THE EID OF VOLUME SIX
" "WithjluB number of the Democrat
, its sixth year closes. We leave our
: readers to eay whether the career of
our paper for the past year has been
downward or tipward -whether it
has improved in sire, in appearance
rnnd in the character and interest of its
contents, or has retrogaded from tlie
. standard which it occupied in August,
1S70. We know that all of our time
and energy and whatever talent we
have been able to 'command, "have
been devoted tot its improvement and
- advancement in the jouroal'.stic world,
and if substantial support and encour
agement is- an indication of success,
then we have not labored in vain, for
our subscription book 6hows a most
flattering increase . of names
the past twelve months.

r ' If, during the year to come, by the
same constant and unremitting toil,
" added to which ;will be our past ex
perience to teach us, we can give any
thing to the paper which it has not
; -heretofore possessed, either for tlie
instruction, interest or edification of
its readers, it will cheerfully be given,
In- politics we 6hall attempt to
- "hew close to the line" of Democracy,
to eschew whatever may be calculated
to. engender discord or dissensions in
our own political family , and shall
. make war only upon the common foe
The pastfeonduct of the Democrat
in this particular is a sufficient guar-
. anty of its future course.
2 w j chronicler of news, local, State
? and general,our paper shall ever be
found in the front rank of provincial
journalism. ; Indeed we snail 6tnve
to render it a newspaper, in every
sense of the term, one worthy of its gen
erons patrons and creditable to our
county and State.
If it does not fully represent the
various interests of the different lo
calities in which it circulates, it will
yet strive to avoid partiality for" any,
giving a patient and fair hearing
through its columns to all legitimate
communications which may be of
fered. If we succeed in our endeavors to
bring the Democrat up to the stand
ard of usefulness, and influence to
which we believe every family paper
should attain, it will be through the
encouragement and support of the
public and by the fostering hand and
intelligent appreciation of our friends
and patrons.
Death of Johx Slidell. Hon.
John Slidell, of Louisiana, died at
London, England, July 30th, in the
78th year of his age. Mr. Slidell was
, one of the most eminent Southern
statesman of his day, and has filled
many public offices of trust and re
sponsibility. In 1861 he, in company
with Hon. Jas. M. Mason (who died a
few weeks ago at Alexandria, Vir
ginia,) sailed for France as Minister
1 from the Southern Confederacy; and
their subsequent capture by Capt.
e Wilkes of the TJ. S. ship San Jacinto,
is too fresh in the minds of our read-
, ers to need special .mention here.
The Sacramento iJeporter tells us that
"Mr. Slidell arrived in France, we
think early in 1862, and we do not
r recollect that he at any time since re-
turned to this country. His daugh-
i- ter, a true woman, of noble and heroic
nature, as her conduct at the arrest of
r- her father on board the Trent showed,
was married , some years ago to M.
' Erlanger, the Paris banker. A well
writtenlife of John Slidell would be a
- work of thrilling interest, and will
- probably be undertaken by some gen
tleman in New Orleans who is inti
' mately acquainted with his eventful
' life." . .
; The Radicals havn't made a single
point in their Ku-klux Investing Com
mittee. Carpet-bagger after carpet
bagger comes up and swears that the
South is as peacable as any part of the
North. ' And just as soon as a carpet
bagger testifies in this manner, imme
diately all the radical papers North
. swear with their loudest voice that he
has gone over to the Democrats.
They are all saying, now that Dick
' Busteed, Gov. Hill, Gov. Alorn, and
, many others . are quitting the rotten
Radical craft . south. It strikes , us
i :that this is a poor way for the Radi-
cals to back out of their most perfidi-
' ous job. This ; Ku-klux committee

On the 1st inst. Mr. Pomeroy made
a rousing speech to the largest crowd
ever assembled in Yolo county, Call
fornia. We copy the following ex
tract of the speech from the Sacra
mcnto Democrat of August 3 :
Permit me, cood friends and broth
ers in a common cause made holy by
the blood of martyrs, to differ, and to
differ materially from all the eminent
gentlemen who have addressed you
so long and so well to-night, l hey
told you they had no words of bitter
ness for Republicans no wish to
speak unkindly of those who differ
from Democrats. Milk for babes
meat for boys tender, soft meat for
old men smstle lor dogs, ana Dones
for those who have teeth. Cheers.
In my Democracy I am . not like the
beginner who delights in milk'punch,
but take it as old miners do their
Tt-liicL-v i-i t Ti nil t an'Aat'nln irr-nl. ? fY
red-hot as best troes to the i.lace.
Applause. I have a bone to pick, a
never ending quarrel to wage with
Republicans with that party and
those men with that combination of
tyrants, fanatics, speculators, spoon
thieves, plunder-hunters, carpet-bag
gers, glib tongued, ialse hearted, de
ceiving violators of the Constitution
who have in the name of God, morali
ty, and loyalty brought such woe,
wrong, abuse of power and evil betide-
ment to the nation. Cheers and
more cheers. And, men of Califor
nia, Democrats, working-men, broth
ers, while the stars above us shine '
while life lasts, " by the great Eter-1
naL" there is one Democrat in the
land who will hold not his tongue, nor
lay aside hi3 pen from defending the
r.ight and condemuig the wrong, till
Republicanism and corruption shall
die, and Democracy and protec
tion to labor live from shore to shore
of this broad domain this rich legacy
left us by patriotic sires. Tumultu
ous applause, long continued.
Mr. Pomeroy continued till nearly
1 o'clock in the morning, the crowd
being larger when he closed than
when he began. He paid Governor
Haight high compliments, advised
Democrats eveywhere to abide by the
work of the convention, and elect the
entire ticket, saying that he was the
best Democrat who could and would
do the most, no matter what his per
sonal feellings as to men- or depart
ures, to elect a ticket once fairly and
honestly in nomination to continue
the affairs of the State in the hands of
honest men and faithful offers, rath
er than to turn them over to the
keeping ' of men nominated to help
carry the tail of a rotten, State-mur
dering party and to rob working men
of their rights and rewards.
After a- right lively talk, amid loud
cries of" Go on," "go on," the speaker
bade the multitude good nighty and
retired from the stage, while the
throng dispersed with something to
think of.
Geo. W. Richardson', the Radical
solicitor of Coosa county, Iowa, blind
folded, gagged and;, whipped two
little negro girls, and threatened
them with death if they should ever
tell who committed the outrage4 He
was trying to manufacture a Ku-Klux
outrage to serve as the basis for further
prosecution of southern Democrats.
But, fortunately, he was detected, and
his design exposed by a negro.
McGeeajt, the murderer who was
the subject of "Yallahdigbam's experi
ment, fearing that his counsel would
be unable to clear him, took occasion
the other night to clear himself, and
dug out of the Drayton jail. As he had
been lonely since bis mother djed, he
took six of the companions of his cell
to keep him company, in his lonesome
flight. :r ; :t,J;'; r

S3gTWELL'S iKEV FAlLtJEE.
Tne, Washington JFatriot says . that
no intelligence has been received at
tho treasury department tending tq
corroborate the cable telegram, sent
from . London to Ne W1 . York, a few
nys since, to the effect that Judge
lichardgon had been perfectly sue
cessful in his negotiations for tho dis
posal of the new loan in Europe. On
tho contrary, whatever is known con
cerning the operations of the - agents
sent abroad to place the new bonds in
the market is anything but encourag
ing. In tho meantime, the numerous
agents employed to sell tho now
bonds at home have only succeeded in
disposing of some sixty-eight millions
of them, and those disposed of are
only of the highest class, and not
dollar of the -i and 4 per cent, bonds
tas yet been taken. Thus it will be
seen that tho entire amount ot now
loan (which has been on the market for
several months) that has actually been
disr osod of is less than seventy mil
lions, and of that amount, at least sixty
millions ij in transfers by the national
banks, so that tho actnal new sub
scriptions are under ten millions. .
The Burlington Gazette says this is
deoidedly a bndj showing for tho re
funding scheme of the administration;
is, in fact, a practical demonstration of
its utter failure. , No doubt Mr
Boutwell has done his bestf no doubt
his agents have done their best to sel
the new bonds, and to convince the
people of the advantage they offer for
a safe investment on a long time;
but it is notorious that tho refunding
scheme was passed so much in favor
of the national banks as to paralyze
the hands of the government from the
contrast. It is also notorious that no
bill which compelled the national
banks to transfer the C per cent, for
lower-rate bonds could have got
through Congress, in the face of the
bank presidents and bank directors
who hold seats in that body.
Now there is another fact in rela
tion to the failure of. the new loan
which demonstrates how ecalous have
been the effortsof the government to
dispose of it, "and that is the fact that
the advertising bills already reach
$$00,000; and when to that amount
is added the commission of the agents,
the aggregate is further augmented
by a considerable figure. Then there
should bo added the heavy expense of
the two costly embassies which have
teen sent to Europe to sell the bonds
there, and which cannot be fairly esti
mated at much less than $50,000 in
gold. In view of the discouraging facts
above referred to, there would seem
to be some foundation for the rumor
which was current in Washington a
day or two since, to the effect that
Mr. Boutwell had ordered the note
printing companies in New York to
suspend the printing of the new bonds
until further notice. ,
WEDDIEQ "OF THE GIAST3. .
Jany of our readers will remember
the amiable Nova Scotia Giantfs.
Mlis Anna Swan, who visited this re
gion last summer, and all will doubt-
leas be interested in the following ac
count of her marriage which occurred
at London, England, on the 10th of
June. The item is taken from the Lon
don Telegrap h of that date:
"At the Church of St Jartin's-in-

giant. The reverend gentleman, who
is not connected with the church in
which he was called to officiate on Bat
urday, is a man of extraordinary hight,
measuring some three inches over six
feet in hight ; but he was completely
dwarfed by proximity to the happy
pair. ' It was said that this gentleman
was chosen priet not on account of any
fanciful fitness of stature, but simply
because he had been an acquaintance
of his countrywoman, the bride, before
either of them left Nova Scotia, We
may fairly say that there was no undue
attempt to make an exhibition of the
ceremony in St. Jartin's Church. The
bride's dress became her well, and there
was something of stateiiness and dig

Grfat Storm at Walla Walla.
Telegraphic dispatches from that
place to the morning papers, dated
August 3d relate , ' the following:
About 6 o'clock Saturday evening
this particular locality was visited by
a terrible storm of hail, wind and rain,
which for a time threatened great de
struction of property The torm
seemed to passdirectly over the town,
and its track, so far as traced, is less
than a mile wide. Commencing at
the lower end of town, it made sad
havoc with fruit and shade trees, and
grape vines and shrubery generally
suffered. On the line of Poplar
street, as indeed all other localities,
where attention has been given to
planting trees, the damage was great.
The storm expanded its force in half
an hour, but in that brief space a large
amount of property was destroyed.
The grape vines and fruit trees within
the track of the storm were almost
stripped, and in several cases the loss
from thia source is heavy. It further
states that the damage done outside
of town is very erreat. particularly so
at the farms of Judge Mix, Mr. Gra

it from its London correspondent: A
curious story is in circulation with re
gard to the relation? of the Marquis
of Lome and the Princess Louise to
the other members of the royal fami
ly. I believe that : at the Duke ol
Sutherland's banquet to the Russian
Grand Duke, now in this country, the
Mara uis and Princess were treated
as of the royal family. The prince of
Wales, however, will not accept this
view of the position, find at the State
ball the other night gave orders that
the Marquis should not be admitted
at the royal entrance, lie was ac
cordingly refused admittance, and
the Princess declined to enter except
with her husband, saving that her
place was where he was. The Mar
quis could not take the Princess in
by the general public entrance, and
the result was that they did not attend
the ball. The 1 circumstance has
caused a good deal of talk in upper
