The Swamp Douglass, Lewis H. Douglass, Net Fred. Douglass, Jr. Lewis Proposes to Stick te his Compesing Stick. He Will Net Budge Until Kicked Oat. Outside of Washing:on and, indeed, in state- ly circles here, the big, many-windowed brick building on H street is known as “The Gov- ernment Printing Office,” but it is designated familiarly by almost everybody in Wasbing- ton as “Tke Swamp.” How it got that name, whether as a contraction of the territorial @es- ignation of «Swampoodle,” or from some such untraceable cause as that which fathers the same title upon the leather dealers’ quarter m New York city, it is not our purpose row to inquire. Suffice it to say, « he Swamp” is the current name of tke office, amd that the name is just now in everybody's mouth, through the difficulty among the printers in consequence of the employment: there of the colored printer Douglass. “fhe Swamp” isa big hive of Beman in- dustry. Fully balf the printers employed in the District are engaged there, and they have usually the controlling power in the Columbia ‘Typographical Union. And we have scarce ever known a time when some kinky ques- tion im regard to printers’ rights or wrongs ‘was not being raised by the busy bees and busy brains of the Swamp to keep things lively in the Union. Now the Swamp has ‘wittingly or unwittingly furnished a topic for discussion that will apparently keep af- faire from stagnating in the Union for some time to come. A great geal has been said and written about this difficulty, bat there have been so many discrepancies of statement that the public mast be puzzled to make head or tail ef the matter. So we concluded to bring a little STAR-light to bear upon the business, sought ofr informaton at the fountain-head,— the Swamp itself. And to begin at the be- ginning we commenced with the colored man whose advent at the Swamp has caused sucu a hepbub throughout the length and breadth of the land. Mounting the narrow steps to the great composing room we found our man at the nearest case tothe landing, as ifthe Swamp folks were rather proud of him and had placed him in a position where visitors would be sure to see him. He is a medium sized young man, alert in movement, lacking seme. thing of the printers stoop, perhaps, trom soldierly habits, and with something of the look ef grave intelligence that marks his father’s face, though hus features are not as decided. 1s this Mr. Douglass? My name is Dougiass. I am connected with the STAR newspaper, and as you are now & somewhat famous per- somage, perhaps, you will not object to being “interviewed” for a short time? Mr. D. smiled consent. You are the son of Fred. Bouglass? Yes. 1saw your father last at the White House where he had the famous “Moses” talk with President Jobnson, and he told the President he would go from him to the people. Yes, 1 was with my father at that interview as Secretary of the delegation. 1 remember that the Stag had a verbatim account of what took place there and that it was copied all over the country. Yes, and Andrew Johnson got so much the ‘worse of the argument with your father, and appeared to so much disad vantage that he was afterwards very shy of having his conversa. tions reported unless “revised” at the White House. By the way, Mr. Donglass, I see it stated that you are tired of the contest with the Printer’s Unions and are seeking au appointment in Reg- ister Wolt’s office. No. There it be some mistake. Well, the correspondence is in the STAR to- day. The application to the Kegister is signed by Fred Douglass, jr., who says that in conse- quence of combinations entered into by Print er’s Unions throughout the country he is un- able to obtain employment at bis trade and asks an appointment as clerk. Oh, that’s my brother. My name is Lewis H. Douglass. Older or younger than you! He is about 27. I am 2. You do not propose then to leave this office to seek other employment! Certainly mot. I shall stay here until 1 am kicked out. Mr. Douglas, I see that you know how to dis- tribute. (He w&s distributing type, while talking, with the facility of am old hand.) Are you equally expert in setting up! 1 ought to be; 1 was brought up in a printing office. For seventeen years I have been most of the time engaged, either in setting type or keeping books, in a printing office. Your father’s office? Yes. His paper was called “The North Star.” Yes, at first; afterwards “Fred. Douglass’ Paper.” It is not published now ? No. It was discontinued in 1863; the abolition of slavery having done away with its mission- Mr. Douglas, it has been stated that you ap. Plied for admission to the Denver Union, and ‘was rejected as an “improper person.” That is notso. I expressed a desire to join the Denver Union to the foreman of the Gazette office, but he declined to present an application for me on the ground that he did not wish to incur the odium ofso doing. I made no formal applicator, and there was, consequently, no tefusal. I worked setting type only about three weeks in Denver, and was discharged Decaure a white compositer there objected to Working with ‘a nigger.” (This same From others in the room we learned that he Tanks well as a compositor, er in the words given us, “he sets as good @ proof as amy in the building.” We also learned that some years ago he applied for admission to the Ro- chester Union, but was deciared ineligible on account of being under age. ‘This may have been the true cause or may have been a subter- fage, but it is evident that the draw-back throughout bas been Bus color,and that he Might have been bandied about “from pillar to post” indefinitely had mot the lodgement et- fected by him at the Government office com.

Up to the time that he left Denver it is evident that the colored compositor bad no status whatever before a printer's union.

Within that time the status of the colored man bas changed. He is te be a citizen anda voter everywhere. He is eligible to hold whites.

We are satisfied from what we can learn that the printers here are not disposed—or any considerable number of them—to make any opposition to Douglass on the ground of color, butare really anxions to give him the benefit of the most favorable construction of his case, so that they may avoid putting themselves in thatetticade. But ic seems to us that they will make a mistake iftbey undertake to apply the ordinary society rules in hiscase, His position towards them is an exceptional one to be de- cided upon its own merits.
