ENGLISH TRIBUTE TO HIS MEMoRY
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW y0HK HERALD.

LONDON, March H. 1874
The Times to-day publishes laudatory obituary
article on the late Charles Sumner. Referring to
the disputes between England and the United
States, the Times says:--"Mr. Sumner was not
able to Judge US dispassionately, and we, possibly
have not understood all the Influences which made
him apparently unjust. 1t is better to forget these
differences and remember the strong impulse for
good which first drew him from private life to
oppose that great national wrOng-slavery-and
which, In spite OF his many weaknesses, remained
his guiding principle even to the end"
The Standard, in a leading article on the late
Charles Sumner, says, he was fine speaker and
personally honorable, but he was utterly wanting
in craftsmanship.

FEELING IN THE SOUTH.

CHARLESTON, s. c., March IL, 1874.
The death OF Sumner produces profound sensa-
tiOn among all classes here republicans especially.
The colored people, who regarded him as the
champion OF their race, are deeply greved.
Flags are at halfmast on all public buildings.
In the Circuit Court Q. W. Bnltz, Solicitor Of the
First Circuit, paid high tribute to his memory
q man not Onlyof great learning, but OF unques-
toned honor and integrity, concerning whom all
classes IN the South harmoniZed with the senti-
ment or other sections. Hence Sumner did not
work In vain, for he lived to see united country
and nation that in the end has done him full
Justice. On his motion the Court then adjourned
out OF respect to his memory.

Cherry and his murderer. after lingering along
awhile, died. No one was able to give any motive
for the murder, and II was generally supposed that
IL was the outburst OF diseased mind. 1t has
since been discovered that poverty ana want OF
work had unsettled his brain and he determined to
commit suicide. One day. however, happening TO
