Senator Sumner on the Virginius At
fair.

A prominen. citizen Of Boston had
an interview the other day with Sen.
ator Sumner on the Cuban question,
to whom he remarked: "The Vir-
ginius affair is very delicate ques-
ton, and opinions should be care
fully and calmly formed. They have
contrived to get up vast deal Of
excitement on this question. There
is a popular indignation which over
looks the real issue. Give the peo-
pie little time TO cool off and they
will listen to calmer views. The at
titude of the London Journals in this
matter, some of which. never friend
ly to the United States, are doing
all they can to rouse indignation in
this country. We need to be very
careful, he thought, how we adjusted
our policy to Opinions received from
that quarter. Tboy would be toe
glad to involve US in war with
Spain. They don't like republic in
Spain, and would only delight to
have it crushed by the republic ia
America. England would rub her
hands in glee if she could make out
the Virginius second Alabama
She would be glad if we placed our
selves in the same position as herself
by recognizing the Virginius. AS to
tho IuBal apPoota Of tho case. Mr.
Sumner 81 i'd there appeared TO his
Jwn mind very clear. The fact that
the vessel went under the United
States flag does necessarily comprom
ise our honor. If she was G fllibus-
ter, the flag and the papers were on
Iy part OF the presence. 1t would
be foolish, however, he remar ked, tc
make the case of the Virginius plea
for the recognition of Cuba; it would
be cruel, too, to precipitate wal
with Spain unless we were really
driven to it. We must let the Span
ish Republic live if possible"

Thanksgiving Day

This dsy is set apart by Nationsl
and State decree for thanksgiving
and pray err, for tho unnumbered oles-
sings of q kind and bounteous ProV'
idence. The observance of Thanks
giving Day, originating over two CEN
turtles ago during the suffering ana
invitations of the Pilgrim fathers, has
become properly State as we'll as
National institution. Formerly 1t
was kept only BY the New England
States. sometimes different days be-
ing named by the several Governors.
But now the proclamation for thanks-
giving, emanatiDg from the head OF
the government, is echoed by the
Executive of every State and Terri
tory from the rock bound coast OF
The Pacific to the hills and valleys OF
New England, from whence the GUS
toms first originated.
The past year has been one of u.s.
ual prosperity, plenty and exemp'
ton from war, pestilence and disas
ter Never in any year has there
been greater moral or political pro
eress. Mover so completely and uni
vsrsally were the principles OF polit'
ioal equality carried into effect.
Never before was our government
loved and honored by so many devo-
ted supporters. Never was the Ma
,ional influence so strongly in favor
of righteousness, and 50 strongly
opposed to expressions of all kinds
The religious and educational instr
tutions of the county, under the free
dom and protection extended by the
Republic, are highly prosperous and
benefcient.
For the many indications OF moral
progress, more than for merely ma
terial prosperity, we should 1e
thankful. And how eminently nj
and proper is it that wo as Nation
continue and enlarge The observance
Of this beautiful custom, by uniting
in offering universal praise an'
thanks 10 the Givcr OF blessings.

A Precedent In tho Virginius Mat
ter.

The details Of the interference Of
the British Government in 1884 to
stop the barbarties perpetrated IN
the Carlists war, were laid before the
President to-day, as pertinent pre-
cedent to be considered in connec-
ton with the Vlrginius affair. The
course of the British Government
was the immediate consequence of
an act very similar to the execution
of Ryan and his companions An
English ship was overhauled by a
Spanish man-of~war, and two Car
list officers taken from her aud sum-
marily shot, after drum.head court
martial. The Government OF Queen
Isabella treated the Carlists as trail
tors, and had, from the outbreak of
the rebellion, shot all the prisoners
captured. The Carlists retaliated,
and the war was one Of brutal feroc-
ity on both sides. The execution of
the two officers taken from the Eng.
lish ship reused the British ministry
to action. With the assent of the
other parties to thetripartite alliance
France and Portugal-Lord Elliot
was sent to Spain, and made con.
vention between the Madrid Govern
ment and the Carlist chiefs, which,
without recognizing the belligerency
of the latter, bound both to respect
the rules of civil warfare, and put an
immediate stop to the murder of
prisoners. Provisions was naado for
the regular exchange of prisoners.
The terms of the convention were
adhered to until the war ended in
