THE RECORD,
CEDARTOWN. (iA., MAY 18. 1870
read Ilia addrrHH in rather a low, ful-
toring tone, stopping frequently ns if
trying to get a hotter control of his
I voice. Whan ho announced that the
exhibition wns open, and the Atueiicnn
ling whs unfurled, tho enthuHiiiHin i f
tho mighty crowd boiled ovor, and
they gavo vont to wildest cheering
and demonstrations. Tito llnllalnj ih
Chorus wus then givou, when tho
march through tho various buildings
began, led by President Grant, Dom
Pedro and wifo, and Cabinet. Tho
chimes were rung, a salute fired by
the nrtellory, and tho buildings wore
then thrown open, for tho first Limo,
to tho public. Much to tho surpriso
of nearly ovory ono, scarcoly rnoro
tlinu throo-fouitlia of tho spico allot
ted to exhibitors liavo boon taken up,
tho passages are choked up with ma
chinery that is still uupackod, and tho
floors littered ovor with boxes. Fully
two or throo weeks will pass beforo
everything is in full running order,
and for tho present, at least, I advise
your readers to postpono their visit.
Many persons have como hero, and
will go away sadly disappointed on
accouut of this Incompleteness. That
the exhibition will ho in two or throo
weeks tho Attest tho world has ovor
soon, no ono doubts, but it should be
so itow. It is estimated that fully
180,000 persons wore present at tho
opouing, the greater portion of whom
wero caught iu thopouriug rain which
enmo suddenly up niul continued lor
hours.

PniLAOKu m, Pa., May 14, 1870.
Tho Centennial Exhibition has boon
Opened, end every American may feel
justly proud of it. While every build
ittg under the control of the Commis
sioners is finished and ready, very few
of tlioso belonging to piivale exhib
itors nro ovi u under way. The con
noquonco is that the ground is disfig.
tired by great lumps of dirt, lumber
and boxes, and the air is filled with
the sound of hammors and saws of
hundreds of workmen. Wero it not
for tho sight of tlieso unfinished build
ings, tho groat unsightly hoops of de
bris, and the roads cut to pieces by
the heavily laden teams, tho exliibi
lions would be all that the most scep
tical ran di siro. Before another
month is pant, howovor, all tlieso de
fects will have boon remedied, and
cry thing be in perfect working ordor.
A better plneo for the exhibition
could not have bc< u chosen. Tho 280
ncros of J airmounl Park set apart for
it, form n small table laud, about 100
feet above llio liver, and which is di-
versified by valleys and green slopes.
Almost every available part of the
grounds is ernamouted by fountains,
llowcis, Ireos, lakes, monuments and
pavilions, while across tho valleys and
drains oro built beautiful light iron
blidgos— nil logt tbor forming as beau
tiful u picture ns I have ever seen.
A faint id. a of tho ni/.o of the build
ings may bo giv n when it is stated
that tho main buildings cover 75 acres,
and that the aisles, cr passages thro’
Hu in in o 115 miles lot g, and that It
takes about tbioc days to go through
them all, making n most cursory ex-
niiiiu.il ion of the things on exhibit! n.
In ordor to add to the convenience of
the visitors, a Dai row gauge railroad
has boon built around iusiiio of tho
grounds, so that for five couUf each
one can make a tour of t ;o grounds
In about twenty minutes. homo of
the engines which draw the cars are
quite diminutive, while tho cars are
open boxes, so as to give the pttSHCii*
gers u full view of llm grounds, nipl
mo all nuwlt’ by difioront Ilyins nit ad
vertisements. There is also u chair
company, Imvii g chairs placed upon
wIiooIh, vvh.o’i can be hired with u man
to push you about ut sixty cents an
h >ur. A visitor Iiuh only to gel iu ono
n( there clm.'rs, tell the attendant
where ho wishes to go, mid lie will bo
inlttui tin iv without ttlO sf/gtltcst CX-
cition on hi* pint. Several elevators
Iiiivo been erected uilsidn of llm
grounds, iu which visitors cm ho ta
ken up to what, appears to tin in to bo
nu imiueiiso height, and liavo n full
bird's eye view of not only f ho giouuu,
but Philadelphia mid all the country
around.

was an imiigiuutivo subatnneo
about us solid as a mixture you would
form of moonshiuo, syllabub and tjeu-
blossoniR. Very delightful, very
enchanting iu tho diltaiicoi Imt not
lid enough for two individuals to
stand on long enough to got married.
Tho next speaker made a speech in
behalf of lovo. Evidently his inward
rquniutnnoo with llio subject was
limited, lie took it up gent'y but
did iu l handle ii with care. Ho
treated it ns a fish would treat your
halt when it saw the end of your hook
Tho speakers came on*, in aucocss’on
Mien to tho number of about fom teon,
first on one side ami then on Hie oth
er. Tlieso iq oi chts were rare, but not
rich nor racy. Yes, sir I they wore
rare—I never beard llio like before.
The subject to bo discussed they used
as a text to brnch ofl’ on something
else. Thoro Wero very few things
but were noticed that night. Tho
subjects were much more Humorous
than thu speakers. Blighuui
Young and his wives, opossums, Delay,
Essieni cities, mules,credit, elephant's
cars, Grant, polities, porsonul matters,
general mutters. Time and space
would fail mo to tell all thu Hubjcotu
upon which levies wore made by thu
con funding portion. Suffiuo it to say
that more subjects o.m lie thought of,
mere that has n > lelovunoy to the
ijiiestiou at issue, at a country dobato
than elsowlioio in the wide world.
Yes, 1 guess there nro enough things
said, or subjects thought of, enough
systems uiudo, enough spitting duue
in olio country debates iu ono night
to equal what tho whole Houso of
Lords uud Commons would do of the
same things in a much longer time.
Yet with all the boring and repetition
ui.d scraping in the debates they are
very interesting. The debating soci
ety of which I liavo boon speaking is
now in u flourishing condition, but
from what I heard about ono of
their proposed questions 1 fear it will
die of the discusj that killed tho
Georgia Legislature—a canine a flec
tion. They propose to discuss in the
future tho following significant
question: “which is tho more profitable
to u country, Fieo dogs or pop corn."
1 am of the opinion that a debating
society that can stand this question
must have a ttrong constitution.

ance of tho thing, of tlm hearing it

llio troubles into which it may plunge
kings and quoens (if it were to be
complishod) I shall answer him plain
ly. And I any as a citizen of this nn-
tiou, I inn opposed to it for several
ronsons. Ono very small reason in, it
can not bo done. There is not money
onougli in America and Europe to
comploto such a woik as Ibis. An
other reason is thu couutiy cannot
stand it. It has stood war and can
stand it again. Jt has stood the burn
ing of its cities and cau stand tire

mon’s enterprise would sink her, not
only into financial ruin, but into na
tional imbecility. Aud the national
onsideratiou should outweigh all ot!<-
rs. No man's love of motley should
induce him to iuii his country in
debt, and biing trouble on thousands
just to have a railroad with a eaual on
top of it. It is a pity I hut such men
are in Alabama.
Dill while 1 oppose Simon's steam
boat affair, I admire .Siino:i liimt>ol r .
There arose many narrow contracted,
dwarfed, pitiable L.inds iu the world,
that it is really reficulling to meet on •
whore opinions and idem have some
size about them. Little views uro i.ot
iu Simon's hm, I see. If lie could
liellOw his light of view, his depth of
conception and his breadth of expan
sion upon tho goviiniMiit, without
his Rail-Canal, he would be worthy
the grntitii'h. of the people.
