MR.. FREDERICK DOUGLASS AS
USHER.

The Senate has laid over the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Frederick Douglass.
This is inconsistent; for Mr.. Hayes
has in this respect, as in some others,
reduced republican theories to prac-
tice. And while certain democrats
of:the old school may revolt at it, we
do not see how any honest republican
can refuse to receive Mr.. Douglass
upon terms of the strictest equality.
Mr.. Hayes has appointed him to an
Office which will bring him, as it were
into the bosom of the presidential
family, knowing that he will be a
model master of ceremonies, and that
he will be, owing to his gift Of elo-
quence. especially useful to Mr.. Hayes
when speeches are to be made. If
Mrs. Hayes does not object to the ap-
pointment we do not see why repub-
lican senators should. We do not
credit the report that Mr.. Frederick
Douglass will be relieved of that por.
tion of his official duty which re-
quires him TO act as grand usher,
chamberlain or seneschal at the white.
house receptions. On the contrary,
consistency requires that he should
perform these duties, and, if need be,
commit the routine work of his office
to the care of white subordinate. 1t
is custom that has almost the force
of law that the marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia shall receive the
visitors of the President on state oc-
casiors and introduce them. Mr..
Douglass is eminently fitted for his
duty. He has a striking and distin,
guished appearance and urbane man
ners. He is a man of note, accustomed
to see crowded assemblages throb and
pulsate under his eloquence; and his
port and mien are those of the grand
school. Mr.. Hayes need not blush fol
him when he receives his visitors and
conducts them into the royal presence
he might, on the other hand. feel q
pride IN pointing to him as anexpon
ent of the possibilities of the African
race under happy conditions. 1t woulC
be adenial of the equality of the whit,
, and African races, which is the cor
: ner.stone Of the Republican party
= should MIR. Hayes exclude Mr.. Freder
e lex Douglass from his ceremonial du
ties at the White House, and refus
him share in its social institutions
The chief doubt would seem to be no
whether Mr.. Douglass is or is not 80
cially and educationally qualified 70
t the post, but that he, having been SCI
S iously spoken of as candidate for tn
presidency, should now condescend t
act on ceremonial occasions as ushe
and so sit be low the salt. If MI
Douglass is willing to serve in this ca
pacity Mr.. Hayes could hardly fail t
avail himself Of the distinction
would give TO his state reception, :
= Bait. Gazette,
The daily gazette., 1877-03-17

President Hayes was good enough to
inform Senator Gordon and Senator La
mar on Thursday night that he had "six
hundred Offices to fill before he could
find time to let the people of Sonth Caro-
lima and Louisiana know whether they
are to consider themselves as peers or vas
sails. He sent in fine batch of names
to the Senate yesterday, and perhaps it
may be well for anxious citizens to "keep
tally' of his work, so that the country
may knowwhen to expect its salvation at
his hands.
