The Fatal State Department.

The State Department, which, at
the beginning Of our Government,
was looked upon as the stepping
stone to the Presidency, became later
on singularly fatal to the ambitions
of almost every man who took charge
of it, and its possession in many eases
has been the forcrunncr of disaster,
disease and death. Upshur, one Of
Tylcr's Secretaries of State, was
blown up on the Princeton while
he was in office, and Hugh
S. Legarc, the Secretary of State
who preceded Upshur, died at
Boston at the celebration of the Bun
Ror Hill Monument, which he was
attending with tho President in his
capacity rs Secretary. Daniel Web
ster, while acting rs Fillmore's Sec
retary OF State, was, in 1852, thrown
from his carriage and there received
the injuries which caused his death
the following October. Secretary
William ii. Seward never recovered
fully from the blow of the assassin
Payne, which he received on the
night Lincoln was killed, and his pc-
ltical future was injured by his con
necton with johnson in the State
Department in the following Adminis-
tration. James &. Blaine narrowly es-
capped receiving Guteau's bullet when
he walked down to the depot arm
in-arm with President Garfield to see
HIM off to Long Branch, and the dis
satisfaction with Blaine's aggressive
policy rs Secretary of State probably
lost him enough votes during the last
election to put Cleveland into the
White House, Had Henry Clay not
accepted the State portfolio from John
Quincy Adams the "bargain' and
corruption" cry would never have
been raised and Clay would
probably not have died disappointed
In his ambition to be Presi lent. John
c. Calhoun's future was largely af-
fected by the fights he had while he
was Secretary of State, by which he
became estrangcd from jackson and
his party, and Marcy and Cass
dropped out of the State Department
IN existing nonentityncss.-CIeveid

Applications iorspace.

Advices from New Orleans state that applications for space in the var ious buildings of the American Expo sition, to open on November, 10th, are daily pouring in from States, cities and large business arms in all parts of the United States; while the coun- tres of Mexico, Central and South America, as we'll as important places in Europe, are sending in a large LGuota. In fact, where at the outset, the filling of the oceans of vacant space caused the promoters of the enterprise no inconsiderable amount of anxiety, the situation has within the past month been entirely reversed and the management deem il their duty to inform those intending exhib- itors who have not yet applied for space to do so at once, ere II be too late. While thus is, of course a very gratifying state of affairs, that the management is able to announce, still il shows the necessity of city and individual exhibitors who have thus far failed to make their applications for space doing so immediately. There is no longer any question oi the success of the American Exposi- tion; it has been constructed upon sound business principles; it is opera ted by business men, to solve the commercial problem of the day-the securing of an outlet for our surplus manufactured products. The non- manufacturing countries of Spanish and Portuguese America are looked to for the relief needed. Al the com. ing exposition they will contract their resources with ours, and afford the opportunity of reaching an early un. derstanding for the establishment ol business relations of mutual advantage. This question of new trade relations for merchants of the United States necessitates prompt action on the part of our manufacturers and busi- ness men, in order that they shall be represented in the magnificent Expo, sition to take place in New Orleans this winter.

The ground plan shows a building 6ox7o feet on the ground, which will be divided mo four large rooms 3oxSo feet. The whole build ing will be surrounded by ten-ioo: veranda. The front elevation shows a handsome brick structure of one high story, surmounted by Mansard roof. The windows are all French, reaching down 10 the floor, and the lower half of them paneled. Tran sons will be placed over each win dow, thus making great abundance of light and ventilation. On one side of the hall the rooms are separa- ted by folding partition, by which means the two rooms can be opened out into one large elegant hall, 3ox6o feet. The building will be both pretty and convenient for the purpose in- tended, when it Is finished.- Phenix Herald.
