Henry j. Raymond used to say that
the most arduous and important work
Of newspaper was done by reporters,
and just before his death he planned a
radical change in the Times, by which
the city department of that paper was to
take precedence of all others, and the
best men in the paper were to be employ
ed and the highest salaries paid in it.
His untimely death put an end to this
project; but the Times always had and
still retains some of the ablest and best
paid reporters on the metropolitan
press.

sent you an article that was ineerted
in your paper on Saturday, alluding to
what / regarded as reprehensible in your
paper, in its course as to Senator Summer,
and the difficulty forced on him against
his honest convictions. To have justified
yourself, to have replied to the article, you
would have had to point out facts, to
prove your intimations unfavorable to
Charles Sumner. Instead of doing so,
you make no reference to the same, but
furnish your readers with column and a
quarter article, alluding to Charles Sumner
in manner unfair, not satisfactory, self
condemning.
Charles Sumner has been a United
States Senator but twenty years. You say,
"for t,centy gears he not only filled his
place with honor to himself, but adorned
the station with all the graces which
learning, culture, experience and genius
could bring to it." This is not diabolism.
He is king in these virtues, and, therefore,
| exclaim, though 'The king is dead,
long live the king" Charles Sumner is
not dead. You admit by inference, that
the present thought of the populace does
not approve of his removal from the com
mittee on foreigu relations and that you
rely on supposed "sober second thought
of the people, on which you seem to hope.

it was "diabolical," deviish and wick

in fact it is libel upon "the noblest Ro-
man of them all" who, while he has made
himself distinguished as the defender OF
justice, through the black man, has never
been known to do mean thing to any
human being. This is too serious a charge
to go forth unchalenged. l deny the as
sertion made by you, and call for the evil
dence. Prove also that "Mr. Sumner
