Sumner, Wilson and Butler the situa-
Senators Sumner and Wilson and General
Butler, all of Massachusetts,, and AL leading
radicals in Congress, have been giving p city
freely their views and opinion, on the present
crisis, and on the principal characters, issues
and difficulties of the political situation. These
views and opinions are very interesting, and
especially in reference 10 President johnson,
the impeachment question, General Grant,
Chief Justice Chase and the Presidential sue
cession.

nounces the removal Of Secre AIRY Stanton at
this time as 80 national calamity;" that the
action of General Grant in consenting to take
his place is difficult to expliin, and that, con-
sidered as Presidential candidate, " we are
lef in narrowing uncertainty in regard to his
opinions y that President Johnson Z" is per.
verse, pig-headed aud brutal y that Of course
he is usurper and tyrant - that the won

calling himself republican takes the side Of

by Wendell Phillips ga dyspeptic Scotch ter
rier," but who, according to Sumner, is . pug
naciols customer, like Johnson, though of q
much finer fib.e,r and who has always had
soft side for Johnson"
Such. In nutsh IL, are the views and opin-
ions Of Senator Sumner on the subjects pre-
sensed. His colleague, Wilson, though run
ming in the same general Oh ,nnel, DIVORCES
here and there from the track Of Sumner Ac-
cording to Senator Wilson, the Congressional
scheme of reconstruction, though embarrassed
and delayed by Mr.. Johnson must go through
to its consummaion. Wilson believes. though
late believer, that " the President will be i'm
peachei,' that he observes impeachm mt"
and that such ha, become the prevailing juig.

into the War Deplr ment "to do what be could
and save what be could for the country" AS
regards President johnson, Mr.. Wilson thinks
that "he goes by fits and STARTS" that, sin fact,
he acts like man on bust who goes to
sleep AMI wakes up and breaks things, and
SOBER sin my idea," says the Senator, che
is foolish man, governed by gusts of passion
and temper; and disappointed man, because
he really believed he was going 10 succeed"
Mr.. Wilson does not know whether Mr.. Chase
is a Presidential candidat, or not, but thinks
United Sta.es.' Only the other day, however,
General Grant was the champion OF Wilson
against tae field.
Next in summing up the views Of General
Butler, he does not like the position of General
Grant in the war Office. II is "a very difficult
and dangerous r6le" that he has to play, and
time must be left to tell the consequences.
Stanton has the confidence OF the country.

even If so inclined, he can do no mischief
against any candidate in his distribution OF
the spoils 1t is on the national finances,
however, that General Butler comes forth in the
character of an enlightened statesman. When
we say that bis views on the great money
question in its leading details are those which
have been ventilated through the HERALD for
many months past, we say all that Is necessary
in the Generals defence, FOR on this ground
no enemy can flank him AMI bottle him MP.
Such are the views, In brief. or three Of the
most conspicuous republican leaders of Mas

purposes in which they all concur? II l. the

Wilson and Butler are in harmony in regard
