisan7 in his place, that such nomination
will not ee confirmed. .. That in case any
Democratic partisan" cause the removal
OF efficient Republican and receives as
his reward Tor causing such removal the
nomination as successor to the decapitated
1 official, that such nomination viii hot be
confirmed
/ Tue reasons assigned for the adoption OF
I these rules are understood to be in effect
that the Senate, under the constitutional
/ provision of ''advice anc consent" Is an
advisory body 10 the Executive, and with
him Is held responsible for the character
OF the civil service; and that under the
laws OF Congress establishing civil service
reform la the public Offices Of the country,
their duty requires some such action as
indicated in the above caucus rules
We have no doubt but the above Is
entirely correct. The Republican party
is a courageous as well as inscription;

contesting every inch of ground, and Of

The Exposition.

After seven months of misfortunes. mis-
takes, and successes, the Worlds Indus
trial and Cotton Centennial Exposition
closed on Monday last. Its re-opening,
next winter, is a matter yet undetermin-
ed. There has been strong local
demand for its extension, but we think
the general sentiment of the country is
that the Exposition has accom- plished
its mission, and that its continuance is
of questionable expediency. The with
drawal of the Government exhibits bv
an order of the Cabinet and the neces-
sary. withdrawal of tue State exhibits.
by exhaustion of appropriations, viii so
: curtail the attractions as virtually to
deprive the Exposition of its national or
interstate character. With all these and
other valuable features, it has.been a diff
ficult matter for the management to
J draw erowds,in sufficient numbers to nav
operating expenses. Except on Louis
lana Day, and few other special occa-
sions, the Exposition has not been as
well sustained at home as it deserved 10
be. MANY gave it their time and
their money others, their neglect
or abuse. The Exposition has at
;racted millions Of people and millions
of money to New Orleans, and iteis
natural, and perhaps laudable, for the
citizens of New Orleans to wish an ex-
tension of the great fair; but our
observation is, they have not shown that
liberality or harmony essential to sue
cess. The projectors of the enterprise
may have been more sanguine than
practical,and the arrangements may have
made mistakes that should have been
avoided, but they should have been
relieved by local subscriptions from the
financial embarrassment that resulted
from bad weather and other elements
that'could not have been foreseen or CON
trelled.
The Exposition, in all its essential
aims and details, has been grand
success. and the expenditures by the
General Government the States, and
individual exhibitors, have not been in
vain. The people of the United States
have been brought closer together than
ever before, and the seeds Of peace
apd good will thus planted will bear
fruit for all coming time. The great
and varied resources and possibilities Of
the South have astonished not only
our visitors, bl2 DUR own people; and
the collective exhibits Of our fields and
factories have been -gratifying to our
pride. and should incite US to progress
In every department Of industry. So
far a. this State il. concerned, we believe
that she will be well compensated for
The LIBERAL and abiding interest she has
taken in the Exposition Bat while we
record this as our Judgment of the
{ practical outcome Of the Exposition, we
incline to the opinion that it, extension
Is pot only not necessary, but that q
~ould RESULT il disappointment H.
