at the conduct of our upper classes; but do not forget the attitude of the workers. Sumner's French correspondents during the war–Circourt, Henri Martin, Laboulaye, Augustin Cochin, Laugel, Montalembert, the Count of Paris, and his old friends at Montpellier, the family Martins-Gordon—were all friendly to our country as well as opponents of the second empire. Circourt, Martin, and Cochin were friends of George Sumner, whose death drew from them sympathetic letters to his brother. M. Chevalier wrote July 2, 1865, but his letters were infrequent. There was hardly any public opinion in France, and the action of the government was the expression of the emperor's will. Montalembert, whom Sumner had met on his later visits to Paris, rejoiced in our successes, and expressed in his letters his admiration of Sumner's career. The Count of Paris, The count, who wrote English as perfectly as French, wrote to Sumner in French, saying that he did so because of Sumner's thorough knowle

ds 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. Among English travellers calling on him in this or the preceding year were John Morley, G. Shaw Lefevre, and Leslie Stephen. From his French acquaintance, M. Chevalier, came the expression of the wish that he would take the mission to France. Chevalier wrote concerning the proposed canal between the Atlantic and the Pacific, expressing his belief that the Nicaragua route was the only practicable one. The chief Act of the third session of the Fortieth Congress, Dec. 7, 1868, to March 4, 1869, was the passage of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, which ordained that the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or

Lafayette, which he had delivered ten years before; but generally he gave a lecture prepared in the autumn on the war between France and Prussia, in which he treated the opening events, and passed a heavy judgment on Louis Napoleon, with a plea for sympathy for France now that her usurper was overthrown, and a protest against her dismemberment. The Duel between France and Germany, with its Lesson to Civilization. (Works, vol. XIV. pp. 9-85.) The lecture was the subject of a review, by M. Chevalier, in the Journal des Debats. The address pointed as its moral that the war-system should be discarded, and the nations should disarm themselves. The New York Herald, Dec. 2, 1870, took exception to the idealism of the lecture. In 1870 he was still enforcing the truths which he announced twenty-five years before, in his celebrated oration of July 4, 1845. On his route he enjoyed the hospitality of friends,—of Judge Harris at Albany, Gerrit Smith at Peterborough, and Senator Fenton at Ja

is given by a correspondent in the New York Tribune, Feb. 7, 1873. One day he passed at Chantilly, where the Due d'aumale, whom he had known in England, drove him in the grounds, and showed him in the chateau the gallery of the battles of Conde. Here he met again the Count of Paris, his visitor at Washington in the Civil War, and since then his correspondent. He received invitations to dine from M. de Caubert, dean of the civil tribunal of Rouen, and from his old friend Madame Mohl. M. Chevalier (1806-1879), then absent from Paris, expressed in a letter to Sumner his regret that they were not to meet. He had an interesting conversation with Gambetta; The New York Herald, Nov. 27. 1872, reports an interview with the senator, in which he conversed concerning Thiers, Gambetta, the French people, John Bright, and civil service reform. but while admiring the patriotism of that French leader, Sumner discerned his limitations. Gambetta said, What France most needs at the present tin
