Special Despatch TO the EUenirg Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE action of the Senate
yesterday in removing Senator Sumner from the
chairmanship Of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons is still the theme of conversation in all circles
to the exclusion Of nearly everything else. Many
Senators who took part In it are now trying to shift
the responsibility upon the President and the Secre
tary Of State. Theke latter gentlemen seem per-
fectly willing to assume it. They manifest a good
deal Of satisfaction at being rid of Sumner.
Several Senators called upon the President this
morning, when the subject was talked over. Grant
is OF the opinion that when the excitement has
passed over, the country will sustain the action OF
the Senate He says 1t was necessary to make an
they cannot assail an administration with i'm
punity.
Senators Wilson, Trumbull, Schurz, and others,
who took sides with Sumner regard a disruption OF
Grants followers as certain, and that he cannot get
parent now that If matters could have been post
poned until another could have been held, enough
Senators would have changed their votes to prevent
the removal of Sumner.

the question OF adjournment and the passage Of a

Pacific Railroad Bonds
Secretary Boutwell, authorizes the statement to be

payment Of the interest on the bonds OF the Pacific
Railroad is not true. The question to whether
roads are liable to pay interest before bonds due
does not appear to be settled by the recent act OF
Congress. The Treasury is paying roads one-half
Of the proceeds OF transportation required by the
said act.
Subscriptions for the New Loan
come in very slowly only about eight millions having
been reported. 1t will be the middle OF next week
before the Secretary will get full Information as
how the loan is going Off in different sections OF the
country.
The Secretary apprehends great difficulty in ne.
gotiating q loan on account OF the small commits
sions allowed to bankers. Railroad bonds paw much
better to negotiate, and OF course, bankers will

OLD ISSUES NOT DEAD.

Senator Blair, of Missouri, in his late
speech in Congress, asserted that the
great question stiIl to be settled by the
people of this country, respects ''the
Government itself" This means that
the contest between freedom and slav-
cry is not yet ended that we have not
yet reached a period of peace in which
the people may concern themselves
alone with questions of finance, politi-
cal economy, territorial extension, in
ternal improvements, &c. that, indeed,
we may not properly pay any heed to
these matters, as yet; that first of all ii
must be decided, at the ballot box in
1872, whether slavery he not yet alive
or whether it really is dead, beyond all
hope of revivification. Once the bat
tie has been fought. In the field, rebel
lion was crushed and slavery was abol-

SENATOR HOwE's PAMPHLET.

Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, was the
administration leader in the Republican
caucuses in the matter of deposing
Charles Summer from the head of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. The
odore Tilton's new paper, the Golden
Age, not only criticised the act severe
ly, but did not hesitate to express its
opinion that Mr.. Howe had not added
anything to his fair reputation, by the
persistency and servility with which he
fought the matter through the Senate
In reply to Mr.. Tilton, the Senator
wrote lengthy article for the Age,
which has since been issued in pamph-
let form, and copy is before us. 1t is
undoubtedly as strong and ingenious as
any argument could be made in so poor
a cause. The most apparent thing about
this pamphlet is, that an attempt is
up the glazing wrong committed on
Mr.. Sumner. Senator Howe is too
honest for the task he undertakes. He
does not meet the point, at all, that
there was no real and genuine reason
for deposing Mr.. Sumner. He does
not say that the interests of the country
demanded his removal from the posi-
tion he had filled SO long, more ably
than it had ever been filled before. In
fact, to use a homely expression, Mr..
Howe "beats around the bush" and at
tempts to blind the readers of his pamph-
let to the naked question. The on
ly real attempt at reason for the ac-
ton of the Republican caucus, given by
Mr.. Howe, is that Mr.. Sumner was not
on good terms with the President and
the Secretary of State, with whom, as
Chairman of the Foreign Committee,
he was necessarily brought in contact.
1t is not denied in this pamphlet that
those relations were sufficiently harmo-
NOUS for the transaction of business.
| We would gladly accept any reasonable
proof that would relieve our minds OF
the impression that the act of singing
out Mr.. Sumner as the only important
change in the Senate committees, was
for any other purpose than to crafty
the personal demands of the President
and one of his cabinet officers, but we
fail to find any such proof in Senator
Howe's pamphlet. 1t is unsatisfactory
to those who are searching for the truth
Its perusal is about as satistOry as eat.
ing soup with fork would be to hun.
CRY man. We are not a worshipper OF
Mr.. Sumner. We do not believe his
removal from committee is going tC
disrupt the party. 1t will probably
make no difference with the Republican
vote in 1872. But we do say that he
has furnished the party with as mucf
of its brains and as many of its vita
ideas as any man living. We do say
that the act of deposing him and putting
a man in his place whose name is tbs
i synonym of rottenness and corruption
was an unprovoked outrage, and thu
fewer pamphlets Mr.. Howe issues il
defense of that action, the more he viii
be respected by ali decent people.
