FOURTH OF JULY.-It will be noticed perhaps
in the programme for Fourth of July hereto
fore published, nothing has been said about a
trial of steam fire engines ON that day. We
understand that such trial will take place at
4 p. m. for silver trumpet the particulars of
which will be arranged by committee from
the Engineers and Committee on Fire Depart
ment The military companies from Norway,
Auburn and Augusta, will be present, and it
is expected also that arrangements can be made
tomorrow to bring the Bangor, Belfast aod
Bucksport companies. The Portland & Ken
nebec Railroad Company decline to conven-
ience the Skowhegan company, so that it is not
probable they will be present. What is to be
desired now is that the appropriation of the
$1,000, asked for in order that the sailing regat-
ia may come off, AID several other interesting
features. We trust that the City Government
will not be penny wise and pound foolish" in
this matter. Better have complete eelebra-
tion in all its appointments than to be trying
to make dwarf's coat fit a gisnt.

WASHINGTON.

NEW YORK, June PA Washington special
says that Mr.. Nye, from the select committee
to investigate the charges preferred by Messrs.
Davis and Hatch against General Babcock,
made report to the Senate this morning. The
committee state that while Gen. Babcock has
been guilty of some indiscretion, there is moth
ing in the evidence to show that he was in any
way guilty OF any attempt to keep Hatch in
prison. A minority report, which was signed
by Messrs. Ferry, Schurz and Vickers, GEN.
sures the conduct of Gen. Babcock and charges
that ne connived with certain parties in San
Domingo to keep Hatch in Jail fer some rur-
pose best known to themselves. They recon-
mend that the $50O0O damages set forth in the
petition of Mr.. Hatch against the Dominion
government be collected by the United States
INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
The internal revenue receipts to-day were
$S11 $50, and the total foi the fiscal year $780,

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
The Conference Committee on the currency
bill were in session to-day but arrived at no
conclusion. 1t is probable that additional fa-
cilites will be given to the banks South and
ishing forty-fve millions of their present certi-
fcates and transferring TWENTY-FIVE millions
from eastern banks. There will be no actual
expansion of the currency, only SO far as may
result from the authorization of gold banks.
POSTAGE TO THE NORTHWEST.
WASHINGTON, Jure 26.-Letter postage to
Vancouver's island and British Columbia will

THE HOMESTEAD AND GRADUATION LAWS.
ST. LOUIS, June ga number of United
States land officers from various districts in
the State are now in consultation in this city
regarding the recent construction of the home
stead and graduation law by the General Land
Office at Washington, by which it is ordained
that all parties making entries under the grad
uation law since the Sd Of March, 1867, shall
be Ousted unless they make proof of settlement
and cultivation, or pay the difference in price
within sixty days of the date of the notice.
There are one million acres of land in this
State which have been entered at 12 1-2 cents
per acre, and parties making such entries have
failed to comply with the law, and it is the in
tention Of the government to throw all the
lands so forfeited by noncompliance with the
law into the market, as much of it is claimed
by non residents, to the serious hindrance of
the settlement and development of the State.

stand or fall upon their own merits. This is as
it should be, We presume to think. But we
have good authority for assuring would-be can
didates that the examinations intended will
not be at all frightlul the object Of the commit
tee being to discover, not the highest order of
mere scholarship but that reasonable familiar

that ready and available common sense,
without which all teaching is worse than inef-
fective. We are more than ever disposed to
think we'll of the intent and endeavor of our
