ered by Key. Bishop Simpson;
"Aimiguty aud everlasting God".
our Heavenly Father, heaven !
Thy throne, and the earth ia Th
footstool; be lore Thy majesty, and
holiness the angels veil their laces, and
the spirits otthe just made Detieot bow
in humble adoration. Thou art the
creator of all things; the preserver
of all that .exists, whether they be
thrones, or domluious, or principalities,
or powers. The minute and the vast
worlds alike attest the ubiquity of Thy
presence and the omnipotence of Thy
sway. Thou alone art the Sovereign
Buler ol nations. Thou raiaest up
uue -; aud - 'tah down another .
and Thou glvest the kingdom
oi uie worm to waomsoever rnoa win.
The past, with all its records, is the
unfolding of Thy counsels and the real
ization of Thy grand design; we have
ibee as our rightful . Kuler, the King
Eternal and Invisible, the only True
God, blessed forever.- We come on this
giaa day, on Thou God of our
lathers, into these courts with
thanksgiving and into these - gales
with praise. We bless Thee for Thy won
derful goodness in the past, lor the land
which Thou gavest to our fathers, a laud
veiled for ages irom the ancient world,
but revealed to Thy chosen people for a
home; Thou didst lay, by Thy right
baud, through the billows of the deep,
land of vast extent, of towering
mountains, of broad plains, oi
unnumbered products . and untold
treasures; we thank Thee forthe fathers
of our oountry, men ot mind and men ot
might, who endured privations and sac
riiices, . who braved multiplied
dangers rather , than belie , their
consciences or be untrue to their Gdd,
men who laid on the broad toundatiou of
truth and justice the grand structure of
civil freedom. We praise Thee lor the
closing oentury, lor the founders
ot the Bepublio, tot the
immortal Washington and . bis
grand associates, for the wisdom with
which they planned and the firmness and
heroism which under Thy bleaslug led
them to triumph and success. Thou
wast their shield in hours of danger,
their pillow of cloud by day and pillow
ot fire by night. May - we,' their
sons, walk in their footsteps and imitate
their virtues. We thank Thee ior social
and national prosperity and progress,
lor valuable discoveries and multiplied
Inventions for labor-saving machinery,
relieving the toiling masses, tor schools
free as the morning light tor the rising
generations, for books and 'periodicals
scattered like leaves ot autumn over the
land, for art and science, for free
dom to worship God according
to diotates of oonsoienne; bless Thou,
we pray Thee, the President of the
'Tnited States and his constitutional
advisors, Judges of the Supreme Court,
Senators and Representatives in Con
gress, - the Governors of our sev
eral Commonwealths, the officers
of the Army and Navy, and all
who are in official position throughout
our land. . Guide them, we pray Thee,
with counsels of wisdom, and may they
ever rule in right. We ask Thy bless
ing to rest upon the President,
all the Centennial Commission, and
upon those associated with them in the
Various departments, who have labored
long and earnestly amidst anxiety and
lnuinerence lor toe success of this
enterprise. May Thy speoial blessing,
oh Thou God of all these missions of
the earth, rent upou our national guests.
our .visitors irom distant lands, and
welcome them to our shores.
We rejoice at their presence
among tie, whether they come to exhibit
science or art in the development or
industries aud in the productSaof civ
ilization. Preserve Thou them, we be
seech Thee, and may they be welcomed
by loved ones aguin to their own native
lands."
Philadilphia, May 10. At the close
ol the prayer, the Centennial Hymu by
Whittier, with musio by John K. Paine,
whs sung by the chorus of over one thou,
sand voices. General Hawloy presented
the building to the President of the
United States, wno, on rising to re

tinued cheers.
His address- concluded as follows :
One hnudred years ago our oountry
was new, and bat partially settled. Our
necessities have compelled us to ohiefiv
expond cur means aud our time iu

FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
The Belknap Indictment.
By American Press Association to the S a a.
Washington. May 10. Yesterday the
Grand Jury of the Criminal Court otthe.
District ol Columbia found a true bill of
indictment against W. W. Belknap, late
Seoretary of War. The indictment sets
forth that he was Secretary of War on
June 16, 1873, at which time a certain
question, mutter, cause or proceeding
was pending in relation to the appoint
ment and retention in office of a trader
at the post ol Fort Sill, I. T.; that he
did nnlawiuliy, willfully and corruptly
aocept and receive the sum of $1,700
from one Caleb P. Marsh with inteut to
have hiB decision and aotlou in questiou
pending influenced, and did UBUQlnt
Jno.S. Evans and did retain J no. 8.
Evans as past trader in consideration of
having received said sum. Additional
oounts oharge him with receiving f 1,500
ior me eame purpose on November 4,
1878; January 22, 1875; November 15,
1875; April 10, 1874; May 24. 1875. audS75u

Tne Mississippi Imbroglio. '
A number of inaccurate statements
have appeared relating to the investiga
tion of Mississippi affairs now beiDtr
eonduoted by the Beleot Committee -ol
the senate, appointed ror that purpose,
tt is not true, as stated, that any testi
mony has yet been developed to show
Kiiy,t.uuh oondltion of violeaoe and in.
timidation as has been charged on the
floor of the Senate and elsewhere.
Up to this date two witnesses have
been examined. Ex-Governor Ames i.d
Mr..AV alien, United Stales Attorney for
the Northern Distrlot of Mississippi,
Mr. Walton, like Governor Ames, testl
lied that of his own personal knowledge
he knew of no oase of iraud on intimida
tion. He did believe that certain can
didates had been induoed through intim
idation to withdraw, although the can
didate himselt said that was not the
case. :. -. .
The colored Senator, Bruoe, and col
ored Representative, Lynoh, have boUi
been summoned before the Committee.
Lynoh appeared, but vras not exam
ined, but Bruoe has not responded.
At a meeting of the Committee yester
day afternoon it was decided hot to go
to Mississippi until after the Senate has
deoided the question of jurisdiction in
the Belknap impeaohment trial, and it
was said by a member of the Committee
that there was a probability that the
Committee would not go at all.
. That Question of Jurisdiction.
The impresslou that the Senate will
decide that it has jurisdiction in the oase
ot Belknap is becoming stronger in some
quarters. Senators, however, are ex
tremely reticent, and a number of them
eay they have not yet made up their
minds. It is understood that In the
event of the trial being proceeded with
some very important testimony is ready
to be produced to disprove many of the
assertions made by Belknap's counsel.
Minor mentions.
