FREDERICK DOUOI.ASS RETURNS.
Frederick Douglass arrived from Eu¬
rope, having come direct from New York he
after leaving the steamer, When
alighted from the train his tall, stalwart
form was conspicuous above the heads of
the other passengers, and attract e l gen¬
eral attention. His step was as firm and
elastic as that of many of the younger
men about him, and but for his gray
hair it would have been difficult to tell
that Mr. Douglass was an old man. He
is evidently in good health and looks
much stronger than when he left for Eu¬
rope
ASKS TO UK RELIEVED.
Admiral Luce, who commands the fleet
which covers the fishery grounds, has
asked to be relieved from command of
the north Atlantic squadron. Such in¬
formation as can be gathered from other
sources doubt however, confirmatory, and leaves
no that a letter or dispatch of the
purport that indicated, has been received, and
under Secretary Whitney has the matter
advisement. Though there is much
speculation as to the probable successor
to Admiral Luce’s command, it is be¬
lieved that no one has yet been desig¬
nated, and that it has not even been de¬
termined to comply with the admiral’s
request.
NOTES.
Mr. Whiting, who has long filled the
position of chief draughtsman of the bu¬
reau of steam engineering in the navy
department, has been dismissed.
James B. Davis, superintendent of the
ordnance foundry of the Washington
navy yard, has been dismissed, and John
F. Burton, of Laurel, Md., who has long
been a mechanic in the foundry, has been
promoted to the vacancy.
The United States treasurer having
accumulated a supply of one and two
dollar silver certificates sufficient to meet
the current heavy demand, haa arranged
for the prompt delivery of these notes to
banks, bankers and others, making the
required deposit, The issue of these
notes has been suspended since the first
of May last.
A SEETHING CAULDRON.
The insecurity and uneasiness which
have been felt since the departure of An¬
dy and Willie Tolliver, and their friends,
received a fresh impetus at Morehead,
Ky., when Adjutant Williams, with a
squad of men, filed into the depot, and
seized a case of rifles and two thousand
pounds of ammunition that had just been
taken off of the train, and hurried them
into camp. These are the same guns
that were shipped to Z. T. Young,
Mount Sterling, from Lexington, some
weeks ago. Maj McKee, fearing a col¬
lision between the factions, immediately
sent out half a dozen squads of men
searching suspected houses for arms, and
must have captured several wagon loads.
In one house alone they secured ten Win¬
chester rifles, three shot guns, two mus¬
kets and several muzzle loading rifles.
The raid created quite a stir in the town
and it is the geucrul belief that if Major
McKee had not taken decisive steps a
fight would have taken place.

before the court and defended himself.
He said that Judge Newman had no ju¬

denied, and asked Senator Riddleberger
to sit down until the evidence could be
