Senator Sumner has 7written.a letter ad-i
dressed to President A. D: White, ex-Santo.
Domingosommissioner In which he says that
he is surprised by MIR: Whites statement that
he had misrepre essnted the facts with regard to
Frederick Douglass. Mr. Sumner repeats
that his allusion was to the exclusion of Mr..
Douglass from the common table of the mail
packet, which exclusion he rebuked, and that
he said that President Grant carefully omitted
Douglass, who was In Washington at the time,
from the dinner to the commissioners, and
thus repeated the indignity. Mr.. Sumner
quotes the statements of A. M. Green and
James Wormley (colored) 10 show that Doug
lass complained Of the neglect, and felt 1t
keenly. Mr.. Sumner adds that Douglass ut his
house said that hefelt 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 President would have
been a proper rebuke to those who had in
suited him.
The Yokohoma Herald, describing a re-
cent Japanese festival, says: 1.-THE second
day was occupied with exhibitions OF the in
genlous daylight fireworks, OF the manufac-
ture of which the Japanese appear to be the
sole masters. AS usual these consisted mostly
of bombs, which, exploding high in the air,
discharged sometimes various colored jets OF
smoke, and sometimes closely folded packages
of wire and paper. which unfolded themselves
into parachntes of great bulk and Symmetrical
design. They were sometimes fish, which
SWAN leIsurely through the atmosphere to the
ground; or snakes, which writhed themselves
away over the tree-tops; or great birds, that
lowered kite-llke and motloness for an in
credible long time. Occasionally they took
the shape OF cottages, temples, human beings,
magniAed crests of daimios, trees and flow
ers-almost anything that 70 lively imagination
could suggest The smoke figures, however,
were the most amusing. One of the most ire
uuently attempted vas cutie fish, with a
body of thick fuliginous black, and arms of
lighter hues. Of course the Illusion was very
brief. the wind not allowing the smoke to re.
main undisturbed for more than few seconds;
but while it lasted 1t was perfect"
1t Is singular how soon goodness and gen.
tleness and womanly devotion are recognized
by the English people in any off the members
Of the royal family, and what almost personal
interest they seem to take in those who thus
make examples to the whole people, and
