NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION. To rH EbITOR oF THE fERALD:— ‘This gigantic enterprise of providing a permanent building in New York for continual exhibitions of the industries and arta of the world is rightly at- tracting the attention of the European public, Al- though to be located in this commercial centre, 80 distant froin the industries of the Old World, st has a ‘universal interest. It will promote the ends of all good governments everywhere. It will encourage peace and labor, It will serve as @ means to bind the nations of the earth into a charitable and for- bearing unity, and ald in hastening the time when the nations of the earth will strive in peaceful com- Petition, not for military glory and martial conse- quence, but for higher material and industrial posi. tion, But to the citizens of this whole nation, and especially to those of the city itself, it is a question of great importance where this Industrial Palace shall be located—so located as not to benefit a few, but to serve the interests of the whole city and coun- try—so located as to honestly and faithfully promote in all their fulness the objects and purposes for which the State of New York granted this most lb- eral and comprehensive charter. Well, sir, there is no trouble about the money. ‘This is provided for, But where shall this palace be built? Much has been published respecting a site. Some prefer Central Park, others Westchester, others @ western and others an eastern position on the island. Some, again, suggest Brooklyn, and our Jersey neighbors point to their attractive heights, The people generally thus far plead most for Madison Square. Letthe discussion go on. The site some- what determines the building and the objects to be attained and the building also determine the site. The present industrial position of the United States, and we may add of Great Britain, ‘France and Germany, should be represented in the building and certainly the leading characteristics of our citi. zens should be considered, their courage in the vast- ness of the scheme, and their energy, determination and strength and the rapidity with which every opera- ton of this great work must be carried on. Not only in the vastness of the building must the greatness of our city and country be made manifest, but also in the stores of raw material ready for this exigence, in must, befo! upon his fubecrie to an oath simiar‘o ie one agen by te | 'e acllty with which our maehinery may be em: jist of ager ce are-Sn perform theserviee to elaborate matter into manufactures'of the hi est ‘A PERSONAL VISIT TO EACH DWELLING HOUSE order, and in the grace with whien the charm of de- and toeach family in the subdivision assigned to | Coration may superadded to so utilitarian Dhw, and ascertain by inquiries made of sume mem- | ® Structure, thus showing no indifference here ber of each family, if any one can be found capable | 1 the fine arts in fashioning this Temple of Peace Of giving the information; but if not, then of | te ates of which are to be thrown open to the world the agent of such family, the name of each memoer | °F mavy yp Ate opie Before calling upon our thereof, the age and place of birth of each, and all leaned ond af Hall qltizens Tor thelr suggesHons as Gistricken visit Pera eg ee fara the Fural | Present au ouvine oF previous edidoes of this cae Mines and other pluees respecting which informa, racter t—conocrning the Exhibition Building of Lon- THE NINTH CENSUS, How It Is to Be Taken and Who Is to Take It— The Southern District of New York—Sub- dividing tho Districts and Appoint. ment of Assistant Marshals, ' Notwithstanding our country has, since the last Census was taken, been ravaged by a cruel, remorse- Jeas and devastating civil war, which, forthe time Deing, prostrated almost every branch of industry, Yuined our commeree and well nigh depleted our National treasury, the ninth census will, without a Goubt, show that we have asa nation grown faster dm wealth, prosperity, industry and population than 4n almost any preceding ten years of our history as a Ration. Jt willshow o far greater development in our mimeral resources and our sources of communt- Cation than perhaps auy twenty years previous, while, save in those States recently m rebellion, 1t ‘will present a greater growth, a more rapid expan- sion and a greater IMPROVEMENT IN AGRICULTURE, that great source of a nation’s wealth, than has ever Deen attained in a corresponding time in any nation on the face of the ear th. Considering these facts greater importance be- comes attached to the proper and accurate taking Of this census than there did to any of the eight pre- cecing, By an act of Congress passed May 23, 1850, the ‘United States Marshals are charged with the impor- tant daty of causing all the inhabitants to be enume- Fated, and to collect all other stritstical information Wiihin their respective districts, subject to the tn- structions of the Secretary of the Interior, and toreturn the same to the sald Secretary on or be- fore the 1st day of November next ensuing, the ‘work to commence on the Ist of June. Before a Marshal enters upon this duty he must, in addition to the oath taken when he enters upon his duties as Marshal, take and subscribe to an oath that he will, to the best of his ability, perrorm ail duties required of him in enumeratiug the inhabitants aud collect. ing Statistica, &c. «ch marshal is required to his district into sub-divisions, containing not to exceed 20,000 inhabitants exch, and to i trp to each sub-division so divided an assistant, wi tion is required and must obtain all such int don of 1851, for example, Hyde Park was preferre: from the best and mon feAnble coe enct information | without delay by the uti of Carlisle the Chier Com.

Passing through a vestibule, seventy- two fect by forty-eight, the visitor gained admittance to the main building and stood beneath the great feature of the whole, the transept. Above his head, at a height of sixty-elght feet from the ground, iprung a semi-cylindrical vault seventy-two feet in diameter, extending for a lengtn of 408.fect from soutb to north. On each side of this covered space Some Tiere reese he visitor, advancing half way along the transe] found himself in the ceatre of the balding and Ri eye ranged eastward and westward along its vast nave for 900 feet in each direction, tne total length being not less than 1,843 feet. Tbe nave was a grat avenue, sixty-four feet high and seventy-two tect wide, crs the trapsept at right angles. On each side of it extended aisles twenty-four feet in width, aud above them, at twenty-four feet from the ground, were carried gulleries surrounding the Ues, and two copies, duly compared and corrected, to the Marshal of ‘the district.

THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ‘The largest and by far ie most Important district in the United States is the Southern district of New York, of which General G. H. Sharp, a gentleman of great experience and culture, is marshal. {+ com- rises the counties of Greene, Ulster, Sullivan, range, Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Columbia and the ctiy and county of New York. ‘With the exception of the last named the counties have been subdivided and nearly ali of the appoint- ments made. The city and county of New York will be divided into about 150 subdivisions, each containing from 8,000 to 10,000 inhabitan's, Although the origina! law allows the marshals to divide their districts into subdivisions of 20,000 in- habitants each, yei General Sharp thinks, and very wisely, too, that 10,000 inhabitants ts about all one man cau properly attend to within the time aliowed, The rural counties are subdivided into districis as follows:—Uilster, ten; Orange, ten; Westchester, four- teen; Dutchess, fourteen; Columbia, tweive; Put- pam, three; Rockland, tiree; Sullivan, seven, and Green, five. General Sharp has not appointed and will not ap- point any but temperate, inteiligeut and active men; those who are weli and favorably known in the community from wiiich they are app»inied, and are well versed in letters and figures. Nor wiil he appoint any other than those who are actual fusi- dents of the subdivisions to which they are ap- pointed. In sections where a foreign language is spoken to any great extent he will appoint persons who are able to converse in that tongue, so that there need be no confusion, THE RICHARDS To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— All through the great trial of McFarland your sym- pathy has been publicly expressed for the defendant. ‘You may be right, I will not dispute but wiat you are; but still have you ever thought what infinence ‘the acquittal of McFarland and your words of en- couragement would have on others?

To pass Seon, one line of galleries to the other pridges quent interva's spanned the forty-eight ave- mucs anda.divided them into courts, presenting an “ensemble” to the eye of u spectator looking down upon it from the galierles. Tie remainder of the building in width consisted of one story only, twenty- four feet high, ia which of course there were no galleries. Ten douple staircases, eight feet wide, gave access to these galleries. The vertical supports of this building consisted rey of cast iron; the horizontal connections and girders were both of wrouglit and cust iron, 550 tons of wrought and 8,500 tons of cast ron were used, The whole of the roof above the highest tier of iron framework con- sisted of wood and glass, and the external enclosures and facework were of the seme materials, Eight hundred and ninety-six thousand superficial feet of giass, weighing 400 tons, and 600,000 cubic lect of ‘wood, including the flooruig, were used, The beau- tiful diagonal regularity of the lines of the columns was produced by placing every column at the points of intersection of lines, twenty-four fect apart, crossing one auother at right int 3, While in roof- ing and flooring the squares of the whole plan were subdivided into others of eight fect. The total area of the ground floor was 772,784 square fect and that of the galleries 217%100 square feet. The galleries extended nearly a mile in length, Total cubic conteuts of the building were 33,000,000 feet. There were thirty miles of gutvers, 202 miles of sash bars and 900,000 s.uare feet of glass. The width of the nave was double that of St. Paul’s and was four times as large. With regard to ventilation aud other arraugements no :ault could be found.

Result of the Elections—Majority of the Govern- ment Candidates—Prospects of Reform— Affairs in the South. VALPARAISO, April 17, 1870, The elections have now finally closed for Senators and Deputies, and the intense excitement respecting them that has been experienced throughout the re public {s gradually disappearing. As was mentioned in my last communication, the government and its supporters have, as it was supposed, been in the main triumphant, but at the same time the oppo- sition party has largely increased the number of its representatives in both houses, and has elected class of men vastly superior to that which formerly represented its views. Indeed, no election has ever taken place in Chile in which general interest has been manifested, and to this is owing the fact that whe very best and foremost men have appeared a8 candidates on either side. The opportunity 18 #0 promising for rising reputations to take part ina contest upon which the reform of the constitution depends and the chance for popularity is so en- tucing, that many who heretofore have studiously avoided political life have in this last came Paign been the first and most active in the fleld, ‘The number of delegates elected by the opposition Party reaches thirty, thereby giving this opposing faction the opportunity of boasting that, 1 the vic- tory was not entirely theirs, yet the gain Is so great over the elections of former years that the time of their decisive triumph cannot be far distant. The govern- Ment, it is believed, will place no serious obstacles in the way of what appears to be the popular desire— that 1s, the thorough reform of the right of franchise, and the entire remodelling of the constitution of 1883, that has so long been in force here, and which 1s beyond a doubt far behind the requirements of the times. Nevertheless, the partial success cf the oppo- sition party is considered as dangerous by some of the extreme members of the government organiza- tion, as there are many rumors of a change of Cabl- net, Mr. Amunategui, the Minister of the Interior, having become very unpopular in consequence of his interference in some of the provincial contests, and it is considered probable that he will resign, This, however, ts still mere conjecture. Few persong would now care to take service under the present administration, At last Chile has taken a decided step in regard to the long vexed question of the Congress of Plenipo- tentlaries at Washington, for the pur) of arrang- ing an armistice or'a definitive ae pate Spain e ee Auieg te ublics of the Pacific. The Hon. , how Minister of Chile in Pera, has been entrusted with this important mission, an Will proceed on his errand as soon as the necessary instructions are made out and forwarded to him. it is not probable, however, that Chile will consent to @ peace with Spain. An armistice will possibly be agreed to, and in case of any difference the terms of the protocol must be adhered to, by which it is stated that should the allied republics, through their representatives, find it impossible to agree jointly, eath republic will have the right to sign a peace with Spain, upon such conditions as it may see fit to stipulate, The fact is that Chile never has desired to enter into friendly relations with the nation who humiliated her so seyind by the bombardment of Valparatso, and @ solution of the dificuities ia still far in the future, An important society has been formed in Santiago for the purpose of improving the breed of horses in vhis country. A capital of $50,000 nas been sub- scribed, and a farm rented for the object of carrying out the designs of the ee The native horses gre very excellent in Chile, and owing to the quan- tity or fine imported stock in the country crosses have been made that show very superior speed. An American gentieman, residing in Santiago, recently brought out jour horses from the United States, two trotters and two Kentucky runne! that, so far, have distanced all the antagonists aa have met. ‘The society referred to purchased these horses, and prapose raising & cross irom them with the Argen- and English blood stock owned in the country. Tois, with the Acclimatization Farm established in the capital, are destined to be of great service, and will ibtless give us stock hardly inferior to that of land and the United States. In this excep- tional South American republie, where the roads are wonderfully good, riding and driving are the chief amusements of foreigners and natives. The Peravian naval division, consisting of the two and their transports, were stil in Talca- xpected to leave shortly for Callao, in reach that port in time to celebrate the an- niversary of the Peruvian victory of the 2d of May. ‘They stould have visited Valparaiso on the 3st of March to view the town that four years ago received such punishment at the hands of those who after- wards suffered in Callao. ‘The ships are reporiéd to be in fine order, and have attracted very general at- tention. The presence of a squadron of seven Peru- vian vessels, three of them formidable iron-clads, gives us @ respectful idea of the naval force of our neighbor, and shows us that in spite of her prover- bial extravagance she has at least something to show for her expenditure. ‘The Chilean navy is a source of mortification to the country, and although the Chileans are generaily better sailors than the Peruvians, yet no opportunity is given to our officers and men to gain such valuable experience as that acquired by the crews of tuls di- vision that has made its tiresome way from New Oricans to Valparaiso. The news fromthe Araucantan frontier reminds one of the intelligence that was current in Washing. ton duri the war respecting the state of affairs along tne line of the Potomac. All is reported to be ae but skirmishes, attacks and raids are of every jay occurrence, and the government troops have been very roughly handled on more than one recent occasion. The Indians are so numerous and so un- pleasantly irregular in their movements that the general commanding the national forces finds it excessively difficult to meet them at an advantage. Orelie, the self-appointed Emperor of the Arau- canians, 18 very energetic and loses no opportunity of harassing the enemy. Infact, the oply mode that can be followed by the government authorities ts the extermination of the Indiaus, thereby openiig to civilization probably the richést portion of Chilean territory, and dolug away with a race of men who-e dogged obstinacy to progress and humanity render them worthy only of such afate. The devermina- tion of the government is fixed, and time is alone necessary to carry !t into execution. Owing to the religious ceremonies of Holy Week and the attendant absorption of ail attention by the churches but little business has been travsacted, Now that these solemn jestivities are over buyers are commencing to arrive, to lay in their winter stocks, and we hope to see @ speedy improvement in the market. In American dry goods a very considerable demand is noticed, and that branch of business is Beonsiing very profitable and general here, But little wheat or coffee produce ha$ been ex- ported, California having been of great prejudice to Chile in the former, and losses have been so heavy In the latter that both are steadily declining. Valparaiso 1s, however, gradually beaming with the mania for joint stock speculations, and shares of every conceivable company are in the market. Min- ing companies are also in extensive operation. Quite @ number of English and French men-of-war are in port, but no American yesseis have as yet made their appearance, THE NATIONAL GAME, Star vs. Eckford=The Amateurs Victorious. The young Stars took another whack at the pro- fessionals yesterday and warmed their adversaries nicely. For four innings they knocked the Eckfords around the field as in sheer sport, asa cat would play with a mouse, and never a run would they give them. At the opening of the fifth the chilly atmos- phere and the momentarily threatening rain ais- wirbed their equanimity and the Eckfords, takin; advantage of it, ran Off with afew.
