WASHINGTON, August 3.-Senator
Sumner was the recipient OF large
number OF letters and telegrams from
all sections OF the country, heartily con-
g1atuletlng him ior the stand taken by
him in hia letter. Most OF these letters
were written on Wednesday, as soon as
the writer's bad perused his letter to the
colored people. From large number of
Massachusetts Republicans, be has re-
oelved telegram congratulating him,
and he has reason to believe that otht :
prominent men in his State will soon
follow the example Of Gen. Banks and
announce their support OF Greeley aud
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 it has not been swept for
years by, 2 political party. He looks
upon the nomination of Grant at Phila-
delphia .as quite prcvidential. Provi-
dence, he says. was wiser than any of the
politicians or public men of the country.
IT any other man than Grant had been
nominated, the Republican party would
have stood solid and united as before.
Then the Democrats would, have made q
straight-out nomination, and the bitter
ness and hostility OF years would still
have been kept up. By Grants nomina-
t1on, however, many Of the best men Of
the Republican party were driven off,
and they. uniting with the Democrats,
formed party whose central idea was
reconciliation and peace, recognition OF
theTights Of all men before the Law, and
an obliteration of the bitter lines that
haye divided the different sections OF the
country since the war. He is very hope
full Of the result, and does not see what
possible chance there is for Grants re-
eleotion.
While some of the Grant officials pro-
feas to be- very anxious for civil service
reform, and pretend to oppose the as
sessment Of clerks for political purposes,
it is remarked that the Chronicle this
morning editoriaily advocates the assess
ments, and intimates that clerks who
will not subscribe should be removed.

WAsHINaToN, August 1T is learned
that DR.. u. B. Withers, of Warrenton,
has challenged Col. j. w. Mosby. The
difficulty arose, it is supposed, from a
Joint political discussion. Tho chal-
lenge was promptly accepted. but both

Gerritt Smith has visited the Ku Klnx
priBoners'at Albany, and urges clemenoy
in the cases Of Samuel G. Brown, aged
sixty, Who pleaded guilty nnder bad ad-
vice, and. Hezekiah Porter. aged nine-
teen, who is dying, and also David COL
lins: Mr. Smith says, in mis- letter to
President Grant. that Shotwell, one OF
the North Carolina men, is defiant and
acorns pardon, and is studying law.
Mr.. Smith. however, suggests these par
'dons should be postponed until after
the election, as it might be thought that
clemency was prompted by interested
motives. The letter is quite short, and
80 ouriously written that the entire force
OF experts in the Attorney Generals
Office was required to put it in shape,
that Grant would be able to master its
purport.
Nothing, either through private or
regular channels, comes to change the
probable success of the Conservatives in
North Carolina, as far as heard from. A
despatch states that Caldwell, Republi-
can, has gained about $500 votes over
the Democratic vote in 1870. At mid
night. Saturday. sixty-three Counties
show Q Republican gain of 1850 over
the vote Of 1870. A later despatch states
that seventy-one Counties give CAld we'll
q Republican gain OF 2,737 votes over
the vote Of 1870, leaving 2,268 to be
overcome by Republicans in the remain
ing twenty-one Counties.
