Hon. Fred. Douglass, in ability, cul-
ture and gentlemanliness, everywhere
recognized as among the foremost OF
Americans, arrived in our city yesterday
morning to spend few hours in visiting
some old friends, before proceeding by
rail to Greenville, Illinois, where he had
an engagement to lecture in the evening:
He registered his name at the Planters
House, and left to call upon his friends,
and after couple of hours returned to
dine. When proceeding to the dining
hall, he was interrupted and asked II he
was registered. He replied that he was.
The statement was questioned, the book
referred to, and 1t then appeared that
his name had been scratched Of. lie
asked for the reason, and the parsonage
confronting him declined TO give any.
Alter several inquiries for the cause, and
being at last told he, Douglass, ought to
know, the latter in substance replied that
the yery fact that the reason was refused
showed it to be an infamous reason, and
with remarks to the effect that he rarely
experienced such treatment, and expect
ed to live to see the day when those VIII"
now administered it would themselves
be ashmed of it, he withdrew to look for
q dinner elsewhere.
During the conversation large crowd
gathered about the speakers, and several
gentlemen exhibited their sympathy with
Mr.. Douglass, one declaring as he reiir-
ed that it was ga damned outrage, and
others that instant proceedings ought to
be Instituted to compel the Planters House
10 open It's doors, AS long asst pretended
10 be public hosiery, to all gentlemen,
irrespective of the color of their skin,
Mr.. Douglas, whose princcly bearing
and genticmanly demeanor are as well
known 10 the public as his erudition and
scholarly tastes, is received in other ho-
tells throughout the country without the
least show of objection, and is entertain
cd gladly in private by the most cuItur-
cd and refined people Of the land. This
is the first difficulty OF tie kind lac has
received on the present lecture trip, aud
il is shameful r.:;vet;cn on -. Ions
tina; it VAS PERMITTED to occur
here. At Dunhirk, where he was dc
MED admission to the leading hotel six
wears ago, lie was rccci::cd last Week
with pleasure, and conr;@souiy entertain
cd. a few days ago lac WAS at the Aich-
igan Avenue Hotel, Chicago, which had
not been more honerci by the recent
presence there of Alexis of Russia. a,
Springfield he was offered The sratui,ous
Inequalities of the two principal hotels,
and at Jaci, sonviile he received the same
marked attention. What ever Eiay be
said of his race, Fred Douglas is gen
tleman, so far as brains and culture ana
refinement can make one. and is the peer
of any of the guests of the first hotel in
the land. ct it seems lis name Is nnii;
tor the Planters House registry, and
that the Planters House hospitality can
not afford him the dinner he would pay
for. For shame Missouri Democrat.

CONFIDENCE IN ONES SELF.-When a
crisis bcfalls yon, and the emergency
requires moral courage and noble man
hocd TO meet it, be equal 10 the require
.ncn,s of the moment, ard rise superior
10 the obstacles in your way. The
universal testimony of men whose ex-
pc;iencc exactly COMEDIES with yours.
furnishes the conso!ing reflection tia!
difficulties may be ende'i by opposition.
There is no blessing cqI,i to the POS
session Of n stont heart. The magni-
trdc Of the danger need; nothing more
than greater effort than ever at your
hand. If yoa prove recrcant in the
aour Of trial, you are the worse Of
recrcants, and deserve no compassion.
Be not dismayed nor unnamed when
you should be bold and during, unfinch-
ing and resolute. The cloud whose
threatening murmurs you hear with
fear and dread is pregnant with bless
ings, and the frown whose stcrnness
now makes You shudder and tremblr,
will ere long be succeeded by a smile Of
bewitching sweetness and bcni gnity.
Then be strong and manly, oppose equal
forces TO open difficulties, keep up a
stout heart, and trust in Providence.
Greatness can only be achieved by those
who are ,ried. The condition of that
achievement is confidence in ones self.

WHIPPING Horses.

There are persons who think that the
spirit and temper of horse must be
broken to make him valuable. Prof.
Wagner, in his work on the " Education
of Horses" says: al would caution

think they are doing finely, and are
proud of their success in horse training,
by means of s,rcrc whipping, or other
wise rousing and stimulating the pass
ions, and then, from necessity. crushing
the will through which resistance is
prompted. No mistake can be greater
than this and there is nothing that so
fully exhibits then bility, Judgment and
skill of real horsemer as the care and
tact displayed in winning. instead of re-
Polling, the action of the mind. Al
though if may be necessary 10 use the
whip sometimes, it should always be APP
Piled judiciously, and great care should
be taken not to rOuse the passions OF

"The legitimate and proper use of the
whip is calculated to operate upon the
sense of fear almost entirely. The af-

may be intended for the good of the

Thhis is vital principle, and can be dis

minent risk of spelling them. have
known many horses of naturally gentle
character to be spoiled by being whipped
once, and one horse that was made vic

while standing in his stall.
al have referred to these instances to
show the danger Of rough treatment, and
the effect that may be easily produced
by i'll usage, especially with the fine

might be cited, as such are by no means
uncommon. Sensitive horses should
never be left after they have been exclt-

something of which the animal is fond.
Remember, the whip must be used with

greatest imaginable enthusiasm.
Speeches were made by ex-Gov. P. @.
Hebert, General Geo. A. Sheridan,
Hon. Geo. A. Braughn, Hon. Thos. j..
Semmes and others, all in support of
the Liberal Republican movement,
and they were received with much
applause and approving demonstra-
ton by the immense crowd of people
who listened to them. This meeting
is said by the Times TO have been the
largest and most enthusiastic held in
New Orleans since the war.

The Leader argues that because a
portion of the evidence taken by the
New Orleans Congressional Investi-
eating Committee has been made
public that our charge that it had
been suppressed by President Grant
and his friends is proven false. Like
most the arguments Of our astnte
contemporary, this one will not hold
good. 1t is anthoritatiyely stated
that when the investigating commit
tee returned to Washington from
New Orleans the Republican mem
beers of it held q consultation with
President Grant, during which they
informed him that the evidence taken
reflected seriously upon the official
conduct of Collector Casey, and they
consequently recommended q change
in the Collectorshlp. Weeks after
the return of the committee, members
of it were asked what was the cause
of the delay in presenting their re-
port, and they laid the blame upon
the Government printer, who, they
said, had had all the manuscript in
his possession for some time. A re-
porter of the New York Tribune WIS.,
tied the public printing Office and
found that this was a positive mis-
Representations Now, is not this de-
ceit, coupled with the fact of Presi-
dent Grant having been told of the
character of the evidence against his
subordinate, yet fail to remove him,
proof sufficient that the committees
report was delayed by parties inter
ested and with the knowledge if not
active connivance of the President !
: Our decided conviction is that the re-
port was suppressed temporarily, and
would have been so permanently but
for the pressure of public opinion.
When we see evidence to the con-
trary that conviction will be altered ],
not until then.

It's very plain to us that the scrib-

to misrepresent us as often as possible,
or he is an ignoramus who does not

Casey's resignation being requested
by President Grant, the Leaders

our intention to question the Presi-

that his subordinates were guilty of
conduct that merited their removal

sional District. .

was unanimously adopted:

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-06-01
We copy the following paragraph
from the Leader of last Saturday:

That truthful paper, the CHIEF, states that
the Thibodaux Sentinel flies the names OF
Greeley and Brown. We failed tcsee It, 1t
favors the Cincinnati nominations strongly,
as nearly all tho Democratic Journals do but
it has not hoisted the name of Greeley as
vet. CHIEF, in the matter of truth you can
not be relied upon. We also fail 10 see the
name of Greeley in the State Register We
are inclined to think that other journals III
the list of last week was minus those names.
We mention this to our readers as lair
sample Of that sheets weakly aclsetment.
In reply to this, we have simply to
say that the CHIEF did not state that
either the Thibodaux Seatind or State
Register fly the names Of Greeley and
Brown. What we did say was that
both those journals support the
Cincinnati platform and ticket" and
reference to our issue of Nay 18th
will prove such to have been our lam
| guage. Thus it will be seen that, in
endeavoring to fasten d falsehood up
on us, the Leader has. uttered one it
self, either willfuhy or through an eg-
regrious blunder. If the latter be the
case, then it is pity some one can
mot be employed upon the editorial
staff who can comprehend the mean
ing of simple sentence written in
plain English. e
