The sudden death Of Frederick
Douglas, the foremost negro
in America, NOT by deserts but
by the combination Of fortuitous
cces,-occurred at his
home in Washington, d. c., We'd
nesday night, and yesterday the
Rep-Pop-Fusion House Of Repre-
sentatives of the General AS
sembly of North Carolina ad-
ourned in his honor.
Fred Douglas as every one
knows, was a mulattO. who was
born a slave, but ran away at the
age of 21 and made good his
escape to New York. He had
acquired a pretty fair education
in his slavery days, which aided
him in engineering his escape
and helped him in his thus
acquired freedom to gain no.
toriety. He leaped into prom
inence at one bound-at an anti
slavery meeting in Nantucket in
1871, where he made a speech,
and delivered himself with such
force and venom against the
South that he was at once en-
ployed by the Massachusetts
Anti Slavery League" to take
the lecture field in behalf of the
emancipation movement, that
eliminated in the war between
the States.
After the war Douglas pressed
himself into the field Of politics,
with his past prestige ID give
him force, and was made secre-
tary of the San Domingo Com
mission, in 1871, under President
Grant; and in 1872 he was one OF
the Republican Presidential cleo
tors Of New York.
Subsequently he was for mum
Der of years, until the Republi-
cans went out Of power, Regis.
ter of Deeds for the District Of
Columbia, and while incumbent
of that Office married a white wo-
man.
When President Harrison came
into power he made Douglas U,
| S. Minister to Hayti.
This is the record in brief ot
the man who, though a negro
himself, eschewed his own race
and attempted to promulgate
amaigamation, by marrying {
white wife:-this is the man
neither fish nor.fowl, as to race
but very foul always in his
abuse of the South, in whose
'honor" the lower House
of the General Assembly O.

ity vote Of it's Rep-Pop fusio1

Miscegenation Endorsed,

Several weeks ago a PROPOSE
ton was made in the General
Assembly to adjourn in honor of
Robert e. Lee, on the occasion
of his birthday. This resolution
was voted down, although by en-
actment of a prior Legislature
Gen. Lees birthday is a public
holiday in the State, and the
public buildings are closed on
that day
Yesterday resolution was in
troduced to adjourn until 10
o'clock on Saturday in order to
pay respect to the memory of
George Washington, whose birth
day is also legal holiday. This
was voted down.
At the same session that the
resolution to adjourn in honor of
Washington was voted down, the
following resolution, introduced
by Crews, colored, of Granville,
was adopted:
WHEREAS, The late Frederick
Douglass departed this life on
the 20 inst; and whereas, we
greatly deplore the same; now,
therefore,
ResolUed. That when this House
adjourn, it adjourn in respect to
the memory of the deceased.
These three dates-the birth
of Lee, the birth of Washington,
and the death of Douglass are
compassed in one month. This
General Assembly, deliberately
and after debate, voted down the
resolutions to honor the memory
Of the Father of his country, and
Robt. E. Lee, who, with Grant,
was among the heroes of Che
| pultapec, and the commander OF
the armies of the South, but put
on record, in the journals Of the
! House, a resolution of adjourn
ment Sin respect to the memory
of Frederick Douglass, .
/ This action is equivalent Le
saying:
j Washington
| Douglas
these three, but the greatest o
: these is
Douglas.
This action, more correctl,
than any other official proceeding
, of this Legislature, shows tn
spirit of this body.

How 1t Took In Washington.

w WASHINGTON, ID. C,, Feb. 22.-
No North Carolinian failed to-
day to have the Frederick Doug
las adjournment incident hurled
at him with scorn from Republi-
cans as we'll as Democrats. Most
North Carolinians derived politi-
cal comfort from the incident.
Our Representatives thus ex-
pressed themselves
Mr.. Alexander: They struck
at US all at breakfast"
Mr.. Branch. Good. It gives
me no worse opinion Of them
than I had"
Mr.. Bum: Just what might
have been expected. A bid for
the negro vote. A complete sur
render to the Republicans.
Mr.. Crawford: "The unexpected
happens with people who pro
pose to do things better than
other people have ever done
them"
Mr.. Henderson: ga step in ad
vance of what the Republicans Of
1868 would have taken"
Mr.. Woodard: '.Simply ridicu
lous. Who would have though
even a Republican Legislature
would have honored Fred Doug
las, while refusing to honol
Washington and Lee?"

STANDS BY HIS PRINCIPLES.

1t is a very common thing for
representatives in Congress to
be told that if they do this or do
not do that they cannot be re-
elected.
This game has been tried on
Hon. Sam Clark, editor of the
Keokuk, Ia, Gate City.
Mr.. Clark met the threat as
every man of convictions should.
He was elected to Congress
last fall and a few days ago a
brother editor warned him that
he would be a one term congress
man if he did not favor free
silver.
Mr.. Clark promptly replied
that he did not intend to trouble
himself about the effect of his
conduct on his political future.
The people of the district were
we'll aware of his views on the
coinage question when they
elected him and when they want
an exponent Of different views
as their representative they can
get him. Mr.. Clark said further,
that free silver coinage means in
inevitably a dollar worth only
about 49 cents, and he will not
as representative of the people
consent that they shall be swim
died out Of the larger half O.
each dollar for the benefit of any
speculator.
IF the people Of the first dis
trict," said he, want to poune
me to death politically for tina
they can do it, but they canno
change my convictions.
On Mr.. Clark's manly state
ment the New York E0e1aing Pos
, makes the following apt com
ment:
''It is refreshing to find Con
} gressman who is not afraid t,
talk in his own straightforward
way. The free coinage foil,
: would never have reached it
present dimensions if those rep
; resentatives of the people VIII
knew what a humbug and frau
} it was had told the truth abou
it.

Have Disgraced the State.

Charlotte Observer.
The lower house of the Gener-
al Assembly adjourned Thursday
in honor OF Frederick Douglas,
colored, who died Wednesday
evening The action was taken
upon a resolution introduced by
the colored member from Gran
vile, and the vote was 81 to 90,
all the Democrats voting no.
Douglas was a man of high
ability. aud the colored race held
him in high and proper esteem.
His intellectually commanded
for him a large measure of re-
speot from the white people of
the South, but there was moth
ing in his life or public services.
nothing in the view he took and
expressed freely of the South
and Of Southern people, to sug-
gest the adjournment of the
Legislature OF a Southern State
in his honor when he died.
But this action derives its prin-
cipal significance from what pre-
ceded it. However i'll it might
be regarded if viewed alone, it
shall not be looked at by itself
but in connection with preceding
events. What? These That
a resolution to adjourn to-day, in
recognition of Washington s
birthday, had just been voted
down; that on the 10Th Of Janua-
ry, before there was any claim
that the work of the session was
pressing, the Legislature refused
to adjourn for the birthday o1
| Gen. Robert E. Lee.
These are the facts, all inter
wined, which we press upon the
consideration of the people o.
North Carolina The House re
fused to adjourn in honor of Geo
! Washington; refused to adjourn
in honor of Robert E. Lee; ad
journed in honor OF Fredericl
Douglas.

A MuIatto Miscegenationist Great
er than WashinSto Afri-
can Crops Out as the Domi-
nant Factor in Fusion.

What is Hecuba to me and [
to Hecuba that I should weep for
her?" Who was Fred Douglass?
A mulatto slave, who won his
freedom by fleeing from his mas
ter in Maryland, and was after
wards lionized because he had
intelligence and a certain sort of
eloquence that enabled him to
tell the awful story of slavery.
President Hayes appointed him
Recorder of Deeds for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and he availed
himself. of his place to marry a
white woman who was a clerk in
his Office.
We would not willingly forget
the old adage, that we should
say nothing but good in refer
ence to the dead. But we would
be recreant to the Anglo Saxon
race, unmindful Of our sacred

country if we should remain 81

The Climax of Infamy.

The action of the House in pass
ing a resolution that when it adj
journed it should do so out of re-
spect to Fred Douglas land his

ton in every part Of the country.
We can understand how it should
excite surprise everywhere ex-
cept in North Carolina, but it
ought not to have occasioned any
surprise or CONSERVATION here.
In fact it ought to have been ex-
pected. 1t was only logical Sc
quence to the other acts of this
Legislature. 1t began by kick
ing out one-legged, ex-Confed-

nate place under the negro,

but for his extreme poverty. 1t

Let Lees Day be National Ii oliday.
The suggestion is being made
in some Northern papers that
the birthday Of Abraham Lincoln
be made a national holiday. This
suggestion is in the way of a
tribute to an American who was
made famous by the great civil
war. His best qualities were
given prominence by that tre-
mendOuS conflict.
When Congress takes up this
bill. however, it will be in order
for some Southern Congressman
to amend by inserting after the
name of Abraham Lincoln the
name of Robert E. Lee,
We may hear objection to this,
perhaps, from Ohio and Maine.
These will be as contemplate as
the men who make them. What
is the object of national holidays
on the anniversaries of the birth
of great men? Such a1e meant
not only as tributes to the illus
trious dead but as lessons tC
coming generations who can be
| benefited by their examples.
The life of Lee affords such al
example, as we'll as the life O
Lincoln. Furthermore the max
ing of national holiday must bt
the work, not of the people O
one section, but of the entire
country, 1t must be by the voice
of the people Of this time and no
by the voice of the people Of ou
civil war time. If Illinois anC

day, then Virginia and what wa

tribute to Lincoln, then the Soutl

like tribute to its Lee. e.-Richnlon
