hind so base a subterfuge. Pusilla-
nimity and Charles Sumner are
henceforth synonyms.
Since writing the above we find
the following in the State Journal
The case is so well put that we can
not resist the inclination to copy it:
Mr.. Sumner reminds Us pleasantly of DON
lrev I've mean no disrespect to either of them)
who was acting as off-wheel ass in 4 team of
six in wagon train. This donkey seemed to
derive satisfaction from planting his legs and
muscular energies in opposition to the desire
of the other five Of his body polite. One day
they called the previous question on him, and
as he hung back, suddenly the back-strap
broke and the fore part of his gearing stripped
over his head, slewing him around, when the
afteTpart stripped of rearward, and this mis-
guided mule rolled over and over down the
side of the mountain and disappeared. Would
that Mr.. Sumner would take warning from
that mule.
We have never been abIo to class ourselves
with the admirers-of Mr.. Sumner, but he COM
pels our admiration of his ability in one re-
spect. He has the greatest capacity for being
Il
Grafton. So vehement and superhuman are
/ his gifts in this way that we have no doubt OF
/ his ability to take unanimous ten-tenths OF
/ the entire population of this country, and re-
/ duce them 10 a minority inside of one decade,
if they Will follow him. It is a bad sign for
| the Democratic party when it is so far reduced
in size as to be able to agree with Mr.. Sumner
upon any question.
In the Republican party the main body has
I -
| eleven who prevented the Jury from agreeing.
Mr.. Sumner always had his mind made up,
and there was no difficulty except with the
| other eleven Ii the eleven held out they
were set down as mahgnsHtS, and the case
went over for new trial. It seems that the
eleven have finally concluded to demand the
recognition of their numerical status. That
/ is good symptom.
Mr.. Sumner has been indiscreet enough, In
| his bullying rage, to betray the personal ami
mus which has weighed largely IN determln-
| ing his course in the San Domingo Business.
The Administration has not prayed three
times a day t. the chairman of the Committee
/ on Foreign Relations Mr.. Sumner was very
| complaisant toward the Alaska Purchase. It
will be remembered that he delivered an ora
ton of four pounds weight In favor OF the
purchase Of that region of ioebergs and eternal
snow. We have taken very little except the
scurvy by that motion. Is it because Mr..
Sumner has exhausted all available language
in favor of the acquisition Of territory by his
speech in favor Of the Alaska purchase, and
does not know how to invent new words to
advocate the purchase of San Domingo, that
he has become so suddenly and hercely con-
servative on the subject? Or is it simply case
of wounded amour Pr0pre, against lusty amor
p0tyiGf
That's what ails the mule.

ADvIcEs from Richmond, Va, say
that Saturday night was the coolest
for thirteen years. On Sunday morn
ing, as the porter commenced waking
passengers for the Southern train,
the Spotswood Hotel was discovered
TO be on fire. An effort was at once
made to arouse the guests, and as the
terrible fact spread from room to
the room, greatest confusion prevail
ed. Women rushed, half clad, into
the snow covered streets, and men
rushed from place to place to save
their baggage. The intense cold
rendered it almost impossible for the
steam engines to do anything, and
the flames spreading rapidly, soon
cut of escape by way Of the stairs.
A number ef persons leaped from
the windows, some escaping and
Others receiving severe injuries, and
a number are known to have
