Indeed, the noise of the Chinese cracker has enabled many city people to understand a great point in Celestial strategy. It has been at times a principle apparently well recog- nized in Chinese war that the army which made the most noise should be regarded as victorious, and that theory’ was once tried on some British troops who did not under- stand it and went in and whipped the enemy in defiance of fair play. Absurd as the Chinese doctrine of war may seem we could apparently tind in our dainty city people some armies that could be whipped in that way. Insurance, however, is mere finance and is inexorable.

For apparently tled the Fourth of July of the fathers has been made every year for many years before, How is it especially that a generation which has seen half a million men made tood for powder, directly or indirectly, should be disturbed by the harmless squib.

Toe Weatner.—The area of low barometer that was over the districts west of the Mississippi River on Wednesday moved rapidly in a north- easterly direction, and now overlies the lake regions and Canada. The pressure within it has decreased considerably, aud there are indi cations that a centre of disturbance will be developed over the lower lake regions and the St. Lawrence Valley dv the next twenty- four hours. The barom is highest over the South Atiantic States and is whove the mean in the Gulf districts. Rain fell throughout the lake regions and on the Gulf coast. The weather in the other districts was generally fair, except in the New England States, where cloud: increased toward the afternoon and Jight showers fell. The winds have been brisk in the central valleys and the lake re- gions, fresh on the Atlantic coast and it the Northwest and generally light elsewhere.

The area of high barometer that extends over the Atlantic coast south of Maryland is likely to foree the depression that is moving over the lakes to take a northerly course, so that our district will not be affected very much during its passage.

To-morrow | | Already we have gome far in our abusive | by which a people abuses its freedom and but it amounted to little, because it could not hold its own against a deep rooted pop- ular fervor that seemed to regard patriotism and noise as one and inseparable. But a generation that has shown itself so deter- mined in the defence of freedom as the present one could afford to put its foot on some old fashioned tancies of that sort. In the presence of the graves that were dec- orated in May people may venture to ex- | press their contempt for demonstrations of love of country that are only noisy. But if the duy has:lost its dignity as the festival of the Chinese firecracker fiend and the free incendiary it certainly has noc lost honor as the festival of the inde- pendence of the American people. We doubt if even the worst specimen of a sore- headed Confederate, the most out and out of the type of men “who won’t be recon- structed and who don't care a damn,” would go so far in his hatred of our demo- cratic system as to wish that we might all be restored to the stagnant condition of a British colony—the whole surface of com- mercial, financial, industrial and social life overgrown, a$ they are in such colonies, with the green seum of a vitality without energetic development or legitimate direction. With any other than sore-headed fellows who were open enemies but yester- day our independence is the one great reality in the world of political facts, and the last thought that can ever cross the mind of any man in a vital nation is to con- sent to see the independence of his country perish, This is so profounda sentiment with every people in every age that it will be found upon a study of tyrannies and military usurpations that these tools of an evil destiny are, in the larger number of cases, not of the breed of the suppressed The Bonapartes, as foreign adven- who set up thrones at the expense of the | freedom of the nation, for whose greatest glory they have not the passionate regard that is felt by the meanest of its own sons, Only foreigners are as a rule without which inspire men to preter the victory of a sustained national purpose to the most splendid rewards of personal ambition. But there does arise from time to time in the history of nations a man of a stolid type, without the common enthusiasm of his countrymen and more selfish than hu- manity generally, who readily persuades himself, as perhaps Cromwell did, that his personal supremacy is for the time the oniy guarantee of the treedom he pretends to love, Such a man may arise in our history, asin the history of othyy countries, and that possibility involves™ apparently the only future danger to the independence of the American people. How any danger to our independence irom the dominion of a foreign Power can ever arise is not now conceivable, and independence in that sense—independence from the control or domination of a toreign State, wherever situ. ated—may be regarded asa@ fact that can only fail if preceded by some cataclysm that should change the geographical rela- tion of continents, Secession cannot break us down, tor it will always be a minority that will desire to #beede, and the majority will control it with force; and’ neither | Mexico nor Canada can ever become dangerous neighbors, Climate and the breed of men are all in our favor. : But that process of political liquidation extends it to such extremes as to make lib- erty the enemy of all other thifgs that are desirable in eivilized countries is all be- fore us—rather it is not all before us, dealings 3 with this oats treasure. We have made steps that may prove mischievous, Our enfranchisement of an enormous popu- | lation of slaves avd our extension of the suffrage to men who knew no more how to guard it or use it than so many mules are facts calculated to test terribly any political institutions whatever. We do not say that these steps may not yet be worked | out toa safe solution ; but if to the millions of negro voters, ignorant and animal, we add the capacity for blundering of the vast constituencies of white voters who mistake the claims of their chosen demagognes for political wisdom and who hand over to their representatives the mandate for such | legislation on finances, on labor and on other economical problems as we have had | in recent years, then that war between all conservative elements and the mere multi- tude in which liberty perishes may not be so remote as every good American hopes it is. The Present State of the Silver Question. The action of the Finance Committee of the Senate, of which Mr, Bayard is chair- man, in postponing until the December session both the Warner bill and the Trade Dollar bill, gives a breathing spell which we trust Secretary Evarts will turn to good account, There are symptems of great and rapid changes in European opinion on the question of mono-metalism. The idea of excluding silver from monetary uses is already as good as abandoned, and there are grounds for believing that most of the great commercial nations may be brought to act in concert in re- storing silver to the position which it held from the earliest dawn of civilization” down to a recent period. If silver can be restored with the general concurrence of the trading nations ‘of the world it is pru- dent for our government to wait and unite in an effort to fix a common ratio of value between the two metals. The silver advo- cates in Congress are so impatient and im- petuous that it behooves the Secretary of State to make the most of the interval be- tween the adjournment of the extra session and reassembling of Congress next winter. It is to be hoped that Secretary Evarts will collect and digest information on this subject which will enable the Pres- ident to make instructive suggestions in his next annual Message, and the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to present a com- prehensive exposition of the silver question in his annual report. Instead of snubbing and denouncing the silver men it will be wiser to admit the necessity of restoring silver to its monetary functions and point out to them the methods by which it can be best accomplished, It is necessary to convince them that the co-operation of other nations is the most important factor in restoring and imparting stability to bi- metalism. We are convinced that such co-operation is practicable, though not, perhaps, in the precise form which our Western silver champions would prefer. ‘the two European nations which have most fully committed themselves to mono- metalism are beginning to waver. We, of course, refer to England and to Germany. ‘The subject has recently been discussed in the Imperial Parliaments of both nations— in the British Parliament on the question of Indian finance, and in the German Reichstag on the question of further sales of silver. In the British de- bate no voice was raised against continuing the silver standard in India, although the present depreciation of silver causes great losses to British mer- chants in the rates of exchange. Mr. Goschen, the highest authority on questions of this kind, argued that the depression of silver is temporary, that it has reached its lowest point and that that metal will probably recover its former value. The silver inundation from Germany has ceased; the American mines prove less productive than was expected; the enormous capacity of India to absorb silver shows no signs of diminution. The causes of depression hav- ing ceased to operate Mr. Goschen expects a rise in the price of silver bullion. In ac- cordance with his views, which nobody undertook to dispute, it was decided to make nochange for the present in the coin- age laws for India. Silver is, therefore, to be the legal standard of value in the most populous section of the British Empire. In Germany there is a reaction in finan. cial circles aguinst the oostly experiment of substituting gold for silver. The expres- sions in this sease were deemed by Lord Odo Russell, the British Minister, impor- tant enough to be -nade the subject of a special communication to his government. The pride of the German government will prevent an acknowledgment of its mistake by ao re-establishment of the doubie standard; but the sale of silver has been suspended, and it is expected that there will be an enlargement of the limit to which silver is a legal tender, Had Germany foreseen the results of its ex- periment it would not have ventured to try it. There is an evident reaction through- oat the world in favor of silver, and its price is likely to be considerably enhanced within the next three years. lt would be wise for all governments to proceed with caution in their coinage legislation until the violent oscillations in silver have been arrested and it it recovers a stable je equilibrium. a © ueasian. Although Kearney will be sure to hear of it and howl, and the silver-tongued orator of Massachusetts may find in the sffair an incentive to rhetorical flourish, that fight between white men and Chinese in a North Adams shoe factory cannot be ranked among international affairs. Similar pro- vocation and language would have led to similar results, if the original quarrellers had both been either white or yellow. Men are fighting in shops every day, over one trifling matter or another, merely because they are insolent, unreasonable or bad tempered, and né differencé of color, shape of eyes or cut of hair is necessary to a lively, vicious row, ‘The Chinese nat- utally banded together in defence of their companion, as any other unpopular class would have done, but finally listoned to reason and resumed work, which is more than many white men would have done uns labor under the country scahmesins for all participants in the affair would set both sides to sympathizing with each other. Is It to Canossat The resignation of Dr. Falk, the German Minister of ‘Kultur”—that is, of Worship and Public Instruction—proves conclusively that the long standing difficulties between the German government and the Vatican | are about to be settled amicably and satisfactorily. By a recent despatch we are informed that a special convention has been | signed between the German government and the Vatican, by which the former is to nominate bishops subject to the approval of the Pope, and the’bishops are to nominate priests subject to the approval of the Vati- can. Such» convention shows that Prince Bismarck and Pope Leo XIII. are men of ex- cellent sense, and that both have given way in order to end the so-called “Kultur- kampf” and to bring about good will. Prince Bismarck once said that ‘only oxen are so stupid as never to change their views.” Bismarck has changed his repeat- edly, and he is none the worse for it. Herr Lasker, describing the Chancellor recently, said of him very truly, ‘He is not one of those small politicians who think it a duty to adhere to a mistake.” But in the convention with the Vatican he has by no means given up the position he took at the outset of the ‘‘Kultur-kampf,” and, if the report of that convention be correct, then he has virtually obtained the great part of what he wanted, If he has the selection of the bishops, subject to the approval of the Pope, he has indirectly the selection of the priests, and thereby the in- direct control of a large religio-political field. This is not, however, a pilgrimage on Prince: Bismarck’s part to Canossa. There was no necessity that Pope Leo XIIL should demand this. In fact, His Holiness is too astute and far-seeing a statesman, too thoughtfal of the welfare of the Catholic Church in Germany, to demand imp ssibil- ities. The resignation of Dr. Falk is an acknowledgment on the part of Prince Bis- marck of a past error, and in this spirit the resignation will be accepted at the Vatican. An Instalment of Justice. Mr. James'H, Tully, a uniformed guar- dian of the peace attached to the Fifth pre- cinct, which is fast winning a reputation for police ruffianism equal to that of the notorious Twenty-ninth, was yesterday transterred to the Penitentiary for three months by order of the Court of Special Sessions. Justices Kilbreth, Morgan and Fiammer formed the court. The offence of -which Mr. Tully was accused was that of assaulting with a deadly weapon a rounds- man who caught him drinking at a saloon at two o’clock in the morning, The roundsman’s head was spiit open, his arm was broken, and he received injuries which, if he had not been a strong man, would probably have proved fatal. Fora felonious assault of this description an ordinary laboring man or any person with- out money in his pocket or a police uniform on his back would have been sentenced to State Prison for a term of years. Never- theless, the mild rebuke administered by the Court to Mr. Tully will be hailed with satisfaction as an evidence that the official wielders of the murderous club are not to be allowed to escape with entire impunity or to be covered with praise on all occa- sions. When Mr, Tully comes out of the Penitentiary he ought to be immediately promoted to the Twenty-ninth precinct by the admiring Police Commissioners. A Word of Caution. The railroad trains, the regular steamers and the excursion boats will no doubt be crowded to-day with passengers, who will escape from the heat of the city by every available avenue. There is likely to be an unprecedented rush for the seashore, the green ficldsand the shady spots on the river, for few persons who can afford to get out of town will fail to avail themselves of the general holiday to enjoy a few hours in the cool, fresh air of the country, As peo- ple are apt to be venturesome when bent on pleasure excursions, and especially when hurrying to get on or off trains or boats, a few words of caution may not be amiss. They are sadly pointed by the ter- rible calamity that occurred yesterday on the Erie Railway. Mrs, Larue, a mar- ried lady, twenty-two years of age, who had been but five weeks married, and her sis- ter, Miss Lizzie Clark, a girl of twelve, had intended to get offa train at Turner's, but passed the station without leaving the cars. Discovering the mistake immediately after the train was in motion they hurried to the platform and jumped off, without considering the speed at which they were moving. Mrs, Larue was instantly killed and Miss Clark seriously and probably fa- tally injured. Thus a thoughtless act in a moment brought death to at least one es- timable lady and terrible grief and suffer- ing to many hearts. Nothing is more hazardous than haste and rashness in getting on or off trains and boats. There is always time enough for all, and yet every one desires to be first, and seems to dread being left behind or carried on. But caution on the part of the passengers is not afl that is required to prevent accidents, Ample time ought to be afforded at every station and stopping place, and there ought especially to be no overcrowding of exoursion boats. Steamboat racing should be unheard of, and as the law punishes euch trials of speed, at the risk of hundreds of lives, any person who is put in jeopardy by the practice ought to turn informer and earn portion of the penalty imposed for the offence. With ordinary care and prudence a million passengers may be carried in safety as well as a hundred, and it is to be hoped that the pleasure travel out of New York to-day will not be attended by asingle accident to mar its enjoyment. Market Leases. Corporation Counsel Whitney informs the Sinking Fund Commissioners how and on what conditions the public markets may be leased to private individuals. There is ho doubt about the authority of the Com- missioners either to sell or lease such prop- erty, but the sale or leasing must be at pub- 1879.—WITH SU PPLEMEN 7. | the highest bidder. It would not be in ac- cordance with the law to grant e lease of a market to the stand holders or any other parties until the lease had been advertised forsale and bids for the same had been | invited. Neither would it be iu the power of the Commissioners to permit the erec- tion of stores on the property for the sale of general merchandise. If the lease of a market is sold by the city it must bind the lessees to maintain a public market for ten years, and no other use can be legally made of the property within that period. If it should be thought ad- visable to lease Fulton Market it would of course be within the authority of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to re- quire as one of the conditions of the lease the erection of o new building costing not less than a specified amount. This would give the stand holders who are anxious to secure the lease a good chance of success- fully competing for it, But it is certain that no lease can be legally granted and no sale made without such a public com- petition as the law requires. Irish Legislation. Lord Cairns’ Irish University bill has no friends. Irish members in the House of Commons are indignant over it and call it an “insult tothe country;” but another ex. treme of opinion in Ireland goes further, since the Orangemen have turned ont and indulged in a demonstration expressive of their disgust atthe bill; all of which is just what any rational creature might naturally expect. If ‘a government goes about to please all parties in Ireland it will certainly please none, as the Gladstone government learned to its cost. An English government which fully complied with Catholic demands would have the Orangemen and the English pub- lic to settle with; a government that acted on Orange programmes would have to fight the Catholics, while a government that gives less than either demands and more than each would allow to the other must fight both at once. Lord Cairns is an Irishman himself and a good deal better judge of what is good for the country than any of the people who criticise his bill; so it will perhaps be carried as a government measure, despite the opposition of the hostile Irish elements, Dr. Hull's Property. Dr. Hull made inquiry at the Coroners’ office yesterday as to what had become of the property “‘which had been taken from the house'No. 140 West Forty-second street after the murder of Mrs, Hull,” and also as to the disposition made of the recovered jewelry. He was referred to Coroner Wolt- man and Captain Williams. Thé jewelry stolen by Cox is said to be in the hands of Captain Williams, and is held for pro- duction on the trial. This is readily understood, the stolen articles being a necessaty part of the evidence against the murderer. But why should the police have carried off anything from Dr, Hull's house after the discovery of the murder? It is stated that the property taken by the police consists of ‘articles of clothing and medicines.” For what purpose were they carried away? Was it a part of the great “inside theory” case of the official block- heads to examine clothing belonging to persons in the house and to analyze Dr. Hull’s medicines? Was it necessary to carry any property at all out of the house, and if so what has become of it? In the old times it was not uncommon for firemen to be found coming out of a burning build- ing with two or three new suits of clothes on their backs. Is it the modern practice of the police to carry of property from a house in which a crime has been commit- ted? Asa matter of curiosity the people would like to know just what Dr. Hull’s in- quiry at the Coroners’ office means, and just what property disappeared from his house during the pursuit, not of Mrs, Hull's murderer, but of the ‘inside theory” con- cocted by official stupidity. A Sad Calamity, Another heartrending calamity occurred in Harlem yesterday, by which a bright, intelligent little girl twelve years of age was taken suddenly from life almost in the presence of her parents, It appears that the ground on 110th street, between Fourth and Lexington avenues, has been excavated in preparation for the erection of a row of houses. Through the grossest carelessness, for which some one ought to be held responsible, the dirt taken out of the excavation after having been heaped ap to a height of twelve tect was dug away at the bottom tor removal, in- stead of being taken from the top, and the pile was thus left overhanging. The poor child and a young six-year-old companion were playing under this dangerous roof, when it fell, burying the elder girl in 9 living grave. The younger one escaped | being wholly dragged out by her screams; but great that fora time she forgot to say that covered up, and was persons attracted by the other girl, Lillie Keese, was under the | fallen earth, The parents of Lillie had as- | sisted in the rescue and were distracted to learn the fate of their own child. ‘he dirt was removed as speedily as possible, but death had come before the body was re- covered, The story is a very sad one, and the carelessness to whieh the acgident is attributable cannot be too sevorely de- nounced, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, ‘Weston has not been madé a LL.

FIERCE FIGHT IN A MASSACHUSETTS SHOR FAG= TORY BETWEEN YANKEES AND CELESTIALS— RENEWAL OF THE OLD CRISPIN BITTERNESS, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. } Norra ADAMS, Mass., July 3, 1879, Ever since their introduction in this country a cheap laborers the Chinamen have been looked upon with contempt and disgust by the native American workmen, and this feeling is to-day none the less strong in this town, where upward of forty Chinese are employed in the C. T. Sampson shoe manufac- tory. The first of their iutroduction into this town five years ago was through the efforts of Cale vin T.
