His offer of support to Sefior Salmeron, in his efforts to restore order in Spain, tendered through Admiral Topete, shows that Serrano prefers his country’s good to the gratification of personal malice. It also encourages the belief that the Marshal and his friends are not at present conspiring against the Republic.

The celebration of the centennial of Ameri- can Independence should be such as to honor a day the most worthy of honor. It is true that the histories of nations are divided into epochs, with which centuries, merely as such, have littleto do. The use of one hundred years as a grand division of time is simply a mathe- awe is evoked in the contemplation of what world-wide fields of thought and deed; what broad, fair plains of human good; what exd- less wastes of human ill; what interchang- ing sweep of life and death; what mighty problems beyond man’s -solution are seen dimly looming through the picture wherein we essay to limn a century of the world’s doings. It is an accepted period whereby progress or reaction is measured; and when the dial of the years shall tell us that one han- dred can be counted to the credit of our na- tional existence, what is more natural than that we should pause to look upon the gains, and in doing so mark the altitude of our gratu- lation by a feast of peaceful triumph? As’ the event to be celebrated in 1876 is that which ushered the nation into existence—an infant. with a luminous brow in a troubled time—so must the feast be national in its strongest sense when the citizen children, million breasted, come to honor their mighty mother, as she stands in the pride of power beside the narrow cradle where her first words, one hundred years be- fore, were those of hope and strength to all mankind. No matter how broad the base of the Union may then be, we must look back to a single point as the apex whence all this has broadened ina century. That point is where the Fathers of the Revolution raised their arms and pledged their lives to the nation newly born. There once more must we return to celebrate in peace and joy the day of pride; there is the hallowed ground of the Union in- deed. It is enough that Philadelphia, our sister city, encloses Independence Hall within its boundaries to make it the scene of the national centennial celebration. No other city can dispute the claim to an honor which the date on the Declaration of Independence assigns prescriptively to her. ‘We shall have a century of marvellous ac- tion to recall; we shall have results of that action to show which are unparalleled in the history of the world. In no more appropri- ate manner can this be achieved than by an exhibition to the world of our progress as a people in the arts and sciences of peace. Through the fiery gate of war the young Re- public of America passed into the ways of peace, where her true mission lay. Glowingly as men turn to the days of the struggle for national life, it is not there that in 1876 we must look for the criterion by which our first cycle must be judged. Smaller States have carried on wars beside which the glory of the Revolutionary War would pale upon compari- son. In the battles of the ploughshare and the reaper, the hammer and the loom, instead of those of the sword, will our true glory be harvested. In the army of labor must we count the host wherewith we have combated and triumphed. In the march of that army from ocean to ocean must we trace our progress. In a word, the most substantial proof we can give of eur national strength will be found in the tangible evidences of our industrial achievements. If our conquests have been few in the way that the soldier wins territory, by bloodshed, we shall have some- thing far nobler to show—namely, how the thinking brain and the sturdy arm won rood and acre of the land from the forest, the bar- ren and the wild, until it bloomed beneath our tread. How the land thus won was made to nourish its conquerors will be a story worth the telling in centennial times. If the tale bring not forth either the sabre glitter or the cannon’s roar, or the false and fleeting bril- liance of warrior triumphs, whose traces are slippery with the blood of our fellow man, it will have all tho tranquil, lasting grandeur of a wondrous forward movement with all the attributes of national strength therein dis- played in the name of peace and good will. Where in our way blood has flowed the flowers bloom once more, and he, the chattel of yesterday, who was doomed to toil for others, comes forward regenerate and disen- thralled to ratify with us the great charter of our liberties. We have seen great World Fairs unite the arts and industries of nations beneath one roof in the name of peace ; but to us must remain the matchless opportunity of giving to Universal Expositions a signifi- cance in this regard which no empire or king- dom in the world can hope to give. They have shown what nations can do where the fate of the people is in the hands of an individual or a class ; our opportunity will be to teach the world that the nation which wisely governs itself makes the greatest progress in the arts that most contribute to render ‘‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ the common realization of all. It has repeatédly been urged against us as a nation that our self-consciousness is an ex- aggerated passion--that we are too prone to admire ourselves. But our critics have never denied that our rapid rise in wealth, strength and greatness was one of the most astonish- ing phenomena of the age. Apart, therefore, from what we claim for ourselves, the estima- tion in which the world holds us as a great, throbbing, industrial force must be remem- bered by all our citizens in thinking how America will speak for herself to the eyes as well as the ears of humanity at Philadelphia in 1876. The whole nation, North and South, East and West, should heartily unite to make it, in every respect, a grander success in the display of the peaceful arts than the world has yet witnessed. We shall approach it a strong, united nation, and the last vestige of sectional ill feeling should be buried beneath its walls. When or where could the relics of the bitternesses of the past be more fittingly laid forever to rest? We have sufficiently indicated why in Phila- delphia alone can the Centenary of our inde- pence be nationally honored. The reason is so clear and conclusive that no petty jealousies should intervene to mar the occasion. With any other object in view than the honoring of the Centennial of the nation other cities might well lay claim, on various grounds, to having the Exposition located within their limits. The goodly City of Brotherly Love must, there- fore, be congratulated apon its fortune, and New York will be foremost in this pleasant Free So far from displaying any envy, the Sopuits Gite wih prove her imperial worth in matical convenience; but a deep sentiment of the assistance she will render in the promotion of the enterprise. The foremost city of the Union has enough of glory and merit of her own to let all email ill feclings that might crogs the day dreams of a village pass her by. As the grand metropolis, New York can be proud of her sisters and honestly rejoiced to see them prospering avd happy. ‘We aro yet nearly three years from the time when the Exposition must be finished ; but our preparations cannot be commenced a day too soon. We insist on success, There is time and, if we work earnestly and vigor- ously, ample time to achieve it. Only, how- ever, by a display of what we may fairly claim as national industrial virtues, energy and judgment, can the result answer our expectations and desires, That the build- ing should reflect the msthetio taste of the nation in its finest mood and at the same time meet all the requirements of the Exhibi. tion is what we havea right to expect. We have the experience of other Expositions to guide us in avoiding errors of construction. The site in Fairmount Park, wo may say, is one of the finest that could be obtained in any city of the Union. Among the moss notable shortcomings of the Expositions in London, Paris and Vienna has been the failure to have the arrangements completed on time. An- nouncements, falsified by sluggish prepara- tions, we must avoid. The official machinery and world-wide co-operation necessary to bring about success have been exploited sufficiently to make future failure unpardonable. Let us have everything ready, so that when the day appointed for throwing open the gates of the Palace of Industry and Art shall have arrived the world may enter to behold the proofs of the grandeur and prosperity that illustrate the present and are a gauge of the brilliant future of the Great Republic. The Emperor of Austria, in a visit to the United States section of the Exhibition at Vienna, handsomely complimented the thoughtful intelligence and inventive genius of American workmen. Let him come and see for himself in 1876 how well his words were deserved. The King of Sweden, re- cently conversing with a correspondent of the Henap, dwelt upon the necessity of early preparations in a matter of this nature. If he or his heir should visit our Exposition on the Fourth of. July, 1876, let it be seen that we have not been afraid to take a King at his word. We would guard in every way against the possibility of an embarrassing disappoint- ment to our hopes when the world and his wife look in upon us at our invitation. Should the crowned heads of Europe and the republi- can leaders from all parts of the world join our group on the auspicious occasion we hope to see them return with enlarged ideas of the strength and glory of republicanism. Nassr-ed-Din in the French Capital. Again we surrender valuable space to a de- scription of the peregrinations of the Oriental Prince, Nassr-ed-Din, from the pens of such gifted writers as Mr. Edmund Yates and Mr. Archibald Forbes. The reader may well in- quire why it is that the serio-comic meander- ings of the Shah should engender so much literary effort. The answer is simple. Coupled with the journey of the Shah from Teheran to London is considerable political and financial mystery. From one quarter we hear “He is Reuter’s Shah,”’ from another ‘He is England’s Shah’? and, again, ‘He is only the Shah’s Shah.’’ The Hznaup has employed the first journalistic talent in the world to solve this difficult problem. Mark Twain, in flashes of wit and with strokes of naive humor, has put the King of Kings in a frame of amusing satire and has hung up the picture as a sort of laughing machine. Mr. Edmund Yates has considered His Majesty as five feet eight inches of pageantry. Dr. Hos- mer, with Arctic but admirable philosophy, has endured Nassr-ed-Din as an entertaining but necessary evil. Mr. Grenville Murray has imaginatively exiled himself in Teheran, and in pellucid English has placed the Diamond Shah in his domestic setting of mud, while “Free Lance’’ has assailed the blazing armor of the despot and has grouped the Persian famine and blameless heads falling into the executioner’s basket with obsequious courts doing homage to an ostentatious cipher. This morning another powerful writer describes the regal tourist surrounded by the Marshals of France, occupying the imperial chair while the reorganized French army passes in review. Mr. Forbes ignores the picturesque and the pretty of the scene and seizes upon the occa- sion to give a valuable and carefully consid- ered criticism on the actual condition of the French army. This correspondent was, par excellence, the correspondent of the Franco- Prussian war, and his military letters have given him an enviable reputation as a brilliant writer and a judicious critic. After speaking of the army that didn't need a button—the army of Le Bouf—he pictures the terrible humiliation that came from loose organization and lax discipline; and then we are reminded of the calamities that befell the hastily gathered raw levies and of the final obliteration of the Army of the Défense Nationale. Recalling the active energies of M. Thiers, who, in every effort of his presidency, made the army the nucleus of all his hopes, our correspondent details the mistakes of drill and field evolution which are eliminated from the new organiza- tion. He gives the true sigmificance to the Longchamps review that the French were not ashamed to make a martial display at Long- champs, even after the Shah had reviewed the Imperial Guards at Berlin. In our voluminous correspondence on the Shah's visit to the Western Powers there is the one prominent feature that must strike every reader, that the Hzratp writers have not simply described the person of a barba- rian prince, with a detail of his day and noc- turnal doings; they have woven around his journey » texture of keen philosophy and re- fined disquisition. Civilization as it exists in England and France has put on her Sunday clothes, and the reader has been conducted from the throne room to the workshop, from the review of a great army to nocturnal gam- bling for penny confectionery. The history and aspirations of a stagnant empire in the Eastern desert have been made familiar in every household, and it is because the Shah has been popular educator in this sense that we see DO reason to regret his Summer wan- derings in Europe. Tae ‘“Ivrnansicentes’ area new party in Spain. They are not the streot irreconcilables of Madrid, but the radical secessionists from the Cortes. who, having lofy thas bod jn dip- | and firm to be undermined, gust to the number of forty, are now return- ing to their constituents to agitate the over- throw of the present government. These are the ‘‘intransigentes.”” Some of them have been arrested; but others are still at large, and they will, doubtless, give the existing govern- ment considerable trouble before they are silenced. A Sultry, Raimy Sabbath’s Sermons. It must strike the devout Christian heart as strange that even so many of our city pastors still occupy their pulpits at this advanced period of the Summer and on such a sultry, showery day as yesterday. We present to-day sketches of sermons preached by Drs. Dow- ling, McGlynn, Ewer, Ormiston, Wayland Hoyt and others, not of the second rate, but of the first ministers of our city churches. And to the careful reader it will appear strange also that these good brethren should deem it their proper duty to deliver scientific or phil- osophical essays during the Fall and Winter and Spring, when their congregations are large, and reserve for such weather as this and for sparse congregations such pure doctrinal or practical discourses as for a few Sundays past we have laid before our readers. We would have thought that the larger the congregation the better opportunity and the more impera- tive and important the duty to hold up Christ and His atonement, But. very many of our spiritual guides appear to think that then is their proper, perhaps their best, time to dis- play their knowledge of the philosophies and scientific researches of the age. If these things must be so we are glad and thankful that the pure milk of the word and the form of sound words are reserved for those who, like ourselves, are compelled by duty or interest to stay at home on such Sabbaths as yegterday. Professor Barbour, of Bangor, Me., endeav- ored to illustrate to the Tabernacle Congrega- tionalists how the Saviour’s blessing upon the soul descends like rain upon the new mown grass, and that when our minds are weakened by grief and we look in vain elsewhere for help or succor, He moves to bless and to relieve us. His very gentleness is more powerful than the Summer rain, such as wo had yesterday, or the Autumn breezes that we may expect to blow upon us by and by. With the Saviour holiness is the chief end; for He always comes to rescue us from sin, and to help us to resist or to bear patiently our trials, sorrows and temptations. Dr. McGlynn indicated the proper use to be made of riches, Like the unjust steward in the Gospel who was shrewd enough to make provision for himself against a day of disaster and want, so should we make to ourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness and seek to convert what might be a curse into a blessing, and what might be a source of ruin into one of salvation. This can be done by self-denial and by a judicious distribution of the wealth which God gives us among His poorer creatures, And, if we do this, then when we fail they may receive us into everlast- ing habitations. It is only by being crucified with Christ that we can hope to ascend with Him. And this doctrine of self-denial belongs solely to the Christian system of religion. It is taught in none other. Rev. Wayland Hoyt, opening the mysterious book of life, saw therein much trouble and sorrow—hearts broken with hopes deferred; emptied hearts and emptied hands. The man who accumulates wealth is apt to forget those who are poor and to shut up his bowels of compassion from them. But as we reach a true understanding of the Scriptures we shall find that sympathy means suffering with God as Christ sympathized with and suffered for all mankind. It was just as difficult for Jesus to face the cross asitis for us to face our greatest trials. But we now have His sym- pathy to cheer and His mighty arm to help us to bear our trials, while He had to tread the winepress alone, and of the people there were none with Him. And with this aid we might know, had not Mr. Hood told us, that the Christian life has triumphs as well as trials; that it gains vic- tories more glorious in the eyes of God than those that win the applause of men. We may obtain victories over sin, over adversity, over sorrow, yea, even over death itself, when our hopes are anchored in the sure mercies of God. Dr. Ewer characterized the three years’ life aid ministry of Christ as a continuous miracle. And every particular miraculous act of His was atype of something in the future. Every act of His was also a sugges- tion of great truths to be promulgated and of incidents to occur in the time tocome, and hence His crucifixion was but a type of the agonies and divisions of His greater body— the Church. And thus throughout the Doctor dealt with types and shadows and buds of after-coming flowers. Dr. Ormiston made the conversation on the Mount of Transfiguration between Moses, Elias and Jesus the basis of his discourse. They talked about His decease, which He should accomplish at Jerusalem. ‘And,’’ the Doctor remarked, ‘if we leave out the cross what have we left in the Bible? If we cease to speak of Jesus, His life and His death we might as well suspend our efforts for salvation. It must be Jesus on the Mount, in the pulpit— everywhere.” Dr. Dowling began the first of a series of Sunday evening lectures on the origin of early corruptions of Christianity, and held up these corruptions as a warning to Protestant Chris- tians. From the sketch before us we judge that the Doctor considers Romanism the great- est foe that Protestantism has to contend with. And the first step in the progress of error in the Church in its march toward eccle- siastical usurpation and tyranny he believes to be the spirit of ambition and domination among professed ministers of Christianity. Other steps are the destruction of the inde- pendence of the churches, the union of Church and State, the claim for tradition of co-ordi- nate authority with the Word of God. Bishop Haven, of the Methodist Church, occupied Plymouth pulpit yesterday, and talked about the power and influence of thought upon character and life. Thought in the heart and heart in the thought make the man, and religion in the heart makes the Christian. The Bishop is evidently not in sympathy with the religious croakers who think the age is going away from Christianity. He believes, and so do we, that there is moro correct, Christian theught to-day than thero ever was, and infidelity cannot sap the foun- dations of religion, for these are laid too deep , ‘The News from Spaxim—Active Opera- tems Against the Insurgents, From our despatches of yesterday's date from Madrid it appears that on Saturday the government troops attacked the revolting city of Valencia, and that after a desperate conflict of five hours the fighting was suspended and there was a parley. But the terms proposed in behalf of the city being unsatisfactory the attack would be renewed and the city bom- barded if necessary to bring it to an uncon- ditional surrender. The revolutionista of Seville had also proposed a capitulation on certain conditions, but they, too, are to be held to an unqualified submission. The revolutionists of these two cities and of some others are not Carlists or royalists, but radical republicans, embracing Commu- nists, Internationalists and visionary and piratical ultras of all descriptions. The general idea among them seems to be that of theCom- mune, that each city should be a govern- ment in itself, although the model of the Swiss cantons was proclaimed the other day as the plan of these revolting cities. No doubt their “dangerous classes,” taking advantage of the general confusion of the country, snd having little to lose if defeated and much to gain if successful, attempted in each case of pronunciamiento an act of secession, upon the presumption that the government had fallen to pieces and was barely able to maintain itself in Madrid. If such, however, were the calculations of these insurgent radicals it appears they were very wide of the mark. The Carlist conspiracy for “God, Country and King’’ has no more connection with the revolts in the cities indicated than there is between the Bourbons and the reds. Be- tween these two extremes stands the present republican government in Spain, and it has both to fight. The revolting reds or radicals seem to be wholly unequal to the task they have assumed; but the Carlists are formid- able enemies. Secretly or openly, they are supported by a large portion of the aristocracy of Spain, and the Ohurch is with them. Our latest reports of their movements do not show that since their capture, sacking and burning of Igualada they have achieved any success, great or small; but they are evidently becom- ing stronger in the field, in men and materials of war, from day today. Theyareasevidently sanguine of success to the carrying of Don Carlos in triumph to Madrid ; but in this they may be greatly mistaken. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. A New Albany man has a rattlesnake to present to the ugliest man in the country. James Redpath has taken editorial charge of the Charieston Chronicle. Will he write his lines in blood ? R.

He never answers neigh, On quo warranto proceedings Judge Vail of the Twenty-sixth Circuit Court of Missouri has been ousted to make room for one Dinning, and Vail is hunting around in this vale of tears in search of republican sympathy to send him to Congress. Mr. Wadsworth, the American Commissioner. has, in aeply to the summons of the Department of State, telegraphed that he will be in Washington next week to meet the new Mexican Commis- sioner, when arrangements will be made for re- suming the business of the American aud Mexican Claims Commission. Mr. H. ©. Rothery, Registrar of the High Court of Admiralty of England, has been appointed her Majesty’s Agent for the Settlement of the Fishery Questions between the Canadian Dominion and the United States under the Treaty of Washington.

The New York Herald of Yesterday Sold at the Springs in the Afternoon—A futile Attempt to Prevent the Newsboys from rofiting by the Enterprise. SaRatTooa, July 27, 1873. There was considerable of a sensation created in Saratoga this aiternoon on the arrival of the HERALD of this morning. Up to this the people of this place and the visitors here from all parts of the country have been compelled to wait over un- til Monday for their Sunday's HeRaLp. To New York- ers especially this wasa hurdship. This afternoon as the newsboys wi had left New Yorkin the morn- ing, travelled from East Albany by horses through the rain storm, and commenced crying out “The New York Heeatp” in the streets of Saratoga, a genuine sensation was the result. Only for the heavy condition of the roads, by reason of the heavy rains during the day, the paper would have been in the streets earlier. The news dealers were amazed at the enterprise and endeavored, very foolishly, to prevent the boys from selling their papers. In some cases they threatened to have them arrested. The police, too, sided with the dealers. The boys, however, continued their work, and from the number of people to be seen in the hotels and on the streets with Heratos in their possession the boys have evidently reaped a rich harvest, THE BROOKLYN FLEET.

Itis said he has’ recently repeated that he is inno hurry to do 89,. there being no present public necessity for such action. He will dot make the appointment until it can be acted on by the Senate, and, in the mean- time, he will endeavor to select @ Ohief Justice who will be acceptable to the entire country. Postal Chanaes Consequent on the Aboli~ tion of the Franking Privilege. For several years past there has been an agret- ment between our postal authorities and those of Canada that mail matter franked here and des- tined for Canada be delivered there free, and such matter properly franked in Canada and destined for this country would be delivered here free. There was no clause in the postal treaty with thas country providing for such an arrangement, but the matter was one of reciprocity between the two departments. Now that the franking privilege 1s abolished im the United States and postage must be collected on all mail matter the Post- master General has notified the Canadian authort- ties that is will be impossible for him to continue this reciprocal arrangement, on the grounds above mentioned. It has also been customary with the Post Office Department, as a matter of courtesy, to take charge of the mail packages of some of the Foreign Ministers and transmit them between this city and New York, but arrangement has also been terminated, by reason of the law requiring that postage be collected on all mail matter. The Census Mortuary Repert. General Walker has wnitten to a friend com tradicting the statement that the mortality statis- tics were omitted inadvertently from the compen- dium of the census. They were emitted because they are, in the nature of the case, not susceptible of condensation ; and if inserted, would have: crowded out other classes of statistics of far more popular interest. The tables of mortality have been: published at full length, in an edition of ten thou- sand copies, which, it is believed, is sufficient to supply all the real students of mortuary statistics in the United States, Only about one-quarter of the matter of the quarto volumes could be ad- mitted into the compendium; and those portions which were deemed most deserving of a& wide distribution were accordingly selected. The American and Spanish Claims Com- mission has adjourned until the istofSeptember. Although this Commission was organized more than two years ago a few cases only have been decided’ adverse to Spaniards, wno have declared their in- tention to become American citizens, These claims were ruled out, as not coming within the terms of the treaty, the umpire deciding that only full American citizens can be recognized. There is much difficulty in obtaining evidence, owing to the unsettled condition of the island of Cuba. The Patent Cigar Box Question. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue will take no present action onthe patent cigar box question. He will leave the city on the 1st of August, to be absent several weeks. Determined that more stringent measures shall be taken to prevent frauds, he has asked the dealers to consider and suggest to him some plan by which the revenue can more strictly be collected, and his subordinate officers in the Bureau have been instructed to give their attention to the subject, so that, having the views of both sides, he may come to an intelligent conclusion during the coming month, THE HERALD ESTABLISHMENT VIEWED FROM A “ROMAN STANDPOINT. sath eigen {From the Rome (Ga.) Courier (New York Corres spondence), July 24.) Our first night in New York was spent in the kingdom of the HeraLp. We say kingdom, for the domain of no king presents @ grander ex- hibition of human enterprise, energy and power than 18 presented in the granite walls of that mammoth establishment. Ita foundations are laid deep in the earth, two stories uoder the ground, and its walls tower five stories above. From this granite pavement deep in the ground to the Mansard roof high in the air, beats the great heart whose pulsations are felt in the remotest quarter of the globe. It requires the solid arguments of figures to give an idea of the magnitade of the pressroom and the immense power ofits machinery. A huge engine of 150 horse power, snorting up in an obscure cor- ner, was the least to be observed. We oiten find it thus—those agencies which are the vital springs of action are the least noticed. The corner-stone which upholds the weight of the building ts hidden under the ground, while the filligre work on the comb is the admiration of the least obser- vant eye. Driven by this engine we found in busy work five of Hoe’s ten-cylinder presses and two of Bullock's perfecting presses. To each of the Hoe presses it required ten men as feeders and three or four fly boys and men to attend to papers. The cost of the Hoe presses was $53,000 each, that of the Bullock $25,000, making a total cost of presses $315,000, When to this we add the cost of the engine, shating, &c., say twenty thousand and more, we have & basis upon which to found an es- timate of the gigantic enterprise of the HemaLp. To accommodate each one of these presses it re- quires a room thirty-four feet long, eighteen feet wide and eighteen feet high. The underground rooms of the HERALD building afford ample accom- modation for the use of the seven presses, besides the engine and its coal room, And all this was but the beginning; we give ita figures only as an initial integral of the great whole. It is almost fabulous to contemplate. Who can think of it for # moment and not have a feeling of wonder at the grandeur and magnitude of the HERALD. OBITUARY. Simeon Fair.
