Before Mr. Glad- | and due recognition of human @ ependence | stone retired from his office it was in- “Indepe' mee Now and Indepen Forever!” It is true that Joho Adams never made the speech from which these well known | words are quoted, and that it was invented | for him and put into his mouth by Webster half a century after the occasion. But there | ant | the wars of the French Revolution and the | | their is no doubt that Adams entertained the sen- timent nor that he believed independence, if | once achieved, would be permanent, But at the time these words are fancied to have been spoken it would have required the sanguine | form this noble aspiration into a fixed belief, that we tail to realize that it was ever inany danger, and that for the first half century aiter the Declaration it was rather upheld by the favor of a protecting Providence than olutionary War we were assisted by other na- | tions who were willing to see England crip- | pled by the dismemberment of ter empire. | She came out of that war exhausted, and | when, at the end of ten years, she had re- cuperated her resources, she found too much other employment for them to turn her attention to the resubjugation of her colonies. embarrassed by the si the resources which Eng! aad squandered in great Napoleonic wars might have been sufli- | cient to subdue usin our then feeble condi- | tion, Our national infancy was sheltered | by the quarter of a century of convulsions in Europe. Toward the close of those gigantic struggles we were drawnginto a war with England, but she had too much other busi- ness on her hands to think of conquest. By the time when general peace was established in Europe we had grown up to such strength that neither England nor any other one nation could have had any hopes of subduing us. There was but one subsequent danger to our independence, and that was of short duration. | It was the danger that led to the celebrated declaration since familiarly known as the ‘Monroe doctrine.” Had England, in that crisis, joined the Holy Alliance instead of in- viting us to unite with her in opposing it, we might have been called to fight again for our independence, and not against England alone, but all Europe. Had England joined the Holy Alliance it was one of chief purposes to assist Spain in recovering her revolted colonies, and when this was accomplished they would gladiy have assisted England in alike way. Our government was thoroughly alarmed, and great was the rejoicing by Mr. Monroe and his Cabinct when the despatches were re- ecived from Mr, Ruth communicating the confidential proposal of Canning. The occa- sion was felt to be so important that the President sent the papers to Jefferson and to Madison for their perusal andadvice. ‘Che result was a cordial understanding with Can- ning and the celebrated declaration in Presi- dent Monroe’s next Message warning the na- | tions of Europe against further attempts at colonization on ‘‘these continents." This auspicious result was mainly due to the lib-,| eral and enlightened policy of the illastrious | Canniag, who, by inviting our aid, kept Eng- | land out of the Holy Alliance, which he | considered as the proudest achievement of his life. It was the occasion of his famous rhet- | orical boast that he ‘‘had called a new world into existence to redress the balance of the old.” It is not probable that England would have withstood the Holy Alliance with- out our co-operation, since her single resistance might have resulted in war and our neutrality would have given us | the carrying trade of her enemies. But if we | were joined with her the commerce of the Powers forming the Holy Alliance would be annihilated as soon as they began hostilities. The Monroe doctrine was o second declara- tion of independence which, completing and | rounding off the first, insured indepen- dence forever. By that time we had grown strong enough to cope single-handed with any | separate Power of Europe, and by detaching | England from the grand coalition of Conti- \ | | | occupied with the great subject of her life, Arctic exploration and the discovery of traces ot her lost husband. It is to be regretied that she cannot live to witness the return of the Pandora. | | | | | | A Seccnrey Inpran Ovrnacz is that de- | tailed in the communication of Commissioner | Smith to the Department of the Interior. | There ought to be restitution, but it should | be made by the State of Kansas, and not by | Congress. | | Tur Amzrtcan Victory in Ireland makes everything ia regard to the visit of our rifle- men to that country especially interesting, and so the details which we print in our Dub- | lin letter this morning will be welcome ad- | denda to the news we have already published. | ace AEN | Ovr Sxconp Oaprrat.—Long Branch has | really become one of the national capitals.

The despots who were plotting | to suppress liberty in every part of the world | would have paid little regard to the declara- | tion at that time if they had not known, | through diplomatic channels, that it was prompted and supported by England. We have thought it fit and courteous to re- call these important facts in the history of our independence on this occasion, because in | | celebrating its hundredth anniversary, next | confidence of an inspired prophet to traus- | by the strength of the country, In the Rev- | Joy: occasion in of It has | this view ; Centennial. with its preliminaries, may restore the old Four cents per copy. | Our independence has so long been secure | fraternal sentiments between the South and | the North. Such sentiments are wise and timely, and they are certain to gain strength festivites. But we apprehend that the re- only a part of the strength of their case. is not merely that Massachusetts and South Carolina stood side by side in '76, powerful as this appeal to early recollections is and ought to be. The strong point is—and before the close of the centennial year the North will acknowledge it—that our Southern brethren have a livelier appreciation of the patriots of perienced as a reality. They have been themselves in the position of revels. They, too, have fought for independence, and, while so fighting, they nourished their hearts and strengihened their fortitude by constant meditation on the deeds and the heroes of the Revolution. The position into which we of the North were forced for the maintenance of tho Union tended to put us out of sympathy with the revolutionary spirit. We learned, for the first time, how govern- ments feel that are rebelled against, and lost our former admiration ot rebels. Upito the outbreak of our civil war there was not a rebellion m Ireland, or in South America, or in Greece, or in Hungary, or in any part of the world, in which the warmest sympathies of this country were not freely given to the rebels against their government. The South continues to retain this feeling, and as danger to the Union is forever past there is no rea- son why we should not relight the partially extinguished torch at the Southern altar where the fire has been kept steadily burn- ing. Our Southern brethren will ultimately acknowledge that we did them an invalu- able service in frustrating their attempt and making its repetition hopeless; and, on the other hand, we shall yet acknowledge that they acied from the noblest seatiments directed to a mistaken object. We have something to gain from them in capacity to enter into the spirit which achieved our inde- pendence, Life-Saving Stations. The value of the system of life-saving sta- tions established on our coasts may be esti- amated by the aid of the official report published in Washington. From this report it appears that during the past six months filty-nine wrecks, imperilling some eight hundred and sixty-two lives, occvrred in the vicinity of the life-saving stations. The value ot the aid ren- dered may be judged from the fact that out of | this large number only fifteen of the ship- wrecked lost their lives. Fourteen of these | were lost in the wreck of the fated Italian bark Giovanni, ‘which struck so far from the shore as to be out of reach of any life-saving appara- tus at present invented. These are most sat- isfactory results, and we hope that measures will be taken to further increase the efficiency | of this most valuable department of the public service, The results already obtaincd more than justify the creation of the life-saving sta- | tions, and ought to act asan inducement to their further multiplication. Not alone have | hundreds of valuable lives been saved, but property to the value of over one million and | a half has been rescued from the waves within a very few months. The tctal value of prop- erty rescued from loss by these stations since their establishment in 1871 amounts to the | large sum of four millions and a half nearly, while the total number of lives imperilled dur- ing the same period was two thousand four x oe | hundred and filty-one.

At | the same time it is curious to observe that the English journals in announcing tais fact make no comment upon the propriety of tho offer. _In other words, while it was looked upon as a sm Tious political scandal for the President of the.

But this matt F only leads us to consider many other rumo's recently circulated to the effect that Di 'raeli proposes to retire from public life, HL? has been in ill health for some time. He ca iplains of: bronchitis and other ailments. He is said to fret under the care of official business, His management of the House a,“ Commons during this session has been markal with blunders which from s0 consummate a.vnaster of politi- cal tact can oyly indicate » falling off of his natural powers. Furthermore,4Mr. Disraeli is now an old man. His life hasbeen one of excitement and labor. He is older’ than Mr. Gladstone, his rival, who retired sthe, other day from sheer desire to find rest. Mr. Dis- racli now occupies the position for which he has given all the years of a long and laborious life. He will not resign the prize until, com- pelled to do so by infirmity and years. It is in obedience to these inexorable demands, if we may accept the statements of the English press, that he proposes to surrender the Min- istry of England and the leadership of the tory party. The retirement of Mr. Disraeli from public affuirs will take out of this generation one of its most interesting and conspicuous charac- ters. As to the effect upon the party itis Gifficult to prophesy. Mr. Disraeli has held the tories together since the death of Lord Derby, in spite of many adverse influences, He was never thoroughly at home with the leaders of that rich, aristocratic and exclusive organization. A plebeian from an alien race, without natural sympathy with the institu- tions of England or the English character, it seemed to be the irony of politics that he should be called upon to lead a party which represented the proudest traditions of the English name. His predecessor, the Earl of Derby, was a representative of one of the oldest and noblest houses in the realm. High noblemen, dukes and earls, descendants of men who had come over to England with the Conqueror and fought in the wars of the Roses, and who had given counsel to Eliza- beth, did not kindly accept the leadership of a man whose ancestors were at that time straying in the Southern lands under religious and social ostracism. Mr. Disraeli has held his power at the head of the tory party by the sheer force of intellect, and the question arises whether his successor will wield equal influence. Who will succeed Disracli, and what will come after him? * Gossip points to many statesmen. We are told the Duke of Rich- mond, the leader of the tory party in the House of Lords, may be an available chief. The Duke of Richmond is little more than a name, and is the leader of the tory lords be- cause of his name. The Earl of Derby prob- ably stands at the head of the tory party, not only trom his rank, but from his acquire- ments and experience and the general confi- dence felt in his capacity by the English peo- ple. Whether Lord Derby is conservative enough for the tory party is a problem. Next to Lord Derby we have the Marquis of Salisbury, a man of high gifts, who mutinied under Mr. Disracli’s general- ship before, who came into the new rebuked by his chief and who has never and experience and rank to lead the tory party; questions to make hrm a serviceable states- man. ‘Time may temper these views, as it has tempered those of others—of Mr. Disraeli, who began the career of a conservative by the expression of extreme radical ideas, and of Gladstone, who was once a stern, unbend- ing tory. In the House of Commons it is difficult to know who will succeed Mr. Dis- racli. Sir Stafford Northcote has been re- garded, until the last session, as a moderate, sate man. In the recent financial debates he has shown unusual capacity. Mr. Gathorne Hardy has also much power with the House. There are other rising men in the Cabinet who | are winning distinction from day to day, but there is no one nan who is competent to take the place of the ailing leader and to thor- oughly succeed him not only in the allegiance of the party but in thé confidence of the Eng- lish people.

How other- | tween the wrangling officials over tho Jane Mayor Wickham Sarely Going. It appears that the Prefect of the Seine, who is, in fact, the Mayor of Paris, has accepted the invitation of the Lord Mayor of London to visit the British metropolis, and this news will naturally not be without its effect on the determination of our Mayor in regard to tho invitation to make the same visit. It is under- stood that Mr, Morrissey, since the news came | that the Mayor of Paris will be there, bas been very desirous to go with Mayor Wickham in order to utilize @ large French dictionary red€ntly purchased by him. Doubtless, there- fore, it may bo anticipated that, now that the Rapid Transit Commissioners are appointed, His Honor will set out as soon as he has made arrangements for the procession of the 12th of July. The apprehension that this purpose hed been abandoned by His Honor has been viewed with alarm by many of our distin- guished public citizens. We do not, see that His Honor need even wait for the purpose of reviewing tho Orange- men on the 12th of July; for it is well known that Governor Tilden has pur- chased a fine suit of orange, trimmed with blue, in which, on horseback, he will review the descendants of the men who fought the Battle of the Boyne. And it is more impor- tant that Governor Pilden should perform this work than Mr. Wickham, because he is a candidate for the Presidency, and is just now ready to review any body of men, Orangemen or Ribbonmen, Frenchmen or Germans or Span- iards, anybody, in fact, except the old Ameri- cus Club, with whom the Governor is not upon reviewing relations. Now that we are to have an exciting struggle over Tammany Hall an easy-minded man like Mayor Wickham would find much comfort in the repose of the Strand and Fleet street. Why should on orator of so much eloquence, a story teller of so much ‘humor, a ballad singer of so much harmony, a statesman of so much profundity of thought— why should this first gentleman of the:age be doomed to sit by and listen to a barking, 'Tam- many quarrel when he might be ridimg up Pall Mall in an open barouche carrying in his hands the flag of his country and shouting defiance to the British lion and to the com- bined tyrannies of Europe in the name of a free and independent republic ? More than all, his brother Mayor, Stokley, of Philadelphia, commonly called in the high circles of that town “Bill Stokley,” the head of the city Ring, is also about to visit Europe to talk to the Lord Mayor about the Cen- tennial. Now the great danger is that if we allow Bill Stokley to go while our own Bill stays at home the impression will take deep. root in the English mind that there is only one city in America, and that its name is Philadelphia. These Philadelphians are a shrewd, cunning people and have long envied the glory of New York, and who knows that if Philadelphia Bill once has gccess to the ears ot the British capitalists at the table of the Lord Mayor we shall not have within six months all our steamboat lines running to Philadelphia, all our trade transferred té that will become to the metropolis of Pennsylvania what Communipaw is to New York? So that, even for the self-protection of our commerce and of our city’s greatness, Mayor Wick ham is bound to make this journey. The Firemen’s Pay—Shail the culty Be Renewed? The wrangling between Mayor Wickham and Comptroller Green for the past four or five months has been discreditable to those officials and disgraceful to the city; but it resulted in no positive evil until it blocked the payment of the firemen’s salaries, When the Comptroller, through malice, and the Mayor, through stubbornness, risked the de- moralization of this important branch of the | city government it was timo for the people to insist that such puerilo squabbles should | cease. The abandonment by Mr. Green of his ill-judged attempt to return to the cum. | brous single-warrant system in paying a | force of eight hundred or a thousand men, would, it was hoped, finally end this partic- | ular controversy and restore a decent show of harmony and official courtesy to the-city gov- ernment. Mayor Wickham’s letter acknowl- | edging the reccipt of the company payrolls | seemed to court a truce. He congratulates and thanks the Comptroller for his conces- Dif. “ placid, pastoral city, while this metropolis | manner of drawing the warrants without ace cepting all the responsibility for keeping the amen out of their money. Under these cir- emustances it is to be hoped that he will re- consider the threat conveyed in his letter to the President of the Fire Department and will entirely abandon the effort to change the mode of ptying the men, . The Pulpit Yesterday. Many of the sermons delivered from the metropolitan puipits yesterday were inspired by the day of whiah it was the anniversary, but we confess to much surprise at the narrow sectarianism mad bigotry which most ofthem betrayed. The Bev. Dr. Bellows was particularly foolish and feeWe in his opinions, especially in his arraignment of the Roman Catholic Church for opposing the use of the Protestant version of the Bible in the pub- lic schools. If tbe Catholics were in the majority in this State we can conceive of no greater wrong to the Protestant children than an endeavor to force the Douay Bible upon them. Why, then, should Protestant clergymen seek to do a wrong of which they would themselves bitterly complain? The Rev. Mr. Terry, of the Eighteenth street Methodist church, preached in a somewhat similar vein, but he found more to rejoice at in our institutions and was not so reckless in his statements. While we may doubt the wisdom of discussing the school question in the pulpit at this time it is a fair subject of remark, if clergymen think any good purpose can be seryed by its agita~ tion. In the North Presbyterian church, in Ninth avenue, the Rev. S. B. Rossiter preacked on religion and ‘politics'and set his clerical brethren a good example by simple pleading. for more Christians as well as more patriots, Out of the city the same genoral topies were. the subjects of the pulpit discourses. At Sea Cliff the Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman, of Washing- ton, delivered an address on the results of one hundred years of nationality; but a great part of the sermon was aimed at the Jesuits, and the Pope and Cardinal were familiarly warned by the parson. It will thus be seen that a fit- ting occasion fora little patriotic preaching gave rise to much unnecessary and, some bitter discusson, and jt is not likely that any’ one will be the better for it.

The only justification of imposing the death penalty in this case isin the fact that there will bo one dangerous criminal less in the world. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

We regret ta, see that the | Comptroller does. not meet tlie Mayor’s over- tares in a friendly spirit. ‘On the contrary, in a letter addressed to anither subordinate officer of the city governvaent, Mr. Green discourteously accuses the!Mayor of omitting to perform his duty and, of studying his own personal comfort and, conveniencesat the expense of the Eire Department, and con- veys an intimation that ‘the payment of the mon in money by company rolls will only be made this time ‘to avoirl further delay.’’ There is, therefore, ‘some reason to fear an immediate renewal of the contention be- payrolls of the Fire Departmont. If the | men’s.

As they are all related it might be a fair inference that the same infirmities of temper ran round the circle and led to the same result in all these cases.
