emove objections to jurors on account of opinions founded upon public rumor, statements in public journals, or common notoriety. Sumner, who was opposed altogether to the trial of Davis, questioned such a retroactive provision intended for a case of unprecedented historical importance, which, as he said, should be approached carefully, most discreetly, and with absolute reference to the existing law of the land. January 22; Works, vol. x. pp. 111, 112. Harlan recalled in the Senate, July 12, 1870 (Congressional Globe, p. 5508), in presence of Sumner, who by his silence assented to the statement, that very soon after the close of the war, when he (Harlan) expressed the opinion that a few of the rebel leaders ought to be hung, Sumner looked grave, as he often does under such circumstances, and said he had come to the conclusion that it would be wrong to inflict capital punishment on any of them. He thought that we ought to be able to close up that fearful contest without the shedd

enden to some bitter reflections, of which Gillette, formerly a senator, wrote from Hartford: I have just read with unutterable disgust Mr. Fessenden's gross and wanton outrage upon you. . . . I congratulate you upon the dignity of your noble bearing under so great provocation. After this session Sumner had no reason to complain of Fessenden, and they came better to understand each other. Three years later the compensation was voted, notwithstanding Sumner's persevering opposition. July 12, 1870, Congressional Globe, pp. 5497, 5502, 5508. When the heats of the contest had passed, the senator and the secretary had, in 1872, a cordial meeting in London. Men and Measures of Half a Century, pp. 2:32-234, by Hugh McCulloch. Mr. McCulloch suggests that Sumner had a personal grievance which prompted his opposition, —a suggestion which is without proof, and contrary to the presumptions. The cession of Russian America to the United States, a territory of 570,000 square miles, took
