The publishers of Harper' Journal
f Cu-iUatio (!) often set themselves
tip standards of propriety in mat
ters of civilisation religion, politics
and business. But their supplement
of the 5th of Juno, in defence ol the
guy and festive Ileocher "takes
the rug off the bush." In tho issue
in question tho Plymouth preacher is
more ably defended than by any ot
his attornovB, and it seems it was ar
ranged somehow or other that each
juror received from one to five copies
of this defence so as to post themselves
during the progress of tho trial. A
grosser contempt was novcr jierpolra
ted by any newspaper publisher on
this continent, If anywhero el6.' Sup
pose the editor of the Hr.i'Uiu.H AS
wore to perpetrate a wicked act ol the
kind by publishing an elaborate de
fence of a criminal on trial, and by
some mean dovico put a copy of his
paper into the hands of each juror du
ring the progress of the trial ?
Would it not be a case of first class
contempt, and would it not be tho du
ty of tho court so to treat it ? But
we presume tho Harpers stand so high
in tho estimation of Plymouth moral
ists that no court can reach or disturb
them no Jmatter how enntemptuons
their conduct. Pretty clvillters

to the progress and present status of
tho preparations for tho coming Cen

the outset that they are procooaing in
this work by tho authority and aocord
intr to the laws of Coiiiress. it some
times happen that the managors of
the Centennial worn aro looaea upon
as the representatives of some self-con
stituted association, and as exercising
unlimited discretion and promotingtho
interests of sonic civc locality; where
as they aro in truth acting undor the
laws representing the Unitod States,
and endeavoring to promoto an under

of tho people. 1 mean by this thnt the
government, having provided for tho
celebration of the centennial anniver

ence by means of on international ex

represented and take part in tho cere

hereafter from participating in similar
ceremonies in any foreign country. To
show tho government Is Involved in
tho result of this undertaking, it is only
nccossnry to remark that tlio law of
1871, not only provides lor tno man
agement of Ibo celebration, but declares
in terms that "the ceremonies shall bo
conducted under the auspices ol tho
government of tho United State ;" and
that ot June, lai l, expressly request
Ike President to "oxtend a cordial in
vitation to foreign nations, to bo rep
resented and take part in tho Interna
tional exhibition." It Is therefore seen,
gentlemen, thnt w hat rcnmlns to be
accomplished is not only a work ol pat
riotism and a means of honoring tho
memory of the brave patriotic men w ho
founded the republic, but it involve ques
tion p candor, truth, and manhood,
between ourselves and the governments
and peoples ot other countries. Jn
any undertaking Involving issue so
delicnto and so associated with the
honor of tho government, tho Amori
ean people cannot bo restrained by
ordinary considerations. It may bo
difficult to secure capital, but if we fail
to accomplish what wo have told all
tho world wo have intended to do, we
shall make a sacrino above tho valuo
ot money. The plea of poverty or in
ability will not be accepted by tho
world. Th American people ar too
well understood to avail themselves of
such a pretext 1 hcir repntation for

would enable them to complete thtir

The practical question Dofor yoo
then is. gentleman, what amount of

that be best obtained 1 Thus far tho

and privileges to be sold, and the value
of the materials at the closo of tbe ex

sum of $3,t 10,000. Four millions and
a quarter in stock, in addition, will
mako up the total capital ; so that the
total receipts for admission will bo ap

ate sum. Any ono can sou that tho
presence of 3,000,000 persons, oiiterinir

and so ono million and half would
redeem filly per cent of it ; but this is

Tun VnwniTTi!!" Law Hi'Mmhs.
Some of the paper aro very severe on
Grant because, in tbe third-turm mat
ter, he, like Andy Johnson, appealed
to tho Constitution, and ridiculed the
idea of an "unwritten law" on the sub
ject. To us it appears that Grant in!
this is exactly right, and his critics ex
actly wrong. Tlio Constitution after
ull is a pretty good thing to appeal to,
and the weakest part of Andy John
son's record was by no moans bis ref
erence to that instrument. "Unwrit
ten law" Is a fine phrase, but it is very
Frencby, magnificent but vague. It
means anything or nothing, according
to tho commentator. It won't do to
