THE FOURTH OF JULY IN WASH.
..' lNGTON.

The GLORIOUS Fourth" was enjoyed by the
residents Of this District in manner that
illustrates quite forcibly the Jeifersonian
axiom that all men are born free and equal.
Everybody was as good as anbody else, and,
In some cases, little better. Our colored
citizens formed the largest agglomeraton on
the occasion. Their professions out.num.
bered and out-shone all other shows that day.
Most Of our people betook themselves to the
river and the woods, and were actually en-,
joying more real independence" than is
usually accorded to citizens on the Fourth Of
July. There were no great civic or military
professions in which one felt bound to Join,
although he knew his life would be imper.
illed. Every man, woman, and child did
what seemed good to them, and the result
was the most quiet Independence Day in the
capt. al on record.

running steamer G. Vanderbilt, Cant. CoRsvnyy

and passenger line from Washington to Ricbmond

fastest Of her class. The company was large, yet
the boat was not and a. We rushed along
at the rate Of nearly twenty milss an hour with
strong. refreshing wind blowing from the southeast,
everybody on board enjoyed the sail immensely,
The principal manager Of the affair was G. M. Ron

he acquitted himself admirably In the performance
of his duties. Hs was ably assisted by another
gentleman. whose name ws did not learn.

THE PORTLAND FIRE.

The terrible fire In Portland, Maine, which
has swept away the homes of fifteen hundred
families, desolating nearly whole city, must
naturally awaken the benevolence of all who
have dollars to spare, all over the land. We
presume that any contributions that our we'll.
to-do citizens may be disposed to make will be
taken in charge by Mayor wALLAou and for.
warded with the utmost promptitude.

FORNEYp CUsTOM.HOUsE LET.

The Cincinnati Commercial is mistaken in
asserting that "THs President permitted
the publication Of private letter written by
Foxxxr on the I'd Of January" Such de-
claration is simply echoing FoRsEY's own
statement, which he knew at the time to be
lie. r-. .. i..a
We have already stated that the letter
was unfortunately from the pen Of public
Officer Of the Government, asking for the
appointment of one of the most important
Offices in the gift Of The PRESIDENT. It was
placed on file in the Executive Department,
and was subject to perusal, IL demanded, by
any citizen Of the Republic.
1t was publicly asserted in the Cincinnati
Commercial that such "begging letter !"
existed. FoRSEY denied It, challenged its
production, and appealed to The President
to say whether any such letter existed
Under the circumstances it was deemed
highly proper that the letter should be pub
lished, and its contemplate author exposed
thereby. This is all there is about the mat
ter. In view Of all the facts the Commercial
is the last paper in the country that should
have been caught in FoRsEY's trap. He is
anxious that the country may be led to be-
heve that 1t was private letter."
The opinions Of the press on the custom
house letter, which appear elsewhere today
are exceedingly rich.
