FRED. DOUGLASS has again shown his
hatred of the white race. This time by the
most reckless and ill-mannered speech he
ever made. Office and its emolumeuts
have made him bold and he has spoken,
no doubt, his real opinion about the peo-
pie who suffer him to intrude himself
upon their society. No white man ought
10 countenance the impudeut mulatto
bastard. 1t is hoped the President may
be induced to remove Douglass from
office. As a private citizen he might
abuse the white people of Washington
with impunity; but as high official of
the government, receiving large pay, it is
an outrage that he should be allowed to
stigmatize those from whom he gets his
living in the manner he did in his lecture
in Baltimore. For the Democra ats who
went on his bond we have little pity.
Iney might have known that Douglass
lived upon his hate for the whites, and it
is only because of his emitting this ha-
tired against those in the South that he
got the office. The Southern people have
done more nvi the negro race than all
the world besite.

AT the Hayes reception in Phila adelphia
it was noticed that the politicians of Phil
adelphia were not present. This is sig
nifcant first, as bearing testir nony to
the absence OF The Philadelphia politi-
clans secondly, as substantially declar-
ing that the President was not bored by
Philadelphia statesmanship; thirdly, and
lastly, as indicating that the politicians
OF Philadelphia made special point of
staying away This was the cut direct,
and even Mr.. Hayes will not fail To under
stand it. Was it Camerons influence, or
was it the knowledge that Tilden was
the only man elected President in 1876 ?

ANUMBER OF enterprislng journals have
published maps of the seat of war, but the
american has just issued the largest and
worst map that we have seen. About
two-thirds of the middle portion of the
chart is occupied with what at first ap-
peared to be a rude diagram, life-size, of
one OF Mr.. Fulton's rubber shoes, with a
well-developed buniCn on top but on
inspection the shoe turns out to be the
Black Sea, and the bunion the sea of
Azof-at least large black type make this
announcement. All the land lying
around this vast overshee is white, with
an occG siona straight line that is intend
ed to typify road, and Lwiddling lines
that are emblematic of rivers but mas
much as the critical points of this cam
paign are in the mountain passes, the
mountains are omitted by particular re-
quest.-Bdit. Gazette.

THE TRIAL at New Castle of the ne
gro Rhodes for the murder of another
negro named Temple has occupied the
Court two days. Rhodes, when arrested,
admitted that he killed Temple, and
made a confession. He said he knocked
Temple down with piece of "slag" and
left him in the road; he then went back
and found knife by Temples side and
with it cut his throat. He said he killed
Temple in self-defence, that he feared
Temple would shoot him. Temple was
down and he saw him raise up on his
elbow, and fearing he would shoot he
went back and committed the act of cut
ting the throat from ear to ear. When it
is remembered that the deed was COM
mitted at night, and that it was very easy
for Rhodes to get out of the range Of the
pistol of Temple in the darkness, after
he had knocked him down with tie piece
of "slag," the story of self-defence seems
altogether an after-thought. To make
the matter more horrible the throat of
Temple was so horribly cut that only the
bones of the neck held the head to the
body. Some parts of the throat W ere cut
out and missing. Under the circum-
stances it is almost astonishing that
question could be raised as to guilt. So
tiendish an act certainly proves that no
one who could be guilty of it should be
allowed to be at liberty. INSTR 1ctively
the mind comes to the conclusion that
Temple, perhaps, the first victim, some
one else may be the next.
