Appointed Minister to Haiti.

After this he became recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, from which office he was removed by President Cleve land in 1886. In the autumn of that year he revisited England to inform the friends whom he had made while fugitive slave of the progress of the African race in the United States. After his return to the United States he was appointed minister to Haiti by President Harrison in 1889. He was sent to Hayti in a United States man-of-war.
 Ho arrived in Haiti on the Sth of Octo- Der. 1889, just as the country was emerg. ing from ono of the most exciting revolu. tions that it had witnessed for years. The government existing upon his arrival was simply provisional, and even after the new president took office there was some delay in the arrival and presentation of his ere dentials. These circumstances gave rise in the United States to persistent rumors that the Haitian government had refused to receive Mir Douglass on account of his color. This was authoritatively denied. however, and Mir, Douglass was finally warmly received.

veaith's Attorney and other Offices

BERRYVILLE, VA, March 20.-(Spe-
cial)-The crop of candidates for the va
rious Offices TO be filled in this county
al the coming spring election promises TO
be an unusually large one, judging from
tn cards of announcements published in
our county paper and being scattered
broadcast among the voters. An eXcep-
tlonally large number seem willing and
anxious to serve in public Office, and the
contest promises TO be a lively one, es-
pecally for the Offices OF Commemorative
Attorney. County Treasurer. and Com
missioner of the Revenue. For the first
named Office there are already four In the
field-F. b. Whiting. the present Com
monwealths Attorney: Charles NJ. Brown.
Blackburn Smith, and w. T. Lewis-all
active. energetic young men, and each
equally determined to win. The contest
for this office promises TO be very hoty
carried on, the candidates having been
quietly endeavoring for a year past 10
get into the good graces of the voters. and
lately have gone to work in earnest TO
carry on an active campaign from this
time until the day of election. The pres
ent efficient County Treasurer. NJ. w.
Jones. having declined 10 be again can
didate for that Office. the only candidate
remaining is w. A. Bradford, a popular
young man, living near Boyce, in the
southern part Of the county. For the
Office Of Commissioner Of the Revenue ].
+. Griffith, the present incumbent, has
an opponent, w. III. Carter, at present
Deputy Treasurer. SO far there is no
opposition to l. X. Briggs. the present
Sheriff. The candidates above mentioned.
as well as the numerous others for the
minor offices of Constable. supervisors,
etc. are all Democrats, no others having
announced themselves from any other
party. Indeed the county is SO decidedly
Democratic that It would be useless for
any other than Democrat to run.
