THE FOURTH OF JULY.

1t will appear by our columns that there
are TO be two celebrations of the 9TH of July
in this vlilage:-onc by the Total Abstin-
cnce Society, and tho other under the an-
spices of the "Young Men Of the County.
without distinction of party" The exer-
cises of both commence at the same hour,
and yet we hope and believe that each will
have a large audience. The friends Of
Temperance have extended an invitation TO
all their brethren in the County, and out of
it, TO participate in celebrating the day at
the Church of the Rev. Mr.. Converse.
The other celebration will be held at Mr..
Ingcrsol's Church, where arrangements are
made which will undoubtedly render the
occasion an interesting one. We bespeak
for both houses crowded attendance.

THE FATE OF Mr.. WEBsrER's LATIN

THE FATE OF Mr. WEBsrER's LATIN
Our readers have noticed in Mr.. Webster's ora.
ton, the happy quotation from Salust :--"Pul-
chrum est beneacere riepublice; etiam bene.
deere baud absurdum est" 1t is somewhat
amusing to see the fate of this quotation in the
various published reports. In the "ofiicial" in
the Courier, the last two words were omitted /;
MIR. Webster, of course not needing them in
his manuscript, had not written the phrase out
at length; and the compositors followed copy.
The U. States Gazette gives it thus, "pu-
chrum est, bene facere, bene deere, bene alb
secundum est" The Journal of commerce on.
ly leaves out ethan. The New York Herald
gives the following :-"Pucrum est, bene face
re-, bcne deere, baud absecumdum est" an ef-
fort of originally aud ingenuity only inferior 10
an exerton of the same print, on occasion of a
former speech of Mr.. VS., when it read "Ad-
sum qui feel, he or me must perish" for the
beautiful line.
"Me me, adsum qui feel, me, in me eonver,,e

In the New York Tribune, the place Of the
quotation is ingeniously supplied thus:"r -

men. So much for the military services Of the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The writer mentioned above, quoting letter
from ono of our Washington correspondents,
says that the New York Express has been for
ced recently to acknowledge his EN- hcnt ability
and success in the following terms:
"Wha,ever differences Of political opinion
may exist 10 relation to Mr.. Spencer, his bust
ness talents command the confidence of the
public, and he seems determined TO carry out
the reforms required in the Treasury Depart
ment."
Without abiding to the fact that the quota
ton from our correspondence does not justify
the inference drawn by the writer, it is sutii-
cient to remark that Mr. Spencer has not as yet
done any thing more than determined to carry
out his reforms. lie has only caused his organs
to herald what he ,ciH do But the public will
not be satisfied with promises. They wish 10
know why the extravagant expenditures IN the
collection OF the revenue are confined. They
will demand, where is the reform in the reduce
ton of the number Of officers in the Revenue
Department,--in the expenses OF the Light
House systen,-ihe Revenue Cutters and the
Revenue Boa,s,-and what reform has taken
place in the Land Offices, as well as in sundry
other matters over which Mr.. Spencer has, or
ought to have, supervision.

MIR. WEBSTER'S SPEECH.

The speech Of Mr.. Webster at Bunker
Hill will be found in our columns to day.
As was 10 be expected, it abundantly sus-
,ains the worldwide reputation of its grea,
author. But as we think, no man of respec-
table talents could well have failed, if pac-
ed precisely in Mr.. Wcbster's situation, to
make good speech. In 1925 at the laying
of the corner stone Of the monument by
Gen. Lafayette, he had been selected to de-
liver the ora,ion-he had then addressed the
numerous survivors of that well fought
field, and their compatriots and brethren in
arms, in strains of frrvid cloquence which
added one Of The brightest roses to the clap-
let of his fame. The work had fingered on
to its final completion. More than half the
life time Of "A generation Of men had passed
and now, again he stands upon that hill
of hallowed eminiscences-again is he the
mouth piece of the assembled thousands who
tl,rong its glorious summit-again he ad-
dresses the remnant of the brave men who

Eighteen years have shed their SHOWS on
the heads Of orator, and patriarch and peo-
pie. From the very prime and vigor of his
days, the speaker, after having reared a
colossal fame, has well nigh reached the be-
ginning of his decline. Thousands now
listen to the language Of his lips who, on the
former occasion were IN infancy or yet UNI
born. Of the little regiment of veterans
whom he addressed at the pious ceremonial
of commencing the sacred pile, scarce a
company remain to hear him celebrate its
completion. The noble apostle of Liberty

whose memory is fated to 90 down to the

Hon. John c. Spencer is the greatest statesman
in the world, but that he was hero during the
last war with Great Britain. That he has been
engaged in battle with somebody during his
whole life, no one who knows his history will
doubt, but these battles have usually been less
for his country than himself,--in other words

PRESIDENT Tyler, was attacked at Bos-
ton with nervous fever, brought on by the
constant excitement through which he had
passed; and this circumstance added to the
death of Mr.. Legarc determined him to re-
turn forthwith to Washington. and abandon
any further jaunt 10 the Nor,hward. This
tour has ended in bad luck all around. On
the part of Tyler it has been series OF
pnIs to his overweening vanity; while with
the people il has been stiff and constrain-
ed attempt to do homage to the func,ionary
in contradis,inction from the man. If John
was capable of seeing this thing as others
see it he would be very sick Of his northern
tour henceforth and forever. lilo has made
no capital either for the Locofoco Conven-
ton, or the election Of 1914. He goes
back to the White House to spend the twen-
iy-one months which remain of his Presiden-
cy, in reading his greatness in the Madiso.

In August Come dog days-but we have
another species at present, which We shall
call horse days. The weather has been
boiling no. with the exception Of day or so
for fortnight, and it seems to have crazed
the nags instead of the canine race. No less
Than two ranapays occurred in one day the
past week, one of which ended in demolish-
ing very handsome buggy" against the
north side Of the Court House, and frigh,en-
ing the horse out of his wits. Why don't
men learn olways TO tie their horses in fly
time, no matter if they have been in the
habit Of standing united for twenty years.
In place like this, no ones life is safe in
the street when horse may come down
upon him with the speed oflghtning, at any
hour oflhe day or night. Those who do moi,
wish TO be the instruments Of destroying

pecialy now, when flies and mosquitoes are

DEATH OE MIR. LEGARE.

administration whose demise would have
occasoned more heartfelt sorrow than that
of Mr.. Attorney General Legare; and we
think we risk nothing in saying that Mr..

whe Their we regard the splendor ofhis abilities,
or the weight Of character which he lent to
the administration.
Few men have enjoyed higher or
nober reputation than HUGn SwrNroN LIE.
CARE. lie has long stood at the head of the
Charleston bar IN South Carolina, and was
thence with the appreciation Of every body,
transferred to the head of his profession in
the Attorney Generalship of the United
States. He was for one term member Of
Congress from the Charleston district and
while at Washington distinguished himself
as an able and pure hearted man. lie was
one of the first scholars in the Union, and
made i. rule Of his life to study eight hours
day, unless public duties forbade.
His connection with the Administration
was not that Of parlizan. bat of an officer
though he was an old personal friend Of
Tyler. He has gone to his rest, at the very
moment when the President had turned ,t
him as the fttcst man to ill the place o
