Fred Douglass, the recently appoint
ed marshal of the District of Columbia,
has offended the respectable people of
Washington, by lecture upon the
Washirgtonians, delivered in Baltimore
few days ago. He characterizes the
Washington people as set Of swind-
lers, SC. The ire of the citizens of the
Capital was aroused and petitions pray
ing for his removal received thousands
of signatures. But it is all to no pur-
pose. Fred is the fortunate instrument
of demonstrating to the thousands of
colored voters. that Hayes really loves
the negro. The colored man is to be
an important factor in the new party
which is, in the Imagination of the
chief Executive, to draw it's support
and nourishment from conservatives
Democrats and Conservative Republic
cans.
This golden mean which r. B. has
discovered with the negro as its cen tral
support and fanked on either side by
the dissatisfied elements of the two great
parties, SENS destined to be the grand
achievement of the presidents political
life. Upon its success, depends the
reputation Of Mr.. Hayes, as pollti-
clan.

SNAKEIN LADY's. sLEEvn.-0n
Friday night last, in returning from
Howe's Circus, Miss Rebecca Taylor
felt something winding itself around her
arm, She put her hand in her sleeve
and felt the head Of a snake. She at
once cried out in alarm, and attracted a
crowd around her. Upon Investigation
the intruder proved to be a large gray
snake, and before the reptile could be
removed wrapped itself around her
waist. The gentlemen in the crowd
finally succeeded in uncoiling and kill
ing it. The snake had evidently made
its escape from one OF the side-shows at
the circus. The young lady was not
injured. -Rtc4mond Wing.

New ORLEANS, May ll.-Ex-Gov.
Packard tonight sent the following dis
patch to Senator Blame:
''The overthrow of the lawful State
government was appropriately celebrat-
ed to-day. Detachments Of the army
and navy of the United States partici-
pated with the white league of Alaba-
ma and Louisiana in this celebration Of
democratic success. Did poetic justice
require that the honors of this achieve
ment should be thus equally divided in
the absence of commission? The gray
was accorded the post of honor to the
blue and asked no apology. The Gus
tom house and postoffice are closed in
admiration of the event. 1t is probable
that United States interference will not
be required hereafter.

The Change In South Carolina.

The Cincinnati Commercial has a
correspondent in Columbia, S. c., the
well-known H. V. Rsdfield, who APP
pears to be watching events there un-
der democratic rule. This veteran re-
publican reports the State more quiet
and peaceable than he has known it be-
fore since reconstruction. The Legis-
lature is making thorough Inyestiga-
tons, and Twill find enough fraud to
sicken the nation" What must be the
character and extent ofrascalities which
will make the nation sick after such ex-
periences as it had under the late adj
ministration One of the illustrative
robberies in South Carolina was the
appropriation Of $1,000 for pictures OF
Lincoln and Sumner, which was drawn
from the treasury to build new house
for the chairman appointed to get the
paintings. While Mr.. Redfeld finds
the democrats resolved never to allow
the republicans in power again. he con-
fesses that this fierce antagonism IS
not without cause" THE career OF
the republican party here" he says,
''has been libel upon civilization. Its
rule has been imbec;lity and robbery.
Offices and public trusts 'vere bought
and sold without shame. The Legisla-
ture was little less than a den of
thieves This is the testimony of an
old-time republican and John Brown
abolitionist. And yet there are repub-
licans who are aenouncing Mr.. Hayes
and threatening to break the valuable
necks Of their own party in sundry re-
publican States because the President
refuses to sustain this ''den of thieves"
by the military power of the federal
government.

We are 10th to believe that President
Hayes has appointed John Z. King,
Collector of the Port Of this city, with
the serious intention Of having him
confirmed by the Senate. Those
| familiar with the relationship existing
between Judge King and Tom Ander-
son, and the utter incapaeity of the
ent's appointee to discharge the
duties Of the Office, will readily perceive
that the appointment is designed not as
a recognition Of any merit OF claim Of
Mr.. King. but as reward for the ser.
vices rendered by the Returning Board,
OF which Tom Anderson was one Of the
leading instruments, and for whose
benefit this office is really intended.

The twenty-five mile race at the
/ Oakland I'rotting Park near San Fran
cisco, California. on the LIST instant.
between Major Pico and J. P. Smith,
was won by the former by nearly a
mile and a-quarter. The conditions
were that each should use five horse,
and 70 change without assistance at the
end Of each mile. Some weeks ago the
same men rode race of fifty miles,
which Smith won by having better
mounts and his qllickness in changing;
but at twenty-five miles he was out
horsed from the start, and was never in
the lead after the SECOND mile. The
winner rode the twenty-five miles in one
hour and five minutes.

nonors to the Fraudulent President.

/
1t is officially announced that the
President.of the United States is to be
entertained at the banquet of the Cham.
Der of Commerce on Monday next
This banquet was to have taken place
at an earlier date, and many members
Of the Chamber procured tickets fol
that time; but it was postponed, and Is
now to be converted into a means Of
reeognIzing and supporting the claims
ofMr. Hayes. OF course, those who
hold such tickets should have the privi
lege returning them.
Mr.. Hayes occupies the Office Of Presi
dent, yet he was not elected to it.; an(
he occupies it through frauds of the
grossest and most outrageous descrip.
| ton. These frauds were Of three
classes. They were committed in the
| election they were committed in the
voting of the electoral colleges; an6
they were committed in the action Of
the electoral tribunal which counted Mr.
Hayes in as President.
Whoever attends the banquet and
joins in the recognition paid to Mr..
Hayes as President on such an occasion
thereby certifies his own approval Of
fraud. Every such man declares that,
in his opinion cheating is better than
honesty; every such man proclaims
that cheating in elections is a legiti-
mate mode ofgetting high Office; that
cheating in the counting Of votes is a
eommendable proceeding; and that
cheating in the final declaration Of the
election, especially when practised by
an unconstitutional tribunal, is also
worthy Of praise and imitation. What
is more, every such man proclaims and
declares that be not only approves Of
such frauds, but that he desires them to
be repeated in future elections for
President; and, in short, that he pre-
1 fers that no President should ever be
really elected hereafter.
Every citizen is entitled to his own
opinions and those who wish to show
honor to Mir. Hayes, and to the sue
cessful frauds by which he now figures
as President, have legal right to do
so. But letno one join in this act
without full understanding Of what he
intends and what he does and, above
all, let no merchant Of New York put
himself forward as adoring fraud and
admiring power so acquired without
carefully considering the subject and
fully making up his mind that he wishes
to assume such an attitude.
It is true this is a political question,
but it is also something more. 1t is a
question affecting morals, religion,
character, everything that tends TO
establish distinction setween honesty
and dishonesty. We take it for certain
that no self-respecting Democrat viii be
seen at this banquet; and tits equally
certain that no Republican will be there
1 who fully appreciates the sanctity Of
the commandment. thou shalt not
steal.-Nelc Toyk Snn.

President Hayes is taking good care
of his Ohio friends. He refuses to fol-
low Grants example in reserving the
best appointments for his relatives, but
he certainly evinces deep apprecia-
ton Of the claims Of his own state. But
with all this, the RAIDS are badly scared
and fear that it will be impossible to
keep the Buckeye state from going
democratic.

ILLNESS OF GEN. GRANT.

Ex-President Grant, on leaving the
exhibition to-day, was driven to the
Union League House, as the guest OF
that body. On the way he was taken
sick, and was compelled to stop and
take dose of quinine. Reaching the
league he was taken with chill and
lay in blankets for nearly three-quarters
of an hour. Upon recovering he was
taken to carriage and driven to Mr.
Paul's residence. His condition would
not warrant his attending the reception
to the President, asst was his purpose
to do, in the evening.

about to take some measures to assist
their brethren in Russia, who will be
