A REACTION4RT SPEECX

Sixteen years ago Mr.. Sumner was as
saulted in cowardly and brutal manner
by political opponent. who hoped to
punish him for his course in relation to
slavery. A worse thing for the democrat
ic party and better for Mr.. Summers
popularity could not have been done Mr..
Sumner was untitled for duty, but the
blows he received spoke more eloquently
for him than human lips could That
cruel and unjust assault which his antago-
mist designed for his annihilaton. placed
him in the front rank of the friends of free
dom, and gave him much of the prestige
which his name has borne in the Senate
and among his countrymen.
To-day Mr.. Sumner is suffering in some
degree as his cowardly antagonist suffered
sixteen years ago. His assault upon the
President has recoiled upon his own head
Its injustice and vindictiyeness have raised
up friends for the intended victim. The
warmest friends of Mr. Sumner condemn
1t. Mr.. Garrison is constrained to write
TO the Massachusetts Senate in strong
terms OF disapproval, telling him that his
speech is ill judged" sill timed" sex
travagant in its charges bitter in its
personalities" and entirely opposed to the
sentiment OF Massachusetts The whole
republican press censures it.
The effect of it upon Senator Logan
represents that which it has upon other
republicans. 1t is understood that I,ooan
has not been on friendly terms with the
President for the past two years. He has
been regarded with Il feeling of distrust
by republicans because Of his GOODNESS
toward the administration. Indeed he
openly declared his opposition to the re-
nomination of President Grant. But when
he heard the President assaied with such
bitterness and malignity as characterised
the speech of Summer. he forgot his own
resentments in the Indignation he felt, and
made the most effective reply that the OPP
portunity allowed him. Says one cores.
pondent General Logan In his indig-
.'nant response TO Mr.. sumner. gave voice
TO the feeling and expression which, on
.reading Mr.. Summers almost measure
..less vituperation OF Grant, will rise in

.'wore the blue and followed the flag"

Perhaps no part of the speech has re

Perhaps no part of the speech has re-
ceiyed more severe condemnation, or met
with more ready denial than that in re-
lation to Secretary Stanton. Logan and
Conkling were ready with effective denials
for which they were able to find matter in
all the speeches OF Stanton in 1868. thus
making the living words of the Secretary
himself give the lie to the words which
Sumner put in his dying lips. Mr.. Car
penter's reply on this point was particular
" severe He told OF what he knew of
the relations existing between Stanton and
Grant, and electrified the Senate by de-
claring that he believed the whole story of
Sumner was a baselcss fabrication Il IS
said by one writer that there was a look
''of almost speechless horror in the face
''of Senator Schurz as Mr.. Carpenter de-
'clared this, which was so marked as to
''call to it much attention.
Amongst all classes of republicans there
is but one voice in regard to it--that of
condemnation. We never knew a public
man drop more suddenly under the ban of
public opinion, than Mr.. Sumner has.
Those who have regarded him with sort
OF reverence for his past acts and be-
lieyed in his honesty and good judgement
are shocked and sadly disappointed. On
the other hand defenders of Grant are
springing up everywhere. Thousands are
following the example of Logan. and re-
peating in his spirit the fitting reply he
made to Sumner The Senator will find
when he returns to his constituents in
Massachusetts that his reception will be
chilling, and nowhere more cold than
among those who have trusted and be-
icved in him most

SUMNER AND STANTON.

The assertions of Mr.. Sumner in relation
to Secretary Stanton's disclosures to him are
meeting with prompt denials from various
sources. The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald says: 1.-The personal
friends of the late Secretary Stanton are high
ly indignant over the course of Senator Sum
ner in making use of bis name as authority
for a statement concerning General Grant
that is known to be contrary to the oft ex-
pressed views Of the deceased state sman, and
which he cannot either retute or explain, and
in giving notice Of his intention to-day to
vindicate the memory Of the dead Secretary,
Senator Chandler spoke for nearly the whole
body OF Mr. Stanton's intimate associates in
public life. 1t is remembered that the first
person Of distinction to congratulate General
Grant upon his nomination at Chicago was
the Secretary of War; who, for that purpose
and to the establishment Of those in his office,
left the War Department, in which he had
been kept close prisoner through the efforts
of President johnson to dispossess him, in
violation of law, and went across the street
to General Grants headquarters, where his
manner towards the embryo President was
so Enthusiastically sincere and cordial that
General Grant was visibly affected by it, This
visit was the subject of much comment at
Ars,y Headquarters at the time, because, al
though the relations Of the Secretary and the
General of the Army had always been cordial
and the latter had often acknowledged the un.
reserved support and confidence he had re-
ceived from Mr. Stanton, the position Of the
latter with regard to General Grants candi-
dature for the Presidency was not understood,
owing to the Secretary's habitual reserve.
The conduct of Mr.. Sumner at this juncture
is untavorably contrasted with that of Mr.
Stanton in regard to a circumstance somewhat
identical. The latter had more than once
been made by President Lincoln the recipient
of his views concerning the Massachusetts
Senator, and they were too much in accord
with those now entertained by Mr. Summers
enemies, concerning his egotsm and AFRO
gance and the paucity Of his recent achieve.
ments, to be fattering to his vanity. On one
occasion in particular, while in the Secreta-
rvs room in the War Department, Mr.. Lin
coin lost his temper in warming up with his
oft recurring theme, and demanded to know
what Sumner had ever done that he should
presume to dictate the whole policy of the
government on every question and brand with
treason and imbecility the men who had done
the work of the nation, while he stood vapor-
ing with idle words Neither before nor after
the death Of Mr.. Lincoln did the Secretary,
who made the best excuses for Sumner that
he could devise at the time, ever repeat the
occurrence to anybody so far as known, and
only the excited manner and loud tones of the
President, which carried the conversation
outside the private ROOM preserved the Incl
dent for the future.
