The Washington correspondent of the Chi cago Times writes the result of an interview with Charles Sumner at his house In A ash ington, which will probably repay the reader: The Sumner residence is at the corner of Vermont avenue, just where that thor ougbfare stands off from II street. Across the way is the cool paik, which, in its turn, leads to the grounds of the Grant family mansion. The park is a bright frament of arbor life in the dusty city desert, and is additionally interesting as an out-door art museum. It contains as yet only one curiosity, a brass Gen. Jackson, bestriding a brass horse, which stands on its brass tail. But other monstrosities may be hoped for in due season. The Arlington house and its many 'additions have closed around Sumner's dwelling, until the latter has come to be niched in hotels; a Kohinoor set in paste. Iiis beautiful home now ünds a ladies' parlor on its left, baggage rooms behind it, to the right an " ordinary" ilininc hall, and a line of hacks before the front door. But it still remains the abode of culture and renown, in spite of its incongrueus surroundings; a cherry stuck in dough, a MeRsonierin abas wood frame. Mr. Friendly Visitor rejects the attentions of Several earnest gentlemen who are anxious to favor him with a "kerrige to any part of the city," and tugs at the Sumner door-bell. A trim and self-satisfied desendant of soma Ashantee kin e ar pears, the portals close behind, and as the man and brother is wafted with the caller's card to the floor above, Friendly Visitor has a brief and busy time or observa tion all to himself. He is in the vestibule of s miniature temple of the arts. To the left is a condensed Vatican, to the right A DIMINUTIVE LOUVRE. Bronzes that may have known the touch of Denvento Cellini, Rembrandt print9,casts from the Munich museum, choicer aublects from Berlin and Florence, Roman marbles, and paintings, from the castles of dead and living monarchs of the brush, are massed in skillful disorder in every direction. Each apartment is 'an individual gallery of rare contributions, culled by a connoisseur, and Arranged with that deft harmony of confU sion which only comes to the born lover of the art. Think of the serenity which a knowledge and appreciation of these beau ties may bring to their possessor, no matter iiow prominent or turbulent bis normal life. Why, the ether day, while Wiight was haranguing impossible finance to a tired senate Sumner sat through the tedious thunder in an elvsium of ignorance, lie was enioy ing Storey's humiliating dose for English conceit, that the Elgin marbles never saw the light of Phidlas's studio. M The writer makes a strong case," says Mr. Sumner. " Walk right up to the library, sir." It is the dainty offshoot of African royal ty, who has returned from his trip with the card, and friendly visitor is guided to the senatorial lion's den. Entering, he in forth with lost in a jungle of books, desks, great easy chairs, glorious gleanings from the world of art. manuscripts, and bric-a-brac, Wrapped in a heavy dressine-robe. slip pered, and in the general dishabille of refined comfort, the admiration of Massachusetts has tumbled himself into the cmhions.of a luxurious chair, and is in brisk chat with II.

The rugged head of the eld artist finally disappears through the door. Friendly Visitor takes the vacant !"" . . J "?

Friendly Visitor You are not much of an ad- j mirer of the electoral college, jirsomner: Mr. bumner No sir. It is an outgrowth and cart and parcel of the caucus system. It Is an Irresponsible body, and deprives the people of their grand right to vote directly for the president. F. V. I believe you have a Joint resolution before congress looking to the abolition of the whole svstem. ' Mr. H. Yes; it can only be accomplished by amending the constitution, and mat is what the resolution aki. I look npon the practice of an electoral college intervening between the people and the p, evident as nostue to good government, ana auogemer evil in example. F. V. How long have you had the matter un der consideration ? Mr. H. v or years. It has, in fact, never seem ed right to me that any exception should be mad? to the usual direct method of voting. A president should be elected the same as a gov ernor or a town clerk, by the people themsei ves. The college system, as my resolutin operated ty the caucus or convention, and a few persons, by intrigue or corruption, oiten succeed in putting forth a candidate who becomes at once the exclusive representative of a political party, and bis triumph is assured. F.V. Bat. Mr. Bumner, you cannot legislate away the original convention system Itself. Kttpticallions will meet and run through premed Haled "slates," and the nominees so made will become Candida' es. Mr. 8. True, but with the eleotoral college abolished, and the disapproval or congress I .lampeu upuu ui wuuu muvuj ayaic-m, m Kieat step will have been taken toward the end desired. I wbtu to see the people come together at specified time, and cast independent ballots for Whomsoever tney piease. K. V You were saying that this is no new Idea to too. Mr. a. 1 nave always believed la it. andhoied for It. Keforms demanding more immediate at tention have kept this in the back ground, but very presidential election proves more and more its necessity. Years ago. Col. Benton ad dressed the senate npon this very subject, and I was then particularly impressed with the truth that, sooner or later, the people must be rrivi leeei to vote direct. This conviction has ripen ed, and the Uie present seems a desirable tUue to ascertain congressional opinion. V. V. Ha ve you agitated the Idea among year UiinkJnK men as t Mr. H. it has been a frequent theme of eon -Ideration between myself and acquaintances. JN'otAbly, when I was last In .arope, President THIERS. u Of the French Republic, after a very animated convention npon Iraerlcaa affairs, himself broached this very subject. II professed a very warm Interest in seeing the electoral system Wiped from our records, looking upon it as the one serious flaw In oar American republicanism.

V. The committee on privileges auu tui tions, I ur derstand, have a proposition or some kind tending toward the sameuirecuou juut resolution. Mr. S. Yes, Morton so stated the other day. I have no right to pass upon a report Derore n is raade. bull think his plan is to divide states up into districts in some rasmon, peruana "u better than the present way, and then well.the truth is, I do not know much about it In anyK. V It would seem that when the change Is made, it should be radical, and sweep away the evil entirely, instead of compromising It. M r. 8. I am glad to bear you s y so. K. V. Do you anticipate much objection In the senate and house to your proposed amendment? Mr. S. I cannot tell, but I do think that most of the o:der members In both branches know at heart that a change should be made. Whether they are prepared to act now or to accept my ideas, Is another matter. What Is your plan? ' Mr. S. It is set forth In the resolution, which 1 drew up with unusual care. It requires the people to hold elections on the first Monday in April, evry four years, the result of such election to be certified, sealed, and forwarded to the national seat of government in such manner as congress may direct. Congress must be in session on the Tuesday succeeding the third Monday in May, after such election. The returns must be opened in the house of representatives, both sections of congress being present. The person having the greatest number of votes Is to be declared president, in case he has a majority. In case no candidate has a majority or, having it, declines to serve or dies beiore the counting of the vote, the president of the senate shall bo proclaim, whereupon the proceed in gs shall be oillciaUy published stating particularly the number of votes received by each candidate. f. V. What then? , Mr. S.-Another election must then take place, on the second Tuesday of the succeeding October at which the voting muxi be confined to the three persons having the largest number o: votes at the previous trial. You see that success must come to somebody the second time. The Friendly visitor sees, and so admits. B there is a chaim in the fcumnerian converse, and his questioner is willing to listen all night.

TIIE GERMAN CHANCELLOR ON THE WAR WORN REVELATIONS. . The German parliament was enlivened a few days ago by an angry debate, in which Bismarck was the principal. A Herald let ter says that Bismarck was called out to tho debate In a very peculiar manner. Herr von Mallinckrodt, one of the most prominent ultramontane leaders in the lower house, bad been rpeaking on the previous day at length on education, and in the course of his re marks questioned the government as to its conduct in instituting an inquisition in recard to the politics of Roman Catholic ele mentary teacners in some districts or ice Rbinetand. Herr von Mallinckrodt took the opportunity of making a very serious charge against the Chancellor a charge which he had gathered from La Marmora's revelations and which no one In Germany would have believed evtn if it had not been at once Indignantly denied, ijb said itm the ultramontanes were as faith ful patriots as prince Bismarck him seit, and then asked, amid great uproar, "What must be the feelings of those devoted patriots on finding themselves coerced bv the cabinet a cabinet presided over by a statesman who, when preparing for the Austrian war, told the Italian General, Govono. that he did not object to give the Rhine province dp altogether to France as a sop thrown to Cerberus." Prince Bismarck, on entering tne House on tne following day, replied in a set sneeca. His utterances were directed- not only against Her von Mallinckrodt, but to the entire nltramontana party, and in part to France. The substance of the.Chancellor'8 reply is as follows: PRISCK BISMARCK'S SPEECH, I find myself compelled to declare that' the statement of Herr von Mallinckrodt, with reference to an alleged transaction between General Govono and myself is an infamous lie. Of course it is not Herr von Mallinckrodt who told the lie. Of course he repeated only a falsehood invented by Homebody else. However, as the story has been Invented with malice prepense, it might perhaps have been expected that Herr von Mallinckrodt would have reflected twice before fathering it. I have never al lowed any one to hope that I should be able ! to bring myself to consent to the cession of a fcingle village or a ingle acre of land. The fiction circu lated at my expense is a downright and daring lie, got up to blacken my reputation in the eyes.ot my countrymen, i rroiongea cheers. Once upon this sulyect I should like to sav a law words on an incident which occured at yesterday's sitting, when I was unfortunately ateent. A gentleman belonging to the same partv as Herr von Mallinckrodt choose to attack me as a man and a statesman. He. too, did so in connection with foreign politics, censuring my conduct most severely. May l perhaps suggest to the gentleman opposite that as a member of a government which they will be the last to deny is a divinely appointed institution. 1 have some claim to decent treatment at their hands? May I lay claim to this privil ege, if not in domestic, at least in foreign affairs? Do they not really perceive that they are acting an unhandsome part in acumniating mein connection with mat ters calculated to attract the particular at tention of other countries? Are they not conversant with a certain proverb referring to the Dlrd who fouls his own nest7 Surely if I am to believe that the pions gentleman opposite are more especially eugaged in the defence of truth, religion and Christianity than others I must beg of them to be a little more cautious in repeating all man ners of stories, derived by them from ques tionable sources, i am led to oner these remarks by Herr Von Schorlemer's accusa tions yesterday. His first accusation was comparatively mild. He began by charging roe with contradicting myself, lie said had formerly acknowledged the necessity of respecting THE BOOllA OF IXTALlIItlUTT, a dogma accepted by millions of Roman Catho lies; and he asserted, further, that I was now acting contrary to my first intentions and promises. The one Is true: the other is not Even now I acknowledge as my duty to respect the dogmas of the Cat nolle church as dogmas, and I have never Interfered with anybody for believing in them. But, if the Infallibility dog ma is fo interpreted as to lead to the establish mentofan ecclesiastical Imperium in lmperio, If it occasions the setting aside of the laws of this country, because unapproved by the Vatican lam naturally driven to assert the legitimate supremacy of the state. We Pro - estantsare under the conviction that this Ring dom of Prussia ought not to be ruled by the Pope, and - we demand that you, the ultramoTitaue section . of the Koman Cat-holies, respect our convictions as we do yours, unroi-tunately, howevor, yeu are accustomed to complain of oppression whenever not permitted to jord it over others. I am now coming to the principal point. Herr von Kchorlemor maintains that though the German bishops have declined to obey the laws of their country I have uo right to deuounce this extraordinary conduct as revolutionary, lie asserts that I the Chancellor of the German empire, have provei myself the greatest revolntionistof the day. To substantiate hi assertion he says that I destroyed the German confederacy, that 1 tried to foinent rebellion among the Hungarian and Dalmatian regiments of Austria in and that I formed a'llunearian legion In the same momentous year. Now I declare .1 regard Herr von H:horimer as a most absolutely veracious individual. I hold him to be a man not in the least'degres tinctured with the principals of certain monastic orders, fighting wiih bim on the same side and deeming all means fair where they apprehend their faith to be at take. Vet 1 am forced to tell Herr von Bcholemer that perfect veracity, in my opinion, implies an ea nest endeavor lo asfertiln the correctness of the facts on which one's opinions are founded. I am obliged to add that, whatever Heir von Hcborlemer's love of truth, a man who has each an utter contempt for tacts as he has, and who cares so little to And out what 1 what, deserves no credit, and must be prepared to see his alienations slighted fty more careiul and more scrupulous minds. Till WAKOFlSGfl. It is true I aspired te the reform of the late federal institutions, but I did so in a perfectly legal way, and only when violence was offered recommended the fighting it out. It Is not I, therefore, who have destroyed the .old federal Institution but the party wklch includes the political friends of Herr Von Scborlemer. ; It Is, however, not true that I tried to Instigate the IlungaroDalmotian recLmenti to rebellion In 180(1. iterr

Von Scborlemer has politely asked me To prove my - lnnocenc on this head. Had he not better ask me to prove that it is the sun

which is t this nv-ment illuminating the universe? It would" be difficult forme to prove the latter fact, or the former either, theoretically and at a -moment's notice: but the fact is none the less generally know n, and does not admit of a doubt with sensible and well Informed people. Then, as regards the Hungarian Legion, I admit that on the very eve of the war 1 received an offer with reference to the formation of such a body. 1 declined to reeort to the step at the time, though I lucurred no small responsibility from this refusal, seeeinr we had to contend asalnst eo nowe ful a state as Austria. In those days I still hoped to compromise the matter, und. even after our troops had beun to march, beggfd to submit to His Apos!olio Majesty propositions which might have speedily led to an -agreement. Only when. after the battle of Hadowa. the emperor Na poleon telegraphed to us in such a style as-to render his Immediate active Interference very likely Indeed, the situation assumed an aspect la which I did not think myself justified In refusing belp from any quarter whatsoever. Uentlemen, we happened to be at war with Austria at that time. I submit to you the question whether, beiDg at war, we were not perfectly entitled, by all the rules and usages of tu international law, to allow a po on of the Austrian prisoners to be formed a body to co-operat with us against the enemy. Just Imagine our being at war with France. Imagine the Comte de Chamhord or somebody else fighting as in alliance with other elements arrayed on the ultramontane side. If the French government were under these ci.scumstances to endeavor to organize a legion out of Herman Catholic prisoners captured in the war, would Herr von Scborlemer be prepaied to blame Henri V.? The Uermans.certaiuly. who allowed themselves to be used for such a purpose, won hi be revolutionists, If not somethiDg worse, but the enemy who turned them to account could not be reproahed for the the breach of any recognized practice or law. A SHOT FOR LA MARMORA. Herr Malinckrodt thereupon stated that his assertion was founded upon the work recently published by Gen. Dalla Marmora. The persons mentioned in that book had given it from their personal knowledge, and the fads alleged therein had not up to the present l een contradicted ; but after the declaration made to-day by the President of the Ministry he would not adhere to his previous version, but would attsign the aocu-atlon of falsehood over to the Italian Minister President, General Delia Marmora. Prince Bismarck rejoined that the assignment was badly choeen. for Delia Marmora was neither the president of the ministry nor a General, renal provisions were being drawn up in Italy for such proceedings as that of Delia Marmora, with reference to whom be (Prince Bismarck) could write other disclosures than thot-e made with regard lo him. Prince Bismarck added: "It is noteworthy that Herr Malinckrodt attaches greater value io iue testimony of a foreigner than to mine. It would require a man's life-time to contradict all that my enemies write against me. I may safely say, and I am proud to be able to say, that I am the most strongly and the best hated man of any couutry in Kurope. Has not Herr Malinckrodt sought to keep you and the country in the belief that Delia Marmora's book, tells the truth? I do not wlh to convince him, but 1 ask you.'could I not have obtained the most immense results if I had been willing to cede a portion of German territory to France? DU I do so? You have no ritht to ask the leader of the government to Justify himself against calumny in the open tribune. This is a pioceeding to characterize which no parliamen tary expression can be found. The public press will.no doubt, find one to supply the deficiency." NEWS AND GOSSIP. Englishmen are queer fellows. Sir Garner oners to treat with Coffee.
