Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annis Domini, 1873-74-75, or the Presidency of Horace Greeley
William Tweed is thunderstruck. He rushes to the President, and remonstrates warmly with him. Sumner is doing his best to ruin What little commerce the country has left after the war of the Be bellion. A fierce scene and bitter reef-imi nation take place between the two mem bers of the Cabinet.
This is enjoyed by the Sage of Chappaqua, who rubs his hands with delight, when, at last, Charles Sumner resigns.
Mr. Tweed does not. He and the Secre tary of the Interior are now masters of the situation, andan ample apology is tendered to Great Britain.
