Pennsylvania's Approaching DI-CuteenbLL celcuraueii. The year 1SS2 will complete the second century since the founding of et com monwealth by William Pcnn ; and it being desirable te adept measures at once te se cure a proper celebration of this event, an association has been organized for this purpose under the title of Tlie lit-Ccntcnnlal Association et Pennsyl vania, And citizens of every part of the com monwealth are cordially invited te become members of it, and te aid in the effort te show te the people of the whole country what Pennsylvania and Philadelphia new arc, and the pi egress which they have .made in the two centuries of their exist ence. ! In days past, all public demonstrations intended te commemorate great, events in the history of a community were of a mili tary or a religious character ; mere recent ly it lias been deemed becoming te, ex hibit the progress which has been made in these arts which tend te promote the in telligcnce, convenience, comfort and re iinciueut of the people ; and such an exhi bition is most appropriate when the ob servance is intended te honor the memory oft hose who composed the little colony which, " by deeds of peace," laid the foun dation of a prosperous commonwealth and established, for thclirsttimein the world's hihtery, real freedom of opinion and wor ship ; net the toleration which, in former times, as a favor, permitted men te enjoy' their views and faith, but the right te free dom of theui'ht and religious ceremonies, as a civil principle. The success of the magnificent exposi tion which was the chief feature iti our celebration of the Centennial of American Independence, gives assurance that the citizens of our state can inake an uu eiptalcd display of the invenlive talent, the skill ami industry, which have placed us in the front rank of civilizatier, and enabled us te offer the attractions, and provide the many things needed te afford gratification te these who will visit Phil adelphia, te ehscivc, or te take part in the festivities. It has the grandest park owned by any city en our continent ; its magnificent drives, its licaulifnl lawns, its primitive sylvan shades, se grateful in the heat of summer, its pleasant variety of hill and dale, its imposing aud capacious palace of industry, its interesting Zoologi cal gatdcn and Memerial hall with its treasures of art, the elegant Horticul tural hall with its instructive display of rare plants, the spacious grounds for ath letic and equestrian sports, the romantic Schuylkill, affording the most, desirable facilities for beating contests, and the many artistic adornments of our great pleasure ground, make it the most de lightful place of recreation iu this coun try. The city also has many institutions of a scientific, literary and artistic char acter, of great interest te all intelligent people ; aud it is well supplied with every desirable luxury. It is the purpose of the Ii-Centennial association te show what has been accom accem nlishcd in Pennsylvania during the two hundred years which have clapped 1 since William Pcnn landed en the shores of the Delaware ; the gradual progress of the arts which pro mote the comfort, happiness and elevation of men, in the earlier part of this period, and the astonishing advancement of later years in the cultivation of the sciences and the polite arts, and in mechanical inven tions. It is proposed te show : 1. The splendid progress made iu marine aichitcclurc upon the Delaware river, from the little ship Welcome, of Win. Penn among the Indians canoes, te the armored war ships, and magnificent merchant .steamers, launched from our ship-yards. 2. The means of land transportation and travel, from the days of the pack-horse and feet peddler, te the present, when comfortable trains, with luxurious parlor cars, move with the velocity of the wind ever the iron rails. 3. The improvement in railroad, con strnctien and in locomotives, from the "Switch-back" at Manch Chunk the first American railway te the stcel.tracks which mark the rugged mountain heights and stretch across the plains ; from the little meter which first drew a train of two or three coaches te Gcrmantewn "in fair weather," te the great engines which new thunder ever hills and plains and through the valleys of our state, arc manufactured here and sent te climb the Andes of Seuth America, and traverse the frigid regions of liussia aud the geldcu districts. 4. The invention and production of the myriad forms of machinery, which have in se wonderful a manner mitigated and fa cilitated human labor, and brought many comforts, conveniences and refinements within the reach of the humblest people, and adorned the mansions of the attlu- cnt. 5. The improvements in tcxtile fabrics, from the time when spinning-wheels and hand looms were iu every dwelling, te the present, when thousands of substantial and commodious factories pour forth the goods which clothe and adorn the persons of our own people and these of distant parts of the world. 5. AVhat has been accomplished in every department of industry and art; in the advancement of science and education, ag riculture, horticulture, mining, architec ture, typography, civil engineering and the establishment of institutions for the promotion of intellectual, moral and social culture. 7. The recreations, amusements aud athletic sports of the people, and compari son with theso of ether countries ; and, by imposing pageants and tableaux, te pre -scut the great events of our history. The association which has been formed, will carefully consider every suggestion which may be made with a view te increasing the attractions of the city, and opening communication with organizations and persons in every part of the state and vicinity. Jn order te arotise the people te an apprecia tion of the occasion we propose te cele brate, a Ui-Centennial club in every town and village is desired. Pennsylvania, the youngest of the "thirteen" colenics which united te achieve independence, is new the second state of the federal -union in population, yet first in the development of material resources, the first te open a highway xte the Ohie, first in productive industries, and first te construct an "iron way," whieh furnishes fne.1 toether states, power te drive their machinery, and give light te distant nations. Ilcr career was begun by a treaty with the unlettered aborigines, which "was net scaled by an oath and was never broken." Here was the home of Uenjamin Franklin, Oliver tvans, Kit Kit tenheusc, Benjamin West, .Antheny Wayne, Kebt. Alerris, Benjamin Rush, Francis Ilopkmsen, uirartt, jucrriCK, Baldwin, and a host of heroes, statesmen, mci chants and mechanics, whose names have beceme illustrious throughout the world. Pennsylvania's history excites an honorable pride in the besom of every citizen, and a desire te de honor te its founder. Philadelphia, with one exception the youngest of the great cities of the Atlan tic slope, aud new second in population, but first in extent and capability of ex pansien, is the great centre of in dustrial enterprise, the "City of Hemes, " long famous for the health and prosperity of its inhabitants, whose scientific and educational institu tions have a reputation throughout the werldl Here the first" Congress of our rc ptfblic assembled. Here the Declaration of Independence was uttered. Here the con stitution of the United States was adopted. Here Washington's farewell .address was delivered. Here Franklin, .discovered the identity of electricity and lightning, God frey contrived the nautical quadrant, and Dr. Hare invented the oxyhydregen blew pipe. Philadelphia has taken the lead in :stcainsliip construction en this side of the ocean, aud has the only line of steamers trailing iu .rjurepc wmcu carries tiie American flag ; and her history is suffic iently rich iu events Which- mark the pro gress of enlightenment, te arouse an earn est feeling of patriotism in the heart of every Pennsylvanian. The year 1882 is also the one Hundred aud fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Washington ; and inasmuch as his history is intimately ceuncctcd with that of Penn sylvania, it will be most proper te cele brate it at the same time. Western Pennsylvania, especially the vicinity of Pittsburgh, was the scene of , tliu.se events iu the earlier pari of the ca reer of Washington which. gave him a na tional reputation, and at a later period satisfied the members of the. Continental Congress that he was the proper jerseii te take command of the military forces of the united colenics ; and the present genera lien of citizens of that part of our com monwealth will undoubtedly i'ecl an honor able pride in commemorating the Scsqui Centcnnial year of his birth. During the war of independence the most trying incidents of the great struggle which exhibited the devotion aud mag uanimity of the cemmandcr-iu-chicf iu a manner which excited the admiration of all generous minds transpired in Pennsyl- vania. Ucrmantewn, Branuywinc and Valley ionre are ainen; the most chcr- ished names in our history. Washington's administration was pxsscd iu Philadelphia aud in it he aided in forming the organic law which constituted our union. Wc may, therefore, with justice claim that Pennsylvania has as great a share in the glory of the " Father of his Country " as h.is his native state. The Bi-Ccntennial association is labor ing strenuously, with the co-operation of the state and municipal authorities, te provide an imjiesing celebration for the two hundredth anniversary of the found ing of Pennsylvania by William Fenn, in the year 18t?2. The first grand public demonstration preparatory le the celebra tion will be made en the fourth of July, next (1831), in the Centenni.il building, Fairmont park, Philadelphia. This will be a great state mass meeting of citizens, and will comprise, many sources of popu lar enjoyment. There will be eloquent addresses by distinguished orators ; mnsic by an immense combination erchuafcrs, which will perform, among ethr "pieces, the new Bi-Ccntciinial grand march, specially composed for this, occasion m by . ifrer: nrfHreyer tiie-univcrstty or renn sylyania ; drill aud dress parade by the military ; vocal and instrumental concert, aud ether holiday amusements. The whole day will be observed as a grand festival at the Centennial building, with magnificent and varied entertainments, and doubtless, there will be ever 100,000 pcople within the building during the day. . i m All Ha! Mr. Jehn Sherman! it,' t Yen That iet it New Oucrr Works CimUiip- te Light. Correspondence Hurtterd Times. The developments of the investigations new going ou arc far from complimentary te Mr. Jehn Sherman. It is new rendered clear that this financier has many of the weaknesses of common pcople. He has liked te get things without paying for them. In the enquiry which is new being made into the affairs of Pitney the custo dian of the treasury department, it has been shown that much of the hard-weed work in Sherman's new house en K street was done by men whose names were ear ned ou the treasury rolls ; that a quantity of the best furniture iu his hottse was made at the cxpense of the department by the upholsterer employed by the gov ernment 7 aud that his silver ice-pitchers, and lets et ether thing.-, came in the same way. The same state of things exists in Mr. Pitney's house ; as also in that of Mr. Upton, the assistant secretary, and in the house of Lamphcrc, the ap- peintment clerk. Barrels of bay mm, pcrlumery, ana toilet waters, nave neon used by favorite clerks and charged as deodorized alcohol, glue, varnish, etc. Thousands or yards of new carpets have found their way from the store room of the department te,4 the parlors and bed rooms et me principal uinciais ei uiu trea sury. Favored women have had their sal aries sent them withens rendering serv ices ; and the whole, department seems te have been run corruptly and dishonestly. The investigation is net ene-third through. Gen. E. W. Wluttaker, who at euc time was postmaster at Hartferd, is likely te get Pitney's place. His appoint ment is urged by Senater Hawley, .Tudson Chili Bloody Shirt Kilpatriek, and ethers. Lampliure, the appointment clerk, Up ton, the assistant secretary, and several of the clerks in the sixth auditor's, are also undergoing an investigation for crooked ness in forcing a book known as the "United StatesGovernmcnt,"on employees of the treasury and postetlicu departments. The book is a let of nonsense aud statistics jumbled together by government clerks, the preface being written ey iampiicre himself. The preface is where the fun comes in. Net a single sentence in it is grammatical, and the whele shows a sur prising ignorance, which can hardly be believed. The combination scut it te cus tom houses, postefficcs, 'United States minta, etc., $2 per copy being charged. The scheme has been going en for seme time, but it was kept quiet until new. All the parties concerned in it are likely te be removed. Seme of the treasury-made furniture get into Secretary Evarts's hottse. Besides this, there are any quantity of bronzes, candlesticks and ether ornaments about, Which were made by workmen in the navy yard. It is also charged that the plans for Pitney's and Sherman's houses, his rows which he rented out, as well as his private residence, were prepared in the treasury architect's office. Couple all these with the. crookedness in the Indian office and tlic star route, and Hayes's administration shows up as black as in the loesest.days of Grantism. Since se many big people are caught, the chances aie that the hushing up process will be put in operation, and then the usual vindicatory reports will be made. 'Bem Church" Members."

Wayliinijteii Dispatch te riiilailclnhiii Times Rumer has it that President Garfield is personally concerned in a little financial operation wliile a visiting statesman in Louisiana that will net bear the closest iu-c vestigatien. The statement is that Gar field was approached while a member of the Heuse en the strength of his reputation in the Credit Mebilier aud paving-ring matter, and requested te act as cennsel in getting certain goods out of bend. The man who approached him was the agent of heavy importers who were caught iu a snap. There was a large amount of money involved. The fee offered for the in llucnce was $25,000. Half of this was tendered by the agent for Garfield's assistance. The latter replied that he he had net the influence te get the seized goods liberated. Anticipating this, a plan was then unfolded te him whereby he could command this influence This was te permit himself te be, appointed as one of the visiting statesmen then made up for the Seuth, and as such lib would acquire an artificial inflttenee. Ne sooner said than it was done. The goods were released and Congressman Garfield came North with a draft in his fa vor, indorsed by himself, for $12,500. This draft subsequently fell into the hands of a man named Boyington, new a reputed member of the "chum" cabinet. This gentleman is new in this city, and is mere familiarly known as Poker' Boyington. The "ethers te whom the matter is said te be known are ex Senater Pomeroy of Kansas, and a St. Leuis man here, who stated te-day .te your correspondent that he had personally seen the same draft. It is whispered there is another of the visiting statesmen involved in the same transaction. A Voice In tNe Wilieraess Mf. Jey Herald. There is no better class of citizens nor mera intelligent than -the Republicans outside of political ringsters. But these latter are berinnui'toering rtisgrace te the party, and the great shame is that the worst effort at counting votes by even the heads of the former rings, is called "re form. " The honest voters by this time evidently see what this great reform means. Unfortunately many of them are se discouraged and disgusted they feel like giving up all efforts at having the honest votes cast at our primaries properly ap plied. The geed citizens must, however, net abandon the ship ; but they should new understand that a reform with .these at its head who most need reforming, will net succeed.
