President’s friendson the contrary, say that
i it is important, in fact absolutely necessary
that there should be. a friendly tmderstand-
ing between the chairman of this committee
and the head of the nation, or at least that
they should be upon speaking terms: and
that there are at present, particularly. sev-
eral important matters which demand this
mutual confidence and good feeling; «and
nearly every Senator who favored Mr. Sum-
ner‘s removal took occasion to deny having
been influenced in the matter by the Presi-
dam.
The whole subject. stripped of all eu-
umglcmcnts, seems to be reduced to the
following facts: The President and Mr.
Sumner disagreed. The former is unsettli-
mental. democratic and unyielding; the
latter refractory, inflexible and overbearing.
Neither would listen to argument or yield
to dictation, and they quarreled. Mr. Sum—
ner henceforth, both publicly and in private,
treated the President with contempt. This
contention at last begun to interfere with
the work of Congress and the dignity of
the government. and a majority of Mr.
Snmner‘s colcagues decided, with great ap-
parent reluctance, that he must be sacrificed
to the public harmony. Whether or not the
action be wise we cannot judge: but that
the motives of both parties are honest we
have no good reason to doubt. .

Five Mlle River.
1b the Editor of flea Sentinel.
I have been a residéht here fifteen years,
and since the strife commenced, have care-
fully noted the doings of both parties, and
to give an unbiased opinion, would say the
Five Mile River party have been upright
and manly in all their proceedings, while the
Rowayton party have worked under-hand-
edly, and been guided by a law of their own
make. where a' minority rules against a
large majority. I have never taken any ac-
tion in the matter, and therefore think I can
