 San Francisco, July 6.-The celebration yesterday was as great success as the cele- bration of the day can be when divided be. tween three days.

GIVE Us THEIR NAMES Fred erick Douglass, in a recent speech, referred to the failure of the Freedman's Savings Bank Tn Washington. We put our mill ions there," he said, "but where are they now? The men who went into the bank a few years ago poor men are now domiciled in beautiful houses and drive their fine turnouts. It makes me feel badly to think how we have been robbed" We should think it would! It is a feeling in which the country will share. The fail ure of the Freedman's Savings Bank was most disgraceful in every way. It was deliberate, cold blooded, shameful robbery of a dependent, poor and struggling race-a robbery under the gulsc of morality and religion. Give us the names of these robbers! Mr. Douglass must know them, be- cause he speaks of their houses and coaches. Let him give us their names, that they may be nailed up by the ears in fostering infamy!-N. Y. Herald.

 Who, looking out from the yes- tibule of literature, and the corri- ders of a strict observation, over the world and beholding the dire ful results following the use of in toxicating beverages, can remain unmoved, with no wish to impede the progress of this terrible dis troyer of the social felicity of the human family. Oh, who can con template the unutterable misery, which helpless innocence must be caused to endure and the low scale of degredation to which it may be reduced by yielding himself to the qualification of this debasing and demoralizing custom, and ut ter no warning voice to arrest him in his downward course.

THE COLLEGE REGATTA.

The annual inter collegiate boat race of 1875 will take place to- day at Lake Saratoga. Increased facilities and the most liberal ar engagements for conducting the race and for obtaining satis- factory. decision of the contest have been made, and it is pre- dicted that it will eclipse all for mer boating both in the endu- renee and skill displayed.
 The contestants, which up to 1871, were limited to the crews of Harvard and Yale have increased rapidly, and the regatta of no less than thirteen colleges will this year be represented.
 The winner of this race will earn the laurels which will crown victory, Tor the training has been studiously and energetically followed up for some months, and it is thought that the time made by the Amherst crew in 1872, 16 m. g 4-5 S., will have to be beaten.
 The crews consist of six men each, and there is no crew that averages less than l52 pounds to each man.
 The boats, or racing shells, as they are called, are made of Span lsh cedar, and paper; most Of them of the former material. None ot them arc less than 49 feet long and none more than 90. They are astonishingly light, the heav- jest in tie regatta weighing only l5O pounds, and some as light as 125. Every facility for afiiordina ample transportation to the re gatta course has been provided and visitors and spectators will have ample opportunities for go ing to and returning from the scene of the contest.

FRIEND B.: Would it not be we'll to name some particular col umn in your best of local papers, thus: "Atkins." "Georgetown," "Dovcr,' etc., and let some one of the distinguished citizens of the above places be required to furnish an article weekly or fort nightly for his respective column? I simply suggest. What do you think of it.
 rhe people of grand old Pope ought to rally to your support. What would be more beneficial, morally, politically or financially considered, than a first class coun- ty journal? Old fogyism must up and away" Send him to the rear. Why, why! will he obtrude into progressive society? The world moves with a "whoop-hol- low" and "clang chatter. Steam and lightning are the worlds ''motor nerves" "Daddy" must write by telegraph, move with "the lightning express" and blow with steam, or take his seat in the "long agone" cart and wheel slow ly and gloomily down to obscur- ity's sombre vale.

Support his feeble steps until he comes to the margin of the last river, there resign him into angels hands and then whistle ''off breaks" and let the car of progress move on. More anon.

---------------l---7---- THE RACE QUESTION.

With the Southern States. the labor questionable question of reliable and cheap labor-is of the greatest importance. With our rich lands in such large quanti- ties, adapted to the production of everything that grows in the soil, and with a sparce population wholly inadequate to the task of putting anything near the whole of said lands in q state of produc- tive cultivation, it must be seen that a supply of labor is indis- pensable to our prosperity.
 Closely connected with the labor question is the race question. The proportion of the colored population in the South is SC great, that upon their course ol conduct, upon their industry and close pursuit of some profitable employment, and upon a concilia

From Clark Township.
CLARK TOWNSHIP, July Sth, 1875.


 ED. DEMOCRAT: l have seen nothing in your paper from Clark, but l hope to get time from now forward to give you an item occasionally. In the first place allow me to congratulate you upon the neat, high toned and interest ing paper yon are furnishing us. l find less objectionable reading matter in it than any home paper we have ever had, and l sincerely hope you will find all the good men, and especially farmers, ral- lying to your support so that you can make the DEMOCRAT a perma- nent institution. Our farmers, l fear, don't read their home paper enough to keep posted on many things which they should know. We have many good citizens in Clark and l think you will get a big list of subscribers from here this fall.
 We have all been very busy here this year. We have worked hard and have good prospects for crops. Our wheat and oats was better than average. If we can get good rains for few weeks longer we will make plenty of corn. Our farmers have bought less on credit this year than l have ever known them to buy before, and l think this is the highway to success.
 Clark grange 232, is in a pros porous condition, and will com mence their new hall next week. The building is two-story frame house 24x36, and will be located about 5 miles northwest of Rus sellville. Our grange has sixty odd patrons.
 Thanking you for the space l have appropriated, and also for your successful efforts to furnish us so good paper, l am, respect ! fully, AGRicoLA.

READ THIS!

With our next issue one-half of the first volume of the DEMOCRAT will have been placed before our readers; six months will have ex- pired and the time of many of our six months subscribers will be out. We trust that the course of our paper thus far has been such as to meet the appreciation of all fair minded persons who have read it. We have had many kindly assurances that such is the case, and we believe it from the fact that our subscription list has steadily increased.
 But while it is increasing and new names are added to our list, we still want to hold our old subscribers. We look upon them and look to- ward them as first friends, ard we wish still to retaln them as such. We therefore cordially press all whose time will be out a. the end of the first SIX months, to send us in their renewal, and still remain upon our list. One dollar and a half is Q very small sum, only l241 cents q month for the support of your home paper, which places you in direct possession of all matters of any interest or impOr- tance which may be going on in your county or State. Your local paper more than earns the patron age it gets; it benefits your coun- ty more than all that is paid to support it.
 To those who wish it we can furnish the DEMOCRAT and the St. Louis Midland Farmer, an eight page monthly agricultural jour nal at $l.75 per year.
 Send in your renewals, friends, and we will work hard to give you full value for all received.

THE BLACK HILLS.

The Black Hills, after all it seems are but gigantic fraud. The New York Herald which keeps we'll posted by an interest ing correspondence from there, has this to say in speaking of the subject:
 It seems as if there is not as much gold in the Black Hills country as was anticipated by our impatient adventurers who are anxious to drive out the Indians from their reservations and grow rich in a month or so. Mir. Jen- ney, the geologist of the explor- ing expedition, reports that the gold is thinly scattered, and that no one has obtained more than a few cents worth of gold dust after few hours hard labor. Even the newsboys do better than that, and blacking boots on Broadway would seem to he more remun- erative occupation than washing out gold in the gulchcs of the Black Hills. Our correspondence from this country will be found full of interest and value, as show ing that the unexplored and GOV eted land is not such an Fl Dorado after all. Our people can do no better than to remain at home, If they want gold they have only to dig for it here, and the return will be as certain and much more pleasant in the finding than by a long, dangerous and uncertain trip to the Black Hills.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-07-15

Because Mir.
