, & f THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. Celebration of the Ninoty-fourth Anniver- sary of the Nation’s Independence. THE JUBILATION OF THE PEOPLE Imposing Parades, Reviewsand Pyrotechnic Displays. PICNICS EXCURSIONS, RECATTAS, Observance of the Day in New York, Brooklyn, the Suburbs aud Eisewhere. at ‘rnomas Jefferson could have foreseen yester- day, the ninety-fourtn enniversiry of American in dependence, he might lave faltered before he wrote his iminortal prefacs to our national history; for succeeding tiat brief introduction have followed nearly one hundred’serial chapter’, each of wiich is @ chronicle of wild, intemperate enthusiasm, slaugh- ter, sudden death, misery, multiplied concuasions aud national bombast. The Fourth of Joly is the beqnest of the Cont:- nental Congress ard the legacy of the American People, and it is a sab eet for public congratulation that It attacks 40,090,009 of American citizens with only an intermittent, if chronic, fever, Thug the Offences. of yesterdsy, however siuful, must have something In extenuation, for they are inflicted but once a year. Ali over the word tt was a day of rejoicing among Amer -in the ¢c.pitais of Europe, among our oWwa great . cittes and in every town, Vilage and hamlet im the Unioa; bat this delirious joy was generally mani efferves’ence of ephemeral troth, very ev ent in its character. How many do yon suppose thought of the Revolutionary fitiers, who, ag the orator would say ytanteah repat He in the world’s histor: v many, 1n co: momorating & serious aunivercary, did not bw league B Perrous, Wut of, WITH the tyrannies of the 0! from the government Of tiie new!

Aimevica has not eajoyed a peaceable Fourth of July. Yesterday was no exception, In the city It was undoubtedly qmicter than New York has known for many years. ‘This owing to the large efflux, of population, sup: duced by the extremely heated ‘Weather of the Jast week; but in the country all was agof yore. The people indulged, the demaigogues Indulged and those “ar t 1 to pub! ing” expressed saptent opinions upon p re ia the civilization and material advancement. It would be a fine hook—shat yolame in which contd be printed the declamattdn8 of yesterday. It would Will the reader what we have done asa nation, not What we shonid doas @ leading, enlightened and Progressive people. Here is the great fault of the orators. They mount ‘the platforms to eulogize the past, to gloat on a his- tory briiiiant and bewildering, How much better af the Fourth of July wore set apart as aay of national instruction, where every statesman ‘and man of culture and acute discrimination would ‘de expected to teach a lesson in civil liberty, in po- Utical'economy or social law. Instead of an inflated bag of nonsense, we might theu have procepts that Would correct political abuses, ameliorate soctal evils dnd lead republican institutions to a matarity they have never Known. Rabid, and with hair given to the breeze, th® demaogue prefers to nay we are porfest—thit the virtme of the people ix the security of the State, Undoubtedly this Is fine in the a! ot; but how does it obtain in oar municipal affairs? And why do men sigh for a despotism? Blackstone it was Who said that 4 government demanded the virtue and goodness oj the people for its sovereign power, the education and statesmansilp of the gentry for ‘Ats legislation, and the will of the king for its execu- tive adminstration. This proposition, reducea to American politics, finds that these three vital Social forces are confined in one body—the pack of Politicians, Itis they who oratea yesterday. And it must have beera very suggestive commentary upon our politics to know tha! the very fireworks burned in honor of American independence were in- volved in corrupt bargains, where “to be seen’ is a very good investment upon political capital. As the reader will find elsewhere in these col- umns, the orations were generally the old stuff, There was littie new—liitle characteristic of a coun- try blooming into a golden youth, and yet in the spring time of its glory. AU know the poverty of American literature; all know our imbecitity in art and our backwardness in everything that will make the readable history of the past. Why did not our orators drop a -word for the dormant intevect; why not say a word for the en couragement of letters and the sciences, and why not show how we have failed as a nation to encour- e@ge msthetic pursuits? Intent upon national politics, monetary affairs and foreign policy, Congress and the President have never said a word for invention ; never offered even the most paltry inducements extended by the monarchies of the Old World to men of genius; never invited those efforts by which alone Greece and Rome are Known to modern times, General Grant could re- deem the political errors of his administration by co- operating with those who are the architects of public opinion—with those who only need the weight of offl- cial influence to tell many uvefn! stories now out- lawed by the public indifference and apathy. The thermometer below eighty, it was not strange that the citizens of New York made capital of the mercury and large investments in cool airs and re- fresning breezes, The majority of city residents had gone to the country, and it is doubtful if they enjoy- ed themselves as well as if they had been tn the city, Numerous excursions went down tie Sound, beyond Sandy Hook, up the Hudson and to vartons subur- ban retreats, and all the people accompanying these exhibliions escaped from the delusions. of the ora- tors. The exercises in Tammany Hall, as found in , tho HERALD, will be recognized as ordered by the +, diatingudshed Sachems, One fact was painfully evident in all the orations =:throughout the Union—no voices and tntellects such ] a8 those possessed by Morton, Thayer, Voorhees, | Garield, Chapin, Sumner and sioffan, were j)poured into the public ear. Grant had his celebration at Waodstock, and other exercises, full of signifi \eance, occurred all over the country, Colfax and wteecber spoke,.and many statesmen who remained Bilent‘had their hands in the political promulgations, ‘Q¥hat topics were not discussed privately or pnovitc- ly? They were almostinnumerable. The government itself; the extraordinary reduction of the national debt; the July interest; the eccan yacht race; the status of internatiogal relations; the subjugation of Cuba; the imbecility of Spain; the triumphant vin- dicaties of the Emperor in France; the oppression in Ireland; thé strange policy of Austria; the imcreas- ing liberalism of Russia; the growing republican- ism of tke South American Powers; the territorial grandeur of the United States; the abuses of monarehy; tie grand im- provements of theage; the coming Darien Canal; the Suez Canal, and the general tendency toward centralization in the national government—ihese were ail spoken of the country over. In the city, especially, salutes were fred from the forts, buding Was displayed on all the thorough. fares and x0 the harbor and along the miles of ship- ping; the pyvilc butidings were decorated; thou- sinds went od! to ride, to Ash, to hunt, to make love, to be hapjy’ and make merry, Many remainea at home ceiehratiyg & quiet ease reading of La- fayotte and Rochan0au; Aad thus the ¢cheowc “Fourth” went into the history of pendenee days, Thero were parading, digplays of soldiery, exploding of firecrackers and — torpedoes, the mouthing of cannons and noises of all sorts. Base ball, the theatres,. sovial gatherings of clubs, picnies, displays by the veterans of 1812, regatias, trotting, chimiog of bells, drunkenness, casualties, prize fights, turbulence, murder aod fireworks were also among- the enjoymeuts of the day. r York's iude- The Miltary Parade. ‘The militery parade was undoubtedly the princl- pal feature of the day’s celebration, and it cortainiy justified ail the expectations that had been conceived concerning it, Tne regiments, probably owing to delightiul weather, which was vastly different froin that which they have been fn the habit of expericne- ing almost every previous Fourth of July, turned out, as @ general (hing, with full ranks, and entered into the spirit of the occasion with more than the usual militia vim and alacritys, There was one draw- back to the parade, hewever, which is never considered & very Mght one, and which in olden thues was Wont to be an inseparable vil. lany to the annual turnout, but which of late days bas never been tolerated, Pit drawback ts the delay la setting the columu in motion at the ap. po.nted time, Geveral Shaler 1s very prompt, but he did not come up to the mark yesterday. Every regiment was “ready for action’? by aali-past six o’clock, yet the march dowa Broadway was not begun until @ quarter after eight o'clock, and the cavairy @id not pass the reviewing potat until long after tem o'elock. Madison avenue from hali-past six o’c.eck was crowded by thousands who were anxious to witness we pageant, As @ matter of course they were very much delighted with the delay. Another thing which should be mentioned in this connection is the route chosea for the troops. It is @ very Short one, it is true, but it w a very bad one. Pourth avenue should never have been taken tn as part of the route of march. Its ear tracks make the wWaiking, ennevessariiy irksome, and when it is plentifullyspriakied with waiter, as it was yester- day, the route is abominable. There are many other streets which couki be chosen where there are no car tracks. The parade was, notwithstanding, an exceedingly fine one, and the streets through Which the troops passed were lined with crowds of men, wornen and childven, who were evidently well picweed Wath the ippearance of the vanons regi- ments, General M.powell, of tie regilar army, wai the veviewi my &MNgeh.” : Rae Se Pda. ‘Tho Vist reaiméit (ifwkins’ Zouaves) had ten files front auc looked very well, The marching was good, but He fale of ry ovlcers in passiaz the reviewing polut were, witha few ex a Sadi ar areaiees eager ne OXGeplicus, vauiy ie along pretty steadily.

The Dundrearys spent the early morning in preparing their most magnificent toilet, with kilkng effecis, of side wiehers, hair brushed down to 4he eyes, and those gaudily colored snirt- frouts with the collar turned down at the corners, ‘you know.’ The Arthurs purcoased cheap canes for the eccasion, and clnbhjpg with their iniends hired opera glasses, which + took thes place of fleld giasses, and fave them quite the appearance of English tourists on the continent.

Nearer the city ani opposite the islands, the: public gardens along the shore were brilliantly tlumimated, and the vast open halls for dancing were visible at invervals fron the steamers’ decks, thronged with grotesque figures moving about in the mazes of the waltz, cotillion and reel, The music from the bands on board mingled with the music of the dancers, who paused to Wayer their bandkerchiers and listen to songs sounding sweetly over the water, 6 MooMUght excursion- isis, too, though they lost the cheap spectacle of the fireworks, arrived In town when all the noise and | confusion of the day had ceased, and when the small boys with the big firecrackers hud retired to a ) fitful slumber, tn a land of flashes, of startting noises and of a upiversal whiz, The Day {a the Public Institutions, RANDABL'S) ISLAND.

In years past the Common Council had charge of furnishing fireworks for the benefit of the million. This year they neglected to do #0, and the Depart- ment of Parks, knowing that the people expected some pyrotechnic display in the public squares and Places, determined that the people should not be disappointed, and they accordingly entered into an arrangement with Messrs. Edge & to furnish the necessary fireworks at all the parks, placea and squares under their control. Captain William L, Wiley was, of course, directed to see that tie orders were fully carried out, and his work yesterday was, therefore, necessarily very heavy. It was, neverthe- lesa, well discharged, and the displays were, asa general thing, never betier. AT THE CITY HALL the display was very fine. There were the usual number of wheels, serpents and other small fry. Then there was a splendid representation of a steam fire engine at one side and a representation of an old Jersey wmdmill on the other. The Jersey windmill represented was the firat one ever built m the State over the rivey, and the pro- perty of the grandfather of the present Edge family. ‘The csowil, numbering thousamis from the lower ‘Wards and the adjacent cities in New Jersey, hur- rahed and cheered as piece after plece went off in blazes and smoke until the final piece, representing the Temple of Liberty, with the State arms on one side and the city arms on the otner, with represen. tations of liberty and justice between flamed and fizzed, and then stood ou a blaz- ing picture, lighting up the eutire Park, with the old City Hall as a beautiful background. The City Hall was immed with fags of all sizes and hun i aimost all conceivable places, George Koome, the veteran keeper of the Hall, had char; of this part of the programme, and, — a3 he was on lis own responstoility, the national holiday never hal @ more tasteful display of bunting swang to iis honor than that shown yesterday at the City Hall. During the pyrotechmc exhivition Grafuila’s Band di-coursed sweet music and aided in making the City Hail Park @ place weil worthy of a visit, AT MADISON SQUARE, There was an immense crewd, propalily 15,000 adisun square rsoné, assembled In and about ast evening to witness the fireworks at the Worth Monument. In fact the crowd was 50 reat at one time that the hallways of the otels Saoinae the square were taken pos- session of by women and children who were afraid to undergo the ordeal of an involuntary hugging in the streets. The first display was given about cight o’clock, when rockets and Koman can- dies lit up the scene by way of introduction. ‘Tue grand finishing piece was a locomotive and train of cars, with the words, ‘Our Pioneer’’ over the top of the frame containing the engine, Underneath the wheels were the words, “The Iron Horse.’’ fsxtend- ing out on either side of the piece were the United United States cvat of arms, with the years “1776” and ‘1870.7 The display wound up with @ grand mosaic battery, which, as the Department of Public Works promised in the fcircu- lar it would, “filled the air with streams of fire colored stars and spangles.”” Somehow or another the fifteenth ameudment was not represented in we “colored stars,” not a dark one being visible in the whole piece. As Mr. Sumner was not present it 1s pe likely that no notice of this deplorable omls- ion will be taken by Congress, unicas some M. C. should overcome the efforts of his “Fourth” in time to read this paragraph. AT TOMPKINS SQUARE. Captain Mount, with forty policemen, performed the extraordi task last evenmg of keeping 80, pore, in ed order at Tompkins square, which fs sitaatea the heart of the Seventeenth ward, containing a population of 120,000 pie. For several days the preparations for putting up the pyrotechni¢s have been gone forward and numer- ous horses and carts were employed in transporting the valuable pieces which were fired last eventng. It so happened that witie one of these carts wad doing its duty in corre. the public burden to Tompkins square one of the horses became galled onthe breast. At this time Mr. Berg stepped in, stopped the team and the removal of the fireworks became necessary. In this transferring operation some valuable pieces were injured and the result is that Mr. Berg will soon be a defendant in court. By eight o'clock the immense throng was densely packed in all parts of the square, and in the side streets and avenues. Only @ small hollow space in the interior was left uncon pied and herein thirty elegant pieces were admirably situated for observa- ton. A portion of Graffulla’s band played popular airs during the intervals. The pyrotechnics themselves excelled any display known at Tompkins square for years, and com: prised “Sun Pieces,” “Yew Trecs,” “The S Ameriea,” ‘*The Mexican Sun,” “The Star of India,” “The Sunflower,” “Japanese Glory,” ‘Passion Flower,” “Saturn and its Satellites,” discharged ot under the supervision of Michael Clancey. But the crowning piece was the closing one, “The Dauntless and the Cambria.” ‘This eegant and elaborate production—the work of the most skiful artists in the bysiness, consisted of aunion of tive pieces—the Dauntless leading, with Columbia in her wake; then tollowed ap ela- borage shield in the centre, succeeded by another Columbta, with the Cambria astern. At the applica- tion of the match the gorgeous flame burst into a miliion sd@ntilationa, lighting up the ime with a variegated Epiandor, scat ny ons for handreds of q and hissing in a pewilder- ing blaze of ruby firg and finally, as the grand climax approached, the crowd oke in and shrieked, huzzped and cheered, just the same gs if the yachts themselves wore preseut.

Anny A HOLIDAY SESSION OF THE SENATE. The New Orleans Custem Honse Investigation, ubject for Political Economists. John Chinaman Displacing the African. A New Wasminotoy, July 4, 1870, The Negro Displaced by Johu Chinuman—A New Sabject!for Congressional Buncombe. The Senate spent the entire cay discussing the Chinese question, and the fact that it is something new under the #un—at least in the Senate—had the effect of drawing together considerable of an audl- ence, Mr. Conk!tag made an earnest appeal for the Naturalization pill, independent of the Chinese question, and deprecated the conduct of Mr. Sumner in introducing at this late hour ot the season @ question so fraught with dis- cussion, The debate on the Chinese question pro- per, however, was carried on between Senator Sum- ner and the Senators from the Pactflc coast almost exclusively, the other Senators seemingly enjoying the intense pitch of excitement to which Stewart, Willams and Casserly worked themselves on the prospective Chinese voters. Mr. Stewart did not Want pagans to be incorporated with our body poll- uc. Sumner, as on Saturday, planted bim- self upon the Declaration of Independence, as it was fitting that he should on tne Fourth of July. He had armed _ himself wih a copy of the document, and also with @ copy of the New Testament ; with these he proceeded to meet the combined opposition of the Pacific coast and the cobbiers.of Massachusetts. He read from that part of the Gospel which details the story of Peter's dental of his Master, and then compared Stewart, of Nevada, to Peter, and tho De- y S3r8ngy, ot Independence to Ghilst. ~ Peter had thrice denied pis Mastét, and the Senator from Nevada had thrice denied the carding! doctrine of the Declaration, to wit, that all men are created free ana equal. Of course, this created much merriment at Stewart's expense, Stockton, of New Jersey, was in tue best of humor, and insisted that Sumner shonld réad the entire text of the Declara- tlon of Independence, it belng the Fourthof July, and he had always been accustomed to hear it read on that day, The Senator from Massachusetts was. honest enough to say that he only wanted to read such parts of it as suited his purpose, Stewart argued that Sumuer had denied the fourth, because he’wanted pagans to administer the government. The subject was debated up to the adjournment, and created a good deal of interest. The Fight Over Tom Murphy. Senators Feuton and Conkling were very busy to- day among Senators, trying to get votes for and against the confirmation of Tom Murphy. They did not seem to be giving much heed to the Chinese question, the New York Coliectorship being, in their estimation, of far grea‘er moment, Very few Sena- tors gave any promise, most of them preferring to Wale until the subject came before the Senate before committing themselves to either side. They wanted to hear what was to be said for and against Mr. Murphy. The men who stand by the President through thick and thin gnid they could not go against the nomination; it would look too much like fighting the President. In unis respect Conkling las the advantage over Fenton; the latter, however, is very Indastrions, and fps impossible to predict the result, Observance of the National Holiday. ABW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEKr. | To-day was @ general holiday, all business places being closed.

An amendment to prevent encroachments upon Indian reservations by any land grants to the com- pany Was discussed, without action, THE NATURALIZATION BILT. At twenty minutes past tweive o'clock the Natural- ization bill was taken up. Mr. Sumnez’s amendment striking the word “white” from the naturalization laws, making them apply equally vo all foreigners, having beeu adopted, the question recurred on Mr. Williams’ amendment to exclude the Chinese from the benetits of the pend- ing legislation. ir, STEWART, (rep.) Of Ney., continued his re- Marks against the admission of Chinese naturaliza- Uon upon an equal sooting with all other foreigners. While he would protect the Chmese in thelr pe sonal rights he would never sanction the introduction ef a system of slave labor in competition with white labor in the couniry, which Was the question at issue in the amendment. He wonld not interfere to prevent the immigration of Chinese who came voluntarily; but he would never agree to invest with political power imported coolle slaves, brought here under contracts, and Who, a5 Dagans, couls! not take our oaths. There was no neccasity for the Ue eo ae as the bill to en- force the fitteenth amendment had secured the Chinese in every right to which they were entitied, Mr. CONKLIN, (rep) ofN. Y., appeuled to Mr. Sum- ner .o withdraw his amendment, which could lie done by unavimous consent. He regarded it as jeopardizing the whole bill, tie importance of which to the country in preventing naturalization frauds in any city and elaewnore could not be overesti- mated. Mr. TRUMBULL. (rep,) cf Hl), said if the Chinese were to come here at all they should not come as slaves, but be ineorporated with the body politie.

Dantelg went into a general discussion of the Chinese labor question, denoneing, of course, capital in all tw forms when arrayed against toll, Although she would not declatin in favor of woman's rights now, she took occasion to say that the exercise of the ballot was the only means the laborers of the coun- try had to protect themselves, aud she boped the matter would be serlousiy considered and then bure medly acted upon, The,irrepressible JENNIE COLLINS came next. She sald, “This old grove was a hallowed spot, for here Wendell Phillips had burned the constitution of the United States because It seemed to ignore perfect freedom to all men.” She briefly advocated wo- man’s rights, giving a merited dash now and then at old politicians who hope to ride into office throug’ the. Nore of the women, and who, aside from this sgitlsh notive, gare nothing whatever for them. Genéral Stickuian was PARTICULARLY HASHED for his speech befure the shoe and leather dealers the other day, the oratress claiming that he forgot the Crispins and others of the bone and sinew of the country who fou slit the battles of the country and made him renowned, She also let out harshly against the General’s wife for her act in heading a remonstrance against female suilrage, aud followed up her caustic criticism with a list of reasons why the ballot shoald be given to woman. Sampson, of North Adams, was also sharply rebuked for his Cliinese labor enterprise, and she believed that if he had done tu another Staie what he bad done here he would have been hanged to the nearest tree. “1, she added, “Christ Was in North Adams to-day he would take A CAT OF NINETAILS and whip him and all his sympathizers eut of town, and Christ would be right, too.’ His whole enter- prise sie denounced as slavery, and an act which Was an insult to the graves of the tuousands of brave soldiers who sieep ail along from the pines of Maine to the rice swainps of Louisiana. As one means to romote their cause, Miss Colbns urged the estab, Bining, of a daily paper, for it would enlighten the community upon the great question of labor and ex- pose the side which is generally taken by the Ameri can press. E. H. Heywoop, of Worcester county, followed Miss CoDing with a series of resolutions, whieh he Wished to be considered and pronounced upon by the assembled muitiiude. The resolves were as fole lows:— Resolved, ‘That recognizing the right of em age thelr own affairs, to make contracts with whom will, when they will, and how they will, consistent with mu: tual equity to the parites ; belleving also mthe equal/right of employes to fix the price of their labor wad combine for com- fon vefence, we yer einphatically deny the right of either class to defraud tore destitute workers, aad the tablishing monopolies of sil, iuvene nd all property won vo o I weaker fel.ows len by republic ure bers in good and regular standing, Resolved, That while welcoming Chivese with other volun- tary emigrants to the opportanitfes of fice civilization, we ace enable right to come us freemen, not as |, whether made on foreign or American soll, con Ke from them more service than an equivalent is retarned for in labor cost are morally vot the Fight to amass wealth through specu i form of interest, rent and profit or dividends is conced laboring men nnd women are doomed to serfdom, and the {ncofiine Bod of impoverished ‘Aslatiza presente to our peo- ple the momentous alternative of accepting the dark future Of Oriental barvarism or rising in their might and extermi- nating the unrighteous usurpations of property whieh Keep ul jown.

He said that he believed the war debt was! ng ago paid by the unlawful interest @xacted, and any further con- tributions should be resisted to the bitter end. He warned Horace Greeley and Wilson to cease their harping about finance, and address themselves se- riously to material questious and promote the in- terests of humanity. He was particularily larsh upon Senator Wilson, denouncing tlm as a simple pol- itician under the controt of Wall street.

He had also raised his voice AGAINST THE CAINAMEN, but he was surprised that the Boston meeting the other day was not wise enough to discover his selfish Taotive, eae of Mr. Sampson, he said that he had an undoubted right to hire Ciinamen, but he had no right to accumulate a fortune on their Jabor or any one else’s, and any one who did do this was guiity of theft. He said, too, that the Crispins de- served criticism, for they had no right to make a Tonopoly of their skill by learning @ good trade and then combining to shut out apprentices. Neither did he believe they were right m dictating to their employers how their business should be done. What they should do is to bring the Chinamen towards them, give them fair play and educate them up to their duty as workmen and citizens. The speaker closed by advising the workmen to lorsake SUCH POLITICIANS A8 WILSON and support only those who are faithful to their tne teresis. Mr. B. L.

He had been through the establishment of Mr. Sampson at North Adams, and must confess he was pleased with what was to be seen there. His only regret in the pre- mises was that such dirty water had been thrown upon this old man and upon A church. Wiliam Sampson was aman whom God had made in His image, and he was A GOOD SPECIMEN OF A MAN, and he honored him: for his indefatigable industry, energy and perseverance, which he had manifested in the conduct of his ness.
