Summers Speech ON the Funding BIN.
Senator Summers speech this afternoon
upon the funding bill was elaborate anf
peculiar. There was nothing Of. origiua'
plan, but much of original and impractical
theory. A large portion Of his argumen,
was o refinement of the arguments Of
others, and gave evidence Of effort to make
a distinction from the Boutwell, PROPOSE
tons for funding the debt, without any DIFF
ference in idea though varying as to diyi-
sions Of time for final payment. a III
Mr.. Sumner failed to arrest close, atten-
ton, but often sought to enforce it by cali
ing senator's to account for whispering and
talking to one another whilst the Great Sin
Oracle was holding forth. AT one time
Secretary Fish and Senator Conkling were
complained of whilst they were in earnest
consultation in tones too low to be heard by
any but themselves. Then Senator's Chan
der and Ramsey came in for rebuke.
Next, Senator Lewis and friend,
got rap over the knuekles for daring
to forget that the Great Massachusetts
Senator was making what would be adj
vertised as great financial speech. This
pettish, irritable conduct on the part Of
Sumner amused his few listeners, but failed
to command undivided attention, nor did
he make converts to his proposition to
discriminate in favor of certain bonds
which he elegantly demominated "iy-bown
bonds" ............. WALLACE.
