Snmasr will not suppor. Grant,

Washington Correspondent, Chicago Times.
Mr. Bowen, the editor and proprictor r
OF the New York Independent, has been
in Washington for several days canvass
ing public opinion. On Sunday last he
devoted as much time as possible to
INTERVENING CHARLES SUMNER.
He came here Grant man, and as such,
called upon Mr.. Sumner. Mr.. Bowen
was not long in finding out the Senator's
opinion OF, and future purpose relative
to L. s, Grant. Mr. Sumner said:
am satisfied that Grant is dishonest
man. That Is sufficient to Justify me in
saying most positively that cannot and
shall not support him For other rca
sons he is unfit to be President Of the
United States lie is ignorant Of the
details of civil government, and does
not manifest disposition to learn them,
He is venal, ambitious, vulgar in his
habits, and possesses cunning which is
low and dogged. He has strong will,
but it is never controlled by reason,
hence becomes pervcrse. and the man
when he should be most Yielding and
ncntleManlN is most oDsllhale anu uH-
manly. Such a man is unfit to be Presi-
den, of the United States and most Gnft
to be the candidate Of the Republican
party. He ought not to be nominated
by that party, and shall not if can help
it. cannot honorably support party
that will sustain such man. "
Mr.. Bowen then propounded to Mr.
Sumner the following question: "Sup-
pose the convention should place your
colleague, Mr.. Wilson, on the ticket
with Grant, what would you do in that
case" 81 would oppose it, was the
prompt response OF Sumner. Mr.. Bow.
en- then questioned the Senator upon the
possibility OF the nomination Of Mr.. Col
fax. and Mr.. Sumner said Il will sup.
port Mr. Colfax or any other good Re.
publican eheorfully'
This conversation has been the sub
ject cf discussion among the leading Re
publicans at the capitol and throughout
the city, and is the main cause Of the
mixed condition Of the outlook.

CLAYTON.
Tesltm ny Of Hon H. H. ChamJerlai,

Testimony Of Hen H. H. Chamberlain.
Special Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial,
The Clayton investigating committee.
is still in session, and to night complet-
cd the examination Of f.. ii. Chamber.
lain The witness is Republican, who
had been n member Of The Arkansas leg
islature from Pulaski county. and he was
relied on by Clayton's friends to dis
prove the charge that Clayton made a
bargain to give Edwards his Congress
certificate. Chamberlain, in fact, was
Clayton's principal witness, and this con,
fidence in him WAS probably due to his
having been appointed by Clayton q jus
tice of the peace. The examination com
mcnced on Thursday last, but the tone
of the witness soon satisfied the Clayton
attorneys that he was prepared to state
the truth, whereupon they released him
after ten minutes trial. The cross OK
animation then commenced, and lasted
continuously from Thursday, during the
sessions Of the committee until this of
te,uoon. Inc witness fully sustained
the charge that Clayton had been gov
crned Ivy ambitious personal motives in
having issued the certificate to Edwards,
and swore positively that the friends Of
Edwards and Clayton had made an ar
rangcment by which certain votes were
thrown out in Pulaski county This ac-
ton gave Clayton votes for tie Senate,
and afforded him the pre.cxt which he
demanded to give Edwards the cerii-
cate Witness further swore that mem
bers of the legislature had told him that
Clayton himself had offered them bribes
Of money and Office to have them vote
for him for the Senate at the second
election
An amazing feature Of this cross-ex-
animation was n suggestion from Clay
ton and his counsel that thev proposed
to impeach Chamberlain, but the commit
tee, AS matter OF course, decided it was
not competent for them to impeach their
own witness. The testimony Of Cham.
berlain was very damaging to Clayton,
and corroboratcd the worst allegations
made against the accused. Clayton still
insists that the testimony shall not be
published, but last week he caused the
publication of an ca pate statement of
evidence given by his own appointees

Tho Lioerl Republicans Of AikaIss
Moving.

The State Central committee OF the
liberal Republican party of this State had
a meeting in this city yesterday. and APP
pointed fifteen delegate to the National
Liberal Republican Convention, To be
held at Cincinnati on the first Monday
in May. We learn that the following
resolution was adopted;
Resolred, That at an early day the
committee will issue call for n State
convention for the purpose of nominal
ing candidates for State officers, upon Il
basis where all political parties may
unite as a people for the protection Of
their lives, liberties and their property,
as against the usurpation and eorrup
tions Of the present State government,
and that this cal! be made so general
that the entire people Of the State may
be fairly represented in convention.
We understand that several vacancies
in the committee have been filled with
prominent members of the Republican
party who have heretofore acted with
both Brindle aud Minstrel factions, and
everything put on a working basis. 1t
VIII Dc tii't tiit ttiibii NS'
mittce was appointed by the liberal Re
publican convention Of 1869, and. as We
understand, the committee has kept or
ganized and been quietly at work from
that time to the present. The proceed
ings in full Of that convention never
having been published we do not now
remember the names composing the com
mittec. We get the above facts from q
| gentleman who was present at the meet
| ing Of the committee, and who slyS.tlcy
are going abont this campaidm ~ rev"ss..ff
est. We await developments What cf
feet this new organization will have on
the Brindlcs or Miustrels, we are unable
at this time to say. Their platform,
from all we could learn, is the same as
that of the Brindles If it is, there is no
difference between the two that we can
discern at this time, except that these lib
eral Republicans do not pin their faith TO
Mr.. Grant, and propose to join in with
the reform Republicans Of the nations.
We did not learn the names of tho
delegates appointed to the Cincinnati
convention, Wepresumc all these things
will come forth when the committee sees
proper to cnighten the public-L, r.
