The Honorable Charles Sumner, in re-
ply to letter of inquiry from three or
four colored men, as to what action the
colored voters of the nation should take
in the presidential contest now pending,
and as to which of the candidates will,
if elected, be most likely to enforce the
requirements of the Constitution and the
laws respecting their civil and political
rights, points his finger at Greeley, and
reiterates the sentiments of his famous
nine column speech on nepotism, in a let
ter not quite as long as the speech. He
reviews San Domingo, speaks of insulted
Hayti with its 100000 blacks, talks of
despotism, outrages, military rings,
nepotism, absenteeism, gift-taking, dis
regard of constitution and law, &C., &c.
He says that Grant has at his back di-
versifed army of ofice-holders, drilled
to obey the word of his command that
he deserves impeachment for high crime
and misdemeanors that he delights in
strife and when he finds no enemy he
falls upon friend We wish we had
the space to print the letter, but we are
aware that a majority of our readers care
more for the solid news of the day, than
for speeches continued. 1t is evident
that the people of the country can not
think that our President is the bold, bad
man that Mr. Sumner represents him
to be. Mr.. Sumner says that Grant is
quarrelsome man. Mrs. Sumner also
says that Charles is quarrelsome, and
that she can not, and a0iU not live will
him. Grant don't like Sumner; Sum
ner don't like Grant. Both stubborn
Greek meets Greek" Grant is mar
of few words and keeps still, Sumner
has many long words, knows how to fz
them together in good shape, and make
a great noise.

Queen r howled the chief of the band,
addressing her, land we viii celebrate
our nuptials in manner worthy of our
selves. Ho, there !illumlnate p With
crash as of ten thousand gongs, red
light instantly spread over the scene,
and then horrible spectacle was dis
covered. All around the amphitheatre-
the palm trees had been covered with
resin, and were now set on fire. To
the trunk of each tree woman had been
dashed, and these unfortunates were now
burning to death. The chief then leap
ed wildly among the flaming trees with
his Queen until the orchestra struck the
final chords of the measure, when "he
plunged dagger into her bosom, SO
that she expired with the last notes of
the music" The agreeable drama ter
minated. as we need scarcely say, by the
jewellers drinking themselves blind
drunk as an appropriate dessert to SO
rich a feast of connubial bliss.
This lovely tale is gravely offered as
truth by the French journalist, and ma
ny who do not believe its verify will
admire the inventive genius of its au-
thor; such admiration will, however,
shrink to unenviable proportions when
it is known that the Fsgaro's story, or
something very much like it, is to be
found among certain fragments of man.

A TALE OF TERROR.

The only Mosquito Bay that we know
of where the English flag flies, as denot-
ing either sovereignty or protectorate, is
far down by the Caribbean Sea, near the
town freshly named after Sir George
Gray. This town, which Commander
Hollins amused himself by bombarding
some years ago, is the capital of dusky
gentleman who used to go about in the
scarlet coat of British officer, bare legs,
crooked hat, and ''panache" like
Gen. Boum's. The dominions of this
monarch, doubtless. it is that late writ
er in the Paris Figaro confounds with
what it calls the English Island of
Mosquito Bay and which he makes
the scene of orgies beside which even
the = Voudou|o Revels of Louisiana look
harmless and respectable.
We gather from the Figaro that the
western coast of its mysterious island is
inhabited by tribe of fierce and eccen-
trio blacks, who always remain secluded
except at two periods of the year. On
these occasions they visit the. eastern
shore, which is inhabited by whites, for
the purpose of buying supplies. They
likewise signalize their visits by getting
furiously drunk, and smashing whatever
they can and dare in every direction.
Most of their time being passed in the
sleepy pursuit of fishing, they solace
themselves, at these exceptional epochs,
by every species of mad debauchery.-
At their last outbreak of the kink they
outshone themselves. Mastering in
strong force, they resolved on initiating
the ancient Romans, and despoiling the
pale-faced Sabines of the eastern shore
of a full supply of maidens for wives.
| Their scheme was crowned with COM
| plete success. Carefully devised and
assisted by adroit stratagem, it resulted
in these bold blackamoors of Mosquito
Bay carrying off as many white women
as they themselves numbered, and bear
ing them in triumph to their Cyprus
of the West. Their subsequent treat
ment of their brides varied. however
from the classical precedent, and, as de
scribed by the Figaro, must be admit
ted to have been highly original.
In the first place, we are told thai
these adventurous colored persons had
{ resolved to organize dance Of the mos
appalling description. This, in fact
was the prime object in kidnapping theil
brides. On the return of the party t.
the western shore, week was passed IL
a sort of bacchanalian honeymoon. AT
ter this, dark night was chosen for it

Wm.1H Hoyt, of this village, re-
turned Friday night from the Burlington
Democratic and Liberal Conventions, and
does not quite agree with the Boston
Journal, which says that latter a great
effort to drum up recruits and make a
sensation, the Liberal Republican divis-
ion of the Grand Army mustered less
than two hundred men, rank and file,
and the Democratic division outnumber-
ed them by about fifty" and that the
assembly was as solemn as quaker
meeting. Mr.. Hoyt says that the city
was so full of people that he was unable
to get lodgings the first night. Three
or four hundred people came over from
Plattsburg, N. Y, and Fitzpatrick ad-
dressed as many people as could be jam
med into the City Hall, in the evening.
A torchlight procession and other dem
onstrations also took place. The NOM
nations were as follows: For Governor,
Hon. A. B. Gardner, Of Bennington
for Lieut. Governor, W. H. H. Bingham,
of Stowe; for Treasurer, Henry Chase
of Lyndon; for Electors at Large, w.
i. Horrobin, Of Bennington, and Thorn.
as E. Powers, of Woodstock; for Dis.
trict Electors, Jed. P. Ladd, of Grand
Isle, Hon Jasper Rand Of St. Adams
and Sol. Bishop of Montpelier.

The Portland Press, speaking of the
political prospects in Maine, says
From the best sources of information
we conclude that the Republican party
will not afford over thousand votes for
Mr.. Greeley, and these will be balanced
by an equal number of Democrats who
will not vote for Linn. Gen. Grants
majority in November will be one of
the largest majorities ever given in the
State, while that in September will COM
pare most favorably with those of other
campaigns.

HENRY WARD BEECHER ON
THE SITUATION.

Here is what Mr.. Beeeher says. Let
all read it and ponder:
'Now. then, people can take their
choice of the three G's, Grant, Greeley,
Greesbeck the brave soldier, the skill
full editor, the acute lawyer the old
Republican, the new Republican Demo-
GRAFT, the old Democrat AS for our
selves, we stand by our colors-Grant
and Wilson and the old Republican par
ty which has been bred and proved in
stormy days, when the whole nation
leaned upon it and found it sure sup
port. 1t went through the fire and the
flood to save our country. We do not
believe the common people of America
are ready to throw away an old servant,
and put in its place party whose whole
strength lies in the adhesion to it of the
very men whom the Republican party
has fought before, at Siloah, at Vicks-
burg, at Gettysburg, and around
Richmond. They tried to take Wash
ington several times before. They could
not do it by bullets, and we do not in
tend they shall by ballots. This coun-
try is not prepared to pass the Govern
ment into the hands of that party which
has for fifteen years done nothing but
fight those laws and the policy which
they hope soon to construe and admins
ter. 1t is not even pretended that the
rank and file of the Democratic party
have been converted to those ideas on
which the whole war was waged. They
have changed their policy, but not their
convictions They will 60 to Washing
ton as Liberal Republicans, but once
there they will throw off the odious
name, and stand forth out-and-out Dem
ocrats. The old questions are not set
tied. It is not likely that any party
will attempt to overthrow the Constitu-
tional amendments. But law may be
nugatory without abolishing it. The
spirit of an Administration may neutral
lie Constitutional provision without
attacking its letter.
If the Republican party is defeated
it will be mainly by the concentration
of the Democratic votes North and South.
The Democratic element will preponder-
ate to such an extent, that it will be
impossible to carry on the Government
except by its political and moral infu-
ence. In six months there will not be
shadow of doubt that the Democrat
ic party has swallowed all the cratic
Republicans that helped it, and it will
stand forth. no new creation, born out
of past struggles, with regenerated gen.
ius to lead on a new era, but from inev-
liable inward necessity 1T will be the
old Democratic party. The voice may
be Jacobs but the hand will be Esau' s.
Now is the time to consider the may be's
How far from probability is it, thai
in a year or two, should this new move
ment succeed, will the new Admins
tration think it best to pension the
Southern wounded veterans for theil
service and suferings? If they arr
taxed to pay the national debt, why
they will say, should we not be pait
for some of our own losses !? There is
prodigious property interest in the Soutl
now in silence and obscurity, that may
if fair occasion be given, bring an IRE
sistible power to bear ON the Govern
ment and double the national debt.

ers in the country, and also one of The
very best men, while speaking at Char
lotte, North Carolina, on the evening of
July oath, in favor of the reelection of
Gen. Grant, was interrupted by mob,
led by the son of the Mayor of that
city who drew a revolver on the Cover
nor-and compelled to retire from the
meeting, after which Greeley man took
the platform and addressed the audience

good way to win Greeley votes in North
