SENATOR SUMNER SPzECH.-We give in
another place a synopsis of the speech made
by Senator Sumner, in the Senate, Friday
last, in Arrangement of President Grant
The speech is very lengthy and acrimoniously
bitter. We cannot regardi it in good taste,
and it certainly will be productive Of no good
to or harmony in the Republican party.
That Mr.. Sumner has personal grievan ces to
complain of in respect to his treatment by
the Executive and the Administration Sen
ators, no one doubts; but these afford little
excuse for great mind to strike at the very
life Of party upholdjng principles upon
which the welfare of the nation depends.
We believe Mr.. Sumner has been led by bis
private animosities into a false position, aud
we cannot better explain our views relative
to his mistake than to copy the letter Just
written the honorable Senator by his lifelong
friend, William Lloyd Garrison
RoxBURY June l, 1872.
DEAR Mr.. SUMNER: | owe it to you to say
with all the frar lzness which sober friend

The WASHINGTON TREATY.-The present
situation seems to be that England refuses t.
accept the e. 5. Senate modification Her
Maiesty's government held that Dy the articl,
adopted by the Senate cases of bad faith and
wilful misconduct resulting in the failure 70
observe strict neutrality, are brought within
scope Of the proposed agreement which deals
with pecuniary compensation. The govern
mcnt of the United States, Earl Granville is
persuaded, does not believe that there is any
such difference Of objects between the two
governments in the definition and limitation
which each desires to place upon the liability
of neutral, TO prevent any agreement on
the language in which such liability can be
expressed if time be allowed for the exchange
OF views IN some more trustworthy manner
than by the use of the telegraph. Under
the circumstances the British government
must decline to sign the treaty, which is not
in conformity with their views and which
does not express the principle which the
American government believes to be enter
tanned by both parties TO the negotiations,
and which Immediately alter being signed
would become the subject Of negotiation
with the view to It's alteration. In this
position her maJesty's government repeat
their readiness to extend the time allowed
for the arbtrators to meet at Geneva.
When these . high contracting parties 7
are able to make each other understood there
will probably be no difficulty in arranging a
settlement, provided both sides are honest in
their proposed intentions to understand each
other, and to make up. There is nothing
certain vet as TO the settlement of issues
between the United States and England.

METHODIST Book CONCERN Tribune
thus sums up the result Of the long and
laborious investigation into the alleged
frauds of the Methodist Book Concern as
presented in the report of the Special Com
mittee.
The business methods of the department
afforded opportunities for frauds which were
taken advantage of by subOrdinates ; there
has been great lack of system in the book
keeping OF the house; the losses sustained
are not large enough to impair the capital
or financial standing of the Concern; there is
no evidence that any agent or assistant agent
has been implicated in any frauds on the
Concern; the present methods Of keeping
accounts, though imperfect, are reasonable
safeguards against dishonesty; purchasing
paper through James +. Porter and the busI-
ness transaction with Brown Brothers L Co
are both denounced as improper and IN
authorized; the Committee have no opinion
as to the trustworthiness of the financial ex-
hibit made by the agents of the Book Concern
to the General Conference. Furthermore,
the Committee find that frauds were com
mitted in the bindery and the manufacturing
department while Hoffman was in charge.

New York on Saturday last, aged ~ years.
lie was a Scotehman by birth, and a " liberal
Catholic - in his religious belief. His career
as a journalist has been most successful and
has national prominence. Starting from
the lowest round of the profession, he leaves
it at the very highest point it has yet
arrived as at a business success, in this or anv
other country. As a journalist he had
wonderful ability. He was 4 vigorous writer
and had an infinite tact for organic ltion and
enterprise. He never attached himself to
any party or had any fixed principles OF
action. His aim was to make great news
paper, and he certainly has succeeded in the
Herd aid. Its editorials never have had much
Influence but II had deserved popularity and
power from it's fullness of news from all
points of the globe. Mr. Bennett had q
genius for news collecting and his remarkable
career will long be held up as a signal illus
tratlon OF devotion to single purpose, and
that as worthy as any that is included in the
wide circle of civilized pursuits.

ONE TERN PRTNCIPLE.-The LanaoiUe Ne5rs.
dealer in speaking of the call for a County
Convention says:
Our new biennial system will have ten
deney to bring out our best men. and
there are plenty of them, so we may expect
good ticket from the large list of good
names to select from. There seems to be a
disposition among the Republicans of the
County TO make an entire new ticket for
county officers, as the " one term principle
is universally favored and will doubtless be
adopted. The present board will retire with
an honored record of good service and take
with them the respect of the people.
Public sentiment, so far as we can learn
points with great unanimity to Hon. III. II
Powers as candidate for Senator. and we
doubt not that his eminent fitness and gen
eral popularity throughout the county will
give him the nomination without opposition

Senator Br0WnlOW, of Tennessee,
made an exhibition in the Senate
yesterday which tehected little cred
it on either that body or himself
He undertook to reply to some re
marks made by Mr.. Beck, of Ken
tucky, in the House Of Representa-
tives some weeks ago, in which he
fBFOwnlow) was referred to, in con-
junction with others, as persons who
have stepped from a career Of out
rage and plunder. in the Southern
States, into the position Of United
States Senators. "The time was, :"
said Brownlow, whose speech was
read for him from the Clerk desk,
that if Beck had dared to apply
such language to him he would have
taken Beck's slave-driving whip and
laid il over his back" He went on
to refer to Beck as one who had a
bandoned the occupation of an host
Ter for that of q slave-driveT, and as
having sunk so low as to be unWOr-
thy Ot notice. BroWnlOE was nOti-
fed by Vice President Colfax, before
the reading cf-his speech was com
menced, that the parliamentary rule
prohibited any ailusion being made
in one House of Congress to what
had taken place in the other, and
when the reading of the speech had
reached this point, the Vice Presi
dent interrupted it as a transgTession
Of the rule. But Blair, OF Missouri,
inteFfered, and asked that the read
ing be allowed tn proceed, remark
ing that as there was no precedent
for q Senator acquiring his seat iE
the manner that Brownlow had ac-
quired his, he could see no objection
70 allowing him to continue a strain
of language so-Well BETTING him.
And so the reading of Brownlow's
diatribe was resumed and completed.
But it Willrequire a great deal more
than personal abuse or personal jus
tificatioR from snch q source to con
vince the people that Mr. Beck was
very far fiom the truth when he
charged old Brownlow with having
made pandemonium of Tennessee,
and when he represented him and the
other carpet-bag Governors of South
ern States as having escaped the pen
itentiary by getting into the Senate.

The Calcium BuPuer.

Almost every paper We lick up
has an account Of a lamp explosion,
very nequeHtly killing persons and
burning houses, and the difficulty is
all owing to the effectiveness OF
lamp burners. But this difficulty
has been overcome in the Calcium
Burner, which has a tube to convey
off the gas aeeumulating on the oil
and at the same time consumes it,
thereby producing a light far better
than common burners. and almost

mutual admiration sprung up be-
tween the gallant young army officer
and the fascinating belle, which soon
ripened into love. But the fates
we're not propitious. The parents
objected to the match so persistent
~ that General Eweil, becoming
piqued, did not press his suit as
otherwise would. The duties
t-f military life carried him to the
frontiers; yet throughout al the
stirring campaigns in which lie bore
3 conspicuous part, he carried with
him the image Of his early love,
dreaming, in the pauses of the battle,
OF the time when he might yet win
from the unwilling hands of fame
q distinction which should commend
him to the fathers esteem.
Meantime the daugher, with that
high sense of honor peculiar to her
race, and q filial devotion almost
without parallel, addressed herself
rs best she could TO the meek OBJ
servances of dutiful life-eeasing
to communicate with, vet. IN secret
cherishing her hearts one idol. An
other won her hand, and in her
twentieth year she married an est
mable gentleman and settled with
him on a beautiful farm near Spring
Hill, Tennessee. A short time be-
fore the war she was left a widow,
free to bestow her hand again on
whom she would. But she had never
forgotten her giriish vows. Through
AL the stormy life of him who first
won her affections she followed, With
her prayers and tears, her idol-her
hero-Yho was winning laurels on
distant fields. When st the battle
of Wilderness, In May, 1861, he was
stricken down at the head of his
columns, Mrs. Mary Polk Brown
laid aside all minor considerations
and flew on the wings of love TO his
bedside, nursing him through all his
suferings until he was again able to
take command. It was shortly after
his recovery that the dream of q
long and eyentful life was realized
by the consummation of his early
hopes, and these twain, devoted in
youth, parted for a quarter Of a cen
tury, met at last in the shadows Of
declining years to pledge anew that
faith which had waxed stronger
through the trying ordeal OF long
separation"

The Rich and Paor

WHAT'S wealth. Wealth is whatcv-
er man can realize from nature for
their sustenaHee and eujorment.- -
Labor is what realizes it. Prudence
saves from it, and the savings be-
comes capital, which helps to ex-
tend and multiply the operations Of
labor, and thus create more capital.
The wealthy are composed OF those
who have inherited property from
Others, those who have it accidently
and those who have realized for
themselves. The poor. in like man
beT, are composed ofthose who have
inherited poverty from others, those
who have become poor througiI ac-
cident. and those who have bronght
poverty upon themselves. The most
familiar mode Of producing power
ty Is by idleness. A man who will
not work realizes no wealth; be
is Of course poor. Or he squanders
in some absurd manner the earnings
that he does realize, and thus re
mains poor rs if he did not work.
