SUMNER ON GRANT.-A correspondent of
the New York Herald gives an account Of an
interview" he had with Senator Sumner, in
which, he reports that Mr.. Sumner denounced
General Grant conduct in relation to the ar
nexation of San Domingo as "a gross usurpa-
ton of the war power, and a shameless violation
of the Constitution and further said =
"What does Grant lrow? He doesn't know
anything, sir. [ do not reuse lin of any
knowledge whatever. He is not a man capable
of understanding principles or of graspng any
thing in a comprehensive view. tie does not
understand the primary clement of the consti-
tutioaal requirements for war. ALI he knows
is how to execute. Put him on horse and
he'll blunder along somehow in the field

Had Thaddeus Stevens lived, he would have
found his equals, even in these days. He was
upheld by his party, simply because ne was
audacious in speech-there was, in truth, no
real courage about him. He was an EXTREME
unscruplous palty politician, and assumed a
leadership, to which he Was not entitled-but
which was yielded to him by men Of Interior
calibre. So WI be with Mr. Benjamin F.
Butler. There is nothing Of the Statesman
about him-nothing to command respect-or
secure attachment He is simply common
place partizan who desires place and power.
