DOUGLASS NO DELEG ATE.
The Aged Hero DeIhrOned by a
Convention OF His Raee---Seri-
Gus Charges Made against Rim.
spsciaI to the Courisr.yOurpal.

WASHINGTON, July l2.-Fred Doug
lass did not anticipate the attacks
that were made on his reputation at
the colOred convention Tuesday night.
1t is said he would have failed to get
majority vote Of the convention
declaring him delegate to the
Louisville convention, had not his
supporters gone into a condemnation
to insure his success. The
points made against Douglass were,
that be had never cared as much for
the eolored people as was generally
believed, and though he had kept
himself and the various members of
his family steadily in Office for the
past seventeen years, be had never
worried himself to secure Offices OF
any kind Tor other colored people:
that he had never done anything for
the eolored race and that he, with
others, served as commissioners to San
Domingo on an errand which, if it had
been successful, meant not only the
slavery of the natives but a slavery
much severer than the colored people
had ever experienced in this country;
that the time for old men had passed
and that young men had to take the
hrst places. When the convention
adjourned at midnight last night
charges we're freely made that there
had been niscount of the votes, and
that FL. c. Quincy, and not Douglas,
had been elected a delegate. There
vas no question but that Rev. r. s.
Laws and Professor Gregory, OF How
ard University, had been elected
The Chairman declared the result, and
in almost the same instant declared
the convention adjourned.
To day the Secretary Of the Conven-
ton, William II. Chase at the request
Of majority OF the delegates, issued a
call fer another Convention on Mon.
day next, and declaring that there was
no election last night. This opens the
whole thing, aud unless Mr.. Douglass
friends work for him very hard during
the intervening time, the indications
are that Mr.. Douglass will not be a
delegate to the Louisville Convention.
Both Laws and Gregory, it is said favor
a new Convention.
