Swinviine THe Revenve was always a very common offence in Cubs, and it is not sur- prising that the Collector of Customs and other officers at Cardenas have been impris- oned for cheating the government. Our Custom House rings are no match for those organized by ‘‘good Spaniards.” Franoz any THE Cunrexntar.—The French people show much more interest in the Cen- tennial Exhibition than we do in New York, These friendly attentions are grateful, especially at a time when the foreign news- papers and the foreign correspondents of the American press tell us that we are going to the bad with so much steadiness and | ability. Amwyusty 1x Pants.—We do not like these demonstrations in Paris about amnesty. It Is by. ‘‘demonstraticns” like these that scan- dals are brought upon the Republic. Until the hew government crystallizes at least there should be no ‘demonstrations” of any political character, Let the republicans remember that their government is on trial ; that there is scarcely a nation in Europe that does not wish it to fail ; that the emis- saries of the Bourbons and Bonapartes could well afford to pay largely to have these “demonstrations,” and that nothing will do the Republic more good than a generation of profound peace. Empress at Last.—The Queen of England isan Empress at last, but we question, all things considered, whether Her Majesty has not paid too much for the bauble. The op- position to this title developed an indepen- flence of court influences, a resolution to criticise even the “sacred throne,” and a conviction that, after all, the monarchy was a | trapping which cannot but have an important bearing upon the future of English politics. The title of Empress was simply a fancy of the Queen. Instead of acting with the op- position in gratifying this fancy the govern- ment forced it through by the sheer influ- ence of a majority. It is safe to say that the minority, largo os it was, represented the real strength and greatness of England. Tho Queen should not take such liberties with the public opinion. This is a thinking age, and in England public thought sweeps on with incredible swiftness, we shall welcome Spain to | phia, ond not fail to share in her pride. We owe much to Spain. NEW xyUKK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 30, 1876—QUADRUPLE SHEET. The Centennial Season. | In a few days we shall have the opening of the great Exhibition which is to celebrate | ourselves to ourselves and to all the world | beside. The day named for the opening is | tho 10th of May. Our daily reports from | Philadelphia do not give us a cheerful idea of the readiness of the various departments. The foreigners are much more advanced than | our own people, This is as it was in Vienna when the American depart- | ment on the opening day was simply | & collection of unopened boxes which the royal and imperial guests did not even deign to visit. Our foreign friends, more especially the French, the English and the Spanish, have their displays in an advanced state of readiness. The American has the faculty of doing necessary things in a hurry, and we may expept wonders in ten days from a people who used in Pacific Railway times to build ten miles of the road inaday. A show as vast and varied as this at Philadel- phia is not to be seen in a day, and will re- quire some time, even after it is opened offi- cially, to enable the exhibitors to put their affairs in shape. It will be the Ist of June before we have the Exhibition in its com- pleteness. From that time until the end of the summer we shall have so many auxiliary attractions in the way of races on land and water, shooting and other matches, con- tests for supremacy in chess and games of skill and chance, not to speak of military and civil displays, that we may look fora series of attractions to continue until the cold weather comes again. Philadelphia in the meantime is putting herself in readiness for such a display as has never been seen even in that city of parades and demonstra- tions. Theodore Thomas is busy with the Wagner grand march, written by the great German master for the opening alone, and which is not to be heard, not even by ® priv- ileged few, until the hour comes. We shall have no especial ceremonies for the opening. There is an expectation that the Emperor of Brazil will be in attendance to show by his presence his interest in the country and its vast Exhibition. 2 The opening of the Exhibition will be little more than a ceremony anda mob, We do not share with our friends in Phila- deiphia their enthusiastic expectations as to the business success of the Centennial. They have done well as'a people in gather- ing together this tremendous show. As an exhibition of what we have done in a hun- dred years, and of what our brethren in the other lands have done also, it will command all praise. There will be a better oppor- tunity to see what we ourselves have done than at any previous exhibition. At London and Paris we were ruled out by competition and by distance. It was hard to cross the sea and stand any chance with nations who were at home. At Vienna our country was dis- graced by the incompetency and villany of its own agents, who sold out the honor of | their country for gain. Those, therefore, who looked at the previous shows to see what lies at the foundation of our greatness would be disappointed, Philadelphia will tell a dif- ferent story. If we do half as wellas the reports would lead us to suppose we shall have a splendid manifestation of our century of growth. Most of the States have done well. We wish New York had done better, not only in the way of contributions to the | expenses of the buildings, and so on, but in exhibits. Still we shalldo ourshare. In leather and machinery and the products of the farm we have the hope that we shall not be unworthy of our pre-eminence as the Empire State. From the West, and more especially from the Pacific, we shall have prodigious displays of natural and acquired wealth. The Pacific States come to the Exhibition with a sense of emulation. They do not think we have appreciated what they have done in the way of adding to our imperial greatness ; that wo | regard what we hear from the Pacific as travellers’ stories, and that Californians are & fortunate people who have found gold in their hills, rather than a bold, original people who have made their Commonwealth not only the greatest metal producing, but among the greatest wheat producing regions of the world. So that we must expect } from the Pacific coast perhaps the most striking exhibit of all the States. Next to the Pacific slope we expect much from Japan. It is an interesting com- ment upon the progress of this genera- tion alone that a country which was almost | as unknown as Madagascar when the Hydo Park show was opened in 1851, should claim a prominence at Philadelphia not only in industrial products but in the arts and the sciences. They will present the results of a delicate and varied civilization, As no problem is more interesting than this of Asia, and, as we shall be compelled to meet it some time or other, we may well study with care every manifestation of Oriental growth. Already wo are competing with these people as laborers and as manufac- turers of essential objects of civilization. | Therefore, what they have to show us at Philadelphia may be a lesson and perhaps a warning. The next feature of the Exhibition will be the exhibits of Spain and the Spanish lands. In the former exhibitions Spain, suffering from many causes—misgovernment, poverty, and perhaps ill-directed enterprise—made a meagreshow. Butthe Spaniards are a proud race, and they have not forgotten that they were once masters of this Continent ; that we are in the seats of a once vast Spanish em- pire; that o part of this Continent is even now occupied by the Spanish race ; that we have within our own dominions favored provinces of Philip and Charles. Spain comes to Philadelphia resolved to show her arrogant and successful neighbor, beforo whose arms and enterprise she has been compelled to retreat, the real nature of Spanish civilization. For our own part Philadel- | Nothing would give us as a people more pleasure than to seo that rich and highly favored land what it was under the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. The great nations of the world will also have their places in the Exhibition. First among them, as should be, is Great Britain. The English government has shown a generosity and good sense in dealing with this Exhibition | | which deserve all praise,, It might be thought, perhaps, that as we were celebrating the year which marks a successful rebellion against the British Crown the loyalty of England would have no part init. If any such feeling as to the Revolution lingers in the minds of the English people it did not find any expression in the treatment of the Centennial. The government and the People take part in our Exhibition with the heartiest good will. Eng- land and America meet face to face in # con- test of peace on the very spot where a hun- dred years ago they were represented by em- battled arthies. All the memories of that time have passed away, except so far as they commemorate the valor and virtue of the men who fought on one side for their king and on the other -for their country. The greatness, the real greatness of the English character, which shows itself in the prodig- ious growth of the Empire that now obeys the will of the Empress-Queen, is seen at its best in the policy which governs Eng- land's part in the Centennial; for, after all, we are an English republic, and what- ever celebrates our greatness at Philadelphia or elsewhere celebrates the nation which gave us birth and whose glory is insepar- able from our own, While the Exhibition, therefore, is the event of the season, we are glad to note also other in- dications ofa prosperous and busy time. In all branches of trade there is renewed activity. The government celebrates the Centennial time by giving us specie, and the bright, glit- tering silver pieces which come to us in drops like a spring shower seem to smile, as it were, in earnest of the good times they portend. The issue of silver, whatever the fogies who have fallen in love with the rags may say, is a practical fact which satisfies the people. While the old-fashioned cur- rency stamp is a sentiment and means the credit of the nation and all that, the silver dollar is a fact which we can melt and carve into a spoon or 8 token and sell for its value in any market of the world. Although we are in an earnest canvass for the Presidency, and show a little temper now and then over the investigations and .exposures and throat- cutting in high places, the canvass after all is full of sense and good humor. We may say that we are all going to the devil, and that unless so and so is done we may as well pass into liquidation asa republic and go back to the imperial protection which, now that Her Majesty has a new title, may be vast enough to.rule us, But we don’t mean it. There is a general sentiment in the country that the nation has lasted a hundred years and may worry along for a few more centuries to its appointed time, even if Tilden or Conkling is not elected President. And we look forward to an active but o good-humored. canvass. The democratic candidates are even now so violently in love with each other that they are all on the point of resigning in each other's favor. As to the republicans, we shall have a reconciliation there, if for no other reason than to keep possession of Uncle Sam's bread tray. The Centennial celebration, the Exhibition, the Fourth of July and the coming of so many citizens of different sections will have a happy effect and go far toward tempering the canvass. So that the prophecy made by Mr. Pierre- pont in the early glow of his realized ambi- tions asa member of the Cabinet, that we were to have an era of good feeling, may be verified. We certainly shall not feel like quarrelling over candidates and men while we are singing ‘‘Hail Columbia” and shout- ing the praises of Washington, our pockets full of silver oll the while and business brightening up in all directions. Our Paris Cable Letter. Nothing could be more interesting than the kaleidoscope review of European affairs and of men and things in Europe contained in our Paris cable letter this morning. In France the political agitation is about am- nesty and Gambetta’s financial bill. Russia is trying to settle the Eastern question in her own way, which, fortunately for Turkey, is -nobody elso’s way. Spain is seeking some way out of national bankruptcy, and the other Powers afford nothing worth relating. An interesting bit of news is the running of an express train between Paris and Constanti- nople at o lower rate of fare. This enter- prise will do more to settle the Eastern ques- tion than Count Andrassy’s scheme or Rus- sia’s policy. A funny discovery is the fact that duellists in France, like ships-of-war, are beginning to wear armor; but if the practice is allowed it will prove the destruction of the “code.” A brave man will not fight if it is impossible to kill his antagonist or get killed ‘instead. In theatrical matters little is doing in Paris. Foncitro's new opera, “Dimitri,” is soon to be produced at the Gaité Lyrique, and Gounod’s liberty hymn is pronounced a failure. It seems that “Hail Golumbia” was unequal to the de- mands of orchestration or the scorer unequal to the difliculties of ‘Hail Columbia.” Henry Stanfield, an American tenor, has made a successful début at Florence, and Miss Minnie Hauck isin Paris on her way: home. Somebody has seen Tweed in Paris, but we are afraid the Boss has no disposition to return, now ‘that he has become “The American Baron.” These and other matters will interest the reader and show the value Tue New Yorx Times charges that the re- publicans in this city have “made a politi- eal dicker,” by which the Park Department, the Finance Department andthe Police De- partment have been turned over to Tam- many Hall. This is a serious charge. Any alliance between the republicans and the Tammany people is not good faith with the anti-Tammany people, who helped them to elect their ticket last fall, giving the re- publicans the District Attorney's office and the control of the Assembly and the Senate. But, more than all, the republicans are shrewd men. They will not give John Kelly his way in these important departments of the government without some return. What, then, is the consideration? Does Tam- many mean to sell out the election for the Presidency next fall to the republicans? Was that what the Hovorable John Morris- sey had in his mind when he said in his bold, bluff, frank, manly way that he did not want to go to St, Louis to beat Tilden? The truth | Moody is not here it will be a gravo mistake, } conse to pray ond work as they have done | of Seymour, eloquent as he is, is that if Tammany Hall could name a New York President it would not do so. A New } becoming our real merchant princes in this York President would have his own ‘way | abcut patronage, and this is what Tammany does not want. The less a President knows about the inside of New York affairs the | better for Tammany Hall. A President | like Tilden would have little to do with | Sachems in making up his mind as to who | should hold the important stations of the government. pe ES See ae ee The High Tide—The Business of the ~ Herald. Our last Sunday’s Hxnarp marked the T highest tide of business ever reached by this newspaper. ‘This is an event that belongs | as much to the history of the city as to our- selves, As such we record it. Those who have watched the varying tides in the ad- vertising columns of a paper like the Herat, which represents the wishes of a community like New York, have noted that the largest newspaper business is attained about Easter. We so notice it in our busi- ness. So unvarying is this coincidence that upon comparing the files of the Henarp for some, years past we find that the largest day’s business comes in the same month and about the same day. Those who take any interest in the theory of coin- cidences will find this worthy of study as an instructive manifestation of the progress of New York. We have noticed also that while the business of the Hzraxp is, as an invaria- ble thing, larger in this season than others, each year shows an increase over the preced- ing. Sométimes we have observed the effect | of business depression, especially in the years of panic or general distress. But this year, as an evidence of the general business prosperity we note the important fact that we reached on the 23d of April the highest point ever known in the business of the Henaxp, Such papers as last Sunday’s Hxnaup and the issue of to-day are a study, especially to all who study the growth of a great me- tropolis. We printed on Sunday last 3,650 separate advertisements, an increase of about three hundred over the issue of the previous Sunday, and of about frve hundred and fifty over the corresponding Sunday in 1875. These advertisements were classified under seventy-three headings, each representing some special department in business. The real estate covered Brooklyn and West- chester and New Jersey, including three hundred and sixty advertisements. The auction sales embraced seventy-nine, pre- senting all manner of articles, from the pic- tures in Blodgett’s collection to the furniture in Delmonico’s famous Chambers street house, Religion found expression in thirty notices, while the amusements rose to seventy-six, showing that Moody and Sankey did not convert all of us, so far as the theatres were concerned. The dry goods dealers, who are republican metropolis, came into our col- umns with forty-two advertisements telling all the world what it should buy and wear. The wants numbered four hundred and fifty, and covered every department of business and employment. While ‘finan- | cial and business opportunities” were one hundred and twenty-seven—one hundred and twenty-seven ways to make money, from the lady who wanted to bor row sixty dollars ‘for three months” to the capitalist who was anxious to lend a million. In this enumeration were chances for partnerships and opportunities to buy into almost every kind of business, 4 from opening a grocery to printing a news- paper. The boarding columns showed four hundred and forty-five persons who either wanted homes or had homes to offer. ‘there were fifty-eight ‘rooms wanted” and thirty-one steamship lines to Europe and along the coast. The horse and carriage trade required one hun- dred and fifty-five advertisements, while there were forty-five special notices, from the compound which ‘removed hairs” from the faces of the ladies to that which “strengthened the beards” on the faces of gentlemen. Finally, there were ten marriages and sixty-nine deaths. The youngest soul called home was sad one month ; the oldest eighty-seven years. There could be no more suggestive picture ofthe busy hour in which we live thana journal like the Hxnato of to-day and of last Sunday. Here all the world comes hurry- ing, as it were, each voice with its own story—some in want, some in expectation, some in joy and others in distress. ‘he poet might, if he gave way to his imagination, speculate upon the voices that arise from these broad and widely-reaching pages— from the voice of sorrow which mournsa first born, to the shrili trumpet call which sum- mons us to the field of Agincourt, there to fight again with the bold King Harry and his valiant band. It is » great city call- ing out to the world. In that sense a paper like the Hxnatp of to-day and like the Lon- don Times on similar occasions has a dig- nity and a power far above that which comes from the aggregation of news and the ex- pression of editorial and critical--opinions. It is the voice of the living hour, and we see in its volume the strength and wholesome quality of that business prosperity which comes with the spring, and which we trust to see continued during this centennial year. Religious Press Topics. Onur religious exchanges have not tired yet extolling the labors of Moody and Sankey at the Hippodrome, commenting on the strong and weak points of Moody's discourses, his plain, practical and peculiar style, the fruits | of his ministry here and the discussion of methods to carry on the work. If it be true, as the Observer states, that four thousand converts attended the closing ser- vices, the meetings were very far from being ffailure. And last Sunday Dr. Booth, who took an active interest in the work, stated that one million two hundred and fifty thousand persons attended those mectiugs, and more than ten thousand as inquirers. | Notwithstanding his radicalism on the bap- | tismal-communion question, the Examiner and Chronicle is delighted with his sincerity and earnestness, with his power of illus- tration, with the extent of doctrinal truth which his sermons covered. And it is impos- sible that the effect of all this should not be widely and deeply felt. The Baptist Weekly thinks that if the work ceases now because and will give evidence that Christian people aforetime. The Independent thinks revival theology is far from being complete; never- theless, this is no disparagement to it; and now that the wave of religious excitement is subsiding and the churches are returning to the ordinary routine of religious life it gives some practical hints to the young converts and to those who may have the oversight of them. The Interior rebukes the hypercritics of Moody's style and diction, and says that when such men come along we are not to weigh them in the balances of the exact sci- ences nor measure them by the rigid rules of logic. Still, the Interior would not have | every man appoint himself a preacher. God and the Church should call them and com- mission them. Moody's ministry will un- doubtedly very greatly affect the preach- | ing class in future. In the Metho- dist’s opinion the Hippodrome meetings have rendered revival efforts respectable im the eyes of multitudes of city people. And that is worth nothing, or much, just as it is made useof. The Christian Weekly recom- mends ministers to imitate Moody in put- ting less head and more heart into their ser- mons; and the Evangelist cannot conceive that there is any antagonism between head and heart, and intellectual preaching is not less useful, it thinks, than emotional preaching. What is needed is the habit of diligent, earnest and patient study: have something to say and say it. The Christian Intelligencer is anxious to knqw what will become of all the converts made, not only here, but all over the country. If rightly trained they may become great gains to the working forces of the churches aud accessions to the future ministry. Looking backward to the revival of 1857-58, which was followed by four years of civil war, it looks forward and sees in the distance ‘the near beginning of tremendous struggles with the Papacy and infidelity and other forms of anti- Christian power.” Those Bible truths preached at the Hippodrome, though re- jected by some, were received by others, and, the Christian at Worle says, have filled the courts of heaven with anthems of joy and peeans of praise. Our London Cable Letter, Our London cable letter this morning brings the usual budget of important news and interesting gossip. The Queen has as- sumed her imperial title *and the Times is thundering away at the Empress of India ; but resistance is hopeless and the English people must content themselves to be the subjects of an Indian Empress instead of a British Queen. A funny coincidence in this matter is the double action of the politicians in congratulating Her Majesty upon the assumption of her new title and the return of the Prince of Wales. The fu- ture Emperor is not to be forgotten by the astute tory at such a, time, While this is going on nothing could be more opportune than to oppose the release of the Fenian prisoners and attribute American friendliness to Condon to political strata- gem. The probable release of Winslow under such circumstances is a singular com- mentary on English justice and English regard for international obligations. Turn- ing to lighter matters we find that Miss Dick- inson, of Colonel Baker notoriety, has not married a lord, but it will not be surprising if she is reported married as often as her famous American namesake. Miss Kate Field has madea very successful London début under the stage name of Mary Kemble. The-press is in raptures over her performance, and she is in a fair way of acquiring ao great Euro- pean reputation. Another American art- ist, Miss Emma Abbott, will make her début on Tuesday. We have fre- quently had good reports of this young lady, and she is to be congratulated in advance for not calling herself Abbottini or some equally nonsensical nom de thédtre, as is the custom with most of our singers. After the American singers and -actors in Europe the next subject, naturally enough, is the latest news in regard to the American horses in England ; but for this and other matters equally as important the reader is referred to our news letter. A Political Problem, The Evening Post, our steady and quite consistent neighbor, published on Friday a very powerful leading article on the pro- | ceedings of fhe democrats at Utica, in which it said that ‘Governor Tilden was not the real choice of the Convention for a Presi- dential candidate ;” that he received only ‘gaseous words of praise,” and that ‘Tilden was not its choice, but Sey- mour.” “The Utica Convention,” we were told, ‘evidently was not sincerely for Til- den.” Yesterday, however, the Evening Post | informed the public, in another very power- ful leading article, that ‘no one who is at all acquainted with the condition of public sentiment in this State can for a moment doubt that Governor Tilden is the choice, as a candidate for the Presidency, of nearly all sensible and honest democrats throughout the State and of a large number of those who are not strongly attached to either party.” We trust these two able articles will be fully reconciled in another very powerful leader to-morrow. Either the Post is for Tilden or itisn’t, Let it decide the dispute which its own columns have created. “Under which king, Bezonian? Speak, or die!" The Governor's ideas on this interesting matter are given elsewhere by our Albany corre- spondent. Tue Two Great Men of the New York democracy are Horatio Seymour and John Morrissey—the brain and the brawn of the party. Whata fine Secretary of War the Honorable John would make, and how lively it would be for the post traders, the army bummers, thé moth contractors and the thieves and lobbyists generally about the War Department! Of the two leaders, as they appeared at the Utica Convention, we think the Honorable John made the better impression. His address, like the poetry of Walt Whitman, was free, unconfined and sea-breezy. The Honorable John used words as he does his fists, for the expression and development of ideas. The Honorable Horatio used words in the Talleyrand sense, for the concealment of ideas. Of the two ways we like John's the best, in spite of the grammar. We know what he says when he is through. We cannot always say as much Pulpit Topics To-Day. Continuing his revival meetings in the Church of the Disciples Mr. Hepworth will present some views to-day on the gift of the Holy Ghost, by whose presence and power his meetings are made a success and souls are converted and clothed in the beautiful gurments of Christ's righteousness. But Mr. Hepworth will not cease with the Sabbath. He will press the truth home every evening during the week, making his special points on prayer, and on Thursday will have a grand praise meeting, in which the Hippo- drome choir, led by Mr. Thatcher, will take part. His neighbor, Dr. Tyng, will also push the battle to the gate by a series of afternoon and evening services this week, beginning to-day. Mr. Lloyd will exhibit Jacob's strong points in that great wrestling match in which'the patriarch morally if not physically got the best of the angel at Bethel. Mr. Lightbourn will give his hearers. some Christian experience, and Mr. Rowell will point to Jesus only, calling and leading His people and developing in them what Mr. Knapp denominates the power of Christian influence. This power and in- fluence have often been tested in the furnace of affliction, and Mr. Jutten will apply some of the tests to-day to his people, while Mr, Giles will explain how the Holy Spirit is the instructor and guide of believers, and how Christianity may be reconciled with enlight ened reason and modern scientific research, The discourse will doubtless be interesting to all who can hear it, The only,church ree vival predicted in the Apocalypse will be presented by Mr. Andrews; class meetings and their uses will occupy Mr. Thomas’ attention, and the man for the time will be painted and called for by Mr. Phelps. We fear he will have to look abroad for his man, unless the time can be postponed. While Mr. Pullman is proving that there is no such place as ‘‘outer darkness,” and that that is « mere figure of speech and nothing like thé conception that evangelical Christians have of its meaning, Mr. Kuapp will prove that there is such a place and experience, and that memory is a principal element in the woe of the lost. Mr. McCarthy, taking « farewell of the church that he has served fo1 @ year or more, will expound the Universal. ists’ creed and tell what it stands for, and prove that spiritual dry bones can live and move. Mr. Snow will call down a prophetic hail storm on the heads of the unfaithful and unbelieving. A Fir Nomrmatioy.—The Governor has answered the expectations of all friends of good government by nominating to the posi- tion of Health Officer of the Port of New York Dr. Austin Flint, Jr. Dr. Flint bears an honored name in his profession, and hag contributed to medical literature one of the most important works known to science. He is a gentleman of energy, culture and virtue. The office to which he is named is outside of politics. We largely depend upon the proper discharge of its functions for the freedomvof the city from those con- tagious and desolating diseases which have cursed it in the past. The Senate should show its appreciation. of the Governor't wisdom in selecting as good a manas Dr Flint by at once confirming his nomination PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Travel to California 1s increasing.
