CANDIDATES.

Among the numerous candidates
for the Office of Recorder of Deeds
for the District of Columbia, are
Mr.. w. H. Smith, assistant libra
rian at the capital, who declares
that he will be appointed, and has
gone so far as to have feast over
his assurance of obtaining the ap-
pOintment.
Mr.. Fred. Douglass, Senior, for
merIy United States Marshall un-
der Mr.. Hayes, and subsequently
Recorder of Deeds under President
Garfield and one year under Mr..
Cleveland. He has written a long
letter to the President asking for
the appointment, because, he says
that Mr.. Cleveland removed him.
Mr.. Douglass was given his own
time to resign and i'm his letter to
MIR. Cleveland he stated that he
had been given his own time. The
opinion of the colored leaders OF
this country is that Mr.. Douglass
is rather selfish, while there are
other men who are thought more
of in the estimation of the Ameri.
can negro than Mr.. Douglass, aud
the sooner the white people are
convin ced that Mr.. Douglass does
not represent the negro the better
it will be for the republican party.
Mr.. p. III. Carsol also asserts
that he will be appointed Recorder,
and his friends are confident that
he and Mr.. Douglass are the only
names that are being considered
by the President.
Prof. j. M. Gregory, of Howard
University, is another candidate,
but has said nothing about wheth
er he will succeed or not.

ScratCh-Tame sort of a Duel.

ATLANTA, GA, August 12.-Pat Cal
houn returned to Atlanta yesterday, and
|. II. Williamson is in Rome. Governor
Scav, of Alabama, has announced his in
tcntiun of demanding the extra iition Of
the duelists. Gov. Gordon, of Georgia
saws he will honor the rciuiSition. As
the duel was fought on the State line,
there is Just uncertainty enough about it
to raise Il troublesome question of juris
diction. 1t is not Certa that the spot
could be identified, as the parties got of
in the dark to fight the duel, and hastily
left the ground.
CHATTANOOGA, Tcun., August 12.-The
duel between ]. y. Williamson and Pat
LalhOun took place ahOlt twenty miles
west of Rome, Ga, on the Rome and De
catur railroad, very near, if not upon,
the State line of Alabama and Georgia.
The duclists were placed in position
twelve PAGES apart, i'll dense timber, and
at 7.3O, when it was Just dark, the order
to fire five shots in succession was given,
and ultancOusly both pistols went off.
Williamson, in a jily, cmpticd his re-
volvcr, but Calhoun fired only ono shot
being unable to handle the weapon. The
pistols were thirtv-cight caibrc, hammer
less, Scli-acting Smth& 4 Wesson. Neither
one was hit, and Calhoun then com
mcnccd to parlcy with Williamson, telling
him that he had right To shoot. He said
he didn't want to kill his opponent, and
il he would rctract, he would fire his pistol
in the air. Williamson claimed the right
to have his pistol reloaded; but this
was not agreed to by the seconds. He
said he would die in his tracks before he
would rctract, unless Calhoun would
withdraw his offensive language. After
some more parIying, during which, Viii
hanson requested Calhoun to fire as he
wanted his reloaded, Calhoun stated
that he had no intention OF rejecting per
Sonally upon Williamson in his speech
before the legislative committee.
kttrr this statement, Williamson with
drew his cpithct. and the gun was
fired into the air, and the principals
shook hands, the seconds drew the formal
papers, stating that the quarrel had
been honorahly adjusted, and peace
rrigucd supreme. Why neither of the
principals were hit is remarkable, both
men being good shots. 1t can probably
he accounted for bv the fact that it was
dark, and that only the outlines of each
were visible. There is no question but
that both shot to kill.
