The Dep0sing of Mr.. Sumner.

cai biunder, and the storm of protest that
came from every quarter OF the Union from
the press of the country, aud now attend
one Of these itineratiug Congressman's
speeches. wherein he tells MS that it was a
common affair. and one necessary to the
peace and harmony Of Congress and the
President. 1t is well to refer to the record.
This Is a safe way, and is much better
than TO take any mans mere say 80 now
Mr.. Scofield said the other evening that
the reason why Mr.. Sumner was removed
was because he refused to hold any inter-
course with Secretary Fish. This is the
merest ''bosh." Let Us introduce Senator
Wilson's testimony, the present candidate
for the Vice Presidency. given March 10th,
ISL. when this question was before the
Senate for action:
Mr.. Wis MIR. President. the Sena-
tor from Wisconsin. Mr.. Howe. l. ac-
knowledged by us all to be gentleman of
eminent capacity and high personal char
actcr.
If any body in the Senate can give a
good reason for the action now proposed,
surely that Senator can do so. He has
taken the floor aud addressed the Senate
in support of the proposition before Us,
and sir | am mistaken If he gave reason
for this action that can convince the judy
ment oithe Senate ofthose who have listen
ed to his remarks. or the country that shall
read his speech.
The Senator closed his remarks by a
denial that this action Is influenced by the
san Domingo question. lie says certain
Senators on th- Committee have not been
interIered with. Well. Mr.. President, we
do know at the commencement of the last
session an effort was made to change the
Committee on Foreign Relations because
that Committee opposed the acquisition OF
sam Domingo. some OF us remember
WHY and how il was defeated.
Sir the truth is. and everybody knows
1t. aud il Is useless for the Senator from
Wisconsin or any other Senator to deny it.
thar this proposition to remove my col
league grows ont of the san Domingo qne--
ton. Ii then never had been an effort to
annex san Domingo we should have had
no attempt to change the Craftsmanship
of the Committee on Foreign Relations. or
to remove members of that Committee.
During the wear that has passed we have
been disturbed. the country has been Ill
vided by this question OF annexation.

will come To the conclusion that at the
bottom OF it all lies this san Domingo
question.
