10 “CENTENNIAL SCANDAL. Are Awards To Be Granted Which Were Never Sanctioned by the Commission ? GOODS TO BE EXAMINED IN NEW YORK An Investigation Wanted—Interviews with Com- missioners and Ex-Judges of Awards, — Pustavetvuta, Fob, 27, 1877, Some time ago the assertion was made in several Rewspapers iu New York that, notwithstanding the Centennial Exhibition had closed in November last, ex- aminatiors of exhibits, with the view of giving further awards, were still in progress, One jourual expressed Abe matter as follow A QURSTIONABLE PROCEEDING. vod that some dissutistied Centennial exhibits pring tor awards, and expect by bu he weakness or wickedness of som lat can be tramped up cominission show od directing the judi and to close their Notwit! et he ution was no wew ca pr belore November Is rumored, the two men in Phi that 3 to ene work ‘ this, Director ral” appointed examune other exhibits, and the ta shadow of law oF ri, But, worse still, iti ing wirendy had two awards, ig Jertain clured aw hese pu that a honse in New York ix clamoring fora third, and it is alleged that the Director men 9 to examine the goods in nd report to him, ‘This stucement w but for tacts reliably vouched fur. it ix to be hoped that the United States Cen- fennial Commission will thorouzhly investigate this matver Bud braud the outrage us it deserves. When the Hrnap correspondent called upon General Goshorn to ask if such a surprising state of affairs really existed, that official finally admitted that two of the ex-judges on sewing machines ‘might’? havo vis- jted the New York cetablishment of a certain sewing ma- chine company to resume their functions and to make additional examinations of what purported to be their Centennial exhibit, When asked if they “might”? have done so in compliance’ with bis request, he answered Vuut he bad written a letter which “aight” have led ibem to do it, ‘The correspondent held in his hand a copy of tho pflicial journal of the Centennial Commissfon. Under the date of November 11 he found the following:— On motion the toliowmng resolution was adopted:— Resolved, That tho judges on upp hereby in- structed not to receive any inore cases, and close all now deture them on or belure the 14th duy of this mouth, at twelve o'clock noon, The old jadges of award had been discharged and paid, and this dischurge of the judges on appeals (who had been appointed to rectify omissions made by the regular judzes) meant, therdfore, the final conclusion, once and for all, of olliciai examinations of Centennial goods, With this in mind the correspondent asked the Director General by whose authority and by what fight judges had been reappointed and ordered to make Aduitivnal eXaminulions two months alter the close of the Exhibition, in face of an explicit order of the com- mission neither to continue their examinations bor 10 feceive new cases, Mr, Goshorn explained at some length that he considered that a resoiution of the Ex- ecutive Committees empowered him to close up the business of the Exhibition, and that the application of the sewing machine company for a third uward—they uiready having two—bad been for some unavoidavie reuson misiaid and unattended to, AS this scemed to be about all Mr, Goshorn bad to tay, the HuKALD man called upon Mr. Coleman Sellers, the well known munutacturer of machine tools, and formerly a judge of awards, ‘This gentleman’ had also made an examination of several cases ot foreign exhibiis since tue close of the Exhibition, by request ot the Director General, He had not favored an award, however, in these cuses, because Le did not think they deserved it. ‘The following jnterviews with gentlemen interested Bppeur to establish the iacts:—First, that examina- tions of Ceutennial gooas, or what pretended to be wuch, have been made in Philadelphia and New York by order of the Director General two months atier the slose of the Exhibition; and second, that im the opinion of those competent to judge such ¢xamina- Hons were entirely unwarranted anu ‘a usurpation of she (unctions of the Cenienuial Commission. Lt lurther Appears that if uwards aro issued based on these re- orts, there Will be a protest by several Centennial Commissioners, and an investigation at a special mect- ing of the Commissioners, INTERVIEW WITH MR, B.

INTRKVIEW WITH HON, ORESTES CLEVELAND. Your correspondent recently bad an interview with fou. Orestes Cleveland,ex-Mémber of Congress, Pre: dent of the American Institute, and United States Con- tennial Commissioner of New Jersey, He was found at the office of the Dixon Crucible Company, in Jers ot which concerv he is tue Vresient. Mr. Ch bas always been one of the most influential metubers of the commission, aud to him more than to any other he nan is due the credit of Laving secured the pas- gauge through Congress while be was a member, of the original acts constituting the commission and the Board of Finance, and which lully committed the government to the great Centen- dial enterprise. ‘Ihe bills when first presented to Con. © very defective, and It was mainly through f. Cleveland's instrumentality that they were so ‘mended as to make them elective. He was tne au- shor ot the amendment to jon 7 of the act of Jun 1, 1872, which provides that “the commission shail up- point all judges and examiners and award all premi- ums.’ It was, therelore, natural to suppose that Mi Cleveland, if any one, would know what was Origimal intention of the uct in this regard, and whether the commission had ever delegated its au- thority to “appoint judges and examiners and award premiums’ to any committee or oiflicer. Coxresronoext—!'here have lately appeared | public prinis certain charges relative to the ma: ment of Centennial affairs since the closing of the Ex- bibition, awards is unnecessarily delayed, and Ub judge: poods have been made since November 14, when the commirsion ended the labors of the judges; that these eXaminations have been made in distant cities, and that awards had been or were to be issued by uoau- thorized personsp bused upon these reports. What is your opinion relative to tue right of any person, com- mittee, officer or authority ower than the Centenuial Commission to appoint judges and decree awards? Mr, CLiveLasp—I am surprised that you should ask such # question, or that there should be any douvt upon the subject, The act of Congress is too piain to aire any explanation, ii Feat) DELEGATION OP POWER, Corresroxpet—Then if the commission would not pormit the Executive Committee to exercise nny super- vision over the awards while the Exhibition was open, is 6 probable that the Executivs Committee would be allowed to usurp id asain this autpority alter the Exhibition was closed ‘Mr, Oueve.anp (complacently)—By no means, If Executive Committee are doing anything of tho nd they are clearly trespassing upon the supreme authority of the commission, and when the time comes their unwarranted acuion will be reviewed and, doubt- oe ee ee paxt-—-Bat wappose General Gosborn, since some of the It bas been stated that the issuing of the | orig have been altered; that examinations of | ‘NeW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, the close of the Exhibision, instructed two gentlemen — one 4 resident of New York and one # resident of Port. Jand, Me. —to examine the exhibits of a certain sewing machine company, the goods being in their warerooms: in New York city, a hundred mites from the Ceuten- ; nial Grounds. Suppose, further, that this examination was made two mouths alter the close of the Exhibition and that the judges bave written a report which is Dow in possession of the Director General, to be issued by Tim as an award without the commission having suac- tioned or decreed 1? Mr, CLaveLaxyp—Do fos mean to say that General Goshorn has done anything of the kind? CoRkkSPONDENT—I Mean to say just that, and more, ‘This same sewing machine company are scheming tor uot simply one, but for two awards, in addition to the two they iegally obtained from the commission belore the Exhibition closed, Mr. CLEvELAND—What you say throws a little light yesterday from a representative of the ——— company. He came here and submitted to mea draft of an award, and wanted to know if I bad aby objection to its being granted. Conkksrospext—Precisely, Tho game ts being played very shrewdly, You will remember that one of the last nets of the commixsion betore they ad- journed iv November was to reiuse an award to the Sowing Machine Company. Mr. CLEVEi.AND—I see; but 1 don’t bolieve they will succeed, 1am glad you have totd me this little bit of inside history, Vil tuke steps to bave my indorse- ment crased from the back 94 that paper. CoRRKSPONDENT—The Executive Committee will meet at the Continental Hotel, in Philadelphia, on Wedues- day, the 28th inst., apd’ it is then proposed ¢o Issue these two bogus awards to tho company, Mr. CuxVeLaxp—I think uot. 1 shall try and be in Philadciphia on that day ana prevent such 4 consum- mation, Corresvospsest—General Goshorn was informed long | ago of the attempts at bribery by this company, and the only wonder 18 that, witb al! tbe tacts belore him, he bas not reiused to countenance them. But tue mory he bas been told the strouger has been his chain- pionship of their cuuse, Lf any one cao offer a tur expianution of bis conduet they way. Mr, CheveLaAND—You came here to interview me, but! find you know wore than! do, ‘Teil me, do you know of auy otuer exunvitors beside the —— sewing Machine Company who are following 11 their devious footsteps? CorxEsponpENT—I know this mach, that the Di- rector Generul requested a gentleman iu Fhiladeiphia, Who 15 up eX-judge of awards, to make quite a number | of examinations o: goods in Puiludeiphia alter Novem- ber 14, preparatory to grauting ther uwards; but whether this gentleman wrote any reports, and whether any awards are to be issued by the Director Geucral to cover these cases, the Director General aloue knows, INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL 3NRIL, The Heraxp correspongent found General John Me- Neil, Commissioner ior the State of Missouri, at tne St ‘Nicholas, when the following interview took lace . ConresPoxoeNt—General, has the Director General or the Executive Committee any autbority to issue or grant any awards that bave not frst been passed upon and decreed by the commission General McoNxit—Wohy, certainly not, 1s there any- thing of that kind going on ConnesvonpeNt—Thav’s the rumor, It 1s stated that the Executive Comnmitice or the Director General pro- pose to manutacture quite a number of additional awards, which the commission never sanctioned, and in some cases to grant awards that were especially re- fused both by the Committeo on Appeals and by the commission, General MoNet~-Well, I don’t think they bad hetter do anything of that Kind, The comuission belore adjourned stopped everything of that character, aud discharged all the judges, Who could make the ex- aminations or wrive the reports? Cornesroxprxt—Oh, tbat has veen fixed. Tho Director General has requested several gentlemen, and some of thei in New York, to make examinations and write the report General McNxit—But he bas no right to do that. The law specilically requires the Ceotennial Commis. sion to appoiut ull the Judges and to decree the awards, As } sald Ueiore, We, stead Of apporting Hew judges, divcharged all the old ones prior to our adjournment, You can rest assured that the commission will not allow any ove toassume and exercise its functions, ‘This matter of grauting awards is a serious one, und if any of these bogus things, such as you have men- tioned, are set afloat the commission will repudiate them und eall those to account who have been insiru- inental in coucocting them, Corresroxpxxt—But suppose a final meeting of the commissivn, through the machinations of those who are interesied in promoting it, 13 never heidy You kuew there is & move of that kind on foot, The secre- tary of the Director General hus stated that be did not believe another mecting would ever be heid, Gonerul MON ui —Never iear. ‘the commission will meet, and if there bus been anything wrong going on it Will be investiguted ana righted, Other Centennial Commxsioners with whom tho Henao correspondent spoke expressed the same in- dignation as Mr. McNeil at thw uction of the Ex- ecutive Committee. THE BRIDGEL GILLIGAN MYSTERY. IF THERE HAS NOT BEEN FOUL PLAY, THEN WHAT HaS BECOME OF THE MISSING Woman? Among the tenantwof the dingy brick building No, 6 First avenue, corner of Thirveenth street, is ono Thomas Boylan, brother of the missing Bridget Gili- gnu, who suddenly disappeared from the premisea on oF about the 16th of April, 1876, and has not been heard from since, Mra Gilli- gan bad occupied a tenement on the sec- ond floor tor a considerable period with her brother, one Michael Boyian, who is at present under the cure of his younger sister, Mrs. Woodrull, of St Mark’s place, ‘Thomas Boylan had a tenement on the upper floor, Several of the tenants at No, 216 recollect having talked with the missing woman at and avout Easter, which fixes the date of her disappearance as having taken place neur tho middio of April, One of the witnesses states positively that be saw and talked with Bridget Gilligan on the Sunday before Easter, April9. He cannot state categorically what day of the month it was, or what month it was, but, with a Catholic’s habit of reckoning from ccciesi- asticul landinarks, he is certain that the eonversation occurred on the Sunday preceding the Easter festival. Her neice states that she disappeared in tue latter part of April; her sister, Mrs, Wooarutt, of St. Mark’s place, 18 DUL positive as to the dute, und waintuins a strict silence us to dirs, Gilligan’s ‘affairs, beiug fully con- Vinced that it js no business of the newspupers to in. quire mto euch mysteries, Thomas Boylan, upon whom the representative of the Henatp cailid yester- day alternoon with w view to obiam somo data leading to solve the mystery of Mrs, Gitigan’s disappearance, Was found im the basement of tuo building Vreaking up roluse bourds with an cugelecs axe, A gray-huired old woman, cudaverously pale, haggard-cyed und of sinister aspect, Was standing by with anarwtutof kindiegs. ‘ue basement was ay dark as twilight’ merging into night—low-rooted, crypuike and suggestive of coilius packed away in mii- dewed catucombs. A study for such up arust as Dor: was presented the Dlear-eyed old ina cown his axe «nd came forward ip to the request ior u moment’s conversation, While the pallid old woman eyed the intruder with @ suspicion Vhat was a Little ukin to terror, “1 can’t say when she went away,” replied Thomas Boylan slowly after re- ceiving an ocular telegram irom his companion; and there Was something in his manner as it he were re- peuting by rote, “L expect tw see Bridget come in Ymost any day” —after another teegraphic giavce from the haggard eyes gleaming im the background. “+L can’t teil you anything moro about it”? Aad the old mun picked up bis rusty axe and went on doggedly with bis work, It appears trom the concurrent testimony of the ten- ants at No, 216 and irom the statements of her rela. tives that Mra Giligan was ip the habit of going out to work wtodd jobs and of remaining tor periods varying trom one to three weeks witpout avvising her relatives asto ber movements, Sho wus very ret- cent as Lo her affairs, very acquisitive aud parsimon: ous, and hud thus managed to wccumulute avout $4,000, Her disappearance, owing to the reticence that sho always maintained and to her habit at veing absent for days together, bad continued for sevaral weeks without exciting either gossip or mquiry; aud when the neigh+ bors cotmmenced Lo canvass the subject the necessury clews bud already faded from their recollection, Was IT A NURDERY On Monday night, Fevruury ly, Sheriff Bernard Reilly called on Captain McCullagh, at tue Seventeenth precinct station house, but, that officer being absent, his suspicions remained for the gight undivulged, Captain = MeCullagh called on the Sherif on fuesday morning at bis residence, No, 32u East Thirteenth street, and was iformed that Mich«el Boyian was suspecied of the muruer of his aged sister, Mrs. Bridget Gilligau, who had mysteriously disappeared in April last, A careful investigation was | tmmediately set ou fvot by the Captain, assisted by Sergeant Rooney and the Sherif; wod ov breaking | open the door of the old man’s room an old Jeter press was found near the window, upon un- screwing which four bank books, wrapped in an old newspaper, were brought to light.

An old dress and Shawl belonging to the missing woman Michacl Boylan, who was absent when the procecaings were instituted, was arrested on hig return bome and taken to the station house.

Wasu:nc rox, Fab, 27, 1877. In the Senate to-day Mr. Sargent, of California, from the Joint Special Committee on Cuineso Immigration, submitted a report, and it was ordered that it bo printed, together with the testimony. Alter referring to the resolutions creating {t the re- port says:—In conducting the investigation required by the resolution the joint committee visited the Pactfic coast and examined 130 witnesses, The testl- mony so taken covers over 1,200 pages of printed mat- ter, and embraces the views of all classes of the com- munity and every variety of interest. ‘Ine commitice found a great diversity of opinion, resulting from diferent standpoints of the witnesses who were ex- amined, In conducting this examination the committee di- vided thetr work so as to first hear perzons opposed to the unlimited introduction of Chinese, and to this Dranch of the subject a limited time was given, They then heard the testimony o! persons favorable to such introduction, and concluded by affording time tor witnesses in rebuttal. Although the subject by this means was pretty fully covered, and the inquiry, perbaps, exkausted, tho conclusion to be drawn from the mass of testimovy may be different to diferent minds, In the opinion of the committee it may be said that the resources of California and the Pacitic coast have been more rapidly developed with the cheap and docile labor of Cuimese than they would have been without this element, So far as material prosperity is concerneg, it cannot be doubted that the Pacific coust has been a great gainer, This 1s true, at avy rate, of tho capitalist classes, Ifthe inquiry should stop there, if it should be satis- fled by the certainty that moncy 1% made out of the present condition of things, and not look to the present or future, moral or political welfare of our Pacitiu States, 1b must be conceded, wt least, that many enterprising ‘wen lind then profit in Chinese im- migration, and the general resources of tne Pacilic are boing rapidly ‘developed by means of Chinese labor, who largely employ Chinese or are interested 1n their transportation, aud who find ® profit therem, These testitied tht the resuits of Chineso immigration bad been invariably beneficial in enhancing the material prosperity of the coust; but some were not entirely clear that there Were not social and moral evils spring- jug irom this immigration, which in the future would counterbalance the advantages gamed by the present rapid production of wealth, Upposition to any movement restricting the Immi- gration of Chinese was ulso developed among religious teachers, who testified before the committee that the presence of Chincse amovg us imposes u duty and gives an opportunity of Clristianizing them, VIEWS OF ARTISANS AND LANORERS. On the other hand, the committee found that labor- ing men and artisans, perbaps without exception, were opposed to the influx of Chinese, on the ground that hurd experience bad shown that they ure. thereby’ thrown out of employment and the means of decent livelihood ure more difficult of acquisition, But the opposition to Chinese immigration was not confined to juvoring meo and mechanics. In the testimony will be tound that of lawyers, doctors, merchants, divines, judges and others in large numbers, speaking of their own ob- servation and veliol, tout the apparent prosperity de- rived from tho presence of Chinese 1s deceptive and unwholesome, ruinous to our Jaboring classes, promo- tive of custe und dangerous to iree institutions, OPINIONS OF MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES. In the progress of their suvesiigation the committee called before them the municipal authorities of San Francisco, including the execuuve, legislative, health und police departments, to asceriaim the numbers, habits and modes oi life of the Chinese in Sun Fran- cisco, The pumber of adult Chinese dents in that city averages at present during ayear about 35,000, The testimony shows that the Chinese live in filthy dwellings, upon poor food, crowded together im narrow quarters, disregard: health and tire ordinances, and that their vices ure corrupting to the moruis of the city, expecially of the young. Among the testimony will bo found that of some twenty operatives, numbering nearly as many trades, in Which details ure given in reiation to diller- ent industrial pursuits whic are either monopolized by the Chinese or are fast becoming so, This evidence shows that the Chinese nave reduced wages to what would be starvation prices tor white meu und women, und engrossed So much of the labor in the va- rious callings that there is a lack of employment tor whites, und young meu are growing up in idloness while young women willing to work are com: pelied to resurt to doubtful moans of support, The hardships resulting especial weight upon women. It is also shown that this distinctive competition in some branches of labor operates as a conunual menace and inspires foar that the establishment of these ruin- ously low rates will extend to all employments und do- grade ull white working people to the abject condi- tion of a servile class, From (ns cause, among others, bas. sprung up a bitterly hostue fecliug toward the Chinese, which has exhibited iiselt sometimes in laws and ordinances of very donbutul propriety, und in the abuse of individual Cninamen and sporadic cases of mob violence, The in fluence of the better class of society 13 thrown against all violence toward the Chinese, although those exercising that iuilueoce may be convinced that the presences of the Chinese in Caltiornia is un- desirable. As long as tuere 1s a reasonable hopo that Congress wil apply a remedy fur what 1s considered 4 great and growing evil, violent measures against the Chinese can be restrained, ‘THE CONFLICT OF RACES. To anyone reading the testimony which we lay be.ore the two houses it will become painlulty evident in time becoine either American or Mongolian, There is 4 Vast hive trom which Chinese immigrants may swarm, und circum- stances may send them 1 enormous numovers to this country. These two forces, Mongohan ond Americas, ‘wre wiready im active opposition, They do not amalgamate, and alt conditions wre op- posed to any assimilation, The American race ts pro- gressive and in favor of a responsivle representative government, The Movgolian race seems to bave no desire for progress uud to have no conception of represcentauive aud iree institutions While conditions should be lavorubie to the growth aud occupancy of our Pucitle possessions by our own people, the Chinese have advantages Which will put’ them far u advance im this race for possession, They can sabsist where the American would starve, ‘They can Work for wages which will not tur- nish the barest necessities of life to un American, They make their way in California as they h€ve in tho islands of the sea—uot by superior torce or virtue, or even industry, although they are, us 4 rule, indus- trious, but by revolting characteristics and by dispens- ing with what have become necessities in modern ¢iy- ization.

Upon the point of morals there 18 no Aryan or Euro- pean race Which is not far superior to the Chinese as @ class. Full and interesting details of Chinese morals and babits in ther own couniry will? found in the testimony july warranting this assertion, That tes- Uimony comes from inveiligent travellers, ship cape tains, merchants, and others, and sume of it is tvo revoltug for ‘miscellaveous reading, But it wus proved satislactorily that tue Chinese morckauts in Sau Francisco aro bonorablo iu their dealings witu other merchants, The only tes- timony affecting the tutegrity of this comparatively small class was that they evade, to a cunsiderabie ex- tent, the United States revenue laws. ‘There is no intermarriage between the Asiatics and the Caucasian race. ‘The presence of the Chinese discourages and retards white immigration to the Pacitic states, This clearly appeared in evidence, and probably arises trom their monopoly of farm abd wechanical work through the Jow price of their lavor, making subsistence dillicult to procure by the poorer class of euigranis, WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH THE BALLOT. Itiurtuer appears, irom the evidi at the Chi- nese do not desire to become citizens of Luis country, aud have wo kuowledge of or appreciation for our iu- gtitusions, Very few of them learu to speak our lan- guage, ‘they do not desire the baliot, and there is danger that it they bad it their “head inex’? would con- trolthe eale of it im quautines large enough to de- termine any election, ‘That it would be desiractive to the acide = Stav to put the ballot in their hands was very generally believed by the witnesses, ‘Vheir want o: knowledge of our language and institu. tious would prevent aa intelligent exercise of suilrage, while their uumber in Caliloraia at the present time 1s su greatthat they could control any election it the bullot was pat i their hands, ‘fhe number of adult Chinese 1s, at the present time, as great us that of ail the voters tn the State, or nearly reuching that nur- ber, and they increase more rapidly ‘hun the other aduit population in the States. To admit theso vast numbers of alicns to citizenship and the ballot would pructicaily destroy drepublican institutions upon toe Pacitic coust, tor the Chinese have uo comprehension of any tort of goverutment but despotism, and bave not the words in their own language to descrive in- tolligibiy Ube principles of our reprosentative system, SPRRADING TO KASTERN STATES. Chinese quarters exist in all the cities and towns of the Pacific coast, The tide of Chinese jmimigration is gradually tending eastward, and belore a quarter of a convary the difficult question tuat now arises Upou the Pacitic coust will probaly baye to be met upon the banks of the Mississippi, and perbaps on the Ohio und Hudson, Many people of the Pacitle coast believe that this influx of Chinese is a standing menace to re publican insutauions apon the Pacitc and the e: istence there of Christian civilization.
