At The celebration at Hillsdalt, near
Washington, on Monday, by the colored
! people, there was new declaration of in
dependence, Prof. Langston and Fred
Douglass being in accord concerning the
duty of their race. Their remarks were
frequently applauded by their many list
eners. Fred Douglass declared the indie
pendence of the colored race from pre-
tended white friends who, he said, have
injured more than they have helped the
black men.
Prof. Langston followed with similar
strain of remarks. He said he was there tn
declare his independence for all who were
his followers. The hour is come, he con-
/ tlnued, when we must throw off this yoke of
oppression and stand up for our rights as
free men. The signs of the times demand
that we shall prove our fitness for ali the
duties of citizenship. The hour has come
when we must manage our institutions. II
we have o,erei churcher, then give US color
ed preachers. If we have colored banks then
give us colured bankers. If we have col
ored schools, let us have colored teachers.
II we have colored colleges, we demand we
have our own officers. We have PLAYED
second fiddle too long. We want and We
must have change for the better.

ton of the United States, New York and
leading parties in other cities are protesting
against taxing cigars by coupon on each

mode of collecting the tax.
| WASHINGTON, July 9.-The beer manu-
facturers who have taken out hundred
dollar licenses to manufacture beer, finding
the quantity manufactured by them required
only a license of fifty dollars, made appli-
cation for the refunding of that amount.
The matter being referred to the First Comp
troller of the Treasury, that officer finds
nothing in the law allowing such refunding,
and decides in opposition to the applica-
| ton. The manufacturers will contest the
point in the courts.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Secretary of

New YORK, July 9.-The EUening Post
says the sensation story to the effect that
F. H. Ecces, a member of the Stock Elk
change, had defrauded or attempted to de-
fraud the National Mechanics Banking
Association and the Third National Bank,
and absconded, is proved to have been
groundless by the return of Eccles yester-
day afternoon on the Saratoga express train.
He had taken the Fourth of July holidays,
as the opportunity offered, to visit his
mother in Montreal, and left New York
last Saturday for that purpose, intending
to return Tuesday or Wednesday. On
his return yesterday he found, to his
surprise, that one of his clerks had, on
| Tuesday, filled up blank checks on the
sufficient to take up 1926, 900, gold,
pledged by Eccles with the Third National
Bank as collateral for loan. This clerk, who
has disappeared, it is believed, intended to
draw gold and get away with it, and would
have done so but for the fact that the Third
National Bank would only deliver gold to
Eccles, he having arranged with the bank
never to give up his collateral except to
| himself personally. As to a dispute be-
! tween the banks, that was settled in the
first ten minutes of business to-day by &c
| Giles giving the Third National Bank an
order to deliver gold to the Mechanics
Banking Association, which has been done,
and which makes the check on the latter
good. This morning the Stock Exchange
was called to order to listen to a report
from the law committee, charged with the
investigation of the reported defalcation
The committee reported that, after full In
vestigation, it was evident that Eccles wal
in no way party to an attempt to defrauo
the Third National Bank or any one.

New YORK, July 10.-The London Time
having published some structures on the
address in favor of Henry Ward Beecher
drawn up by the Congregationalist minister
Rev. DIR. Alexander Raleigh, one of the
! signers has written letter in reply. HG
vindicates the action of himself and hi:
Friends in signing the address. He ther
proceeds to declare that it is not sound
| principle to assert, because man may be
blamable In lighter things, that he is not
to be approached with an expression of sym
patty by those who are unspeakably glad
to believe he has shown himself innocent
of heavier charges with complete success
