These are each 100 feet and six inches square. Two will be utilized, one for the display of machinery other than saw mills, the other for agricultural A little distance from the main building will stand the boiler house, 40x60.

A shed, 100x150 feet, will be erected at a little distance, for the special display of saw tujlls. Great numbers of applications for special displays of machinery are being made. A lithographic press will be shown in operation. Numbers of applications tor pri-vilegesat the grounds are coming in. One came yesterday from a Long Island man.

I Lithographs of the main building are being prepared, giving a birds-eye view, showing the perspective; the arrangements of the courts, These will soon be pntupon posters and circulated in all pirts of the State.

In this the superb collection of products, of ithe State will be shown to great advantage. It will-be larger than the now iamous col lection shown at Boston. All the articles shown at Boston, as well as all the of agriculture can gather; from this time until the opening day of the exposi tiou, will be shown in the most attractive style.y Commissioner Mc-Gehee and I Secretary Wilson will spare no pains in endeavors to make this part oi the exposition a miracle of completeness. The factories and manufacturing establishments of tbe State will be well represented, i Cottou spinning and weaving blanket making, shoe making, tobacco aud cigar manufacturing, and dozens of other man nfacturing features will, it is understood, be illustrated in operation. To sum up in a few word no State ever attempted to make such a display and the completeness and value of this ono bid fair to more than equal its novelty.

The 'manufactur ers of that engine have offered to exhibit one of any desired power iu that way. Perhaps an engine of as much as two hundred horsepower may be used.

Exposition Newa.J Concerning the State exposition there seems to be a still greater interest all through the State Counties, towns and enterprising individuals are falling into line and announcing proposed exhibits. The officers of the exposition are also fully alive to the work. The details of the work are well in hand. The grounds are being placed in order and contracts for additional bnildings have been awarded. The mam building will be the largest structure ever-erected the State.

Its total length wil nearly a half mile A tnnltitud windows will give an abundance of light for the inspection of the exhibits. track will be ran the entire length of the building, affording great convenience for exhibitors, so that almost every sec tion can be reached by rail. The divisions or sections will be 16 leet. square, all which will bo used by the counties and other exhibitors. Lithographs of the building will be made and sent out, so all can see how it will appear.

The stereotyped saying that.this is the most important election we ever bad iatbe State of North can be truly applied ta. tbe election that is to take place in 1834.

While I would not, for an instant, say one word disparagingly of any oneot the several good" aud, tried. Democrats mentioned for that iroi portant place, yet; the gentleman whose i name heads this article, (Hon. Alfretl M. Scales) is also a name that has become a "house, hold word. A man that is available and eminently qualified in everjr respect to fill the place of Governor, having been tried in various positions, and never found want-, ing." Who from close application and" long experience in legislative liodies has enabletl himse)f to look" aliead, and shape aiid direc-lion to policies of the Democratic partj', that- ias made him a great leader ofjmen.

Remember his first speeches in Congress, com pareihem with the current events ofthe day aud you will see that he possesses a large share of those rare qualities that go to make" up a statesman. Iu presenting the name of the Hon. A. M.

Republican evidence proves that Garfield's election was bought, and that Arthur is President through frauds and corruptions in which he was proud to have taken a part Republicans have charged that a Supreme Court Judgeship was sold for $100,000 to monopolists who have large money ed interests pending before jthat tribunal.

In these confessions are embraced the! destruction of tbei freedom of election, which is the foundation stone of the Republic the corruption of the Supreme Court, which is the arbiter of the Constitution; the debasement of administrative power" by official sympathy with public robbers. Yet ithe Democratic House -of Representative has failed to bring into the campaign in an effective manner any one of these living issues, and has wasted its energy on a fruitless agitation of a question on which the party is divided.
