SUMNER,. Poluts in the Carcer of the falient g assachusetis Senators His Course on Reconstruction, Impeach« ment, and Santo Domingo. Why Xo Abandoned the Ropubli~ can Party. From Our Own Corrcspondent, WasittyaTax, March 15, 1874, Tho denth of & man of » poriod shonld not bo suforad to flicker out of mind with n fow words of sommonplace culogy. What were Mr. Bum- ner's mghts to famo hava boen alroady related. Did ho prove in his careor that public life has a privato nolaco to componsate for the woar and tosr? Quuid he havo lived botter and beon as strong? Ifas tho ngo shown signy’ of appreol- atlog him ? CIARITY FOR ALL. To answer the Iasl question first, I may sny that tho Southern Membors and Sonatora bo- haved 8 probably no other raco of mon bug Amgrieans could hinyo done at the funoral of e, Sumner, 'Tho strugglo botweon Jacobites and Hanovaridns in England, oxtended through the roign of five Kinga. ‘Tho contoat hatwaon Mon- stcliloss und Revolutionists in Franco wsuu rages, after tho oxplration of eighty years, But ot Bumner's bior, in mourning snshos, stond old Bourbons like MoCresry, old,slaveholding Whigs like Btovenson, and Confeddfato ofiloors; nud, 80 far as known, no man uttersd com- plaint, Thoro soemed to bo a faoling that lie hrd dono his duty as ho understood it, and thnt, though thioy and their pooplo wero the vietims, Hothing was to bo Imputed to bim moro than to any thinker or soldier whom an inoxorable publio sentiment pressod forward, Aud underneath wag tho moral light, nover extwguishod in any sentiont Losom, that Sumnor's causs was Nas ture’s taw, Liborty's Iustinct, aud the World's in- tention. Nothing could suppross this conviction, even with interested mon. Old Mr. Drownlow must Lliave folt it, thongh ho used both the press and tho pulpit for yours to prove tho plety of slave- liolding. Indeed, how many mon wore there in that American Senato who had not at some time Tirted up o voice for the equity or right of tho moster? I can find only ons, and X presume ihet bo nevor aid, though e had.not the same sonso of uatiouallty that nativos hid in Lro-Slas vory days. Imean Carl Schurz, Certainly in tho'liat do not belong tho lenders of the patty in tho Benate: Camoron, who was o henchmen of Dresident Polle; Boutwell, who was a Democrat ; Carpontor, who did not boeome o Ropublican till tho War was far advauced; Chandler, whose Amerieanism involved Blavery as n legilimate in- atitution 5 Coukling, whose afillistions wero with Couseryatism, Edmunds, whoso record on Blavery is microscopio; Frolinghuysen, who saw nothing wrong in Clay’s ronoated concossions Lo thohumanity and the lnw of Slavery; Hamlin, an old Domooratle offico-gatter; Logan, whd could Jitt up bis volco smartly if an Abolitionist camo it sigght ; or Morlon, whose work for tho glavo oo in on the Ku-Klux bill twenty-two yenrs aftor Sumner supported Van Buren and Adams, In tho preaenco of that doad man, every Sona- tor from tho Nortk, locking at the veticat Robal all-bearor, might have heard from thosc pale \ps tho reproof: * Lot him that is without sin throw tho tlrat stono I" There he Iny, the original Anti-Slavery Sen- ntor,—tho only ono, DBon Wade's friends cluim a8 muoh for him, but ho has not boon 1 thoe Beuato for yeara, Mr. Chase reached bis Aholi- tioniem by "a sort of logal self-persnasion,—the ‘mast gradual and polite #tylo of conversion on recard. Glddings and Lovejoy nover got to tho Sonate, If they had all been there, with Soward to boot, the fact would have remained that Sum- nor alono took tha_bluut fssuo up to that selact body, and, hike & Christian Uicoro, led it on to trivpl. ~ Lying there in the stato of frailly, low a8 nny onomy might wisk him, the tonder- nesy of his opponents was graciond to cee, and in tho titlo of his enrliest address wo felt’ that :'!.mm' wag “Tho Truo Grandeur of the Na- ion.” ; A8 A PIONEER, The denth of Mr. Sumuor hag staried a dis- cuesion whieh, although of « dialeotic churactor, I8 quaint and curious: ‘‘ What proprictyis thero in Congross voling monoy to immortalize men wha broko the Inws as thay were, ta accomplish reforms ns Lhoy aro 7" Itis nu:';nuwd, and with proprietry, to erect a substautinl, bat inux;,):maiva. monument to the authors of the work of Lmancipation, while their duy and genoration remember thom, Tho proposizion takes this form, aud Iy under dis- tuskion. “Five portrait-fizures, in o gencral dosign, of Lincoln surrounded by Soward, Chare, Sumner, wnd Greoloy, represonting the politiclan, the jurist, tho agitator, and the journslist of tho great work, 'obo awarded to the five ropre- sontalive scnlptors of tho country, ag Ward, Brown, Btory, Rogers, and ‘Tbompson, or Rine- bart, Eachiiguro would cost shout £15,000.

As to the railroad legislation of our Stale, it has not been proven to be cithor good or bad, and will not until it is obeyed. It tho railronds of this State will run six or twelve months at tho rates fixed by the Railway Commission, wa will bo in u pusition-to’ judge whoethor tha law needs roponling or not, What sooms a wondorfully cu- rious fuct to the public ia tho atlompt to prove o Inw o fallure beforo it is testod.

But it is idle for the writer to threaton that “tho great interests, manufscturivg, mining, and business,” will oombiua in opposition, If by 4 groat intorostn " bio intonds the oporatives ot ployad in theso branches of businoss, howill find thnt thoy aro alroady combining, not iu opposi- tion to the agricullural class, but m harmony with thom. 1f ho meana tho capitalists ongagad inthose undortakingy, thoy are ulroady comn- bined,—in ' Plow Rings " in combinations that sond up the privo of conl to 15 por ton to tha Now York workingman, when it costs &3 at tho mouth of tho pit n Penusylyania; in Bloyator Rings, aud the various organizations whareby mou avail thomselves of tho esrniugs of othor men, It {8 Tiardly worth while to threaton whon you cannot muko the situation much worse than it hus heon tho last throo or four yoars: or talk about “combination against combination,” as it it wora a now idoa to anybody savo tho agricul- tural oloed.
