At nine o’clock yesterday morning appropriate Cen- tenntal services were held ed gospel tent of SH. ‘Tyng, Jr., Thirty-fourth street, near Sixth avenue, ‘The services were opened with prayer by Mr. Hump- stone, after which General E. H. Tremaine delivered an eloquent oration. Ho was londly applauded through. out. The congregation then sung “My Country, ‘Tis of Tee,” “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “Hold the Fort? and “all Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.”? The Rev. H. Tyng made a long address in whieh he alluded to the grand celebration of this, the giorions Centennial anniversary of the nation’s freedom. Every seat in tho tent was occupied. MUSIC IN THE Panks, One of the most delightful fe res of the celebration Yesterday afternoon was the music ordered by the De- partment of Parks in the different parks throughout the city. It was evidently looked upon as a great treat by the publio’generally, for large crowds assembled to bear the music in all the parks, and marked their ap- Preciation of it by their appluuse, The music com- Menced in the Central at bull-past four P. M., and tm the rest half an hour earher. ‘the classes of listeners varied almost os widely as the local ties in whreh they listesed, the Central Park veing thoroughly cosmopolitan in iia company, Mount Mor- ris and fempkins being patrovized by Germans iostly, and the Batt by the Celtic residents of lower wards, with here and there a nautical customer. ‘To the crevit of all, however, bo it suid, there was nothing to mar the pleasure provided, All were orderly and well conducted, and whenever a patriotic air was per- formed it usually received the credit of an encore. {t 4 noticeable fact, however, that the selections were 80 arranged a8 not'to exclic (oo greata flow. of pa- | triousm, ‘Hail Columbia,” *Star-Spangled Banner” apd “Yankee Doodle” being interspersed with the choicest Of operatic gems. It was buta short time after the music ceased when the display bed dreworks ordered by the City Fathers was comm AT THE CITY HALL, All of the residents of tho lower wards of the Metropolis congregated in the park fronting the City Hall last evening to hear she music given by Dodworth’s band and to witness the pyrotechnic display in honor ot the national jubilee, The fagade of the Hall was elaborately decorated with emblems of unity aud peace. Under the marble balcony, where the guests of te city were seated, was the band and the officers of depart- ments, Flanking the main entrance to the Hail were seats. occupied by the Municipal Council and their trionds. ‘Tbe plaza was kept clear by the police for tho use of those superintending the fireworks, Outside of the railed and cordoned space the citizens flocked, anxious to testify by their presence the glad feeling of strength gained by the country in its struggle fora century against the governmental systems of Europe. Promptly at nine P, M., while the green clad spaces of the park were covered with the denizens of the lower wards, the north front of the Post Office lined with ex- pectant faves, every .window. and house top on Park row, Printing House square, Tryon row and Broadway lined with spectators, the music commenced. Even the bronze etatuo of Franklin did not escape the youths intent upon the centennial celebration, At nine P, SM. they had scaled the granite buso and twined their arms. about the patriot’s legs for safety and for pleasure, Expectation ran high among tho spectators, tor they knew that in former years the appropriation tor fire- works at the City Hall Park had been usually $2,000; Ithad reached $5,000.

AT MOUNT MORRIS SQUARE. The citizens of the upper wards were invited to par- ticipate im the Centennial ceremonies at Monnt Morris square, and last evening it seemed as if they had ac- cepted the ivitation, The appropriation for this park iu former years reached $2,000 and averaged $1,500.

The festival was inaugurated by nine of the best known of tho German singing societies of New York.

Pannos, of the Heineburd. CASUALTIES AND FIRES, The usual large number of casualties and fires oc- urred in the city from tho effects of fireworks, Fow cof the former were dangerous, and none of the latter were serious, IN BROOKLYN. When the glorions Fourth dawned upon Brooklyn it found Young America up and on the alert to add to the chorus of expios! ns which filled the air and impreg- nated the atmosphere with the odors of sulphur and saltpetre. One hundred guns were discharged on Fort | Greene, a vational salute was fired at the Navy Yard, the steamers along the river blew their whistles aod church bells were rung as a salutation to the ceutennial day. In fact, it might almost bo said that the morning was but a continuation of the night’s noisy demonstra- tion, go br:ef was the period which elapsed between the close of tho programme of the 3d and the opening of the festivities of the 4th. Thore wasa great rush for the green sward and the seashore among those who were weary of the noise and deafening reports. All the cars going to Concy Island—and there were sixty At Prospect Park thousands of mev, women and children ; passed the daz in the enjoyments which that popular resort affords. At noon salutes ware again fired on Fort Greene * on the reeviving ship Grand bigh mass was celebratgd at St, Stephen's, St Mary’s Scar of the Sea, the Cathedral, Church of the Visitation, St. Patrick's, St. Joseph's, Our Lady of Mercy, St. Charles Borromeo and other leading Catho- Ne churches ot Brooklyn, by order of Rigbt Rev, John Loughiim, in thanksgiving to God tor the blessing be- stowed apon the pation, and prayers were offered for the continuance of His mercy toward the people, At the conclusion of the musses, which were well at- tended, a ‘Te Deum” was sung. ON LONG ISLAND. The celebration of the Centennial was very hearty and very general on Ligng Isiand, commencing in some Places on the evening previous, and @ontinuing until midnight last bight. So much bunting, such a unl- | versal display of fags, was never before seen on the island, ana the explosions of torpedoes, crackers, pis- tols, guns aud cannon were constantly to be heard in alldirections. In some of the principal vil.ages— notably in Flushing, Jamaica, Hicksville, Huntington, Riverbead, Bab Patchogue and Greenport—the iMaminations last evening were beautiful, and the pay, ot fireworks was elaborate, appropriate and indsome. ‘ ON STATEN ISLAND. The morning of tho centennial Fourth opened on Staten Island with the boom ng of cannon, the cracking of emall arms and Grecrackess and the ringing of bells. The chimes of St. Jon's church, at Chifton, and other viliage churches were rung. With’ few exceptions the buildings, public and private, were draped with the American colors, from top to foundation, i bor at New Brighton wna were handsomely de In the evening there were very general and very handsome tiiuminagions im all the villages, with nw. | merous private exbivitions of lireworks. IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, Throughoat Westchester county the centennial anni- versary of “Independence Day” was celebrated with | great enthasmsm. Nearly every town, village and homlet tn the county had its separate, forma! pro- gramme of patriotic exercises. In Mount Vernon thir- iwen uuns were fired, followed immediately by a general ringing’ of the fire, churen | and other bells. At oue A.

Evarts Reviews: the Glory | of the Century. elect e | THE STORY OF THE NATION'S BIRTH. “Unity, Liberty, Power and} Prosperity.” Paitapecrnta, July 4, 1876. The Fourth of July was to the 3d like Pelion piled on Ossa, a sky-aspiring peak of the Himmalayas, with a | forits podestal. The excitement of the night, the torchlight parade, the tolling of the new bell of liberty from the State House | steeple, the midnight festival in old Independence square, served only as a basis for the excitement of today. There was very little sicep in Philadelphia lust night, Belle, guns, fireworks, music, and all the amusements which John Adams described so eloquently, and many that he did not imagine, turned | night into day, and the sun rose upon many thousands of people already thronging the streets Broad street was crowded, but the grand display was around Inde pendence Hall. The great military parade, the finest ever seen in Philadelphia, camo gloriously marching down Chestnut street early in the morning, their colors glowing and their bright bayonets gleaming in the suniight, while music trom many a splendid band filled the air with its inspirtting strains, The Governor of Pennsylvania, the gallant Hartranft, the rival of Hayes for the Presidency, led the troops, surrounded by a staff as distinguished as their own commander, I stood on the battlements of the Ledger Building, with tne old liberty bell pealing out the hours scarcely a stono’s throw away. Far away to the south- east were the waters of the blue Delaware; on the east the spire of the fumous Christ church, where Bishop White preached and Washington listened a century ago, sparkled like a bediamonded finger uplifted to heaven morning splendor, Turning to the northwest we saw the marble magnificence of Girard College, with the Cathedral nearer, and the Masonic temple and innumerable spires, and all this beautitul view of the city between jts two rivers was made like sunrise with the red, the white and the biue of the American flag. The troops marched fast, Tho time was almost a quickstep, and the jong, undulating line kept in perfect movemcnt to t biare of the trumpets and tho beating of tho drums) Every = window = was filled “with eager faces and the sidewalks were literally packed with people, ‘The parade was reviewed in front of the | old State House and presented arms as it passed Many a famous regiment was in the lino, Cheers wel, | comed the ancient Washington Grays, a Philadelphia company, which furnished more general officers to the Union army during the war than any other militia com pany in the United States, The First Pennsylvania regi- ment, which Governor Hartranft did the bonor to sum- mon to suppress the riots in the coat regions recently marched im capttal style, with Beck's Band before. The State Fencibies, one of the best companics in the Union, which is drilled blindfold by the tap of the drum and prides itselt upon the perfection of its evolu: tions, moved like a single man. Tho Fourth Virginia artillery made avery fine dislay. The Spattish engi- neers moved in an easy style, different from our own drili, and the Seventh New York regiment, out in full strength, were attended along tho entire route with continual cheers, Philadeiphia did full honor to the famous New York regiment. The troops which wore the ancient uniform of the Revolution recalled the time when up that same street—tho sa:ne, but how different in 1876 from what it was a hundred yeats ago, General George Washington, commanding the Coun | nental army, marched through Philadelphia, first, to | encourage the people, aud, second, to baille tho British, Philadelphia was atterward captured by tho foe, a fact over which John Adams groaned and grieved, just as many citizens of our own day complained of MoClellan’s inactivity, but now we welcomed the British to our Centennial celebration, and when General Sherman and Sir Edward Thornton this morning came from Independence Hall, arm in arm, the peopie crowded around them and cheered and ro Joiced, as if England and America had not had two wars and as if they were certain they would not havea third, Thus all the troops, in splendid form, and it 1s impossible to give them all their due—‘and as for tha | | | the Book of Chronicles?’’—passed in review before Gencrai Shorman and were freed from their knapsacks and muskets soon after the Beil of Liberty struck ten, THR SOUTHRRN SOLVIKKS IN THR PARADR, The great feature of the parade, however, was the hearty reception given to the soldiers of the South, It ‘was a grand sight when the First Virginia marched by Independence Hali, the band’piaying “I Wish { Were in Dixie” amid shouts and good natzre and laugh- ter and the waving of handkerchiefs aud bots, There we saw the prool that the waris over, “My Mary- re-ounded under the walis of the State House. Twelve yeurs ago who would have dared to have played “Dixie” ip the streets of this town? Texas, with her artillery and rifles, was not lees warmly welcomed, and the Ola Guard of thy Lone Star state and the Old Guard of Bos- ton wore embraced together im the City of Brotherly Jove. But the credit is not wholly dae to Philadelphia; sho must share the honor with her guests from every section of the Union. THE COMMEMORATION OF THE DAY The ceremonies in Independence square began soon after ten A. M. There were probably 60,000 people ou that ancestral ground and in the ueighborbood more than 100,000, The grand platform held about 3,000 and the grass was trodden by multitudes and the trees, numbers of them 100 years ofd, were filled with patriots, The scene was glorious and heaven smiled upon thé commemoration of the day when Engiand was so lucky as to get rid of hor poor rela- tions, The sun was warm, the air was cool, and the patriotic enthusiasm was like a six-chambered thermometer, The flag of the Union streamed upon the centennial breeze—centenutal, I beg to say, vo- cause nobody cares in Philadeiphia jor anything which is not centennial, Kven the young women wish Wey were graudmothers, and that they could boast of greater antiquity than they possess, Hair dye gone out of fashion and tho Major Fenden- nis of Philadelphia has thrown away His ar. tideial teeth, Wigsby i# like the pterodactyl a toasil, Old gentiemen of exghty-five years voust that they are 4 hundred, and young fellows of forty or eo waik heavily upon cance and ry to arenme the fash. jonable octogenarian style.

Programme which the managers of the cele- bration bad provided General Hawley’s open- ing speech was brief, but i was 60 ex- cellent that everybody wished it had been longer, when he said he wished one thousand welcomes to strangers, every one within reach of his voice cheered heartily. He introduced Vice President Ferry a8 tho Chairman of the meeting, and that gentleman ma admirable officer and a powerful address He was rather too severe on the kings who were present, but then he made ample atonement to Dom Pedro and Princo Oscar, in neat compliments subsequently, WHERR WAS THE PRESIDENT? The absence of General Grant was the subject of un!- versal comment, The people could not understand why the President of the United States, without offer- ing any excuse at all, without even writing a letter of congratulation or regret, should remain away from the Great national festival. Grant was very severely spoken of for this apparent disrespect of the event, | and was scarcely mentioned even by the orators. His name, when it was uttered, feil flatly on the public, There is a bit of secret history connected with the absence of the President, which might as well be published now as hereafter, It is well known in ofi- cial circles here and in Washington that several weeks ago General Grant refused to attend the Centennial | celebration. The United States Commission were very anxious that he should preside, and sent their ambas- sadors to Washington. But ali of the influence brough to bear upon the President failed. No argu- ment nor persuusion could . move him, His | reasons for deliverately staying away are unknown, | but if they are “satisfactory to himsel!?’ they are not | to the people, who hold his absence to be an insult to Little, however, was lost in the effect | upon the celebration. Mr. Ferry was a much better presiding offeer than General Grant could have been, | THe ELNCTRIC RYPECT. The grand event of the day was the exhibition of the | original manuscript of the Declaration of Independence by Mayor Stokley belore it was read by Richard Henry | Lee. When that document was announced by Mr. | Ferry and raised on high by Mr. Stokley—who may | | weil be proud of hts part in tho matter—the voice of the | multitude was like the sound of a mighty ract. It struck the heart of the people like hghtuing, Here was the visible proof of the glorious truth that Americans were asgenibled to celebrate and renew—that “ail men are created equal.” Cheer upon cheer arose and the people demanded with clamors that it should catch at toast a glimpse of the sacred charter of our {ree dom, The yellow parchment, darkened with age, signed with illustrious names written by hands jong since dust, but inspired by souls immortal, glittered once again in the bright sun. It was rewritten then, reconse- crated, and the nation pledges itself again to the truths it proclaimed. I was reminded, and the alluston is not irreverent, of Moses when he came down from the flery heights of Sina, and held out tothe kneeling children of heaven the stony tables on which were carven the commandments of God, It may bo that Mayor Stokley is not much liko Moses. but the Declara- tion of Independence is, next to the Commanuments, | the law of tho American people. THE MILITARY PARADE, Fora city like Philadelphia, not particalarly noted for extensive military pageants, the display was very fine to-day, although our Quakor City brethren had to draw land, South Carolina, Vermont, Michigan and other States to complete the display. There were between 9,000 and 10,000 military in line, and the parade was about one hour and a balf in passing a given point, The streets through which the parade passed were densely crowded with spectators, who stood their ground manfully, considering that the mercury wag away up among the nineties and the sun bad full swing through an unclouded atmosphere. The military formed at half-past seven A. M. on Broad street, the right resting on Chestnut sircet, deploying south- wardly, and marchea over the following route:—Down Chestovat to Fourth, down Fourth to Penn, up Penn to Broad and up Broad to Chestnut again, where Gover- nor Hartranit reviewed the line as it passed that point just before dismissal. In front of Independence Hall a platform was erected, and from it the parade was reviewed by Major Gener: Sherman, acting for the President of the United who stood in the centre, and on bis left was of Sweden; on his right was Hon, J. Don ¢ ary of War, and around him were a number Spanish officers. There was also on the stand Cap- in Ulmer, Lieutenant Bonsivitz, Lieutenant Keker- | man and’ Paymaster Asbrenk, of the Swedish corvette. Baldéer; Captain Ankargrona and Lieu- tenant Passe, of the Swedish corvetie Norr- hopheny, both of which vessels are now 15 at this port; Mr. John Fernie, of England; General Sago, Japan; Governor Lippitt, ‘ot Rhode Isiand, and stafl; Colonel Lippitt and Surgeon-General Budlong, Governor Connor, of Maine, and full staff; Cotunel Richards, General Cilley, General Tilden, Colonel Small, Colonet Husey, Colonel Heath, Colonel Burbank, and ‘Colouel Spaulding: Mr. Jobn Wanamaker; Joseph L.

As the troops | passed General Sherman explained to Prince Oscar the | umes of the arms, the evolutions and such other | matters connected with the iwilitary as made ita pleasant duty for the distinguished foreigner to enduro | the powerful rays of a Juiy sun. AN AMUSING INCIDENT occurred that brought a sarcastic smile to the counten- ance of those who witnessed i, As General Bankson | blocks, throwing the rider to the ground. Two aids in the rear, not noticing the accident, jailed to rein up their steeas, who gave a start and landed thetr riders also 6n tho ground, General Sherthan turned to Prince Oscar with a smile and remarked:—*Theso ure only General Bankson and his aids, all unconscious of the invidious remark which had been made, quickly regained their horses, and the column suffered no delay. Notwithstanding the intense heat, there was no fatal case of sunstroke or prostration among the military, | although quite a number were wvercome and had to leave the ranks.
