An Interesting Centennial Celebra.
tion.
Tomorrow the people of Saratoga county
will crown their centennial celebrations
with the commemoration at Schuylerville of
army. There is to be grand military dis
play the addresses will be delivered by
Governor Seymour and others whose ora
tions will alone be of sufficient attraction to
draw together a large number of people,
and the ceremonies at the laying of the
foundation of the monument that is to cele-
brate the event will be conducted by the
Masonic fraternity. There will, of course,
be numerous attendance, and, with fine
weather, the enjoyment Of the multitude
will no doubt be as unbounded as their
patriotism.
The surrender Of Burgoyne is an event
which merits becoming celebration, for
the advantages to the patriot cause at
home and abroad of the great victory to
which the splendid leadership and per-
sonal daring Of Arnold and Morgan SO
greatly contributed cannot be over-esti-
mated. AS the nfSJ Dattle at StlllWater
rendered inevitable the final surrender
at Old Saratoga, SO the laying down
of the British arms at old Fort Hardy
insured the eventual triumph of the
republican cause. The monument which
is to commemorate the great event is to
be erected on high ground in the village
of Schuylerville, and will be visible for
miles around. Certainly no more interesting
memorial of the Revolutionary war will
greet the eye on any OF the old battle fields
than that which tells of the humiliation of
the proud Englishman whose mission it
was to break the backbone of the rebellion
and to bring the disloyal colony Of New
York back to it's allegiance to the British
King

irritating, for the first formal act of the
Chamber after organization will be vote of
want of confidence in the Ministry. That
will present squarely to the Executive the
issue between him and the Chamber, and
will pose the alternative of accepting q re-
publican Ministry or defying the nation.
1t will be difficult, in view of what has
passed, for the Marshal to accept republi-
can Ministry. That will be to use sonnet
tre'-a thing which he has declared before
hand he will not do. But. rightly consid-
cred, it will prove far more difficult'to take
the other alternative. ''That way madness
lies" for man must be mad indeed who
Mt this day and in view OF the experience of
French history ventures to make war in de-
fence Of his own fancies against the declared
will of that resolute nation. If the Marshal
again dissolves the Chamber-as he has
threatened-how can it profit him? He
has then only to expect repetition
of these elections-a repetition perhaps
more emphatic Of the decision against
him, and only to hope that the
irritation such step would produce in
the country might lead to events that he
could seize upon as pretext for using the
army against the nation, with the chance
that the army might fail him, and that the
Germans would take an over deep interest
in such q use of troops, considering the
relations Of all this agitation to the position
Of Rome. 1t is certainly to be hoped that
the Ministry may be wisely inclined to put
upon the vote an Interpretation that may
make it acceptable.

THE HERALD on Friday last sent a.despatch to
Europe announcing that storm would reach
the British coast ON the 18th. Our cable de-
spatches this morning show how accurately the
prediction has been fulfilled. The tempest
burst over the British Islands Sunday night,
and was the severest and most disastrous in its
effects that has been known for years. In
London the gale is reported to have been
terrific, and it was exceedingly dangerous
to venture into the streets. Nearly all
the principal cities unfortunately shared in the
visitation, and the loss of life and property
nlong the coast must, it is feared, have been
very large. The HERALD has been the first to
initiate the system of storm signals, and has
progressed in the correctness of its predictions
since the first cable message was sent in Feb
rnary of this year. Our observations Mt sea
materially assist in establishing the exact rates
OF progress and the tracks Of those great disturb
ances Of nature.

THE WEATHEI.-Threcd distinct areas of high
pressure now moving across the territory Of
the United States and Canada east of the Rocky
Mountains. One, the most westerly, is central
in Nebraska, the second at Cape lIatteras and
the third in New Hampshire. The lowest ba-
roinetcrs arc north of Lake Superior, in Eastern
Texas, and between the Rocky Mountains aud
the Pacific coast over Oregon and Idaho The rain
areas attending the depressons extend through
and unite in the Mississippi Valley, but the pre-
cipitation is yet light. Heavy rain has fallen
la the Southwest. We predicted the formation
Of this Texas depression many days ago. Its
progress Of development is slow. The northern
depression is moving the region north
ward of the lakes and Canada, but it
will probably descend into the New
England Slater it approaches the
Atlantic coast The winds are now very va
riablc in the Mississippi Valley on account Of
the peculiar distribution OF pressures. They
are southeasterly on the Middle Atlantic and
uortbeasterly on the South Atlantic coast;
easterlv ON the Gulf coast and northerly west
of the Missouri. The weather in New York
and its vicinity to-day will be warm and fair or
partly cloudy, followed by slowly increasing

Another Score for Rapid Transit.

One of the most important of the many
injunctions against the Gilbert Elevated
Railway was that obtained from Judge
Sedgwick by the Sixth Avenue Railroad
Company, restraining the Gilbert Company
from constructing their road on Sixth ave.
nue., on the ground that the Rapid Transit
act of 1875 was unconstitutional. This in
junction was made perpetual by Judge
Sedgwick after trial, and although the ap-
plication was based on the ground of injury
to the property owners as we'll as Of the un-
constitutionality of the act, the Judgment
was rendered solely on the theory Of such
unconstitutionality. An appeal from Judge
Sedgwick's decision was taken by the Gill
bert Company to the General Term Of the
Supreme Court and is still pending. Mean
while the Court Of Appeals, in another suit,
has decided that the Rapid Transit act OF
1875 is constitutional. and this sweeps away
the main ground on which Judge Sedg-
wick's judgment in the Sixth avenue case
rests. The Gilbert Company, subsequently
to the Court Of Appeals decision, applied
to Judge Van Worst for stay of proceed
ings upon the judgment rendered by Judge
Sedgwick, and the stay was yesterday
granted. This suspends the operation of
the perpetual injunction until the appeal
shall have been argued and decided by the
General Term Of the Supreme Court, which
will probably be next month, and enables
the Gilbert Company to proceed with the
construction Of the elevated road except in
spots where temporary injunctions have
been obtained by property owners. The
Gilbert Company for this privilege is required
to give ON additional undertaking for ten
thousand dollars conditioned to pay all
damages the plaintiff may sustain by reason
Of the stay.
The Van Worst decision is another victory
for rapid transit It enables the Gilbert
Company to resume the work of construc-
tion at once, except near Forty-second and
Twentieth street, where temporary injunc-
tions have been obtained by owners of prop
erty. AS the law has been pronounced con-
stitutional these and the outside points
embraced in the Sixth avenue application
will no doubt be speedily disposed of, as
any question of damages will have to be de-
cided by the courts on suits, and will not
be grounds for injunctions. We may thus
hope that the main obstruction to rapid
transit has been removed and that the work
will now steadily progress

olson the subject. The heads Of every de-
partment Of the city government ought to
follow the example of the Fire Com mission
ers and protect their employees against the
attempted extortion by action similar to
that taken by those Commissioners.
BY what right does Tammany make this
call for money on the employees of the city
government? Their salaries are paid, not
by Tammany, but by the people. If they
render full and honest services for the pay
they receive why should any of it be ex-
torted from them as a forced political as
sessment? What claim has Tammany on
any portion of their salaries, unless, indeed,
that organization insists that it gives away
the public Offices to whomsoever it pleases
and that every city employe is in its SER
vice and not in the service of the city.
