The Question or Selling Liquor at the
Centennial.
The Philadelphia North American 3ays
the discussion by the Centennial Com
mission in relation to the question of
selling liquors within the enclosure re
veals a degree of narrow bigotry that is
surprising. Apart from the utter ab
surdity of attempting at this late day to
entirely change the privilege for which
thousands of dollars have already been
paid to the Board of Finanoe, and in the
provision for the exercise of which many
other thousands have been spent in the
erection of handsome buildings by the
people who have bought restaurant con
cessions, it must strike the liberal public
as a fanatical attempt to turn a great In
ternational Exposition into a temperance
show.
We suspect that mercenary and not
philanthropic considerations are at the
bottom of this matter. By the regula
tions of the managers visitors are required
to pay fifty cents every time they enter
the exposition grounds, if it should be
ten times in the same day. If liquors
were allowed to be sold on the grounds
the thirsty would not be obliged to pay
an additional entrance fee every time
they left the grounds to obtain refresh
ments at the neighboring restaurants.
The weather is exceedingly oppressive in
the latitude of Philadelphia in the months
of July and August, rendering the use of
Btimulants, in the estimation of many
persons, almost a necessity. The Com
missioners shrewdly calculated that a
large portion of the visitors to the show,
in the exuberance of their patriotic
enthusiasm, will require several drinks in
the course of the day, and, as they will
have to pay fifty cents at the turn-stile
every time they re-enter the grounds,
the temperance regulations by which
drinking saloons are exoluded cannot fail
to greatly increase their revenue from
the entrance fees.
A dispatch received since the above
was in type makes the important an
nouncement that the question of pro
hibiting the sale of liquors within the
Centennial grounds has been indefinitely
postponed, the lawyers having given it as
their opinion that the revocation of con
tracts for the sale of liquors would sub -
ject the commissioners to damages.
There will, therefore, be no scarcity ef
cocktails and juleps at the grand national
jamboree. The purchasers of restaurant
privileges will do a lively business inside
the enclosure, and the receipts for ad-
tnission will be largely diminished.
Going to the Faib.—A Washington
dispatch says : “ Invitations have been
86nt to the President and the Cabinet
and the two Houses of Congress to attend
the opening ceremonies on the 10th inst.,
but as m provision is made to pay the
expenses those who go will have to pay
their own bills. ■ The President and his
party will be all right as the railroads
will furnish him transportation, and his
personal admirers in Philadelphia will
give him house-room. But with mem
bers of Congress it is different, and they
have been in a quandary what to do about
it. But with true Congressional inge
nuity a method was devised to day by
which the expenses will be saddled upon
the Treasury. A motion will be made
in the House to accept the invitation,
and for a joint committee to be appointed
to make the arrangements. This will
give the necessary official character to
the affair, and the expenses will be paid
from the public funds.”
By our Washington dispatch it will be
seen that the ‘-ingenious” Congressional
programme is to be carried out. Con
gress has voted to adjourn from the 9th
to the 12th, and the President, Cabinet
and all hands are to have a three days
Centennial frolic. Isn’t this a glorious
oountry for those who have plenty of
money, or have it in their power to ap
propriate the people's money to pay the
expenses of their patriotic jollifications?
A New York “Stirabout” figures up Jay
Gould’s investment in the New York Tri
bune at $1,000,000, and the annual loss
of the concern on property and publica
tion at from $100,000 to $200,000. At
the head of the editorial column of the
Tribune stands the legend, “Founded by
Horace Greeley;” at the tail, if this thing
continues, the inscription, ‘‘Foundered
fey Whitelaw Keid,” will be appropriate.
The Executive Committee of the
Young Men’s Christian Associations of
the United States and British Provinces
have issued an announcement that the
twenty-first annual convention of the so
cieties will be held in Toronto, Canada,
commencing July 12, 1876, and continu
ing five days.
The report of Gen. Q. A. Gilmore, read
in the Senate yesterday, strenuously urges
improvements in Cumberland Sound and
the deepening of the inside passage lead

Simon’s Sound.
The Baltimore Gazette says : New York
seems to be a sort of Presidential hot
bed. For twelve years it has been giving
candidates to the Democracy, and now it
wanta to try it again.
The naval appropriations bill, as re
ported to the House yesterday, and as it
will doubtless be passed, provides for the

The Hawaiian Tbeatv.—The rice
planter,! and dealers of the South have
sent a petition to the United States Sen
ate prayiDg for the rejection of the
Hawaiian treaty, by which rice from the
Sandwich Islands would be admitted free
of duty. The petition sets forth that
1,200 planters are engaged in rice culture
at the South. The annual crop is valued
at $3,000,000, developing general busi
ness, including banking, to the amount
of $10,000,000; that 30,000 laborers fire
employed; that a large area of Southern
lands is suitable for no other purpose
than rice culture.
The sugar planters join in the petition,
and stale that the effect of admitting
Hawaiian sugar free would be greatly det
rimental to tbeir interests. The peti
tioners, therefore, request that all refer
ence to sugar and rice in the treaty be
erased.
The fugitive slaves of ante-bellum days
want to return to their old home-places
in the United States from Canada, and
desire a modification of certain Congres
sional enactments allowing them to bring
their property. They have accumulated
farms and shekels and cows and things,
but there is no place like home. The St.
Louis Republican says the aspects of the
case have a strong dash of pathos and at
the same time they recall to memory hu
morously the old nursery rhyme of “Lit
tle Bo Peep, she lost her sheep and didn’t
know where to find 'em ; but let ’em
alone and they’ll come home and bring
their tails behind ’em.”
Silver Payment Gives no Relief to the
Country.
Notwithstanding the steady pouring
out of the new silver ooins in the differ
ent cities by the government there is a
continued professed want of small change
in retail trade circles. This, says the
Baltimore Sun, an advocate of the con
traction financial policy, “cannot arise
from anything else than an absurd indis
position among people to part with the
small coins as well as the fractional cur
rency with which they may be obtained—
all of which results in the community
inflicting unnecessary inconvenience
upon itself. Let the coins be
passed from band to hand freely,
as was the paper fractional cur
rency previous to their issue, and there
will be no trouble in the matter. In
Philadelphia it appears the silver is de
manding from two to four per cent, pre
mium. This premium will induce hoard
ing, or make everybody who has change
want the premium, instead of paying it
out freely, as they should. This is very
bad and all in the wrong direction. It is
now a matter of first importance that the
government authorities should hurry out
the small currency and make it as speed
ily as possible so plenty that it cannot
command a premium.”
This may be, as the Sun says, very
bad and all in the wrong direction. But
after all is it aqy worse for the poor peo
ple who obtain silver for their shinplas-
ters to horde the silver coin, and to thus
keep it out of circulation, than it is for
the rich buiiionists to horde tbeir millions
of gold coin and thus not only keep it
out of circulation but force it to a
premium while siver coin is at a
large discount? Under the existing
financial policy of the government the
gold issue of the United States mint is
monopolized by the government itself
and the wealthy bondholders and money
monopolists at a premium of twelve to
thirteen per cent., while the silver coin
age of the same mint, not being a legal
tender, and at a discount even for paper
money, is made the money for the poor.
Gold at a premium for the rich and silver
at a discount for the poor. “ This is
certainly very bad and all in the wrong
direction.” The poor mechanic and la
boring man who gets hold of a few dol
lars in silver change, if he cau afford it,
is quite as excusable for putting it away
in a stocking, as the millionaire of Wall
street is who locks up his millions
of gold in the vaults of the sub-Treasury
and the banks. The evils of our finan
cial system will never be cured until some
means is devised to universalize and
equalize the currency, be it paper or
coin. There should be but one stable
currency and one standard of value for
the government and the people, for the
rich and the poor. Financiers, “ bullion-
ists ” and “ inflationists ” may tinker at
the currency till doomsday, and until
this is accomplished all their efforts to
cure the existing evil will have been ex
pended in vain.
I he South and the Presidency.
The Columbus Times, referring to the
reports started by some Sew York Herald
Bohemian writing from Atlanta, Georgia,
that the Georgia delegation to St. Louis
is unanimous for Tilden for the Presi
dency, says: “We perceive in the North
ern papers various speculations as to the
votes which delegations from certain
Southern States will cast in the St. Louis
Convention. According to one of these
reports, it is already ascertained that a
majority of the Georgia delegation,
chosen last week, are for Gov. Tilden!
Such reports and speculations are simply
ridiculous, so far as they relate to Geor
gia, and we believe as to all the other
Southern States. There neyer was a time
when the people or politicians of the
Southern States cared so little for men
in this connection. Neither do they
care so much for any policy or measures
that may be proposed subordinate to the
great duty of restoring the Federal Gov
ernment to its constitutional limitations
and its honest administration. They have
their own ideas on the currency question,
but we tell the political speculators of
the North now that they will not adhere
to or support any Democratic aspirant
because of his opinions on this question,
unless well satisfied that he is sound in
other respects, and that he is the strong
est man that can be nominated. They
go for making the contest a success first,
and for the details of administration af
terwards. They will go to St. Louis with
the dispassionate purpose of finding out
the true Democrat who can win, and as
sisting to nominate him.”
“Bings.”
Alluding to the statement of the Au
gusta Chronicle that “a small ring of very
small men will attempt to take charge of
Richmond ccunty in the coming cam
paign, and that the ring numbers just
enough men to fill all the offices,” the
Columbus Times says: “This is the
greatest danger which the Democrats of
Georgia now have to encounter. A largo
majority of the people of the State are
Democrats from both principle and inter
est, and the late exposures of Radical cor
ruption in office are not calculated to
moderate the opposition aroused by hos
tility to our section and the opprts
sion of our people. But selfish men,
working only for their own interests,
may distract and divide a party which
outside opposition cannot overpower, nor
political sophistry mislead. Unselfish
Democrats must watch the movements of
such men—must look out for “snap
judgments,” packed conventions, and
combinations of aspirants for office. The
theory of popular government does not
concemplate any personal alliances or
conspiracies pf this kind. It tolerates
no trick or combination which prevents
any man from standing before the peo
ple, or before his party, on his own mer
its, when he aspires to public office. We
hope that the Richmond county ring will
be broken, and every similar ring in
Georgia smashed as soon as discovered.”
Nepotism.—In view of the constantly
increasing evil of nepotism, or whole
families in office, under the Grant admin
istration, the Washington Gazette sug
gests the following amendment to some
House bill soon to pass :
And be it further enacted, That here
after no two or more relatives by blood
or marriage shall bold office or employ
ment by appointment under the govern
ment ; nor shall the relative of any one
elected to office hold office or employ
ment by appointment; and where two
or more relatives have held office or em
ployment for one year, each and all of
such relatives by blood or marriage shall
be forthwith discharged ; and any officer
who shall hereafter knowingly pay such
relatives in office or employment shall
himself be discharged, and be subject to
a fine of not less than one thonsand dol
lars and imprisonment for one year.
The Hon. James F. Wilson, of Iowa,
who was formerly in Congress, has given
Mr. Blaine a certificate of character in
reference to that $64,000. He says “he
investigated the subject long ago and be
came convinced of Mr. Blaine’s guiltless
ness in the premises.” Now if Mr. Har
rison would say as much the public might
be induced to believe that Mr. Blaine is
innocent, but as long as he persists in de
manding an investigation a large number
of people will believe that where there is
-h smoke there is some fire.

Atlanta, May 5.
The convention met at eight o’clock last
night, and a long string of red-hot Radical
resolutions were adopted as the platform.
Sima wanted the delegates to Cincinnati to
go uninstructed, but to vote for Akerman
for Vice President. Akerman promptly
withdrew his name. Geo. Wallace, colored,
wanted the delegates
PLEDGEn TO MORTON.
All these matters were tabled, but Jamef
Deveaux offered another Morton resolntiOD,
which, after a heated debate, was mada the
final business of the convention. Deveaux,
amidst great applause, said that ninety-
eight thousand Republicans in Georgia were
for Morton. Bryant reported a big central
committee, composed of
A CROWD OF FEDEBAL OFFICE-HOLDEBS,
and declared that he was determined to fight
the Democratic party to the bitter end.
Atkins, Turner, Wilson, Sims, Whitely and
Pleasants are members. The report of
Postmaster Clark of delegates to Cincin
nati, started the biggest fie lit of the con
vention. The negroes demanded two rep
resentatives, and Whitely’s name was
dropped and Geo. Wallace, colored, substi
tuted, making H. P. Farrow, James Atkins,
H. M. Turner and Geo. Wallace delegates-
at-large.

There is reason to anticipate the presence

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, May 5.—In the House a reso

Sixty-odd private bills passed.
The naval appropriation bill was reported.
It reduces expenses uearly thirteen millions.
It contains a provision looking to the sale of
the.naval hospitals at Annapolis and Wash
ington, and directs them to be closed daring
the next fiscal year. It also contains a pro
vision looking to the sale of the navy yards
at Charlestown, Washington and Pen
sacola, and to the recession of the
naval station at New London, and
directs the establishment of a naval
rendezvous at Tybee Island or at Cockspur
Island in Georgia. It orders the stopping
of enlistments in the navy until the number
of enlisted men is reduced to 7,500.
In the Senate, tho chair submitted the re

gia coast. Referred to the Committee on
Commerce.
The Committee on Foreign Relations re
ported favorably on the House bill authoriz
ing the President to appoint two Centennial
Commissioners in lien of those acting from
Texas, and asked present consideration.
Hamilton objected. He wished to address
the committee on the bill. It was recom
mitted.
The impeachment trial was resumed.
Carpenter said he wonid endeavor to show,
first, that the articles of impeachment
coaid not be entertained against a
private citizen in any case whatever;
second, that whenever articles of impeach
ment are exhibited, they mast set forth the
fact essential to constitute a crime impeach
able. Knott, of Kentucky, followed in be
half of the managors, and had not con
cluded when the .Senate went into executive
session aud adjourned.
The Secretary.of the Treasury transmitted
to the Committee on Ways and Means a pa
ragraph of a letter from Professor Henry,
as follows : “ Since a high grade of sugar
can be mado to assume the appearance of a
low grade by artificial coloring, the plan
adopted of rating tariff by color is defec
tive. A progressive ratio of duties corres
ponding with the percentage of crystaliza-
ble sugar is the proper basis for taxation,
and the only one by which fraud on the
government can be prevented.”

THE CHINESE.
San Francisco, May 5.—Len Sck&im,
christianized Chinese, testified before tho
Senate Commission that it was practically
impossible: to convert grown Chinamen to
Christianity, though the attempt is some
times successful with hoys. The condition
of Chinese women is horrible. They are
sold and bonght like cattle, and abused and
tortured, and are sometimes killed while at
tempting to escape. The better class of
Chinese here desire immigration stopped.
The whole thiDg can be done in a friendly
way. The Chinese Government would
readilv consent, bat could qot do
it themselves, as there are eighteen
provinces, apd nearly every province
is in rebellion. Christianity is not advanced
by this immigration, bat if stopped some
thing might bo done with these already
here. He corroborated the evidence of the
manner in which secret Chinese tribunals
pat a price on the lives of those offending
against the laws. Matthew Knher, Chief
of Police, characterizes the climeae popu
lation, almost without exception, as thieves,
liars and perjurers.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
Columbia, S. C., May 5.—The Democratic
State Convention to-day elected Gen. John
Bratton, Hon. W. D. Porter, D. Wyatt Aiken
and Gen. J. D. Kennedy as delegatee-at-

Perry is one of the district delegates. The
delegates are nninstructed and have different
preferences as to candidates, bat will vote
m convention for the candidate most likely
to win. A heated debate is goiDg on upon
the platform, pledging the Democratic
party of the State to acoept the National
Democratic platform and to nominating a
straight Democratic ticket with a prospect
of itf adoption.
THE NASHVILLE RACES.
Nashville, May 5.—The first race, two
mile heats, did not fill, and was a walk over
for Weatherby. In the geoond race, mile
heats, Comargo won the first in 1:45i, and
Fair Play the next two, in 1:45| and 1:46.
