Mr.. Summers Failure.

| Mr. Sumner, finally. under protest
on his part, and compulsion on that
of the committee, managed to growl
out a few surly answers on the
French armes business, every one OF
which went to show that the Massa-
chusetts Senator has made himself
Extensively officious and been most
alphabetically hostile to his govern
ment in challenging it for transac-
tions with foreign belligerent in
the temper and manner of the attor-
ney or plenipotentiary of the bellig-
erent of the other party. In his own
testimony, Sumner figures as spy
on his government, acting in collu-
sion with Chamhrum and Bellonet,
French officials at Washington, in
making up the case to show viola
! ton of our neutrality favorable to
France and against Germany. 1t is
notorious that Germany has not
complained of any such breach of
our neutral obligations; but it is not
so well known that since Sumner ex-
ploded his "bomb shelr' in the Sen
ate, the official organ of the Imperial
government at Berlin has expressly
disclaimed having any cause of COM
plant against our government, and
declared the entire satisfaction of the
German government with the friend
illness of the United States. The or
gan alluded to, the Norddeutsche
Auegemeine Zetung, of Berlin, on
this point, says:
"When the fact of these sales dur
ing the war was brought to the notice
of our department of foreign affairs,
a thorough investigation of the sub
ject took place, and our government
arrived at the conclusion that it
would not be justified in complain
ing of the course pursued by the au-
thorities of the United States in re-
ference to the affair Irregularities,
such as were alluded to during the
recent debate in the American Senate,
have undoubtedly occurred; but they
were certainly not important enough
to be regarded as violations of inter-
national courtesy, much less of fla
grant breaches of neutrality. No
complaints were addressed, in con-
sequence, by our government to the
cabinet of Washington at the time
when the transaction in question took
place, and none will be made now, es-
peeially as the government of General
Grant has uniformly conducted itself
toward this country in manner 80
friendly and upright that the rela-
tions of the two governments have
been, and are now, Of the most cor
dial nature

The New York Herald, which has
the reputation of trimming its sails to
the popular breeze, thus speaks of the
Connecticut election:
Connecticut establishes the fact
that the lines of the Republican par
ty remain unbroken around the ad
ministration, and that the boilers will
be as powerless against the re elec-
tion of Grant in 1872 as were the bolt
ers 1882 against Jackson, or as were
the malcontents of 1864 against the
re- e-election of Lincoln.

Thos. A. Corccran on Murat Hal
stead.
IFrom the Cincinnati; Commoner.l

In the House of Representatives
yesterday afternoon, Hon. T. A. Cor
coran, of Hamilton, arose and deliv-
cred one of the "hottest' personal
speeches ever given in a public As
sembly. MI. Corcoran has been an
object of persistent attack by the
Commercial, and his speech occupy
ing two solid columns, was of most
savage and sanguinary character. If
Mr.. Halstead will fight-if he has
the personal courage which his
friends ascribe to him--he can hard
ly avoid demanding either a retrac-
ton Of the charges made by Mr.. Cor
coran and the language used, or else
the satisfaction of gentleman. We
give the closing paragraphs OF Mr..
| Corcoran's speech:
"The vices of other men are HAL
stead's virtues. Baseness is an in
stinct in him. The impulse which
drives him from one in adversely 10
| one in prosperity is as irresistible as
that which drives the swallow and
butterfly toward the sun when the
gloomy winter days are near.
''No one escapes his indiscrmin-
ate abuse and shameless mendacity
The aged father of the President,
stricken down by disease, totterirg
on the verge of the grave; Senators
of this General Assembly-men OF
untarnished honor and unimpeacha-
bic integrity; the honored Speaker
of this House-all have been ma
ligned, abused and vilified and cal
minated by this venal scribler, who
shrinks from no employment, how
ever Infamous when others equally
base are willing to employ him. He
never spares man in his hate or wo-
man in his lust IF the proper slim
illus be applied, he is ever eager, like
a Malay running muck, to cut and
stab every one he meets, whether
friend or foe. His life, like his pa
per, is daily lie-a conclusive ex.
ample Of total depravity. This cen
sor of the public morals. who lamelts
the degeneracy of the age, and weeps
over a repblic ruined because moral
ity and integrity are found wanting
in high places comes reeking from
the stews and brothels of Cincinnati
wherein courtesans furnish him con-
genial society for nights of pleasure
and Inspiration for days of duty
This monster of depravity, unable to
satiate his beastly lust in the haunts
of those as abandoned as himself
seeks the society of the innocent and

NEW DIRK, dec. a, 1871.
My DEAR Mr.. FIELD: Excuse my
delay in writing you. The excite.
ment occasioned by the visit of the
Grand Duke Alexis has but just ceas
ed, and have bee wholly engrossed
by the various duties connected with
his presence.
have wished for few calm mo-
ments to put on paper some thoughts
respecting the doings of the great
Telegraphic Convention. to which
you are delegate.
The telegraph has now assumed
such marvellous position in human
affairs throughout the world its in
fuences are SO great and important
in all the varied concerns of nations
that its efficient protection from in
jury has become necessity. 1t is a
powerful advocate i1r universal peace.
Not that Of itself it CAL command a
"Peace, be STILL to the cngry waves
of human passions but that by its
rapid interchange of thought and
opinion gives the opportunity OF ex-
plantations to acts and to laws which
in their ordinary workings often
create doubt and suspicion.
Were there no means of quick ex-
planation, 1t isreadily seen that do ubt
and suspicion, working on the sus-
capabilities of the public mind, would
engender misconception. hatred, and
strife. How important, then, that in
the intercourse of nations there should
be the ready means at hand for
prompt correction and explanation
Could there not be pissed, in the
great international convention, some
resolution to the effect that. in what
ever of peace or war between nations,
the telegraph should be deemed a
sacred thing. to be by common con-
sent effectually protected, both on
land and beneath the waters?
In the interest of happiness, of that
'sPeace on earth," which, in announc-
ing the Advent Of the Savior, the an
gels proclaimed, with "good will to
men," I hope that the convention
will not adjourn without adopting q
resolution asking Of the nations theil
united effective protection to thi:
great agent OF civilization.
The mode and terms of such reso-
luton may be safely left 10 the intel.
ligent members of the honorable and
distinguished convention. Believe
me as ever, your friend and servant
