WaslttRgt0H, March Ex-senator Sum-
ner, who was subpmnaed to appear before
the sale-of-arms committee to-day, entered
another protest, and gave his testimony
under protest. He declared that he did
not think the committee any more compe-
tent to-day than yesterday, and continued /:
81 still find on the committee several occu-
pying seats in violation of an unquestiona-
BILE rulo of parliamentary law. The record
shows that they signalized themselves in
the Senate against the pending inquiry, or,
according to the language of the old rule,
against the thing and, therefore, disqual-
flied themselves as much as judge who
has been counsel in case or Juror who
has declared his opinion beforehand"
The examination which was then pro-
ceeded with was quite spicy. The following
occurred during its progress:
Mr.. Hamlin- Would you deem it the
duty of a patriotic senator to inquire of q
foreign representative in relation to ques-
ton which would put your own govern
ment in the wrong, those governments
making no complaint themselves ?
Mr.. Sumner-That is an abstract cues
ton, and no such question here arose.
The question here was
Mr.. Hamlin-I did not ask you what the
question here was.
Mr.. Sumner-l'll answer it in my own
way. 1t is adequate to this case.
Mr.. Hamlin-I'll ask an answer, how
ever.
Mr.. SUMNER decline to answer.
AT this point Mr.. Carpenter asked
similar question, to which Mr.. Summer re-
piled that it was broad and abstract ques-
ton.

SCHUYLER CoLFAx has a splendid ar
ticle in the Independent on Republican as
tendency in the nation, from which we
take the following extract:
Can the ascendency of the Republican
party in our nation be safely or wisely sur
rendered? Virginia, West Virginia and
North Carolina were all, after reconstruc-
ton, Republican states. The former state
was carried against the regular Republican
nominees for Governor, &C., by what was
called Conservative Republican ticket,
the candidates on which claimed during the
canvass to be better friends of the Presi-
dent than their opponents, even tele-
graphing their congratulation to him
when they won their victory. Has
any one heard of any tliumphs for
Republican principles or ideas in its legis-
lation since, or in the Constitutional Con-
vention of West Virginia, or in the Ku-
Klux dens of North Carolina ? When or
ganized conspiracy, violence, whipping mu-
tilation, arson, and murder defy, as in some
states now, the national as well as the lo-
cal government and laws, despite President,
Cabinent, Congress, and all the power of
the nation being known to be on the side of
those whom they seek to intimidate and
outrage, how much more deplorable would
De the condition of their poor victims with
the Republican party out Of power :?
Would their hopes of protection increase ?
Would their wicked and brutal enemies
stay their hands &?
Would our national credit, the right arm
of our country in time of peril, (more pow
erful than an army, because by it armies
and nayies can be called into existence
when needed be strengthened by the over
throw of Republican ascendency? Under
Republican administration it has steadily
improved, here as well as abroad. A party
that never bowed the knee to prejudice,
and dared to risk the odium of most
burdensome taxation when needed to
keep our flag flying in the field, and which,
when peace came, dared to reduce taxa
tion, year by year, only to such an extent
as would not hazard our finances, inspires
confidence that no other organization
could command. And its result is seen in
the prosperity Of the nation, the develop
ment of its resources, the enlargement Of
its productions, the maintenance of the
wages of labor, the increased deposits Of
the poor in savings banks, the steady de-
cline in the gold premium, and the apprecia.
ton in the value of our currency and
bonds.
