NIAL CEILEBIEULTIOII. I The Corigresssional Committee " did " Phil adelphia very thoroughly and very satisfactorily yesterday, and while they will probably return to Washington each to advocate the particular locality in which he is personally interested, it will be with an enlarged idea of the growth and importance of Philadelphia,and with &conviction that, ail local prejudices aside, Philadelphia is the proper place for the centennial celebration of American Independence. There is no need to argue this point before Philadelphia audiences. The proposition,ad mite of no reasonable dispute, and we trust that our representatives in Congress will take the most advanced and positive ground in urging that if there is to be any national re'cog nition of the great anniversary, it shall•be made upon the historic ground upon whicb the nation began its life, and where there are now collected such varied illustrations of its expanding strength and growth. ' But Philadelphia must not stop here. We must not be content to ask Congress to allow the Centennial celebration to be held here. We must determine, in advance, that Philadel phia will celebrate the Centennial anniversary upon her own soil, and among her own peo ple. With all her historic associations, with all her vast population,with all her great industries, with all her vast resources, why should Phila delphia desert the nation's birth-place and go anywhere else to celebrate the nation's birth? It is not necessary to multiply proofs of Phila delphia's ability to hold her own Centen nial celebration, and to give it a national promi nence and importance,. beside. The Great Central Fair, of 1864, will live in the latest memories of this generation, as a splendid illus tration of what Philadelphia enterprise and public spirit can do. And they would do far more, under the inspiration of the Centennial_ celebration of American Independence. We trust that Congress will have the mod sense to recognize Philadelphia, not only ds a proper place for the celebration, but as the only proper place for it. But if sectional prejudices should be permitted to 'prevail over - all other considerations, and some other locality should be arbitrarily determined upon for the pur pose, then Philadelphia must courteously de cline to leave home on that eventful day, and there will be a very large portion of the family from all parts of the country who will be de-. lighted to spend the birthday around the old cradle ; and Philadelphia will give them such a 'welcome as will befit the occasion. IRE NEGRO CADETS AT WEST POINT. When the announcement was made that. negro cadets had been sent to West Point, ii was well understood that they would occup3 an exceedingly unpleasant position, even if the professors received them with respect and the white cadets abstained from violent demon strations against them. But there was a strong popular faith in the, ancient theory that Wes lola transforms every man into a gentleman; and those who held this theory felt assured that the older cadets, whatever their prejudices, - would at least act upon thatrprinciple which conipelti a gentleman to treat with courtesy even those whom he may regard as his infe riors. We are sorry to say, however, that certain of the graduates and cadets of the Academy have done their best to destroy popular confidence in the himianizing and civilizing influences of the institution, by behaving towards the negro cadets in a manner of which the Meanest blackguard in the lowest rank of the Democratic party would be ashamed. Reports of the outrages committed against these unoffending youths have beet, circulated for some time past, but we find in a letter to a New York paper the first definite account of the precise character of the persecu tions to which these negroes are subjected. The writer says: " concerning the words of burning insult heaped upon these colored boys by the white cadets I must tell the truth and let the re sponsibility fall where it must. I have heard 'white cadets (of the older cla.ssesl say to these buys while on drill most fiendish. things. A cadet. who graduated two days ago said in 3,1 y hearing, and while the colored cadets were on drill : • You d—d niggers, why don't you get away from bete ?" You speckled cuts, you haws like a dead nigger." Look at he !' We'll put the d— black rascals in the river,' &c. These are common ..pithets, and they are said directly to the face of the colored cadets. Burning with indigna tion, said to a graduating cadet thus swear ing : • Hush ! don't say these things right to the poor boys; don't speak so loud. The answer was in a louder voice : ' I want these stinking black rascals to bear me, and then j4et away from here.' The indignities they heap upon them would be unbearable to any white boy of spirit. Hundreds of times day they are publicly called names to their faces, so mean that I blush to think of them. 1 dare 'rot write them." If this report is correct, and of its truth we have no doubt whatever, the young men who committed the outrages must forfeit the title of gentlemen ; and the public must admit that _the claim_of the Academy -to-be an institution where men are refined into a polished and elegant aristocracy is altogether unreasonable and false. But there is something more to be done than the siniple denial of the right of these boors to the respect, of, decent, men. This penfeentien must be stoppeth• and the authors of it must be puniShed. The West Point Academy belongs to the people of the United Suites, and it is supported and paid for with their money. They have determiDed that negroes shall have ".their -rights as citizens of this Dation, and they recognize the claims of negro 'soldiers upon the Country, and the._ ex„, cel ien the members. of the race during the late war. 7bese begroes were appointed in conformity 'to the popular wish ; and their p * limits were •freade properly and kpally by the same ptTer, that placed to whito,cadets inthe Academy. They have as good a right there as the whitemen; and while they are there', it is thotinty,of' the governinene to protect them-from insult, 'to punisk their persecutors and to see that they have as fair a chance as any of the cadets' to profit ity,the 4dvantages of the institution. --To secure these results it will be necei.ary that the officers of the Academy shall be just men, 'who Will treat the negroes with impartiality and defend their rights. If the present staff will not do this, it should'be 'reconstructed immediately. We do not know that its members are disposed to treat the negroes unfairly, but it is reasonable to conclude that such is the cat() if they permit thein to be insulted openly while they are on , duty. Either they wink at the seandalous conduct of the asSailants or they are incapable of maintabfing that discipline which is neces sary in an institution of this character. Some of the persons mentioned in the report from which "we.; quote are graduates; • and; therefore, amenable only to the 'regulations of the army. As . the .Secretary of War Sympa thizes with the negro cadets and desires to give them a fair chance, and, as he , is a just and honorable man, and a gentleman, we.hope he Will inquire , into the conduct of these graduates, and if :they: are guilty of the offences charged; secure their dismissal from the army. The in fliction of such a just penalty in a few cases would insure the Cessation of the outragespf which complaint is made. "METROPOLITAN.MILK." That New York is a great city, nobody, in his sober senses, will deny" How its people manage to live and to keep up their great ap pearances, no philosopher has yet been able to explain. But there is at least one class of its enterprising citizens the method of whose livelihood . is reduced to a chemical analysis. We mean the milk-dealers. The Metropolitan Board of Health, unlike its kindred body ii :this city, has been engaged in a series of 'very interesting investigations of various subjects, such as the milk supply, the kerosene question, the gas question and. similar topics, with many valuable results. With regard to the adulteration of milk, Dr. C. F. Chandler, the chemical expert of the Board, has established - the fact that, while there is little or no use of those substances that, are popularly supposed to enter largely into our milk jugs and cream-pots, such as chalk, flour, cerebral matter, &c., &c., there is a tremendous infusion of water. As the result of a large series of experiments, it is determined that the "metropolitan" milk is composed, on the aver age, of three parts of pure milk and one part of water. LaSt year New York and Brooklyn received from the country 120,000,000 quarts Of:milk. - To this were added 40,000,000 quarts of water, and the mixture was Sold at ten cents per quart, or four millions of dollars, paid for Croton water, disguised as milk.- In many of the specimens analyzed the propertion . of water . was over ono-half, and quite a number - of enterprising dealers - 'managed to get fiftfp, , rix per cent. of water into their cans. We doubt if our Philadelphia milk-dealers are generally up to the standard of their New York brethren of the dairy. But they are not unacquainted with the merits of the pump,and some of. them may not be far behind the Gothamite standard. Taking that standard as a guide, the milk business must be as profit able as a seat in the Legislature, or any equally ;ticrative position. Milk sells in Philadelphia at from eight to ten cents per quart. The dealer buys it from the farmer at four cents, dry Measure, which is ten per cent. larger than liquid measure. The farmer delivers it at the railroad and pays . the freight to town. The dealer adds twenty five per cent. of water, and then if he sells at ten cents per quart, we have this result: One hundred quarts, dry measure, costing $4, pro_ dice one hundred and ten quarts, liquid measure. Add one quart of water to every 'Mee quarts, and we have one hundred and forty-seven quarts, costing four dollars, and selling for fourteen dollars and seventy cents! Squeets was right when he exclaimed, as he gazed into the blue depths of his wretched lit tle boys' breakfast mugs, " Here's richness !" I'HE CITY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Republican Wtud Executive C 011131114, tees meet on Islonday evening next, to elect their respective delegates to the CiV Executive Committee. It is very importitnt that this duty shall be wisely discharged, as upon the Executive Committee devolve many responsi bilities; both general and Spetial. ]:very Ward Committee should, above all else.that it does, instruct its delegates to insist epon\the 11 , 111.41mM of Mr. Bunn from. the Itegider of ticket: The mere defeat of Mr. Bunn at the polls is a matter of very little consequence to the public ; but his presence upon the general ticket damages the prospects of every..other Repub lican upon it, and the City, Executive Com mittee cannot allbrd to go into this campaign, ()tided with Mr. Bunn, or with the Kieckners, Clouds, Albrights and the like, who burden the Legislative ticket. if the Ward Commit tees, or a majority of them, will act decidedly on Monday evening, they can relieve the Re publican voters of Philadelphia of the only obstacle to a glorious victory, next October. If they are timorous, or unwilling to purge the ticket that was nominated last Wednes day, they will have ample time, after next October, to regret their want of proper appre ciation of the virtue, intelligence and inde pendence of their own party.

I From the New York Herald of to-day.l FtlinAT, .lune 17.—Wall street continues quiet. The operators who expected an active market as the se quence of the passage of the Currenc b have been disappointed. The outside public are new waiting to see what the Senate will do with the bill The reports to-day tire that the Western and Southern Senators fa vor it, but that the Finance Committee are opposed to it. Meantime Wall street is In a muddle as to the remot effect of the bill. No ono is clear as-to whether it mettle contraction or expansion. The next step that should be taken with the bill is so to amend it as to declare how the three per cent, certificates{ shall be redeemed. On this point it is not explicit. Secretary Boutwoll has a currency balance at present ot twenty millions. He could were he so disposed, make that balance forty- five millions and redeem the three per cents without availing himself of the privilege given him by an- old law to 1.113110 greeo backs-for the redemption of the certificates. In sutfer• lug this important point to go without attention the framers] of the hill have shown an ignorance of financial mutters which Is on a par with all the finance tinke, fug ot the wiseacres in Congress. It is to be hoped the Sen ate is beyond the control of the national bank ring and and that this and every measure increasing national bank facilities on the present plan will be defeated. The gold market weakened under the intelligence of the defeat of the Banks' Cuban resolution, and the price declined front 113 S to 112!4. Hero the speculators t'or tt decline, who had been expecting a still lower market. suddenly suspended their operations in consequence of 'the peremptory countermanding of European orders to ship grain. It scents that England and Fraube, which have - teen visited with a severe drought,that threatened very short crops, were treated to extensive showers ail last night, the effect of which has been the transmission of cable despatches to-day suspending the militmte I or ders to our produce merchants to Fund over all the grain within their reach. We doubt, however, whether, tics will prove more than temporarily arrest the fall of gold, for the normal influences at work upon the market. are 'too powerful to be overcome. As it was, gold ran back to 113, but closed finally nt 112%. The government list wail very dull, with prices about. a quarter per cent, lower, in sympathy , with the weaker tone of the gold market, money was easy at three to four per cont. on call, with exceptions at two per vent. on got erneVnts.

The newly-elected officers were installed on Thursuay night. The morning session yesterday was occupied by important legislation and the reception of reports from various local jurisdictions from Maine to Mississippi. During the afternoon session a spirited discussion arose upon a matter of great mo ment, upon which C. F. McClenalian, of New Yorh, made a powerful address, which was replied to by E. T. Carson, of Ohio. The result has not been announced. In the even ing the special order was conferring of the highest grade in Masonry, the thirty-third de gree, upon fourteen candidates selected from every part _of the jurisdiction. James W. Busted, G. E. W., of the Grand Lodge, New York, and Mr. Ballou,' of Vermont, were among the number. It is Understood that the next session of the Supreme Council will be held in Chicago in the fall of 1871. The attendance at this session has been very large, and the proceedings were marked by the reception of Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Southern Supreme Council. Grand honors ,were bestowed by Josiah H. Druunnoncl, in open council, with a brilliant address of welcome. The response by Mr. Pike was worthy of his distinguished reputation as an orator, and an evidence of culture in the mystic laws of Masonry that it is rarely the fortune of many persons to at tain to, Subsequently Giles M. Hillyer, Grand Minister of State of the Southern Supreme Council, was also received in like manner, and his remarks were replete with fervid eloquence for which the ri Germ editor of the Natchez Courier haslong been distinguished.

Into the yard.of its owner a little boy this morning en tered. The dog sprang upon him. It tore a piece of flesh from his cheelc,and it made also a fearful incision in his thigh. The owner of the tiog,when questioned as to his views upon the matter, remarked that the dog did right. He kept the animal, he said, for a - watchdog, and the dog did nothing but his duty in react.- mg the flesh from the body of any intruder. Half dead with pain and fear, the child was -taken by some of his comrades hi the station house in the vicinity. From there,our reporter is ihformed, the.child was repulsed. He was then taken, snore dead than alive, to the hotise of his father, in Locust street, above Ninth. The name of the owner of the dog is McCarthy. • —The offerings of strawberries this morn ing, it is said by .the market people, will be very nearly the last of the season.
