egroes coming within our lines, and to propose methods for protecting and assisting them. Sumner hoped much from it. Its results were, however, inconsiderable; events rather than theories were to settle the problem. Sumner wrote to F. W. Bird, March 19:— At last the Freedman's Commission is organized,—Dale Owen, Howe, McKaye . . . .I have seen the commissioners, and like them much. They are excellent and admirable, and enter upon the work generously and nobly. They have invited Howe torgyll, April 7: He had written the duchess a full letter, March 24, on the progress of the war, and the Confederate cruisers which were being fitted out in England.— Just as I was about to write to you, I am gladdened by your letter of 19th March, which in its tone is so inconsistent with that war which we are now expecting from England. But first let me express the pleasure I had in Tennyson's ode. A Welcome to Alexandra. I have read it aloud again and again, and always with fresh<

Bryant, vol. II. pp. 238-242. The Evening Post, March 1, 1866, contains a rather cynical notice of Sumner's speech of February 5 and 6, 1866. While retaining its Republican connection, it regarded (November 6, 7, and 8, 1867) the reconstruction measures of Congress, except the fourteenth amendment, as needless, violent, unstatesmanlike, and fanatical. The New York Times, in successive leaders, took positive ground against negro suffrage as any part of the reconstruction. March 2; June 3, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29. The Cincinnati Commercial printed eleven years later letters found in Andrew Johnson's office at Greenville, Tenn., after his death, which approved his policy of reconstruction at the outset. Among them were letters and telegrams from George Bancroft, James Gordon Bennett, Henry J. Raymond, Simon Cameron, and W. H. Seward. Charles A. Dana, then an editor in Chicago, wrote to Sumner that it was advisable to keep with the President as far as possible in order to preven

the authorship of his own writings, describing his unbearable traits and manners, as well as his addiction to quarrels, and expressing in quaint and emphatic phrase the belief, that, with a contract for service at one thousand dollars a month, Badeau would not after the other party's death ever finish the job. The details of Badeau's exposure before the country in his treatment of General Grant are found in the journals of the day (New York Tribune, March 18. 1888; New York Evening Post, March 19, 21: New York Herald, March 21). Badeau's persistence in claiming two salaries at the same time, one in civil and the other in military service, has found a record in the reports of the United States Supreme Court, vol. CXXX. p. 4:9. General Butler's description of Badeau in his Book, p. 860, note, has the double merit of truth and piquancy. Ingratitude to Grant and disrespect to his memory were the fitting sequel to slanders on Sumner and treachery to Motley. The mention of this person in

onfidence with Schurz and Trumbull, kept himself in reserve, avowing his opposition to the President's renomination, but hoping that the Republican convention which was to meet at Philadelphia in June would for the sake of harmony name another candidate. No one but himself, however, counted at all on such a solution of the difficulty; and indeed his own faith must have been slight. His position is indicated, perhaps with authority, in the Washington correspondence of the Boston Journal, March 19. Compare New York Evening Post, March 16. The Liberal Republican movement was from the start in some danger of falling into the hands of enthusiasts or irresponsible malcontents. Its promoters, particularly the editors of the journals already mentioned, who to a great extent took the initiative, did what they could to avert the catastrophe, and to that end invoked Sumner's open and active co-operation. There was a moral power in his name which the other leaders did not have; and he
