OCR NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY.
The adoption of the Declaration of Indo
vtendenee by the American Congress on the
4 th of July, 177C, was a perfeotly unique in
cident. Nothing fciurilar to it had ever oc
curred before in the world's history, and
nothing like it of the same importance is
likely to occur ngain. Other peoples have
grown from barbarism to civilization,
from weakness to strength, through centuries
of development that formed the national char
acter and formed the system of govern
ment suited to it; but the founders of the
American republic found themselves called
upon to vote a nation into existence first,
then to conquer for it the right
to exist, and lastly to decide what
form of government would be most
likely to make it honored abroad, to develop
its resources and to make its people great,
prosperous, and happy. If they succeeded, the
Declaration of Independence would be a
charter of liberties for all mankind, while if
they failed their pretensions would but excite
the ridicule of the world, their act would be
declared treason, and their lives would pay
the forfeit of their temerity. The men who
deliberated upon the Declaration of Indepen
dence, however, felt that the time had ar
rived for the New World to shake off the fet
ters of the Old, and for a final protest against
the doctrine of the divine rights of kings
that for centuries had checked the growth of
liberty in Europe. The principles enunci
ated by the Declaration were responded to
with enthusiasm by the people, who felt thatjit
now remained with them to confirm the words
of their representatives, and that a national
existence was something better worth fight
ing for than the mere redress of grievances,
that if redressed in the fullest manner would
still leave them in subjection to a tyrannical
foreign power. The contest was fought, and
the great American republic from an idea be
came a fact. Europe watched with eager
interest the result of an experiment that, if
successful, was fraught with most momentous
consequences to mankind. The experiment
did succeed, and in the short space of ninety
years an empire that rivals that of Home in
its grandeur has been established, and, having
proved its power both at home and abroad, it
is at once the object of the respect and admi
ration of the world.
In a few years more a century will have
passed away since that little company of
brave, far-sighted statesmen signed the
Declaration of Independence in the State
House at Philadelphia, and then the world
will be invited to participate with ns, on the
spot of the nation's birth, in the grandest cele
bration of Independence Day that has oc
curred since the day itself. Tho centennial
anniversary will be an event only second in
importance to the signing of the Declaration
of Independence itself. Other nations have
invited the world to contribute to and to visit
exhibitions of art and industry, but none of
them has ever been able to ask the partici
pation of every nation on the surface of the
globe in such an imposing colebration as that
which will take place in this city on the 4 th
of July, 1P7C
It is not altogether a matter for congratu
lation that many of the old-time observances
of the Fourth of July have fallen somewhat
iuto disuse. The Rebellion served to npset
many of our old-fashioned customs and
notions, and since the suppression of the Re
bellion there has been a growing disposition
to abate something of the pomp and parade
that were once a necessary feature of Inde
pendence day. The younger generation, of
coarse, indulges in the burning of an un
limited amount of gunpowder upon the shrine
of liberty, but citizens of mature years are
generally glad to escape the noise and bustle
of the city, if possible, by passing the day in
the country or at the seaside. On strictly
rational principles there is certainly nothing
blamable in this, bat it is certain that the
old explosive enthusiasm of the Fourth of
July served to impress upon the minds of
both old and young ideas with regard to the
origin of the anniversary that ought not to
be allowed to pass into neglect.
The celebration of the Fourth in this city
yesterday was unusually quiet. There was no
military parade, owing to the neglect of Couu
cils to make an appropriation for the purpose,
and the few ceremonials that wore indulged in
were not of a character to make any particu
lar impression on the popular imagination.
This is to be regretted; for while many per
sons rejoiced in the at least partial cessation
of noise, many more missed what ought to be
a grand feature of the day. We hope that in
future we will at least have a parade and
oration.
The first will make the streets attractive,
and will cause an appropriate excitement in
the hearts of those patriots who cannot con
veniently spend the day out of town; and tho
latter, even if it does not contain anything
but the oft-repeated commonplaces, and the
accustomed spread-eagleism that is character
istic of Fourth of July orations, will at least
serve to impress upon the minds of our citi
zens the fact that the adoption of the Decla
ration of Independence by the Continental
Congress was one of the greatest events, not
only in this nation's, but in the world's his
tory. THE EXCISE LAW IN NEW YORK.
One of the fruits of the Democratic triumph
in New York last year was a modification of
the Excise law, and the reconstruction of the
Hoard of Excise Commissioners so as to give
the Democrats a working majority of the
members, as well as the substitution of a
Democratic for a Republican Superintendent
of Tolice. Soon after this 'reform" the San
day liquor selling, which had been broken up,
was recommenced in all portions of the city
of New York, end innumerable scenes of de
bauchery and riot were enacted. Matters
went from bad to worse so rapidly that even
the Democratic Board of Excise Commis
sioners took the alarm, and they appealed
to those who were concerned in
the liquor business to close their
bars on Sunday, from motives of policy if for
nothing else. This appeal being unheeded
by many innkeepers, more Blringent measures
were resofted to. The aid of the Democratic
Superintendent of Police was invoked. At
midnight on Saturday last he opened his
campaign, and between that time and Mon
day morning he made twenty-six arrests fr
excise violations, sixty forintoxication, twenty
for tlriiDkenness and disorderly conduct, and
forty for disorderly conduct. As a result the
.".d of July was a quiet Sunday in New York,
there was an unaccustomed absence of serious
nffrnvs, and the public were taught that oven
in the citadel of Democracy it is possible for
Democratic officials to enforce the Excise
law.
PHILADELPHIA FREE. TR A DKUS.
Iris alleged that Colonel William H. Thomas,
the disoiganizing-ltepublican, Abolitiou
Democratic, Conservative-Chase, and Radical-Reform
candidate for Congress in the
Fourth district, is one of the most decided
free-traders in Pennsylvania. If this be true,
it is the most serious objection that could be
urged against his election. The tariff ques
tion is rapidly becoming the most important
issue in national politics. A small wing of
the Republican organization hns drifted off
into the free-trade camp, and they are in
spired with an earnest hope that, through the
aid of tho bulk of the Democracy, they will
once more remand the nation back
to a condition of industrial servitude.
If they can pick up a few
more Republican-Democratic recruits, they
hope to remodel the tariff during the sessions
of the next Congress according to the mo3t
approved plan that Birmingham, Manchester,
and Sheffield manufacturers and British iron
masters can devise. If this scheme sueccids
no State in the Union will be half as seriously
damaged as Pennsylvania, and no city will
be so irretrievably injured as Philadelphia.
By manufactures Philadelphians live, move,
and have their being. If their productive
industries are stricken down tens of thousands
of Philadelphia houses will become tenant
less, and hundreds of thousands of tho
present inhabitants of the city will be
compelled to seek their daily bread in some
more favored locality. It is not worth while
for a Philadelphian to stop to argue the ab
stract question of free trade or protection.
Let him look into the workshops, and see
how many of his fellow-beings are dependent
for their livelihood upon the industrial arts,
and let him reflect upon the disastrous influ
ence which approximate free trade always hus
exercised upon diversified American industry.
No dry lessons of political economy will be
necessary to teach him that for this city there
is but one true doctrine, and for this State
but one true policy. All ordinary
partisan distinctions sink into utter insignifi
cance when an issue so vital to this com
munity as protection is forced into a Con
gressional canvass. It is a terrible mistake
to suppose that protection benefits mainly
employing manufacturers. It matters but
little whether a few thousands are added to
or a few thousands taken from their store.
But to tens of thousands of operatives no
political controversy possesses one-tenth as
much interest as the plain question whether
they are to be permitted to earn their liveli
hood in the pursuits for which they have
been qualified by long and expensive train
ing, or whether they are to be compelled
to abandon the anvil and loom and take up,
after a probationary period of semi-starvation,
plows which they do not know how to
handle. The Philadelphian who seeks to im
pose upon them this cruel necessity is a pub
lic enemy, and he should not be trusted for
one instant in any public capacity in which
he would be able to betray our citizens. We
may stand the infliction of an incompetent,
or a dishonest, or a rebellious Representative
without beiBg very seriously damaged, pro
vided he is faithful on the doctrine .of
protection, but to send a free-trader
to Congress at this juncture would
be to perpetrate a blunder worse than a crime,
which, in its immediate and ultimate results,
would prove immeasurably injurious. When
Great Britain makes up her Parliament of the
Fenian leaders, when the United States
Senate is composed of the aristocracy of Eng
land, when we put our city government under
the absolute control of the most desperate
roughs and corruptionists of New Y'ork, we
should also send a free-trader to represent the
Fourth district in Congress but not before.
There is a possibility, which we hope will
prove a certainty, that the Senate will yet re
consider the decision of last week with regard
to the income tax. The Senators opposed to
the tax who were absent when the vote to
continue it was taken, are indignant at the
mean trick by which the popular wishes were
defeated. Senator Conkling, who was sick in
bed when the vote was taken, has announced
his intention to call up the subject again,
and, unless some of the Senators who pro
fessed to be opposed to the tax follow the ex
ample of Abbott and Anthony, and change
their votes, there will be a majority against
the outrage in a full Senate. In
view of the refusal of the Senate to
abandon the franking privilege, the continu
ance of the income tax is a direct insult to
the nation, and it will be so regarded. It is
high time that some of the men in Congress
were made to understand that they are the
servants and not the masters of the people;
and the persistent efforts made in tho Senate
and House to impose an unnecessary and pe
culiarly galling burden for the sake of raising
a few million dollars of revenue that can
readily be dispensed with, combined with the
refusal of Congress to curtail its own extra
vagances, is likely to produce some unpleasant
consequences when some of the present
members of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives offer themselves for re-election.
A CROSS THE OCEAN.
The Dnnntlet and Ihf Cumbria Their Oceanle
Kare.
The creat ocean race between the American
yacht Dauntless and the English yacht Cambria
promises to be one of the leading sensations of
the season.
After considerable newspaper discussion, Mr.
Jnmcs Gordon Bennett, Jr.. late owner of the
Henrietta, succeeded in nrraneinpf a race for his
new yacht, the Dauntless, with the Cambria,
owned bv Mr. Ashbury, a very prominent Eng
lish yachtsman, The late races between the
American yacht Sappho, owned by Mr. Douglas,
and the Cambria, in which the stars and stripes
were triumphant three times in succession, are
matters ot history. The Dauntless and the
Cambria arrived at (ueenstown. Ireland,
on the 'JSih of last month, and their
owners have been the guests of the Royal
Cork Yacht Club. They arranged to start
vesterdny, at 2 o'clock, lroiu Daunt Head
buoy, about thirteen miles east of the old Head
of kinsali. and a short distance from (uecus
town Harbor. In order to irivc ocean 'steamers
every chance of recoifniziufi them at night, the
Dauntless Las arranged to burn blue lights. at
her bow and stern, otid fire three blue rockets in
quick succession, and the Cambria will do the
sunie, but with red )iibt$. Caplalu Martin F.
Lyons, who soiled the Henrietta In her ocean
race, lift New York about a month aoto take
charge of the Dauntlecs. It is generally be
lieved that Mr. Ashbury has secured trie ser
vices of a well-known Liverpool merchant cap
tain, who is w ell acquainted with the various
currents and wind of tlie Atlantic.
The following i a short sketch of the two
yachts:
The Dauntless was buiit by John Forsyth, at
Mjstic, Ct., for Dexter Bradford, of Newport,
ui.'d named L'lliroiulelle. and about three years
npo wns purchased by James Gordon Bennett,
Jr.. and rechristened the Dauntless. In the fall
ot IbOfs she w as taken to Nyack, and underwent
extensive alterations in the yards of Messrs. 11.
iSc.l. Palmer. Thirteen feet were added to her
length, her mainmast was moved five feet for
ward, aud her foremast seven. Her steeriujr
apparatus is Jackson's patent, and she has also
two .patent wrenches for hoisting canvas.
l!er dimensions arc: Length over all, 127
feet: water line, 117 feet; depth of hold,
Wr, feet; breadth of beam, 2f feet:
ni asurcmcnt, 2(18 feet, by New York Yacht
Club rule? ; her mainmast, 10 feet: maintepmast,
CO feet, making 150 feet from deck to truck:
foremast, SI' feet: foretop, 42 feet, or 181 feet
from deck to truck: main boom. 71$ feet, and
main gaff, WJ feet. She spreads about 26$'.)
square feet ot canvas, aud is manned by a
captain, sailing-master, mate, boatswain, two
quartermasters, and twelve men before the
mast. Snc will probably carry more men during
the race, and the club rules entitle her to carry
thirty-seven. The Dauntless is well known as
one of the best sea boats in tMe Ne w York Yacht
Club, which was manifested in the cruise of the
squadron in 18C8.
1 he Cambria is a keel schooner, built of oak,
with teak topsides. Her interior littings are
remarkably rich and beautiful, aud in good
taste. She has twenty-one tons of ballast
smelted and run into her timbers, and has also
four tons of lead bolted to her keel. Under sail
sl e spreads a vast area of canvas nud works in
the wind with the ease and facility of a weather
vare. Her best points are being sharp and
quick in stays, lying close to the wind, and
being fast in light breezes. By tho wind that
is, close-hauled she has gaff-topsails bent to the
ordinary spars: hut in sailing free she has much
longer and ligher and more Uexible yards aloft,
and the sail of l.ghter canvas, of course, clubs
out a considerable distance. Her bowsprit is a
very peculiar spar, and with the jibboom and
flying jib-boom is all in one stick, and rigs in
aud out at the option of the sailing-master.
She is 248 tons, New York Yacht Club measure
ment, and 188 tons Royal Tliame3 Yacht Club
measurement, and was built by Ratsey, of
Cowes. at the Isle of Wight, in 1S08. She is
a fine type of the deep and narrow English
model, and in external appearance bears
a resemblance in stiffness aud stability to
a Cunard steamer. It can hardly be said
that the Cambria is as graceful aud charm
ing in her pose upon the water as
the mo.iority of American schooners, and this is
simply because the English are willing to sacri
fice anything to secure the full embodiment of
their ideas as to speed. Her dimensions are:
Length (from stempost to sternpost), 103 feet;
beam, 21 feet: depth of hold, 11 feet; draught of
water, 12 feet; mainmast (hounds to deck), til
feet; foremast, 50 feet 0 Inches; maiu boom, Gl
feet; main gaff, 33 feet 9 inches; foro gaff, 25
feet: bowsprit (outboard stem), 35 feet; main
topsail, 35 feet 0 inches; foretopsail, 32 feet S
inches: niaintopsail yard, 32 feet; foretopsail
yard, 2! feet.

Mr. Morrill argued that the proposed chunge In the
present system of collecting the revenue at Custom
houses would prove a dangerous experiment in va
rious ways, among others In subjecting the Hoveru
ment to losses in the transit of goods across the
country by railway stnash-ups.
Mr. Chandler had read by the Clerk certain sug
gestions of the Secretary of the Treasury In regard
to the regulation of appraisements an1 the inspec
tion of import, which he proceeded to i ml 'r.se. He
spoke cl the dltllculty of Identity of inerchaadlse in
its transportation, In bond, from New Y'ork to inte
rior cities, and the liability of the Government to
lose In the substitution of Inferior goods for those
of greater value; for Instance, ginghams for silks.
lie considered the present system more conve
nient, and regarded the proposition as equivalent to
putting all custom houses ou wheels, and carting
goods over the country.
Mr. ltayard opposed the amendment for economi
cal reasons, as creating numerous olllciaU in va
rious cltii-s, aud because it would vastly increase the
opportunities for fraud on the revenue.
