Chandler made an elaborate attack on
Sumner for his statements regarding
Stanton and Grant. Mr.. Sumner said
he would read one single letter to show
the truth OF what he had said in his re-
ference to Mr.. Stanton's opinion Of
Grant. Before reading it, however, he
would declare that MIR. Stanton did say
to him what he had reported. He as
serted on this floor that this was go.
Sumner here read the following extract
from note received this morning from
Horace White. Of Chicago:
"DRAR MR. SUMNER: The late Secre-
tary Stanton, not once merely, but seve.
raj times. expressed himself to me sub
stantially the same opinion of Gen
Grant that he did to you, with the addi-
tion that Gen. Grant had been greatly
over-rated as q military commander. As
to the latter point, I recall long con-
versation with him. after the fighting at
Spottsylvania Court House, in which he
expressed more than had ever known
him to feel concerning any campaign.
He felt that he could not continue to fiIl
up the awful gaps made by Lee in our
ranks, without a further call on the loyal.
lists for troops; but I suppose you know
all about that. During portion OF this
conversation, he kept Chandler cooling
his heels in the ante-room. in order to
finish what he had to say to me-a mere
observation-disclosures I twice suggested
that it would be indecorous for me to
remain while Senator desired an audi
ence."
