At Large.
The glorious Fourth seems to have been
celebrated with unusual enthusiasm
throuhout the country. Business was
generally suspended in ell the larger cities,
and the day was almost universally OBJ
served as q holiday. National salutes
we've fired at all military posts, and in
most of.the principal cities there were pro-
cessions, music and orations, fireworks,
etc.
In New York.
In this city the day was not uncom-
fortsbly warm, but the weather was IN
pleasantly threatening. Thousands OF
our citizens escaped from the noise and
confusion into the rural districts, while
their places were filed by swarms from
the country. The parade of militia, the
Tammany celebration and the grand pyr-
otechnic displays at the parks were all
fine. The city was unusually orderly.
The police had but little trouble, and
good nature and hilarity seemed to pre-
vail.
In Washington.
There was anationsl salute but no cele-
bration.
In Richmond
The fourth was celebrated for the first
time since the war bya general suspension
of business and grsDd Pythian tourna-
ments, and other festivities, ending with
fire works. The coloTed people only pa.
raded.
Philadelphia
The day passed off quietly. There was
the usual parade, small fires, and minor
accidents from firearms. A platform in
Penn Square broke down, slightly injur,
ing eight or ten people.
In Baltimore
The day was almost universally observed.
! Thousands left the city on excursions &c
various places, and the city was illumi
mated, with general display of fireworks
in the evening.
At Buffalo
A heavy rain storm set in early in the
morning and continued throughout the
day, preventing the outdoor celebration.
The regatta was postponed until Thurs
day. The Mckee Boat Club of Pitts.
burg, and the Tonning Boat Club OF
Toronto, and the Peerless of Rochester,
agreed to wait over to take part in the
| contest.
At Cape May.
In consequence of a dense fog off Cape
May yesterday, the regatta was postponed
until to-day, much to the disappointment
Of several thousand Philsdelphians, who
had gone dOsn to the Bay in all kinds OF
crafts to witness the contest.
Hoffman and EIdridgG
Have no New Departure TO make
New York, July 5.-The Fourth OF
July at Tammany Hall was celebrated il
the usual manner. Both the floor of the
great hall and the spacious gallery were
crowded to its utmost capacity with a
Democratic throng, that in general ap-
pearance would have done credit to any
aristocratic gathering. A slight sprink-
| ling of ladies was noticed throughout the
assemblage, and now and then represen-
tatives of the newly enfranchised ele-
ment. Dir. Tweed first addressed the
| audience.
Letters from large number of Eromi-
nent Democrats were read, among which
was one from Gov. Hoffman, in which
| he did not indorse the new departure.
One from Gen. Mcclellan, approving the
departure, and one from Charles Eldridge,
member of Congress, from Wisconsin,
who says it is of small consequence what
amendments Ore made, how they are
made or enforced while the Constitution
in the very body itself, its genius and
spirit are ignored and discarded.
AT ChicagO-Inaugura OF a Big
Hole i'm the Ground.
CHICAGO, July 5.-There was no formal
celebration of our national anniversary in
this city yesterday, but the private cele-
brations on family and individual account
could be counted by the thousands. The
| formal opening of the Lasalle Street tun-
mel was public event Of much interest
to our city, but this, of course, was only
in cidental to the day. The contract for
this tunnel, which it should be understood,
passes under Chicago River from the
North to the Sonth divisions of the city,
and was awarded October 20, 1869, The
work on it was commenced on Novem-
Der Sd following. 1t was done July LIST,
1871. The total length Of this tunnel is

merous fires took place during the day,
