ALBANY, Aug. 0.
The Evening Journal, to-day, pub
fishes long letter from Hon. Andrew
ID. White, who was one of the San
Domingo commissioners, denying Sen
atOr summers statements concerning
the ill-trcatment of Frederick Doug
lass.
Mr. White shows that the comfort Of
Mr.. Douglass was well provided for on
the steamer and he was treated as well,
in all RESPECTS. as the best during the
stay ut lie commission at the san
Dominican Capital. Mr.. Douglass lived
at Their house and at at their table.
After landing at Charleston, this treat
ment was continued. When they were
embarked upon the Potomac steamer,
the Commissioners, having seated them
selves ut the public table, found that
Douglass was not with them. On en-
quiring, they learned that he had been
refused admittance to the dining room,
on account of his color. Having re-
monstrated against this in vain, the
Commissioners and all Immediately
connected with them, left the table. On
arriving in Washington, both Douglass
and Sigel left for their homes, their
duties having ended. 1t was then that
with the President, and had Douglass
and Sigel been in the city, Mr.. White
has no doubt they would have been in
cluded in the invitation. Mr.. White
expresses great surprise that Mr.. sum-
ner should have perverted the facts in
the case, as he thinks, so grossly,

TER Washington, ID. c., Aug. IL
Senator Sumner has written letter to
Proeident \. u. White ex-San Domin-
90 Commissioner in which he says that
he is surprised at Whites statements,
that he misapprisehended the facts with
tegard to Frederick Douglass. Mr.
Sumner reports that his alluson was to
the exclusion Of Douglass from the com.
mon table of the Potomac mail packet,
which eXcu.ion he rebuked, and that he
said President Grant carefully omitted
Douglass, who was in Washington at
the time, from the the dinner to the
Commissioners, and then repeated the
indiguity. Mr.. Sumner quoted the state
lnents of A NJ Green aud Jas. Wormby,
(colored) to show that Douglass compla-
iued Of pegIect and felt it keenly. Mr..
Sumner adds that Douglass, at his house
said he felt the Presidents neglect,
which was less excusable, as he had gone
to San Domingo at the express invitation
of the President, and on his return was
insulted on board the Potomac mail
packet, and that an investigation by the
Pre- ,dant would have been proper re-

that Bellows Falls was to be honored
with visit from him? The public
announcement was soon made, a large
crowd was assembled, with band Of
