Monday Afternoon, June 3.
SENATOR SUMMERS LATEST ATTACK ON
THE PRRSInENT.


The latest assault of Senator Sumner on the
President-his elaborate four hours speech Of
Friday afternoon-does him infinitely greater
harm than the object of his attack. Great az
are Mr.. Summers Abilities profound his re-
searches, and cloudless his official character,
they do him none too much credit, il he is to
continue detracting from them by acts so unjus-
tiiiable az this speech.
For there is absolutely no new thing in this
long and laborous address. He specifics no
charge against the President, not already made,
repeated, and re-echoed by legions OF personal
enemies and political opponents. MIR. Sumner
has undertaken, it would appear, t o sum up all
the chapter Of attacks which the New York Sun
and similar ibelers of infamous repute, have
been repeating for three years, and which have
been time and time again, dissipated into thin
air by investigation, and answered or explained
in manner satisfactory to the people. Among
them is the charge OF appointing relatives to
office, it being admitted by Mr.. Sumner that
these all, remote family connections included
reached but thirteen in number, out OF the many
thousand official positions which the President
is required to fill. The charge that he has
received ''presents" is re-hashed, and finally biz
proposition to annex San Domingo, and the con
sequent result which Mr., Sumner terms " the
insult to Hayti!"
These are the bulk of the speech. They are
old stories, newly put to an i'll use. Senator
sumner is capable of greater and worthier work,
aud his tongue and pen have stopped low in thus
retailing at secondhand, the stale libels OF the
New York Sun. He may be sincere in his judg-
ment that the Presidents character does not
entitle him to denomination, but when he con-
siders that all the objections comprehended in
this speech have been frequently made, hereto
fore and that the people have not regarded
them a. conclusive, but have decided, on the
other hand that the President has well dis
charged his duty, and deserves sre-election-when
NIr. sumner considers these facts, we say, ht
must see that his case was already lost and hii
speech becomes only an empty repetition of re
iuted charges.
The futility Of this latest effort freshly prove
that the Presidents E record is substantially un
assAilable. The attacks made upon him hay,
been bitter, vigorous and frequent He hai
been openly assailed aud secretly slandered
Insidious efforts have been made to ensnart
him, as well as TO have him condemned. Bu
every attempt OF the sort has failed. His char
acter has successfully endured all these trials
and maintains itself high in the estimation o
the American people.

MIR. SUMMERS SPEECH OF NO AVAIL.
From the N. Y. Tlmesl
Nevertheless, il there is any sense Of justice
in the community, this hurricane OF slandor will
not prevail against tie truth. We believe the
people will recognize the fact that the President,
so far from violating the Constitution, has re-
spected it; so far from breaking the laws, has
executed them faithfully; so far from betraying
his country, has honestly and truly served it.
They will trust his good faith and good sense IN
the future, and will triumphantly elect him next

great deeds, and it is of little use to try to
abolish" the hero Of the WILDERNESS with desul-
tory readings from Virgil, Buckle and Sumner.

TgE APAcHEs UTTERLY BAD.

General Howard, who went out TO Arizona to
paclfy the hostile Apache Indians, is said to re-
port that kindness is thrown away on them, and
that they are robbers and murderers, who will
not be couciliated.' This is a very discouraging
statement it must be admitted, and if General
Howard has really made it, the hope of any more
humane policy toward the Apaches than the ex-
termination which the Borderers have so long
demanded, seems very slender. No doubt, the
Apaches are bad lot, and greatly inferior in ali
the capabilities of civilization to most of the
Northern tribes, but the advocates Of just treat
'uent have never been willing to believe them
utterly destitute Of the ordinary goodness Of
humanity.

This noble tree is thus capable Of mcasur-

which twelve persons can comfortably sit

,oston leather dealer. He met the lady
at Saratoga for the first time last season,
and she, by direction of her parents, who
,yere also wealthy, and who insisted on the
arrangement, became his atfianccd. Pre-
yious to this, she had met a young gentle
Iran, also from Boston, of the utmost re
spcctability, thorough honor and integrity,
at without fortune. To him she had been
something more than a friend in fact al
most bctrothed. He was young, had risen
ly his own efforts, and was, it is said, pos
sessed of sterling and promising abIltles,
which III time must have won wealth and
rerhaps distinction. On the return of the
lady from Saratoga last season her engage

Ills grief was piGifuI. He strove not to Tc-

and costly residence for one month after

\ BLACK STORY.-We never saw a page
or paragraph with more backing in tthan
tins tale of the two boot blacks. As an
CIOcutIOnary exercise you VIII find 1t equal
10 .'IheophIlus Thistle, the thistle SITTER"
During slight luil III business the other
day two Httie boot blacks, one white and
one black, were standing on a corner dong
nothing, when the white bOoJ-black agreed
10 back the black boot-black's boots.
Tie black boot-bIack was Of course " Ill
ing to have his boots BACKED 10y his fellow
boOt-black, and the bOot-blacK who had
agreed to black the black bOOt-black's $
boots went to work.
When the boot-black had BACKED one Of
the black boot-black' s boots till it shme III
Il manner that would make any boOt-black
proud, this boot-black who had agreed to
Llack the black boot-black boots, refused
10 black the other boot of the black boot
black, until the black boot-black who had
consented to have the white boOt-blacll
black his boots, should add five cents TO
the amount the white bOOt-black had made
Hacking other mems boots.
This lie black boot-black, whose one boot
had been blacked, refused to do, saying that
1t was good enough for black boot-blackt to
have one boot backed, and he didn't care
whether the boot that the boot-black hadn t
blacked was BACKED or not.
This made the bOOt-blaCk who had
BACKED the black boot-black's boot as
;ngry as a boot-black often gets, and he
vented his wrath by splitting upon the
blackcd boot of the black bOOt-black.
This reused the latent passions of the
black boot-black, and he proceeded to boot
the white boOt-black with the boot which
the white boot-black had BACKED. 4 fight
then followed The fraternity of boot
blacks then convened, and denounced the
action of the white and black boot-black as
ohe of the blackest in the pages of boot
black history.
