ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE, Washington, January 13. Tho Re
publican national com mitten mot this
moroiug at I 0 o'clock at the Arlington
Hotel, and was called to order by ex
Governor Morgan, of New York. The
committee then heard one member from
each delegation Irora cities asking, that
tho national convention be held at tbo
places they narred. Geucral Garfield
thought that Cleveland could build a
wigwam capable of furnishing all accom
modations Ex-Gov. Noyes, of Ohio,
remarked that the Exposition building
5n Cincinnati would bold filteeu thous
and persons, and that the hotel accomo
dations were ample. Mr. Sherwin
favored Clevcluod, Mr. Jacket thought
no place offered better facilities than
Saratoga within five hundred miles ol
which; said be, 17,000,000 of
our population dwell. Then the battle
of Saratoga, too, he thought was the
key-note of the Revolution. General
Bingham, in behalf of Philadelphia, al
luded to its hotel accommodations lor
50,000 persons, and tu the fact that it
is tho uuly central city to which tickets
will be sold this year by different rail
road companies at excursion rates. He
also clairced that Philadelphia was tho
centre of patriotism, and ho iticideutally
alluded to the Centennial celebration
He was supported by Mr. Snowden.
Judge Cnssy -pointed to the ample ac
0) ntutditiin if OEhingtor, and Mr.
Medll to tha arrangements of the Chica
goaus with the railroad companies lor
tickets at reduced rates, showing eaiy
and cheap access to the city, and abo to
tho Inter State Exliibitiou building
which, he Euid, u iho largest structure
in the country, except, perhaps the
Centennial Main UuiMing. Ex-Governor
Ciflin spoke of the political con
siderations that should induce its hold
ing iu Fnncuil Hall. Mr. Van Hirn
spoke up for St. Louis. Mr Gorham
claimed that as the whole railroad sys
tem of the United States centred a
Omaha, and that the Mechanics' Insti
tute building would seat 15,000 specta
tors, not to speak of the members of
the convention, the latter should by all
means be held iu San Francisco. Then,
too, San Fraucisco is halt way, between
Western Alaska and Eastern Main.
Governor Morgan spoke ot Hamulus'
Hippodrome and tho Opera House iu
New York, and as this was Centeuniai
year, and very many persons would
come to Philadelphia, New York, should
in his opinion have the preference.

It is reported from Washington that
the Southern members of Congress are
tivorably disposed toward the appropri
ation asked for by the Centennial Com
mittee, but that they propose to ak a
price for their support of that measure,
which is no less than that Northern
members shall vote for a general amnesty
bil which shall include the ex rebel
President, Jeffersou Davis. Thus they
propose to quality the chief traitor of
them all for a seat in the Senate, and
endeavor to do so by coupling it on to
the Centennial appropriation bill. Forty
Southern members, it is paid, are united
in pressing this matter.
Tub Oldest Citizen Gone. One
of Clarion county's ccntennurians, Mr.
Alio, departed this life on Wednesday
of last week, at the remarkable age of
one hundred, nd three years. He was
a resident of Farmington township was
of French origin, and came to this
country when young in life. His wife,
who still survives him, is one hundred
and one years old, and bids fair to
reach the age of ker departed husband.
They had lived together in cojugal hup.
piness seventy eight years, and during
the past summer, repeatedly walked a
distance ot four m.les to attend Catholic
services, '.hat being the church of their
choice. Had the deceased lived but a
lew months longer, Clarion county
might have been represented at the
Centennial by prehaps the oldest couple
in the State. Clarion Jacksonian.
Sir John Hawkshaw calculates that
railroads eavo to the publio a greater
sum than they pay to the stockholders
in dividends. This is ascertained by
comparing the cost of railway transpor
tation with that of wagon transport, and
is exclusive of the advnutage in poiut of
time. If the saving in time could be
valued, he thinks that the saving would
be found to amount in Euglaod to ten
per cent, yearly on the cost of the roads
It is in this way that railroads add to
the national wealth. On this basis of
calculation the government of Brazil
has decided to guarantee seven per cent
on roads that earn four per cent. Coi
suleriug that in, a generation and a half
160,000 miles of railroad hove been
built in the world, and that fhe value
may be estimated at 5100,000 a mile,
we have a total capital ot 810,000,000,
upon which, according to Sir John
Hawkshaw's computation, the world
realizes ten per cent, yearly as an addi
tion to its wealth.
