NEIGHBoRING TOWNS.
The Centennial celebration begun in this city on
Monday was continued throughout the night. Inc
services at UniOn-square did not conclude until z
o'clock Tuesday morning, and the vast crowd Oh
nearly 40 900 persons which concentrated there on
the previous evening did not dispeIse before the
early dawn yesterday. The cars and cabs were
loaded down with human freight as late as O'clock
and the ferries on the North and East Rivers were
crowded at 2 in the morning as they usually are
each afternoon at 9 o'clock. The later railway
trains to the suburban cities carried immense num-
beers up to / O'clock yesterday morning
The demonstrations OF enjoyment and patriotism
were renewed with apparently new energy at day
break OH Tuesday, Independence Day proper. They
were of different character, however, from the DIS
play of Monday consisting chiefly Of noisy demon
strators out of doors end music and oratory within
At sunrise the forts in the bay, the battery at the
Navy Yard aud tho nen-Of-war in the harbor joined
in a nationaLsalute during which the American flag
was hoisted at the Battery. Trinity chimes were
Iuug shortly afterward. There were few social
celebrations at the up town parks, and sham battle
was fought at Lion Park, but there was no public
celebration in the nature of procession At the
Academy of Music Tammany Hall, Irving Hail. and
other minor political halls, programmes OF music and
oratcry interested large numbers; while at various
churches and at Association Hail. semi-rcligious,
semi-patriotc services held. The principal
civic celebration was Mt the Academy OF Music,
where tue Rev DIR. Richard s. StoIrs delivered the
Grafton, and William Cullen Bryants Centennial ode
was sung. The meetings at Tanlmany Hall ana
Irving Hall were very poorly attended, and degen-
Grated into more political gatherings of unlnportant
persons, whose speeches were not worth repeating.
The display Of fireworks in tie evening was the
principal attraction, and drew great crowds to the
central points especially to the City Hall Park.
The extent and brilliancy of the exhibitions of fire.
works made by private persons III this an neighbor-
ing c,ies were much greater than in former years.
The celebrations in Brooklyn and jersey City were
not of specially noteworthy character. In fact the
only suburban celebrations this city worthy OF
notice were those at Peesskill, where Henry ward
Beechar delivered an Grafton published in full IN
other columns, and at Morrstown, New-Jersey.

States from the Discovery of the Ameri-
can Continent to the Close of the First
Century of American Independence. By
James ID. McCabe, Author of "A Manual
of General History, - 1.-The Great Repub-
lie" Etc, Etc.
1t is a we'll known fact that the great
mass of our people are compelled to
rely, for their knowledge of the history
of their country, upon the outline
works intended for the use of schools,
which by their very nature are brief,
designed for the comprehension of
children, and in every way unsuited to
the adult mind. There has long been
felt genuine want of a History of the
United States, covering the whole pc
riod from the discovery of the Cont
nent to the present day, and presenting
in succinct and comprehensive form
the history of our country through its
various periods, from a higher and
more Thoughtful standpoint than would
be proper in IA school history. This
demand we are happy to say is salts
factorily met in The Centennial His
tory of the United States" work
which is evidently destined to take
rank as the Standard History of our
country. The author, James ID. Me-
Cabe, is an able and we'll known histor-
ical writer.
We most heartily commend this
work to our readers. 1t is no dry mass
of details, no bombastic effort 10 in-
fame the national pride, but is clear,
vivid, and brilliant narrative of the
events of our history, from the discov-
cry of the American Continent to the
present day. 1t gives most interest
ing account of the Indians of North
America, from the time of the coming
of the white men. The voyages of
Columbus, the explorations of the diff
ferent nations of Europe, and the
wanderings of the Spaniards in search
of gold and immortal youth, are told
with graphic power. The story of the
Revolution is related with all the in
terest Of romance; then follows a
clear and succinct account of the for
nation Of the Federal Constitution,
the Second War with England, the |
Mexican War, and the events of our
history up to the commencement of
the Civil War. The History of the |
Civil War is related with intense vigor, |
and with strict fidelity to truth. The
author writes throughout with calm
ness and impartiality, and pleads the
cause of no section or party. The
book contains an Appendix, giving an
account of the approaching Interna-
tional Centennial Exhibition.
1t is comprised in one large and |
handsome volume, of 925 pages, and |
contains 442 fine engravings on steel
and wood. The book is issued by
the National Publishing Co., of st.
Louis, whose imprint is guarantee of
the excellence of the workmanship.
The price is low considering the char
acter of the work, and each subscriber
is presented with handsome litho-
graphic engraving OF the Centennial
Exhibition Buildings and Grounds.
1t is sold by subscription only, and
the publishers want agents in every
county.

One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dol.
lars SquandeEed in Manufacturing
Southern SsOutrages,s,
washington special to chicago rime,

Washington Special to Chicago Times.
III. G. Whitley, cx-chiefof the secret
service, has given his first installment
of examination at the hands of Caul-
fields Committee on Expenditures in
the Department of Justice He gave
his evidence in a very candid way, IN
deed, and if he will only continue his
frankness before the Judiciary Com
mittee in the safe burglary case Boss
Shepherd will at last have to come
down from his defiant position Whit
ley's testimony was, in short, to the
effect that he squandered $l50,000
from 1871 to 1874 in an effort TO raise
a hue and cry about the Ku -Klux in
the Southern States. Ostensibly, this
money was disbursed for the purpose
of apprehending members Of the Ku-
Klux gang. The ex- chief stated that
IN 1871 Attorney General Alderman
issued an order to the disbursing clerk
of the Treasury to give Whitley what
ever sums of money he might call for.
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars were thus drawn. No statement
was ever made, and Whitley was al
lowed to use it as he saw fit. He would
goto New York, give detective several
thousand dollars to purchase stock
of goods and send him down to the
region where high handed murders
were said to take place nightly, and
set up in business, aud by this means
tasten upon the murderers. Some
times, said Whitley, II would hear
from these detectives after they went
South, and sometimes / would not. -
In this manner he was free to admit
thousands of dollars were stolen from
the government, as in many cases he
never heard from the agent from the
day he started in business. Several
times he employed detectives who in
turn would report to him that they
had sub let the job, but whether they
told him the truth or not he never
troubled himself to learn. The only
returns he ever made to the Attorney
General were when he sent three or
four letters to him saying that he had
so many men In this State and so many
In that, but he never rendered any ac-
count of the money expended at all.
The committee, finding him such
good witness, will give him another
hearing before he is turned over to the
judiciary.

THE Bolivar Bulletin is decided in
its Endorsement of Governor Porter.
1t says: Outside, and without con-
sidering the usaees of party, by which
it is conceded that our governor, when
worthy, should hold two terms, and it
would be difficult to find any one who
would fill the Office with more digni-
fed ability and answering faithful
ness than our present governor has
done, we do not pretend that Cover
nor Porter has been able to accom-
plish all that it was desirable should
be accomplished, but we do say that
under the circumstances his admins.
tration is, and deserves to be, ranked
as the equal of any administration
since Tennessee was a State. Open,
manly, decided, honorable-no politi-
cal trickery, no prostitution of the
dignity of the Office, no hesitation, no
duplicity-but a plain, straightfor-
ward, honest, able discharge of the
duties of the office, entities Governor
Porter to the gratitude of the people
OF this State, and to a denomination
by reclamation"
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1876-04-01

A BIG land swindle is being uncoy-
cred, and it is probable that Grant will
have to rise and explain, as his name
is prominently mentioned as one ofthe
swindlers-and if so the guiltiest
among them. But what harm can ex-
posure do him or his party? None /!
because nothing will be brought to
light which the party has not known
for years and has not endorsed when
ever called upon. Exposure will serve
no other purpose, then, than to unite
more closely the most extensive band
of thieves ever organized to disgrace
and impoverish whole people. Still,
We say, press the investigation-prob
the party rottenness to the bottom that
the world may know who are the gull
ty parties-the remnant of public vir-
tue needs vindication by placing it
above suspicion of connivance at the
damning corruption of the Radical ad-
ministration.
