The remembrance of the benefits which we conferred on the people of the parts of India which we relieved from oppres- sion and misrule has passed away with the peopie of those days, The present generation only con- sider their present restraints and the obligations imposed on them, and the more educated and am- bitious look for a } r share of places of influ- ence and emoluments than they now possess. The religious movement, though the scope of its objects and intentions has not been muy brought to light, shows a much wider extent and combina- tion than we have hitherto appreciated.

EE IERE ES DEES ‘The Republican state Convention in Wisconsin will be held at Madison, August 27, The Chicago Mmter-Ocean seems happy to learn that the administration proposes to maintain a strict neutrality in regard to General Butler's election as Governor of Massachusetts. The Springfield (I.) Journal argues that the transportation problem can be best soived to the satisfaction of the farmer by dispensing, in a great measure, with transportation—by ercating a home market for consumption in bringing the agri- cultural and manufacturing producer directly to- gether—that is, by establisning manufactories in the West to compete with the British and Eastern manufacturers, ‘The Clinton (Iowa) Register hits the nail on the head when it suggests that “while the farmers are organizing to secure reform in the administration of our government, it would be well for them to express their opposition to the extension of patents, Why should the poor widow be compelled to pay $65 for a sewing machine that costs the Manufacturer only $15’ and the Register might have added, when that manufacturer is already rolling in unbounded wealth? The farmers in Livingston county, Ill., are mak- ing use of postal cards to disseminate their partic- ular views. Not a bad idea. The Chicago Times endeavors to show “how Lyman Trombull’s morai teacher became Chief | Justice of Utah,’ @ matter of not much interest to anybody. A number of republican papers in Itlinois de- clare that the republican party is the true iarmers’ party, and advise republican farmers to stand fast by the old party. It has been remarked that somebody in the Third district of Massachusetts, who will be nominated for Vongress (vice William Whiting, deceased) the middle of October and elected November 4, will find that Congressional back pay due him from June 29—$3,225—ostensibly for service rendered! Then his forward pay will be $625 per month. The salary of the Governor of Nebraska ta osten- sibly $1,000 per annum, but “pickings and steal- ings” enable it to reach $10,000, The liberal republicans in Onto “still live.” A call has been issued by the chairman of the Liberal Re- publican State Executive Committee for a State Convention, to be held in Columbus on the s0tn Jniy. No limitation is made as to the number of delegates to be sent, but it is recommended that the liveral republicans oi the several counties shall be represented by at least one delegate for every 600 votes cast for Horace Greeley for Presi dent of the United States. The Cincinnati Enquirer (democratic) is of opin- fon that the “democratic party will be n existence and voting its tickets jong after this generation has passed away. It is one of the hardest parties to kill that we ever heard of, and so those who want @ new party will find out.’ Referring to the call for the Liberal Republican State Convention in Ohio, the Cincinnati Anquirer says General Brinkerhof, the chairman of the Executive Committee, “propuses to join hauds with the Allen county deserters and march to the millennium,” Is the atmosphere not already too hot for marching toward any sort of democratic millenotum ? A BURGLAR OAPTURED, On the 30th of June Mr. Jonn Reichter, of Seventy-fourth street, between Ninth and Tenth avenues, was robbed of $137, four rings and a gold watch and chain by his brother-in-law, James McGrath, who at once fled to Buffalo, where he was arrested by the local authorities on information telegraphed by Superintendent Matsell.

Philadelphia Has Another Centennial Sensation. “THE HERALD'S AHEAD AGAIN!” PHILADELPHIA, July 5, 1873. People here do not mind a sensation once a cen- tury, It ts, according to their good, easy going rule, enough for men to have their emotions enlivened aboutevery three generations, They love to sit and gloat, It has been wondered at by many how Independence Hall has escaped destruction by fire or something else during its famous existence, The reason is siinple, There has been, ever since the Continental Congress first met, a Philadelphian eye fixed gloatingly upon each particular red brick in the structure, They were 80 intent on watch- ing the bricks that the bell, with ITS VERSE PROM LEVITICUS, being struck with cussedness, found time to crack before the mtention could be detected. Then they gloated over the cracked bell, over John Hancock's chair, and over his desk, They were shrewd, and they unerringly calculated that by persistent gloat- ing they would, ina century, bring the whole world to gloat over the red brick building along with them, So Philadelphia has been SAVING UP ITS NERVES for the centennial of American independence as & child might its appetite for Thanksgiving turkey. Yesterday they found it necessary to get up a sen- sation, to pave the way for the great event three years hence, It is expected to be such a stunner that they thought they would try to get used to being stirred up, Accordingly the transfer cere- monies yesterday were just as exciting as Philadel- phia could conscientiously stand without a tatat nervous collapse afterwards. The citizens and the authorities, particularly the latter, APTER THE BANQUET AT THE BELMONT, were very weary when they sought their couches last night. Tiree months of periect tranquillity were looked forward to a8 a season for recuperation of the nervous system. But they had miscalculated. Basy heads and deft hands, the telegraph and the printing press, the iron horse and his track trundied wagon were combining for an attack on the citadel of Quaker nerves. HOW IF WAS DONE. At a little after six o'clock this morning a shriek- ing engine came into the Market street depot with an air of triumph, in its attempts to whistle “Yan- kee Doodle.” Philadelphia was still snoring or dreaming that it was gloating out at Fairmount Park over a completed exhibition building, with all the world, FROM MAUCH CHUNK TO MANTCHOORIA, or Madagascar, coming to see. Then a sight was seen by the morning sun which he had never before beheld. His crimson blush did not disappear for some moments, so heated did he become that he had waited so long since creation before witnessing i. «Copies of the New YorxK HERALD of to-day were being scattered all over the Quaker City be- fore the city dailies had quite made up their minds to appear, The newsmen were startled out of thetr wits, and rushed breathlessly for a supply. Once they had secured them it was worth some- thing to hear THE VOICES OF THE SHRIRKING NEWSBOYS reverberate on the start'ed air from Market to Chestnut and from Chestnut to Walnut. Good lack ! how Philadelphia jumped out of bed and donned its daily raiment, so that a HERALD might be secured. Noon, full noon, had always satiated the Philadelphians hitherto as time enough to get their HeraLps. They would read the local papers a8 appetizers and take the solid meal of news afterwards, Their local journals were hors Daeurre— SARDINES, SO TO SPEAK, in their eyes. Men looked out from half opened doors, as if their ears deceived them; but no; deep bass voices, that Formes in his prime might bave envied, kept on repeating, in a thunderously ecstatic chorus :— “01 THIS MORNING'S NEW YORK HERALD! Ho! the New York HexaLD of this morning! Full account of the ceremonies, &c.,” ad lid, As Moses was mocked at by the Hebrew in the land of Egypt and darkness, so did one Quaker 8a “Thou canst not put up a job on me, 0 Thy Henanps are those of yesterday.” The justly indignant newsboy paused jor an in- stant in his work of selling HRALDS as quickly as ice chunks (hot cakes are not seasonable), and with lus characteristic politeness, howled WITHIN AN INCH OF THE QUAKER’S EAR, “Ho! this morning’s Nsw York HeRaLp—all the news of yesterday from everywhere.” The sun at this moment was caught stealing a burning glance over the newsboy’s shoulder to see if the date was in reality July 5. Like Lot's wife the punishment of Heaven came upon the sun. He wore a clouded eye for some time afterward, and was not happy until he had wept copiously for his unfounded in- credulity, With the ald of these signs in the skies and on the surrounding air, and with the help of some fair bold placards in black and white, Phila ‘ delphia was deep in the throes ofthe unexpected sensation before eight o’clock this morning. “THE HRRALD'S AHBAD AGAIN!” cried a Philadelphia journalist, as he waved lis eopy in air. His face looked half desperation and half pride in the triumph of his craft. There had been asortof determination that nothing should be done ina business way to-day, or as little as possible, Hence there was plenty of time to dis- cuss the triumph of the HeRaxp, and it was dis- cussed. A sense of diMdence prevents me from giving these conversations or even a few of them. It is enough to say that PHILADELPHIA WAS SHAKEN UP in a@manner that nothing siort of a conflagration could do for Cnicago, or a wild fiddler in his tan- trums for Boston. I saw the representative of a morning jourpal irom a city not so faras Teheran go sadly down the unfrequented streets lest some one might recognize him and ask for a copy of his paper. It is well for Philadelphia that to-morrow 1s Sunday; the fevered brain will require rest, THE CHOLERA. scanmansiljutannsetns The Deaths in Cincinnati.

Twenty Persons Drowned Lake, Wisconsin. at Green Miles of Telegraph Poles, Acres of Grain and Scores of Houses Levelled. Effects in Iinois. Cnicago, July 5, 1873, The weather to-day is clear and beautiful. The meagre reports yet received from various points in the county show that the storm of the last two days has been one of the most severe kind ever rienced here. An immense quantity of water and there has been a good deal of damage to telegraph poles and wires by lightning and wind, On the Scloto. CIRCLEVILLE, Obio, July 6, 1873. The Scioto River has overflowed the extensive broom corn fields in this vicinity, probably ruining from five hundred to a thousand acres of broom corn, The corn ts flattened down and the airt washed on to it so that much of it cannot rise, The streams are so high that the roads are impas- sable between here and Columbus, No trains have arrived from the East since Thursday. In Ohio and indiana. Cincinnati, July 5, 1873. The storms of the past three days have seldom, if ever, been equalled in severity in the States of Ohio and Indiana, Hurricanes and tornadoes, with foods of rain, have followed each other in rapid succession. This city and its immediate vicinity escaped the fury of these storms, The country north of this and parallel in Indiana and Ohio has sulfered severely by the furious storms which passed over it on the 2d, 3d and 4th inst, The telegraph wires have been generally prostrated, ‘At Springfield, Ohio, it 1s reported that the tele- graph poles were blown down across the turnpike 80 thickly in some places as to entirely obstruct travel. East of Springfield, on the Pacific and Atlantic telegraph line, there were 200 poles down, some of them struck by lightning and others pros- trated by the wind, Passengers from Logansport say the storm of yorenies levelled the trees nearly all the way ‘om Logansport to Richmond, Ind. In Richmond trees were blown down in the streets, One fell across an express wagon, breaking both legs of the driver and crushing the wagon. At Troy, Ohio, a large cordage factory was un- roofed. ‘This side of T i on the line of the Dayton and Michigan Railroad, houses were blown down, fences prostrated, trees uprooted, tlelds of grain levelled, corn fields flattened and in some instances corn uprooted, Everywhere fields looked like lakes ol water. On the Zanesville road five bridges were washed away. No trains will go east of Circleville betore Monday. A nuinber of feet of raiiroad track has been washed away. ‘The same prostration of trees and devastation of crops is reported in this section of the country as in that further West. At Port Washington, Ohio, about seventy miles east of Columbus, a severe storm of wind and rain occurred last night, uprooting trees and un- roofing hou-es. At Centreville, Ohio, near Xenia, great numbers bf ie a poles have been splintered by light- iy g. At Washington, Ind., the storm was exceedingly flerce. Spears of wheat were scattered about wildly and carried many feet in the air, At Columbus the storm was very severe and destructive. The general prostration of telegraph poles is without paralie: in the history of the promt st company. An alarming large number were shiv- ered to pieces by lightning and totally destroyed, while many others were partially destroyed and many prostrated by the wind. ‘To-day will be a busy day in repairing these lines. By to-night they will be ready to tell thelr own story of the storm. A terrific storm of wind and rain passed over Dayton, Ohio, last night, blowing down trees and chimneys, In the country the damage to grain, fencing and sheds is said to be extensive, The Miami River ts full and still rising. A Sad Accident. MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 5, 1873, The terrible storm which swept over Wisconsin yesterday proved very disastrous to pleasure par- ties at Green Lake, Wis. A number of pleasure seeRers on the lake were struck by the storm, their boats capsized, and twenty souls were sent to eternity. The following are the only names that could be obtained :—M. E. Russell and daughter, of Berlin, Ww Jennie Olin, a child of Mr, Allen, Mrs. A. Mrs. George Harding, William Blanham, child, and. Mr. John Bain, all from Dart- Corwin, wife and ford.
