SUMMERS SPEECH.

The speech of Charles Sumner OF
Massachusetts, on the annexation OF
San Domingo, delivered in the United
States Senate on Montay last, has been
and published IN the leading dailies,
The speech is an exhaustive and
caustic review of President Grants
usurpations of power and disregard OF
the Constitution, and involves in its
damaging eNpositions that large fac
ton of Republican leaders who still
cling to Grant and the loaves and fishes,
Yet it is exceedingly dignitied in tone.
and, as Sumner himself says in con
cluSion, is made up of ''unimpeach-
able authorities, and unanswerable,
cumulative testimony, where each
part confirms the rest, and the whole
has the harmony of truth" Charging
that the President had placed himself
at the head of a more powerful and
costly Ku-klux klan than those of
the south, sumner SAID.
Now, as | desire the suppression of
the Kuklux wherever it shows itself,
and the elevation of the African race,
! insist that the Presidential scheme
with KukluX on the coasts of San Do
mingo, and which at the same time
insults the African a in the black
Republic shall he fairly represented.
l speak now of that kukluX of which
the President is the declared head,
and | speak for the African a C whom
the President has trampled down. Is
there any Senator i'll earnest against
the kukluN? Let him arrest those
on the coast of san Domingo. Is there
any Senator ready at all times to seek
the elevation of the African race? here
is an occasion for his best efforts.
Referring to the "melancholy bust
ness of the annexation scheme, and
to the cut-throat Baez of San Domingo
as 1.-THE central figure, unless we ex-
cept; President Grant, Sumner says
these two worthless '.have acted to-
Cether as 70 partners" and then pro-
ceeds to give a picture of the Domini-
him as a ''cut throat, a~dventurer, and
traitor to his country" The speaker
also rakes the American branch of
the firm in the MISUNDERSTANDING up
with a half-concealed appeal to the
negro voters:

says:

about young Hetferman, who was

MAJ not be without interest to our
readers: On the 10Th of September.
1916, the ship Thos. III. Perkins sailed
from New York with a portion of
Stevenson'S regiment. California Vol
unteers. The Perkins was command
ed by Captain Arthur. Young flef-

named after the vessel and her Cap
tain. His father was a corporal in Co.

mother was a sister to the late noto-
rious rObber etc., Jack Powers, who
was also a member OF Co. +. Your
informant was on the snip ut the time
OF Heflerman'S birth. Ii was a gen
orally understood thing at the time,
that when a proper age should be ar
rived at, young Hetterman should
marry and take to wife a girl born on
board about the same time, and whose
name was Alta California. we sup
press the name for obvious reasons
