Senator Sumner, lu conversation with a
gentleman yesterday, laid he did not favor
the nominatiou of Judge David Davis
for the Presidency. While he refused to
name his candfdafe, he expressed the
opinion that he should be a national man
and not the representative of any parlku
lar fact Ion or section. Sumner ami his fVkmda
will do all they can to defeat the nomina
tion of Davis at Cincinnati. It Is uudrrstord
Tleytrefernato
Francis Adams. There are Uiose Who as
sert that Sumner himself la rather ambi
tious of receiving the nomination; but at
all events he Is open In, his opposition to
Davis. ' lie Is said to be preparing a pow
erful speech, which lie wlU deliver upon
the first opportunity, reviewing the admin
istration of Grant, and showing how It lias
violated the constitution, and how it his
tory te tilled with all sorts of corruption.
General Garfield and Mr. Dawes, whoee
names were mentioned , by , Senator
Tipton to a Cincinnati reporter as
among those opposed to tho nomination
of Grant, arejponsldered alarmed lest their
landing in tlie party may be coin
promised. It bat been generally under
stood here that neither ef these gentlemen
was very enthusiastic for (iraut, and that
they would prefer some other person should
receive the nomination. The opposition
within the ranks of the Republican party
lias always counted tiKn Dawes and Gar
field as men who, while Ibey would not
openly opposo CJrai.it, hId! themselves
ready to join aiiythiugthat promised suc
cessful opjweitioit. fiplous statement,
however, seems to have been premature,
If not indiscreet, and both gentlemen have
authorized a denial of It. They say they
have no sympathy with the Cincinnati
movement, and do not wish to he counted
as among its supporters..

bot U
The chair was moved up to the table,
the guide was dispatched for a pitcher of

ing brief statement from t)K) lips of lite en
tertainer. ,
Mr. George Abbot, the gentleman already
descriled, is now iu correspoudence with
some of the ut prominent iltixens of
North Carolina, In reference to the out
rages committed by thl notorious Barry
Lowrey and his gang of outlaws, w ho have
Ions lxen a terror to the ivspectabloell iacns
of tlm Wat."-Tho-" Governor of North
Carolina lias ofted a rewaid of M5,XI0 for
tho body, dead or alive, of the leader of
this band or horse-thieves, robliers and
murderers. Lowrey defies the authorities,
threatening to kill anybody who is sent to
apprt'tic-nd him. Mr. Abbot was In North
Carolln.i during the war, being present at
the taking of Wilmington, lie was also
there in lNlfi and 18(17, under the name of
Jack Allen. He was welt known as a
Northern man and a Unionist, and was re
garded by the natives with everything but
kindly feelings, lie was ordered to leave
by tlie Kti-Klux at that time, but remained
under pt oaeriptinn and In dally peril of his
lire. Mr. Abbot traveled through Koblnson
and Mampson counties, then Infested by
Lowrey and the Kii-KIiit, In tho rharatier
of a traveling dealer In hosiery and Yankee
not Ions, though his travels were not con
lined to these section of the Stale, nor Ids
business limited to selling merchandise,
lie visile I other counties ami used his
money in various speculations. He h jl
hootitia matches ou several occasions with
Lowrey s outlaws, on eacboecaslou miracu
lously escaping death or serlotia wounds.
In 18ou he formed tlie acquaintance of a
mulalo named Jack Jjlvhigston, to whom
he had been recoinmentled by some friends
of his In Sampson county, It was nqire
souUul to him that Livingston was a friend
to Union people, and w ould be of service.
Livingsteu, however, betrayed Abbot to the
Ku-Kiux, audit! was forced to take refuge
hi the swamps for two days to escane tlie
murderers w ho had been put upon Lu trail.
He swore vengeance ou Livingstone, who,
he allege,lias been secretly connected w ith
the Ku-Klux. Abbott lays he has often
talked with Barry Lowery, and at one
time he loaned him $10. lit his intercourse
wlLh the outlaw he was obliged to conceal
his dislike to insure his personal sulcly.
Abbott left North Carolina lu lb07, but re
turned to the Slate In the summer of
About midnight, on the day he reached
WeWrjn? e war-acctnited brartttmlwr-of
men, who ordered him to leave town by
the bridge ever tlie Roanoke river, In fifteen
minutes. Abbott sttectliie that he would
be thrown from the bridge, asked to be
allowed to wait until the next train, re
ceiving a favorable answer through tlie
Interference of Mr. James Gooch, a mer
chant of the cit y, Abbott has smarted ever
since under tho memory of lite ill-treatment
In the State by the Ku-Klux and tlie
Lowrey outlaws, and his summary eject
ment fi-om-Weldon,in 1R(.IIo wishes
to go back to revengo his wrongs on lite
enemies, and stimulated by the large re
nard offered for Lowrey's capture. His
intimate knowledge ef tho haunt and
hiding places of tie roblier baud, he be
lieves, eminently Ills him to lead an expe
dition against them. :
" If the respectable white people of North
Carolina want to bo rid of Lowrey, I'm
the man can do it," be said at the conclu
sion of bis story.
Mr. Abbott was a member of the 07th
regiment, volunteers, J the rebellion, was
