Butler and Sumner Rivalry Recalled in Washington Flood
A long roundup of political clash and Southern kinship traces the Butler family from South Carolina, with Sumner’s reply to Butler over fugitive slaves, the Hamburg massacre, and later references to Butler descendants. The narrative shifts to Washington flood scenes and river barrier effects, detailing Long Bridge damage, city transit disruption, and grafters observing the spectacle from the Capitol.
