Nr.XT Wednesday, the 10th, being the day on which the Centennial Ex position will be formally opened to the public, vi!I be :t public holiday, Ihe present Legislature having passed a bill to that eirecf, which has been, higned by the Governor. -- - O Monday last, Entile J. PetrofT, n Republican representative in the Legislature from the Fifth disliiet of Philadelphia, was expelled, by a vote of 118 yeas to 46 nays, "for conduct unbecoming a gentleman," growing out of the passage of the boom bill. On the next day Martin F. Lvnott, a Democratic m?mber from Luzo;ne count-, met the same fate by a vote of 141 to 29. On the same day, Geo. W. Skinner, Journal Clerk. of the House, took time by the forelock and sent in his resignation. When shall we three meet again ? If a President, when he first entered tiIon the duties of his ollice, was sub limely ignorant of the constitution of his country, which he hml sworn to obey, protect and defend, it was at least expected that by the time he had entered upon the last year of h:s second term he would have read it and become somewhat familiar with its provisions. urani nas not (tone so. jn nts late i vet of the bill reducing the salary of! the President frcm $50,000 to $25000 he used the following language ; "When the salary of the President of j the United States was fired by thr j Constitution at $25 01)0 per snnnni ;" i and, again, near the close, where he said: "It is not now one-fifth in value what it was when fixed by the Con.ti luticm in supplying demands and wants." It is scarcely necessary to say that th.9 salary of the President is nA fixed b) the constitution, but is regulated by an act of Congress. If the salary was established by tho Constitution, Con gress could not pass an act in any way interfering with it, nnd hence Grant would never have had the opjiort unity, which he so eagerly embraced three years ago, of signing the salary grab bill which doubled his own pay. I f be lielievcd in his own view of the Constitution, as he ignorantly did no doubt, why did he not say to Congress in his veto messegs that it had over reached itself and had undertaken to i legislate on a subject over which it i had no jurisdiction. Congress knew j what it was doing and Grant did not, t and that is just the dilference between j thorn. That we have a President who believes and is not afraid to say that Iris salary is fixed by the Constitution ta the crooning glory o( this centen nial year. Great is Diana of the Ephosians. ---f "Then they let up a little, and turn fo wlii te.wash itijj Pendleton, by aiding Marsh and bis wife, the principal witnesses sairst him and IJMknap, to escape to Canada, who were ouly brought back by tho intcrMsitton, at the express suggestion and through the personal exertions of the President, and or, nfte? all their boomerangs have re coiled, they are endeavoring to havo 1be rase of Belknap pes'poned until after the Presidential election, for fear that if they go further hey will injure their party." The above paragraph is taken from a somewhat length article in the Johnstown Tribune of April lOtli, alwunding in similar false and un founded accusations against the Dem ocratic party. Whether the article was original, or copied from some other radical sheet, we do not know, nor is it important to inquire, since the Tribune puolishea it as its own. The; was not, when it appeared in that paper, nor is tneir yet,, one wont ot truth tn it. the trial ixiore tnc Senate had not tlien been commenced and none of the managers of the House, composed of Democrats and Republi cans, had ever made a suggestion of postponement. Rut on the 27th, eight days after the Tribune article appear ed when the managers and Ilelknap's counsel appeared before the Senate, we hear for the first time something about postponement, as the following report of the proceedings will show : . r ojir.t arrcnrer.o m-e..o, ,.,-.., a,.!

It is in Ibis view I do congratulate you most earnestly upon th5 success which, I believe, will attend our efforts." (Great applause. ) The Democratic State Convention of New York, which met at Utisa on Wednesday of last week, adopted a resolution strongly recommending Governor Tilden as the nominee of the St. Louis National Convention for the Presidency. With cpiil unanimity, the Democratic State Convention of Indiana has presented Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks for the same high honor. Although it is only a few weeks until the representatives of the Democracy of the whole country will assemble at St, Lo;isr fro place in nomination can didates for President and Vice Presi dent, it would be idle, even at this late day, to ppecnlate as to the result. Democratic sentiment does not seem to be sufficient! v concentrated on anv j one of the candidates to indicate upon whom the honor of the nomination will be conferred. All the gentlemen who are prominently spoken of in connec tion with the nomination are regarded as both honest and competent, and therefore possess the two necessary qualifications demanded by the office. The names of Tilden, Hendricks, Ibiyard, Hancock and Thurman are a guarantee that the convention could not well make a mistake by the selec tion of either of them. Strong and weighty arguments can lc adduced in favor of each. Location and the per sonal and political strength supposed to be connected with it will have much to do in effecting a choice, although the mere fact of a man residing in a particular State ought not to be a controlling consideration In his favor, nor, on the other hand, ought it to be an insuperable objection nirainst him. j What the people want nnd are deter ; mined to have in the Presidential ottice j is an honest and capable man one who i not only professes reform nnd re I trenchmcnt, but who has the courage to carry them out in all their length and breadth a man whose fearless administration of the h?gh trust re posed in him will reflect honor nnd credit, and not disgrace and shame, upon the country.

He has lived in Indiana sitico ISIS, and is thoroughly identified with the interests of the State and the character of its people, lie is a farmer of simple manners, great intelli gence and spotless integrity, and he has bad large exjK-rience in State politics, hav ing served over twenty years in the Legis lature, lie is about six feet three inches in height, and from that fact, as well as bis honesty, sbrewduess,, plain, homespun sense and habits, and his good-humored, Wncvolent expression, he is known as the Abe Lincoln of Indiana. He is beloved far and "wide by people of all parties, but is especially trusted by the farmers, who bxik upon him not as a professipnal politi cian, but as one of themselves, sent to the capital to attend to the public business for a given time. Some idea of bis popularity may be gathered from the fact that he was elected to the present Congress by a vote nearly don'do that of bis opponent. lie has been a life-long Democrat, and was the nominee of the party for the Scnatorship in 1873. and, although we must acknowl edge that we cannot approve of his no tions on finance, it is bnt f.tir to say that he is sincere in his convictions, and aims to act fortius public good as be understands it. There is not an inch of demagogue in him from the crown of bis head to the sole of his foot and that is a long distance. We bid him God-speed, heartily, and only wish for him as good a knowledge of economic principles as be already possesses of political and ethical. Under his leader ship the party in Indiana ought to make a ringing campaign. It may be added the rest of the ticket is worthy of the man at the head of it Three cheers for Uncle J Jimmy Williams ! Xw York Herald. Romance of tiie REr.iriXTox. Tho In dianapolis Ilrrald says : "Sixteen years ago a wealthy Indianapolis gentlemen had a daughter who was the pet of the house hold and a society belle. A young mar., son of another prominent citizen, wooed the daughter, and, failing to find favor in the eyes of her father, projected and carried to a successful issue an elopement. Tho yonng couple were married and located in Texas. At tho outbreak of the war the young husbnnd enlisted in a Confederate regiment, and the wife, disguised in. male attire, enlisted in the aame regiment, and followed her husband to the field. During ono of the engagements in which the regi ment participa'ed, the wife was wounded by a minnie bullet, and the husband, still 1 ignorant or ber disguise, helped to carry ber from the field. In dressing the wound j the sex of the dashing trooper was dis covered, whereupon sho was discharged ' from the regiment and came north. The hnsband was killed in a succeeding engagement.

Memphis Aiulancht, (An article appeared lately in Pomeroy's Democrat telling an extraordinary 6tory abont Wilkes Booth and hi motive for killing Mr. Lincoln. The story ran that! Booth was devotedly" attached to the Rebel Captain 15eal, who was convicted of a dastardly crime, and- hanged in one of the forts at New York; that upon . learning that his friend was nuder sentence of death Booth prevailed upon Mr. Wash McLean to go with him to the President, and that on the way they called ou Hon-.' John XV. For ney and took him along. Booth is then represented as having besought Mr. Lincoln on his knee, and with tears streaming down his cheeks, tospare him the one man whom he loved. Lincoln, it is said, was touched with compassion, and gave bis word that Captain Beal should be pardoned, L bnt Secretary Seward, afterwards strenn ously objecting, the President allowed the execution to take place. This exasperated liooth., and led to the assassination. Colonel Forney, having been, asked what truth there is in the story, replies, through his paper, that, so faf ns he is1 concerned, it is an utter fabrication: that lie never saw Booth in his life, and that tho only : time he ever went in company with W as h McLean to secure an Executive pardon was in behalf of General Roger ' A.- Pryor,' whose release from prison ho tlrus'secured.' This settles the Pomeroy story effectually. It had a fishy look upon , the face of it. But another reminiscence of Ihe assassin, given by the Washington correspondent of the New Yovk Tribunf, seems to be better authenticated.. It is tli at Booth made, des perate efforts to break through the guards which held back the crowd from the east portico of the Capitol on the day of Lin coln's second inauguration ; that he actual ly had made his way through one lino pf policemen and had nearly reached the platform where the President was vhen Mr. Westfall, of the Capitol guards, stop-' ped him, and .succeeded, aftor a severe tus sle, in pushing him back into the crowd. The correspondent proceeds to say that for thisserv:ce Westfall waR made a lieutenant of the police, which position he retained until the meeting of the present Congress. Probablb Mcmvtes. A reeeut mysteri ous caving in of the graves in which Cap tain Jack and his fellow murderers were buried, revealed the fact that the desd Modocs had disnppearcd, and in their place was nothing but sepulchred emptiness with a strong smell of -vanished Indian. The original theory of this remarkable grave delivery was that the remains had been recently recovered by their tribe for the purpose of recommitting them to the ground with such funeral honors as Indians deem necessary to the repose of their braves. But it uow seems likely to have been the work of persons who intend to make mummies of their spoil and exhibit them at the Centennial. This deed of vi olation was possibly inspired by the patri otic ghoul who proposed to exhibit at Philadelphia the remains of Washington and other Revolutionary patriots, including Tecnmseh and Philip of Xatragansett and Powhatan, if the reiics of those distin guished Aborigines could be recovered. Captain Jack and his comrades possess feebler claims to such honor, and if they do really appear, it will probably be as subordinate features in a side-show, where they will run seiious risk of being treated with as mrrrh ignominy as was A t 'emus Ward's wax figure of the false apostle, tho countenance of which was cilmlir i xirx in by a spectator, with the remaik that Judas Iscariot could t ot appear in that'iown with impunity. Captain Jack will run 'he risk of similar violence at the hands of some reck less and indignant patriot if he puts in a Centennial appearance. It would ho bet ter to redeposit him in the soil from which he was mysteriously snatched, and wo recommend this view of the case to the taxidermist who is perchance engaged in the work of setting him up, and to the showman who hopes to turn an evil penny by exhibiting him.

The evidence in the case of the bank robbers Holland and Jebuson. closed on Friday afternoon last, and an evening session was ordered for the argument of counsel. The prosecution was conducted by the district attorney, O. C. Bowers, esq., who was assisted by Messrs.JKentiedy and Stewart. The burglars were defended by I. McDowell Sharpc, esq., and Messrs. Dnncau & McGowan. Never was the couit bouse s completely jammed as it was on the occasion of the argument of the case, a large portion of the audience being com posed of ladies, it being their first appear ance in court within the recollection of tho oldest inhabitant. No evidence was offer ed by the defense, but this did not give them the concluding argument, thepractiee being didcrcnt from that. of the courts of Philadelphia.
