The Big Democratic Indian means to have
az good time as usual on the coming Fourth
of July. 1t is the opinion of the Grand Sachem,
Mr. Augustus Schell and of the Lesser Sa-
chems, that the Republic at the present time
is CTOaning under q grievOus uSurpation, and
has been forced to submit to what Mr. Schell,
with tears dropping into his ink, writes down
ga fraudulently created National Admnistra-
ton" On tn Fourth of July he, with his
associates, however, propose TO have q good
time, by "shOwlh,: contempt for the men who
" have stolen the chief executive Offices of the
"natOn." Mr.. Schell states in his address
that he has been much "humiliated" by the
turn Which public affairs have taken-"a hu-
"miliaton which can never be forgotten or
forgiven" He proposes therefore. TO revive
on the Fourth IF July "thc memories which
d" give Significance to the day" And very
good tnTe we hope he will have in doing it,
With the highest degree of personal respect,
we beg permission TO suggest TO Mr.. Schell
that however beautifully written, his address
is n little incOngruous. He talks feeingly about
the Fourth Of July and its memorcs but if he
really believes what he says SO glibly, doesn't
he see that, following the example of our gal
liant forefGthers, he and those who are of his
mind should be in arms and marching toward
Washington TO dethrGne the usuIperi Mr.
Schell professes to think that he is at present
living under the rule of n usurper but we
do rot believe that he thinks anything of the
kind. Ii he did, would ho patiently permit bis
rights and liberties to be tIampled under foot
Would he not rather sound the trumpet and
beat tho drum and organize an army Of lib
elty and DO all manner Of patriotic things 7
Instead Of this, slave as be considers himself
to he, downtrodden, oppressed, cheated, swim
died by "a fIaudulently created Admiaistra-
tion,r Mr.. Schell can still be happy, Of all days
in the year, upon the Fourth of July!
Great Is talk, and especially great is the talk
Of Tammsnyl All these fine things have very
little reference to the coming Fourth of July !;
their pertinency in Mr.. Schells mind is to
the next Presidential election II this extra
ordinary Democrat had half the reverence for
the Fourth of july which he Processes 20 have,
if hc cared in the least for the perpetuity of
republican institutions, if he loved law and
order as he says he does, would he try TO turn

TIE PRESIDENT IN NEW-ENGLAND.

THENIOEII
There is something significant III the hearty
and hospitable way in which the people OF
New England, and especially of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island, have welcomed the Presl-
dent. in Boston especially his reception has
paTtaken of the character of an OvatIonj ana
this fact is for several reasons a notable one,
and CONVEYS a lesson of decency and good
manners to all Democrats who need it. For
Boston can hardly be considered rs Repnb-
lican city. Its present Mayor is Democrat
Its present City Council is substantially OF
that cOmDlcXiOn. Suffolk County, which Is
mainly Boston, gave Gov. Tildcn consider
able majority Moreover, from Democratic
sources, in different parts OF the country,
hints were sent to Boston in advance that
All excellent opportunity would Inc presented
of intmating to the President prbhc
opinion adverse to the constitutional right by
which he holds his Office. Mr.. Adams, who
is a distinguished if not popular Bosto-
nian, had ostentatiously put upon record
his personal rcsentments and private senti-
ments and there was time when they would
not have been altogether disregarded IN his
own bone. Ii is TO the credit OF Massachusetts,
Democrats that they have not been betrayed
by their love of party into any act of gross
and absurd inciyiity. In Mr.. Hayes they have
rcco gnzed the lawfully chosen President OF
the United States while they have been far
from finding in his personal demcanor any
thing calculated TO diminish the warmth of
his formal and official reception. The Demo
Gratis OF the Bay State have often upheld the
responsibility of their party when it has been
seriously threatened in other quarters of the
Republic and they have more than once Sc
ceded in great numbers from the national body
to which they belong. They did this especially
in 1913. when, with some assistance from
boItng Whigs, they gave Mr.. Van Buren, a
plurality over Cass of nearly 5000 votes.
Upon the whole, not only in Massachusetts
but everywhere else, the kindness, the cour-
tesy, the marks of personal respect with which
the President has been greeted, are sufficient
answer TO the ill-Lstured comments which have
| been made upon lis acceptance of Office II
may be said that these honOrs are paid not
to the man but to his place. But it would
really have been an astonishing way of show
ing respect to the place, thus TO have dis
tinglishcd man who had dishonesty OBJ
tanned it. The tour of the President has shown
! that the people are thoroughly satisfied with
| the settlement of difficult question. No
where has he encountered the smallest token
of disrespcct; and he ought TO return to
! Washington encouraged and strengthened fol
the difficult duties which are still before him.

disappointed. In food and wool the increase
of imports amounted to f3,534.0OO for the
month. while the total increase of all imports
was Only f5,243, 900. But the increase in an
other respect was not of character to canse
Improvement in business. The general de-
iiciency of the sugar crop had caused marked
advance of price in the producing countries,
and Great Britain, though importing $4,000
cwts less sugar in May, 1877, than in May
1876, paid f53O,OOO more for the raw sugar
imported.
Meanwhile, though paying more for articles
imported and losing largely by unexpected fan

CAUSES OF COMMERCIAL DEPRFSsIOM
Excess of hope or fear as to the future OF
American commerce may be corrected, IN some
measure, by comparison with British returns
These show that influences which have affected
the commerce Of this country have generally
affected in like manner the commerce OF Great
Britain, and thus effectively dispose Of theories
which attribute depression III business here
mainly to expectation of resumption, cOntrac-
tion of currency, or other local causes. I'm
ouestionably distrust of American corporate
management has done much to de-
press te value of securities and thus
to bring embarrassment or ruin upon
individuals, firms, banks, OF other corpora
tions which depended largely upon such
securities. The severity of local taxation, re-
sulting in part from the extravaganza OF local
government and in part from the increase OF
municipal Indebtedness, has also been an im-
portaAt cause of disaster. But the fact re-
mains that the depression of business is mainly
due TO causes which operate in other countries.
1t was recently mentioned with surprise by an
intelligent visitor that he found less evidence
of distress or disaster in the United states
than he had seen in Germany, and the returns
of commerce show that the precise causes
which have peculiarly disturbed American
trade and industry, since the outbreak OF war
in Europe, have been not less potent in Great
Britain.
Chief among these was the speculative move
mont i'll breadstufs and other articles of food.
A sharp advance of 80 per cent occurred in
April, but before the end Of May large part
of that advance had been lost. Enormous
quantities of grain and other produce had been
purchased or shipped al speculative rates
The unexpected decline brought as is not un-
usual, greater loss than the gain which had
resulted from the previous advance, and,
moreover, the loss fell chiefly upon the COM
mercial class. England imported f1, $4,000
in yaGe of wheat from Russia, Germany, Tur-
key and France during May, 1877, against
only G417,000 M value during the same
month in 1876; and the unexpected supply
from those countries not only caused disaster
To European Spectators, but broke down the
market upon which American shippers had
relied. The aggregate imports Of wheat were
G3, ,2S5, 600, against G1,797000 during May
Of last yeaT--a gain of Glass, ,0O0-and the
aggregate imports Of articles of food were
G8,5SO.GO0, against fG,317,000 in May,
1861 gain of -, ,263, goo. The disastrous
fall of price was "a necessary consequence.
A similar mistake i'll speculation appears to
have beer made by the dealers in wool. The
British imports rose from 92.24S.0O0 in May,
1876, TO G3,519,000 in May 1877, and yet
only e774.OO0 was exported during the month,
against Il, ,645, 600 in May, 1876. There was
also q marked decrease in wooden goods ex-
uoTted nmountjpg to about f125,OOO. Evil

There will be two opinions IS to the reason
ahleness of Judge Freedman's action III tining
for contempt Of court the members OF jury
who handed in an incomplete sealed verdict
The Judge is certainly right in insisting that
iuries shall do their whole duty, but, on the
other hand the verdict reads like an honest
attempt to comply with the instructions of the
court, and the sickness of one of the jurors
doubtless made them anxious to disperse
Certainly the jurors in ,heir statements to
the Judge yesterday, had the appearance OF
men who had intended no disrespect to the
court, and there will be many to think that,
if Judge Freedman could not modify the rep
nmand which he bad already written, he
might have spared the jurors the fines, which,
though not heavy, may be tax upon some of
them. Perhaps the most striking thing about
the whole affair, however, is the inherent a5-
surdity of intrusting complicated case to the
decision of twelve men who could not or
would not understand The instructions of the
Judge for the framing of the verdict.

BY marching souihward from the st. George
mouth of the Danube, the Russians are ac-
Gnirng full control of the DObddja, the Turks
retiring rapidly before them. The evacuation
of Cernavoda will enable the Cars forces
to achieve this conquest much carrier than
they might nave expected. 1t now only
remains for them to obtain control
of the Cc1navoda-K -Kustendie railroad to
acquire great strategioal adyan-
tage. Holding that line, the army would
menace the whole of the Turkish position at
Silistra in flank, besides depriving the Turks
OF an important highway for the conveyance
of military supplies. The Russians would also
threaten the railway from Valna to Rustehuk,
which is used to supply both that fortress and
Silistria with ammunition and provisions.
The Turks are judiciously keeping their forces
within the quadrilatera but that strategy VIII
no longer avail when the invaders advance
into Western Bulgaria.
