Tk Hew Orleaas Exposition.
Before another month the World's Ex
fosttten t New Orleans will bt
ander fall headway, and for these in
this section of the country who desire te
m fielr manufactures and products ex
hibited in competition with the best the
ebe affords, there remains but little
time. It Is Interesting te note the up
ward and onward progress of this expo
Itlen from Its Inception. It wasat first
Intended as a state exhibition ; but In
ensibly, bs the Idea seemed popular, It
was determined te make of it a splendid
representation of the progress of the
Seuth since the war. Frem that time the
enterprise ceased te be local and became
aatlenal in its scope. And when the
Central and Seuth American countries
began te cooperate for a representative
display, at once the nations of Europe,
eager te protect their trade in that di
rection, determined te take a hand in it
and thus it became from a local a
world's exposition.
It is impossible te forecast the advan
tapes that will accrue te the country,
and te the new Seuth in particular,
from the concentration for six months of
much of the great business Impulses of
the world In the chief Southern com
mercial city. Many exhibitions nave
bet et of ere been held in cities, the cen
tres of vigorous trade that scarcely
neaded a sUmulus te Increased activity,
yet the benefits flowing from them have
been most marked. What then must
be the remit where an exposition takes
place among a people whose commercial
activity still feels the wounds of a
sectional war, and whose business
structure it was necessary te build
almost anew since the dark days of
1861?
The national government has done
wisely and well in its appropriation of
1,000 000 te this exposition, and the
money will be returned in blessings te
the country a thousand fold. And these
who have given the best portions of their
life te the study et the negre problem
must frel gladdened at the excellent op
portunity "lven the colored race by the
managers of the enterprise te show the
progress they have made since their en
franchisement. There will be much
there te enchain the attention of all pa
triotic Americans, but. the paramount
blessing that will descend with this
gathering of the national and the
World's forces en Southern soil will be
the rubbing away of the lingering ani
mosities of the war. It will be the
healing balm that will drive from the
national sysem the f ectlenal disease. It
will date the beginning of a new life for
the nation that will be te the old as day
te night. It will join in one grand fra
ternal brotherhood all the states of the
Union from Maine te Texas, from
Oregon te Flerida, and In solid phalanx
they will move en as one te new and
Pnreful conquests In the world of com-
sarea.

The Centurions of Philadelphia.
The Committee of One Hundred, of
Fhiltidelphla, has Issued a report of Its
work during the past four years. It
refers te the exposure of the criminality
of the Gas Trust In recklessly squander
ing nearly $3 600 000 of the city tuuda ;
the reorganization of the water dernrt
nient with improved discipline and a
saving of $281 600 ; the reduction of
$20 000 in the salaries of certain county
elilcers ; the restoration of discipline in
the police department and the securing
of the conviction of nearly COO perpetra
ters of election funds ; the abolition of
the delinquent tax office nod the repeal
of the Infamous recorder's bill ; the
removal of many abuses in ether of the
city departm-nts and the reform In the
management of the Bleckley almshouse.
It is Indeed a record of which the Cen.
turiens have n right te be proud. They
were most bitterly assailed by the con
federated ringaters who were preying en
the city, but they never flinched In their
determination te unearth the racaiity
In the departments which all knew te
xlt. They gave freely of their means
and looked for no reward save that which
the conscientiousness of doing right
afforded. Their existence was a standing
menace te every political wreug deer In
the city, and none would rejoice mere
than these if the organization ceased its
existence. Though the Bepubllcan ring
has regained much of its lest ground, It
Is less bold and unscrupulous, having
fresh In Its memory the recollection of
some very severe thrashings administered
by the Committee of One Hundred. The
committee should maintain its organiza
tion. It has done a vast ameuut of geed
and Its possibilities for the future should
net be caielesaly thrown aside. Let It
remain, ai It has been, the bulwark of
the QnakerClty against the confederated
Bepubllcan jobbers who, unchecked,
may bring the municipality Inte tee close
contact with the hopeless morass of
Insolvency.
Few people are aware of the system
with which some people seek wives. In
the metropolitan papers one see3 con
tinual matrimonial offers, all described
te be unexceptionable in kind, but he
usually passes them ever carelessly as
emanations from the different species of
the genus crank. Yet there are many
of these applications for a helpmeet,
which If ex-named would be found te
have been made in geed fatth. There
is mere of this kind of preslsteucy in
England and en the continent than in
the United S.ates, and the English will
go further te secure a goodly dowered
bride thn the peer and proud French
aebies. It is tee suggestive of barter
and sale te take much of a held en the
American fmicy.
Mb Blaihb is said te have made en the
first volume of his work, "Twenty Years
In Cetigress" from $00,000 te $66,000, and
it is alleged that his campaign contribu
tion te the "grand old party" amounted
te 150,000. It Is, therefore, net se very
surprising that bla ambitious soul was
Very eeveiely wrenched when he found

of both calamities would have Oiled any
man witu deep regret, but it is ex
tremely doubtful whether the poignancy
of grief in any ether public personage
would have carried him te the extent
that Mr. Blaine ha gene. His reviling
of the Seuth, had it net been deliberately
prepared, might have beeu attribute! te
a sudden outburst of passion. But its
premeditation seems te show that it whs
the simultaneously ripened fruit et de
feated ambition and money wasted. If
the state of mind In which Mr. Blaine
conceived the sentiments he expressed In
his Augusta speech is his normal mental
attitude, he is much te be pitied.

many empleyes from voting. The
charge is specifically made in reference
te the New Yerk postefflce. Uatten
rises in his own defense te say that
tiere Is no law authorizing the
closing of the postefllces during
election day, and that he believed
the iKWtrnaster at New Yerk might
arrange te allow his empleyes te vote
without seriously interfering with the
business of the office. He Is undoubtedly
right, and these who called upon him te
give the clerks a holiday en Nev. 4
wished te have their services at the
polls, and net merely their votes. Wh.it
ever the spirit that actuated Mr. Hat
ten, whether a desire te de right or a
wish te deliver a stinger te Mr. limine,
bis course must be commended as the
only one that his situation legally and
properly permitted.
The grand jury in Its report presented
te the court animadverts, as have all
grand Juries In the recollection of the
eldest inhabitants, en the practice in
vgue among aldermen and justices of
the peacoef multiplying charges without
necessity and the wasting of the court's
valuable time in trivial cases that should
never have required the court's luterven
tlen. Grand juries come and go, all
making the same criticism that fulls en
dumb ears. The only remedy the people
have, apparently, is te in irk thu rascals
guilty of this kind of work, for defeat
when they ask for reelection.

The grand inquest of tbe commonwealth

into and for tbe oeunty of Laneaster at
the November sessions of 1831, respectfully
reports, that in accordance with tbe In In In
struotien of the oeurt, it has attended te
that duty.
Tbe distriet attorney submitted te our
consideration 123 mdietments of whleh
103 were reiwrttd as true bills and 23 were
Ignored. Tbe grand inquest is glad te say
that but few indietments for crimes of a
high grade were submitted te it. It
regrets te add tbat tbe oustem of preferr

of a single arrest, when they might be

se trilling In its oharaeter that a simple
complaint ledged with a oenstablo would
have been sufficient te abate the uuisaues
complained of, was returned by the alder.
man, witu tue names et eighteen persons
as witnesses. 1 he grand Intiuest doslres te
eensure aud doneuuoo in the most emphatic
manner this disreputable praotleo et mul
tiplying busiuess and duplicating feos. It
desires, further, te oxpress the opinion
that ir the magistrates were te return only
legitimate cases te tbn court, fully one eno ene
third of the business that oneurabors the
doeket fiem term te term would disappear,
lessening tbe labors of the oeurt and
saving thousands of dollars te the tax
payers. Inpursuance of Its duties the grand
Inquest visited tbe oeunty prlseu, through
whleh It was shown by Keepor Burkhelder.
The crowded oeudltlcn of the jail was
mauirest. Thore are 80 oells In all, but
some being uuflt for oceupanoy, and ethers
being required for store and working
rooms, only 72 ean be used for the roten
tlen of prisoners. Thore are 123 of the
latter new in the building ; 20 of these
senteneed toseparatooontluement ; the rest
are orewded iute oells as olreimstanees will
allow. Exporlence has shown that tbe best
results are obtained when prisoners are
oenflned separately. This is Impossible in
the oeunty jail. More room Is an abselute
necessity. This ean be scoured by making
auuiuenn vi tne present structure or by
tbe oreotlon of a new and larger oue. Iu vlew
of the present dilapidated oendltlou of the
Jail, the defective system of beating, light
ing and ventilation, te say nothing of the
insecure cells and houey-eorubed floors
and walls, the grand Inquest Is uuanl
meusly of the opinion that a new prison Is
one of tbe erylng needs of the hour. Much
money has been snent Iu trvlns te renalr
and keep up the present struoture, but It
gets worse rrem tiny te day, and a new
building is a mere question of a few years
at most. The prcseut slte is valuable and
oeuld be sold at a geed price. Tbe oeunty
has plenty of land en the ether slde of the
street en which a new jail oeuld be built.
Dummers uan " was visited. Only nine
inmates were there, consequently It did
net present the disgraceful scenes se often
seeu there. liener seems posalble only
through the building of a new heuse or
room. We sre of the opinion the money
required te de this oeuld mere profitably
be spent en anew jail, where hotter quar
ters for this unfortunate elass oeuld be
provided. If this class of offenders wero
mero frequently sent te tbe public build
ing en tbe ether side of the street and set
te breaking stones, the present evil would
in part be remedied. The filthy condition
of this room and Its Inmates is se well
known that it Is useless te enlarge en this
subjeet new. We knew hew difficult it is
te keep sueh people clean, but we suggest
that if these sent there were compelled te
remove their own olethes and put en tbe
prison dress while they remained, and
theso with the longest terms te serve were
mere frequently oempelled te thoroughly
scrub and cleanse the room, It might be
made mere oemfortablo and freer of vor
mln. The new well dug at tbe jail gives
complete satisfaction and will result in a
large saving te the county. Much credit
is due theso through whose efforts the
project was carried forward. We bag
leave te dlreet the attention of the oeurt
and the proper oeunty authorities te the
project of establishing a cas plant at the
several publie buildings, being satisfied a
large saving would result te the oeuuty
therefrem. The productlve capacity of
me jau uaa peen greatly incresscu or late.
The earpet looms have been inereased from
seven te fifteen. During tbe first eleven
months of tbe present year, 14,000 yards of
earpet nave Deeu made ler sale, besides
2,000 yards for private parties.
This department labors under the dis
advantage of having most of the long term
prisoners sent away, while the short term
ones remain. By tbe time tbey loam
enough te make their labor profitable they
are discharged. The discipline and gen.
eral management of the prison appears te
be excellent and Keeper Burkhelder evi
dently nas tne institution well in hand.
The oeunty almshuuse was visited and
every department from eellar te attic in
speet'd. The grand inquest finds pleasure
iu expressing Us satisfaction with all it
saw. Order, cleanliness, and system
seemed te prevail everywbere : this most
worthy institution does tbe ceuntv honor.
no less through its managment than in its
completeness with whleh it answers the
purposes for whleh It was Intended. The
inmates at present are 1S4 men ; 70
women ; 8 male and 0 female children, a
total of S41. Here, as at tbe prison, the
laoer or vne aoie-nedioa inmates is largsly
employed, lessening tbe cost of mainton mainten mainton
anee very considerably. Steward Broek
deserves credit for his carefully systoma systema
tired management.
Tbe hospital, under the obarge of Dr.
siaeureary, tne resident physieian, was
visited and every ward inspected. The
unfortunates knpt here seem te be hu-
manly eared for. and tbe svstem of
discipline adopted seems te be well calcu
lated te promote the welfare and oemfort
of the inmates. Through the efforts of
Ur. MaeCreary, tbe oerridors have been
adorned with prints and pletnres whleh
exercise a happy lnlluenoe upon the resi
dents. The number of inmates at present
is 63 in the hospital department proper; 81
in the insane department, of which 35 ate
males and 40 females, and 20 in the oolor eolor oelor
ed department, a total of 109.
The ether noble charity of the county,
the Cblldran's Heme, was also visited.
Here 104 children of various ages were
found, of whom 84 were boys and 24 girls.
It Is net easy te oenoaivo of a mere happy
and oentontod family than the matron, Mrs.
Hamaker, has in charge. Their oemfort
and well being seems te ba Btudled
throughout, and we feel assured the same
excellent results that have se far marked
the career of this home will be felt under
her future management. Cleanliness pre.
vails In every department aed there is net
a single case of slokeess. The soheol room
seems oveierowded and tbe oemfort of
the little ones, who study there, demands
its enlargement.
The grand inqieit tenders its thanks te
the honorable e urt through whose lumln-

After working at it for some tlme without
