The national democratic committee met at the Arlington Hotel to-day- The meeting was called to order by Senator Barnum, chairman and the roll was called by Hon. Frederick D. Prince, of Boston, Massachusetts, secretary and treasurer. The n ting Was a very fullone. After some little discussion’ of a minor character, the question was raised if the committee had not better adjourn, Congress being in session and a number of the members therefore unable to be present. The committee decided that such was the better course, and accordingly ad- journed until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. The members think that this session ‘of the committee will on account of its universal im- portance be somewhat protracted. Previous to being called to order and after the adjourn. ment there was an interchange of opinion among members, who were all unanimous in giving a hopeful account of the prospects of the democratic party in the fall campaign. Those from the West andSouth more especially were hopeful ; those from the North and East thought they could hold their present ground and make some slight gains. As to the Potter resolution, it was t] jonent to be neither ill-ad- vised nor that it would result in any way to the disadvantage of the democratic party. On the contrary the republicans were quoted as the ones to Suffer on account of that measure. Nothing has been determined on as to what he committee shall do, but two results from appear to be more than likely, name! a resolution endorsing the Potter reso. jution, and the issuing of an ad- dress to the country partially as ‘an ofiset to the address issued a few days since by the grin Whether this address will declare that the Memigeraey does not contem- plate an attack upon the President's title is a subject of conjecture. It will, however, hold the republicans in Congress up in the light of having intentionally obstructed the passage of @ resolution having for its object the inyesti- gation of frauds committed in the last Pres - ential election, or the fastening as tightly a possible of the charge of fraud on the republ can party. oe Mr. BENNETT'S POLAR EXPEDITION.—S letters were issued at the custom house, yes terday, to James Gordon Bennett's yacht Pan dora, whieh will sail with a partyin seareh ° the North Pole. “Notice was given that he name is to be changed to Jeanette.

[Correspondence of The Star] Panis, May 4th, 1878. Editor Star:—The Par formally opened, but never was an interna tional exposition which was to surpass every- thing of the kind ever before undertaken, ushered into existence with such tame cere- monies and such little enthusiasm. day, the Ist inst., was the day announced for the christening, but the overgrown baby was by no means ready for the imposing ceremo- nies intended. Thousands of men were kept busy day and night in trying to make it pre- sentable. They patched here, and draped there, covering up what was unfinished— which was nearly everything—to the best o their ability ; but the failure was a lamentable one. One could see ata glance middle of June the Paris Exposition wi A GRAND SUCCESS, but it is rey ared that by that time the visitors will be ‘en away by the exorbitant charges in Paris and the wholesale cheating be on all sides. Early on the Istof May the streets | were filled with private carriages, cabs, and pedestrians of all classes wending their way to the Exposition. The French love for orderly management and a desire to show eff their boasted police organization led the authorities to prepare separate tickets for the different gates and for different visitors, and separate rontes for the carriages, and the consequence was a bad mixture all round. The inaugural ceremonies were to take place from the palace of the Trocadero. half-past eleven the gates were opened to those who had special tickets, Some idea of the crowd may be ob- tained from the fact that MORE THAN 20,000 PRIVATE CARRIAGES were drawn up outside the gates. A heavy storm the day previous had made the grounds untit for waleing. and at half-past twelve an- other severe thunder storm put a damp- er on the interest of the large crowd on the terraces of the Trocadero, what. little in- terest there was. There was nothing to see as the Norwegian, Persian, Chinese, Egyptian, and Moorish palaces of the Trocadero. were not yet opened. There was nothing to do but wait until two o'clock for the arrival of Mar- shal McMahon. His four-horse carriage was the signal for a cannon salute, which was fol- lowed by a roll of drums. Tie Marshal was met by the minister of agriculture and com- merce and the Commissioner General of the Exposition. The bateony above the cascade ‘as not half large enough for the prominent personages for whom it was intended, and consequently a great bustling and pushing followed: but that was only one of the results of the bad management which has character ized Ger tting connected with the Expost- tion thus far. Avter an exchange ot compli- mentary remarks between the minister of com- merce and the President-Marshal upon the grand success of the enterprise, the laiter declared the Exposition open. At his words the artillery sounded, the water works began to play, amidsta loud burst of military music. A romiscuously arranged cortege then crossed he Trocadero bridge and proceeded down the avenue of foreign nations. Marshal MeMahon in the official uniform of the Marshal-Presi- dent, and the Prince of Wales in the becomin; uuiform of the Horse Guards, led the crow y which was composed of foreign princes andam: bassadors, the members of the Senate and of the Chamber of Deputies, and other Persons of prominence. There was no accompany ‘ing inusie. and no troops, except a handful of the municipal guard, who straggled along in no sort of marching order. THE ONLY INTERESTING FEATURES of the procession, if it can be so called, were the handsome and varied uniforms and the prominence of their wearers, who devoted all their attention to dodging Tod PuGAI Ver little enthusiasm was shown, and in the French quarter even hisses were heard. At the Ameri- ¢an section, however, three hearty United States cheers, with a tigah-h, aroused a little the flagging | interest, and seemed to give leasure. € fifteen sailors who are here to do what Frenchmen can’t—work—were drawn up in man-of-war style, commanded by Ensign Lucien Young, whose name became so well known by the Huron disaster. The sailors presented such a neat and orderly appearance, attracted the attention of the Marshal, who stopped and asked Mr. Young if ged were Awerican sailors, then complimented them on their appearance, and expressed pleasure at their presence. Beyond were over thirty ma. rines, drawn up in genuine military style, in a beautiful line, commanded by Lieuis. Russell and Zeilin, both Washington boys. Commis sioner Gen’). McCormick, looking handsomer than ever, in full evening dress, accompanied his two aids, Lieutenants Buckingham, of the navy, and Rodgers, of the cavalry, anda number of assistant commissioners, held a short but nt cenversation with the Mar- shal. The distinguished crowd then proceeded down the avenue. That closed the procecd- ings, and the many people present amused themselves as best they could by inspecting the half finished exhibits. __ THE OBJECT OF THE EXPOSITION.
