GRANT AND SUMNER.

Ex-secreIary Fish CONFIRMS Gen. Grants
Statement I'm Reference to MIR. Summers
DiIatoriness and His Action on the Sam
Domingo Treaty.
Boston, Oct. 19.-The Transcript publishes
an interview with ex-Secretary Fish, now in
this city, relative to the Graut-Sumner contro-
versy. With regard to the alleged negligence
Of the late Mr.. Sumner while chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Fish said it
was fact susceptible of proof from the Senate
records, that drafts of treaties, from eight to
eleven in number, remained in the hands of the
committee for several months, some of them,
as near as Mr.. Fish could remember, for more
than two years. Mr.. Fish did not impute this
delay of public business to negligence on the
part of Mr.. Sumner. The fact, however, re-
manned that business was delayed. together
with another fact, that after Summers retiring
the entire batch Of treaties was disposed of in
less than four months.
Rega riding the San Domingo treaty, Mr.. Fish
denied that the President placed the treaty in
Mr.. Summers hands, as he never had it in his
possession. He said that Sumner favored the
treaty until he found j. M. Ashley of Ohio,
was not to be commissioner to San Domingo.
Then he placed himself in opposition. Mr..
Fish also denied that the mission to England
was "urged'' upon Sumner as claimed by Wen
dell Phillips, and denied the conversation be-
tween him and Sumner relative to Motley's re-
moval, wherein Sumner is reported as saying,
''Sir, you are the tool of the President for base
purposes, and this removal is out of spite."

NEW YORK. Oct 19-The Herald reports
Mr.. Garfield as saying that the Republican de-

he has good intentions; but he cannot always
