THE !AyONpALE CALAMITY.--For several
days there have been rumors in regard to
the cause of the terrible mining calamity
at Ayondalc, Pa, too shocking for belief or
repetition. In Hyde Park, where many Of
the lost belonged, it was openly asserted
and widely believed that the fire was the re-
suit Of design. \ correspondent Of the New
York Times says the story is based on what
he alleges is 4 fact, that the wooden funnel
leading from the furnace to the bottom of
the shat; had not been burned at all, and
that the brctticc or clibbin@ dividing the
shaft into two compartments at the bottom
Of the shaft had been merely charrcd and
no; destroyed. Other reporters state that
the Welsh miners of AvonIale had many
enemies among others Of their class, be-
cause they arc always the last and most re-
luc;aut to engage in strikes, and that
threats had been made against them on this
account.
To the credit Of human nature, however,
il must be added that at the inquest held i'll
Plymouth on Saturday the evidence given
10y the witnesses shows that nothing has
been elected confrmatory of the charge.

SENATOR SUMNER AND THE ADMIN1srRA-

SENATOR SUMNER AND THE ApMIN1sTRA-
TIox.--A special dispatch to the New York
Times, from Washington, says:
There is good reason to believe that
Senator Summer, who is to preside at the
Massachusetts Republican State Convention
Mt Worcester, on the 22d instant, designs on
that occasion to make an important, and
possibly very significant, speech on the
present condition of public affairs. He is
known TO be dissatisfied with the present
attitude of the Administration on the TO-
reign questions, Cuba, and Alabama claims,
and will strongly oppose any movement for
the recognition Of Cuba, to which he fears
the Administration is already committed.
He is in favor of maintaining the high
ground of non-intcrfcrcncc, thus enforcing
n great moral example upon highlands at
tcntion, and increasing by its effect the
cnormity Of her wrong-doins in the hasty
and complete recognition of the Southern
hrllircrcncv.H
