OUR CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY.
The question of the celebration of the cen
tennial anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence came up yester
day in the National House of Representatives.
It is not unnatural that other cities
should desire to enjoy the benefits that
such an exhibition would bring in its train,
and the opposition to the claims of Phila
delphia that has thus far been made was no
more than was to be expected. Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis, and, we doubt not, San
Francisco also, could all present excellent
reasons why the proposed interna
tional exhibition BhoulJ be held
within the limits of their re
spective municipalities; and if there was
the slightest prospect of success the mem
bers of Congress who represent those con
stituencies would exert themselves to the
utmost to accomplish so desirable an object.
Practically, the contest, so far as there is any
contest on the subject, is narrowed down to
Philadelphia and New York, and the last
named city is now attempting a little game
of bluff that can amount to nothing, as
Philadelphia most certainly holds the winning
cards. The plaoe where the Declaration of
Independence was signed is undoubtedly the
only proper place for celebrating the centen
nial anniversary of that important event,
unless reasons of the most potent character
can be presented why another location would
be preferable. As between .the two cities,
however, Philadelphia possesses many advan
tages that New York does not, and there
would be such an obvious impropriety in
celebrating our national centennial in that
town that it cannot be doubted what the de
cision of Congress will be on the subject.
The only opponent our reprentative had yester
day in the House of Representatives was Hon.
James Brooks, of New York city, who repre
sents a constituency whose patriotic associa
tions date back from the time they set foot
npon American ground at Castle Garden,
whose ideas of the chief duties of American
citizenship are to vote early and often, and
to mash the heads of "niggers" who attempt
to vote the Republican ticket, and who
value the Fourth of July principally for
the facilities afforded on that day for getting
drunk at an early hour on bad whisky. Mr.
Brooks distinguished himself yesterday by
stating that he regarded Philadelphia as a
populous and beautiful suburb of New York,
but was unable to see why it should be se
lected rather than Boston, where the princi
ples of the Declaration of Independence were
mainly cradled. If there were any choice in
the matter, Boston would undoubtedly be a
more appropriate place for holding the exhi
bition than New York, and if the Declaration
of Independence had actually been signed at
the "Hub," we would most cordially advocate
its claim. The associations, however, that
cling about the old State House on Chesnut
street are such that we sinoerely
believe the patriotic oitizens of Boston,
who hSve a better idea of the
eternal fitness of things than the foreign born
constituency represented by Hon. James
Brooks, will most cordially support the projeot
Of holding our great national centennial an
niversary in Philadelphia, and nowhere else.
Mr. Stevenson, of Ohio, in his remarks yes
terday displayed the proper spirit when he
said that in his opinion Cincinnati was a
suitable place for holding a great interna
tional exhibition, but that as the purpose of
the one under consideration was to celebrate
a great event the signing of the Declaration
of Independence Philadelphia was the most
appropriate place. The bill which
was under discussion yesterday
will probably come up to-day for a final
vote, and we believe that the majority of the
members will view the subject in the same
light as does Mr. Stevenson, and will prompt
ly pass it. If the American Institute of New
York, as Mr. Brooks suggests, intends to hold
an exhibition in July, 187G, anyhow, that is
their business and not ours; and we certainly
wish the New Yorkers luck with their show,
and hope that the one to be held in this
city will not cause it to altogether baukrupt
its projectors.
QRO UND-llENT LAW.
The recent publication of two decisions by
Judge Ludlow on the subject of ground-rents
in this county seems to have oocaslouei con
siderable doubting and misunderstanding in
some people's minds, for which there is
really sot the slightest cause. The principles
laid down by the learned j udge are unques
tionably sound, and be has expressed himself
in the clearest possible manner, so that it
strikes us that if individuals desire to under
stand his opinions as he means them and
wishes them to be understood, they
have on'y to read the statutes in
volved aud the opinions respecting
each, and then give the matter a single sober
thought. The statutes are the last two that
have been passed regarding grouud rents ia
Philadelphia, and they came before Judge
Ludlow upon a question of their constitution
ality. The first was the act of April 26, ISM,
which provides that "in all cases in which
ground-renta have been or may be extin
guished by payment or by presumption of law,
but no dued of extioguishuient or release
thereof shall have boon executed, it shull and
may be lawful for the owner or owners of the
land out of which the reut issues, or any
person interested, to apply by petition to tbo
Coin t of Common Pleas, where
upon snob court shall rank a suoli or lyr for
givibg notice, etc., . aud up jo.
du- proof bbing made of the truth
of ruul petition, the said Cjart are
authorized and requirod to mke a
decree declaring that the said ground-rent
is released, merged, and extinguished," etc.
In the case that brought into question the
constitutionality of this law, no payment or
demand of the ground-rents or acknowledg
ment of their existence had been made for
more than twenty-one years; and when the
court was asked to declare them extinguished
on this ground, the objeotion was made that
the law was nnconstitutional, because in giv
ing the court the power thus to deoree it de
prived the party of his right to trial by jury.
The judge held this reasoning to be falla
cious, for there was nothing to prevent the
court from awarding an issue and sending
the case before a jury, if such a course be
came necessary; and he sustained the law and
declared the ground-rent extinguished. This
certainly is plain enough. When proof ia
made that a ground-rent has slumbered un
disturbed for twenty-one years, the court may
declare it dead that is all.
The other was the act of April li, 1800,
providing for the abolition "of irredeemable
ground-rentp, which have for years proved a
heavy clog to real estate in this city. The
act says that the owner of land upon which
such a lien exists may cite the owner of the
lien into court for the purpose of coming to
terms for its extinguishment, and if they fail
to agree npon the amount to be paid, the
matter shall be referred to a jury, who shall
assess the damages; and upon the payment of
all expenses by the owner of the land, the
court shall decree the hitherto irredeemable
ground-rent to be extinguished. The objes
tion to the constitutionality of this was that
it divested vested rights and forced the owner
of the rent to part with it whether he wished
to do so or not. To be sure, the act provides
that the assessment of damages in
favor of the owner of the rent shall
never be less than twenty-one years
purchase thereof, but this ia of no weight
as affecting the constitutional question. Here
likewise Judge Ludlow is exceedingly explicit.
He holds the law to be constitutional on the
ground of publio necessity, the same ground on
which the laws abolishing entailed estates and
the proprietary titles of the Penns stand. One
statute says a ground-rent unclaimed for
twenty-one years may be declared by the
court to be extinguished, the other that all
irredeemable ground-rents may be abolished
upon compensation to the owner thereof; and
Judge Ludlow declares both statutes to be
constitutional. Both cases will doubtless be
taken to the Supreme Court for review, but
where is the difficulty in understanding the
matter as it now stands we fail to see.
It is easier for a young married man to
gradually acquire absolute ownership of a
comfortable home in Philadelphia than in
any other large city. The operation has been
so much simplified by the building associa
tions which abound here, to the number of
nearly one thousand, that practioally it
amounts to nothing more than paying a little
extra rent from quarter to quarter and year
to year. Any industrious artisan can become
the possessor of a good residence in Phila
delphia by making a series of payments
through ten years of a smaller aggregate
sum than would be required in New York for
the rent of a house possessing similar accom
modations. The Democracy of Pennsylvania have
promptly seized the first occasion that offered
for honoring Coffee-pot Wallace by electing
him Speaker of the Senate. A heavy debt of
gratitude was due to him for his distinguished
services in giving to false and bran-new natu
ralization papers the halo of antiquity; and
the debt has, in part, been promptly paid.
Our law-makers never act so nobly as when
they lavish honors npon men who break the
laws for partisan purposes, and exalt their
party above the Commonwealth.
The school-books and text-books teach
young men to love their country, and thereby
inculcate a confusing and dangerous error.
The real thing to be done if you are anxious
to figure in politics is to let your country
slide, and to go'your death for some one of the
robbers, or gangs of robbers, who fatten on
her life-blood. If you are a Philadelphian,
get into the Gas Ring. If you are a New
Yorker, put on the Tammany harness. If you
are a Pennsylvanian, swear by Cameron. Be
unjust and fear not, and the road to plunder
will be opened unto you.
It is said that Grant favors an increase of
the tax on tobacoo. As he is one of the
greatest smokers in the land, he gives evi
dence of genuine patriotism in urging suoh
an increase, and all other office-holders
fchould imitate his noble example. The mag
nates of our Row should petition the Legis
lature for an increase of the tax on their fees
and perquisites, and the favorites of Tarn-
many nail should make a free-will offering of
half their stealings to the authorities at
Albany.
Ir you want to get an office from the
Legislators or Senators at Ilarrisburp, put
yourself under training as a prize-fighter,
kick up a tremendous row, kill on a man or
two, make yourself notorious as a bully, and
demonstrate to the world that you are always
ready and anxious to disturb the peace of
the community.
THE BRITISH MLMSTKV.
A i'lianae Id the War Olilee Lord Htrath
nnlrn to Burrerd Mr. Cardwell Mouietliloa
About Ibo New Secretary ol Hial Ir War.
A cab'e telegram announces that ths Right
Hon. Edward Cariwell, Secretary of State for
War in Mr, Gladstone's Ministry, Is about to be
succeeded by Lord Strathnalrn, the contem
ulated chuune belus in t'oe interest of the war
party.
Loid Strathnuirn is the Right Hon. Sir Hugh
Henry Rote, G. C, B., G. C. S. I., a eon of the
late IMubt lion. Sir George II. Hose, who was a
member of Parliament for many years and
BrilUh Milliner at Berlin. Lord Strathnalrn
was born in 1303. was educated at Berlin, en
tered tbe army in 1S0, and after becoming
Lieutenant-Colonel, held successively the po'
lions of Consul-General in Syria, Secretary of
the Embassy, aud Charge d'Aflaire at ConUa
tinoplt, and English Commissioner at the head
quarters of the French army in tbe Crimea in
1855-50. While acting as Charge d Affaires at
Constantinople, he is credited by Klnglake, the
historian, with displaying great foresight la
urging upon tbe Admiral In command of the
Mediterranean fleet the policy of making a
demonstration at the critical moment when
Prince Menschikoff, by his domineering atti
tude, nearly succeeded in intimidating the Sul
tan and his Minister?.
During the Indian mutiny the command of
tbe Central India field torce was conferred upon
Lord Stratbnalrn, and for his services at this
critical period, which culminated In the fall of
Jhans),hewas created a K. C. B., and subse
quently a G. C. B., receiving also the thanks of
Parliament. He was also one of the earliest to
receive the honor of the order of the Star of
India.
On the return of the late Lord Clyde to Eng
land, Lord Strathnalrn became commander-in-chief
in India, and it became his task in this
capacity to superintend the amalgamation of
the Queen's forces with the armies of the late
Fast India Company. The zeal, energy, and
skill displayed by him in this task were instru
mental in reforming many old-standing abuses
and in preatly promoting the comtort aud effi
ciency of the troops.
In 1805 he resigned the position of Com-
mander-in-Chlcf in India, and subsequently
held the chief command of the forces in Ire
land. On July 28, 1860, he was rewarded for
his long and efficient services by being raised to
the peerage as Baron Strathnalrn, of Strath
nalrn, in the county of Nalra, and of JhansI,
In the East Indies. He holds at present the
rank of General in the British army, is Colonel
of the 45th Foot, and is regarded as one of the
best general officers in the British service. It
will be seen that ho is amply qualified, by ex
perience, for the position to which he is to c
appointee'.'
OBITUARY.
( harle II. Sweetzer.
Charles H. Sweetzer, a well-known journalist,
who has been interested In a number of news
paper enterprises, aiea on tne ist instant ai
Pilatka, Fla., of consumption. Mr. Sweetzer is
chiefly known as one of the founders of The
Round Table, a weekly literary journal which
for a time promised well, but which from a
variety of causes failed to receive the support
of the public. The Hound Table was finally
merged into The Citizen, and Mr. Sweetzer
started tbe New York Evening Mail In 1807.
In about a year's time he sold out his interest ia
the Evening Mail and started a daily morning
paper called the Vttj, which fallen to achieve
success. Mr. Sweotzer then removed to Minne
sota and started a weekly paper,
entitled the Mirror, at Minneapolis, but
this also failed, and he accepted the literary edi
torship of the Chicago Tribune. Last summer
he became alarmed at the symptoms of con
sumption that manifested themselves, and re
moved to Florida in the hope that he might be
benefited by the climate. He leaves a wife and
child to mourn his loss. Mr. Sweetzer was a
man of fine literary taste, and an elegant and
forcible writer. He waj interested in a number
of newspaper enterprises besides those men
tioned above, but he lacked business tact or
some other equally Important quality, and none
of them was successful. The Hound Table was
especially well planned In many respects, but
there were some great mistakes in its manage
mentone of which was its Democratic procli
vities that would have doomed to death much
abler literary journals than it ever was.
Stephen tlover.
Stephen Glover, a popular English story-
writer, died in London, on the Tth of December
last, at the age of 53 years. He was the author
of a great number of songs, many of which
have obtained a permanent popularity. Amoug
these may be mentioned "Why Do Summer
Roses Fade?" "The Monks of Old," "The Merry,
Merry Sunshine," and the dnet of "What are
the Wild Waves Saying ?" which was suggested
by an incident In Dickens' novel of "Dombey
and Son."
Thb Pacific Tkrminus ok thi Northbrn Pacific
Railroad. W. Mllnor Roberts, Esq., civil engineer,
in his special report on the route of tbe Northern
Pacific Railroad, gives tbe following opinion In re
gard to the industrial prospects of the extreme
Northwest:
"Next to the lumber trade In importance will he at
first the great fisheries on the Pacttlc coast; the
facilities for the accommodation of which will be
found at the terminus of this railroad, where the
vessels will be built, equipped, and found, complete,
with eveir needed appliance, aud manned read for
sea. I say 'at first,' because the day Is not far dis
tant when the manufactures which will grow up
around this world of waters will engender a com
merce far exceeding that arising from the fisheries;
and, as the forests recede under the insatiable
demands of an increasing growth of population,
agricultural products will Oil the apparent void, for
It is certain that the soil where these vast forests
now grow is remarkably prolific. And if at some
period la the future, when numerous flourishing
cities shall have grown up with the growth of this
Pacific coast, the timber should be exhausted, a
bountiful Frovidencs has stored np for the use of
the coming generations an abundant supply of coal,
an article which is the basis of most of the wealth
of Great Britain, and which, more than any single
product of the mines, has enabled the United States
to take her present st and amoDg the nations."
