THURSDAY EvEN'G. JULY 8. 1873
The Fourth.

OF all the days of the year the Fourth Of
July is the one that Virginians should take
the most pride in, as tits more emphatically
their day than that of any other state in the
Union. No other state can put in an
equal claim with her for the glory of its
observance.
If she did not set the ball in motion, she
lighted the brand of revolution, and issued
the immortal Declaration of Indepen-
dence, which was made good by her
heroic spirit and most illustrious general
ship. It is true that twelve other states
acted with her, but the grand historic
record is more distinguishingly and
proudly hers than any of her sister con-
federates in the Revolution. We like
the spirit that would give it grand
observance everywhere, and more
especially in Virginia than in any other
portion of our extended Union. We in
tend to give it observance ourselves, and
afford all connected with The STATE
JOURNAL an opportunity Of engaging
in like patriotic purpose. Accordingly
no paper will be issued from this office to.
morrow, to interfere with the programme
which our force may have mapped out for
the day. With the thermometer at 95
degrees in the shade, and Zephyrus loiter-
ing with Narcissus by the many-wooded
streams, this will be relief to the "cngi.
neer and all hands,"
Whether there will be grand pyrotec.
tine display tomorrow night, made by
the officials of this city or Manchester, W.
are not prepared at this present writing tc
say. But we presume somebody will LEI
off few rockets from ''historic Rich
mend," and that the early night of thu
Fourth will give some exhibition Of the pa
triotism that needs as much cultivation a
vent among our people. The crownin
victory Of Samalis was not the property Q
Themistocles; it shed undying lustre owe
all Greece.

Iessa n. Grant.

The Pittsburgh Chronicle says that Mr..
jesse R. Grant was originally an ardent
Wing, but he turned Democrat and sup
ported General Hamar of the Brown and
Clemet county district. Ohio, for Congress,
the condition being that General Hamar
should get Ulysses, the present President,
into West Point. The condition was full
filed, and Mr.. Grant was Democrat until
the breaking out of the war. This story,
says The Chronicle, we had years ago from
parties entirely familiar with all the facts,
and although it is matter of no impor-
lance it may be mentioned now in connec-
ton with the decease Of the Presidents
father.

FROM late cable dispatches it appears
that Sir Samuel Baker has again been heard
from, and this time he sends dispatches
from Khartoun. announcing the complete
success of his mission into the interior Of
eastern Africa. The road to Zanzibar has
been opened, and is now free from inter.
ruption of any kind, the decisive defeat o.
the African Chief Onioso having effectual-
ly subdued the hostility ofthe native tribes.
Egypt has annexed large portion Of the
country south to the equator. The slav
trade from Muscat and Abyssinla, has
been suppressed, for the present, at least
by the efforts Of Sir Bartle Frere. and other
important objects have been gained. This
will certainly constitute England's latest
triumph, and its results promise to be Of
enduring importance.

The NEW YORK TIMES appears printed
with new type throughout, new engines,
and Walter press, --of which there are
but two or three specimens in the country.
The Times is one of the handsomest papers
now printed, and is reaping the fruits Of
its well-directed enterprise. 1t is strong in
many departments and without rival in
some Of them. The larger newspapers Of
the country are steadily extending their
field of operations, and giving attention to
science. general literature and history, as
well as to the news of the passing hour.
1t is a field in which there are great perils
as well as great opportunities, but it is q
legitimate field for the highest and best
kind of modern journalism.

charles Francis Adams at Harvard

Charles Francis Adams at Harvard.
Mr.. Adams has not been very promi-
nently before the country since his eulogy
on Mr.. Seward, which provoked so much
sharp criticism. His address delivered
before the Phi Beta Kappa society Of Har-
ward College, was an able paper, and con-
tanned the notable feature of strongly
urging the need in this country of political
education and training. He even went so far
as to suggest class Of preliminary studies
especially adapted to the preparation of
young men to take an active part in the
management Of public affairs, and in the
consideration of topics more particularly
connected herewith. He did not urge
these studies with view to turning out
political aspirants for place, but to enlarge
the usefulness of those upon whom politi-
cal duties and responsibilities might rest.
He said:
agree that power and place are vantage and
commanding ground, but would not go further
On the contrary, it has for some time past ap,
the country that of O class of persons bred in
our highest institutions of learning, fitted to be
opponents Of doctrine in the science of govern
ment and of national and international law,
though with very secondary view to the cas-
nal acquisition of place. If not themselves pos
sessing that commanding ground they are at
least in condition to enlighten those who do in
cases where some of them appear to stand In
great need of it. I say then that what is most
wanted is honest, Independent opinion founded
upon extensive study and superior knowledge,
and not likely to be warped by Incidental temp
tatons of this or that brief elevation to public
post or to follow he igafs 1tisus of personal am
biton until it plunges the wanderer irretrieva-
bly, into the morass. Hence high. place may in
deed be desired as means of usefulness ;
but as warning OF its ominous
effect on the possessor, no instance illustrates
should be kept in mind that in considering this
subject put wholly out Of view any association
with the ordinary party politics Of the country
as wholly foreign from the proper neutrality OF
of the study of the science of government in
all its various ramifications, there is not the
smallest occasion to minge with it interest
in the casual struggles of the hour"
Mr.. Adams spoke hopefully Of the in.
huence Of the newspaper press Of the coun.
try, and contrasted its present condition
most favorably with that Of the past, pay.
ing marked tribute to its power and de-
served influence. ''Now'' he said "the
newspapers treat understandingly the
highest questions Of morals and politics
law and government This is yer,
true of many of them, and it would b.
much to the credit OF American Journalism
if it were true of all.
