THE CELEBRATION.

The Fourth was celebrated at three
points in this county, viz: Worthin9-
ton, Bigelow and Graham Lakes. At
Worthington the exercises were about
as follows: Parade of masqueraders at
o'clock in the morning; procession of
Grand Army, Bucket Company and cit
liens at 10o clock, headed by the Worth
ington Cornet Band Grafton and mu-
sic at the pavilion on Court House
square. After dinner, there were vari-
Gus amusements, such as base ball, foot
and sack races, &C., &c.
Tie exercises from ten o'clock until
dinner were all that any one could
ask and were an honor to the commun.
ity. Some of the other exercises were
not authorized by the Executive Com
mittee or the Committee on Program
me.
The exercises at the pavilion gave
great satisfaction to the several hun
drcd persons present. Tie pavilion
was cool. the music, led by Prof. Bag
ley WAS appropriate, and the Grafton of
Hon. J. \. Leonard, is very generally
spoken Of as Il happy one, showing that
the DIR. is an,advanced man, and a Wig
or"us thinker. Prof. Hum;ston, = as
President of the Day and Chairman of
the Executive Committee, took occa-
sion to explain that the programme as
published in the colored posters was
not authorized. since exercises were
announced in which the whole cOmmun-
ity could not conscientiously engage
No one wished for moment to interfere
with private judgement or with the
lasts of any portion of the community.
The Object ion WAS to committing tile
,rh"lc community to exercises in which
the whole people could not engage and
to which many are conscientiously op-
posed.
In the evening, Union Social, at
tended by one hundred or more per-
sons, was held at Miller Hall. The ex-
ercises consisted of music, promena.
ding, and harmless games by the chill
dren.

ing funds for families in Southwestern
Mimi, who have lost their crops by
grasshoppers. We understand that he
presents good testimonials from men,

leading citizens of Mobiles County. We

thorlzed to solicit donations for this
county, and we have no doubt he is an

Mr.. Hoyt sent a barrel of grasshop-

luxury, but down about st. Paul they

honey and subsisted on them in the
wilderness.

Mr.. JOHN o. EvANs was the principal
witness examined yesterday by the District
Investigating Committee. He produced
his books and papers. and in his clear,
Straightforward testimony conclusively
showed the utter lack of foundation for the
charges of conspiracy, ETC.. which have
been alleged against the District govern
ment The counsel for the memorialists
abandoned him In sheer disgust. The bot
tom is almost out of the entire thing.
Thornton Smith told what he does not
know about pavements. Smith has been
one Of the most bitter of the malcontents.
An estimate of his honesty may be formed
from his own testimony. Yesterday he
swore that he laid q pavement for the gov
enment which cost him only 500, but
for which he charged and was paid nearly
$500 He also swore that he was very
anxious to obtain contracts from the Board
of Public Works, but failed-which &C.
counts for the milk in his cocoa nut.

2. L. WHITE AS A BEARER OF
FALSE WITNESS.


z. L. White. the correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, who rivals A. II. Glib
son, of the New York Sun, in his malignity
and bitterness toward the District govern
ment. telegraphed as follows to his journal
Monday night last:
These admissions and reflsals to answer,
upon the part of Mr.. Kilbourn and Mr..
Latta, taken in connection with the hints
thrown out by some of the local newspaper
organs of the ring. form very strong chain of
circumstantial evidence that the rumor long
current in Washington that great number
of members of Congress were conspirators
with the Board of Public Works, Is true.
The members of Congress, It has ben re-
ported, were let into this real estate pool,
which it was expected, and It has turned
out, would realize large sums of money by
the advances caused by the improvements
to be made by the board in this particular
section of the city, and in return were
to see to it that the. Board got larger
appropriations from Congress. If such
an understanding was had, It has worked
well, for Mr.. Kilbourn testified today
that when he bought for the pool he
paid only from twenty to forty or forty five
cents per square foot, while the land d now
worth from 81 to e1.50 per foot that the
members of Congress carried out their part
of the bargain 10 proved by the enormous
appropriations made during the last session
OF Congress and the assurance with which
the board went on in defiance of law, a.
well as in excess Of appropriations, created

UNITED STATES CONSOLa

In THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN of yes
terday was printed the text of o bill intro
daced into the House of Representatives
by General Negley, which is designed to
consolidate the entire funded debt of the
United States in q uniform bond bearing
three sixty five one hundredths per cent.
interest In order to create a market for
these bonds and give them start the bill
proposes to receive them on deposit at the
/: United States Treasury from the national
banks as security for the circulating notes
Of such banks 1t is also provided that all
such banks now existing may, Immediately
upon the preparation and issue of these
bonds, be entitled to an increase of twenty
five per cent of their present circulation,
upon the basis of these low-rate bonds.
This we regard as the only Objectionable
feature of the bill, and this chiefly because
-itprovides for the twenty five per centum
oftaddiiion to the circulating medium ante
cedent TO the date named in subsequent
section for the redemption of the legal
tenders of the government in coin. In
nearly all other respects the provisions of
General Negley's bill are quite similar to
those of the bill introduced by Hon. Free
man Clarke, which have been printed and
favorsbly commented upon in this journal.
!. But Il not this vital objectionf viii
mot the proposed increase 50 enhance the
price Of gold as to interfere with its accumu-
lstion In such quantities as to justify the
Government in promising redemptionf 1t
was deemed most admirable feature of
Mr.. Clarke's bill that it required redemp-
ton and initiation to 60 together, 80 that all
increase of the circulating medium should
carry with it the corresponding increase of
liability to redeem in specie paying note
legal tender redeemable in coin.
Ifmodiied in this respect it would ap-
pear to be . most desirable bill, and one
which should afford the utmost satisfaction
to all parties. The convertible character of
the bonds would afford abundant elasticity
to the currency to assist In the movement
Of the crops or to tide over any sudden
emergency in monetary affairs.
