The Governor has ordered the State police to receive the body of Senator Sumber this afternoon and U> escort it to the State House, where Major Lewis Gaul with a detachment of the Shaw guard, will act as a body guard until the hour of the funeral. The immediate friends of the deceased at first objected to any military display whatever as inappropriate to Senator’s well known peace views, but as a guard was necessary in Doric hall, it was deemed proper that the colored troops who first offered their services should be selected. An autopsy of the body will be mode Momiav. There is already an active discussion of the claims of prominent men to succeed Senator Sumner, and as the election must take place on the second Tuesday after the notice of vacancy has been received, it is probable that the

choice will be made on the 24th.

Mk. Scmnek’s funeral will take place at Boston, on Monday. Bi tler appears in the role of Pecksniff and writes a crocodile letter about Mr. Sumner. What is Post Master General Cresswell doing? The mails seem to be in abad way. We have never missed so many exchanges as during the last month, and never received papers so irregularly. A correspondent gives us his views to this effect: We want good, wholsome laws for this generation, as the next will make laws to suit themselves; consequently, one term is sufficient in any office within the gift of the people.

Mr. Scmner’s death has called out some of the best newspaper wTiting overdone in the country. The editorials of the Journal and Sentinel were remarkably good; that of the Chicago Inter-Ocean was the most thorough piece of work ever done on that paper, ami the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle’s article was a master-piece. Stranok as it may seem Butler does not want to go to the Senate. His ambition is fixed on the governorship of Massachusetts, which he regards as a stepping stone to the presidency, and his efforts will be used to secure that. It is probable that he will support Mr. Dawes for the Senatorial vacancy, both because he is the least objectionable of the prominent candidates, and his removal from the House will make the way clear for Butler to attempt seizing the leadership. The election, which will probably take place the last of this month, will give him an opportunity to display his strength, and will show his opponents howmuch they have to fear in the beginning of the contest.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean in an exceedingly able review of Mr. Sumer’s life, can not forget its duty as an organ and says: Mr. Sumner was appointed chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations in 1861. For that responsible position he was peculiarly fitted by reason of his intimate acquaintance with international law, his high culture, and his long residence in Europe, where he came to be regarded as the first American statesman. He was deposed from that committee in 1871 on account of his opposition to the ratification of the treaty of Washington. It was feared by the Senate that his hostility might complicate subsequent negotiations ana, perhaps, seriously embarrass the relations of our goveruinent with that of Eng-

land.

It will find it hard to make people believe this. There ia not a man in the country, at all acquainted with the circumstances, who does not know that the treaty of Washington had nothing to do with Mr. Sumner’s removal. He was removed in order to insult and punish him ipr his opposition to the San Domingo annexation scheme. The boldest of the party organs

did not dare deny it at the time.

AvrER all it seems that the Liberals did not commit the unpardonable sin in supporting Mr. Greeley, and that their votes will be acceptable to the “regular organization” this year. The Journal in refer-

ence to our query of yesterday, says:

Quoting that j>ortionof the Republican address which invites ‘-all good men w ho sympathize with its principles to participate In its deliberation and assist in it.s victories,” The News wishes to know if this'includes “the numerous individuals who were excommunicated bv the Journal during the last canvass, or do they not come under the head of ‘good men?”’ Speaking for ourselves, and we presume for Republicans generally, we answer that the call most assuredly" does include "those individuals,” provided they wish to be included. During the last canvass, when they made war on the Republican party and did all in their powrer to give aid and comfort to the enemy, the Journal had no other choice but to fight them. In doing so it simply took them at their word. Thev declared themselves hostile to the Republican party, and the Journal, therefore, treated them as enemies. Some of them were not only “good men,” but first rate ones, and we have no doubt they have long since seen the folly of their movement Not the folly of their principles, perhaps, for we are willing to admit that many of them were actuated by a real desire to improve and elevate the politics of the country; but the utter folly of their movement considered as an attempt to form a new party. We presume that “those individuals” will hardly feel like repeating their experiment of an alliance with the Democracy. and if they wish to participate in the deliberations and assist in the victories of the Republican party, we know of no reason, why they should be excluded. If they are still full of the spirit of reform, they can do a good work for the country and the Republi-

eated in a manner, that its moot earnest and sanguine Adherents never expected to see in so short a tixrie. It aroused the sentiment tor reform, which has been growing ever since and will grow until it sweeps away the iniquitous abuses and oppressions which are grinding every flass of citizens, until it drivm out of posrer the mercenary and unprincipled men who make politics a game to plunder the government. Apparently it failed, apparently Mr. Greeley made a disastrous failure, but They.neter fail Who die in a great cause. The greatest successes the world Haa ever seen have grgwn out of apparent lailares, and the germ which was planted in the Liberal movement, though dwarfed and withered for the time, is growing rapidly and will expand into a tree that shall cover the whole country. We differ also from the Journal as to the Republican party. We have seen no evidence yet that it can reform itself or even has a desire to reform itself. With such a man as Giant at its head, with such a man as Butler predominant in its counsels and in full control of the party machinery, there is little to hope for from it But if it is bail, the Democratic party, now attempting to galvanize itself into new and useless life, is worse, utterly incapable of honest action and unworthy of trust. Its leaders are of the same stuff. They only need the op}>ortunity to do the same things. Time w ill make a place where the conscientious seeker for reform may go and work with satisfaction; time will produce a party with high aims and definite purpose, which wilT separate the sheep from the goats and do the work that is needed. In the meantime there seems but one course for the friends of reform, and that is to vote for the best men, scratching tickets as they please, and do all they can to hasten the coming of the

“Mechanic” in a communication published elsewhere, cries for money and makes the common mistake of confusing depreciated and irredeemable paper with it. He wants more money to buy groceries with, to pay doctor’s bills with and to save up. Most people are afflicted in the same way. We would not object to a little more money ourselves. But can “Mechanic’' tell how an inflation of the currency will give him more money? No one will give it to him for nothing, he will have to work for it, just as he does now, just as we all do. An inflation will depreciate paper more than it is now, and immediately the prices of groceries and dry goods and doctor’s bills will go up. Will “MechanicV’ wages go up too? Not immediately. He will find that they will not be affected for months after everything else has been touched, and in the meantime he is getting the old price for what he does and paying the new prices for what he buys. If he has money owing to him he will find that it will not buy as much, ia not worth as much to him as it is now. And after the country has again “grown up” to the level of these inflations, as the speculators say it will, then there will either be another inflation with the same result or another panic and contraction. Then “Mechanic’s” wages will be the first thing to go down, perhaps his work will stop entirely, and his candle will be burned at both ends. But suppose his wages keep pace in rise and fall with the prices of all necessaries. Suppose he gets two dollars and half where he now gets two dollars. Is. he any better off if he has to pay the two dollars and ; a half for the same things he now gets for two dollars? When everything is equal will there be any greater advantage for him than there is now? On the contrary he will find things worse, for an expanded currency always gives the opportunities of gain to the rich and grinds the poor; where dollars have small purchasing power, the man who has few of them fares ill. The currency for the people is the one in which the cents count, in which a quarter will

buy something worth having.

“Mechanic” want The News to be a friend to the poor. It is a friend to them. It is a better friend to them than they are to themselves. They have nothing to gain by inflation, and much to lose. That gives the chances to the rich, to the speculator, to the trader. It is a continuation of the evil, which with the vicious system of protection under the guise of building up the industries of the country, has tende4 for a dozen years to cultivate extremes of wealth and poverty, to build up colossal fortunes and to produce abject and galling penury, to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.- We want this swept away, and this couhtry put on a commercial equality with other countries and placed in a position where industry can expand, and resources be developed by the natural laws of trade and the legitimate use of provided means, and not by taxing the

people for the benefit of the few.

One word more to “Mechanic.” He seems to think that if money was plenty he would by some means or other—he don’t exactly know how—come in for a good lump of it, somebody would give him enough to make him comfortable. This ia a delnsion. Oar experience of human nature is that men generally hold on to what they have, and try to get more instead of getting rid of it. Whether money is scarce or plenty “Mechanic” will have to work for all he gets. No method hag yet been discovered by which that pleasing state of circumstances in which everybody shall have all the money they want, can be attained. And it never will. The bleeaed and primeval curse “In the sweat of thy-, face shall thou eat bread,’ still hangs over the race. It is a struggling

The Break ap Coming. [Springfield Republican.] Our New England readers, at arfy rate, do not need to be told the different wav in Which the ice breaks up in the spring; bow, one season, it will go off like a lamb, giving ample notice in advance of its contemplated departure, and, the next. k«ep its intentions to itself until the appointed night comes, and then make a sudden downward rush, crunching and grinding like mad, snapping up any little article of portable property that may come in its way, ’ honest valley folks to no ence. For some time past, it has been plain to all but those who won’t see, that we are on the eve of witnessing a somewhat analogous phenomenon in politics. No one kaows exactly when the break-up will come, or how; whether it will be graduaband gentle at the last, or sudden and violent. But it is certainly coming. The signs multiply, almost from day to day. A political thaw set in, some time ago. In more than one State, the ice is already visibly honeycombed and audibly cracking. West and East the people are restless, uneasy, dissatisfied, groping about for new issues and new leaders. That is the meaning of this stir among the farmers, this anti-rnonopoly movement which in its infancy has wrested two great States from the Republican party,—a little circumstance that must have escaped the recollection of the Washington Republican when it spoke of the recent municipal struggle in Philadelphia as the “first important election since Grant’s glorious victory in ’72.—and whiclwpromises to revolutionize five or six other States at the earflest opportunity. That is the meaning of the two conventions that were in session in this city only last week,—one avowedly political in character and objects, the other unavowedly, and perhaps half-unconsciously, so; for It is a well-established law, that when the times are ripe for a change, -every popular or class movement, however removed from politics its professed mission may bebecomea an additional element of disintegration', and helps to hasten the catastrophe. The socresy of these ’‘orders” is merely an >accident—useful perhaps for immediate purposes of organisation, sure to prove in the long run * mistake and a detriment. Their real significance and importance are found in the fact that they stand for a popular restlessness and a popular desire. The people wftnt certain things done; they dp not find in the existing political organizations the machlner>'for doing them; they are, therefore, trying, in a tentative and as yet rather blind way, to invent new machinery for themselves. We might go on to speak of other signs— the revolt of the merchants against the spy system, the new temperance movement, tne Simmons unpleasantly, the changed tone of Republican State conventions and newspapers towards the administration, the visible progress of Guerrilla Mosby s scheme for reconciling the southern fire-eaters (who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Horace Greeley) to this administration, etc., etc. But it isft’t necessary. Enough to know that tha people are everywhere in subdued but ominous agitation. They are losing iheir interest in the old party organizations and politics, simply because they find nothing there

opposition, xney ao noi see any vital p ctptes on the one* aids or on the other. There is not a single practical question before the country on which either the “ins” or “outs ” as a party, have an opinion. The votes in Congress tell the story, Whether tne question tip is currency, or taxation, or the regulation of railroad charges, or the restoration of a subverted State government—no matter”what it is, we see both the majority and the minority instantly and hopelessly divided. We see Republicans and Democrats ranged against Republicans and Democrats. The party press and even the local party platforms confirm the testimony of the Congressional Records On the questions of the day, the “live” questions neither of the old parties has the semblance of a policy to offer. Besides, habit, which counts for a good deal In politics, the one party is held together simply by the love of power (including plunder) and the other simply by the hope of it The one enjoys running the government, the other wants to ran it The “ins” prefer to stay in, the “outs” are fierce to get in ; that is all there
