Ninety-three years of history, across • Whose fair page the clouds of war and com mercial disasters have swept, time and again, Jant whose story is one of wonderful devel «pxnent and progress in all that goes to make a people prosperous and great. 4tj| It is not easy to realize all this unexampled | growth, as we look back to the first “Fourth of ' and the scenes which marked it, when ' fpjSvioble band of American patriots, gathered :i within a stone’s-throw of where we write,pro t claimed to the people that “these colonies are ' and of right ought to be free and independent A ! States.” It is not easy to realize that since 1 that -day, which yijever grows distant in any American naind, wfe have passed through suc glk cessive bloody wars, culminating hi the terrible IB,struggle for the Union, which ended, but yes- STOewlayy in the overthrow of Shivery and Re- Lrijellion; that we have grown from three toforty n pillions of free people; from thirteen to thirty- A Pven States; that we have spread out ail over £ vast Continent, until the" American people, ‘ “ jLind with.magic links-of iron, cover the of the Pacific, from Alaska to Jifornia, as they do the shores of the At §ic from Maine to Florida. In these ninety years, the United States, becoming the luge and home of the oppressed of all lands, s welded a strangely incongruous immigra p into’a homogeneous people of wonderful t'onajity; and lias developed, in that nation iffa, capSiicity for advancement in all the ■s of., true human progress that the world eneyer seen before. , the nation Is' in its infancy.-- And s'AjlihS' jproblem of Republicanism is iu : of solution. Stern trials and crucial been met, endured, triumphed !Oißut these are but the training for other jd. trials yet to come.

The Grand Jury, just discharged, took ot ferice, it now appears, at .the suggestions, made by several of the daily papers in this city, that they should proceed to the; investigation of the transactions by which,-the Beneficial Saving Fund secured the return of the property stolen from its vaults. In their anger the members of the Grand Jury came: into Court yesterday and inquired of Judge Ludlow if they could “take official action against tiie proprietors of public journals for the publication of certain articles, wliic’h, in their judgment, reflect unwarrantably upon themselves and upon the Court.” There upon Judge Ludlow delivered an opinion which does him honor. He took the high and proper ground that it would be better that the press should even overstep the boundaries of free speechjn its criticism of public men and things,- than that it should be muzzled so that it could not expose abuses. The Judge concluded by instructing the Grand Jury that it is a part: of its duty to make presentment of 'offences of which it has knowledge or observation. Without stopping to guess at the intellectual calibre of men who could deliberately medi tate prosecution of newspapers for advocating he suppression of an abuse, we may say hat this Grand Jury; would have been much more nearly in the line of duty had ac cepted the. suggestions of this journal and others, and proceeded to the investigation of the Saving Fund business and that system by which tliieves are permitted to compromise w ; ith theirvictims and thus escape punishment. Judge Ludlow' declares, as we have stated, that an ob ligation rests! upon the Grand Jury, to take cog nizance of just such offences. . ,'To be sure, it is specified that the Jury 'must have knowledge or observation’ of the crime. .This; does not mean that the jurors must sit still and wait in patience until knowledge is generated in their own-souls. A certain Grand Jiu-y that we know of vvould remain on duty for centuries if it trusted to its own perception to gain it intelligence. It must accept suggestions that are made to it by others —by the newspapers. It is the right and the solemn duty of a journal to expose abuses and crimes which threaten the well-being of the community; it is equally the duty of the Grand Jiu-y to consider well the suggestions made in this manner in the public prints; and if they seem just and proper, to proceed to an investi gation, and, if necessary, to a presentment of the criminals. We do not assert that any crime was com mitted by the managers of the Beneficial Saving Fund; but w e know that the securities stolen from the safe were returned in a mysterious manner, and that a sum of money was retained by the robbers w ithout protest from the victims. We said then, that this looked like compound ing a felony; and as this very thing had been done often before, and as encouragement of such a system placed a premium on crime, and made burglary such a safe and profitable busi ness that the property of all men was -placed in jeopardy, it became the Grand Jury to investigate the matter and act in accordance with the evidence, w-hatever that might be. The refusal of the Grand Jury to do this, was simply a refusal to do its manifest duty. We say this now, and will repeat it whenever similar neglect is apparent in any similar body. It is a matter for surprise and regre.t that any collection ot'_honest citizens should go into court with a whining complaint against outspoken . newspapers, which cotild have but a single object in urging them to do their duty: the enforcement of the laws for the protection of all the people. THE OIltLS’ SOB3IAL SCHOOL. It must have struck the vast audience at the Academy of Music, last evening, as a very singular thing that the Finance Committee of Councils should have dropped the item of $lOO,OOO for the Girls’ Normal School out of the general appropriation for school purposes. There is so much in this school for Philadel phia to be proud of, and its importance to the whole cause of popular education is so trans parently self-evident, that it is very hard to imagine any good reason for this refusal of an appropriation which is to bring to this people such a substantial and lasting return. The Girls’ Normal School of Philadelphia presented itself before the public, last evening, on the occasion of its annual Commencement, with such demonstrations of its admirable management and of the success which it is achieving, as leave no doubt in any intelligent mind as to the validity of its claims upon the most cordial encouragement and support of the people and of the Government of Philadelphia. This fine school, with its four hundred pupils maintains a higher educational standard than the Boys’ High School, and its whole Senior Class graduates, tins year, with a degree of proficiency in. all the branches of a liberal edu cation, and with a standard of qualification for the responsible oftiee-of teachers, mpst credita ble both to the Paeulty and the pupils of the school. The exercises of a commencement do not af ford any opportumty for a display of educa tional attainment,—except as shown by the high averages of the' 1 pupils,—except in the branches of composition, elocution and music. In these the pupils of the Girls' Normal School acqtutted 'themselves, last evening, admirably. In elocution, especially, we cannot too highly commend the instruction which has produced results far beyond any that we have ever seen in this direction; There was a fine breadth and freedom of style, combined with singular clearness and accuracy of enunciation, and de void of that stilted mouthing so common to the work of many elocutionists. And this was so marked as the “style” of the occasion, that it must be set down, not to tho special brightness and intelligence .of particular scholars, but to " tlie ~ high " 'Capacity and ' ' devotion of. their teacher. In / the : musical department, the Commencement of the Normal 43. iool also proved tl«s •• •teisdoiu of 4he School Controllers in their selection. "We want to see a very much higher order of musical com yositiojis introduced into tine Girla’ Normal :gVENiyg JULY 3,186& j School. We want to Jbcar' classical thorussea from the standard works of Mendolssobn and Handel and Haydn and the like, in place of the pretty but frivolous t£e. Boses,” Dqrp,” and “Distant But what was , sung,'was and proved " tkat the pupils are ftilly ready to move uptoa higher and for this branch of their studies. > T And now the Girls’ Normal School requires "more room, arid Jte requirements: must, not be. either postponed or ignored. ’ The advantage of a class of trained and’skilled female teach* ’era to tliis Community, is as great as thgt of trained and skilled mechanics. If the condng generations are'to be blessed with the benefits of a sound education, —and the future safety Of the Republic rests mainly upon this founda tion,—we nmst keep up a supply, of first-class, 1 teachers, - trained for, their. work as these graduates of the 1 Girls’ Normal School are trained; The present building is miserably insufficient for the requirements of the School. There should be a capacity for at least double the present number, and the Con trollers, in asking for SIOfyOOO for tills object, make a most reasonable and proper request. Until it is granted, a constant injustice is done to the grammar schools, whose pupils cue de barred from entrance to the N ormal School for want of room; and there will be an early and liberal response to the re quirements of the Controllers in behalf of a School which is the most important one under their jurisdiction, and which is an honor to Philadelphia and a public benefaction to all its future generations. > MEW The Age continues to fight shy of the Demo cratic nominations, and to refuse to say whether it approves them or not. Consider ing the fact that the Age has always heretofore been enthusiastic in its praise of Democratic candidates, even when they were very un worthy men, we have a right to construe its present silence into timid condemnation of the rascally nominations made by the Convention. But it would be very much more creditable to the courage aud honesty of the Age if it would .boldly give its, true opinion—which must be that most of the Democratic candidates are about tbe meanest, lowest, and most ruffianly fellows ever presented for the suffrages of an intelligent community. , j. .

HOW THE FOURTH OF JULY In seventeen hundred seventy-six , Our fathers found themselves in a fix Alton account of British tricks. Which were played on our infant nation. For the Britisher people laid a tax On the goods our fathers wore on their hacks, And tea, and soap, and sugar, and wax; Which filled them with desperation. And so our fathers (don’t you see ?) -Tossed the chests of taxable tea Into the depths of the briny sea, With all the tea that was in them : And, moreover, as everybody knows, They said wear British clothes, But dress themselves'insnch as those Which our mothers could knit and spin them. And they declared, the Fourth of July, That, if need be, they were willing to die, And this was the glorious reason why— To establish the nation’s freedom ! Hurrah! say we, for our fathers’ grit! Hurrah! for our clothes, that are sure to fit! Hurrah for Ko«ktuU & Wilson! that’s it!

Ilia BemlnlMencea of California—How Han Cranduco Oot tl«e Start. A correspondent of the San Francisco Alta ' California, writing from Washington, June , 13th, says: .. A veteran San Franciscan now in Washing ton, who frequently-visits uiy rooms to read up the flies of the Mta, called on General- Sherman at his residence lately, in. company with Senator Cole, to consult withihun in; regard to the location of the - Soldiere’- Home on the Pacific. He says the im pression made on bis mind by the great'sol dier was that of a Californian of ’4a—genial, frank and communicative, free, from, all pom posity and freezing politeness. The General warmed up with enthusiasm when relating remembrances of his early days in California (he went 1 there in 1319), talked glibly of the names of streets and familiar localities that had evidently made a lasting impressiou on his memory; and in reply to a question of his contemplated visit, said lie would “take a run over there some day soon.” When be “ran over there” before, it occupied IS! days of his > time. One anecdote he refated will perhaps be interesting, if not entirely new, to the readers of the Mta: “There were some pretty sharploperatora in real estate there,” said General Shennau. “LeidesdoffF, Folsom and others.after the gold discovery, formed a combination and man aged to got possession of aU tlie laud wort b liaviug at the time, and shaped the future des tiny of the place, which was thenjcalled ‘Yerba Buena’- A long, tall fellow, six or seven feet or So high, muned. Semple, ■ .not being included in their ring, went over to Vallejo’s rauche and-talked -that gentleman .into . giving /him a.. league or two of his immense tracts-of land fronting oh the Straits of Carquinez, promising to found a city, and name it in . honor of the General’s wife, Franciscaßenecia. The place was promptly surveyed, streets named, sites set apart tor public edifices, a number of lots donated to,influential companies and individ uals, and the city duly christened ‘Francisca.’ This movement alarmed Folsom and his friends, who immediately adopted a more liberal policy, with a vie w, to keeping trade at Yerba Buena. They oflered him (Shermanl lots for merely the. . legal expenses of transfer, which to-day are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and which he refused as worthless sand hills, regarding their ofifers as an insult to his intelligence. The enterprising Folsom perceived the advantifees of a name, The Bay'of San Francisco was marked on overy sailor’s chart, and vessels were up far ‘the Bay,’». e., San Francisco, in all parts of the world. 'Calling, bis • frieuds together, they in mass-meeting instructed the Avunta miento to change the name from ‘Yerba Buena’ to ‘San Francisco, ’ which was formally done. Semple protested against their appropriating the - name, on account of its similarity to his town already located, hut they stubbornly retained it, and lie subse quently changed the name of his place to Benicia, which fulfilled his promiseat any rate to name it after Senora Vallejo. But the skip pers of sailing craft arriving-itl the bay cast anchor, in the most convenient harbor which presented itself, rather than seek a better loca tion fofv-a city elsewhere: thus Yerba Bnena, alias San Francisco, took the start in the race,, which she has maintained under the patronage of the Saint until this day, notwithstanding its many natural disadvantages compared with its ancient rival Benicia."

J FniDAT* July 2.—Tho important announcement of the Secretary of the Treasury that he will to-tnorroW pur chase three millions of Government bonds, in addition to the usual one per cent, for the sinking fnnd; indicates' a desire on thopurt of tlittt official to. moke amends for tho contractionary policy.br which he has enabled the Wall Street speculators to inaugurate period of strin gency unparalleled in our l local finances, at tills season certainly; Sub-Treasurei Butterfield states in the advertisement that the; purchase, will; bo for tho Treasury Department, rtfio samo to be held subject to the future action of Congress.Yt does not interfere with or change the existing orders for the purchase of bonds on alternate Thursdays. The voice of the people will endorse' what Mr. BontwelJ intends doing. The Sinking Fund act was allowed to remain inoperative during tho career of his predeces sors; and while there cun be little doubt that ho has tho right to cancel bonds to the extent of one per cent; per 'annum for the time which has elapsed since the enactment of the law,he is, perhaps, prndentin awaiting the full confirmation of his acts by Congress; .Tpe eflcct of the news wagtu produce great cheerfulucHS and afeellng thattho money market must relax,especially as tho purchase of bonds and the usual disbursements of the government between the Ist and 3*l ln«t. will liberate about six millions of the heavy currency balances in the Treasury,’ The opening rate for money was about an i eighth. 7 Later in the day the apprehension re turned/when- attention was more generally di rected to the fact that this currency balance-bad iu creased to over 837,000,000 on the Ist Inst, The' usual amount kept in the Treasury has been eight or ten mil lions, so that Hr. Boutwell has suffered nearly thirty millions to accumulate idly in the government vaults. ThlsiffvirtuuicontractioD.forit lessens the circulating medium and-leaves a smaller'volume of currency with wbieli to do business. It is tobe'hoped that Mr. Boutwell is notaeontmctlouist: butthere are certain facts made apparent in the debt statements for the first four months or since he began Ills ad ministration. 1 Thus the legal tender notes have been re duced &ff 1,879, and the fractional currency §4,719,520; probably by merely not reissuing worn-out notes re deemed. The three percent, certificates have been re duced to §5j020,000, so that the whole amount of Trea surypaper available for reserve in the banks, and as the basis of bank currency and deposits, is §9,835,399 less than it was four months ago.

OoiumercLaJ paper was offered at teu to twelve per cent, for prime names, but no business was done ex .cept at tbe higher figure. • , • t .‘‘ ‘ * v The speculation in the Gold Boom was a repetition of that of the pa*t few days except that toward the close the strength of our bonds in the foreign market added a new depressing influence. At theopening the price was highest, in sympathy with the finer leeling in foreign ex change: but when the latter market became irregular and declined, nnder the better supply of bills drawn against shipments of produce and gov ernment bond*, there was a yielding to a reaction to 137Js, and thence, under the influence of thefnrther rise of five-twenties in Lon don, a dedins to 136>S at four o'clock. The flattering features of the debt statement, the proponed additional purchases of bonds, and the deferment of specie ship ments, broke the market, which was already prepared for a decline bjr the extreme rate* for carrying. The rates r paid for carrying to-day were .‘i, 3-16,5-32,7-32J*, 9-32 iohd 5-16 per cent. The disbursvmenU of coin interest , were $3,978X121, , , , * ’ some of the prime bankers gave the foreign exchanges u firm look by opening their rates at 109% for sixty day bills; Under the pressure of tight money, however, and ; the better Supplr of bills, especially late in the day, when it was known by >priyate telegrams that fire twenties in London had gone upto BU£, there were a great many offering at low figures, and the. market wcame irregular. . , , , . . . Al The GoverumenMnarkel was extremely buoyant, the 67’s rising a clear one percent, upon the prices of yester day and the 62 T * advancing about seven-eighths. Its strength was nil the more remarkable that tho strm genev in money continued* purchasers deliberately fac ing the prospect of having to pay high rates to hare their bonds carried, and that gold declined. The secret of tho rise was the proposition of the Secretary of the Treasury to buy three millions to-morrow, which was very favorably interpreted in Europe, the price in Lon don rising to The continued decline in gold and the closing activity induced a fractional reaction late in the afternoon. The stock market was a barometer in reflecting the popular impressions of the money market. It opened buoyantly, but did not attain the highest prices of yester day. Under the pressure for money it fell off again, but the fluctuations were comparatively notjwide. New York Central ranged from 195 to and Lake Shore from 109 to 110.

The main feature of the celebration in this city will he the unveiling of the statue of Washington, to be presented to the city by the pupils of the public schools of the First School District. The project of this monument ori ginated about ten years ago, in the public Schools. - . For the jnirpose of raising funds a grand fair was given at National Hall, some years since, and about $5,000 wereraised on that occasion. Shortly afterwards, those having charge of the matter advertised for plans for a monument,and about SI,OOO were expended in this manner without any definite result. Lec tures and floral fairs were then given to raise money, but the Committee succeeded in losing by them about $4OO. The money on hand was then invested in United States securities, and, after a lapse of time, a movement was made duringthepresentyear to raise additional funds" to obtain a statue of 'Washington. The statiie was ordered and has been completed for several months. The base, which was put up yesterday, is constructed of Richmond granite, and is ten feet in height. In the cor ner-fitone was placed a box containing the newspapers of the day and reports of the Washington Monument Association, and of the Board of Controllers of theFublic Schools. The figure was placed in position this morn ing, and attracted considerable attention. The statue is the work of Mr. J. A. Bailly, and was modeled and carved by him at ms atelier in the marble-yard of Mr. John Stroth ers. It is ah eminently trotliful, chaste, sober, and tasteful Work of art. It is carved out of a single block of Italian marble eight feet six inches in height, and represents Washington standing by the side of a pedestal, on which a book is placed, with Washington’s right hand resting on it. The left hand rests on the hilt of a sword. The face is modeled after Hon don, who was undoubtedly-the' most accom plished artist to whom Washington ever sat. The costume is the Continental dress of cere mony, representing velvet and satin. No at tributes of War are introduced,the sword being merely a dress-sword. The’Board of School Control, school direc tors, teachers and pupils of the public schools, heads of departments, members of Select and Common Councils, the military of the city, and other bodies, will take partm the ceremo nies of unveiling on Monday. The cadets attached to the Sixth School section will he detailed as a guard of honor, and all associa tions bearing the name of Washington are in vited to participate.

The exact time, however, has not as yet been determined. * THE FBESIKENT’S MOVEjrESTS. . President. Grant will leave here about the 15th of July,.to he absent several weeks. He expects to go to Hong Branch and the White Mountains, and it is very probable that he will attend the'Commencement at Dartmouth N.H>. Secretary . Fish is expected to return here on the 10th instant, and remain : until - the 20th, when ho Will again leave, to spend some time at his country place on the Hudson. Until the President aim Sec retary Fish return from their summer trips, it is more than probable that nothing will be done in'regard to the Cuban question. The present policy will be adhered to of enforcing, m as quiet but energetic, a way as possible, the neutrality laws. y As the situation remains Unchanged in Cuba, according to the official accounts received, there appears to be no reason for our Govern ment to depart from its present attitude. J [Correspondence of the Associated Press.] Washington, July 3.— The Navy Depart ment has despatches from Rear-Admiral Hoff, commanding, the North Atlantic squadron, dated Key West, the 19th and 24th of June. They contain no news of great importance. Havana is reported quiet, and no apprehen sions are entertained of any disturbance. Some account is given of the engagements between Hie government troops , and the in surgents. The brigade of Brigadier Ferrar, which left Nuevitas on the 2fith of May, to reinforce the troops at Puerto Padre, had returned in a pitable condition, the cholera having broken out among them. They secured tlieir object— the convoy of a train from Puerto .Padre to Eas Tunas, in the interior. They were har- Tassed and finally attacked at Ea Bernosa and the rebels were repulsed with a loss of 80. The Spanish loss was 76 killed and wounded. The insurgents weregiven credit for bravery and for retiring in good order. There was a report of an intention on the part of the Span iards to give up the railroad between Nuevitas and Principe; It is still used for conveying' troops backward and forward. The United States steamer Nipsic was at Trinidad de Cuba on June 11th. There was no news there. American interests were receiving full protect tion. The Spanish steamship Ferdinand el Cato lico arrived at Neiivitas on June 12th, with the English-fichooner La Have in tow, having seized her while in tow of another steamer, about sixteen miles from' the Cuban coast, between Inagua and Point Maysi. The schooner’scargo issaid to eonsistofthirteen, guns two of them 200-pounder Parrotts,and the other 100-pounders and field-pieces; also, lumber, powder, cartridges, shells and shot, in large quantities. The La Have cleared from Boston for Ja maica, hut Hayti is supposed to have been her destination. The Englisn Commodore and the British Consul-General had protested against the seizure, and the Spanish trav. steamer had sailed from Havana in company with the La Have for the purpose it was rumored, of de livering her to the British authorities in Jamaica.
