FRAGMENTS.

The latest craze among the people, is
the ''camp-meeting craze The sole OBJ
ject of these meetings seem to DC tinan-
ciai, and apparently, no thought is given
TO the saying of souls. This H. somewhat
difficult to understand, especially when
gotten up i'll the nane of the church Out
of all the meetings here, not one can sing,
truthtully, I've been redeemed About
twenty of our people went to Decatur on
last Thursday TO witness the big day with
the Odd Fellows who had been holding a
convention at that place. Every one of
them speak well of the hospitality of her
citizens. Mr.. j III. Mosely weht to Niaga-
ra Falls last week. While East, he will
visit New York City, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and other large cities. Mr.. Fred
Wyche met a surprise on his return from
the Niagara excursion: some one had. un-
kindly, dispossessed him of his $45 cor
net and made their escape. Rev. Clark,
goes to Miner next week, 10 open a four
days camp-meeting: he will be accompa-
MED by his famous jubilee singers and al
so 'Brudder' Young, who will furnish
plantation songs with his melodious voice
Miss Almeda Cninn met with serious
accident at a picnic Oh Wednesday: She

The appointment of Col. j. H.

der General to succeed Gen. Reece,
who was appointed Adj. General,
is a deserving recognition of his
qualifications, and Il his superior
fitness for the position. No better
selection could have been made, and
it has met with general favor, both
in civic and military circles. The

Of praise of their new commander,

MINISTER DOUGLAS RESIGNS.

The long expected resignation of
Hon. Friedrich Douglas as Minister
to Hayti has at last been made
public. We have no doubt that it
will be accepted. Mr.. Douglas
says he informed the President at
the time of his appointment and
again year ago that he would
give up the position at,this time.
Mr.. Douglas feels keenly the criti-
clsms Of the press of his failure as
q diplomat and charges the unfavor;
able results Of this governments
negotiations with Hayti for the
lease Of the Mole St. Nicholas to
our Minister'S apathy or even pro-
nounced opposition.
We have already discussed this
question in these columns and
nothing has transpired nor no new
evidence brought to light which
alters the conviction held by US at
that time-that Minister Douglas
was wholly blameless and if there
were any blame to be attached it
should be to the State Department,
which ignored Mr.. Douglas, the
accredited representative of this
government to Hayti and entrusted
the negotiations to Admiral Cher
ardi. Why should Mr.. Douglas be
held responsible tor the failure of
Admiral Gherardi or Secretary
Blaine's department?
1t is now semi-officially announc-
ed that white man will be ap-
pointed as successor to Minister
Douglas, because the Haytians
would accord more consideration to
such representative. In an inter
view Mr.. Douglas shows the taIIa-
~ of this premise and intimates
hat white man would do no bet
-er because of his color, and might
10 much worse. We hope the
President will make no such mis-
AXE.
The Ministry to Hayti is the
1est position usually accorded to
he colored voters and they will be
disposed to insist upon retaining it.
When the administration con-
ents to send a colored man as
linister to England, we shall be
perfectly content to see white
nan sent as Minister to Hayti. (,

The newspaper charges made against
Hon b. X. Bruce, relative to his rumor-

come out in lengthy card denying in
it all charges. He also vigorously de-
nies the charges that he endeavored to
secure for his wife an appoint
ment as one of the lady mem
bers of the board Of managers of the
Worlds fair. It is no more than lust,
perhaps, that we give credence to Mr.

knowledge of things that be, we are
forced to admit that the Recorders de-
