SPECIAL TELEGRAM TQ THE HERALO. Wormal Opening of the Great, Exposition—A General Holiday and Turn Out of the Peopte—Coufusion Inside the Building and the American Depari Greatly Behind— Splendid Reception of the Emperor and Im- perial Party—Advance in the Charges of Diving. Panis, Monday, April 1, 1867. The great Paris Universal Exposition was formally @pened this morning, The day Was observed as a holiday by the entire popu- Yation of the city. The morning dawned cloudily, but the sky cleared at an early hour, and by tem o'clock in the forenoon the weather was most beautiful, like that enjoyod on a fine day of May in New York. The state of the weather may be taken indeed as typical of the Exhibition building, which is now in great confusion, ‘but when fully completed will be one of the wonders of ahe word. Viewed at a distance the building resembles a mam- woth gésometer dressed with flags, but when entered it 4x found ‘o be in every way convenient. ii 4 At eleven o'clock A. M. the doors were opened, and -by the timo of the Emperor's arrival there were five thou- pand pomons inside. Outside, algng the banks of the @round Paria, at least one hundred thousand people had escombied. t ' Order was leat, Every carriage ig Paris seems to be employed in journeys to aud from the building. The groundeef and around the Exposition building ‘ere in a lamentable state of confusion. Wagons and workmen were busy carting away the rabbish when the Emperor arrived. Heaps of dirt and straw and packing cases iay around or were temporarily thrown into the unfinished harbors and fancy cottages. Inside the building was the same seene—everywhere’ dedris; not one tenth of goods opened or arranged, but the French department of course in the best order; mext to dhet the Russian, and third the English; Sl the other departments not ready. The American department is one of the most incom. plete, and the Commissioners, exhibitors and Americans generally in the city are very dissatisfied with Commis- sioner Beckwith, who appears totally inefficient. The ouly department in operation is the restaurants, but even here the Americans are behind hand. ‘The ouly goods which bave been damaged on the voy- age are American, Atone o'clock the invited guests assembled ia the art gallery, where Amenca made a fine show; many fine Pictures being exhibited and well hung, bat the English display was much greater, When the guests gathered, however, the superiority of the American ladies was conceded. They were the belles of the day, ‘A britliant company blazing with diamonds and orders @iied the contrel hail te welcome the Emperor and Smpress, who came precisely at two o’clock in the after- moon. ‘The crowd outside the building was good natured but ‘mot demonstrative towards them. No cheers greeted the Ampérial party. ‘They drove up a long avenue covered ‘witt'a vélvet canopy of green and gold, decorated with flags sad lined with soldiera, They alighted at a splendid pavillion specially built for the Emperor. | The Kmperor immediately reappeared and gave his ‘arm to the Empress, and proceeded on foot to the main door. During the imperial progress full bands played the national airs. The cheering mow grew louder, the Americans and English present leading with hearty “harrahs,” and Turks, Japanese, Italians, Prussians, Germans and French joining in the different styles peculiar to their Several countries, | The Emperor and Empress bowed repeatediy to the crowd a3 they ascended the platform which runs around the machine gallery. ‘The Emperor wore a plain evening dress, with a scarf ‘of the Legion of Honor, and carried a heavy cane. He fooked smiling, but pale and fatigued. ‘The Empress was robed in black silk, and looked in Gine health, The Prince Imperial and Prince Napoleon were not present. The Princess Clothilde wore a brown velvet dress, pow- dered with gold, A distinguished party of Senators and Ministers formed an escort for the imperial party. Prince Lewchtenburg represented Russia ‘The membors of the Dipiomatic Corps accredited to the French Court, clothed in uniform, bad special seats reserved for them at the opening scene, but they were completely hidden from view. Proceded by the chamberlains the party passed round ‘the ontiro gallery, nearly a mile long. { The difereat national commissions stood on a platform Over the sections allotted to their countries. Turks, Japanese, Russians, Moors, Tunisians and Per- Bians wore their full national costumes, { The Kmperor spoke a few words to each commission, ut vt the American department he stopped with the Empress aad bowed to the crowd, who were cheering heartily. | Hair an hour was consumed in this tour. Then the Wortége descended and passed through the art and a few other galleries, and at three o’clock returned to the palace. + Tho Exposition will not be ready till May. One half of all the space is allotted to France, and that is not gompleie. Tho Knglish aro very strona in machinery. beating the NEW YORK ‘HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1867.-TRIPLB SHEET.

The close vote of last spring induced the democrats to come out in their might and endeavor to bring the State back inte the ranks of the faithful, from which she has been absent for some years. They were greatly aided by the immoral dead weight which had been forced upon the republicans in the Fourth Congressional district in the shape of a swindling showman, and, as will be seen by the returns published below, their energies have been crowned with success, and the republi- can party in that State have been taught a lesson that they will not speedily forget.

Of all the initiatory arrangements connected with the Russian telograph you are fully informed. The grants of the British and-Russian governments were complete ‘eed satisfactory, A general and thorough examipation of the entire route, chiefly by the inspection of the com. pany’s agents, was made, The aid of governmental surveys, the records of explorers, the testimony of the government officers in the regions to be traversed, had | established the absence of physical obstacles to its com struction, and the work was commenced with evory- to indicate ‘guccess. Acting upon ali the information thus obtained, and satisfied of the public need of connection with Europe which this route seemed to all miuds to most certainly secure, and stimulated, moreover, thereto by the feeling of disappointment created by the failure of the Atlantic cable in 1858, the work was immediately commenced. Men of great experience and ent ise were despatched with large bodies of assistants to different points of the American and Asiatic coast, and, until a recent date, the ‘work was prosecuted with ‘all the vigor which capital ‘and intelligent labor could secure, The lines of this company having been completed to New Westminster, the capital of British Columbia, that city became the starting point for the line to Russia, With greater ease than the building of the line from Chicago to San Francisco, eight hundred and fifty miles of tine were erected, and the wires connected to the banks of the Simpson river. Beyond tt only needed a vigorous and intelligent commiasariat to overcome the difficulties of transportation, and push the construction of the line to the Behring sea and on to the terminal point at the mouth of the Amoor. Such was our confidence in taking, i the favorable roporta made to us from our own explorers, and the topographical engineers of Russia, Great Britain and our own country, that the materia! for the whole line was purchased and disirtbution at various convenient points commenced, and such pro- gress made on both continents as would have secured the complotion of the entire structure within the preseat ‘or succeeding year.
