FRED. DOU0LAss.-Dy the merest acci-
dent our citizens were afforded the pleasure
Of seeing and hearing the renowned colored
orator, Fred. Douglass, lat the court house on
last Thursday evening. Mr.. Douglass was
Oh bis way from Jacksonville, Ill.,, to Burling.
ton, Iowa, where he was to lecture on Fri
day evening. Taking this route compelled
him to lie over about six hours in this CITY.
1t was ascertained that he was unengagod for
Thursday evening, and upon solicitation OF
Mr.. II. W. Draper and others, Mr.. Douglass
consented to remain and lecture before our
people on that evening. An arrangement
for lecture by another gentleman on that
evening was happily compromised, and addi-
tional notice given. Notwithstanding the
extreme GOODNESS Of the temperature, the
court house was filled to its utmost capacity
by as intelligent an audience as ever greeted
lecturer in this part of the State.
Mr.. Douglass subject was Self Made Men.
From reviews Of the lecture In other papers
we infer that the speaker did not wholly con-
fine himself to his notes on this occasion, and
that the whole of his written lecture was not
delivered. But it was doubtless a happy
thought which led him to substitute for pOr-
tons Of the prepared lecture some incidents
OF his own life and struggles which had a
paramount interest for our people. In short,
the extemporized parts were of sufficient in.
terest to elicit the proloundest attention, and
so admirably delivered as to disabuse n cur.
rent impression in some quarters that Doug.
lass owes his reputation to somebody else's
brains. We can only add that all who heard
Mr.. Douglass were well pleased with the in.
tellectual treat afforded. Carthage Ull.) Re.

The New Ramsay Senator.

Even II Mr.. ingalls,. Senator Poineroy's
successor, was not a party to the conspiracy
which resulted In his election. it Is doubtful
il the State has gained anything, either
morally or intellectually, by the change,
while It seer.s certain that the Republican
party has lost much politically. The wyan.
dottc (kan.) Gazette, though Republican
paper, was opposed to Mr. Pomeroy's re-
election. Butt; is far from satisfied with his
successor, as 1t has reason to be If its sketch
Of his political views is correct. OfMr. In
gals it says January 3lst;
John J. Ingalls, is one of the last men in
Kansas We should have selected for United
States Senator, had the choice been left to Us.
Ous principal objections to him grow out of
his mode Of doing business. "a in procuring

PAPER, in much the same manner that Scna-
tor Pomeroy proposed TO secure Senator
Iorke's vote, and OF our knowledge, OBJ
tanned from his own lips, that his views of
political economy are Of the ScburZ, Trum.
bull, revenue reform, free trade Democratic
school, rather than the Republican protective
tariff Kind
"On the other hand, John James Is So
Sial, cultivated gentleman, who wields a pen
and wags tongue tina, the devil himself need
not be ashamed OF trying to get out of the
way %, and who can make his way In the
Senate in very ceniccl, not to say hau2hty
aud ar!stccratc manner, without asking the
advice Of Mrs. G-undy or Ward Buriinssmc.
As long as We have got John on our hands
10: six years, we must DO the best we can
with him, aud, if possible, cure him of bis
tad tricks, and make Liia Il good, honest,

Joined in the march to the sea-" partici-

reelected three years later By reduced ma
jority over Asa Packer, and retired from his
official duties as recently as the Goth ult.,
when Gen. IIartranft came into Office. Gov,
Geary's popularity had waned very much
during his second term, although he still
numbered many ardent adhcrents.

Thursday from the First PRESBYTERIAN Church

designate, the remains will lie in state at the
Capitol. The funeral will be under the

Russia and England.
VIII England Fight

n LONDON letter in the New Y DIRK Tribune,
discussing the threatened trouble between
England and Russia says:
A great part Of British strength in India
depends on prestige. England not only must
not i've way there before Russia or any other
Power; She must not seem to give way.
And that is where the mistake has been
made about English purpose to fight and
readiness TO eight. She has no purpose to
tight any more wars Of the stupid Crnean
kind. But she is not merely nor mainly an
insular Power; she is an Empire, stretching
over a great part Of the globe, and her Im-
peria! power rests on India in this sense, that
ii she cannot keep India, she cannot keep
anything. Now her people have, in my
Judgment, no mind to surrender India, or to
recede from the Imperial position India gives
them. l have not the smallest doubt they
would fight sooner than recede. Probably
they ought to havo fought for Denmark in
1854 for kindred's sake, but the English peo-
ple on the whole did not care to. II they
had thought it worth their while as an I'm
perial Power, they would certainly have
fought, spite Of the ascendancy Of the Man.
chester school in politics. Other; European
peoples said then and said again in lS70-7l
reasoning on the plain reluctance Of Eng
land to enter into quarre!s which once she
would have taken up promptly-England
will fight no more, unless in actual defence
Of her island homo, but the mistake was
in surprising Englishmen had fallen Oil in
lighting quality or lighting temper. There
has been n change, but not OF that kind.
EDglishmen, l believe, are as ready as ever
