very busy; not a minute for anything but work. This tax bill has absorbed me lately, and everything else also. But I have had time to hear of your success, for it comes to me constantly from so many tongues. You have done an excellent work, and laid a foundation for fame. Chase speaks of your doings always with great interest and confidence. He authorized me to use his name in proposing you to the Secretary of War for governor of that region. Sumner wrote to Mr. Bright from Boston, August 5:— I wish I could sit by the seashore and talk with you again. It is hard to write of events and of persons with that fulness and frankness which you require. The letters which I enclose from Mr. Atkinson, Edward Atkinson, of Boston. a most intelligent and excellent person, will let you see the chance of cotton from the South. Do not count upon it.

It brought also reproaches from old comrades. Mr. Blaine, Speaker of the House, addressed at once an open letter to Sumner, animadverting on his advice to colored citizens, and reminding him of the unnatural company he was keeping with former secessionists and confederates of Preston S. Brooks. Sumner promptly replied August 5; Works, vol. XV. pp. 196-201. The reply to Mr. Blaine brought an approving letter from Rev. A. Toomer Porter, of Charleston, S. C. Invitations to address the Southern people came to the senator. An interview between him and Southern delegates returning from the Democratic convention at Baltimore is given in the New York World, July 12. in a caustic vein, saying to Mr. Blaine at the outset, that, serving in the fellowship of men devoted to the Antislavery cause, he had not missed the Speak
