The Fourth of JuIy, 1so3

As usual, there was everywhere thoughout the union, the highest glee upon this day. From dawn to sum- down, and long through the night, nothing was to be heard but the heartiest thanksgivings. From the forts along the coast and upon the frontiers, the thunder of artillery con tinuously broke out. There was not an American mast, nor a white shaft, nor staunch hickory pole anywhere, nor a rugged height glitterinR ln the sunlight, from the Atlantic to the blue Pacific, that did not fly the beautiful flag which the soldiers of the revolution won for the republic. Song, flowers, com memorative rhetoric, feasting, sll the signs and voices which denote the joy of free people were abroad, within the city, in the fields, up the mountains, everywhere. There is no happier day for any nation, than the ever memor- able one which calls forth this chorus of gladness, and all this music, artillery, and exuberance of rhetoric. Not a happier nor a nobler day. No day, in any national lifetime or chronical, which renews so many inspiring mem- ories, so much pride and such a growth of generous hopes. Other nations cele- brate the birth of queens, the marriage of princes, the uncovering of some arch or pillar by which a gaudy despotism seeks to immortaliZe itself, or they com memorate with an expensive hypocrisy the death of some old drone who has died with jeweled garters about his neck. Ia all which ceremonies there is not the smallest heart, not a throb of piety, not one faint glimmering of hont st life. With all its aching noise, wild carousiug, extravaganza of con- graduation, incidental riotousness and waste of gunpowder, this great holiday of America is supremely preferable. A big heart beats through it-love of country is born of it-genuine reverence rises from it for the illustrious dead
 whose bold patriotism have made it memorable, and the consciousness of
 being free and privileged, as no other people are or have been, is better than sunshine or music. fruits, or the richest
 vintage to it. The joyousness, the praises, the odes and feastings in honor of the day should not be confined 10 | these United States, nor to tho; e hearths or decks, outside of them, | where two or more American citizens chance to meet. The Declaration of Il { dependence was written for the world. | The language of it is intelligible to every nation. It is the sublime enunci- ation of the first and highest aspirations | of the human heart. In the schools and workshops in many a place in Ireland, | where, underneath the dull submissive
 face of things, the fire, of which liberty | IS born, still burns, and all the more
 intensely, it may be that it can find nc
 vent. Every spot in that old land re.
 turns a quick echo to the great maxims
 uttered by the signers of the declara
 tion. It will be long, I fear, before
 those maxims supersede the Draconiar
 code of the London parliament. It will
 be long, fear, before the people any
 where outside the United States, finC
 their collars loose enough to joir
 audibly in the cheers and merry uproal
 which, upon the day in question, shake
 the pillars of this continent.

LYON RESIGNS.
The Surveyor Bows to the Commands of
 the Treasury First.

NEW YoRE, July 7-George W. Lyon, surveyor of ths port, sent his resignation to President Cleveland to take effect on the appointment of his successor. Mir. Lyon has obtained 30 days leave of absence and started for his country home on the Con necticut river. Until his resignation Is ac- cepted Auditor Samuel D. Blatchford will be acting surveyor.
 Surveyor Lyon wrote to Secretary Car lisle letter of explanation. He had re- fused to prepare list of employees in the surveyors department for the Fairchild commission, saying that he was unaware of any authority the commission had for its existence
 Then Secretary Carlisle directed Mir. Lyon to give the information called for. Mir. Lyon still demurred and wrote letter to that effect to be forwarded to the secretary The letter was not forwarded, and finally Mir. Lyon wrote to the secretary that he had now compiled list of the employees and other information requested by the custom house commission and left the documents in the hands of Auditor Blatch- ford for the commission, which Is to reas- semble on July 10. In explanation of his course in this matter one of the surveyors advisers said that Mir. Lyon had concluded that his controversy with the secretary might injure Auditor Blatchford, who has held over under Democratic and Republic an administrations.
