OUR CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY.
These is such an obvious propriety in cele
brating the centennial anniversary of oar
national independence on the very spot where
the Declaration of Independence was signed,
that it might be imagined no serious opposi
tion to such a project could exist. Indeed, it
is probable that no objections would be made
if it were proposed merely to hold a grand
anniversary festival; but the project of an
international exposition which has been
started has served to excite the rivalry of a
number of cities that hope to be benefited by
the eclat of such an occasion and by the
crowds of visitors that will undoubtedly
attend. The question, therefore, of holding
the proposed centennial in Philadelphia turns
quite as much on the facilities we can afford
in the way of suitable location for the expo
sition buildings, the receipt and storage of
goods, and the comfortable accommodation
of an immense concourse of strangers, as it
does upon the fact that the Declaration of In
pendence was signed here, and that Indepen
dence Hall is still standing, an object of reve
rence, in our midst. Fortunately for the pro
prieties of the occasion, there is no place in
tt whole United States that is better adapted
in every way for the loeation of a great
World's Fair. Our noble Park will
give ample space for all the build--ings
that may be required, while there
is no city in the Union that can afford better
or more ample accommodations to as many
people as may choose to attend from every
quarter of the globe. Goods of every de
scription from abroad can be landed directly
at our wharves, and transported without
difficulty to the place of exposition, while
direct communication with every section of
our country gives all the facilities that
could be desired for collecting specimens
of national industry and art.
It is, of course, to be expected that some
grumbling will be done by the people of
other cities in case Congress should finally
determine to hold an international exposition
in Philadelphia, but the same would occur if
any other city were to be selected, and all we
can ask in the matter is a fair and impartial
consideration of our claims. The Committees
on Manufactures and Foreign Relations of
the House of Representatives are now
in the city, according to an ap
pointment made some months ago. In his
original letter of invitation Mayor Fox re
quested the committees to visit Philadelphia
to make a quiet and unostentatious examina
tion of its localities, industries, and other
facilities. There is no necessity to go outside
of this programme, and we can well permit
the visitors to judge for themselves without
endeavoring to influence them by any ex
travagant demonstrations of welcome. The
advantages of Philadelphia have only to be
seen to be recognized, and any stranger
visiting Fairmount Park cannot but acknow
ledge that there is not a finer location on this
continent for an exposition building. We
anticipate that this visit of the committees of
Congress w ill finally settle the whole question
in favor of Philadelphia, and that measures
will be adopted very shortly preparatory to
the great event to come off on the 4 th of
July, 1870. That date is some years distant
yet, it is true, but it is proposed to make this
the most imposing anniversary celebration
that has ever taken place in the world's his
tory, and it is none too soon to take the first
steps towards it.
THE STREET MARKET STANDS.
The street market Btands have for years been
considered nuisances of the first magnitude
by the residents and storekeepers on the
thoroughfares where they were located, but
the "shinners" resisted successfully every
effort to remove them until the last session
of the Legislature, when a law was passed
prohibiting street market stands within cer
tain limits. Driven from their old quarters,
the "shinners" have been endeavoring ever
Bince to establish themselves in new localities,
and they procured the passage of an ordinance
by Councils setting apart Third street and
Germantown avenue, from Girard avenue to
Market street, for market stands. This ordi
nance was yesterday returned to Common
Council by the Mayor with, a veto, which very
clearly set forth the objectionable
character of such legislation. The
Mayor contends that although the
places designated by the ordinance are not
within the prohibited limits, yet as the act
of legislation was to be regarded as the
establishment of a system, to be extended
from time to time until all street markets
shall be abolished, it is both inexpedient and
improper to establish new curbstone market
stands, except when the sheerest necessity
for the comfort of a neighborhood demands
it. The Mayor further suggests that the
establishment of the proposed street market
stand would be an injustioe to those who
occupy the market-houses in that locality,
and who pay rent as well as license, and that
it would tend to depreciate the value of the
city property. The Mayor is clearly right on
all points, and the propriety of this veto will
be questioned by very few except the
"bhinners" themselves. Notwithstanding the
force of the objections, however, Common
Council passed the ordinance over the veto
by a heavy vote. We hope that Select Coun
cil will take a more liberal view of the matter
when it comes up in that body, and will aid
in doing away at once and forever with the
curbstone market nuisances.
DON. AMOS TArrAN AKKRltAK. THE
MEW ATTOIiNEY-QEKEliAL.
President Grant astounded the country not a
little at the outset by some of his Cabinet ap
pointments, but the crowning surprise has been In
his lastsclectlon that of the Hon. Amos Tappan
Akerman, of Georgia, whose name was sent to
the Senate yesterday as Attorney-General, in
place of Hon. Ebenczcr R. Hoar, of Massa
chusetts, resigned.
Mr. Akerman is a native of New Hampshire,
having been born at Portsmouth, in that State,
In the year 1823. After receiving a thorough
preparatory education,' he entered Dartmouth
College at Hanover, in his native State, in 1833,
and graduated in 1842, at the age of twenty.
In the following year he left New England and
took up his residence at Elbertson, the county
scat of Elbert county, Georgia, about seventy
miles to the north of Augusta. Here he entered
upon the study of the law in the ofllce of the
late Hon. John M. Berrien, a lawyer of great dis
tinction, who had served as Attorney-General in
the Cabinet of President Jackson, from 1829 to
1831, and also as United States Senator.
From all the accounts that have reached
us, Mr. Ackerman soon attained a high reputa
tion as a lawyer and a man of unquestioned
personal Integrity, and pursued the successful
practice of his profession until the outbreak of
the Rebellion, without material Interruption
and without taking any prominent part In poli
tics. He acted, however, with the Whig party
as long as that organization remained intact,
and does not appear to have affiliated with the
Democracy at any period in his career except
during the Rebellion.
Mr. Akerman's exact status on the secession
question is as j et a matter of doubt, a f act.ho we vcr,
which in itself will tend greatly to disturb the
equanimity of the people. We are told that, in
common with many of the leading men of the
South, he opposed the secession movement at
the outset, and continued to oppose it until op
position became futile, when he yielded to the
pressure f his surroundings and "went with his
State." This much appears to be reliable, but
the extent to which he favored and promoted
the cause of the Rebellion is not so clear. "A
report," say the Washington despatches, "that
he served in the Rebel army is probably correct,''
and It is even asserted that he served upon the
staff of the Confederate General Toombs during
the greater part of the war, without, however,
figuring prominently or attaining any distinction.
It is also asserted that he acted as couuscl for
Toombs when he was arraigned before a court
martial In 1864. Until these reports are
cleared up, and it is proved beyoud doubt that
Mr. Akerman did not even play at the hazardous
game of treason, the country will be apt to
regard his appointment without much enthu
siasm; and if the fact that he did countenance
the war upon the Union, even to the small ex
tent of lounging about the headquarters of
Toombs, the blatant paper soldier, should be
established, the great mass of the Northern
people will look to the Senate to vindicate the
name of loyalty and rescue the nation from the
burning shame of condoned treason in the
Cabinet, by an instant and uncompromising
refusal to confirm his nomination.
Mr. Akerman's career subsequent to the war
Is not involved in as much doubt as clouds the
previous portion of his history. He at least
"accepted the situation" promptly and without
reservation, and, although not making at the
outset any very positive professions of Republi
canism, recognized the Irresistible force of the
great popular movement which carried General
Grant Into the President's chair, having pre
viously urged the people of his adopted State to
accept the Congressional pohev of recon
struction and do their utmost towards the
rehabilitation of the South. By this course he
gained the confidence of the reconstruction
party in his own State, as well as that of such
of the Republican leaders of the North as were
personally acquainted with him. We find his
name at the head of the Grant electoral ticket
in Georgia In 1868, a circumstance which proves
that at that time, whatever may have been his
course during the war, he had become thoroughly
reconstructed in sentiment, and soon after the
new administration came Into power his political
disabilities were removed by Congress, and he
was nominated by the President and confirmed
by the Senate as United States attorney for the
District of Georgia a position for which his
high legal attainments fully qualified him, even
if bis advocacy of secession should morally dis
qualify him from holding a seat in the Cabinet.
He was a leading member of the convention
of 1867 by which the present Constitution of
Georgia was framed, and, it is said, made an
earnest effort to have incorporated in the funda
mental law of the State a pro
vision which would place the right
of the colored people to hold office be
yond doubt or dispute. Mr. Akerman, however,
has not affiliated Kith the extreme radical wing
of the Republican party of Georgia, but has
beeu a firm opponent of the Bullock regime, a
circumstance which is to be put down to his
credit. Last winter, when ex-Attorney-General
Hoar was rejected by the Senate as Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United States, and
the President endeavored to meet one of the
objections urged against his first appointment
by selecting a Southern man for the vacancy,
it is said that be had fixed upon Mr. Akerman
for the position as the best and most available
person to be found, in case the nomination
of Judge Bradley of New Jersey should encoun
ter a fate like that which met the aspirations of
Mr. Hoar.
Such, as far as can be ascertained, has been
the record of President Grant's new appointee
to the responsible position of Attorney-General,
and it must be confessed that it is anything but
satisfactory to the country. Unless It should
appear that Mr. Akerman did not serve in the
Confederate army, there can be but little doubt
that the nomination will prove unacceptable to
the Senate. The people are quite willing that
he should be District Attorney for Georgia, but
the Attorney-Generalship of the United States,
involving as it does a seat in the Cabinet und a
voice in the foreiga and domestic policy ot the
administration, is altogether another thing.
' A Mew Canal Around Niagara Falls. The
fact that the Welland Canal has long since ceased
to meet the requirements of trade between Lakes
Erie and Ontario, its tonnage n 1S6T being less than
in lftfT, while the shipments of produce from Mil
waukee In the gam period have more than quad
rupled, has occasioned a necessity for Increased
facilities which the Ontario and Erie 8ulp Canal
Company hope to meet. The municipalities of the
town aiid township of Niagara, the respective
Boaida of Trade of the cities of Chicago, Oiwego,
and Toledo, the Chamber of Commerce of Mil
waukee, and others Interested, petitioned the Par
liament of Canada for (he Incorporation cf that com
pany. The toaoutial work the; prup wc u a bruca
of the Wclland Canal from the town of Niagara to
connect with the Wetland at Thorold. It is Intended
to make this "Niagara Lateral cat" on a scale com
mensurate with the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, which
can pass vessels of sooo tons, while the Welland now
can pass only those of 400. At Niagara the month of
the Niagara river will furnb h the new canal with a
magnificent harbor. Then, Instead of enlarging the
npper ronton of the Welland, It Is proposed to cat
from Tborold the head of the lateral cut six miles
to the Chippewa or Welland river, which, with a
little improvement, will eqaal the rest of thn new
canal in carrying capacity. That river empties into
the Niagara river above the Falls. The new ronte
Is Intended principally for steam vessels, whl;h,
coming from Lake Erie, would pass down the
Niagara river to the Chippewa or Welland river, up
it to Thorold, thence to Lake Ontario at.the mouth
of the Niagara river, having simply made a detour
around the Falls. The Welland Canal would be left
to the enjoyment of "the schooner trade."
OBITUARY.
Jerome Nnpolron Hnnnpnrte (Pattrrnon).
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, the offspring of the
unfortunate marriage of Jerome Bmapirte with fie
beautirul MIhs Elizabeth Patterson, or Baltlm re,
died In that city this morning at the age or Bljct..y-nve
years. When Jerome Bonaparte became acquainted
with Miss Patterson he was In couimand or a French
frigate, which arrived at New York in 1303. His re
lationship to the most prominent man of the day
caused him to be much sought after, and h was en
tertained with lavish hospitality by the best society
of all our principal cities. During a visit to Balti
more he became acquainted with Miss Elizabeth
Patterson, the belle of the city and the daughter of
a wealthy merchant MUs Patterson was lUi tered
by the attentions of the handsome youug Freuch
man, and Jerome found no difficulty lu falling
in love with the beautiful American. Miss
Patterson doubtless thought herself the most
fortunate woman alive wheu Jerome pro
posed matrimony, and Jerome, Infatuated with
his present bliss, must have forgotten all abmit this
terrible brother in Paris, who was already preparing
to assume the imperial purple, and who had other
prospects for his brothers and sisters than alliance s
with republican citizens of the United .States, who
could do nothing to advanoe his power and the in
terests of his family. The marriage ceremony was
performed on the 14th of December, 1803, by Bishop
Carroll, of Baltimore, according to the rites of thn
Roman Catholic Church; and the marriage contract,
which was drawn up with unusual care by the lion.
A. J. Dallas, was witnessed by many of the miwt
prominent cttiaena of Baltimore.
A Washington correspondent of the New York
World gives the following interesting particulars or
the courtship ot Miss Patterson, as told by an old
schoolmate, which are luterestlug in this connec
tion :
"Among the residents of Washington are some
chaiming old ladles who could ill! column after
column with the 'social gossip' of other davs. oue
ol these was a schoolmate of Madame Bonaparte,
and has much to say of 'Betsey f altersnn's'couiiuest
aud the way in which it was accomplished. Ol the
brilliant beauty and remarkable conversational
powers of this woman, whose history ha t so muo'i
of tragic romance about It, her friend s.iyt t o much
cannot he affirmed. She was justly entitled to all
the admiration she received, aud eveu now that her
beauty is gone, her Intellect is perfectly clear, u I
her wit and readiness la conversation htve
lost little of the liro of her youtn. '.Mary,'
she exclaimed, in an earnest address to her
frttnl a few years ago, 'to thluk of a
woman of my ambition being so crusiied !' iShe
hhowed a most beautiful likeness of herself, as hli"
was, to some ladles, with a perfectly innocent and
surely not wonderful pride in its lovehuens, und
said, 'Do you see how pleased and huppy 1 look V
That was because all the time 1 was sitting the
artist was telling me how much h" admired mo und
how handsome 1 was.' She was told she ought to
allow the picture to be copied, but she indignantly
refused to do so, saying it was for her grinds m,
and no one else should have it. Hie capti
vating of Jerome Bonn parte was done of malie
t-repenM. She had heard of his arrival in Balti
more, and when the lady who tells the -nory veut
to visit her at her father's country-seat, a few inilen
Irom that city, on the York road, the conversation
turned upon the newly-arrived Frenchmen. Kali
the visitor: 'You must come to see me soon,
Betsey, and meet Bonaparte.' 'I snail come,' replied
the young lady, 'prepared for conquest. Oh, to g
to France as his wife aud be the admiration of nil
Europe!' A few days afterwards she weut to Balti
more. 'I heard voices In the street,' sas tue
friend, 'and looking out the window I Maw
Betsey coming on a jackass.' In this way it
seems the beauty rode on to glory. The, next
day there were races, and Betsey attended them,
wearing a white wig. It was the fashion in tho e
days for ladies to wear wigs of every luiaginaoie
color. A belle might appear In the morning with
red hair, at noon with white, and at night with
brown, her own perhaps being black, as was tho
cane with Miss Patterson's, which was of a beauti
ful Shane of black not the luky-black, or yet the
blue-black Wearing her white wig aud seated n
the carriage with other ladles, she was introduced
by Omniodoie Barney to JeiOMe Bonaparte, who
was at once struck with admiration of the 'Urer.uu
beauty,' as she was called, while a rival belle viio
aiterwards married one of Jerome's suite, (inner il
BubclJ, was known as the 'Koinau beauty.' The
same day General Smith, 'the hero of Miirtfort,'
gave a dinner to the Frenchmen at which Mis Pat
terson appeared, wearing her own ha r, and com
pleted her conquest on the spot. Jerome told h- r
Bhe was so much more beautiful when adorned ny
her natural tresses than the could posxltily be in any
wig that she never again donned one of tiioa'e
monstrosities.
"In the course of a few days young Bouapartu
gave a grand ball, and Miss Patterson was his part
ner. In the dance he threw over her head a gold
chain, to which was attached a miniature likeness
of himself, set in diamonds, and the lady bore it oir
in triumph. Thus the engagement was made. Ml-
Patterson's father, however, disapproved, and sent
her away to what Is termed the wilds of Virginia.
Jerome's love penetrated even to that seclud d
spot, and he succeeded In having letters carried to
her. When Mr. Patterson discovered this, he na le
no further violent opposition, but brought his daugii
ter home, and in a short time the marriage took
place. When the young couple were ready to g
to Europe, Mr. Patterson, who was a merchaut a id
ship-owner, fitted out one of his own vessels to n
vey his daughter in regal style to that France which
she hoped to conquer by her beauty."
The great expectations of the lady were doomed
to bitter disappointment. During the residence of
Jerome In the United States Napoleon had been de
clared Emperor of the French, and on the arrival
of the young couple on the other side of the Atlun lo,
they found that an order from the Emperor had
closed all the ports of France against the bride,
and that she was forbidden to set foot upon its
shores. Napoleon, who had other views
for his brother, not only disapproved of
his marriage, but he determined to totally
disregard It. lie accordingly declared tie
marriage to be null and void, and arranged a matri
monial alliance between Jerome and Frederic
Caroline, the daughter of the King of Wurtemnurg.
Jerome had not the spirit or perhaps the disposition
to resist his brother, and he accordingly tamely
submitted, and his second marriage took place oa
the 12th of August, 1807. The Church of Koine,
however, refused to recognize this disregard of one
of Its most Important sacraments, and ilia Pope
Pius YH would not sanction the bigamy.
When Jerome and his wife found themselves ex
cluded from France they landed at Lisbon, when
Jerome bade his wife farewell, and, after directing
her to proceed to Amsterdam, hastened to Paris with
the hope that he would be able to recoucile Nap -leou
to the match. Madame Bonaparte weut to
Amsterdam on an American Bblp, but here also she
was by an order from the Fiench Government pro
hibited from landing, and she accordingly
went to England, where she took up
her residence at Camberwtll, near London, to
awall the decision of her fate. Tliere.-on the 7th of
July, 1605. was born the subject of the present
sketch. Madame Patterson-Bonaparte lived lu hope
that her marriage would finally be recognized, aud
that she would be permitted to rejoin her hustmud,
and figure at the Court of the Emperor us one ot
Its brightest ornaments. The second marriage ol
Jerome, however, proved how unavail'ug her hopes
were, and in Ibll she returned to Baltimore au 1
took up tier residence at her father's house.
Her sou received every educational advantage,
and in 1326 he graduated at Harvard I'utversii.v.
Afterward he studied law, but never practued it.
Boon after leaving Harvard be married Mi-mhusau
Mary Williams, of KoxUiry, Mass., a id took up his
abode in Baltimore, where he reatdtd up to the time
of his death. Ilia ai.'e'a fortune was large, aud
added to his own It made him one of the richest men
in the city. Mr. Tattcrson-Bonaparte was highly
esteemed by all who knew him, although the retired
manner In which he lived never brought him pro
nilnently before the public la 1901 he gave a cor
dial support to the Union cause, and used both his
wealth and Influence on the side or the nation. The
Immediate cause of his death was cancer in the
throat, from which he suffered for many years, and
wlch was pronounced incurable from its Inception.
Madame Patterson-Bonaparte still survives at the
8ge of ninety years, and It is said that she retains all
her faculties and still confidently expects that her
r'phts will be recognized by the French Government.
After the desertion of Jerome she never saw him
but once, and that was but for a moment. In 1820
she visited Europe, and while inspecting the works
of art In the Plttl Palace, in Florence, Jerome en
tered with the daughter of the King of Wurtemburg
on tils arm, and lie was heard to remark to her in an
undertone, polnt.ng to the American lady, "That Is
my former wife." He appeared to be afraid of her,
however, for the next morning he left Florence, with
the evident intention of avoiding the risk of another
Interview.
During the reign of Louis Thlllppe, the son of
Madame Patterson Bonaparte vlsjted Paris, where
he was received with tnuch cordiality, and he was
also the guest of the present Emperor, who gave his
eldest son, Jerome Napoleon, a commission in the
French army.
Prince Napoleon and the Princess Mathllde, the
children or Jerome by his second wife, were the half
brother aud sister of the deceased; and if Madame
Patterson Bonaparte's marriage should ever be re
c gnlzed as valid by the French Government, his
descendauts would take precedence of Prince Napo
ieon and the Princess Mathllde. All attempts to
secure such recognition have hitherto Tailed, and it
is said that Jerome, who died about two
years ago, was bitterly opposed to admitting
the claims of his first wife, and would
only acknowledge her son and grandson under the
name of Patterson. The abandonment of Miss
Patterson was a piece of meanness peculiarly char
acteristic of the Bonapaate fam'iy, and there Is but
Itttle hopepinless great and unforeseen changes take
place, that justice will be done in the matter.
The gentleman who died this morning Is said to have
borne a striking resemblance to the first Napoleon,
both in his features and his personal appearance.
