FREDERICK DoUGLAs,--Twenty-
seven years ago Mr.. Douglas es-
capped from slavery, and fled to
New England, where he began
work as a common laborer, and at
the same time began to learn to
read He las now for many years
ranked among the most intelligent
men aud ablest public speakers. 1t
does not need that he should have
negro blood in order to be re-
markabIe man, Aud us he had a
white father, he belongs as much
to the white as to the black race
Mr. Douglas would be the same in
tellectual prodige if he were purely
white. He is an example Of the
force ofinhcrent qualities Of mind.
As such he commands as largo au-
diences as any public speaker in
America, -- Gin, Gax

Should officers of different branches
of the Government service not sat.
isfy him in the discharge Of theil
official duty, he would not hesitate
a moment about removing them,
sRd would do SO just as quickly
with his own appointments as with
those ofhi predecessor. General
Grant stated that he had not an.
nOunced his Cabinet up to the time
of the official declaration of tho re.
suit of the election, but had intend
ed at that period to make known
the names Of those whom he would
invite to become members. In the
interval, however, he had concluded
not to make known the names of
the gentlemen whose services he
would be glad to have in this re-
spect, even to the gentlemen them,
sylves, till he sent them into the
Senate for confirmation. The rea.
son for this determination, Gen.
Grant said, was because of the fact
that should he do so, a pressure
would Immediately commence from
various parties to induce him 10
change his determination. Not so
much, probably, from the fact that
opposition would be made from
personal motives, but on account
ofthe interest which gentIemenmay
have for their own friends. For
these and other reasons he had con.
cluded to make no public announce.
incnt Of his Cabinet till the time
mentioned.
General Grant spoke without
any reserve, and with the greatest
frankness and courtesy, and his re-
marks were heard by his distin.
guished visitors with every mark of
interest and appreciation.
Mr.. Colfax replied as follows;
GENTLEMEN p Please convey to

this mark Of confidence, by fidelity
