The removal Of Mr.. Sumner from
the chairmanship of the committee on
Foreign Relations continues to be the
exciting topic Of conversation in all po-
litical circles, and it's probable effect
upon the future Of the Republican party
and the denomination Of Grant is freely
discussed. All the Republicans except
q few Of Summers personal enemies in
the Senate. agree that the occurrence is
very damaging to the party and may
prove disastrous, in short, that it was a
gross political blunder. The Demo
Gratis are highly elated about the affair,

able, because there is no man OF suffi-
cient strength to oppose him, but that
his defeat will follow as a necessary re-
suit of the dissensions occasioned among
Republicans. Many leading Republi-
cans, on the other hand, assert that
Grants denomination is now out OF the
question, and it is necessary to begin to
look about for a more available candl-
date, if the party is to be saved from
defeat. They argue that the entire body
ofNew England Republicans will be
hostile to him on account OF Sumner

sH don't care to speak plainly on

the war was ended warfare against our
brethren Of tho South should have
ceased. The negroes are we'll dispos-

were never fino class of people, and
some down there now would be better
out Of it, but their presence in tho
late insurrcctionary States affords
no proper excuse for acts Of lawlcss-

These in my opinion, should have
been appointed to position under tho

other Federal and State Offices, in
