READING, July I, 1869.
This city, beautiful for situation, the gem of
the old Keystone State, is all alive at present.
The fires of patriotism arc all aglow, and on the
morning of the 9TH of July, at 6 o'clock, they
will be developed in grand jubilee, to be held
on Market Square. All the vocal music societies,
the principal church choirs, and the bands of
the city, have volunteered their services for the
occasion. There will be not less than u thou
sand voices in the choruses, while the orchestral
accompaniment will be tremendous.
The following will be the order of exercises
Joseph L. stichter ESQ, will preside in the
jubilee.
Prayer will be offered by Rev. T. A. Fernley,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Hon. j. Lawrence Getz, member of Congress
from this district, will read the Declaration of
Independence
Luther's Battle Hymn, Elm Fester Burg ist
Unser Gott,n will be sung as n grand chorus.
The closing piece will be 'With one consent
let all the earth, with doxology, Praise God
from whom all blessings now." The whole occa-
sion will be time never to be forgotten.
The two oldest Methodist Episcopal churches
of this city, Ebenezer and st. Peters, are being
put through a course of improvements which
will make them among the handsomest church

have a new and elegant front, with a large
recess in the rear, which will be devoted to the
organ and choir.
The crops around this city and all through
Lebanon Valley weee never more promising.
Haymaking is advancing rapidly The grass is
very heavy, and should the weather prove
favorable hay will be abundant, and all other
things in proportion. Fruit of all kinds is most
promising. Cherries and other early fruits are
already drug in the market.
large camp-meeting for Harrisburg district,
Philadelphia Conference of the NJ. E. Church,
will be held on the Goth inst. at Lebanon, 2S
miles west of this city.
The woods selected are about one mile from
therailroad and are spendidly adapted to the
purpose. No prettier spot can be found. The
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, with its we'll
knwn liberality and disposition always to
oblge the public, has made arrangements with
tn, committee to furnish excursion tickets at
10, rates from your city and all other promi-
net points on the main road and all its branches.
esterday morning the conductor of stone
trsn, by the name of RhOads, residing at Potts
ton, while attending to his duties on his train,
pasing through this city, fell in fit, and fifteen
ca passed over him, horribly manging his
boy. He was an excellent man, thirty-fye
yers of age, and leaves wife and five small
chdren to mourn their irreparable loss. Truly
in le midst of life we are in death. +.

The Committee on Resolutions, through its
chairman, William V. McGrath, Esq, presented
the folowing:-
ResolUed, That upon the actual issues of the
day the best guide will be found in the prln-
ciples upon which our Government is founded,
as declared by the fathers of the republic.
ReSOtCed, That the rights of the States in the
Union and under the Constitution have always
been and should always be maintained by the
Democracy of Philadelphia.
ResOlCed, That in our own case the right is
now threatened by the attempt to regulate suf-
frage in Pennsylvania, and give the ballot to the
negro by the Federal power
ReSOlCed, That we denounce this attempt as
contrary alike to the Constitution of the United
States, the Constitution of Pennsylvania, and
even the pledges of the radical party made prior
to the late general election.
ReSOIUed, That the issue between q free gov
ernment of the United States and that consolida-
ton which is but another name for imperial
despotism is now clearly made before the people;
that the Democracy of Philadelphia pronounces
for that free government under which the native
citizen was born, and which the naturalized
citizen by choice adopted.
ReSolCed, That the Democrats of Philadelphia
pledge themselves to the rctrenchment of ex-
penses in the management of public affairs, and,
so far as in them lies, the reform of every abuse
that can give occasion for complaint.
ReSOLCed, That the candidates presented by
this convention are entitled to the confidence OF
the community, and we hereby pledge our
earnest efforts for their success.
They were unanimously adopted.
The convention then adjourned sine die, with
cheers for the candidates,

EoreiQu Affairs.

oNDoN, July 1.-The Lord Mayor gave ban
ct to the Ministers last night, at the Mansion
Ouse. Mr.. Gladstone made a speech, in which he
tiuded TO the Irish Church bill, and said the gov
Fnment had bestowed its best endeavOrs in the
Enduct of the measure, which formed vital and
Sential portion of its work for the peace of Ire
nd and the security of the empire. Since the bill
assed the House of Commons there had been great
4 ctement, rumors of reaction and threatenings of
speedy doom. During this excitement he and
colleagues had remained in a state of great
anquillity for they felt that the review of their
ork was not matter to arouse their jealousy, but
as rather a matter calculated to create satisfac-
Hon. Although great care had been bestowed on
le bill, no doubt it still had many faults. He con-
luded; 'We shall be grateful for every improve
ent, and all changes shall be respectfully consid-
red, subject to the position in which we stand, to
,ords spoken and pledges given, and to the COM
Mission we have received. We rendered the terms

The East River Bridge.

Relative to the proposed bridge over the East
river, to connect New York and Brooklyn, Hon.
Demas Barnes recently said:-
They say, "Who win ever climb 1870 feet to cross
it 2" My deer sirs. who has asked you to do it :?
Have you ever crossed Fulton ferry +? Do you know
the grade you now make on either side to get from
the ferry To go from Sands street, Brooklyn, to
Broadway New York, by boat, we now descend 6S
feet, and then ascend 40 feet, total grade OF los
feet To get from and to the same point by BRIDGE
we will ascend 90 feet and descend 80 feet, total
grade of 1852 feet only A feet more than we now
do twice day, and hardly notice it, If the effect OF
this bridge will add two per cent. extra to the natu
raj increase of our wealth from this time forward
it will be $1,000 600 in 1870 and 1885, 600 600 in $780,
an average OF Sl7,500,000 new wealth per year for
thirty years, which at three per cent will bring us
a tax income OF S12700,000, or $426,000 per annum
The interest $4,000 600 of bridge debt at per
cent. will be s426,OOO All paid for us. Not very
expensive luxury, certainly. If 1t is said the in
crease will not commence Immediately, reply that
think you wrong; but if it does not, neither is
the whole debt to be at once contracted. Can we
afford to drive from our doors the wealth OF an em-
pire, because, perchance, we may have to pay few
extra dollars some year

Cuba

The telegram from Washington announces
that the British authorities Of the West In
dies have intercepted q large amount OF
arms and ammunition destined for the ere
bells" in Cuba. Our own Government is co.
operating with the British, or the British
with ours, in this Gripping of the "rebel-
lion in Cuba. We have no admiration Tor
the .'rebels" there. There is n room for
admiration. The fighting on both sides has
been contemplate.
Nevertheless. we think that this co0pe.
ration Of Great Britain and the United
States 1--WE, In addition to stoppingaI things
for the rebels, releasing the Spanish gun
boats) is quite suggestive. Does it not
prompt to the inquiry, Are we advancing
the true interests Of the United States? Is
England the warm supporter Of our true
interests?
This Cuban subject needs ycntilating and
overhauling by our ablest statesmen-we
wish they We're ADLER. Great events hang
upon it. We repeat u oft-eXpressed
opinion-an opinion entertained without
the least hostility to Spain-that this oun
try ought to have and must have Cuba, fora
hundred reasons; and that man whose force
Of character and energy carries out this
policy to consummation will be the popu-
lar man of this nation.
Spain is too far declined in national force
10 hold and properly govern the island OF
Cuba. 1t must pass from her hands. 1t
will be free or must be possessed by some
other Power. This country cannot afford
TO permit it to be free, or possessed by any
other Government. In either case it must
ever be q sore upon the side of this Union
source of everlasting anxiety and disturb
ance-and this Government should end the
question by decided diplomacy. We have
not one Of the islands of that group which
lies so near u shores, and which may be-
come the Judgment for hostile purposes
and movements that may in time give us
great trouble. 1t is q war necessity that
dictates the propriety Of our having a foot
hold there. Spain has been unable to pre-
serve order in Cuba, and the next largest
island Of the family is not only degenerating
into savageism, but is n prey to incessant
civil wars. 1t is demanded of this great
nation that she should assume the police of
these islands for her own peace as well as
the dignity and order Of that hemisphere of
which she is the ruling power. And she
cannot we'll perform this Office and protect
herself withou ut owning ONE one OF more
OF the most important of them.
