L1BERrY IN BosroN. another column
will be found the indignant statement of
citizen of Boston of an outrageous encroach-
ment on his liberty, made, not by the min
ions and hirelings of the tyrant, George
ILL.,, but by the Boston police. 1t is not
precisely like the outrages and expressions
that led to the battle of Bunker Hill. but it
is, in general terms, of the same nature 1t
seems that citizen of expansive spirit
wished to cover the front of his house with
the bunting of patriotism and the police
warned him that these ''signs" of his glori-
ous sentiment must, under city ordinance,
not protrude more than nine inches from
the wall of his house. From which it would
appear that century of experience has
taught Boston how to restrain herself Nine
inches for patriotism, and the flag of the
Union classed as "sign J"
The New York herald., 1876-07-06

The CENTENNIAL COMMISSION are to have
another struggle with the Sunday question
to-day. They have perhaps, by this time
seen reason to alter their determina-
ton to keep the doors closed on the
Sabbath, and so deprive the poor
artisans and their families of the only
chance of seeing the great fair without the
loss of their pay ns we'll as their expenses.
If there was anything immoral or debasing in
a few thousand people wandering among the
massed products of civilization we might see
some reason in the course of the commits
sion As it is the artisans are thrown
back on the liquor stores and beer saloons
for their amusement, and that is certainly
not more ennobling than walk through the
Grand Hall. If the Commissioners saw that
their grounds were hotbeds of immortality on
week days they might well close them on
Sundays, but those who have witnessed the
orderly throngs at the Exhibition will not
see what harm these people would do there
on the Sabbath.
The New York herald., 1876-07-06

The GRAND Council OF THE AMERICAN
ALLIANCE, representing twenty-nine States
of the Union, and embracing, it is said, the
O. A. o., the Patriotic Order of Americans,
the Order of American Mechanics and many
other similar secret societies, met yes
terday in Philadelphia to discuss pol
itics in connection with religion.
The special despatch to the HERALD,
published elsewhere, gives some of the
particulars respecting this Centennial Con-
vention. 1t would seem that politics and
religion are to receive particular attention
during the Presidential campaign from gen.
tlemen doubtless well qualified to discuss
the one and observe the teachings of the
other Evidently this Convention cannot
assist in electing Grant this time, at least,
although it was generally understood earlier
in the year that such was the object of their
organization.
The New York herald., 1876-07-06
occasions impartial criticism is public

occasions impartial criticism is a public
duty.
The excuse offered for General Crook is
that he was misled by his Indian scouts.
But why did he depend on the Crows alone
Why did he not employ a number of inde-
pendent scouts keeping each in ignorance
of what the others were doing, in order that
he might sift their reports by comparison
Washington, who understood Indian warfare
surprise is the one thing to be guarded
against and that commander who
suffers q surprise is inexcusable. One
of the few occasions on which he
lost his self-control and gave way to
an uncomfortable outburst Of anger was
when the news came to him that General
st. Clair had fallen into an ambuscade in
his expedition against the Mama Indians.
The news was brought to him by special
messenger while he was at dinner with COM
pany. He went out to speak with the mes
lenger, returned to his seat and went through
the dinner with perfect composure and i'm
mediately attended Mrs. Washington's draw
ing room, speaking courteously to every
lady. When the company had gone and
Mrs. Washington had retired, leaving the
President and his Secretary, Mr. Scar,
alone, Washington broke out again and
again in terrible explosions of wrath.
"Yes," he exclaimed, ''here on this very
spot 1 took leave Of him wished him sue
cess and honor. You have your instruc-
tions from the Secretary of War; said l.
L had a strict eye to them and will
add but ono word-Beware of a
surprise You know how the Indians
fight us. I repeat it, Beware Of a
surprise. He went off with that, my last
warning, thrown into his ears. And yet, to
suffer that army to be cut to pieces, hacked,
butchered tomahawked by surprise
the very thing l had guarded him against
o God 0 God! Uhrowing up his hands
and shaking with emotion) hes worse than
o murderer. How can he answer it to his
country? The blood of the slain is upon
him, the curse Of widows and orphans-the
curse of Hcaven!' 1t is clear from this pas
sionate outburst that Washington thought a
commander who permits himself to be sur
prised by Indians is without excuse The
check experienced by General Crook does
not, indeed, compare with the disaster to
General ST. Clairs army, but the fact that a
surprise is not absolutely fatal is but small
extenuation of the fault of being made the
victim of one. If General Crook is to serve
further against the Indians it should be in a
subordinate capacity.
