Y U INDEPENDENCE DAY ‘The Republic of America in Her Ninety-seventh Year. Arrangements for the Patri- otic Celebration. Our Forefathers’ Work To Be Hon- ored by Their Sons. Banner Presentations, Parades, Fireworks and Orations. EXCURSIONS, CHIMES, PICNICS ‘AND RACES, Dinners, Flag Raisings, Church Services and Charity Jubilees. All Races and Conditions to Join in the Celebration. Honors to the Inspirers of Our Independence. A Wail Over the Warmth of the Weather. It ts one of the prices we have to pay for free- dom that we must celebrate the Fourth of July in the heat of Summer. Of all the ills our gallant forefathers of the Revolution suffered, none but this has descended to their children. When John Adama (according to Webster's supposition) prophesied in advance that this occasion would be celebrated by bonfires and by fireworks, and other heating accompaniments, it would seem that the plain duty of the inspirers of our independence ‘was to put it off toa cooler season. To celebrate by fireworks, when the sun himself has all his pyro- technics bent unrelentingly on the Great Republic, is ® gratuitous tax of our patriotism hardly con- sistent with the good sense that characterized our forefathers in the general conduct of their campaigns. To have us superheated in the midst of July by the fires of active and celebratory pa- 4riotism 1s 4 CRUELTY, aucklly, as we have said, the only cruelty which our respected paternity has relegated to us from that long eight years of war and hardships. To Teject all their good on account of this one evil ‘would be unwise. We cannot give up freedom because John Hancock and his confederates were cool as icebergs and could not appreciate the ‘warmth of a July celebration, We certainly can- not transfer the Fourth of July to a cooler month ‘without revolutionizing the calendar, and it would somewhat rush holidays if we put it much nearer Thanksgiving, Obristmas, New Year’s and the Twenty-second. Except for the heat and fireworks, the day is HAPPILY APPOINTED. In July, business is dull, peopie are in the coun- try, and patriotism is unhampered by the ordinary demands of business, All the young militiamen can get a chance to parade, and all the home folks can see the fireworks in the cool of the evening. But on the particular Fourth of July which dawns upon the world this morning, proclaiming the ripening of our freedom into the good mellow age of 97, America has increased cause to be patriotic. Forty millions of people inhabiting a “virgin hem- isphere ” three thousand miles wide and four thou- sand long, all celebrate the one achievement minety-seven years ago which declared thirteen little colonies and a sparse population of three mil- Non people forever Iree and independent. An army of over @ million men respond to the call that then could raise only by draft and conscription 20,000, ‘The Treasury that could scrape together only a few thousand dollars by the generosity of Robert Mor- Tis to feed its mutinous soldiery now pays a debt of three billions. A people that then bought its ands of the Indians at two brass buttons an acre values it now at $1,000 a foot. The hopes of that day, that the shores of the northern lakes might eventually be opened up to commerce, have blos™ Bomed mto a great seaport on the Pacific Coast and an fron track through the great wilderness. The Far West of that day is the East of this. The foreign immigration that then drifted lazily ‘through the Narrows of New York, has become a rushing stream, and a similar great tide pours through the Golaen Gate of California. The little colonies of 1776 are a great country in 1873, and ‘the A GREAT PEOPLE living thereon. And for all this, for which we have to be thankful to those dauntiess statesmen of minety-seven years ago—shall we compiain of the ‘warm weather and refuse to celebrute? There may be a little too much Crédit Mobilier and back pay, and incréased salary, and Vienna scandal— Buch matters only indicate our excessively healthy condition; but taken for all in all we ought to celebrate to-day with inceased ardor. If itis alittle cooler than yesterday and a heavy rain storm should put out the fireworks and quell all the speech. making—let us repose in the cool shade, as comfort- ably as fans and iced drinks (water or milk) can make us, and celebrate in spirit the dauntiess sen- timent that gave us freedom in the teeth of Great Britain, and not become morose dver the change du the weather. From THE PUBLISHED PROGRAMMES of the be proceedings there is every probability ‘that it will be observed in a way to indicate that patriotism still fourishes with as fierce an ardor as that which warmed the bosom of John ‘Hancock when he “put his fist’ in big, round let- ters to the declaratory document, or strengthened ‘ie hand of honest Stephen Hopkins when he was hamed that even the palsy made his hand ‘tremble in the signing. A great number of stores in the city will close ‘from Thursday night until Monday morning, and the Cotton, Produce and Stock Exchanges will take woliday during that interval.

HILisBoroveH, N. C., July 1, 1873. One of the saddest and ‘most startling cases of female suicide, caused by remorse, that ever oc- curred in Orange county took place om Sunday morning last, not more than four miles from this ancient town, the county seat. SAD SURROUNDINGS AND A FATAL FACT. At that point lived Mrs, Maria Murray, an ac- complished, handsome and wealthy young widow, whose husband, William Murray, died of consump- tion about two years ago. Previous to his demise Mr. Murray had employed as a sort of overseer, or “cropper,” as they are termed here, a man of low assoetations and former desperate character, mamed White, who was married, and who resided on the premises, in one of the outhouses, After the death of her husband Mrs. Murray continued to employ White in the same capacity, and the latter became assiduous and very atten- tive to the young widow and her three small chil- dren. Gradually an mtimacy sprang up between Mrs. Murray and White, which, in less than a year from her husband's death, became so notorious aa to occasion some “SCAN. MAG.” GOSSIP among the neighbors, and this reaching the widow’s cars she directed White to build another house for himself at a distant point on the planta- tion, 80 as to remove any suspicions that might be entertained on account of his immediate presence on the premises. This Wh ite did, but the inti- macy between him and the charming widow con- tinued, his visits being conducted clandestinely, but with more Lipchorale and frequency than ever. In fact, the removal of White’s residence rather served to afford more and better opportunities to carry on their illicit intercourse. Matters had pro- gressed in this way for some time, when rumors of her husbana’s untaithfuiness and Mrs. Murray’s in- oad with him reached tie ears of Mrs, White, an X FLAME OF JEALOUSY WAS KINDLED in the mind of that lady, who, besides being low bred and ignorant, isa Virago and termagant of the most approved order. Her tongue set going once the scandal soon became widespread, in con- sequence of which the aristocratic young widow experienced the deepest mortification, ‘Tnis feel- ing, however, soon gave piace to one of fiery in- dignatiun, and Mrs. Murray, pistol in hand, marched to the house of Mrs. White and threat- ened summary vengeance it she did not desist in using her name in such a scandalous connection with her (Mrs, White’s) husband. But the found she mistook her woman, . White, instead of being at all intimidated, flung back in the widow’s teeth all the charges she had previously made with increased vehemence, and then and there dared her to put her threats into execution. Com- Peay nonplussed and backed down, the widow ad to pocket her pistol and retire in a state of utter discomfiture, From the date of this encoun- ter the illicit relation of the widow and White, which before was only @ mere rumor, became an established fact, and the deepest regrets were ex- pressed upon all sides that a lady of such high social standing, so young, beautiful and accoin- plished, should fall @ victim to the wiles of 80 de- graded and disreputable a character as White. THE SEQUEL and crushing consequences, however. of her down- 1 were yet to come. Some two weeks since, and about two months after the scene with Mrs. White, it became leariully apparent to the uniortunate widow and her paramour that sne WAS PREGNANT, and this se alarmed them that they were driven almost to their wits’ end to devise some means by which the evidence of their guilt could be con- cealed. Look which way they would there was no escape [rom the prying eyes and talking tongues of their inquisitive neighbors, and at last, in sheer desperation, they decided upon the horrible plan of producing an abortion, thus adding an inijamous crime to their previous guilt. White at once pro- cured drugs, which he gave to Mrs. Murray, and, the expected result being achieved, they were so far successful. But the end was not yet reaehed. From that moment the fallen young widow became apprehensive of exposure, arrest and imprison- ment and the victim of the most POIGNANT REMORSE. So terrible were the stings of conscience that she made frequent attempts to take her own life, and she had to be constantly and closely watched. In the meantime White fled the country, for he would most assuredly have been shot by some indignant relative of Mrs, Murray’s had he remained, This made her more wretched and fearful still. She first tried ‘audanum to put an end to her exist- ence, but was detected’by a brother-in-law in time to save her. The same relative foiled her in an at- tempt to cut her throat, and a third time she was caught in the act of trying to hang herself. It was for | now absolutely necessary that some one should be | constantly with her, and a strict surveillance wa: maintained over her. On the night of day last she retired with a Mrs. a neighbor, both occupying the bed. About two o’clock on Sunday fo She | Satur at once gave the alarm, and, a light been procured, search Was made for the missing woman. After looking everywhere else they at last went up stairs toa 9 nga where, horror-stricken, they be- | heid the body of Mrs. Murray SUSPENDED BY A HANK OF YARN from a hook in the wail. If she had been cut down at once she might, in all probability, have been re- suscitated; but the terrified inmates ran for the neighbors, and before assistance arrived life was extinct, She had stood one foot upon a chair, the other on @ box, and when she had fastened the Phe to the hook and around her neck she dropped etween the chair and box. ‘This is @ most melancholy event, and it creates the deepest and most heartfelt regret throughout the entire county. An inquest was held yesterday, but, owing to circumstances not made public yet, it adjourned to meet on the Sth of July. THE M’KENNA HOMICIDE CASE, = — Commitment he Prisoner.

The Combined Braves of Guatemala and Honduras on the Warpath. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE MITRAILLEUSE. PANAMA, June 24, 1873, ‘News bas been received here from Honduras, by way of Jamaica, that the filibustering steamer General Sherman had lauded her revolutionary party, headed by E. Palaccios, at Utila, Honduras. The government of Honduras has been overthrown by them and a new one installed, Palacios and followers were marching on Guate- mala, and if they succeed in entering that terri- tory (two or three days’ march, they are almost certain to overthrow the existing government of President Barrios and to re-establish that of the Jesuit or church party. History of the Movement! The mystery which has recently existed with reference to the suspicious movements of the American filibustering steamer General Sherman, in the Spanish Matn, is now cleared away by the receipt of the following letter from our correspond ent at Truxilio, in Honduras, who was witness to the eapture of that city by the combined revo- lationary forces of Guatemala and Honduras, landed from tne deck of the craft just mentioned, and under the supreme command of General Palaccio, of the former Republic, The mysterious sinking of this vessel at her dock in thia city last year, while loading arms (?) Jor Honduras, her recent capture of two islands, and her importation of mitrailleuses into South American warfare, fairly entitle the craft te be considered one of the most prominent filibustering vessels which has ever left Gotham, The letter bringing the following news came via Batabano, in Cuba (where it was duly opened and perused by the Spanish authori- ties), directly after the surrender of the city to the revolutionary forces :— ‘TRUXILLO, June 11, 1873. The government of Honduras is represented by President Arias, who overthrew Medina about a year ago. The latter is now a prisoner in the in- terior, where he is kept in a filthy dungeon, and, rumor hath it, is being tortured to death by inches, His friends have not been idle in his behalf, although beaten while undertaking hostilities last year, and have now united with other parties in Guatemala also unfavorable to the present gevern- ment. Thus united the two parties have bought and fitted up THE AMERICAN STEAMER GENERAL SHERMAN for the purpose of overthrowing the existing gov- ernments of Guatemala and Honduras. This much for explanation, The General Sherman left Aspin- wall on the 224 of May and proceeded to Belize, where some recruits were awaiting the expedition, but were not Roce to embark by the Britisn authorities, who wish to preserve in all matters of this kind the strictest neutrality. Being foiled at this point she left for THE SMALL ISLAND OF UTILLA, belonging to the Republic of Honduras, and took summary possession of it. Water and provisions were taken in, and it was agreed that the spot should become a rendezvous lor future operations, A large number of men under the command of General Palaccio were found, who had been await- ing for some time the arrival of the General Sher- man, Some delay occurred here in organizing the men into companies, appointing of officers, drilling, aud PREPARING MUNITIONS OF WAR FOR INSTANT USE. Genera: Pataccio, who is the candidate for the office of next President in Guatemala, was in- vested with supreme command of the expedition. e Matters being satisfactorily arranged the Sherman steamed away for the island of Ruatan, which it captured as easily as it did the Island of Utilla—that is, Without any resistance at all being made. More recruits were obtained here, and, on Sunday, Jane 8, the Sherman boldly launched out on the warpath, and stood across for TRUXILLO, THE MOST IMPORTANT HONDURAS, As soon as the strange steamer was signalled to the town, from the observatory, the greatest con- sternation prevailed, the news having already been received from Utilla Island that the city was te be bombarded. People expected every moment tosee fron messengers landing in their midst, and the panic was in nowise allayed until the Commander of Truxillo got his forces ready for action, loaded guns at the fort, &c., to repel any attack which might be made at that quarter by the filibusters. Meanwhile handreds of people leit their houses and fied to the mountains, under the belie! that the most sanguinary scenes would ere long be enucted in the city. THE STEAMER STOOD IN FOR THB LAND about six miles to the westward of the town, evi- dently for the purpose of landing troops, Several large canoes were now despatcned by the Com- mandant to find out what steamer it was and what was the object of her visit. As soon as the canoes reached the steamer they were captured and not permitted to return to shore. About noon the steamer hauled into the bay, the authorities still doubting it was the mach-dreaded General Sherman. In this state of incertitude the Com- mandant begged of the Captain of the AMERICAN SCHOONER RACKET to get under way and vail up to the steamer to Jearn her name and her mission. The Captain, who is a plucky New Yorker, and not having the fear of capture before his eyes, went on his dell- cate mission, and soon ran alongside the larger vessel. He courteously hailed tue Sherman and gave the message confided to him. THE PUABUSTERS’ REPLY. “We are loaded with troops and guns ready for action,” was the laconic reply given by Generai Paiaccio. He then said, “We request you to carry @ flag of truce back to Truxillo, and will feel obliged by your heaving-to for a few minutes.” These wishes being complied with, a few minutes later two oMcers and feur private soidiers came on board and handed the Captain a communication for ‘the Commandant, DEMANDING THE SURRENDER OF THE TOWN within two hours, and was signed by General Pa- laccio, In addition to the request for the uncon- ditional surrender of the city it was stated that should the request be refused it would be better to send all women and children out of the town, as the attack would take place at the end of the pre- PORT OF | scribed time, HOLDING A COUNCIL OF WAR. The confusion in Traxillo now became ten thou- sand times confounded, and remained so until tne commandant, after consulting with the principal dignitaries of the city, consented to surrender the city, but pleaded for an extension of time until the foliowing day. While this answer was being con- veyed back to the Sherman by the schooner Rocket the second agi IE 4 ofMicer, Major Tur- cios, declared that he preferred death to dishonor, and that If the fillibusters were to gain possessiun Of the city they would HAVE TO MARCH OVER HIS DEAD BODY. In proof of his valoroas assertions he caused | several of the guns in the fort to be pointed at the Sherman and fired, although she was nearly six miles off. The only effect of this extraordinary artillery practice was to nearly sink the schooner, she being directly in the range of his guns, carry- ing out the news that the town would surrender on the following day and sailing under a flag of truce. After this Major Turcios, with much grand- iloquent language, started witn about eighty sol- diers to @ point abreast of the American steamer, in order to fight the filibusters when they should i land, BUT, DARKNESS NOW COMING ON, he finally towards midnight returned to the fort, virtually the commandant of Truxillo, At the dawn of day the next morning, June the 9th, communications were agatn “pened by the steamer, giving the commandant until ten o'clock inthe morning to vacate the town, At | half-past nine the evacuation took place, the troops all carrying their arms, and retreated into the inountains. TRIUMPHAL ENTRY OF THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES WITH MITRAILLEUSES. At eleven o'clock the reveiutionary forces entered the town, shouting vivas for the United ublics of Guatemala and Honduras, and also uttering loud vivas tor President Medina. A force of about one possession of the fort, carrying with them @ mitratiieuse, the frst ever seen in ‘this part of the world. The next proceeding was to hoist the fage of Cl nd Guatemala nduras aot being jointly, and, without * fired, the new government was proviaimed. DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR. About sunset, it the least warniny Major Turcios came back again into the city at ts head of about sixty men (laving promised them, if successful, the it of ain | the town), and attacked the enemy's sentinels, bat were, of course, repulsed, and those who were not killed outright or Wounded escaped back to the moun- tains—the mitrailieuse and the splendid rifies of- the revolutionary troops being too much for them. They left behind twenty-two dead, six wounded and three prisoners, THE CALM BEFORE T Everything is quiet now, but a lai reactionary force is shortly ex trom the Interior, when the struggle will commence anew. neral Palaccio’s forces are not large, and he will not be able to make & struggle outside the for- tfloation, id 101 consequentiy the town may be consi ered Sd9 vafortunate Rave dreary prospects.

Tne General Sherman 1s 292 tons burden, has two decks and was built at Fairnaven, Conn- in 1864, for Messrs. N. L, & G. Griswold, of New York. Last year she was soid to M. C. Keith, and was thoroughly overhauled in September. In 1872, while loading for Belize, Honduras, at the foot of Wall street, she sank mysteriously one night, aud nobody ever knew hew the aifatr oc- curred. It is now probable from what has trans. ired that she was carrying some war material for revolutionary purposes and was sunk by the enemy. On the 9th October, 1872, she sailed for Port Lemon, in Costa Rica, ‘from this city. Her agents, at 47 Exchange place, stated last might Was Shay naa beard shee she was sold about two months ago, and that they knew noth: her filibustering exploits. 2 tng abons he MUNICIPAL AFFarRs, The Board of Aldermen—Attempt to Take the Nominations of Police Jus- tices from the Tabie—The Combina-: tion Again Successfi The Aldermen met yesterday morning, when & resolution by Alderman Morris, instructing the Committee on Public Works to nold sessions and hear complaints against the parties for obstruct- ing the crossings on the Fourth avenue improve- ment was referred to the Committee on Law.
