This nterpriao was conceived by public pirited citizens of Georgia under the Mid of Mr. Kimball , a northern cam'- tlist long resident in the south. Its urposu is to attract the attention of lie world to the capabilities of the imtliwn states in the cultivation am lanufacturo of the urcat staple and to how to the people of those states o\v its production and manufacture JM be increased and improved. The xhibition has outgrown its intended loportionsnnd through the energetic IfortH of its management will bo > nde of much inoro than local im 01 tanuo. The lists have been thrown pen to all countries , not only for the \hibiHon of cotton , but for the dis- lay of all textile fabrics. Cotton , Ik , linen , jute nnd every- ling connected with theae biTs the raw materials , the nvad , the yarn and the woven khrict ) , together with thu machinery ltd implements used in preparing leni , will bo admitted , The encour [ foment received by the managers as uurpassed all expectation , by far 10 Jnnjust part coming from the east nd the north , while a number of ! Eu- ipetin countries will enter the lists to mputo with American manufacturers , Many of our wostarn states and tor- Uories will send exhibits of their roducts. Utah is to display her ilk cocuona mid Hnx , with specimens f linen und jute. Why has no move eon made to have Nebraska's ' lar o ax growing interest adequately rep- usunted ? In quality * of fibre few tales in the country can excel the l > x raised in our own. That It has nly been utilized heretofore for its ued is no reason why our homo grown ax Bhould not find a placeat thu leorgia exhibition , THE vice-presidency of the United tales is for the seventh time vacant , 'ho ' death of Elbridgo Gurry in Covumbur 1814 occasioned the first ucanoy in the vico-presidontiul of- ue. The Bocond arose on the promo * on of John Tyler to the presidency pen the death of flurrisou. Samuel Southard , of Now Jersey , was nt tat limu president pro torn , of the iiiuto , but ho was oucceodcd about a year later by Willie P. Manguin , o North Carolina. When Mlllard Fillmore moro succeeded Taylor as president the vice-presidency wan for the thin time vacant. The death , in April 1853 , of William II. King , elected 01 the gnino ticket with Franklin Pierce occasioned a fourth vacancy in tin vico'prcsidmicy. David II. Atchisoi and Jesse D.

COLOIIADO is passing through one oj the experiences of all now states ir the discussion of the question relative to the permanent location of the capi tal. Denver , which has had possession of this coveted dignity since the state was admitted into the union , will not , > iold the honor without a struggle. Other towns , however , claim that n city nearer the geographical center shouldbo chosen , and Colorado Springs , L'ueblo , Loadvillo and Golden are active competitors for the prize. Up o date Denver seems to have the > est Of the fight and to offer the greatest inducements for a retention of the center of state government , lor people offer to donate to the state on acres ot ground worth $75,000 nd a number of building lots which mvo boon held for thirteen years in rust ns a capital building fund , 'heso lots are valued at $60,000 , so liat'the entire bum offered by Don or is $135,000. DuniNO the post ten years Omaha as spent over $100,000 for wooden ross walks , wooden culverts and iridges. Thousands of dollars have > een squandered each year in carting irt up and down the side hillls and n dicging trenches which were sure o bo filled with mud aftnr the first oavy rain storm. This systematic and reckless waste f the taxpayers' money still goes on. 'his season several thousand dollars ro being squandered on more urooden cross walks , which est cannot last moro than two o : iree years , and tha street commis ionors gang nro ditching and car tin ; irt wl.oro it can do little or no gooi lurinaliently. How much longer thii wasteful policy is to bo pursued annot attempt to predict , but corns to us that Omaha has reached atago of growth when every della otod for our streets should bo ex > ondcd for substantial and pormanen mprovemonts. THE factional contest in Now York vhich hardly abated its fury fer th resident's funeral , is now at its eight. Most of the towns and cities ave selected their delegations to tin oming republican state convention , nd in n number of instances "double loaders" will put in rival claims fo recognition. Mr. Conkling leads a lisputod delegation from Utica. The 3swcgo delegation is also divided. In Now York the delegates nro nbou jqually Oonkling nnd nnti-Conkling But the country districts are yet to bi icard from , and by general conson ire numbered as hostile to Mr. Conk ing. Collector Hobortson will bo ir. ho coming convention as a delegate 'roni ono of the Now York city die ricts. George William Curtis wil ilso bo present. In nearly oyory in itance the various counties and dis wctB hitvo Bent their representative nen , and the contest will bo a battle ) f giants Tun nation's ufiliction has bound ogother moro closely than ever bo ere the puoplo of the North and South. That this union will bo por- iianent is the earnest desire of every itizen of the republic. Some of the neat touching eulogies of the dead iresident have como from the south , ioimtor Pen Hill was particularly nf- uctod by his death : "Poor arfield1 ! 10 said , "was a big-hearted and a big niiuud man , I shall never forgot the ust time I saw him. lie was so heerful and apparently happy , over saw him fuller of mental and hyuioal vigor nnd of hope for the uturo than then. I wan't to always omembor him as ho appeared to mo hen n parfoot man. " THE Slocunjb ordinance was re- erred to the committee on police. Vhen tVat committee has digested it , hey will report it back with the recom- iiondation that it bo indefinitely post- loncd. Meantime our school fund is asing thouiands of dollars and the rorst dons in town are running night nd day without paying a dollar iceime. TUB mooting of the 0. , B. & Q. fllcials in Chicago assures the opoedy omplotion of the Republican Valley xtension to Dimver nnd its operation part of a continuous line between hicago and that city. When the ridge at Nomaha City is completed 10 now route will bo nearly one hun- rod miles iiwiror Chicago than any uatinglino. Soutlioin Improvement i Notwithstanding the indication that the coming election in Misslssipp will not bo conducted fairly , a retro snoot over a number of years will con vince the observer that tirao 1m brought on a general improvement ii the situation. The extent of the illc gality and frail a will bo much Ics than it has been at nny time sinci bulldozing becanio something like ai established institution. The unfaii methods nro visibly on the decline cline , The fact that there ii an organized opposition at all is i sign of improvement in this respect Tlio shotgun hns almost , if not entirely tiroly , vanished from the scone. Ir como districts in the state no effort al fraud will bo attempted. The pros sura of popular opinion and tlx strongthofthooppositionhavorendoret its success in thorn so improbable thai ityill bo confined to these localitici which are strongly democratic. It wil assume the shape of sending in falsi majorities , which , of course , will havi their effect upon the result , and per haps decide the victory , but the arci from wliich they come is being BO oir < cumscribcd that there is good rcasoi : to believe that'progress in the right direction has certainly sot in. The shotgun disappeared under pop ular pressure. It was found to have a most disastrous effect upon the party at largo in the north. Imperative demands mands were sent south Jby northern democrats that its use should bo dis continued long before the last presi dential election. Every outrage cost the party multitudes of votes. The better element of the southern democracy discountenanced it. It waa found that in the lo.ig run it did thd party moro harm than good. Thus bulldozing proper received an import ant chuck. False counts were substi tuted for it They were less demon strative and for the time produce the same result. But they , too , are having their legitimate effect in alienating popular sympathy from the demo cratic party. The same influences are brought to boar against them that eradicated the shot-gun and the night- riders. Honest southerners do netlike like fraud any better than any other men. Thoyhavo entertained a hesitat ing willingness to keep quiet about it , but that , evidently , is wearing out. Even so-called negro rule is preferable to the lack of character which is involved in countenancing the disreputable practice. The will ingness has not altogether , disappear ed , but it is disappearing , and the ultra fraud managers are losing the popular support without which the end of their career becomes a question of a very short apace of timo. How long the reforming pro cess will have to bo continued before a reasonably satisfactory state of af fairs supervenes , remains to be seen. Bo the time long or short , it is ap proaching. Besides the surface indications of the improving course of southern politics , there are also signs that the bettor element of the southern people nro gaining a philooophical grasp on the situation. They recognize that the newly enfranchised class can not be * denied' their political privi leges for any great length of timo. They must bo accepted as po litical necessities , and made the best of. It has thus happened that a strong sentiment has been developed in favo af education. Senator Brown , o Ooorgia , published to the world , ii congress last winter , the deeiro for i now departure. He put aside the con Biderahon of state rights , and asket for the south thei assistance of the nation in establishing adequate schoo systems. Somothinir was done , whir ] served to show that the request wouh bo gladly acceded to. When th matter comes seriously up for consideration side-ration much more xvill bo dona Hut , meanwhile , the southern people plo thomsolyes are not idle. Toxa lias made important advances , am things are shaping themselves inotho itates toward the same laudable end For the most part what has been ao jomplishcd does not amount to much but the existence of the increased dis position to fight the ignorance in the jallot through education has beer nanitested clearly , and contains ui issuranco for the future. There is another movement thai will influence the condition of South > ru society for the bettor , which is lisappointingly slow at present , bu t exists nevertheless. This is the ac simulation of small properties by ; ho negroes. The moment n voter > ays taxi-a on his own possessions lis political intelligence become ! vondorf ully quickened. Wo are aware hat with the great majority of the loutliorn negroes no such advance has > oun mado. It is probable that the onant credit system wliich pro rails throuchout the south is largely osponsiblo for this. But here urn there are enterprising colorci neil who show that there is some ilight progress in this growth. The reodmen are also gradually assorting homselves. In Virginia and Tonnes oo there s little interference wit ] heir free exercise of political iqhta. This kind of thin" is con- ugious and is spreading. There are ividences of it even in Mississippi. Ml great social movements involve low progress , and , while there are uany discouraging relics of the bar- larism of slavery still clinging to the outh , wo are justified in placing onfidonco in the promises of good usults that are contained in the niluonces which are plainly , t work. The material prosperity of he south , of late years , has been al- aost phenomenal. Considering the inpavoriahcd condition of the coun ty at the close of the war , and dur- ng the years that immediately fol lowed it , uo section on the uco of the earth has developed so apidly as the southern states , if the evolutions of the last census are to .opendud on , There is a promising field there for lie vigorous assertion of political quality. The defenders of that vital rinciplo aio growing stronger as the enoral improvement takes plaoo. If lississipiji is lost through fraud this cur , it will bo a thing to bo deplored , ut it will not detract from the truth mt the days of trifling with the ballot ro growing short , and that the olo- tents of southern society arc approx- iiating a condition of natural cquil- iriuui , Notioo- The caucus of republicans of the ourth ward will bo hold to-day 'hursdfly ) evening , at room U , Union ock , OCCIDENTAL JOITINGS.
