The partisans OF Grant and Sumner
are scolding and jd,cing-no other
word so well expresses the situation
each other about the cause of the ro.
moval of the latter, all Of which must
be edifying to the British members Of
the Joint High In Washington.
Grant would have the public believe
that he promoted the humiliation of
Senatorfrom Massachusetts because
the latter is generally out Of sy mpathy
with the administration. and used his
position as chairman TO forearm him
self TO destroy administration projects
in foreign affairs Ii is important to
bear in mind that no one pretends
Sumner was injurious TO the admins
tration in any other respect than in
transactions with foreign powers. No
questian ofinternal politics, therefore,
enters into the discussion. and the on.
ly important transactions with other
nations now before the Senate, or like
ly to come before it for some time, are
Oahto DOhinB"t thS AlaudiLa Clalins,
and the fisheries. But over-p passing
this for the moment, let us revert to
the record TO see why Sumner was re.
moved-and here we think the facts
will be found ugly things for the
Grant partisans. Mr.. Schurz, while
advocating last Friday his motion to
postpone the subject till next day, in
spired the following colloquy:
II was but just to that member, 10 the
Senate, and to the whole country, that the
real reason for which such change was
proposed should he laid bare to to the pub
lie gaze. He would therefore ask the Sena-
tor who had introduced the resolution
(Howe) what were the reasons why such u
change was made.
Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin, rose to reply.
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada (asidel-I would
not answer him.
Several Senators-No don't.
Mr.. Howe said on the one hand he was
asked question, and on the other appealed
10 not TO answer lt, and in Difference to that
rule of courtesy which he had sought to
make the rule of his life, he would make a

THB MAN WHO HADN'T ANY OBJECTION.
The author Of st. Twermo, noted for his love of
practical joke, was con duty" at the fair of
the American institute and, finding a convent
ent point of rest behind pyramid of paste and
backing, went quietly to work to write up his
notes. He had just completed glowing eulo-
GUM on the merits of patent bean -Sifter when
he was interrupted by tall countryman, who
asked:
"Haow do We sell yer blackin' misterP'
81 don't sell il" said the absorbed writer.

mot the least in the world" said the now
thoroughly aroused joker, calmly closing his
book, and beaming blandy upon the interroga-
tor.
The countryman Immediately seized upon a
box of the polish; a sharp boy standing near
followed his example; the news of free backing
spread among other sharp boys, and the pyra-
mid OF backing was soon reduced TO plain,
when the newspaper man was oVertAken a little
distance further in the hall by the backing
dealer, irate and red faced, with two policemen,
who had the original offender and half dozen
boys in custody.

My dear sir, said the photographer, urbane-
ly, "the gentleman asked me if / had any OBJ

and hadn't any objections at all, and don't

city on in pursuit of his labors, leaving Messrs

THE East RIVER rRiDGE.-The stone
tower on the Brooklyn side of the East river
bridge is now about as high as a three-story
house. 1t is a solid mass of granite block, laid
in the most careful manner, and packed be-
tween with concrete and cement. From the
ferry boats it looks like an angle of church
foundation, and not large one at that. But
when seen from the top of the works, you
might build circus tent up there were it not
for the two empty spaces in the centre. These
spaces are left open merely to save the cost of
masonry.
The structure will be strong enough without
them, and the saving will be considerable. One
course of stone is laid in every three days. or an
average of eight courses month. The tower
will be carried up to nearly the height of Trinity
church, and will not be diminished in length or
breadth, except the abutments. The superin-
tendent in charge was recently asked whether
the work had settled any or whether it was
likely to do so, and stated that it had not
budged an inch and was not likely to do so upon
foundation such as they had found. He said
it would not be strange if, when the work was
up to its full height, it had settled an inch or
two, but so far it had given no indication of it.
To the bed of the river, or rather the bottom
of the caiSson long way below the bed of the
river, was solid mass of stone and hard gravel,
which he did not think would yield. The tim
bers of the caiSson might possibly settle little
in the joints, but as they were packed closely
with concrete, it made little difference.
Every part of the work is progressing favor
ably now The bed of the river on the New
York side is being prepared for the eaisson,
which will soon be foated into its position, when
the same tedious operation of digging for a
foundation will have to be gone through. 1t
will not take so long in New York as it did in
Brooklyn, however, since all the tools and ap-
paratus necessary for the operation are all ready
on the Brooklyn side
The anchorage abutment, solid mass of ma
sonry, will be located near the James street mar
ket, in Brooklyn, and will soon be commenced.
This will be considered the mainstay of the
bridge, for here the anchor which holds it to-
gether will be placed.
