From the st. Louis Hestliche Pos,
lIIeTman Radically:
"This, then, is his latest success.
Charles Sumner, without any ques-
tion the foremost among the Repub-
Iicans Of his time, has had to give way
10 Grant, the nan who traded OF
American arms in order to defeat the
Garmans-the very, very small man,
10 whom even the smallest present
was welcome. Why, il is not worth
while to be President, except one has
Uhe power to have everything shaped
according to ones own head, stupid
as the head may otherwise be. An
nfsEibly honest man, as both friend
and foe know the old Senator OF Mas
sschUseUts to be, was at the head Of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Al
fairs. He clearly was not the right
man for the place under an admins
tratiOn like that of President Grant.
The CsmprOns are needed in order to
agree to the San Domingo plot and
other dirty schemes, for the Summers
will not do it. The Senatorial caucus
therefore was ordered directly by the
President to transfer a position which
Mr.. Sumner had for 50 many years
held respectfully and successfully to
Cameron, the Pennsylvania high-tarih
man, the mOnOpOlist and corruption
ist bv preference. TWenty-siX Sena-
7on voted for this outrage. A glance
-1ve- the names of those who voted Tor
and against the outrageous measure
sufficiently shows on which side are
the men who have stood foremost In
the history of the Republican party.
II ever a minority in any political
party really represented the majority
of the people, it is the tWenty-One
friends of Mr.. Sumner. The twenty
six may calculate the profits gained
bv their servile votes; the people may
calculate differently. Thinking citi-
zens will ask themselves, whether we
really still live under republican In
stitutiOns, lift is possible for any insig-
uifcant and even ill-famed person,
who by any chance is thrown into the
Presidential chair, 10 become al
mighty. SOrrOWfully and di5trust-
dugly they shake their heads at the
sight Of the various schemes which Ia
1ke West, as well as in the East, are
ATTEMPTED for the reelection Of Grant,
and they come to the conclusion that

uru3y:
as. 1t would appear that
this Quarrel is destined to lead to yet
graver results than have been thus far
sttsiFpd. A special dispatch from
az in n n
indicates that the friends of Mr.. Sum-
ner in at least one New England
State have taken up the cudgels in his
behalf and are belabOring the Presi-
dent. Until yesterday the Republi-
cans felt confident Of carrying New
Hampshire by at least seventeen hun
dred majority, but the news Of the
action OF the Senate caucus is re-
ported to have somewhat shaken
their confidence. Yesterday evening

From the New York Eoening Post, |
March 9:
"When Mr. Buchanan became OBJ

sult proved, foolish attempt to impose
a constitution upon the people Of Kan

opposed by Senator Douglas, whose

procured the removal Of Senator
Douglas from his place on the COM /

an obstinate President made upon
