Special Correspondence to the Post-Dispatch. WasuInoTon, August 9.—The Republican National Committee is preparing to give a good deal of atten- tion this year to the colored vote. There are indica- tions in the Northern States that the colored brother may be led astray. Certain of the colored leaders in the North and Northeast have indicated their desire not to vote the Republican ticket and to correct this the best colored orators in the party are to be sent into the field. In the South, while the majority of the colored voters are Republican, some are inclined to vote with the Democrats. It isto these that at- tention will be turned laterin the campaign. It is too warm inthe South now for active campaign work, but in a fer weeks attention will be turned to that section. The three colored men who are to be the central figures in this fight are ex-Senator Bruce, ex-Congressman Lynch and Fred Douglass. Already they are in the field and will continue at work most of the time until the ballots are cast in November. Fred Douglass, although reached his three is yet an active, vigorous man. His long, kinky hair which he combs back is white as snow, and his full beard almost the same. In figure, he is still as straight and well-formed as when he toiled a slave within sight of his present handsome residence a half century ago. He is still a fine orater and his | epigrammatic sentences are a curious study; always interesting and often amusing as well. He is now in the Northwest accompanied by his new white wife, and his residence on the hill overlooking Washing- ton is closed for the summer. His residence which is situated just across the Eastern Branch of the Potomac is a pretty brick building surrounded with — and standing in the midst of tasteful and well- kept ounds. At the left of the hall, which runs through a parlor comfortably furnished, portraits of Pres, ident Lincoln and others prominent as friends of the colored man a quarter of a century ag, Ding es- pecially noticeabie among the wall decorations. Opening off this room is another which he uses as a study and where his library work is done. The walls are lined with pictures of men and women prominent as emancipators vears ago. Prominent among these are the faces of Plizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan Douglas has accumulated considerable money in his long career. His first earnings were turned toward purchasing his own freedom, and it is only within the past ten or twenty years that he has accumulated any considerable sum. His modest for- tune is now estimated at about $25,000, B. Anthony. Next in prominence to Douglass in the colored campaign will be ex-Senator Bruce, now Register of the ury. Bruce has made more reputation than any other colored man ever in Congress. His position as Senator gave him much prominence during the period when he occupied a seat in the Senate, and his position since that time as Register of the Treasury has added materially to his reputa- tion. He is thoroughly conversant with the duties of his position and with national topics in general. His conrteous and polite treatment of those who may have business with him is something which many who profess superiority might imitate with profit. He lives in very good style here, and is re- ported to be worth $50,000 or $60,000, ability: his which was local until recently was made the fact that he was temporary c of the Convention which nominated Blaine and such officer of that Convention he will prominent ip the for re-election THE PRINCESS OF WALES.

By Telegraph to the Fost-Diapatoh. New York, August 11.— One of the most daring and successful speculators in the world,” said a prominent member of the Stock Exchange to a Post-DisPaTcH correspondent, at the Windsor Hote last evening, is the Princess of Wales. “What,” ejaculated his hearer, ‘“‘the Princess of Wales a speculator in stocks?” “The Princess of Wales I speak of is not the wife of the royal hero of the throne of Great Brit- ain. The title has been given by common consent to a daughter of a rich old whaler of New Bedford, who died a number of years ago, leaving her an immense fortune. This she has doubled several times by her wonderful operations in stocks.

Jurrznsow Crry, August 11.—The prospect this morning favors the largest and longest convention since the war, and Jefferson City already feels that it has undertaken a contract of entertain- ment which will hasard its reputation.

JEFrrerson Crry, Mo., August 11.—The only Guber- natorial candidate yet on the field is Gov. Marma- duke who has been here since Saturday. He is here rather in the role of a looker-on than an interested party as his war is all done. He has refused it is said, to express any preferences as to the balance of the ticket for fear that it might be construed as dio- tation. His name will be placed before the conven- tion by Arthur Lee, of St. Louis, and seconded by Etummiller of Gasconade. It has now beea definitely determined that Chas. Hardin is to be permanent Chairman provided he will accept the position. The temporary chairmanship w main a matter of doubt until the Central mittee meets this afternoon.

By Telegraph to the Post-Disnatch. Sr. Josep, Mo., August 11.—Politics are begin- ning to assume an interesting shape in Missouri just now. The contest for Congress in the Fourth District, promises to be qnite animated. It is a fore- gone conclusion that Col. James N.Burnes will be the Democratic nominee, and that Hon. Nick Ford will be an Independent candidate against him, supported by the Republicans, Greenbackers and disgruntled Democrats. Burnes is tolerably popular among the Democrats, but not much more so than two years ago. Ford seems to have a pretty good hold on the Republi although there is some tall kicking going on among them. A faction of the Republicans, head ed by Col. F. M. Tracy, editor of the Herald, and Postmaster of this city, and D. P.
