1 OFiTKS SOUTH
IN THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION. .
, We have received from the man
agora of the Southern Exposition,
which will" open ' at Louisville,
August 1st, a printed slip which we
copy, giving some idea of the extent
. of the preparation being made by
the different States to secure space
in the grounds in order to exhibit
their resources. North Carolina
stems to be bending her efforts to
wards Boston. We hope the Agri-
' cultural Department will make an
' effort to have her well represented
at Loaisville: . - :
-'Tise6jcbtors of the - Southern
Expotioniwere. impelled by the
leading idea of bringing the atten
tion of the world to the vast natu
ral products of the South, and
furnishinsr the Southern neoole a
convenient opportunity for exam
ining all the modern improvements
in machinery that might help to en
hance the value.: of the . products
which nature had so bountiful be
stowed upon them. i
v "The Northern and Eastern peo
ple of the United States, with
characteristic energy, and enter
prise, lost no time in taking hold of
the project, and even before the
" necessary arrangements were com
pleted for receiving applications
. for space, began applying for ( the
privilege of exhibition in such nurn
, bers that the success of the under
taking as an exhibition was imme
diately assured. The Southern
people, not M well. . prepared for
prompt action in such matters, and
not so well schooled in the benefits
or occasions or tnis kind, were
slower in responding; but the last
few weeks have brought about a
marked change in the relations of
the Southern States to the South
ern Exposition, and ' there is every
assurance now that the South 'will
present herself in a manner : never
before attempted. Vr '
" "The earliest assurance was that
Northern builders of machinery;
and Southern buyers of machinery
would certainly come' together in
the Southern Exposition, and make
it a great and interesting exhibi
tion. The further purpose is now
being realized of the South making
a grand display of Tier ' resources
with a view to inviting now people
to m&ke their homes in thai1; sec
tion. -Not only will this display at
tract the attention of foreign immi
gration, but the farmers . and mi
ners and woodmen of all the over
tilled and overworked parts of the
country will Bee in the , Southern
Exposition the evidences of the
" Southern land of .promise that is
just no' presenting itself to the
consideration'" of the world.3 It
seens now as If the 'most.' interest
ing comnpetition , in the Southern
Exposition will be in the friendly
rivalry of Southern. States - yic:"2
with each other in -making .the
most complete and attractive dis

Such an opportunity,? - tfi?
The development of thisJ.spirit
Of emulation 'among" the Southern
people gives welcome assurance Of
the . consummation of tue entire
project of the Southern Exposition.
The North has already responded,
and the only question in .that con
nection effecting Ihe I managers of
the exhibihiqn is the already serious
problem, of finding room for all the
valuable ; and interesting; exhibits
inac are asKing spacein ine ma
chinery department, v All anxiety
that might . have existed a few
weeks ago, as to the ability of the
South to, fill ontber ,part . jo . this
great array, has been relieved by
the. recent activity and earnestness
of the Southern States. -
i "The Southern Exposition; will
doubtless be, as its name implies
thorough and complete exhibit r of
all the agricultural and natural pro
ducts . of that 3 favored ' territory
known " to the country as the
South." . . r "
DITISION OF THE DIOCESE:
By telegrams from Charlotte we
see : that" the' rConv'entloir- of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Diocese or .North Carolina at the
session just closed, has passed a
resolution, dividing the present, or
rather creates a new Diocese out of
the territory ot the old one. The
dividing line was changed from that
of the one submitted to the Con
vention a ytar ago, and is estab
lished as follows: " Commencing at
the Virginia liae, at the intersec
tion of the. Virginia line and the
eastern line Of Northampton county
and following, the eastern lines of
Northampton, Qaliiax, Edgecombe,
Wilsbnjohnsonf Hornett, Moore
and Itiehmqnd; : 11 the counties
westibf j$hJs: to be.-.the Diocese of
North Carolina, and all east to be
the new DiOcese whicb has not yet
been given a name. , 9' ! I -
By this division it will be seen
that the new Diocese embraces
thirty-two counties, all in the east
and south-eastern section of the
State; and the measure only awaits
the consent lalthe General Conven
tioawhich pfetr, o October and
the election of a 'Bisnop to put it in
full force and effect. ' - .
The j? EpiRf opal fund which
amouuUto iZZ,Cl,d ad yiJJs aa
income of $2,$C0 - is to ; bej equally
divided between the , old and the
new, which will entail the additional
expense on each, of some eight or
r,r"i 1 -.sdrcd dollars to support its

dowment fund of .this enterprise
has grown from f 1,000 -to $28,000,
which is judiciously invested by. the
society's treasurer. " Each ' State
through representative ladies takes
some one room of the venerable
mansion under its patronage, so far
as the number of rooms will allow
and restores . and furnishes . it in
style as nearly - contemporaneous
with Washington's time as possible
and in many cases the original
furniture has been secured; and re
placed. The bedroom . in which
yvashington died is under the pat
ronage of Virginia ladies, ; and , the
bed on which he died has been res
tored to it by Coionel Lee, son of
General Robert E. Lee; . The room

it was originally, and Alabama,

association ; convenes in , what ' is
known as the "Biver Koom," the

: The tedious Star Route Trial , ap
proaches its end. Colouel Inger
soli is making the closing argument
for the defense, and the case is like
ly to be given to the jury the .first
week in June.-, The triaL has been
largely, attended this week, Every
morning before thel opening hour
tne court room Has been- packed,
ladies forming full half ' of the ' au
dience. The defendants do not at
tened often, but the ("defense la
dies," as they are called the wives,
sisters, aunts, and cousins of the
accused f5ome regularly to; their
reserved seats. On Wednesday a
ventriloquist had some fun bv slav
ing his tricks in different parts of
the room. ; several times the Judfire
commanded silence in imperative
toner but tne, offender eluded sus
picion. : Newspaper F: writers , con
tinue to harp on what they call the
enormous, outrageous expense the
Government is being put to. In the
prosecution of the . Star Route con

money in the - trial than the total
amount stolen by the defendants.

The fact is the feespaid the jurors has
Deen nxeu py law, and are the same
in the Star Route cases as t in all
other criminal cases, while the pay
of the,. Government counsel does
not approach the amounts alleged
by newspapers. The estimate made
by the Post Office Department is
that the amount of the stealings ar
proximates f 4,000,000r and the cost
to the uovernmet in trying the
cases wfd scarcely exceedlll.COO.COO.
