WASHINGTON. March H. In the hcphOucdfl
caucus yesterday. when it was determined to take
Senator Sumner from the Craftsmanship of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, a discussion
arose. Senators Sherman, and Morrill, Of Vermont,
the minority of the Committee, deprecated the
proposed change, aud warmly opposed il, believ-
ing that Sumner had done nothing TO merit bis
removal from a position be had held so long with
so much credit to the Senate and country. Messrs.
Howe and Nye. of the Committee, replied 10 this
and said that the interests Of the Administration
demanded a change; that Mr.. Sumner was hostile

terms with the President or Secretary Of State as
rendered it proper for him to be the confident
agent for one Of the most important Committees OF
the Senate. He had assailed the foreign policy OF
the Administration and the President in terms not
becoming a Republican Senator. Sumner was
present, but did not participate. He was confident
to the last that he would not be deposed, and only
gave up when bis colleagues molten TO recommft
was lost.
Sumner from the Committee of Foreign RelRtiQns
continues to be the exciting topic of conversation
in all political circles, and Its probable effect on
the future of the Republican party and the rcnom-
ina'ion Of General Grant is freely discussed. All
the kepubiicans except a few OF Summers personal
enemies in the Senate agree that the occurrence IL
very damaging TO the party, and may prove disas-
trous. In short. that II was a gross political. blum
der. The DemOcrats are highly elatcd about the
affair. They say that the denomination of Grant is
inevitable. because there is no man of sufficient
strength to oppose him, but that his defeat will
follow as a necessary result of dissensiOn occa-
stoned among the Republicans. bm
IfrCongress is not In session at the time the San
Domingo Commissioners reach Washington o
special Executive Session of the Senate will be
called by the President to act on the treaty of
annexation.
From present prospects Congress will not adjourn
before the Commissioners arrive, and If so, the
discussion of the annexation project will be AN
additional cause for q prolonged session.
Each Commissioner is preparing a draft Of his
report. and as yet the separate drafts have not
been compared. Upon most of the points specified
in the resolution of Congress the reports Of the
Commissioners will show q condition of affairs
favorable to annexation.
from San Domingo come continued accounts of
a growing aversion to annexation, and IL IL said
Hayti is secretly f~ouenting the dissatisfaction.
WAsHISGToS March lS.-Mr. Sumner presented
an address "a to the Senate of the United States Of
North America" demonstrating against the pro-
posed annexation of San Domingo, signed by
Thomas Bobadilla, late President OF the Central
Junta of the Government of Dominican Republic,
the late President OF the Supreme Court, late
Minister of State aud Senator Of said Republic.

Republic. After considerable discussion. Il was
decided that the memorial could not be received.

WASHINGTON, March I6.-Tbe session of the Joint
High Commissions are held daily. There is q fear
prevailing in some quarters that recent discussion
has developed Differences OF opinion which may
prevent a peaceful settlement. In reply TO n
question yesterday, one Of the American Commits
sloners said in a significant manner, that If the
Commission was able 20 reach satisfactory conclu-
sions at all. it would terminate its labofs by The
middle OF April. II ia believed that the difficulty
lies in the inability OF tho English COMMISSIONER
