TIE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

Late years have brought reflection to the
masses of the people, and very many Of
them are fearful that the Republic found
ed by our fathers is not destined to fulfil
its early promise. We must, however,
be hopeful as the possibilities ofthe country
are great indeed. We have unlimited re-
sources of every kind-plenty in abundance.
but strange anomaly, layriads starving.
Why such social paradox should exist
is proper matter for thought, and refec-
tion, upon this great national holiday.
For one day at least let partizanship be
subjected to patriotism, and honest
thought and assest its dominion over pas
sion. The Republic as the Evening Tele-
graph well says: "is far from pure, far
from carrying out It's original promise to
the world" ........ ...0.-
Only the ignorant or the Indifferent man
can speculate upon our future with COM
posure, but even the most solicitous citi-
zen may fairly reflect upon the illimitable
resources of the country, and hope that out
of this present struggle may come peace.
Material depression would not count for so
much, though 1t bears badly on every one
of US, If there was assurance of higher and
more honest views of administration, and
all the oratory of to-day, extolling the
sacrafices and labors of the men of'76 will
he but so much wasted breath unless we
have impressed on the public the essential
corollary that heroism 10 the present is as
urgently called for as It was In the Revo-
luton, that while Washington and his
men founded the Republic, men
of our own day must show
themselves equally patriotic II
II they would save 1t. The holiday is not
all brightness 1t has Its background of
gloom, and only renewed conviction Of the
high claims and responsibilities Of American
citizenship can make It the perfect express
sion of republican feeling in the future that
II was in the past. u.aaa. asl.
1t is to be hoped that corrupt conspiracy
which placed the President in power will
before 1870 be 80 exposed as to make atom e.
ment and reparation on the part of the
traitors. Above all 1t is to be prayed for
that the cowardice of capital which now
supplicates Grant to accept another term Of
Office, will be shamed into manhood before
the return OF another year.

A HANDSOME CRAFT. Ct

A handsome cabin sailing yacht was
launched yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
on the Brandywine, back of the match fac
tory. The boat was christened the "Mar>
garet," and as she glided into the water
James Mcconnell broke the accustomed
bottle of champagne over her brow. The
dimensions of the craft are 90 follows:
Length, 80 feet; beam, 10 feet, and AZ inches

LONGEVITY IN PHILADELPHIA.

During the first six months Of 1878 the
deaths announced in Philadelphia who lived
to or beyond the advanced age of eighty
years numbered 331, of whom 1877 were men
and 2A women. During the corresponding
balf year Of 1877 the deaths were similarly
recorded of 1875 men and 226 women, total
of 351. During the half year just closed
these records give the usual proof of the
observation that more women live to the
ripe age of eighty than men, the female
octogenarians outnumbering the males byI
large percentage. A further analysis also
shows that the females were the longest
lived, as the women who lived beyond ninety
are more numerous than the men. "'@@''' "
