Senator summers Views-Providence

ments, SC.
WASHINGTON, August l.

WASHINGTON, August l.
Senator Sumner was this morning the re-
clpient of large number ofletters and tele-
grams from prominent Republicans In all sec
tcns Of the country, heartily congratulating
him for the stand taken by him in his letter.
Most of these letters were written on Wednes-
day, as soon as the writer's had pernsed his
letter to the colored7 people. From large
number of Massachusetts Republicans he has
received telegram congratuatlng him, and
he has reason to believe that other promlneDG
men in his State will soon follow the ex-
ample OF General Banks and announce
theic support OF Greeley and Brown.
Mr.. Sumner says he cannot doubt
that the feeling of the country for
Greeley and Brown will assume the form Of
great revolution, which will sweep the
country as 1t has not been swept for years by
a political party. He looks upon the nemlna-
tion of Grant at Philadelphia as quite proV-
dental. Providence, he says, was wiser than
any of the politicians or public men OF lhe
country. If any other man than Grant had
been nominated, the Republican party would
have stood solid and united as before: Inen
the Democrats would have made stralght-out
nomination, and the bitterness and hostility
of wears would still have been kept up. BY
Grants nomination, however, many. Of the
hest men OF the Republican party were driven
off, and they, uniting with the Democrats,
formed party whose central Idea was recon-
cIliaLion and peace, recognition of the rights
of all men before the law, and On obliteratlon
of the bitter lines that have divided the differ
ent sections of the country since the war.
He Is very hopnful of the result, and does not
see what possible chance there is for Grants
reelection.
While some OF the Grant officials profess TO
be very anxious for civil service reform, and
pretend to oppose the assessment OF clerks
Tor political purposes, 1t Ia remarked that the
Chronicle this morning edttoriaily advocates
The. assessments, and intlmates that clerks
who will not subscribe should be removed.

ton hitherto aroused especial fears, which,
through Summers Intervention. have undeni.
ably been essentially removed. Moreover,
ner, after he has associated himself
with Greeley In this manner, will be
the soul of the administration. This
conclusion can not only be drawn from
the previous relations between the two men,
but also from the fact that in spirit, knowl-
edge and firmuess OF character. he Is not only
superior to Greeley, but to all OF Greeley's
friends. This eventuallty, then, must be kept
strictly In sight, with all its consequences.
Sumner, as Mentor of President Greeley, is a
greater guarantee for the fulflment of hopes
of reform than all platforms and all promises
with which Greeley stands before the people.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
DIsmay and Confusion Among the
GRANTEES.

WASHINGTON, August 2.
The reception of reports from North Carroll
ma, received here this morning, caused a
feeling of the most intense interest. In
official circles there was strong disposition
to d!scredIt all reports giving indications OF
Conservative success, and dispatches were re-
ce,ved by Cabinet ministers claiming that it
was certain that the Republicans had carried
the State. This lntinatiou was received In
the most welcome manner, and before noon
it was bruited throughout the city that reia.
BILE advices, coming from official sources and
directed to prominent members of the gov
ernment here, completely overthrow the first
suggestions that the Conservatives had been
successful.
Supervisor Perry telegraphed to Secretary
Delano early this morning that the Republi-
cans had carried the State by at least ten thou
sand majority, but this statement was not
readily accepted by all department officials
Secretary Robson was disposed to believe it,
or at least to believe that Ut meant Grant
victory.
Secretary Belknap doubted 1t, In view OF

The following is the letter of General N. P.

satlen to-day, the receipt of your invitation to

No invitation could have greater weight

me great pleasure to assure sou that nothing
could be added to your suggestions, as rep
resentative OF the citizens oil Lynn, 10 induce
me to accede to the request. Their kindness

greater satisfaction than 10 renew my associa.

former good and prosperity, nor to promote
the interests of any class OF citizens. No per-
sonal feeling of fany form or character enters
into this Judgment; 1t is In view ofgeneral
principles and public Interests alone that am
led 10 this conclusion. ..,.......-..
The uniting Of the masses of the people Of
all parties, sectious and races In the. support
of the grand results Of the war Is ,lndlspenaa-
BILE to the permanent establishment of the
general recognition of these results. It can
be secured by no other means; We shall all be
forced to this conclusion sooner or later This
united action on this basis has been the hope
of my lite. fervently desired 1t dHrlng the
war, and in the reconstruction of the States
subsequent to the war: believe 1t ls now ten
dered In good faith In the nomination OF hr.
Greeley, and, for one, cannot reject 1t. 1t
was what desired. Its co1summation, OIL
though sudden and startling, does not alarm
me. Ny duty 10 myself and my country re-
qnres me to give him my support. ! cannot
advocate before your friends different course
which neither my judgment nor my heart ap.
proves.
1t grieves me most deeply to separate N.Y.
self in thought or act from any one OF those
with whom have been so long associated.
and to whom am so greatly indebted, but I
believe that the result will justify my action,
give to the country that peace and prosperity
which is the object ofall our labors, and secure
to every citizen the civil and political equality
and freedom which was won by the sacrifice
OF 80 many valued lives.
Accept assurances OF my lasting friendship
and esteem, and believe me,

The special Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette telegraphs as follows.
We give it for what it is worth:
The effort being made to manufacture
capital for the Cincinnati convention by
circulating false reports from here is I'M
mistakably a sign Of weakness, which IS
well understood in Washington political
circles, but may not be abroad. A close
canvass of the Republican side of the House
to-day reveals the fact that every member
will support the nominee of the Philadel-
phia convention. Efforts have been made
to place Garfield and Dawes on the side OF
the Cincinnati convention, but these gen
tlemen Indignantly repudiate the impress
sion sought to be made. So far as the Re
publican side OF Congress is concerned, the
third party movement is dead. Chief JUS
tice Chase is in New York, insisting on
a Democratic convention, and nomlna-
ton by that body. He is fiercely opposing
Judge Davis. The latter is working vigor-
ously for himself, and is talking somewhat
indiscreetly. He regards Trumbull as his
chief rival and says if the people outside
of Illinois understood his trickery as well
as it is understood in that State, he would
not be dangerous. The third party move
ment has set two United States judges on
the Presidential track. There is now serious
talk of passing law making judges OF the
Supreme Court ineligible to any other office.
This may he necessary to preserve the
purity and dignity of the Judiciary.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1872
Percy ROselle.

This youthful actor, the young Edmund
Kean of the stage, will make his debut at
the Academy Of Music next Monday eve
ming. The London advertiser says of him
at the Drurv Lane Theatre:
On Saturday, in addition to the panto-
mime, the day performance here was en-
larged, being for the benefit of that most
extraordinary young actor, Percy Roselle.
This little gentleman SO thoroughly enters
into the spirit of the characters he repre-
sents, and renders them with such charac-
teristic touches and vivacity, that it is i'm
possible to have the idea Of a child present
while he is acting We see the tiny figure,
and hear the tiny voice; but there is SO
much perfection in his personation and
charac terization that we entirely ignore the
person. Young phenomenons of this kind
are generally painfully deficient in charac-
ter: but this young actor has such a thor
ough feeling for it that it is puzzling to
know by what experience he acquired it,
Genius, however, has that marvellous power
of acq uiring knowledge, that it battles
analysis, and seems, like electricity, to have
nothing to do with time. Master Percy
Roselle is certainly among the wonders OF
the age; and he is the only child actor we
ever saw who could give an idea OF the eA-
traordinary career of young Betty.
