Conversation flowed freely, and all were happy, full of rejoicing and hope. The recent successesh and what I feel. Always with much sympathy, Your sincere friend, John Bright. Sumner wrote to the Duchess of Argyll, April 24:— The Sewards, father and son, have rallied to-day, and seem to be doing well. The conspirators will be g the freedmen, who cannot read or write. But we need the votes of all, and cannot afford to wait.

in debate—not only by Trumbull, but by Howard, Morrill of Maine, Fessenden, and Wilson—Sumner, although he had prepared himself on the Civil Rights bill, did not speak; but he watched the measure closely and with deep interest, approving it altogether, and recognizing it as a precedent for his own bill for equal political rights in the reconstructed States.

I am more anxious now than during the war. The animal passions of the nation aided the rally then. Now the appeal is to the intelligence, and to the moral and religious sentiments. How strangely we are misrepresented in the Times. I read it always, and find nothing true in its portraiture of our affairs. Believe me, the people are with Congress. When it is considered that the President has such an amazing power, it is extraordinary to see h<

tements known to the writer. He took the best view of the General's qualities,—writing to Lieber, November 1: Grant will be our President, with infinite opportunities. I hope and believe he will be true to them. Sumner wrote to the Duchess of Argyll, July 28:— The duke's letter came to sustain the reports by the cable and the press of the reception of Longfellow. I am charmed to know this; he deserves it all. He is too modest for a lion, and has too little sympathy with public dinnersfriends died at this period,—Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, and the Duchess of Sutherland. he had become intimate with the two former on his visit to England as a youth, and with the duchess on his two later visits. Writing to the Duchess of Argyll, he referred to the many tombs which had opened for those to whom he had been attached.

the breach still open. The English people were very sensitive at the time; and the sensitiveness was natural. The ministry, in which were Gladstone, Bright, Argyll, Forster, and Stasfeld,—all except the first our friends in the Civil War,—had been very desirous of settling the question, and sincerely thought they had done soerate in their judgments, and time cured the soreness of others; but some-Lord Houghton among them—continued to regard him as an enemy of England. The Duchess of Argyll wrote sadly, May 1 Your speech is a grievous disappointment. . . . Alas! that I should think so sadly of any speech of yours. For the first time I am silenced w be consulted, as nothing can be done without the consent of that body. He had talked with John Rose of Canada, who had sounded him about sending out the Duke of Argyll. The duke must not come unless to be successful. The case must not be embittered by another rejection.

rect from the context. Yours very truly, O. P. Morton. While the Joint High Commission was in session, Sumner, though his connection with the treaty was to be only that of a senator, was in frequent conference with its English members. They recognized that he retained his hold on the American people, and that it was very important to have his co-operation in the final result. Two of them—Earl de Grey and Sir Stafford Northcote—had brought letters to him, the former from the Duke of Argyll, and the hitter from Thomas Baring. The senator and Professor Bernard were already in sympathy by common studies in international law. Sumner was invited by Sir Edward Thornton to meet them at his table without other guests. Once he dined with the commissioners, and several times he breakfasted with Earl de Grey. Late in April the senator gave all the members, including Lord Tenterden their secretary, a dinner, when were also present Lady Thornton and Lady Macdonald, Cushing, Thurman, an

Two days were given to the British Museum, and one to the Bethnal Green Museum. His lodgings were at Maurigy's, 1 Regent Street, soon after converted into a club-house. His admission to the Athenaeum Club, always his favorite resort in London, was arranged by G. Shaw Lefevre. The Duchess of Argyll welcomed him to England and invited him to Inverary. You could not go back, she wrote, without seeing your old friends again. Other invitations came from Robert Ingham at Newcastle, Mrs. Adair (nee Wadsworth) near Dublin, General Sickles at Madrid, and Baron Gerolt at Bonn. After a week in London, during which his weak condition had been aggravated by the tidings of his nomination for governor, he crossed to Paris, where he took lodgings at Hotel Walther, Rue Castiglione.

He was most cordial, and we had much talk about Gladstone and the A's [Argylls]. His last words to me were that he was going to write to the Duchess of Argyll the next day. Alas! I wrote to her for him to tell her particulars of the end. Mr. Kingsley is here in error as to the time of their meeting, as it was several the conduct of Great Britain in the Civil War. G. W. Smalley reviewed the comments of the London journals in the New York Tribune, March 30, 1874. The Duchess of Argyll wrote to Mrs. H. B.

I dined at the Duke of Argyll's, with a very brilliant party, and we talked much of you; but Anna was in Kent, on a visit to the Mild mays and Stanhopes, where I was very glad to have her go for refreshment for a few days, and so missed this pleasure. . . . . Macaulay is or effect as he used to, or claiming so large a portion of the table's attention; but well enough to be out a great deal in the evenings, and with fresh spirits. I dined with him and Lord John, at Richmond at Lord Lansdowne's, and at the Duke of Argyll's. The rest were breakfasts, at Lord Stanhope's, Milman's, Van De Weyer's, etc., and at his own house. He lives in a beautiful villa, with a rich, large, and brilliant lawn behind it, keeps a carriage, and—as he told us—keeps four men-servants,
