SENATOR SuMNER.-Mr. Sumner has
received numerous congratulations on
lis reelection for a fourth term Of six
years. The National Executive Com
mittee of colord men appointed by the
recent convention recer thy address
tsed him a letter Of congratulations,
to which Mr.. Sumner replied a. fol-
lows:
SENATE CHAMBER, Sunday, January "a.
GENTLEMEN: | receive gratefully the
congratulations which the National
Executive Committee of colored citi-
zens have made to me on my recent
reelection to the Senate. One Of the
choicest satisfactions of arduous public
service is found in the good will which
you SO kindly communicate to me in
behalf OF those tor whom I labored.
If | were disposed to hesitate, your
letter would quicken my energies. Be
assured | shall press on to the end a.
gainst prejudice, against opposition,
against combination, Of all kinds. The
good cause has advanced from victory
to victory. 1t only remains that equal
rights for all shall be assured at the
ballot box everywhere throughout the
country. Until this great victory is
won work is unfinished, nor, in
my opinion, can our Repu lie give an
example to mankind. It is little short
OF absurdity to call a Government re-
publican in form which makes a dis
elimination of rights on account OF
color, and establishes an oligarchy OF
| the skin.
Believe me, gentlemen, very faith
fully yours, CHARLES SUMNER.

The instruction in Cuba does not
exhibit any signs of failure. The in
turgents already hold possession of a
large portion of the Island, and are
still making Roadway. The pacific
proclamation Of Gen. Dulce, issued on
his arrival at the island as Governor
General, was not we'll received, and
has been withdrawn. The mother
country has not dealt quite as gener-
ously and impartially with Cuba as
was expected in the matter Of election
and representation. In Spain every
$4,000 inhabitants elects a Deputy, in
Cuba it requires 100000. In Spain
also, The sutii age is free, while in Cuba
il Is conditional upon the payment Of
stax. And the breach is continually
~v.aening between Spain and Cuba
which nothin. can close but absolute
and impartial justice on the part O
Spain toward her dependency. 1t i.
seriously doubted however, whcthe,
at this late day, any conciliatory meas
ures can now be adopted which car
restore Cuba to her former loyalty.

The following is the speech made
by Gen. Grant on receiving the certifi-
cate Of his election as President of the
United States.
Il can promise the committee that it
will be my honest endeavor to call a.
round me, as assistants, such only as |
think will carry out the principles
which you have said thecounty desires
to sec successful, economy, retrench-
ment, faithful collections of the reve-
nue. and payment Of the public debt.
If | should TAIL in mv first choice,
shall not at any time hesitate to make
a second or even a third trial, with the
concurrence of the Senate, who have
the confirming power. l should just
as soon remove OF my own ap.
pointees as the appointee of my pre-
decessor. 1t would make no differ
enee. There is one matter that I
might possibly speak of here, and that
is the selection of a Cabinet. I have
always felt that it would be rather in.
delicate to announce or even to con
suit with the gentlemen whom
thought of inviting to positions in my
Cabinet before the official declaration
OF the result Of the election made, al.
though | presumed that there was nc
doubt as to what the declaration
would be. But, after consideration,
! have come to the conclusion tina,
there is not a man in the country who
could be invited to a place in the Cab
met without the friends OF some Other
gentleman making an effort to secure
the position. Not that there could be
any objection to the party named Blu,
that there would be others whom
they had set their hearts upon having
IN the place. ! can tell that from thu
great number Of requests which com.
to me in writing and otherwise, TO-
this particular person, or that one
+, from different sets and delegations
If announced in advance, efforts woult
be made to change my determination
and therefore | have come to the con
3 clusion not to announce whom | an
going TO invite TO seats in the Cabinet
until l send in their names TO the Sen
ate tor confirmation. If I say any
thing to them about it, it will certain
~ not be more than two or tire
