Dor of New York, carried the shore end mp to

A PHILADELPHIA JUBILEE.

From the NJ Y. Tribune.
From Philadelphia come rumors of a
mighty uproar wherewith is to be celebrated
the one hundredth anniversary of American
Independence. The festival is still seven
years distant, but Philadelphia is a slow city,
and means to have a MagnifGent affair, and
so perhaps the time allowed for preparation
is none too much. This is all very well in
the abstract and we do devoutly trust that
the 4th of July, 1876, will be celebrated with
aH possible heartiness in every part of the
United States 1t is proper too, that Phila-
aelphia, which witnessed the birth of the
american nation, should also be the central
point of the festivities which are to illustrate
It's centennial anniver=ary But we protest
against absurd limitations of the Bos-
to6 Jubilee. The two gentlemen,
Muckle who announce themselves as
the PRIMARY committee, and in letter to
General Grant ask his blessing upon the en-
terprise, we are"pained to say are not so we'll
known in New York as some other people,
and, for aught we can say, may be demition
nobodies, representing only their ambitious
selves; but Philadelphia papers accept them
without question, and so we take for granted
their official character and their local fame.
1t is their purpose to have a colossal coliseum
on Fairmount Park, and musical festival
lasting an entire week. The great shed on
the Black Bay dwindles to the puny dimen-
sions of dog-house in comparison with this
stupendous Philadelphia structure, which is
to hold 100, 900 people, and be filed with the
music of 1000 performers.
This, in our opinion, is pushing the jubilee
enthusiasm to the point of ridicule. If the
success of the Boston experiment is to involve
us in a round of musical monstrosities, each
successive one bigger than any which went
before it, we shall soon come to regard Mr.. p
S. Gilmore as an enemy of the human race.
Are we to have perpetual growth of chorus,
a constant aggregation of anvils, the march
ing of interminable fremen, and Hail Colum-
bia getting louder and louder every year
The Quaker City projectors emulate the magi-
clans disciple, who learned how to make a
broomstick fetch pals of water, but could not
stop it, and was drowned in consequence.
Boston went a little too far in the multiplica-
tion of harmonies, and where her enterprise
was imperfect was precisely where it was big
gest A monster celebration of the American
centennial is of course highly proper. We
should like, for instance, to hear the Declara-
ton of Independence read in front of lnde-
pendence Hall by all the members of Con-
gress simultaneously But we protest against
exaggerated musical festivals You can't en-
hance the grandeur of a picture by painting
it with a whitewash brush.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE FRANCO-AME-
RICAN TELEGRAPH CABLE.

FROM the NJ Y. Herald
1t Is matter of national congratulation
that the landing of the Franco-American cable
mas at last been permitted by the Government
at Washington. The grant, however, seems
not to have been free-wil offering by the
power elected by the people to guard their
rights and expand their commercial and po-
htlcal interests, but to have been wrung from
lhat power by an overwhelming popular
voice, enunciated and developed by the ex-
preSsions OF the public press. Besides, we
SNOW ifom Washington correspondent that
me attempts to hamper the movements of the
tranco-American Company in their efforts to
land their cable on American shores were con-
celyed IN the spirit of a well-known Washing
ton lobby operation, which cannot but be re-
garded as only little less than criminal. We
refer to the fishing up of an old act, presented
TO and rejected by former session of Con
gress, and which was palmed upon the Secre-
|aIy Oh state as the most recent action of the
heVlonal legislature, and upon which he based

put their faces sternly against the working
of dishonest lobby upon such honest imbe
cility as has been displayed in the recen
action of the heads of more than one of tn
departments of the Government on thi

THE INDIANS.
Fronn The N. Y. Times.

From the N. Y. Times.
If the Indians are not satisfied with us now,
they are but scurvy and surly set; they will
prove themselves base ingrates-and, for our
selves, there is nothing we resent more In
men than ingratitude. Here we are now,
offering the redskins, with the greatest i'm
partiality the olive-branch and the rifle, and
leaving them to take their choice. In one
hand, we say. we carry the calumet or pipe
of peace. in the other the breech-loader; nay,
we do better, for while our Colyers in one
quarter are teaching the Indians, our Carrs
and Corses in another are ''whopping them
And it seems to MS that this accords with the
legend told by the medals which we have
been in the habit of Distributing it appears,
to friendly savages One of them bears, for
example, ''the hatchet and calumet crossed
which is expressive of the double diplomacy
we sometimes have in Indian affairs An
other shows zone Indian scalping another,
and, by contrast, IAN Indian at the plough;
Just as now some of our Pawnee allies take
Sioux scalps, while, hardly, our Quaker allies
instruct in the agricultural art
Seriously speaking however, this apparent
contradiction in our Indian policy is an inevi-
between the friendly and the hostile Indians,
and to ply them both at the same time with
such arguments as are needed. Hence we
see the spectacle of news coming the same
day from the Indian country of peace mis-
sions and war trails. That we have been
thus far kept from a general Indian war Is
encouraging, and indeed everything looks
very well for the future.

The certainty of Gearys defeat for re-elec-

or,nlation of what a bungling and burglari-
.,is ftoino he is. In o radicalism of which
yo,noron is the moral, Kelley the sapient,
and Forney the refined exponent, the nomi-
Zoo for the highest Office Of the Common
,yoolib could not well be other than the per-
soy' in whose solitary self are rolled all the
nortomnorarv characteristics OF these three

There follows more of the same palpable
literary thieving Robbery would be the bet
Ter term, because it is larceny accompanied
with violence Geary not only stole Gardner's
sentiments, but he put just such Geary twist
on them as beclouded them with his dreary
sense without destroying the identity of the
passage. The Pennsylvania doubles the
compliment to the Deity in place of the single
tribute of the Massachusetts Executive.
-'Gracious Being" becomes ''the all-wise and
benefcent Being" But this multiplication of
adjectives was clearly meant to propitiate the
power whose eighth commandment Geary was
at the moment breaking. Yet worse remains
behind. Governor Gardner's Yankees were
permitted to assemble" Entrusted with
''grave responsibilities. Geary's territorial
tramp he must needs convene" charged"
with the same ''grave responsibilities.
And so on are stolen nouns buttered with
superhuous qualifers in the hope Of forcing
down the loaf before the theft is found out.
Gardner discovers that principles are en-
during" Geary declares that principles and
justice" (Which is no principle with Geary)
"'are eternal"
Justice probably is eternal. It has been
twelve years. however, coming round to catch
Geary, as witness to-days exposure of this
sorry plagiarism AS for principles, which
he also dubs with immortality, we leave this
exhibition of the sort he had in Kansas in 81

sylVanians Of 80.
