WASHINGTON, January 26.-Fred. Doug
lass marriage with strong.minded white
female by the name Of Pitts, has gone
through the colored people like electricity,
and disposed OF him as their national
mouth-piece just as Hewitt's skullduggery
about the 0'Donneli resolution made way
with him as Presidential possibility.
P. Hewitt, an iron menger and protec-
ZIONIST was willing to forego his beliefs, to
give his ambition scope, and went over
from Randall to join in the hurrah on the
Carlisle side. He wanted to poise as
model whose patriotism lowered above his
personal interests. Then he bethousht
him of the Irish vote in New
York and their sympathy, and brought
out the o Donuell resolution, after passing
1t around the House to have it scrutinized
and toned down by the dudes. After 1t
was put on its way, he crawled up to the
British Ministers house in the company Of
a poodle with an eye glass, and begged that
his action wouldn't be regarded as person
ally hostile to the British lions caudsl eI-
tremity.
Irish oner0sity.
No appeal was ever made in vain 10 the
heart Of an Irishman. In every land under
the heavens Is written, in characters
of living light, the record OF Irish generosi-
ty and heroism-how they have lost all 1t
may be, except their faith and love OF
country; how they have fought, success.
fully, the battles OF every nation except
that Of their own stricken land-that land
OF sadness and OF sorrow, disconsolate, like
Niobe in tears, whose heart is crushed,
whose harp is broken. The sympathy OF
this generous, impulsivs people is what
Mr. Hewitt wanted.
Facilis Dcscensus Avernf.
How easy it is to send ones self to perdi.
ton, politically or any other way, This
one little turn OF Peter Cooper's son in.law
has undone him, and the more he explains
the worse off he gets. See how little 1t
takes to do away with big ambitions.
Fred Douglass.
Douglass held the United s!es Marshal
ship OF the District of Columbia during
Hayes admins tration. He gave very lit.
tie attention to the Office and its business,
leaving the work in the hands OF his de-
putty, J.. p. Williams, q hard working,
faithful man who held over under Gar.
fields friend, Henry and until McMichael
came in. One or two Of Douglass boys did
odd Jobs around the old mans office, and
got good pay!

II Is very great in many lines. He is
good moraiizer in question Of races, and no
Ii tile of philosopher. His style is fervid
and eloquent.

Douglass for Yeas, has been the Moses
OF his people, leading them, whenever he
CT uld, out uf darkncss and ignorance; out
in far oil SOFT Of way, repulsiye to the
ctrn.feld darkey who took no stock in the
style Douglass lived and feared, thinking
ali thst "hifallulion." The better intelli-
gence OF the race. however, conceded TO
him toe place OF leader and speaker. He
is the ablcst, by oil odds, OF his color, Bruce
being far below in all Things.
The shermaas.
Wi lam Sherman, the honorable man
and soldier, frankly disav0ws any wish for
the Presidency There is vast deal to be
said in favor OF this candid. upright, honest
man. And his example has always been
healtLful, from his early career up.
