The cowardly meanness of Sumner, in
awaiting himself Of the protection of his seat
in the senate to denounce to the world the
President of the United States as "atterly
stnpfincipled and seicked," exhibits the
character of a malicious calumniator, and
the vulgarity of bully combined with the
caution of q poltroon. To assail the chief
magistrate of the country with evenomed
epithet, where he has no power to defend
himself and to hold his antagonist to ac-
count for his words, is an illustration of the
gentlemanly bearing and official honor that
reaches the senator's standard of decency.-

Not Much for Grant.

The German radicals of ST. Louis have
but little confidence in Grant. In An ad.
dress to their German fellow citizens, they
say -
"We believe permanent success for the
people. and the maintenance of their repub-
lcan liberties, can only be accomplished by
the republican party strictly and energeti-
cally adhering to its principles, and that we
cannot discover in the past of General
Grant any guarantee for his future action,
nor in his former department any show Of
statesman like capacity"
