THE PRESIDENT AND SENATOR SUMNER.

The following is the article in The Washing
Ton Patriot which called forth Senator Summers remarks
day before yesterday:
within the Last days attempt has been made by
mutual friends Of the President and Mr. sumner To bring
about reconciliation or, at least better undo stsnd
ing. and, after consultation, the President was ap-
preached this subject by distinguished New
England Senator The President manifested good deal
feeling utterly refused 10 be persuaded that the
differences could be reconced even 10 give his con-
sent TO movement having In view reconciliation
The good OF the party &c was earnestly urged but III
vain.
The President. in response to all suggestions OF "Let
have peace" replied emphatically that Mr. Sumner
had attacked him In executive sessions OF the Senate
that he had spoken bitterly OF m publicly In streecas
ahused him in Bost and during his recent pn
West The President added that, Of these
sions Mr. Sumner had attributed dishonest motives TO
him, aud, II he were not President Of the United States
he should hold Mr. Sumner personally responsible for hs
language and demand satisfaction OF him.
This somewhat startling talk from the whom tho
Repubicaps have almost yorsped as the of
the Rebellion put the peace 10 flight for it
plain that the olive branch would not be accepted
President share his feelings in this matter aud OF
them (Gen Bsbcock) is reported TO have far
the Executive he subject senator Sumner to per
sonal violence This whole matter creates great deal Of
talk among those who have become aware OF Its extent
The connection OF COL J. W. Foey with this difference
between the Administration and Mr.. sumner has II Is
stand by staff officer OF the President that he
pected to attack Mr. Sumner on his the san
Domingo question his attitude toward the President
This Mr. FOrney positively refused to do, the ground
that Mr. Sumner had always been of his per-
sons friends, and this decision withdrew the Pres den
tia favor from Col FOrney, and IL Is even sad closed
the doors Of the White House against him. 1t the
