changes and causes for the same in the plans
of the Dolphin, Boston, Atlanta and Chi
cago also as to the present condition of the

Fred DougIass's Successor.
The President has nominated James c..
Matthews, colored lawyer of Albany, N.
Z, to succeed Fred Douglass as Register of
Deeds of the District of Columbia.
The District Democrats are very angry at
the appointment The President is assailed
by the District Democrats because he has
violated the pledge of the party platform in
not appointing a resident of the District and
because he has appointed negro. The
N - ashington Post opposes the appointment.
The New York Irish Democrats are not
better satisfied. Tim Campbell the Demo-
cratic member from Brooklyn, when he
heard of the appointment of Matthews, ex-
claimed. What, another bloody nagur. To
- with the Irish seems to be the policy of
the administration" The office of Recorder
of Deeds pays over $4,000 per annum There
are quite a number of eligible colored resi-
dents of this city capable to succeed Mr..
Douglass, and as the President had made up
his mind to appoint a colored man to the
position, the colored Democrats of this city
who had their eye on the position are very
much disappointed. The New York Irish
Democrats have received no appointments.
