WHAT MUST BE DONE AT CIN
CINNATI.
As the time for holding the Cineinnati
Convention approaches, great interest is
manifested in the result by those deeply
interested in politics. There is no deny
ing the fact that there is a deep underly
ing current pervading the masses, which
strongly indicates a dislike to accept the
nominee of either of the leading parties.
This pervades all grades of society, and it
would be very unwise to disregard it. It
grows out of the fact that the Democratic
party has given no assurance of its ability
to remedy the evils which it is alleged the
Republican party have brought upon the
country. In other words, there is no con
fidence in either party. If a few leading
men, men whom all parties respect, with
ability to lead, were to rise up and ignore
existing pa' ty lines, the probabilities aro
that the next President would not owe his
election to either the Republicans or Dem
ocrats, but to a spontaneous uprising of
the people. This being the feeling among
the people, it will require no little care,
on the part of our representatives at Cin
cinnati, in selecting a candidate. The nom
inee must be an honest and capable man
a man having the confidence of the people.
We hope for the best and we assure our
Republican friends that they must do the
best or our banner will be trailed in the
dust.
We regret very much that the Repub
lican party has been so fearfully demoral
ized and that thousands upon thousands
of its voters stand ready :o vote for its
nominees simply because they cannot do
any better. They abominate the cor
ruptions which have sprung up in high
places, and insist upon the party returning
to the days of its purity when it was led
by such men as Lincoln, Greeley, Smith,
Seward, Sumner, Wilson, and many others,
who have gone to that bourne from which
no traveler returns. Honesty character
ized every action of these men and the
party prospered, and it was not until the
hungry horde of Democrats, finding no
opportunity to plunder in their own party,
swooped down upon us like the Goths and
the Vandals, capturing our organization
and thrusting the honest original Repub
licans to the rear and filling every place
of honor and profit with their own kind, that
the party became corrupt. The Coniren
tion will do well to take all this into con
sideration and govern itself. accordingly
Wa assure the editor of the Globe that
we never once thought of him when we
indited the little paragraph in regard to
fixing up some things in this county. And
we assure him further that we never count
on doubtful voters. We always give the
enemy the benefit of the doubt, and espe
cially is this so where the case has been so
completely "fixed" as the editor in ques
tion has been for the last three or four
years. Both Democrats and Republicans
have r•;garded him as an unquestionable
fixture—a full-grown tail to the Demo
cratic kite with Speer at the string. Of
course, if by any miraculous interposition
of Providence, or less potent agency, if it
were possible for a less potent agency to
accomplish it, he should support the Re
publican party once again, we will be re
joiced at it, but until the miracle is per
formed he will please understand that we
do not refer to him when we speak openly
and above board of fixing things in the
Republican party. So, Professor, you are
on the wrong scent. You have wasted
that valuable gas upon the desert air. Un
like bread east upon the waters it will
hardly return after many days. Allay
thy wrath, and humbly—down on thy
bonded knees—ask Mr. Speer's forgiveness
for having endeavored to create the im
pression that there is still a secret hanker
ing, in thy breast, after the flesh-pots of
Egypt.
A WEEK or two ago we took ground in
favor of opening the Centennial Exhibi
tion on Sunday, a position in accordance
with views long since firmly rooted in us,viz:
to advocate, to promote, and to defend any
innocent Sunday employment which has
fur its object the enlightenment, refine
ment and disenthralment, both bodily and
mentally, of the human family.. For these
and other reasons we have always advoca
ted Sunday preaching, (a very heavy labor
with some,) Sunday schools, Sunday news
papers, Sunday cars for the benefit of the
poor, Sunday postoffiees, and every other
institution that the percentage of gain
morally, religiously, intellectually and
physically is well marked. History will
tell any one, who will take the trouble to
examine, that Sunday is not the day set
apart by the decalogue, however much we
may endeavor to accord to it the same
place in our religious observances. But
we have no disposition to discredit it ; on
the other hand we simply design to make
the best out of the institution for humani
ty, and here we accord fully with all the
fathers of the churches. The man who
says we want to desecrate it simply does
not know the difference between the Sun
day of a Christian and the Sabbath of a
Jew.
WE are deeply indebted to Frederick
E. Seward, esq., editor of the Coal Tr de
Journal, for a copy of his valuable compi
lation of Coal Trade. Statistics for the year
1875-6. It is, as it purports to be. a com•
pendium of valuable information relative
to coal production, prices, transportation,
etc., at home and abroad, with many facts
worthy of preservation for future reference
corrected to the latest. dates. It is just
the thing for every coal operator.

OPENING OF THE CENTENNIAL
EXHIBITION.
Wednesday last was a proud day for
Philadelphia. It was only e 1 n:111 , , , d, in
historic 4rcatne., by the memorable
Fourth of July, 1776. llow different the
Cireintistanec,4 ! The tii a antionnt•el to
tin few millions who had found their way
to these >bores, the birth of a new nation ;
the latter proclaimed to the millions,
throughout the globe that the first hun
dred years of our national existence is
about to expire, and extending an invita
tion to all to come and compete, in gener
ous and honorable rivalry, with the results of
a century's progress. Yes,the United States,
the youngest of the nations of the earth,
in Philadelphia, where Independence was
first officially proclaimed and recognized
has, by the expenditure of millions, afford
ed an opportunity to the older peoples to
come and witness the material greatness of
all that characterizes our land. On the
Fourth of July, 1776, scarcely three mil
lions people responded to the announce
ment of Old Independence Bell ; on last
Wednesday when President Grant pro
claimed the Exhibition open forty millions of
actual citiiens, in effect, heard the procla
mation and patriotically cheered. If the
contrast is great the practical results of the
century are astounding. But we cannot
stop to enumerate.
Philadelphia put on her cosmopolitan
robes and ignored herself. Her leading
thoroughfares were decorated with untold
numbers of the brilliant banners of all the
nations of the earth. No expense was
spared and the assembled world was grati.
fled and applauded. The day opened sulki
ly, but before nine o'clock the threatening
clouds wore dispersed and the sun came
out brilliantly, grandly. At six o'clock,
A. M., the street cars were loaded down to
their fullest capacity, carrying the large
crowds to the grounds and so it continued
all day long.
At 10:30 the opening ceremonies com.
menced. The platform was erected at the
southern entrance to Memorial Hall and
spanning the space between that building
and the Main Exhibition building. The
choir occupied a platform adjoining the
nave of the latter. Places were reserved
for all the dignitaries present, foreign re
presentatives, senators and representatives
in congress, judges of the supreme court,
members of the Pennsylvania legislature
and of the press, of which we were an ex
ceedingly small fraction. The National
Hymns of the nations represented were
first sung by the choir under the direction
of Theo. Thomas. The music was su
premely grand. After the music came the
eloquent prayer of Bishop Simpson, fol
lowed by the speech of John Welsh, the
chairman of the Board of Finance, pre
senting the buildings to the Centennial
Commissioners and their acceptance by
Gen. Hawley, who, in turn, passed them
over to the President of the United States,
who, in a neat and eloquent address, decla
red them open to the public. Everything
passed off happily and in order. The most
prominent figure upon the stand, occupy
ing the place of honor, was the Emperor
of Brazil.
After the ce.rewonies a procession was
formed, and the invited guests, led by the
President and Dom Pedro, proceeded to
Machinery Hall and started the great
Corliss engine which has a capacity of
1,300 horse-power, and operates eight
miles of shafting with less noise than is
usually made by the average sewing ma
chine.
In the meantime the buildings were all
thrown open and the crowd, greater than
any that has ever assembled in this coun
try before, poured into the great buildings
and gazed and wondered, and gazed until
their senses reeled at the mammoth propor
tions of the Eshibition before them. We
went to Philadelphia expecting to see a mag
nificent display, and we came away, three
days later, utterly overwhelmed. The
thing is too big. There is no end to it.
A week is a drop in the bucket. If the
reader wants to see it all it will take
months, yes, months, and nothing but
months will be satisfactory. It will be a
little expensive but it only comes once
in a lifetime, and better make great, very
great sacrifices, than not see all that is of
it: Do not go until on or after the twen
tieth of June, because, while there is
enough there now to entertain any ordina
ry man six months, yet there is much that
is not ready and will not be for weeks, and
while you are looking at it you may just
as well see all that there will be of it.
No man, woman or child should fail to
see the Exhibition. We hope the railroads
will put dowu the fare to an amount not
exceeding ten or fifteen dollars per day for
the use of cars and haul everybody that
wants to go. It will even then cost too
much, and especially will this be the case
if the Exhibition is oloaed 04 Sunday
Good boarding can be had at boarding
houses for from S 1 to $2.50 per day, with-
in easy distances of the grounds, and the
farmers are arranging for a large number
at the Grange headquarters. Do not fail
to attend, but do not go before the twentieth
of June.
A PHILADELPHIA despatch to the New
York Sunday Herald: "The Exhibition
will ultimately be open on Sunday. The
public sentiment in favor of it grows every
day. It is not alone the thousands of
working men and women who cannot afford
to lose a day's work that join in demand •
ing it, but the liberal minded of all class
es. A large mass meetieg, attended by a
number of ladies and gentlemen of the
highest respectability, was held here this
evening."
Tin Bedford Gazette looks as neat and
trim in its new attire as the newly burn

on the old patent outside arrangement.—
May it never lack prosperity.

The Centennial Grounds Last Sunda
.A. reprosenl lake! of the Sunday I
says: Under the influence of a clear sky
and a hraeing southwest wind, all the RV.3-
nues leading, to the Centennial Grounds
were yesterday thronged at an early hour
with tens of thousands on their way to
the great centre of' attraction. Cars, car
riages, coupes, and in many instances hum
bler means of transportation, were brought,
into requisition, each filled to the utmost
with gay and happy men, women and
children, all bent upon rational enjoyment,
despite the foreknowledge they had that
its chiefest source, an inspection of the in
teriors of the noble buildings, was denied
them. Upon reaching the main entrance
,the stream of humanity debouched to the
right, and flowing northward, encircled
the entire area covered by the buildings,
until it returned to its starting point. Bel
mont, George's Hill, and the Reservoir
were crowded with eager sightseers, who
gave frequent vent to their astonishment
and delight at the immensity of the various
structures and the noble T k rospeet spread
out before .their enraptured eyes. A care
ful calculation made by one capable of
estimating large bodies, places the number
yesterday denied admission to the grounds
at not less than one hundred thousand, the
greater part of whom, it is safe to say,
would gladly have availed themselves of
what is now spoken of as a privilege, but
which is certain to become ere long an un•
doubted right. A. more orderly, well
behaved, and well dressed crowd it would
be impossible to assemble in any other
country than our own, and to this fact is
unmistakably due the absence of disorder,
rowdyism, or drunkenness. On all sides
was evinced the most deep-seated feeling
at the action of the commission in closing
the gates, which, while temperate in lan
guage, could not fail to impress.the repre
sentative of The Press with the fact that
the opening of the gates on Sunday is
merely a questicra of time, and thac a very
short one, if the Exhibition is to be the
financial success our people hope and the
honor of the country demands. Hurried
colloquies with representative men in the
community impressed the writer with the
unanimity of popular sentidient on this
subject, which found expression in various
ways. "If'," said an eminent Protestant
Episcopal divine, noted as well for his deep
piety as for his advanced liberality, "there
be sermons in stones and good iu every
thing,' as I firmly believe, what harm can
there be in opening these beautiful grounds
and buildings to the working classes, who
would assuredly be instructed and edified
by works of seience, art, and religion there
in
displayed ? Can this be as hurtful as
driving the hundreds who are to-day driv-;
en, as you may see, into the numberless
saloons yonder, where, if they do nut drink
to excess, it will be no fault of those who
deprive them of the opportunity of find
ing rational enjoyment in a Christian-like
manner ? I believe in appealing to the
intelligence through the eve, car, and
mind, and not in constraint. If these peo
ple do not desire to attend church, there is
no power to make them ; therefore, the
next best thing, after persuasion has foiled,
is to provide something that will keep
them out of temptation. But," he con
tinued, "pardon me for inflicting a sermon
upon you, who have read so many better
efforts than I can possibly make." Leav
ing our clerical friend, a well-known bank
er was met, who drew attention to the
numbers driving past, and suggested that
there was as much "desecration of the
Sabbath" in rolling around in a carriage
or behind a fast piece of horseflesh as in
feasting the eyes on a beautiful pioture or
a wondrous piece of mechanism. Although
wealthy, he was rather communistic in his
views, and favored the suppression of en
joyment of any kind by the rich so long
as the poor were debarred what they con
sidered their rights. Leaving our Red
,Republican friend, the next person met
was an intelligent, well-to-do mechanic,
who, drawing attention to the crowds, sug
gested that the Centennial Commission
might as well have in pocket the fifty
thousand dollars scattered around among
the human aggregate. He was not op
posed J the closing if—and here comes
in the point of his argument—those who
cannot afford to lose several days' pay and
the price of admission are paid by the
wealthy Sabbatarians who employ them for
such reasonable time as may be devoted to
an inspection. In this connection he
named certain large manufacturers who
could easily do this if they had the will,
and whose establishments would unques
tionably be benefitted by sending details
of men to visit Machinery I-Jall and the
Agricultural Building. A prominent pol
itician was the next to ease his mini to
your representative on the all engrossing
topic, but as his views were substantially
the same as those above noted they need
hardly be repeated. The fact of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company ceasing to run
its cars from the lower part of the city
yesterday was attributed by many to a
variety of' motives. Some thought it was
in diference to the sentiment of the com
mission, while others argued that it was
from lack of popular support. The latter
of these reasons apparently had no founda
tion in fact, for the various stations on
Washington avenue were besieged all day
with would-be ticket buyers. However,
with their reasons we have nothing to do,
but merely record the fact of the suspen
sion of travel by this line, whilo the Read
ing road was crowded all day. Elm and
Belmont avenues presented a lively aspect,
the various ice-cream saloons, beer-houses
and drinking-shops being crowed all the
afternoon, although no signs of intoxica
tion were visible upon those present, which
speaks volumes fur the 'moderation and
self restraint of our' citizens under the dis
advantages of forced exclusion from the
grounds. Whether this will be the ease
next Sunday, if the gates are not unlocked,
is more than we can say, although wo trust
that before that time other counsels will
prevail, ar,d that the multitude will be ad
mitted.
Arrest of an Insane Incendiary.
WILLIAM PORT, May 14.—Last
ing at eight o'clock the city was thrown
into a furore of excitement by the alarm
of fire, and hundreds of people rushed
frantically through the streets in the di
rection of the recent fires on Ilepburn
street. An immense concourse of people
were observed coming down Third street,
near Hepburn.
An excited individual rushing in ad
vance of the dark moving mass, shouting
at the top of bis voice, "They have got
him," and instantly hundreds of people
were rushing up the streets, At West
street the sidewalks and street were one
complete jam of people, pressing anxiously
forward to obtain a look at the villian,
who was being marched down the street
under the protection of a strong guard.
So infuriated were the people that for
a time fears were entertained that the
guards would be overpowered and the prix-
loner lynched. The news spread rapidly,
and upon reaching the jail scores of people
came running up the streetuntil the throng
numbered many hundreds.
Fortunately, the doors were already
open, waiting to receive the prisioner, and

NEW ORLEA Ns, IS.— A New Or
leans Tinics special, dated Summit, Miss.,
May 15, says : Information was received
hey last night of a desparate affray be
tween negroes and whitcia at Laurel 11111,
West Felicina Parish, near the Mississip
pi line. On Frilay night about thirty
negroes went to the store of a white man
in the vicinity, and calling him to the
door, riddled him with bullets. A posse
from Bayou Sara went out on Saturday
for the body, but the negroes would not
give it up. A fight ensued and three ne
groes were killed. Two whites are missing
The negroes are gathering in strong force
Eleven hundred are said to be under arms.
Whites are going down from neighboring
counties iu Mississippi, and a serious fi ! ;lit
is expected. _ _
A.special to the .R•plilde'con from Ida
you Sara, La., dated May 15th, says :
This is what I consider as reliable as to
the result of Saturday night's affrays :
Eight. colored men have been shot dead
and four hanged. About twenty were
wounded. No whites were killed. Per
sons just from the scene report sixty
blacks killed, but this statement I consid
er as exaggerated. Twenty colored men
are reported to be held as prisiouers. Their
fate is uncertain, but the suppnsitinn is
they will be killed. The number of ne
groes killed will ptobably never be ascer
tained, precaution having been taken to
remove the dead secretly. The number of
Regulators under arms is said to be five
hundred. There are squads from East
Baton Rouge and East and West Felicina
and Wilson county, Miss.
The colored people are said to 'be arm
ing in self-defence. On Saturday and
Sunday nights numbers of colored men
crossed to Pointe Coupee to escape those
who are hunting them.
A second dispatch from Bayou Sara, of
the date of May 15, says : There has been
a regular engagement at Laurel Hill be
tween the white and colored men. Three
whites are reported killed. God only
knows when this will end.
The Country is ablaze with excitement.
All the whites are armed and in the sad
dle.

From the Toledo Blade
Specialities in Medicine.
We publish on our eigth page a lengthy
article describing the system of the noted
specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
to which he sets forth with considerable force
and clearness his reasons for devoting his
whole time and attention to a single depart
ment of medicine—the treatment of lingering
chronic diseases. The same article also takes
up the subjects of diagnosis, methods of con
sultation and treatment, etc., the invalid. Dr.
Pierce is the author of a work which has al
ready attained a large circulation—" The Peo
ple's Common Sense Medical .Adviser"—con
taining some nine hundred numerously-illus
trated pages, and devoted to medicine in all
its branches, a work well calculated for the guid
ance and instruction of the people at large,
and which may be had for $1.50 (post-paid)
by addressing the author. Dr. Pierce has now
been before the general public long enough to
enable the following of a careful estimate of
the efficiency , of his treatment and his medi
cines, and the verdict, we are glad to know,
has been universally favorable to both.
