1868 IN NEW YORK.
There was an assemblage of Americans,
not altogether unknown to fame, who, in an
instrument of writing dated in Philadelphia
July 4th, 1770, which haß been held in vene
ration ever since, made the solemn declara
tion that “ All Men were Created Equal."
Ninety-two years later than this memorable
date, on the 4th of July, 1868, an assemblage
of Americans will meet in the city of New
York, who are expected to declare, among
many things of less importance, that All
Men were Not Created Equal. In other
words, the original, pure Democracy, which,
revolted against Great Britain and cre
ated a Republic of the United States,
made a declaration in 1770, which
the modem, impure and degraded De
mocracy, of 1808 find must be combatted; not
because humanity is changed, physiologically
or mentally, morally or materially, but be
cause an organization, strangely misnamed
the Democratic Party, is anxiouß to recover
the control of the Federal offices which it haa
lost, and has not a principle, a doctrine or an
idea on which it can appeal for votes, except
a certain prejudice against a dark complexion,
Which is known to prevail very extensively
among people of a light complexion. In
order that this prejudice may be humored,
the Democracy of 1808 prepoßes to set itself in
opposition to the Democracy of 1770, and to
pronounce in New York a doctrine exactly
antagonistic to that pronounced in Philadel
phia nearly a century ago.
It has been a custom, on all Fourth of July
celebrations, especially among the so-called
Democracy, to have some individual of
fine, sonorous voice read aloud the
glorious Declaration of Independence,
which iB held in more veneration
by American patriots than is Magna Charta
by the patriots of England. Will the as
sembled national Democracy adhere to this
time-honored, custom ? It will be shocking
if they refuse. But let us see What the reader
will have to utter. “We hold these
truths to be self-evident: that all
men (not all white men, 'or all
red men, or., all black men, but ai.i. men)
are created equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable rights ;
that among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.” This iB in the opening
passage that the reader will have to proclaim
to his Democratic brethren in New York. It
is the fundamental doctrine on which rest all
the complaints against the tyranny of Great
Britain which are contained in the rest of
the immortal State paper. This Declaration
was penned by a man who became, after
wards, deservedly famous as a true Demo
crat ; but it was adopted as the Voice of a
nation. It was, says the historian, “the gen
uine effusion of the soul of the country at that
time, the revelation of its mind, when in its
youth, its enthusiasm, its sublime confronting
of danger, it rose to the highest creative pow
ers of which man is capable. * * * The
heart of Jefferson in writing the Declaration,
and of Congress in adopting U beat for all
humanity ; the assertion of right was made
for the entire world of mankind and all
coming generations, without any exception
zvhatevcr ; for the proposition which ad
mits of exceptions can never be self-evident"
These are the comments of an original
Democrat, George Bancroft, who has made
the Declaration of Independence, and its
results, the study of a lif -time. He wrote
them before 18G0, before secession and re
bellion, and before the emancipation of the
slaves in America was thought of as a possi
bility. He had no expectation that the party
t j which he belonged would, for the mere
sake of expediency, votes and office, be
obliged to array itself, a few years later, in
hostility to the doctrine he thus eulogized as
the real foundation of Democracy. But he
lives to ~ee that party, through its deliber
ately chosen representatives, declare, in 1808,
that the doctrine of 1776 was
false. If there be a reader of the
Declaration chosen by the Democracy
assembled in New York on the 4th of July,
he will have to submit to see his solemn ut
terances repudiated by the platform that the
Convention must adept. For, after all, ex
cept repudiation of the national debt, there is
no important article of faith npon which the
modem Democracy can go before the coun
try, except the inequality of men, more
popularly known as hatred of “the nigger.”
How can they, then, without blushing, ask
any one of their number to read the Declara
tion of Independence of 1776 ?
SaLABIES.
The laborer is worthy of his hire, and a
man or woman whose work lies in a Depart
ment office at Washington, ought to be well
paid if it- is expected that an ordinary degree
of moral tone is to be preserved, in an atmos
phere which is not the best calculated to pro-
mote the most robust integrity. But the
laborer is hot worthy of inore than his hire,
and the fashion that has obtained in late
years of bringing In bills for an increase of
the compensation of the whole army of go
vernment clerks, male and female, and put
ting tbemv through Congress during its.
closing legislation, is becoming very
much overaone. Washington is a very
expensive and very disagreeable place
of residence, but the offices are sought with
a decree of feverish eagerness which proves
that they are considered worth having, de
spite the precarious nature of their tenure,
and other drawbacks attending them. Men
and women are thankful to get tho appoint
ments at the salaries fixed by law, and until
the finances of the country are" in a better
condition than at present, there should be no
favor shown to these annual demonstrations
upon Congress for an increase of pay.
Justice before generdsity is as good a rule
for the government as for individuals. The
United States Government needs retrench
ment in all its expenditures and not expan
sion. Whenever it can be afforded, we should
like to see such a general increase in the rate
of compensation for public service as would
comport with the dignity of a great nation,
and warrant a better class of men in accept
ing office. There should be a total abolition
of all fees and emoluments, and a liberal ;
salary paid, for every department of public
duty, and in no way v would official corruption
be more effectually checked and rooted out.
But until the Government is a little richer
than it is just now, there is a mani
fest impropriety in adding two
milliobs to the public expenditures in the
government offices at Washington; and we
trust that Mr. Bingham will be in no haste to
bring up the bill for increasing salaries which
he, yesterday, rescued from the Senate after
its passage by the House. If Congress can
pass an efficient revenue law that will stop
the present fearful leak in the Treasury,
and Mr, Johnson can be forced to execute it
with a reasonable degree of honesty, the time
will soon come when salaries can be raised;
but just now the country demands contrac
tion and not expansion in the national expen
ditures.
VERY OENTEEL.
TheMoyamensing Hose Company was very
properly put out of service on Monday even
ing, by Chief Engineer McCusker, for its
brutal assault upon the Washington Hose
Company, during the firemen’s parade. The
company,being thus released from its onerous
duties in extinguishing fires, immediately
turned its attention to social amenities, and
yesterday was. “at home” to the visiting
brethren from Harrisburg. The occasion
was one of the most unsophisticated and
elegant geniality. The members who
had received black eyes or other in
juries, during the fray of Monday,
had been put under a vigorous treatment of
raw beef, vinegar and brown paper, and were
made as presentable as possible; if there were
any arrests, the mild influences of Alderman
HcMullin had already been interposed in
their bebalf, and everything was as serene
around the hose house as if its interesting in
habitants had never
‘ Heard of battles, nor had longed
To follow to the field their warlike chief.”
The “Friendships” presented themselves at
the classic castle of the McMullin, and were
received with all that suavity of manner
which becomes the suspended fireman. Un
accustomed as the active fireman usually is
to public speaking, it is common to enlist the
services of some eloquent honorary member,
or other silver-tongued orator, on these occa
sions. Y'esterday the Moyamensings, being
entirely at leisure to devote themselves to the
Fine Arts, conducted their hospitalities re
gardless of expense. Joseph A. Bonham,
Esq., was spokesman for the “Columbia,’
the host of the “Friendship.” Mr. Bonham
generously sacrificed time and eloquence in
introducing the strangers to the redoubtable
followers of the McMullin. His speech,
in the regular vernacular, was “neat an 3 ap
propriate,” nor could the keenest criticism
detect any thing but the most disinterested
devotion to the cause of the fireman, in his
eloquent remarks.
Unto Bonham replied Northrop, also
Esquire and member of the bar. Northrop,
nattiest of Philadelphia lawyers, surpassed
Bonham in his disinterested affection for the
suspended fireman. He declared, in finely
rounded periods, that while the Moyamens
ing Hose survived, even in a condition
of suspended animation, no man
should dare to say that the age
of chivalry had passed away. Northrop’s
speech is but imperfectly reported in the
morning papers, but it is not hard to fill out
the suggestive outline. We see him point
ing to the horn and spanner, dinted and bat
tered on many a hard-fought field. We hear
his liquid notes tremble with emotion as he
recalls the gallant storming of the stronghold
of the “Hope” and the “Shiftier.” The tear
Btands on his gold eye-glasses as he tells of
broken noses, of gashes and of scars, the
proud badges of honor of those who had car
ried the standard of the “Moyamensing” in
many a midnight fray. The whole field
of ancient and modern chivalry passed before
the enthusiastic vision of the gushing Demo
cratic orator, and Bonham must have felt that
he was absolutely nowhere. jgSB
Northrop is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for District Attorney, but there is
no possible connection between the two
things. Northrop goes before the lamb 3 of
Moyamensing, but the resemblance between a
Fireman Shepherd and a— No! we scorn
the suggestion!
HENRY W. LOSGFELIiOW, EE. D.
Cambridge, England, has just paid a com
pliment to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and to
American literature in general. It? famous
University yesterday conferred the degree of
LL. D., Legurn Doctor, or Doctor of Laws,
upon Professor Henry W. Longfellow. The
ceremony took place before a large assem
blage of distinguished men and women, and
certainly the great poet of New England has
a right to feel gratified with the honor con
ferred and the manner of conferring it.
Just now there is a very manifest anxiety
among the people of England to secure the
friendly feeling of the people of the - United
Stateß. The press of London is unnecessarily
eulogistic of the newly and well-chosen Min
ister of the United States to the Court of St.
THE DAILY EVENING BUIIjETIN—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY JUNE 17,1868.
Jameß. His predecessor, Mr. -Adams, was
overloaded, just before be retired from his t>f
flee, with social compliments and newspaper
laudations, which were.in strange contrast
with the coldness, almost amounting to inso
lence, with which he was" treated when the
rebellion raged in this country, and when the
English werfl fitting out pirate-steamers and
blockade-runners, subscribing to cotton loans
and encouraging all Southerners to persevero
in their efforts to destroy the Union.
.Perhaps the Alabama question has some,
thing to do with the enthusiasm in England
over Professor Longfellow’s arrival, as well as
over Beverdy Johnson’s appointment. But
whether this be so or not, Longfellow has
a pubUc ~in Greatr~Britaur that loves and
admires him; for it is a well known fact that
his poems are more generally read than those
of aDy living English poet, not even except
ing Tennyson. -There have' been scores of
editions of Longfellow published in England,
to one of Tennyson. The absence of an
international copyright law has, how
ever, much to do with this; for
while there may be hundreds of cheap edi
tions of American books in England, there
are rarely any cheap editions of works by
living English authors. This - circumstance
has favored Longfellow in England, as it has
favored Dickens in America. Longfellow is
m'ore read by the English of all classes than
any contemporary English poet; and there
can be no doubt that whatever honors are
bestowed upon him by the learned, the
wealthy and the aristocratic, will simply
reflect the great admiration and respect felt
for him by the intellectual English of all
classes. -
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading
Pendleton organ in the West, requires of the
National Democratic Convention the adop
tion of a platform, plank No. one of which
shall be as follows:
“1. The five-twenty bonds can be legally paid
In legal-tenders and ongbt to be so paid.”
This is not qnite up CD the mark of Mr.
Micawher’s mode of settlement with his
friends Copperfield and Traddles.. Mr. M.
had given them sundry I. O. U,’s in exchange
for sundry honest pounds, shillings and pence
which he had borrowed of them,
and when settlement day came around,
he paid off each of them with a
due bill, protesting, with tears in his eyes,
that he never could have been happy if he
had failed to meet his engagements promptly.'
The Pendletonian plan is not quite so absurd
and unjust as the Micawber arrangement,
but,in its degree,it is just as bad. The money
market is properly esteemed the most sensi
tive of all barometers of public opinion, and
the rate at which. Five-twenties have been
going upward for some time past shows how
little importance is attached to what either
Mr. Pendleton or his organs think concern
ing repudiation, either in part or in toto ,
either direct or by implication.

Our Standard Havana Cigars under above brand are
made of beat VucltaAbajo Leaf, imported by ourselves,
and worked in our own factory, perfectly pore and free
from the slightest "doctoring.”
They have, by their intrinsic merits, overcome preju
dice, and established the brand in public favor mucb
more rapidly and more fully than we had dared to hope.
Being strictly of high grade, the "Mariana Ritatt are in
tended for smokers of fine cigars, who object to tho price
of those Imported,—but they are not . addressed to those
willing to buy imported cigars, regardless of price. To
meet our share-of the latter demand, we continue our
importations from Havana.
The "Mariana Rita” brand comprises eighteen
varieties of eize and price—all of equal leaf—viz: 4
Pressed, 6 Conchas andTElegantes, 6 London, and 2 Rega
lia. and these range in price at from 25 to 40 per cent, less
than similar grades of Imported Cigars.
Leading grocers and dealers keep them for retail, and
by the box. Remember the brand, "Mariana Rita,”—and
see that each box bears our trade marked label.

Mr. Iloxie, third of the class,,demands notice.
His father, a wealthy gentleman, was lost, with
his entire fortune, on flic ill-fated Austria, leaving
his son in comparative poverty. On the break
ing out of the war the young man joined a cav
alry regiment and served three years, enlisted as
a veteran, and upon the termination of the war
entered the Military Academy, and now gradu
ates third of his class. Some years ago several
Congressmen from this -city agreed to send as
candidates for admission to the Military Academy
such boys from Ward schools as were recom
mended by their teachers and fellow pu
pils. By this generous policy five offi
cers have been made for the army,
every one adding honor to the station. Mr.
Casey, of New York, in the Graduating Class
this year standß No. 13. At three o'clock to-day
the “middies” dined in the mess room of the
cadets and with them. No officers were present,
and the “boys” enjoyed themstlves amazingly.
The Practice Fleet still remains at anchor in the
Stream. The officers of the ships’give the officers
of the post a grand ball on Thursday evening.
Both the Macedonian, and the Savannah will have
bands on board, and dancing will take place on
both ships. / .
Extenaivej)reparations are being made to make
it a grand affair. Invitations are extended to dis
tinguished guests. The cadets, are to build a
pontoon bridge from the shore to the vessels, add
thus the ladies will not soil their evening dresses.

[Special Corroipendtnce ef the Philadelphia Etotlih
Bulletin.]
New Brunswick, June 17th, 1868.—'The usu
ally quiet city of New Brunswick has been con
vulsed with a series of unusual excitements
dnring the present week, which culminated at
the Commencement exercises of yesterday. Ex
aminations and roll calls are all over for several
months, and now the pleasant days of Commence
ment week have been enjoyed by the happy throng,
from the incoming freshmen to the outgoers re
joicing In the new title of “alumni.” On the
College campus, whose green lawn slopes down
to the railroad, and which travelers to New York
always admire, there have been gathered hun
dreds of old graduates to catch some ot the joy
fol life of ’69 boys, and sport their old fraternity
ribbons and society badges, while high over all
waved the new College flag, with tricolor,
orange, white and blue. In the College chapel
the walls are resplendent with the.shields of the
fraternities . and rather sombre with
the stern faces ol the founders of this venerable
but vigorous college. Here, on Sunday morning,
the baccalaurate sermon was preached by the
President, Kev. Dr. Campbell, D. D„ before the
graduating class, from the text. In EccL 9.18.,
"Wisdom is better than weapons of war.” To
the students at least, the beautiful dav, and the
still greater beauty of many lair virgins, the oc
casion was one of nnosnal solemnity and interest.
On Monday afternoon, the banks and bridges
of the red-banked Raritan were crowded with
spectators, and the river was alive with rowers
to witness the grand race between the "Dread
nought," of Bachelor's, Barge Club, and thonew
racing boat of the University Club, both boats
being eix-oared out-rigged gigs. On . the
start, the skillful stroke and perfect
position of tho students told of
the fruits of discipline of three months,
but any one who ba3 been in a race knows full
well tlmt the heaviest strain is in the ' first half
mile: so it proved in this case; at first the two
boats kept abreast, then the Collegians gained
steadily, until in 23 min., 10 sec., the three miles
had been rowed, and victory settled upon the
flog of the University boat, one minute and a
ball, before the cheers of triumph had ceased,and
the Dreadnought came in with the silence of de
teat.
On Tuesday, at 12 M., after anniversary ex
ercises hod been held in eacli of the Literary So
ciety HallE, the procession was formed and pro
ceeded to the First Reformed Church, where
Hon. Erastus Benedict, of New York, addressed
the alumni and students, in a recondite and able,
if not sprightly, address. . In the afternoon the
annual meeting of the alumni association
was held in the chapel, and judging from
the interest manifested, there was both enthu
siasm and ability shown tn the plans suggested
and organized for the prosperity of the College.
At 4 P. M. the Scientific 'School, which la con
nected with the College, and is the Agricultural
school of New Jersey, held their annual com
mencement:' Beyen students graduated, and an
essay on the steam engine, by one of the class,
William E. Kelley, was a masterly production.
Of the scope and aim of this department of edu
cation, we will speak more particularly to-mor
row.
In the evening the Junior exhibition was held,
the large edifice was completely jammed, and the
array of beauty was positively stunning to the
Junior orators, each of whom was greeted atjthe
close of his speech by ronnds of applause, and a
perfect cloud of wreathß.flower-baskots,bouquets
and society emblems. The music, which was by
Grafulla’s 7th regiment band, was exquisite. The
oratory reflected great credit upon the tireless
drilling of the Professor of Rhetoric. The pro
gramme was as follows:
T. D. Frnzee, “Self Sacrifice;" R. C. Pruyn,
“Utility;" John Hart, “Influence of the Past;”
W. L. Terhune, “A Nation’s Ingratitude;" J. T.
Van Cleef, “Tyranny;” C. L. Knapp, “Self—A
Nation's Destroyer;’ 1 W. E. Griffis, Philadelphia,
Pa., “Loyalty to Law.” .
To-morrow the Commencement exercises
proper take place.
A SOUTHERN HISTORIAN IN
TICOPBLE.
ITlrs. JE. A. Pollard. In a Brooklyn
Police Court.
Edward.A. Pollard, the well-known Southern
historian, has turned up under curious circum
stances. Yesterday his wile, Mrs. Mqdelaide E.
A. Pollard, appeared before justice Cornwell, at
the Brooklyn City Hall, and preferred a com-
Slaint against , Mrs. Crotty and Miss
rotty, her daughter residing at No. 81
Cranberry street, for assault an<f battery. While
before the magistrate, she stated that Mr.
Pollard left her about , three weeks ago, since
which time she had been engaged in hunting him
up. That she went to bis place of business m
New York yesterday morning, when he accom
panied her to his present residence, 81 Cranberry
street. When reaching the house, some demon
strations were made, which resulted in her being
summarily ejected from the premises,. and used,
as she stated, in a most shameful manner. Mr.
Pollard, accompanied her before the Justice,
and stated to the 'Magistrate that she
came to his place of business in New York and
threatened to shoot him. : The Justice then asked
her if she had a pistol, to which she replied that
she had not, and, throwing her arms out,- said,
“ You can search me." She stated farther that
she had to pawn her diamonds and other jewelry
to pay his hotel bills, to which Mr. Pollard
responded that she was a maniac, and that
by reason of' her jealons disposition and ac
tions his business had been much interfered
with. She also stated that she had been mar
ried to him three years ago, but that about one
year since she had discovered that he had been
married to another woman; when Bhe left him.
Upon hearing that he had been divorced from
this other woman, she was married to him again.
She stated that sho foow resided in East Thir
teenth street, New York. Altogether, the case
appears to bo surrounded by (curious circum
stances, which will probably be explained more
fully this morning, when the case will come up
before Justice Cornwell for examination jV. Y.

collaterals, was four, There is very little commercial
paper offering, and the best grade is search, and inde.

well supplied with funds, and loans on call are made at
Chicago at six percent, a significant fact whence con
siderUiatthe usual rate is ten. There is no probability of
