The Celebration OF the one-Lundreth
anniversary Of the storming Of Stony
Point will be held to day on the battle
ground, beginning at II o'clock, when
the United States batteries from West
Point will fire salute to be answered
by the vessels in the harbor.
Referring to this interesting event
the Philadslphia "Record" says: One
hundred years ago to-day the storming
Of Stony Point by the Centennial troops
under Wayne's command took place.
The fort was strong one, 1t was de-
Tended by disciplined British troops,
still the Americans took 1t at the point
Of the bsyonst.
The moral effect Of this action on the
patriot army was very great. It was
the first action Of any moment in which
the Continentals had been handled as
veterans and made TO trust to cold steel
alone. The result Of that daring dash
was to prove that the soldiers Of Wash.
ington's army, poorly clad and lily
armed as many of them were, were q
match for thu best troops that fought
benesth the Cross Of st. George.
1t showed that the discipline intro
ducsd by Baron Steuben had trans
formed the American militia into q
force capable Of coping on equal terms
with the regulars Of Howe and Corn
wallis. Wayne's heroic spirit was we'll
indicated by an episode Of this mid
night attack. Hit in the head by a
nusket ball, and apparently wounded
beyond recovery, he family whispered:
Take me into the fcrt; let me die at
the head of the column"
Fortunately his injury vast not ssri-
ous but his words will live in history
with the "Don't give up the ship" of the
ill fated Lawrence. The celebration
which is to day to take place on this
storied spot will bs of peculiar interest.
The letter, full of forebodings of his
death, which "Mad Anthony" wrote
an hour of two before the assault the
brief dispatch in which he announced
to Washington the fall Of the fort and
the fact that his force "behaved like
men who are determined to be free;"
his cane and sword and other relics
will be on exhibition, and u sham bat
tie will produce, with as much fidelity
as may be, the stirring events of that
fateful July night.

Attacking Democratic Claims.


A despatch from Washington, July
l5, says: The speech which Secretary
Sherman will deliver at Portland, Me-,
will be mainly devoted to national f.
nances. He will explain in detail the
refunding operations of the Govern
ment, by which about 81 400, 600, 900,
mostly 8 per cent. bonds, have been re-
placed with bonds bearing lower rate
of interest, and will show the annual
saving which has resulted therefrom in
the interest charge.
He will also explain the advantages
to the Government and the people re-
sultiDg from successful maintenance Of
specie payments, and direct attention
to the determined efforts Of the Dsme.
Gratis to Illustrate specie resumption,
and to injure the public credit by the
repeal Of the Specie Resumption act
and the enactment Of laws authorizing
free coinage.
The Secretary will assail the claims
Of the Democrats to economy in making
appropriations, and show that most Of
their claims in this regard are based
not upon legitimate reductions in pub
lie expenditures, but upon withholding
needful appropriations, which must be
ultimately voted in the form Of deficien.
cies, simply for partisan capital.
The economical administration of the
public service by. the Republicans will
be contrasted with the sham economy
of the legislative branch since it pass
ed into the control of the Democrats,
and the exhibit will not be relished by
the leaders of that party.
The Secretarys speech throughout
will be aggressive, and will no doubt
furnish the keynote for the approach
ing political campaign, as well as for
that of 1880.

A Case of Human Nature.


John Kelly and the administration at
Washington are making united effort in
New York to defeat Robinson. one of the
ablest and best governors that state ever
had, and to secure the election of Cornell.
a man whom the administration turned
out the New York custom-hocse less than
q year ago because of neglect and misman-
agement. What is the explanation OF
this affectionate cooperation between the
ex-chief of Tammauy? Nothing can be
said against Robinson; he is above the
reach of assault, and even the Republi-
cans are forced to admit his virtues and
his abilities Ga the contrary, something
may be said against Cornell-that some
thing which the administration gave as the
reason for turning him out the custom
house. Why. then, should the admins
tration oppose Robinson and favor Cornell ?
The answer probably is that Robinson is
the friend of Tildeo. But how are we to
account for the administrator special
malevolence towards Tilden? Is its con-
duct only a striking illustration of that
unfortunate habit in weak human nature
of never forgiying those whom we have
wronged?

that the Ohio election will have not a whit
of Influence on the New York election,
which comes off two weeks from nextTues-
day. The same issues do not exist here as
there. The Democrats are running the
election on strictly state issues; they
being, in brief. the reduction of taxation
and the carrying on of canal reforms.
Both Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Tilden are
confident of victory. While not undsrrat-

attach 20 1t the Importance given by Re-
publicans: aud they expect to more than

IF the Democrats 10 1880 go into the
contest on sound platform free from
demagogical leanings of whatsoever sort,
and candidate known to be 10 full har>
mony with the principles adopted. vic
tory can be secured. If, however. en-
tangling alliances are made or any deyia-
ton allowed from the old Jacksonian
principles of true Democracy, the contest
will be decided before it begins. 1t will
be certain defeat. Nothing but g sound
platform. with candidate of answering
Democracy and an unblemished record
can make success certain. We have
plenty of excellent material in the Demo
cratic ranks. and if wise counsels prevail
the triumph of the Democracy in 1880
will not only be assured but will be over
whelmIDg in its magnitude.
