BIOXTON, in the palmiest, proudest days of his ponderous pomposity, was a bashful boy compared with THEODORE. Still he is a spirited and graceful writer, with decided opinions on all questions, and courage enough to advar.ee and defend them. We wish him and his Golden Aye prosperity and long life.

Or THE removal of Mr. KOIXER from the chairmanship of the Foreign Committee, the Xew York Tribune -the most fearlessly independent journal in the United States—says: "The Senate of the

United States is a deliberative body which properly divides itself into Oommiitecs among which the snhje-'ts requiring its attention are primarily distributed for scrutiny and digestion prior to action thereon in its public serious. Il were absurd to contend that this bodv should not assign to those unmittees respectively the members whom the majority shall from time to time consider _liUesl for the discharge of thei respective duties. We can not, therefore, con sider the removal of Mr. SVMNEI: from the Chairmanship of the Committee on

Foreign Relations as an outrage or anvthing of [liesort yet we will not conceal our profound regret that any such action should have been deemed mvessarv or advisable. Mr. SI .MXER has foibles—as few have not—but he is eminen.lv a a tor, and has earned the love ami trust of the American people. We could wish that this seeming indignity might have been spared him."

Tit ERF. is supposed to be deep political significance in the alarming fact—telegraphed from Washington to the Cincin nati Commercial—that "SUMNEP. patted PENDLETON on the back." There is said to be virtue in the laying on of hand?, and we hope GEORGE will profit by CHA.REES' manual exercise. But seriously what nonsense it is for a correspondent to speculate on a Senator's kindly greeting of an old acquaintance.

THK Cincinnati Ouwaerciat brings out its ticket for the next national campaign. Mere it is: "A ticket honest men could support in 1872: For President, Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts for Vice I'j evident, B. Gratx Brown, of Missouri.'

Whatever else may be said of it, it not open to the charge of being ('(instructed on the Kangaroo principle. But »e suspect the Commercial is no' quite serious, and shall not be surprised to sec it working earnestly for the ('nominal ton of President GRANT abo'tt the time of the nominating convention.

THE MEXICAN mixed commission has been in session at Washington for eighteen months, and we have the excellent authority of the Philadelphia Inquirer for the statement that, in that time, it has adjudicated exactly thirteen claims, thus proceeding at the rate of about eight per annum. As 'here are exactly nineteen hundred and seventy-four cases yet to be ae'cd upon, a not too close calculation c-tabiishes the fact that, if the average age of the commissioners is fifty-four years at the present time, it will be a little more than three hundred years at the time they have come to the conclusion oi the matters ot their appointment. This calculation shows the law of Congress under which its commission acts to be defective, inasmuch as it does not provide that I he commissioners and the claimants should not dte before the. expiration of a period of three centuries. Probably, however, the commissioners think that if they proceed in the business at a greater pace than they have thus far shown, and finish it. within the 'time specified, it will not be found necessary to reappoint them, and, consequently, they will deprive themselves of their large annual salaries.

Time Wanted.

"There are two sides to every question," and we have no doubt the Commissioners will he able to present many good reasons for the acquisition of San Domingo. But the haste with which it is proposed to put the business through precludes the possibility of having the matter thoroughly canvassed by the people, and strengthens the prevalent impression that there is a job in it. Surely there is no pressing necessity for immediate territorial expansion. Let us have the report of the Commission, and let us have time to consider and discuss it. 'Then, il it shall seem desirable or necessary to add Han 1'omingo to our landed estate if it shall appear that the people, or a majority of them, approve the measure, there will be time enough to conclude the bargain. There is no good reason why such a proposition should bo made a party question. It interests all classes alike, and should lie kept out of the arena of mere party politics.

It was supposed that the Commission was sent out lo get information not merely for Congress, but for the people. Let the public have a chance to read and digevt their report and give, through the usual channels, the popular verdict for or against the measure. A eward should not add to the acreage of an estate without knowing the owner's pleasure in relation thereto. The President and Congress collectively are but the steward of the American people. Let the servant consult his master.

Niuiincf :ih1 Ti Foreign Uominiflee. The following from the Cincinnati Ga-ellc'fi Washington special gives the conclusion of I lie Senate proceedings in relation to ihe chairmanship of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations:

After biief speeches from Davis and Thurman, who expressed the intention of voting against the report, and an amendment proposcd and withdrawn by Bayard to change the name of the committee to committee 011 personal relations, a motion to adopt was carried.

The Republicans who favored the postponement withdrew from the Senate Chamber before the vote was taken.

Immediately upon the announcement of the vote, as in the case of San Domingo, numerous members called upon the President to inform him of his victory. The President was very jubilant. lie gave his visitors to understand that he knew (he issue could have no other termination.

There is no other talk on the streets to-night, even among those who take 110 interest in polities.

The same issue of the Gazctlc contains this editorial paragraph which appears to have made its appearance quite too late, as the thing which it hopes will not be done was an accomplished fact before the paper went to press:

It is to be hoped that the Republicans of the United States Senate can find some belter way to reconstruct the chairmanship of the committee on foreign re!ations ihan by substituting Cameron for Sumner. The descent is so great that I the public mind will dwell wholly on the

loss of character, and will pass over any reasons that may exist for making a change in the head of this committee.

EDITOU OF EXPUESS:—It is entirely and unqualifiedly false that the colored schools of Terre Haute are, or are to be excluded from the State Sunday School Convention to be held in this city in June. When the invitations are sent out they will be addressed to Sunday Schools without regard to color, and if any delegates from colored churches present themselves, they will doubtless be admitted on an equal footing with all others the committee on hospitality will provide houses for them, and the Railroad Secretary will issue the same tickets to them as to others.

The only shadow of reason for supposing that the colored schools were excluded, is the fact that there is no colored man on the committee on hospitality. When the committee was appointed the question came up whether a member of one of the colored churches should be added. Inquiry was made of those who had attended previous conventions whether colored schools were accustomed to send delegates. All said they had never seen any in the convention. It was therefore not thought necessary to canvass the colored families of the city to see if they would entertain guests, and for that reason only the omission was made. ONE OF THE COMMITTEE.

Pcnificralic Sympathy for Wounded Soldiers. The recent action of our essentially Democratic Council in turning out Mr. BUTEKI: from his position as Superintendent. of the Cemetery shows their faith by their works. Mr. BCTEER was acknowledged to be one of the most efficient public servants in the interest of the city, and by theehar.ces of war lias been rendered unlit for manual labor, but is more thoroughly posted in regard to the intricate affairs of the cemetery than any other man can be without years of experience. Yet our seven brave couneihnen who represent the fearless Democracy, resolved that he had made a mistake in going to the war and getting wounded that lie should have stayed at home and made war on the Government as did many of the party to which his successor in office belongs. Hereafter Democratic pretences of sympathy for wounded soldiers must bo received only at a great discount, their solicitude for the welfare of unfortunate patriots must be regarded as false and hypocritical and merely intended to catch votes for the party on election day. We mean no disre-'pect to Mr. Mrui'iiv who was selected his successor and who is a very clever gentleman and will probably do as well as any inexperienced man, but what good cause can thesecouncilmen show for (his merciless proscription of a man whose only offence can consist in his being a Republican and a soldier maimed for life? What brazen impudence must men possess who make frantic appeals to enlist the feelings of and gain proselytes from those who defended our country, and then eject them from positions where they arc able to support their families merely because they assun.e the right to vofe their sentiments?

IT IS. fortunate for the Republican party that there is 110 dearth of great men in its ranks and while it is to be regretted that Grant seems determined to alienate his friends, there are others whose military deeds and civic virtues will qualify them to be his succcssor.— fnd. Journal. "Military deeds" cannot fairly be regarded as any portion of the necessary "qualifications" for the office of President, however much they may enhance a candidate's availability. But supposing it desirable that a. man of "military deed-s and civic virtues" should be GRANT'S successor, where among the long list of illustrious names on our party roster docs the Journal propose to find its candidate? In plain words, what military hero of the late war can the Republican party nominate with any confidence that he will prove so acceptable as to render his election probable? In looking over a list of all the surviving general officers who have been in service, volunteer «r regular, since 186.1, we find no name that will excite enthusiasm or inspire confidence. Many of them are noble men, but something more than nobility of character is required in the man who is to Lad the Republican party to victory in 1S72. Had General THOMAS lived, he would livvc presented just that combination of "military deeds and civic virtues'' requisite to availability as a candidate and success as Chief Magistrate of this country. The people would have forced his nomination on the party leaders, whether acceptable to them or not. But the death of that great and good man has deprived us of fresh military material wherewith to construct the head of our ticket. None of GRANT'S late brothers in arms can be regarded as his rivals for the succession and if there comes a time when, to use Ihe language of our own State organ, GHAXT becomes "odious and his nomination impossible," we must look for^his successor among civilians, and must find one whose intellectual and moral worth will challenge the strictest scrutiny, whose patriotism will need no collateral vouchers, whose record is free from the remotest suspicion of jobbery or corruption. Happily our party has many

FUCLL. THE happy condition of affairs in Kentucky is indicated by this paragraph from the Louisville Commercial:

The Ledger promises that the State will punish the Ku lvlux if we will catch them. A few days ago the Slate authorities had one in" their power guilty of murder. Under State laws he could not be punished, for he had only killed a "nigger," and oulv "niggers' knew of it. Butprather than have hmi punished, the State authorities suffered the dignity and power of the State to be insulted by his rescue from the officers of the law, within a stone's throw of the Governor and the Legislature and the highest courts of the State. And not a particle of notice has been taken of the offense, and no effort has been made to arrest the offenders.

A WASHINGTON SPECIAL to the.Indianapolis Journal reports the progress of the Northern Pacific Railroad enterprise as highly encouraging. Messrs. JAYCOOK.E & Co., the financial agents, report the average sale of bonds at 5500,000 per month without any special effort, and no money is needed to carry on the work. The construction of two hundred and fifty miles of the eastern end by August next is insured. This will secure the trade of the Red Kiver settlements and bring three million acres of land into the market. Work on the west end is also going forward.

A BOSTON CAPER notes the successful progress of the moral suasion principle as applied to intemperance among ail parties and denominations. It seems that the Catholics in Boston and vicinityhave gone ahead of all others in their great zeal on the subject of temperance. Total abstinence meetings are being held, and thousands are signing the pledge. The Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Boston, mindful of the immense suffering of his people from the vice of intemper ance, is leading off in this movement and most of the Catholic priests are cooperating earnestly. It is in contemplation to have a grand convention in Boston, on Fast Day, of delegates from all the Catholic Total Abstinence Societies in that diocese, for the* purpose of effecting an organization which will give efficiency to the temperance movement.

Kind, lut Decided Admonition. ED. ExntKSS.—"Whe'n we see a friend going wrong, it is the part of true regard to give a kind, but decided admonition, and possibly keep our friend out of trouble. Thus I feel in reference to our public men in Washington. Whatever may be the future judgment of the country in regard (0 the policy of annexing San Domingo to our country, and incorporating its mongrel Spanish and negro population as citizens of the United States, it is certainly true that the country is not now prepared for the adoption of such a measure. The masses of the people have not thought of it at all, and ninetenths of those who have investigated the subject, are totally opposed to the whole business.

Under these circumstances, why is it that this measure is so persistently forced by the President, upon Congress? We have heard what has been said for and against the scheme, and presently the commissioners sent specially, at great expense, will return, I presume, and make a full report, which all the people should have time to read and consider before action is taken. I am wholly unable to unden-tand why this measure should be "sprung" upon the country at this time, and it does appear to me every consideration of statesmanship and political policy forbids hasty action. As yet, public sentiment is clearly and unequivocally against it. The entire Democratic partyare opposed to it, and I think, nine-tenths of the Republican voters. What on earth is to be gained by pressing this matter now—can anybody tell? If there be clandestine purposes and great schemes for the enrichment of certain private parties at the public expense, as has been intimated, it is of the first importance that the country should not be committed in this hasty manner, before their plans are fully developed, and understood by the people.

It would appear to a prudent person that we have already too many discordant elements to contend with in our country, and quite as much as any political party can bear up under therefore, it does appear to me that we had better settle our difficulties at home before we rush headlong into others that may lead to the most disastrous results. Let 11s postpone this San Domingo business until after the next Presidential election, and then we shall be better informed, and can act more in accordance with public sentiment.

REfJULATINU THE FASHIONS.

Legislating on lloops—Tlic Naked Trulli Suppressed.

In the Canadian House of Assembly, some time since, they had quite a spirited debate on the bill to prohibit crinoline, introduced by Mr. AIKENS. We publish a few of the most brilliant passages:

Mr. Drttmmond was an ardent admirer of hoops from childhood, lie was born with a love of hoops. When he was a child of tender growth, he used to trundle his hoop, all unconscious of the fate that was in store for him. Later in life he swallowed a ring, which resulted in a whooping cough, and even now the sight of an empty hogshead brought tears into his eyes.

Mr. Brown complained that it was impossible now to choose a wife, since her defects were so hidden by hoops and enveloped in crinoline that the naked—

Mr. Talbott objected to such unparliamentary language. Mr. Ross protested against interruption He was going to say dam—

Mr. Cimeron —The honorable member should not swear in that dreadful manner.

Mr. Ro«s—Wasn't doing anything of the kind, but would be tempted to do so if not allowed'to finish his sentence—but such a dam—[order, order!]—a dam [confusion]—he would repeat it—by such dam—[tremendous uproar.]

Mr. Wright stood up, and moved, amid the wildest confusion, that Mr. Ross be expelled from the House for such awful language.

Mr. Ross (black in the face) exclaimed (hat damaging statements was all that he meant to say when he was interrupted by a fool—

THE SOUTHERN OUTRAGES.

Report of the Senate Committee. W

WASHINGTON, March 10.

Senator Scott to-day submitted a report from the select committee of investigation into the alleged outrages in the Southern States. The committee state that they were directed by the resolution to ascertain whether the alleged crimes were committed by bands of a political character, and whether person and property are secure in the Southern Slates. The committee have confined their labors principally to the State of North Carolina, from which they have examined fif-ty-two witnesses—29 Republicans, 21 Democrats and two of no party—and six members of the Ku-Klux Klan, including some of the most prominent members of either party. The report gives a full history of the origin and growth of this organization, which first appeared in some counties of the State as early as 1867, and still continues. It is not necessary to cite from the evidence to show that an organization itself secret, which, by the term3 of its o.Uli excludes all members of other secret societies whose objects were to protect and preserve the government of the United States, is of a political character. What is that political character? The testimony is uniform that none but members of the Democratic or Conservative party in the State of

North Carolina join it. This being the case, the members and press of the political party which, according to the testimony quoted, had forty thousand of its adherents enrolled in these camps, would be, to say the least, under great temptation to palliate their offenses, or to withhold denunciations when crimes were charged against them.

The committee give the names of ninetyblacks and forty-four whites in the counties of Lincoln, Alamanee, Catawba, Craven, Caswell, Chatham, Jones, Orange, Rockingham, Rutherford, Wake, and other counties, nearly all of whom were whipped and the remainder shot, robbed, hanged or driven from their homes. Besides these specific cases of outrages, the testimony refers, in general terms toothers committed in other counties. This list of crimes suggests the question whether they were committed by members of the Ku-Klux organization, and by itsdi reciioti or with its countenance. The testimony already quoted and referred to shows that in many instances the murders and whipping of men were expressly voted upon in their meetings and executed bv members. 'When it is remembered that a disclosure of their secret proceedings incurs the penalty of death, and that, of all other sccrets, such as involve members in the guilt of assassination, murder and violence, would be most sacredly gaurded,it is remarkable, not that so little evidence has been procured bearing upon particular cases, but rather that any should have been elicited. Members of the order unwilling to go into details have, however, stated enough in a general confessian to authorize the belief that this organization, by whatever pretense men were induced to enrer it, stopped short of no means, however criminal, to accomplish i(s purpose.

The testimony quoted almost without exception establishes that the outrages perpetrated by tho^e bands in disguise were inflicted upon members of the Republican party, both white and colored— in some instances the fact that they were of that party being given as a reason for punishment, in others alleged crime being a pretext, while in some such ac.s as keeping Sunday school for colored chil dren were given as sufficient reason. In one instance, three negroes assumed the disguise of Ku-Klux to cover their crimes but they were detected, convicted, and are now in'tlie Penitentiary. Some witnesses also say they have no doubt the disguise was assumed in other cases by bad men who were not Ku-Kiux.

The second iuquiry, namely, whether persons and property are secure in the State, is considered in two .aspects—first, is the civil law adequate to protect those wronged and punish those who are guilty of these crimes? Second, To what extent does this organization itill exist and commit acts of violence?

Many persons, and some of those whose testimony is quoted, have stated that they believe persons "and property are as secure under the lawsof North Carolina as under those of Massachusetts or Pennsylvania. With the exception of the outrages committed by the secret armed bands of KuKlux, the statement is true. To what extent that opinion is sustained as lo these offenses, when it is shown that over one hundred crimes, ranging from murder to petty larceny have been committed by members of an organization made up of the adherents of one political party, and that in no one instance lias there been conviction or punishment, must be left to the reader of the testimony herewith submitted. Under this state of facts it is idle to say that in the past victims of violence have been protected or the public, safety securcd by a vindication of law and punishment of the guilty.

The policy proposed by Gov. Ilolden in exercise of the power conferred upon him by the law to secure the better protection of life and property, and the conduct and character of the troops employed, and their officers, have been freely commented upon by many witnesses, and while condemned without exception by the Conservatives. seem also lo have arrested some division of sentiment among his political friends. Cruelties upon persons are testified to as having been inflicted by officers, which, if true, can not be too strongly reprobated. The officers deny them, and it is to be observed that the witnesses who prove the most aggravated cases admit that they are members of the Ku-Klux organization.

Frederick N. Strudwick, a membe'- of the House of Repre-cniaiivf. sc name is unenviably connected in!'., astimony with an alleged arrangemui is a member of this order to assassinate Senator Shaffner, introduced resolutions of impeachment against Governor Ilolden, and he is now upon his trial before the Senate.

With what feeling? and apprehensions the cl.ass of persons who have heretofore been victim-- of the lawless outrages in Alamanee county look to the re.sult 01 these proceedings, will be better understood '\v giving the words of a citizen of the county, than from any inferences of the committee. lie savs as follows:

Q. To what do you attribute the occasion of 1 hese outrages? A. Well, I attribute it to this: Just waiting for an opportunity. The feeling there against loyal men has not abated.

Q. Upon what do you base that statement? A. Upon statements made by parties who say that when ccrtain things have transpired then they will bring ce.tain men to account.

Q. What things? A. Whenever they have impeached the Governor of the State and have convicted him and turned him out of office, and also the judiciary of the State, as they propose to do then, they will take charge of men in my county.

Q. Does that refer to the impeachment proceedings now pending? A. Yes, sir.

Q. Are the men who have made the statements of that kiiul members of the Ku-Klux organisation?

A. I do not know—or, rather, I will modify that statement by saying :hat men have told me who have belonged to it.

That such feelings should be entertained will not be considered surprising when it is remembered that, as far as testimony taken shows the condition of the State,"it is clearly established— 1. That the "Ku-Klux organization does exist, has a political purpose, and is composed of members of the Democratic or Conservative party—that it has sought to carry out its purpose by murders, whipping, intimidations and violence against its opponents. 2. That it not only binds its members to carry out the decrees of crime, but protects them against conviction and punishment, first: by disguises and secrecy secondly, by perjury, if necessary, upon the witness stand and in the jury box. 3. That of all the offenders against law in this order—and they must be many hundreds, if not thousands, because these crimes are shown to be committed by organized hands, ranging from ten up to seventy-five—not one has yet been convicted in the whole State.

Such being ihe state of affaire, it issureIv not necessary that thecommittee shc.ild argue the insufficiency of the reasons given for establishing an order which has led to such results. Whatever may have been the original purpose of the Ku-Klux, or the offenses of those to counteract which they allege the order was established, it now has gone so far as to present an issue between government and anarchy, and if it has not reached, it is fast approaching a point where in that issue there can be no neutrals. AYith such an army of criminals at large, with no power irt the State

tribunals to bring them to justice, with organization, oaths and secrety, baffling and defying all the appliances ot law ana bringing them to each other's aid with the consciousness that they number enough to turn the scale of political power in favor oflhe party with which they act, so long as their violence and intimidation are successful against those whom they oppose. With these facts in view, he must have a credulous nature who believes that any temporary lull in the activity of such an agency—at once a crime and power—imparts continued security to those who must become either the victims of their crime or submissive suppliants to their power. The testimony taken covers a large number of the counties of the State, but not all. The time intervening between the appointment of the committee and the close of the session has not enabled us to examine all the witnesses we have summoned, and who were in attendance. The pendency of the impeachment trial at Raleigh rendered it impossible to bring from there the Chief Justice and other witnesses whom we deemed it important to have before us, but the testimony of so many judicial officers of the Stale as we have taken can leave no doubt that, as against the violence of this Ku-Klux organization, the State cannot secure to its citizens life, liberty and the pursiut of happiness. The resolutions do not charge the committee with the duty of examining into the power of Congress to afford a remedy for so great a deprivation of their rights as is suffered by citizens of the United States under the government of a State. They have discharged their dity in reporting tlie facts so far as their investigations have enabled them to do so, and in the light of these facts, whether any, and what remedy can be applied, must be left to the deliberations of Congress to determine.

The testimony taken on cross-examina-tion shows the existence of Ku-Klux organizations in Lenoir and Greene counties in April, 1SC9 that the death of Sheriff Colgrove was voted in one of their meetings, because he assisted to arrest one Hines, a member of the order that he was murdered in pursuance of that decree in April, 1S69 that Ilines with another member of the order who was confined in jail with him were forcibly released from jail at Kingston by his fellow members.

Senators Blair and Rayard, constituting a minority of the committee, found themselves unable to agree with ihe majority, and present their views at length.

In closing this report of the investigation thus fa. made into the outrages in North Carolina, it is proper to say that the largest latitude was allowed in the examination of witnesses that they were not confined in (heir statements by any technical laws of evidence that no objection was made to any member of the committee examining upon anv question that he considered had any relation to the subject of inquiry and that consequently much testimony elicited may seem to be foreign to (he question whether outrages were committed, and whether persons and property are secure in the State. Of this class, particularly, is that relating to the management of railroads, and the disposition of State securities by railroad Presidents. Where public men of either party have been reflected upon by tiie (estimpny in this incidental way, it was the design of the committe to call them ihat they might have the benefit of their own statements in answer, but want of time, and other reasons, already stated, have prevented our doing it.

While engaged in prosecuting our inquiry as to North Carolina, many communications have been received calling for examination into outrages oi a similar character to those complained of in that State, whice have been committed before and since the committee JJwas organized, by bands of men in disguise in other States.

Complaint is made that within the last two weeks the capital of Kentucky was entered by a body of men armed and masked, who proceeded to the jail, look possession of it, rnd set at liberty a man charged with murder, and then rode away unmolested. Shortly before that the jail at Union, South Carolina, was entered, and ten prisoners taken out and killed. Like complaints of murder, scourging and violence without redress, and demands for investigations and the protecting arms of the government against these lawless marauders, have been forwarded from the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana, irginia, Kentucky, Texas and Tennessee. Into none of these could the committee examine, considering it better io pursue our inquiry to completion if possible in one State rather than take partial and disjointed statements as to all, and leaving to the Senate the determination whether the public interests require this investigation to be pursued further.

THE Maine Legislature does not think much of plusiology. Some benevolent but narrow-minded member, anxious to do good, proposed to have the study of physiology introduced into the public schools, and to require (he teachers to pass an examination in that branch. The Legislature promptly and wisely voted i: down. In no direction is the truth of the old adage, a "little learning is a dangerous thing," belter illustrated than in the slight knowledge of physiology and hygiene which can be picked up in an ordinary school, or by reading a few numbers of these "health magazines which afllict the rnnnlrv. Give persons a little smattering of physiology, and imbue them with ideas about bathing, ventilation, digestion, etc., and they are the most tlioijh!y uncomfortable and unpleasant pc 1 in the world. If they don't bath or or diet or worry themselves to death, thev succeed in annoying almost everybody who has, anything to do with them. The less people, know about their stomachs the better. 'This business of "popularizing science, by indiscriminately administering weak doses of all sorts of theories is a pernicious humbug. The man who throws Dr. This One or That One at you on every occasion, is to be avoided like a pestilence, and the Legislature that would increase the number of such fellows without end can not be loo severely punished.— fnd. -Ycirs.

.Mr. Sunnier.

There can be no doubt that the removal of Mr. Sumner from the Committee 011 Foreign Affairs is a very unfortunateevent —but Republican Senators,no less faithful, if less distinguished, than Mr. Sumner himself, have arrived at the conclusion tliat the step was absolutely nccessary, and therefore i: is nonsense to attempt to saddle the President with the whole, or even chicf, responsibility for it. Mr. Sumner, it has been positively staled, had refused to speak to the Secretary of State but yesterday the statement was qualified, and it was alleged that Mr. Sumner had not declined to hold ofiievd communications with Mr. Fish. An important part of the business of the country would be seriously embarrassed if the Chairman of the Committee cn Foreign Relations persisted in maintaining an attitude of irreconcilable hostility to the Secretary of State and the Administration. Mr. Sumner is not a man of partial likes or dislikes. He does one or the other with his whole heart. Oilier Senators, ccrtainly ought to be allowed some freedom of choice in making up their Committee-, and to suppose that they have submitted to the imperious dictation of the President on the subject is to incult the Senators, and to take a very improbable view of the whole case. It is evident, however, that a large sec tion of the Republican party will regard Mr. Sumner as a martyr to his opinions, and for that reason alone we cannot but regret that Republican Senators should have felt themselves compelled in duty to find another Chairman for the Committee 011 Foreign Relations.— -Y 1'. Times.

FORNEY'S PRESS, one of the staunehest supporters of the administration of President GRANT, says:

San Domingo can never be made a test in the Republican party, and ought not to be. But if it is determined to make it so, the poorest way to begin the wretched business is to strike down the great man who led ihe Republican hosts when thousands who proudly enroll themselves among them were either Democrats or doubters. The managers in this verybad proceeding will realize that their party will be even more outraged by this sacrifice than the Democracy in the case of Douglas.
