THE EXHIBITION Secret Expenses of the Centennial Commission, ——_+--— Will the Board of Finance Pub- lish the Facts? em POLIIICS AND TilE SHOW. ee. PuitaveLpma, June 16, 1876, The exhibition at Cincinnati bas eclipsed temporarily the Exhibition at Philadelphia, Politics aro more fas- Cinating for tho presont than art and manufactures, There is a conspicuous absence of politicians trom the grounds and adjacent hotels, and though this makes no diferonce in the pecuniary receipts it causes & perceptible decreaso in tho attendance The politicians of Philadelphia constitute a large proportion of its population, and their familiar faces are missed from the Art Gallery, the Trois Frores restaurant, and the hote! porches, where ‘hey are used to sip mint juleps around small tables and disouss the Russian Malachites, the Corliss engine, the approaching nomination for sherif—repudlican, of Yourse, for a democratic sheriff is an extinct anima, ike « Pterodacty! or a Jabberwock—and wander “from frave to gay, from lively to severe." The absence of those festive personages casts a kind of gloom over the Exhibition, They are all at Cincinnati, and when T saw a demooratic statesman all alone, upon hotel porch to-day, lookingin a depressed way at the snnset, as if it were an em- blem’ of his party, I thought of Manus at the ruins of Carthage, or Mark Twain and Lord Byron in the Colosseum. Sunset Cox has written a very fine book about the Mumors of Congress, but he omitted the greatest joke of all, that bis party had beon out of power in that body for over tweive years. The Har- tranft Club, by going to the Cincinnati Convention, bas fone a great injury to Lauber’s restaurant, and ail the beer saloons are willing to put their flags at balf-mast. Another effect of the republican party exhibition upon ihis international show is that the first question asked of nsitors in the afternoon was, ‘What is the latest news Yom Cincinnati?” Tho different nominations and the manner in which they were received were posted om the telegraph bulletin boards, and there was disappointment expressed by the Triends of Blaine that tho motion for un immediate ballot was defeated, The general opinion on the Cen- tennial grounds was that this reprise might be “good for tho republican party” but was “bad for Mr. Blaine,” THe BOTTOM FACTS D¥SIRED, Tho Exhibition and the campaign will go on to- gether, and will end about the same time. It is difficult to say which will command the most attention. In tome respects the great lair will not be unlike the can- vass, Tho gravest issue of the latter will be that of personal honesty and fitness of the candidates, and the Most important question of the former concerns the Integrity and character of the management. The policy ot silence in respect to the differences between the United States Commissioners and the Board of Finance has already failed. Both parties are now dosirous to cover up tho facts, but 100 much has been already pub- lished. That there was great quarre! for authority and the control of the money invested no one can deny, and this caused the Board of Finance to submit tho qnestion to a Iarge numberof the best lawyers in the country. The Commissioners also took the ablest legal advics, These opinjons, of course, were Rot obtained without considerable cost, and yet it is now claimed that there never was any disputo of im- portance, But this denial comes too late. Every- body knows that there has been & quarrel and that there has since beon a compromise, and the “bottom facts” are demanded by the public, WHAT THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KXOW. The public has certainly a right to know what the Yoara of Commissioners is costing the Exhibition. The principal questions asked by the Board of Financo were whether the Commissioners had any Jogal right to demand compensation, and whether they had any authority in making appointments, &e The answer was “No” But now the stockholders and the States and the people are informed that all past disputes bage been amicably aajusted, and that no fu- turo differences of opinion are possitie What floes this mean? Only that the Board of Finance has consented to give these useless Commissioners com- pensation, although the highest legal authoritics say that they have no right under the acts of Congress to a dollar, There is something @pong here, Can the Board of Finageo compromise a matter of duty or tamper with ateaat? Either the Commissioners are entitied to be paid or they are not, and the public have a right to know what do- Vsion the Board of Finance has mnae Tho publie have also a right to require a statement of tho money that has already been paid for the support of the Commissioners, Thero is apparent reason which justifies the suppression of these figures. The Ameri- can people want nothing done meanly in connection with the Centennial coiebration, but they do wish sverything done above board. If the expenses of the bommission are concealed much longer thero will be Will greater reason fur complaint. Tbe appurtenances of artificial locomotion within the ground, thus tar confined to the narrow gauge rai!- ‘way and the rolling chair concern, have recetved an accession in the shape ofa curiously constructed ele. vated railway, now In operation, which connects Hor- ticultural and Agricultural halia, This air Imo seems at frst glance, to hxve but one rail, while the engine and car are both split half way up the middle, and, in this dangling position, seem to be very nicely balanced.

FREE ICE WATER yoUsTalS, The ceremonies of dedication of the free ice water fountain erected by the Grand Division of Sons of Tem- perance of Pennsylvania at Belmont and Fountain avenues, within the Centennial Grounds, were held this afternoon. In pres-nting the fountain to the Grand Worshipful Patriarch of Pennsylvania, who received it on behalf of the Order, Mr. Louis Wagner, chairman of the Centen: Committee, stated ‘that the fountain bad been erected by tke sons of ‘Temperance as their con- tribution to the Centennial celebration as illustrating the principles of the Order, related the bistory of the movement for erectinga fouatain, and said the building, the fountain and the water are here to testify \hat the temperance folks have done their part, and hero enter a protest against the and sale of intoxi- cating tiquors oy the Exhibition grounds. ‘The Grand Worthy Patriareb, 8, K. Fellon, of Philadel- phia, then raised the flag of the Order, beariDg the words “Love, purity, fidelity,” over the structure, declar- that nothing could better illustrate and demon- strate tho ntility of the temperance principles. Mr. F. M, Bradiey, of Washington, D.C, G. W. P., of the National di n, Was then introduced, lated the Pennsylvania Order on the acco! the work, declaring that the free ico water fountain was the most forcible and practical protest against the gale of intoxicating drinks on the grounds that the temperance party could have devised. Hon. John H. Roper, of Great Britam, followed. He dectared that in all the Centennial buildings no disoov- ery or invention could be found so great as the discov- ery of the fact that the Anglo-Saxon race could subsist without using intoxicating liquors, This, he said, was made known about fifty years ozo by the ostablisiment Of a temperance society in Boston, which was quickly followed by the formation of another in England, Colonel C. B. McCabe, of Virginia, and J. W. Manning, of Ontario, also addressed tho assemblage.

GRAND PREPARATIONS FOR THE NATION'S ONE HUNDREDTH BIATHDAXY—ADDRESS OF THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Centennial Celebration Committee was held last evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotol, Col- onel Rusb. C. Hawkins presiding, Unanimity and en- thusiasm marked the procecdings throughout, and the indications are that the forthcoming demonstration under the auspices of this patriotic orgunization in honor ofthe one hundredth anutversary of the nation’s birth, will be the grandest and most imposing ever wit- nesged within the limits of the Empire City. Conspicu- ous among those present last evening was Mr. Thurlow Weed, whose wise suggestion’ met in every instance ‘with the heartiest recognition. The main object of the gathering was to receive the reports of the various sub. committees chosen to make the necessary preliminary arrangements for the occasion and the carrying out of the proposed coiossal programme. Mr, Augustus Schell, of the Committee ou Ode, Ora- tion and Invitations, reported that an invitation had been extended to Charles Francis Adams to deliver the oration, but that, owing to a prior engagement, he was reluctantly compelled to deciine. The Rev. Dr. Storrs, of Brooklyn, had, however kindly consentod to deliver the oration in the Academy of Music, aud the Rev. Dr. Adama would offer up prayer. Mr. William Cullen Bryant had written an odo for the occasion which would be delivered with appropriate surroundings. General Dix had accepted an invitation to preside at the meeting. General Shaler, Chairman of the Committee on Pro- cession, Iuminations, Decorations and Folice, read a very encouraging report of the prospects of the parade The co-operation of all the available military had been requested, and the replies in every in- stance were exceedingly gratifying. Repre- sentatives of tho Irish, German, Italian and Cuban societies had signified their earnest desire to participate in the great demonstration. The Mayor would also take great interest in the proecedings, ard would review tho procession at a convenient point The report of the sub-commitice on illuminations was also very grati! g, and, together with that presented by General 8! iT, Was unanimously adopted. The Chairman of the Committee on Music mended that after the usnering of the it into Union Square at midnight of the 3d of lery salutes ehallbe fired apd church bells run; thatthen all the bends shail open the musi gramme by playing ‘Hail, Columb: followed by allegorical tabieau, firework pie then sing pro- that this shail be | or emblematic ¢ Centennial Saengerbund shall Heavens Aro Yelling,” which grand musical exercise shall be followed by another emblem. atic pyroteehnic piece and the chorus *+Hail Thee, Ata- hat Janta.” The committes recommends that other firework displays sball succeed. and that after the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner,” ‘the bands shall close the exercises with a nedley of na- tional airs, Unthe morning of the Fourth the great meeting is-to be held in the Academy of Music. Thon will be sung a hymn by Schubert, after which prayer will be said, This will be foliowed by the ode written for the occasion by William Cullen Bryant and set to muste. It will be sung by the entire assemblage. Then will succed the oration, then the “Song of 1876,” the meeting concluding With the singing of “THR STARK SPANGLED BANNER,” Mr. Henry Havemeyer, Chairman of the Committee ‘on Finance, reported and stated that every ellort was being made to render the celebration worthy the august occasion. : Aiur some discussion General Shaler moved the resolution, which was unanimously a8, pul detraying the covebration, and that the the contributors, 19 ether with shone wiready ree be published ia the daily papers from time to time as The Treasurer, Mr. Henry Havemeyer, of No, 78 Wall street, will receive subscriptions.

FRENOH WORKMEN’S DELEGATION. Two French gentlemen rosiding in New York, Messrs. L. G De Montataville and E. Sternhem, have inaggu- Fated a movement by which the French workmen's del- egation to the Centeanial Exhibition will be greatly en- tertained and practically benefited. The arrangements of the New York Reception Committee, so far as they have gone, contemplate a hearty reception of the deie- gation and thoir kindly treatm: while here. These two gentlemen have, so to speak, supplemented the ac- tion of the Reception Committee by waiting upon a very large number of the manulacturors of this and the adjoi ing States and Liscoay Rites ‘to issue an invitation to t! French workmen's delegation to visit their respective munulactories, adding to the invitation the assurance thas they will aid them im every way to come to a proper judgment with regard to the present state of the manufacturing indusiries of the United States. A vory large number of the first manufacturing houses of the States of New York, Pennsyivania, &o., bave signed the invitation. Besides being a sincere pledge of the spirit of amity in whieh the French workmen’s deputation will be recetved, this invitation will go. far to dissipate the notion at one time current In France that the coming of the French delegation was looked upon with disiavor on this side of the Atlantic, THE MILITARY ACADEMY.

Y., June 16, 1876, The greater number of the visitors who bave at- tended the annual exnminations atthe Military Acad- emy have now departed for their respective homes, and the spacious parade ground, as well xs the bal-,| conies and pariors of the hotels, present a contrast of comparative silence and loneliness with the animation and overcrowding that marked the last three or four days, Many of the graduating class left yesterday with their friends, but a sufficient number remained to make tho opening hop at Cozzens’ Hotel last night a repetition on a small scale of the gay gathering at the | Cadet ball, After the trying ordeal .of the examina- tions, to say nothing of the jour years’ course of studies, theemancipated cadet naturally desires to seek in the pleasures of home hfe, that relaxation and frec- dom to which ho has been so long a stranger.

D,, the chaplain of the academy and professor of ethics, in which he invoked tho divino blessing on the present and absent members of the association, after which the graduatos gave their attontion to the delivery of the PRESIDENT'R ADDRESS, General Tyler delivered a short and pithy oration, in the commencement of which he stated that ho did not beliove in long speeches, especially on an occarien o social reunion like the present. He reminded his hear- ors that they nad assembied to pay their annual tribute of love and respect to the country that had educated them to the profession of arms. The representatives of the past, the present.and the future of the army were there, forming the links of the unbroken chain which connected the days when, a3 he remembered It, the academy was in its infancy, to the present day of hor ‘development and success.

The young men were for the dinner, and severai gray haired professors and army officers, insisting on their youthfulness, joined them.

Fresh evidence is eaid to be in the hands of Proctor Knott’s committee, showing that the Caldwell cable message of June 1 ts spurious, and that Sickels, Cald- woll’s former business partner, and now a broker in ‘Wall street, has been in some way imposed upon by the supposed confirmatory cable dospatch of June 9, The committee would, it is further said, have made this evidence public last Monday had Mr. Blaine been on the floor of the House, but as they stand they will not give i out until Mr, Blaine is back in his seat again, THE GENEVA AWARD—MB, MEADE, OF NEW YORE, IN FAVOR OF APPROPRIATING THE UNEXPENDED BALANCE FOR THE RBELIRF or MERCHANTS AND BUSINESS MEN WHO SUF- FERED DUBING THE WAR. ‘There was a session of the House to-night for consid- eration of the Geneva Award question, the subject being discussed at length by Mr. I. B, Mende, of New York. He took strong ground against the claims ot other than the war premium mon, the merchants and business men, who were really the final and eventual losers in that dark hour for our commerce when Con- federate cruisers intercepted and made havoc with our vessels and cargoes. The inducement to seck a foreign flag was great and many years must elapro before that commerce, which is our Jawiul right, is ro- stored to us, The few remained truo to tho flag in faith of its ultimate snceess and restoration of its power, Theso few wero tho shipowners and merchants who ventured still abroad under its folds. How many of these went down in tho fnancial disnster which fol- Jowed will never be mentioned. Enormous rates of insurances, largely increased rates of freight, tailures of insurance compamies, disturbance in business arrangements and dolays in collecting insurance make up a partial list only of the aifil- culties under which our patriotic citizens suffered, while the other class of claimants which appear bo. fore us as insurers grow rich, a8 it were, out of the na- tion's distress, Ho argued the conclusion was Iinevita- ble that to those who were “the sufferers,” who sus. tained the nation’s flag and tho national honor, belong the first and highest considoration, not only in the past, but as a promise in the future, to follow the ex- amplo which has saved us the littlé which remains of the gallant marino, once the chief pride and resource of our country.

They will, however, file a paper to-morrow in which their reasons for declining to plead further are substantially sét forth, They take the ground that General Belknap ia already substantially acquitted, loasmuach as tho Senato has failed to assort by two-thirds that he is im- poachable, Tho fact that ho was or i an officer within the meaning of the constitu- tion being denied by more than one-third of the body, and that ict being an cssentini element of a logal connection he cannot be convicted, whatever may be tho opinion of the Senate on other facts of the case, Nevertheless, tho counsel say that thoy will be ready for trial on the 6th of July, and, though their client has already been acquitted, and ought in jastice be diecharged, they expect confidently that he will be acquitted again. They think ho oazht to be spared the trouble of going through the tedious and expensive forms of another trial on asnothor branch of the case. They have taken out subpoenas for 197 witnesses, Among them are Generals Sherman, Sheridan, MeDowell, Scofield, Ferry and Hancock, together with others hoiding positions in the army, heads of bureaus and staff officers, also the principal post traders and Sehators and Representatives in Congress who procured their appoiniment, and Sctiuyler Colfax, Noyes, of Ohio, and A. It. Laflin, of New York. Many of the parties are in Cullfornia, New Mexico, Wyoming, Dakota, Utah and Now Orleans. ‘The impeachment mavagers have summoned twenty- one witnesses, including Mr. and Mrs, Caleb B. Marsh and Generals Custer, McDowoll and Hazen. THE EXPLORATIONS BY HAYDEN AND OTHERS— AN APPROPRIATION ¥OR THEIR CONTINU- ANCE.

It is hardly necessary to ray that I told the obtuse handmaiden to show the gentleman up, and straightway appeared the Italian tragedian who bas given English | critics more food for digestion than they have bad for many a long day. PRELIMINARY—REPLEOTIONS. Rossi likes Americans, and !t is easy to like those who like us Rossi is very frank, very int Ngent and talks extremely well.. He has suf- fered from the climate ever since be came to England, bat his voice is now in far better condition than when he mado his début; and if he had first appeared as Romeo instead of Ham. let he would have been much better treated by the press. Romeo 1s essentially Italian in passion, and I have never seen any one in it as satisfactory as Rossi. He makes two points that are original and effective, When, in the balcony scene, Juliet is about to leave for the last time, she impulsively waves to Romeo a white searf that had been previously wound around her. The scart is long enough for Romeo to reach; seizing it, ho kisses it passionately in lieu of its loved mistress, and clings to it until Juliet, terrified at fear of discovery, withdraws it and dieappears, Tho effect is eleetrioul. The second point is ims the: sIast act, After taking the poison Romeo falls (r, ¢.) at the foot of the steps loading to Jullet’s tomb, As he lies there, almost insensible, Juliet awakes and goes down stage, dazed, unconscious of her situation, Romeo, meanwhile, revives and makes his way up the steps to take one long, last look at his bride. His amazement at finding the body gone is powerfully depicted by Rossi, who, on discovering Juliet in tho distance, 18 transfixed at what he sup. poses tobe an apparition, WIKN JOLIET SPEAKS Romeo rushes to her arms, and you can well imagine how stirred the audience becomes by this perfectly now rondering of a well worn scene, This is decidedly the best point I have seen Rossi make, but my knowl- edge of him as an actor is limited to three parts—all Shakespoarian. . THR STORY OF LIVE. But I am keeping Signor Rossi at tho door, while I am discussing bis Romeo, which is hardly polite. Sumo people need a deal of ice breaking before they thaw into fluent conversation. Life being short and art long, such people are a great trial'to one’s feelings; but Ernesto Rossi is not of them. In five minutes he was plunged in an analysis of the Anglo-Saxon charac- ter, drawing shrewd deductions from personal obser- vations; but as I much preter to have clever men and women talk about what they know better than anyone elso—themselyes—I asked tor a bit cf TPRRSONAL HISTORY, “You want me to talk about myself,” sald Rossi, in very good French. ‘‘How monotonous! But if you will, youwilL As you know, I was born in Flor. ence; as you don’t know, I was intended for the law and was sent to the University of Pisa But my heart was dedicated to tho stage and—don’t be surprisea— to your great author, Shakespeare, upon whom I had been brought up.

A MAN BUILDS A CHOPPING MAOHINE—APPLIES 4 SLOW MATCH AND CUTS OFF HIS HEAD, [From the Chicago Tribane.} Lavayerts, Ind., Jane 11, 1876 dames A Moore, aged about thirty-five, living on farm near the Farmers’ Institate, about fifteen miles south of this city, committed suicide at the Lahr House in this city last night.

Where the axe would strike he placed a small box, open on one side, in which, when found, was his head, with some cotton, which bad been chloroformed, His chin was*held up from his neck by a stick ram across the box, through holes on cither side, hoidihg his head firmly in position, H. wax aoe tightly to the fleor with two straps, o: around his legs, another about his arms and breast, The straps were both serewed to the floor, rendering it impossible to move, It is supposed that he set his axe, ht the candle and strapped himself to the floor, put his head in the box with tne chloroformed cotton, and was probably ineensible when the axo fell, The axe and fixings would weigh about fifty pounds, and would lalla distance of from ten to fifteen feet. His head was completely severed from the body and the axe buried in the beards beneath, 3 STABBED BY A MADMAN, DR, GEORGE COOK, OF THES BINGHAMTON (4. ¥.) ASYLUM, ASSASSINATED. [From tho Auburn (N. Y.) Advertiser, June 18} This morntng’s Rochester Democrat has the follow ing:—“Our citizens were mich excited by a telegram published in the Union yesterday afternoon, announo- ing that Dr. George Cook, President of the Brigham Hall Insane Asylum, was dangerously stabbed in the face and aeck, in the forenoon, by a patient named Benson, and that his condition was critical irom loss ‘of blood, Dr, Moore, of this elty, was telegraphed tor and left on the 3:25 P.

He was notcon- sidered a very dangerous patient and seemed to be getting along quite well under the treatment of that excellent institution, Benson seemed to have been impressed with the tdea that people were trying to poison mim, and had got the impreasion that Dr. Cook was endeavor- ing to administer the poison. "Yesterday morning tho Doctor, in making big usual rounds among his pationts, met Benson in his reom or in one of the hallx, Benson immediutely struck the Doctor in the neck and face witha kude. Help wag goon at hand and physicians suinmoned and sirong hopes were entortained for a time thitt the wounus would not prove fatal, All that medical and surgical skill could devise were brought to bear tn the case, but failed, and the Doctor died avout five &.

To-day Shakespeare 1s wonderfully popular in my country. My first Shakespearian rdle was Hamlet, Then came Macboth, afterward Othetlo.

After denouncing tho great Englishman Voltwre went to work and imitated bim badly in Zaire, in which part Salvini made a deservedly groat reputation; but the moment Salvini saw Othello he eaid to me:—'You are right; Zaire is puerile in comparison.’ Since then Zaire bas been dropped, and Salvini has put Othello tn | ita place.
