nger by the treatment he received from Fessenden, who without any due provocation descended into personalities, and pursued Sumner with unconcealed bitterness. March 9. Congressional Globe, pp. 1277-1280. Sumner followed with a reply which was made in the best of temper. Unlike the Maine senator, Williams, Howe, Henderson, anby a puerile and pedantic criticism, and by the united forces of self-righteous Republicans and unrighteous copperheads. The Boston Advertiser, February 27 and March 9, 10, 12, disapproved Sumner's opposition to the amendment. Sumner replied in its columns to its article of March 12 (Works, vol. x. pp. 375, 376). C. E.

ht to have a bill at once carried to that effect, Sumner again interposed an objection to such summary action, saying that the bill ought to be most profoundly considered before it is acted upon by the Senate. Mr. Fish, in an interview with Sumner in June, 1870, instanced Sumner's action in the proposed repeal of the Tenure-of-Office Act as one of his acts in opposition to the President (Works, vol. XIV. p. 259); but all the senator did in relation to the repeal was to object to action; March 9, without deliberation. He kept out of the debate and contention altogether, and voted with the mass of senators of his party. It is more likely that the President was displeased by his objection to summary and exceptional legislation which would relieve Mr. Stewart from disability. The New York Tribune, March 21, 1872, said that Sumner's sonorous voice arrested the proposed exemption, and that the senators after reflection were generally found to be against it.

Except Sherman, no senator at this session contributed so much to the debate on the refunding and consolidation of the public debt. He succeeded in modifying in some points the committee's bill, but in his insistence on definite measures of resumption he was in advance of his associates. Sumner had from his first entrance into the Senate taken a constant interest in the reduction of postage, both on forei

When asked on the evening of March 9 if he should speak on the subject in the Senate, he answered, The dear old Commonwealth has spoken for me, and that is enough. Washington Chronicle, March 13. he received many letters and calls of congratulation. Whittier wrote, February 17:— The record of the Bay State is now clear.
