Celebration Of the Eghtie1h Anniversary Of our
National Independence To-day Military Process
ion-Its Observance by the Authorities and the
Civic Societies.

Declaration oil independence was sgneu on Jul.
q, 1776 and day is consequently the eightieth ami
versary OF tim, auspicious event.
There i every reason suppose that the sFourth will
be celebrated IN this city this year with quite much
eclai az usual. The Common Council Committee have
ISSUED yer. formidable programme, will be
elsewhere and city military have been for tme
IN active preparation for the day, and will doubt
pass themselves in the magnifcence Of their turnout
Tho Tann am Society win hold their customary ceebra
tion OF the day. There will be convocaon in tho Wig
wan, where Grafton will be dcivorsd by Horace r.
Ciax an1 10 this the pubic invited free gratis
after whic, there will be private feed Of the Sa
chems ami their invited guests, at which Senator
Toonbs IS expected to be present. We do not hear
that on. know Nothing fellow citizens to make
any demonstration in honor of the day. The equestrian
statue OF Warrington for so long time in the process Of
erection on union square, will be uncovered at S O'Clock
IN the morning aud an appropriate grafton will be deli
yered by Dr. Bethune to commemorate the event 1t will
be from these facts that the Fourth will be duly ho
nored in Gex York.
There IS however, large class of our population who
dread the return OF the glorious FOURTH aud who re-
fuse participate in the festivities, not from lack Of
proper patriotism but because the city to them nui
sance until Is all There is sucha firing cannon,
guns and pistol, in tho street. such constant din and
roar from till dewy eve,' that they prefer either
80 leave the city until is all ovng. else shut them
selves up in their rooms and kce1o cool and as quiet
their viii permit This is alarge class, as ii in
cudes all Oh gentlemen and all the females,
but very OF whom will be in the during
Che day.
To Young New York the Fourth Of July is tremendous
institution it is the day tor which all other days were
made which the accumuations Of coppers and six
pences for months past to be spent On the "Fourth
youngsters begin to literally make noise in the world,
and terrible racket they keep up, surely began last
night in the Park and will be kept up until late tonight
All fireworks will be exploded, and to stran
ger the city vii seem like Sebastopo suffering from a
bombardment.
To true American citizen this is indeed glorious
celebration, and he must be poor specimen OF man
whose hear, thrill at the recollectons that
the day II should not be allowed to pass without
some public acknowledgment Of the blessings we enjoy
under federal constitution, aud expression of
thanks the Gver OF all Good for having guarded
from n,eraa dsscnsons and external danger for the past
eighty years.
il is 10 he ,regretted that to-day many will
be committed ltrt will mar, in measure, the appro-
pirate oscrvsacc OF the day Drunkenness will be rife
In our streets and viii be lot 10 record many pain
