I send you this French translation of the Report. I cannot obtain the English. The president's friends were afraid to propose the printing of extra copies, as that would have opened the whole question; so that only the ordinary number for the Senate was printed. Meanwhile, I hear that the dementia continues. The flag of Samana still flies without authority; and money has been obtained at New York to pay another year's lease. Here is usurpation.

th much reluctance, and in obedience to the sentiments of those whose kindness awakens my gratitude, that I now withdraw, and ask you to cancel any engagements made on my account. Accept my thanks, and believe me, my dear sir, Faithfully yours, Charles Sumner. James Redpath, Esq. In November Mr. Sumner addressed a letter to a meeting held in New York, condemnatory of the outrages of The Virginius, deprecating any menace of war, and advising the liberation of the enslaved in the West Indies. During the last session of Congress, he opposed, as usual, any inflation of the currency, and advocated an early return to specie payments. His last speech in Congress, terminating a brilliant senatorial career of almost a quarter of a century, was made on Saturday, the 7th of March, in the discussion of his substitute for the Centennial Bill, which had passed the House. He contended that the one hundredth anniversary of the Republic should be entirely national in its character; a

After the delivery of his great speech, on the last day of February, 1872, in support of his resolution demanding an investigation of the sales of ordnance stores made during the war between France and Germany, the return of his old malady rendered it imperative that he should cease a while from mental labor. He returned, however, to the Senate in May, and made, on the last day of that month, a memorable speech, in which he declared his lohe 5th of September left for Europe. On his arrival in Liverpool, he received the news of his nomination by the Liberals and Democrats as governor of Massachusetts. This honor he declined. He met with a cordial reception both in England and in France, and had interviews with Thiers and Gambetta; but his health was so much impaired, that his time was mostly occupied in looking over engravings and other works of art, I have not read an American newspaper, said he, writing from London, since I s

determined, feeble as he was, to make up the deficit in the lecture-field. He therefore sent this letter to the Boston Lyceum Bureau:-- Washington, 13th May, 1873. My dear Redpath,--Nobody is authorized to act as my agent; nor do I remember any communication with the New York Bureau. I should like to lecture next autumn, if consistent with my health; but this is still uncertain. I congratulate you on your return home, which is a surprise. I supposed you would give a month to Vienna and the national honor. Sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. On his last visit to Boston, in the autumn of 1873, his reception was almost an ovation, and in delightful contrast with that of the preceding year. He was greeted everywhere with enthusiasm, and pressed on every hand to honor literary and political re-unions with his presence. At a public dinner just before his last departure for Washington, he said in reference to Mr. Wilson the vice-president, sitting near him: He is under
