SECRETAli\ FOLQEIi. Probably no prominent man In the United Sjatea government came nearer to the every day life of the mailnor than Charles J. Folger. Being becictary of the Treasury, Ills name waB attached to all the Important lules and paucrs governing navigation on all the matera of the country, and It had become so frmilar as to make the anuuuncement of hid death seem, In u measure, like u personal bereavement." X<s all Know that he was a man of great^attainments and of a peoullai ly upright charaetoi. Both his heart and miutl made him a conspicuous figure In the ranks of statamen—using the wuid statsmen In a dlst'Kctlvo sense, tor he was in no aspect a politician. JIls eminent ability called him to-the position he occupied under the gov¬ ernment, In all the duties of which hesened above reproach. For a man like him the devoted admlrers'of Garfield, who are above the prejudices of party, must bcai a tender reverence for Bpeclal reasons. lie was a victim of the great and deep-seated Indlgnu tion that filled the popular mind beoauso of the wretched deed that murdered President Garfield, Tho more fact tlyit Judge Folger was a friend of Garfield's successor delealcd him overwhelmingly when lie inn foesthe position of governor of New 'i ork. Tl is was of course, unjust, but that seiillnieuc In r the breast of the people could not have been eradleted by any e»rthly power, until It hud wreaked Itself on some fated candidate It Ik because It was unjust that the memory of Charles J. Folger, whom Air. Gnrlleld would have taken Into his hemt and confidence, deseives a leuullur respect at our hands. Our readers are not particular as to the life history of the deceased cabinet olllccr. That he was born In Massachusetts and became a resident ol Geneva, N.Y., whoie he died, are almost imuialcrlal facts concerning such a man. Uc was of tho United" spates and the wliolo counirj moiiinshls loss. THE WOULD'S EXPOSITION It is a pleasure foi us to record the Interest that Is being taken in the WoiId's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition that Is to be held at Now Orleans tiotn December 1st, 1881, to May 81st, 1885. This enterprise Is on n.giand, scale aud matters have pro¬ gressed tar enough to Insure its being car- i led out on tho plan proposed1 by those hav¬ ing It In charge. Although the word "cot¬ ton" occupies a pinmluoiit place In the namo of the exposition, It l„ only to shpw that this thief product ol the .South will receive full jusileo and special intention. The object of the enterprise really embiaces all of ihe In- idiistrbd arts, sclentes and manufactures of Ihe whole world. Such an exposition will be oliast benefit to the South, and In fact to tho wholo eountn. NexttotheaboJItlonof that listless and half-hearted labor which ihe South now acknowledges had brought her very close to the doorof negligent pen- nrj, ttiIt gicnt fair will jlo her most good In tho dlieetlon of mousing her piospelity by showing her wonderful resources and Invit¬ ing labor and manufacturers to take up tli.elr abode vwlth them. It was an, appropriate atLon the purl ol the United Slates govern- meTit to set apart $1,300,000 for the purpose of showing Its Interest In Ihe material nftlairs of tho southern half of lis territory, nnd be¬ side this substantia] aid to tumble tho projec¬ tors ol the fair to, make ample preparations. The main bulfdllig, which is already complet¬ ed, covers thirty-three acies, being 1,380 feet j long by 005 feet wide. Tho government building for State exhibits is 885 by 505 feet, Horticultural hall Is GOO by 100, and the art gtillciy is in keeping with tho others. All arc located in City Park, lying between Charles avenue and the Mjsjjlsalppl river, and are accessible by five horse and two steam car lines, wlillo by watei the navies of the} world can sail to its very gates. Kales of trn\el from all over the woild will bo so low that the exposition can not help be¬ ing a popular resort. Fairs of this diame¬ ter are great promotois of the advancement cf mankind, but for other null moie genial reasons' we wish our southern brethren all success. Had there been a Are proof tug on the river Sunday nlgjit much of the dlsjistious conflagration 'ami consequent loss of prop¬ erty would have been prevented. Although the tugs Mary Virginia, Patrick; Henry and Maggie Sanborn did excellent service, their pumps were not especially adapted to ihe work,and when the fire approached too near they were obliged to look after tliqlr own safety. Wo respectfully petition for an Iron tug of sufficient power to cover tin emergen¬ cy of this nature and protoct the shipping and other Interests on the river front, also that It be equipped and placed ou the river at an early dav. Tun QgdensbufK^Journal sayslhere Is complaint that a recent change in customs and marine regulations by the. Dominion government has doubled the lees of Ameri¬ can vessels touching at Canadian ports.
