General Grant vs. Sumner and Stevens. The attitude in which the parties whose names stand at the head of this article present themselves before the world on the important question now agitating the country is eminently proper, as well as highlyelds, it follows as a natural consequence that he should be merciful and magnanimous. On the other hand, Stevens and Sumner have never smelt gunpowder. They have never known what it was to conquer, or even to confront an enemy where gunpowder wdo not mean to assert that the timid are always cruel, but we do assert that they are much oftener cruel than the brave. Sumner and Stevens are the very men, of all others, to urge a continuance of bloodshed; Grant is the very man to urge a course or General Grant,) had any one treated General Grant in this manner, he would not, most certainly, have pursued the course Sumner has pursued. If there was to be any vengeance, he would have avenged himself on the spot. He would not have sneaked off
Latest News by mail. Mr. Sumner's Scrap-Book — Jeff. Davis's trial — bounties Equalized, &c.Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, December 20. --Congress was without special interest to-day. In the Senate, Mr. Sumner delivered a speech of nearly two hours duration, made up principally of extracts from newspaper letters, private communications and other irresponsible matter, which he presented as a contradiction to General Grant's report on the condition of affairs in theMr. Sumner delivered a speech of nearly two hours duration, made up principally of extracts from newspaper letters, private communications and other irresponsible matter, which he presented as a contradiction to General Grant's report on the condition of affairs in the South! Senator Cowan looked upon this "scrap-book" as the production of "anonymous scribblers and cotton thieves." The Senate Judiciary Committee to-day perfected a system of legislation looking to the organization of the United States District Court at Richmond, and the prospective trial of Jeff. Davis. The House Military Committee has agreed to report a bill to equalize soldiers' bounties, so as to give those who entered the army early in the war as much as those who entered it at
lass may properly be called a sect, which ever counsels peace, could do less than to sustain what shall substitute a peaceful sway for that of the sword. Senator Sumner emptied his desk to-day of a voluminous budget of memorials, emanating from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois and Virginins were stated by the Senator to be signed by whites and blacks (mainly "freedmen," and of course those engaged in teaching them, as the instigators). What Mr. Sumner said of the South. He dwelt upon the condition of the States recently in rebellion, and read letters from friends of his in the South informing him that Wadof the freedmen is most vindictive to the colored people of that section, and predicting that in five years they would either be in power or fighting us again. (Mr. Sumner.--If the former. "God help New England.") That the attempts on the part of the rebel communities to break down all truly loyal men are even more rabid than when
Greeley on the President's message. President Johnson yesterday transmitted to the Senate deeply interesting reports recently made to him on the condition of the South by General Grant, General Howard and General Schurz, accompanying them by a brief message, wherein he recommends an early restoration of the States lately in rebellion to all the rights and privileges which they forfeited by attempting to break up the Union. We find in the text of this message no adequate reason for Mr. Sumner's denunciation of it. If the President had demanded of Congress that it act on his judgment rather than its own, then he would have acted unwarrantably; but as he has simply given his own view of the existing situation, with his reasons for suggesting a particular course, he deserves neither denunciation nor obloquy. Two great ends are now in view: 1. The restoration of the States lately in revolt to their former position in the Union. 2. The protection of their freedmen from future
trial. The resolution was adopted. The following Committee on Reconstruction on the part of the Senate was announced: --Messrs. Fessenden, of Maine; Grimes, of Iowa; Howard, of Michigan; Johnson, of Maryland, and Williams, of Oregon. Mr. Sumner presented the petition of colored citizens of Tennessee, protesting against the reception of the Tennessee delegation until the recognition of the rights of the colored persons by that State. He also presented a petition of the white citizens of the District of Columbia, asking the extension of the right of suffrage to the colored people of the District. Mr. Sumner stated that the white people of this district had for years been squatting upon the civil and political rights of the colored people, and he was glad this state of things was about to end. The petition was referred. Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to guarantee freedom to the inhabitants of the United States by repealing all laws based upon distinction of race or col
