tect even the Consuls against the out- ,'
breaks of fanaticism. German, Bussian,

the substance of Miss Ada C. Sweet's
statement h fore the Ci vil-Service Com-'
mittee of t lie House, w hich is to the effect
that, in consideration of receiving the
appointment to the office which she holds,
she had agreed to pay David Blakely, her
predecessor, 2,10o, and was directed by
him to pay the money over to United
States Marshal B. H. " Campbell. When
she had paid the $2,100, she notified Messrs.
Blakely and Campbell that she had per
formed her part of the contract, but
Campbell told her that was not cor
rect ; that he had a note against Blakely
for $"j,ooo, and she was to pay the whole
of that note. When Mr. Blakely turned
the office over to Miss Sweet, she says, he
turned over to her $o7,000, and induced
her to give him a receipt for $ 40,000, to
cover up a deficit of $3 ,000, anil promised
t- make it all right in a few weeks, but
failed to do so. Some time after Commis
sioner II. P.aker and Mr. Bh'kely came

000 deficit be paid that day, and charged
it upon her as her own deficit. She
went to Mr. Campbell, and between them
the amount was raised. Gen. Baker
knew of the arrangement she had made
witii Mr. Blakely. When President
(.rant learned that she was paying out

cause for her removal. She had received
no benefit from her appointment as Pen
sion Agent, but had run into debt and was
still behind about $2,000.

J'lMi.Alin.PiiiA, May Id.
In tlio memory of every citizen of Phila
delphia this day will remain forever green,
and al-o red, w hite and blue, for never has
there been such a display of bunting along
her streets as on this 10: li of May. For miles
and miles, from housetops, from windows,
and in windows, from doorways uiul car-roofs,
and even from the heads of numberless
horses, our National standard has been dis-
idayed, while II igs of other nations were also
floating ia the breeze.
The city was crowded with visitors, and
the number of people in attendance upon
t he p( nip g cere monies of the Cent en in d re
position is estimated to have heeti in the
neighborhood of loO,Ot 0.
At. the Exposition grounds a spacious
pla'f inn had been erected at the side of Me
morial Hall, not th of the center of the Main
building, and sea's were arranged on the
platform forellh ial and other invited guests.
At eleven o'clock President (irant and his
party, accompanied by numerous (.overn
ment ollicials and ether prominent individ
uals, proceeded to the platform, the Presi
dent having been escorted to the grounds
by Gov. llartranft, with a division of the
military. At the right of the center of
the platform were seated 111" President of the
United States and the members of the Cabi
net, and further to the right were the seats
of United States Senators, members of the
House of K-prcsci.tatives, the Govern
ors of tin' various States, with their
stall's, the Governor of IYnnsylvaiii i and
State etlleers, the State Supreme Court
and the LeiMfhiture, and representatives of
the aniiv and navy, the Smithsonian Insti
tute, I'nited S'ates Judges, ellkers of the;
Kt eulive olli -e utid the bureaus and mem-1
hers of the Woman's Centennial Commi'tee.
hi the lift of the cent; r were the seats of the
I'nited Mates Supreme Court, and farther to
the left the seats of members of the lliplo-matL-
Corps and members of the Centennial
Commissi, n, the llo.ivd of Finance, the
Woman's Executive Committee, Foreign
Co'i'mUsioners, the Mayor, Council and other
ot'ici.ils of Philadelphia, Mayors of other
ei'ies, Staie Centennial boards, the Hoard of
Award, and along the fi.-nt of the platform
were seated I lie members of the press.
'1 he orchestra of 1"0 pieces and a Chorus
of pooo voices, under tin' direction of Theo
dore Thomas and Dudley Buck, were sta
ti and ditectlv in front of the platform, at the
side of the Main Building.
Tin; platform was at once crowded, and
all the Mirroiiiidiiig space and nil the availa
ble in'iiiis of el'-valion i'l the neighborhood
had teen already occupied by crowds ef vis
itors. The orchestra, while the seats were being
secured, pi ived Natioir.il airs, and after the
party on the- pl-.tforui had arranged them
selves, played WagneiV Centennial March,
which was received with applause.
After the opening prayer, by Bishop Simp
son, of the Methodi-t Episcopal Church, aad
the singing of U hittiet's Centennial Hymn,
the presentation of the buildings took place,
the Board of Finance, wt'i appropriate
speeches and ceremonials, turning over ihe
buildings to the Commission.
The C entennial Hymn, written for the oc
casion by John G. iiitder, is as follows:
Our fathers" God! from out whose hand
The centuri.s tail like grains ol sand,
We meet to-day, united, free.
And loyal to our land and Thee,
'l'o thank Thee tor the era done.
And trust Thee h r the ope. i:.g one.
Here, where of old. by Thy d si rn.
The fathers spake that word ol Thine.
U"ho-c echo is Ihe i;lad retrain
i Tended boil and falling chain.
To rr.;ce oar fe-tal time, from all ,
The zones of earth our quests we call.

The ( .d World thronging all lis streets,
I n( : : iiiig ali the triaiiiptis won

And unto common good ordain
'lhis loalship of hand and brain.
Thou who hast here ia Concord furled
The war flags of a ga'hered worl 1,
IViieat'.i our ( s'eru skies fulfill
The O ienl's nii-sioti of good w ill,
And freight-il with Love's goldi n t'.eece,
Send back lis Argonauts of peace.
I'or art and labor met In truce.
For beauty ma le the bride of use.
We thank Thee: 'nut, wit ha!, w v. crave
The austere virtues s-r mg to save,
The honor proof to .lace or gold.
The manhood never bought nor sold!
Oh! mak" Thou u-, through centuries long,,
In pence secure, in justice strong;
Ari'iii'.d our e.itt (.f freedom draw
Tin safeguard ot Toy righteous law;
And. cast in some diviner moid,
Lc. the new ci tic shame the old !
Next followed the singing of Sidney Lan
ier's cant ita by a full chorus, accompanied
by the orchestra. The applause of the vast
crowd was enthusiasti.', and portions of the
music were (" rrtl.
The presentation of the Exhibition to the
President i f the United Stales by President
Haw by. of t'.;e United States Commission,
then followed, (Jen. Haw ley concluding his
remarks us follow?:
On Julv 1. ls;:i. this promt -1 was dedicated to

When President (.rant rose to reTfncl, he
was greeted with enthusiastic and long-continued
applause. He then read his response,
as follows:
It has heen thought appropriate upon this Cen
tennial occasion to bring t .gether in Philadel
phia, lor popular inspection, specimen of our at
tainments iu the indu-trial and tine arts, and in
literature, science and philosophy, as weil
as in the ere a br.-ii.e-s of agriculture

thoroughly appreciate the exec" h-nces and

an emphatic expression to our cnricst de-ire

'ne hundred years ago our count ry wa new,
and but partialiv settled. Our necessities have
compelled us to chi- tlv expend uvary means
and time in fi lling foie-ts, subd ling prairies
and budding- dwellings. factories, slips,
docks, warehouses, reads, canals, machin
ery, etc., etc. Mo-1 of our schools,

done, we regre t tha' we have: not done more. Our

to make j: easy for our people to acknowledge su

And tow, fellow citizens, I hope a careful ex

The close of the President's address was
followed bv the raising of the ll.ig on the
Main Building, the signal that the Exhibition
was open.
Salutes were fired, bells commenced ring
ing and the chorus began sieging Hallelujah !
The chimes commenced to ring various aits,
and the President aud invited guests, amid
cheers from the crowd, began a procession

The (Jreat Exposition is an aeeompli-lied
fact. It would manifestly he a stipci r ig.ilive
task, to write on account of the ceremonies
to supplement that already transmitted by
telegraph, and it will not be uttem pled. It
was in a'l respects the inagnilieeiit succ ess
everj body hoped it would be, and that is
giving il the most abundant praise. What
ever failings the average Philadelphian may
have in respect to his pet enter ri.f. a just
appreciation f what he has a right to ex
pect, nnd a determination to do all in his
power to insure success, is not one of them.
It i not every day in the week that .SOO.OOO
strangers visit Philadelphia, and as every
thing depended upon giving the atlair a good
serd-olV, all Philadclj Lia w as on its good be
havior, and filings passed oil according to
programme admirably.
The crowd was a little boiste rous, pcrhi'.ps,
and a Irillii eilra-dcmoiistrative us some of
the great nun ascended the platform. The
President was received with cheers, as was
proper, seeing that he represented tl e Na
tion in tl.e iciTiii'ir.ii. lh.m Pedro, the
Emperor of Brazil, also received a royal w el
come, and right deinoer.ilicully did he re
spond to it. He would have been pardoned,
doubtless, had lie preferred lo remember his
high estate and recognized 'he noisy shouts
only by slightly eleTating his royal nose; but
fie took oil' Ids hat, advanced to the front of
Hie platform and bowed like a gentleman.
It was a graceful act, and no stump s c ak r
in the land could have done it more graceful
ly. There is no disputing the fact that Un
people like Demi Peiiro and his democratic
w ays.
The Exhibition buildings are located as
everybody knows iu Fairiuounl Park, whic h
adjoins the built-up portions cf Philadel
phia, on the north western border. Th is is a
beautiful body of land comprising 2,710
acres, upon which the city has already spent
over $ii,U.Hi,0uo, utid is now annually expe nd
ing a hu ge sum in ndoreinenr and improve
ments. Through it runs the Schuylkill
Kiver, bordered by high barks and ravines,
atid its natural beauties have been greatly
enhanced by art. The buildings are located
ou the batiks of the river, groves of stately
trees surrounding them and affording splen
did views of river and landscape. They
stand from 112 to 12- feet, above tide-water.
It is not the purpose of this letter to give de
tails of the size of these buildings, the acres ot
ground they cover, the tons of iron and glass,
the feet ol lumber and so on consumed In
their construction, niiel other facts interest
ing to the mechanical reader, the Exhibi
tion continues for six mom hs yet, and there
will be lime for such intc resting details here
afler. A pleasant feature of the Exhibition is the
number of ornamental and weil sippdiiit'.-d
State buildings. Of these the re are at least
two dozen, ail in harmony with the great
structures and typical ed the old and new
common wealths ihey are supposed to repre
sent. Belmont avenue is lined with thc.iiand
no two are alike The several Mate Com
missioners have dot.e well with Ihe means at
hand, and each has sttive e t ou'.d.jthe other
in a litting memorial of the great event.
Some are elaborately decorated, and some,
are plain and without orn ttientaii- n outside
but abound with luxurious comforis within.
Cne of the piettie.-t e lilices within the en
closure is that ertetcd by the Ceinniissioti
from Llinois. It, is const iiu t'-d entirely ,f
wood, a story and a half in height, with a
peaked roof ; sloping at the four sides to the
eaves, where it oveih uigs, or lather projects,
beyond the sides. T;.e prc j;cl:o!i is iu the
nature of line scroll wot k n it gxudy or
overdone, but at once attractive and pleas
ing. 1 he crow n or ridge c f the roof is fur
ther ornamented with an eleg.i.t'y wrought
iron railing. hi form ii may be de
scribed as a parallelogram, and measures
about six!- leet in trout, l-y some eighty
feet ill depth. The exterior is paint, ct in
white, while the interior, unlike many of th:
buildings of the siste r States, is lalhed and
plastered, and is pacicd as well. In the
tinish there lias been Lreat good laste dis
played. The central lde t has been the pro
viding of a i lace for the weary ilgrim the
tired traveler. Booms, all sullieiently capa
cious and adapted for the reception of ladies
and genilcuiau are provided. For iiithor se x
every thing that could be suggested has b en
fui ni.-heJ. Ai ei-ehai; s, easy chairs and rocking-chairs
have been sealtei ed about in pro
fusion, and a room provided fur tie' safe
keeping of baggage. 1 he Built in g is design, d
entirely lor tl.e tiseof Ihe Commi-sii.peis and
the citizens of that Slate w ho may visit the
city. Illinoisiiiiis need not be ashamed of the
structure.
Ohio has erected a pretty s'ructuitf for the
use ol her Commission, i s and for the accom
modation of the guests Irom that Mate. The
front portion is built of sione lurui-hed en
tirely from the quarries of Ihe Mate, and, as
a con.-eqiienet', tuere ure numerous hues and
colors, it is indeed a line exhibit of the stone
quarried in the Buckeye Mate. 1 he rear por
tion is ot timber painted to harmonize with
the other part of the structure, and all the
material used has been furnished by d.llerctit
parlic throughout the State, f I is altogeth
er ati Ohio building, as much so as it erected
in Linchuia'i, Columbus, or C evel.uid. lnle
accommodations of the best kind will be of
fered lo all who may drop in, an opportunity
will also be atf'orded to inspect, t lie numerous
and varied exhibits Irom taat S ate.
A few feet off is the building eree'ed by the
Commissioners of fndiana. Of the style of
arehiiteture but little can be said, as il would
seem that no attempt had been in tut: in that
direction, but that ihe idea rather was to pro
vide a good, coinl'jrta bio place lor t tic people
of that Slate w here they might lest an.l meet
the ir friends. It consists ol a center lull,
lighted bv means of it tkvlight, with four
smaller rooms, two on either side, C.csigin d
for hulies ana gentlemen, and so arranged
that the most absoli.t - privacy is secured. It
is light and airy, and the ii:t:ng up iris been
done w illi a due regard to lue i.t.; e and wants
of the people.
llie next adjoining, or rather the next iu
regular ordt r, is the structure luat is being
erected by the Corumissio ii rs of the Stale i f
Wisconsin lor themselves and ttieir large
una lapidly growing constituency winch

The I'ouiKeeticr's Letter.
The letter of the Poolkccper of Ihe
House of llepresentatives to a friend ill
his own State, which we rint in another
column, is a private one, .and its publiea.
tion, doubtless, is. dm to some reprehen
sible violation of confidence. Inasmui'li,
however, as it lias found its wa into
print, and as we have ascertained l y in
quiries in Washington that il is get. nine,
we fc (1 jilslilic d in cop dug it beeall-e of
theit'sight which it gives into the char
acter of an important public ollicer. W c
say important, lor the Iloorkeepor of the
House of Ilepli s li tat iv es has duties w hich
his name docs not imply. He, in the first
place, gets it salary of s2,."i 0 a ye ar,
which ought to render it possible to sc.
cure for the place a man who at lca-t
knows how to spell coneetl.v. It is his
duty to make, before the meeting of cai II
Congress, a roil of the lJepieeiifaliv s
elect when Ihe Clerk and Sergeant til
Arms :ire absent or unable to perform lhal
service. During the recess the Door
keeper is in charge of the apartments ol
the I louse nt" Keiu esent div es, and tohini
is entrusted the bttsini ss uf providing fuel
and lights for Ihe ensuing session; ami
he is required to make to Congress a full
report of all the public property in his
charge. When it is remembered that this
ollicer has also ;i large number of desira
ble places at his disposal (b!0, he savs in
his li tier), and that his opportunity of
serving persons who are interested in leg
islation is great, the necessity ol putting
an honest, capable and intelligent man in
the position become apparent.
Mr. Fithtigh's letter shows that Ihe
majoi ity of the present lions" of L'eptc
sentatives have not been more sib cc-.-lul
in finding u doorkeeper than they have
been in ( boosing a journal eleik and
