If thia ia the way our senatqrs and rcpre Bentativcs undcrstand Ycrmnnt, it would bo a good idca for theni to eccuro an catly adjournmcnt, come liomc, and mlngle with tbeir constituents a llttlt!. Thc Indiana negrocs arc nll for Morton, and oppoBed to Bristow. Thcir opposltlon to Brlstow is founded on rea6on, ns witness the statcmcnt of onc of thcirlcadera : "I'ee " no use for dat man. IIc am gonc elean " back on dc parly. I done gib hlm up " wbcn ho 'eposo Babcock " MoU as scn iblo as the oppoBition to Brlstow usually is. He " 'epose Babcock," and tbat makes hlm obnoxious to certain mcn and news papers wo wot of. Tbey arc a lltllo shy, however, of giving tho ical reason, while thc darkcy 1s outspokcn. Tho Ilalelgh Sentinel dcmocratic says tbat "It is timc for southcrn men to stop " making cringing speeches. Thcy arc the ' pccr of those who hall frum Maesachu " setts, Maine, Vermont, or any other ' frozen puritanlcal Ijtltudo." The Senli- nel ovidcntly ia not over fond of Blalne, Fryc, Hoar, l'ierco and Joyce. It mlghl like Hendec and Dcnlson bcttcr, if they cver darcd mako thelr prcsenco or scntl mcnts known. If it wero not for tho flrst district, lt would ncver be known from nnythlag that transplrcs thcre, tbat Ver mont was cvcr entitlcd to n rcprcecntatlvc ln congrces. Tho news of tho promotion of William II. Barnum, Connecticut great absentec, has reached Washington, and Georgo W.

" And tho rcsponso from tho thlrd district seems to bo, that n rcprcsentative ln congress is desircd to attcnd to thc in tercsts of tho Lamoille valley radroad, not to bo present ln hU placo in congress, not to voto on important incasurcs, alwayB providing hc is not unmindful of drawlng hls saiary, so that tbo Lamoille valley road may be attcnded to at tbo expcnso of thc Unltcd States, and withnut chargo to tbe stockbolder6, or tbc rceldcnts on its llne. llo only asks a thlrd term. Baruum got a United Btates scnatorship. Georgo W. modest, and sbould be rcwardcd. In an oration, or sermon, dellvercd at Charlotte, North Carolina, Memorial day, ltev.

TIIE EFFECT OF THE CENTENNIAL EX U1BITI0N. Tbo Ccntcnnlal cxblbltlon has now becn opened and "prcsonted" in duo form. Thc flagi bavo becn unfurlod, tho cannon flrcd, tho belli rung, tho little ipccchcs made.tho hytnua ung, nll tbe lnstruments playcd, tho "blg englne" starled, and all thc ma chlnery sct lu runnlng ordcr, and actually running ; and lt now rcmalns to bo eccn nbcthcr thero vrilt bo tbo antlclpatcd rutb of vlsltors, nnd, If so, whetber lt wlll haro tho prcdlded rcsult of giving a frcsh Im pelus to buslncrs, and ln revlvlng trade. Wo ccrtaluly trust that such antlclpatlons may bc rcalized, and tbat tbo prcdlctcd rc sult will follow, but we grcatly fear tbat tho country will bo doomed to dUappolnt mcnl. Tho grcatcst actual ?aln to tho country would bo from n largc Influx ot forclgn vle. Itors, for what mouey they would brlng wllh thcm would bo an actual increaso to tho wcaltb of tbo country, not a mcre cir culation, or shlftlng of possesalon, from ono part of tho country to nnothcr, or from onc Individual to annthcr. Thero is noth Ing, aa yct, to Indlcatc any euclt "rush" of iorclgu vlsltors, and the pas9engcr lUts of tho occan stcamcrs show no Incrcaic ln the numbcrs coining to thia country over thoso of thc samc datcs In formcr ycars It is truc tbat tho cxhlbltton Is but just opened, and that it is ton carly to look for forclgn vlsltors, but arc thcrc any indlcations that tbctldeof trnvcl, from Europe, will set Amerlcawards 1 itcr ln tba scason ? If a "nnh" was autlcipatcd, If tberc wcro any indlcations of euch an crcnt, wc should look to Bec thc ecvcral llncs of occan stcam crs making prcparatlons tbcrcfor. But tho sumnier arrangcmcnis are all pcrf ected; thcy arc substantlally tho samo as licrc- toforo ; und rlearly elnw that, at Icast, thoso having theso llncs ln chargc aro not cxpectlng, or providing for, moro than tbe usual nnmbtr of vlsitors to thls country. Notwithstandlng tho probabillty, almow ccrtalnly,that thero w 111 be no extraordinary, or cven unusual, nutnbcr of Europcan vls itors, thero will be, unipicstlonably, a largo numbcr of our countrymen in constant at tcndaocs on tho exhlbltlon. Tho pcrson ncl of thcsc will, of coursc, vary from day to day, and from week to wcek and thc moro tho mcfricr, and moro llvcly will monpy clrculuto nnd chango hands. Tho preecnt Indlcations, 'however, aro that tho numbcr of thecu vlsltors will not bo as largo as was antlclpatcd eatlier ln tho sca sou. The rallroads Imvc not held out tho lnduccmcuts for travtl tbat was cxpcctcd of thcru. Thcy bavc, to be sure, reduced thcir rate?, but not sufllc'ently to attract a largc travcl. Thls may yct be done, or tho prcfcut "rallroad war" may Invlto travcl, whlle fares aro at thelr present ratf; but wo fcar tbat further concesslons will not bo made j and that, moreovcr, instead of taking advantogeof present competition, the majorlty will preferring ln any cvent, if thcy visit PhiUdelphia at nll, to do II later in tbc season awalt a atill further rc dtictlon a a result of tbc Irrcprcssiblo rall road conflict, and, in tho cnd.not co at nll. But grnnling that we nrcall wrong j that witb or without a further reduction of farc, the tldc of travel will set stcadily rhlladel phlaward j and that tho crowd of vlsitors will cxceed cven the most sanguino cxpcc tatlous, what will bo ita rcsult on trndo and bosiness ': It secms to us that ItseiTect can bo but temporary. Undoubtedly, for tho tlmc bclng trade will be llvcly, nnd money clrculate freely and for thls lct us all bo iluly thankful. Mouey is undcniably "tight" and bard to get hold of, and thoso of thc masses who tako tbe money to visit tho cxhlhltion will do so at tho pricc of moro rigm rcircncumcnt nnd cconomy 'icreaftcr. Thc impetus tcmporarily glven to trado will, from tho Batnc causo, glie place to a corresponding dcpreesion al ways providing that busincss docs not rc- vlvc, of itsclf, for rauses enllrclK outslde of tho cxhlbitloa. It Is said, however, that thcre is moro money west than east, and tbat the ten of tlmusands of wcstcrn visit ors will brlng portlons of thia money with thcm, thuB producing an "equallzlng " elTect." Wo fall to eco the forco of the argumcnt, for tho complalnt has bcen all along, and thc complamt ia not unfounded, that thc tcndcncy of money has becn to flow eastward and becomo lobked up, and a glut, at tho money centcrs. If tho com pl.dnt is wcll founded, and wc bellcve that lt is, the rush of vlsitors from tho west could but rcsult lu an Increaso of tbls ten Jency, and tho money tbus cxpcndcd would Ecrvc to draln thc west wltbout per mancntly cnnchlng tho east. For all Ihis, wc bellcve that tho ccntcn nlal exhlbltlon will prove a good lnvcst. ment for thc country, tbat lt will bo wortb mucb morc than it bas, or will, cost In tlmc, labor and money. Its practical beneflts will conslst in thu stimulus it will afford to tbought, luvcntive genlus and en terpriso ; in tho bcalthy compotilion that wdl bo awakcncd ; In the gencrous cmula tion that will bo stirrcd up in Iho diffcrent scctions of tho country as to whicb ehall do and produco Iho bcst and the most ; in the practical thoughts nnd Ideaa whlcb will bo suggcstcd ; and ln tbe love of, and prlde in our country whlch will bo devclopcd and strengthened. Theso rcsults -will bo, not only immcdiate, but lastlng, and wc shall cx perlcnce thcir cffects for all tlmc. In rom parison with theso, mcro present money valucs aro of little wortb. ln thls is tbe glory, and In thls will be tho euccesa of tho ccntcnnlal exhlbltlon. Pohtical Notes.
