4 SING UTNARY NUISANCE.

One riot, six brutal affrays, thirty-five fires,
forty children seriously wounded, at least
three persons killed outright, and one child
burned to death, form the total of the casual
ties consequent on the celebration of the
Fourth in this city and Brooklyn. And as
these are only the casualties which were
thought serious enough to be reported at Po-
lice HEADQUARTERS, doubtless the full extent of
loss and suffering can never be known. 1t
NAV be safely set down that the above
enumeration does not exaggerate the horrors
of the "glorious day we celebrate" in such
senseless fashion.
This, be it remembered is the black list for
only two cities of the country. Judging from
the fact that in Allegheny City. Pennsylvania,
alone, one hundred houses fell q sacrifice to
the Small Boy and the fre-cracker, it is not i'm
probable that the casualties for the rest of the
cities equal in ratio those of the Metropolis.
The statistics for the nation, if they could be
collected, would doubtless be curious, and GER
tainly they would prove alarming.
All these painful facts might be used as a
serious argument for the abolition of the
absurd manner in which we celebrate Inde-
pendence Day if we were people accustomed
u
But we have no time to do anything but
repair damages; such a thing as foreseeing
and preventing casualties appears unworthy
of consideration. We go on from year to year
celebrating the most important event and the
most sacred day in our history in the same
senseless and idle manner that the Chinese
welcome their New Year and the English
execrate a paltry cOnspiratOr, and those who
disapprove it are happy to escape the dreadful
din by flying from the city, when less efforts,
if united, would secure the abolition of the
whole nuisance. 1t is only necessary to have q
wise police regulation rgidly enforced pro-
hbiting the firing of pistols and popping of
fireworks, and the refusal of the Common
Council to make appropriations for pyrotechnic
displays, to secure immunity from the nuisance
and danger. The prohibition of all such dis
plays would of itself soon bring them into
disrepute. Suppose the city authorities charge
their memories with this matter for year and
make an effort in this direction before the
Centennial is upon us. The prospect of man
slaughter, mayhem and arson which threatens
us on that occasion already assumes the pro-
nortions of national disaster.
New-York tribune., 1874-07-06

to bo that as usual, he has said the wrong
thing at the wrong time, and raised another
obstacle to his restoration. The MacMahon
government evidently intends to leave no
doubt as to its notions in regard to the
monarchical propaganda. 1t has suspended
the paper which published the manifesto, and
boldly announced through Minister Fourtou that
it was for that reason. The monarchical fac
tions were amazed and scandalized at this
ayowal, but we cannot see that they had any
right to be- 1t is true that any paper which
had possession of so valuable bit of news
would have deserved to be suspended for fall
ing to print it, but the gentlemen of the Right
could hardly be expected to take this view OF
the case. They were charmed when Marshal
MacMahon suppressed Republican journals,
and only object to such proceedings when
turned against themselves. The only slgnlii-
canoe of the act is that it shows the intention
of MacMahon to force the Monarchists as well
as the Republicans to respect the Septennate,
and gives unequivocal notice to the universe
that he is President for the next six years and
a half The Bourbonist5 take serious umbrage
at the announcement, and M. Lebrun has given
notice of an Interpolation which will be dis
cussed tomorrow. 1t remains to be seen,
however, whether all this windy disturbance
is to grind the grist of the Republic or the
Emnire

BETWEKN TWO STOOLS.

Mr.. Dawes, having declared his purpose of
retiring to private life at the end of his pres
ent term, is just now the subject Of numerous
rotices of q more or less distinctly funerea
character in the Eastern newspapers. Although
he receives great deal Of faint compliment
we do not observe that his disappearance
from the public service is contemplated in
any quarter with dismay OF even tears. The
politicians are too busy disposing Of his
cast-off shoes to waste time in regrets over
his retirement; and the people at large only
nod their heads and say, "Well, Dawes was
"a pretty respectable man as men GOV and
pass on the other sde
1t is great pity. Mr. Dawes has done the
country no little service in his time, and a
State which gave Butler and ,Oakes Ames to
the House of Representatives and Richardson

eighteen years in Congress with considerable
complaceDcy He did mot escape wholly un-

From the above examination 1t appears that
the law is farce. except in its application 10
the banks of the City of NewYork, and to
country banks having larger deposits than
circulation For the latter, having no longer
the privilege of keeping any portion OF their
reserves on deposit with other banks, the re-
serve requirements may mean something serl-
ous. We have not thought it worth while to
say ANYTHING about the intention OF the
trainers of the new law. When an indefinite
number of dogs get into fight there ls'
properly speaking, no intention whatever IN
the act. Each dog snnh5ses that he knows
what he is about, but the various dogs are
moved by various purposes. There Is yelp-
ing, and swapping. a raising of dust, and
loosenIng of fur. The same thing happens
when Congress takes action on finance bill.
The goddess Minerva instantly withdraws to
great distance, if peIchance she be within
hearing. The amendments to the National
Bank Act must be interpreted, if possible, by
the ordinary meaning of the words used. 1t
is idle to inquire what the intention was,
since reason had no share in the business.

The Long Island Yacht Clubs have this sea-
son fairly established the popularity of the
Z" Corinthian races" by which is meant races
between yachts sailed by their owners and
manned solely by amateur sailors. Within a
few years past yacht racing has suffered from
the fact that the vessels were sailed by hired
masters of experience and crews of the best
seamen. The general adoption of the new
system will revive popular interest and add
to our list of genuine athletic sports.

The bridge over the Mississippi at st. Louis
was formally opened on Saturday with inn
posing ceremonies and demonstrations. 1t has
become, in the opinion of river men. quite too
common an enterprise to bridge the great river,

compare with this superb monument of energy

the examining physician that when he deserted his
wife, some years before. he had been tricked for
it, From the time when the March winds began to
blow, until December, he felt " something begin at
his feet and up to his head and then start back
and run to his feet again." He didn't say that lie
suffered much from this but it rather trouble
some" and cut him off from most of the pleasures Of

The predictions published in THE TRIBUNE
as to the length of the tail of COggia's comet,
its increase of brilliancy and its apparent po-
siton in the heavens have thus far been very
fully confirmed. Even to the unassisted eye,
the length of the tail is evidently in excess of
the measure suggested-the space between the
Pointers On Wednesday next the comet will
make its nearest approach to the sun. 1t GER
tainly is offering a fair field for the study of
astronomers, and it is to be hoped that
the opportunity for studying its light
with the spectrOseope will be fully
embraced. 1t is unfortunate that many of our
leading astronomers are now at distance, on
their way to the stations for observing the
transit of Venus. Prof. Young of Dartmouth
College, who is just preparing to depart to
China, telegraphs that in the brief interval
before leaving he will not be able to give o
detailed statement respecting the spectrum of
the comet, but that its most noteworthy diff
ference from the spectra of other comets Is in
a strong tendency TO become continuous. We
presume this statement applies to the head of
the comet, ard may be probably regarded as
indicating the incandescence of matter not
wholly gaseous.
