The Bedford County Press came to us very much enlarged and improved last week. We are glad to see that our friend Long is prospering. as.. Last week chronicled the death of two of America's most distinguished states men—Millard Fillmore and Charles Sum ner. In life the views of these men were as opposite as light and darkness. Sumner was the embodiment of opposition to slave ry, and the other was the candidate of the party for President that adopted the noto rious twelfth section of the Philadelphia Pistform. Peace to their ashes. egt. In the House of Representatives, on Thursday last, Capt. Buntlinell offered the following resolutions, which were twice read and agreed to : WHEREAS, This house has heard with profound sorrow the intelligence of the death of two of the sountry's purest citizens, men alike distinguished for the probity and excellence of their private lives and the exalted patriotism of their public career, in which as actors they figured during an epoch the most eventful and changeful in the na tion's history : therefore. Resolved, That in the death of Milliard Fill more, ex-President of the United States ' and of Charles Sumner, a Senator of the United States, the country at large has met with a national ca lamity and statesmanship and society hare lost two of their brightest ornaments. Resolved, That in respect to the memory of the great dead this house do now adjourn until to morrow morning nt ten o'clock. vs. The first number of a small sheet, 23 by 21 inches, entitled The Local News, Hugh Lindsay, editor and proprietor, ap peared last week. It is neatly printed and its make up is creditable. What bla in• duced Mr. Lindsay to embark in this ven ture we do not know, as it mustbe evident to any sane man that there is not roam in Huntingdon for another paper. There are already three papers here which have little else to live upon but "The Local News," and we consider it a very severe reflection upon us, and the others engaged in the business, to intimate that we do not pay sufficient attention "to that kind of matter." We think this very ungenerous. The man who will take a paper at two cents a week will and can pay four cents for five times or six the amount of matter. Mr. Lindsay has a perfect right to start as many papers as he has a mind to, but it seems to us he could make a better investment. We always speak candidly of such ventures and our opinion is usually vindicated. Our New York Letter.

THE TENEMENT HOUSEEI. One half of the million of people who make up this great Babel live in what are called tenement houses. You, oh dweller in the vil lage or the country, have an idea that a house is a structure of seven to twelve rooms, iu the centre of a pretty piece of ground, with flow ers, fruit and such things about it, where a child may be born and grow up with decent, healthful surroundings. That is not what 500,000 people in this city know as a house. To them a house means a vast building, four or five stories high, divided into small rooms, the rooms ten feet square, the bed rooms clos ets. Light, the cheapest of all things, is in these places a luxury, and ventilation is im possible. Often twenty, thirty, and forty fam ilies are crowded into a single building, and instances have been known where as many as 150 apartments have been crowded together ander one roof, each of them inhabited by a family of from three to five persons. Huddled together in these communities of crime and filth, a large part of the City's population live and die here, without ever having known the true significance of the word "home." The extent to which the overcrowding sys tem of tenement houses is carried in New York, exceeds that of any other Christian city in the world. A comparative exhibit of the POPULATION TO THE SQUARE ACRE, among our poor people, shows that in the Eleventh Ward it is 328; in the Thirteenth Ward, 311 ; in the Fourteenth Ward, 275, and in the Seventeenth Ward, 280—these being the four most densely thronged districts in New York. London has but one district that approaches this exhibit. The population of the Strand numbers 307 to the square acre, and the next most crowded area is East Lon don, with 260. Very frequently there is no pretence of separating families by thin partition walls.— Men find themselves unable to pay the recf of a whole room, and so two or more families are huddled into a single room, the partition being a mark on the Boor. And iu these places children are born—families sleep together, male and female. Is it any wonder that the jails and prisons are crowded? is it any won der that to keep common order an army of po licemen is required? THE OTHER EXTREME. And while 500,000 people thus herd to gether like cattle, living on the refuse of the markets, and thankful if they get even that, it is a sharp commentary on our boasted civili zation to read in a "society" paper that Mrs. Wm. B. Astor, at a recent ball, wore dia monds to the amount of one million dollars, and laces to the amount of one hundred thous and more. The husband of this woman is worth not less than $60,000,000, a large share of his property being in these very tenement houses, I have been describing. lie has nev er given a dollar in charity—he never repairs a house, or ever heeds a coil for air, light or cleanliness from the miserable wretches who inhabit them. The only interest he ever takes in these people is to see that they pay their rent every month in advance ' and to see ex actly how much money in the shape of rent can be screwed out of them. His father, the original Astor, John Jacob, was not quite so bad as his son. The old man died worth $30,- 000,000. In his last illness he woke up one morning and asked of his secretary : “lir.—has Mrs. Wilson paid her month's rent r _ _ 6 'l believe not," said the Secretary. 66 1 t is $l2. You will see to it at once.— She is sick, and if yon put it off she may not pay It." Twice or three times a day would this wretched uld man ask if that $l2 had been paid, until, to quiet him, the Secretary took $l2 from his pocket and gave it to him, saying that she paid it. " , That's right—that's right," chuckled the old miser as his fingers closed on the money ; "and now, Mr. —, turn her out. She is sick gnd wun't be able to pay. Get the three days' she owes, if you can ; if not, we had better lose it than to let it grow." Like sire, like son. Wm. B. is even snore greedy and grasping than his father. I should hate to take his money with his disposition. If the Asters meet their tenants in the next world there will be a lively time. But there is another side to New York life. There are GENEROUS LEN For instance, young James Gordon Bennett gave $30,000 to be used up in soup this win ter. Of course, those who don't like Bennett soy lie does it as an advertisement, but the hungry wretches who arc saved from starva tion by his gift won't care a straw what he does for it. They will pray, as I do, thatincre men would try this "advertising dodge."— Then the Howard Committee fitted up• the basement of a building in Howard street, where everybody can be fed without money and without price. They serve a substantial supper of good soup, bread and coffee. This costs, at the wholesale prices, three and oue half cents for each man. Breakfast is about the same, varied occasionally with beef, fish, pork and beans, or something of the kind.— Last month, 9,168 were fed at this place. The applicants are a superior set of men.— They are mostly mechanics. Of 30 names re corded, the United States was represented by 11; Ireland by 7 ; Germany by 7 ; Englund by 4 ; Scotland and France by 1 each. Three were clerks, three machinists, and three la borers. The others were engineers, book agents, firemen on steamers, carpenters, &c., kc. FEMININE INTEMPELANCE, intemperance is by no means confined to the men of New York. Indeed the vice is wide-spread, and is not limited by sex. The wives and daughters of the "best families" are addicted to the maddening bowl, and are as much the slaves of appetite as their father and brothers. They get it first by the use of wine in the social circle—then the exhaustion resulting front late hours, and excitement calls for stimulants as a sustainer. And once fast ened there is au end. Such habits grow on women faster than on men, and are more err tain to stay. Thousands of fashionable wo men—tenders in society—have in their rooms the brandy-bottle, every day requiring more sad more to satisfy- the cravings of an alcho holixed system. Does it not show? Not at first, or indeed for a long time. The art of the enameler hides those ugly red blotches.— But finally it gets beyond the enameler's art— the lady in a debauch makes an exhibition of herself—the secret is out, and with no re straint she devotes herself entirely to it •and goes down to the pit. It is time that a reform was inaugurated in the homes of the wealthy. There is but little use of talking reform or temperance on long as wine is set beforeevery guest by the lady of the house, and stronger drinks by the bead thereof. TIIE LAST SWINDLE which the authorities are after, is the clinnsi estyet unearthed, but as clumsy as it is thous ands upon thousands have bitten at it and been bitten by it. "The Geneva Watch C 0.," with "J. Wright & Co., COD Eroadway" as agents, have flooded the country with adver tisements offering to send superb gold watches for—think of it---S4! The metal of which its watches are said to be made is "almonia gold," which, from its description. appears to be on the whole far better than the genuine article. The circular states that this wonder ful composition was "invented by Thomas T. Efendolph, one of the largest stockholders iu the Geneva Watch Co." Mr. Efendolph, who is a wonderful alchemist, worked for years endeavoring to make a dis covery that would take the place of gold, and stand the tests of acids, and always retain its brilliancy, and wear the same as virgin gold itself. In May, 1871, his years of laborious tail were rewarded by the discovery of this material, which even expert jewellers cannot detect. Of course watches so cheap and so good were in demand, and I. Wright & Co. received a shower of letters containing $4 each, which was pocketed. There is one way to stop this swindling. The laws which govern the administration of the Postoffice prohibit the delivery of letters to fictitious addresses where fraud is intended. If the first victim would, with a contrite heart, inform the Postmaster of New York, all the rest would be saved, for every letter would be returned to the sender. As high as 10,000 letters to swindlers are received at this office every month, none of them containing less than $l.OO. TICE POLITICAL POT is boiling. Even at this early day the Dem ocracy are marshalling their forces and get ting ready for the next election. This "get ting ready" means the distribution of the spoils, the killing of the lame ducks and ar ranging the labor of the sound ones. For be it known there is no gratitude among these men. The leaders of Tammany pay down for their labor. If a man has influence he can get of them just what influence is worth—if he uses it without getting his pay, it is his fault. No matter what he has done in the past-- no matter how useful he was lastyear— unless he has control of something and some body this year, he is killed .d carted out. I know one striker who has af forded me considerable instruction as well as amusement. Last year he held a clerkship in the Court House, a sinecure in the City Hall, and something or other in another depart ment, giving him an income of about $7,000 per annum. This Spring he was ousted from all these. "Why ?" I asked. "Well, you see," he answered. "I had fifty of the boys that made their headquarters at a saloon hich my brother in law run. Well, this Spring, Jim, that's my brother in-law, knock ed one of the boys on the head with a bottle, and was arrested, and the place was broken up, and he escaped Sing-Sing by the skin of his teeth, and had to go West, Another man took the place sad gobbled the boys, and of course I was permitted to git. Ile holds all these places. But I ain't going lay still, so sir. I've got a man to go in with me, and Pm going to start right across the street, and I'll have em all back, and then they can't help themselves. I'll have my places this fall, sure." _ _ _ No one seems to think of making head against Tammany—everybody seeks tc concil iate it. My friend will get his place. The moment he gets control of fifty votes, he is certain of it, for that fifty, by skillful repeat ing, means two hundred and fifty on election, day. • This is a Republican form of government, I believe. Pierno. Letter from Harrisburg lIARIUSBURG, MARCH 140, 1874, Last Saturday morning an attempt was made to dispense with Saturday's sessions in the House. After a protracted debate which lasted nearly the wholt morning, the resolution was defeated, but the friends of adjournment yes terday succeeded in passing a resolution of adjournment, notwithstanding the fact that last week a point of order MIR raised and do• cided well taken, that it requires C 7 members of the House to effect such a change in the rules. In the future there will be no Saturday sessions, either io the Senate or the House. Among the legislation of interest, during the past week, we note the following : THE SENATE has spent the greater portion of the week in the consideration of the Corporation bill, which passed that body finally yesterday morning. On Wednesday, the joint Committee appointed to designate what changes are necessary in the Capitol buildings, to accommodate the in creased membership, reported in the Senate, through Sir. Buten, chairman. The plan of this Committee is to make no further altera tion in the Senate Chamber than to replace the present desks by desks similar to those now in use in Congress. It is proposed by the Committee to alter the Hall of the linear by building an addition in the rear of the Speak er's stand, erecting reporters' galleries above the stand, and replacing the present desks by desks similar to those used in Congress. The eost of this alteration is not to exceed $25,000. On Wednesday night, the representatives of a number of railroad companies in the State appeared before the Finance Committee of the Senate, to express their views upon the Cor poration tax-bill, which is at present pending in the Legislature. The question was dis cussed by Frank B. Gowen, esq., president of the Philadelphia end Reading railroad; W. J. Howard, esq., solicitor of the Pennsylvania railroad ; E. W. Clarke, esq., president of the Lehigh and Susquehanna railroad, and Isaac Hinckley, president of the Philadelphia, Wil mington and Baltimore railroad. These gen tlemen occupied fully two hours in expressing their views as to what a just taxation on rail roads is. A cumber of questions were pro pounded to them by different members of the committee. TttE 110USZ, On Wednesday, Mr. Webb, from the special committee, to which was referred the bill pro viding foe the payment of the papers which advertised the New Conatitt.tion, reported the following as the basis of payment : Ist. That all duly authorized bills under the sum of $5OO be paid as rendered. 2nd. That to the publishers of all weekly papers not included in the above list, who published the same with authority, these be paid the sum of $5OO. 3d. That to th• publishers of all daily pa. pers whose circulation does not exceed 20, 000 copies daily the sum of $6OO be paid with the further sum of $2OO, wherever such pub lication was made in the weekly editions of their respective papers and to the publishers of all daily papers, whose circulation exceeds 20,000 copies daily there be paid the sun) $l,- 000. After various amendments the bill pass. ed second reading as follows : Be ifenact, That it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Commonwealth to prescribe a form for all lawful accounts against the State for adver tising the New Constitution and the verifi •a tion of the same. The said bills verifies: as aforesaid, shall be presented to the Auditor General and filed in his office, and the same shall be settled by the Secretary of the Com monwealth, the Auditor General and the State Treasurer, but no more than the regular rate for advertising, at the time of such publication shall be allowed in any case, nor shall pay ment he made to any paper for more than four insertions. The maximum to be paid daily pa pers shall be $l2OO, and weekly papers SCOO. Provided, That id all cases where bills have been rendered, no greater amount shall be paid than that claimed. On Wednesday night representatives of the Anti-Local Optionists met the Vice and Itn -morality committees of the Senate and House in the Rail of the House for the purpose of presenting arguments in favor of the repeal of the existing law. The Hall was crowed, the greater portion of the audience being ladies from the city. The meeting was addressed by James Lytle, esq., of Allegheny, Gen. Penny packer of Chester—a member of time order of Good Tempters—and Guy Flintne.n, esq., of Williamsport. These gentlemen did not ap-mt pear as advocates of intemperance, but simply showed what an:uttei failure the Local Option Law had proved in districts where it prevails, and urged its repeal, and the enactment at the bands of the Legislature of a salutary li cense law, and one that -would prove more practicable, than any now in existence. When the committee rose, a tall, lank individual, with a ministerial air walked in front of the Speaker's desk, and requested all who were in favor of Local Option to rise and join him in singing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," his request was heartily complied with. As the audience was dispersing, and elderly woman,—we cannot call her lady—whose feel ing had been worked up by "antecedent pro ceedings" to perfect talking pitch began hold lug forth in the rear of the Hall, upou, as near as we were able to hear the evils of intern. perfume, but when, jeered at by some of the crowd, she indulged in au intemperance of language, more shocking and disgusting, than any intemperance of drink which we ever witnessed. Of such as she is we are constraiu od to believe arc the ninjdrity of those women who indulge in crusading visits to rum sellers shops, for no true woman knowing how utter ly useless such conduct is would indulge in it. Five important bills were read, in place in • the House thms week. One providing that the resignation of a member of either branch of the Legislature shall not be conclusive unless the same shall have been previously acted upon by the House of which he is a member, and accepted by a vote of two-thirds of allelected. Another providing that any person who di rectly or indirectly attempts to corrupt mem bers of the Legislature, city, county or borough officers, shall be punished on conviction there of, with a fine of not lees than $l,OOO, and undergo au imprisonment not exceeding two years. Both Houses have adjourned until next Tuesday. News and Notes from Washington Deathof Charles Sumner—A theatMan Gone— Els Last Hours—Funeral Ceremonies—Re moval of the Remains to Boston. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 16, 1574. SUDDEN DEATH OP 1100. MIMES SUMNER, The distinguished Massachusetts Senator is dead. In bis last speech a few days aco he defeat ed the granting of en appropriation from the public Treasury for the Centennial Celebration, and the effort, it is believed, seas the immediate cause of his death. Oa Tuesday Mr. Sumner was in his seat ns usu .!. Attest two o'clock ho was seized with pains in the rca , ora of his heart, and .leaving his seat, re tired to the rear of the Hall and reclined on a sofa. lit rallied in a short titan and moved round among the Senators, conversing with a number of them. Mr. Boutwell presented the resolutions, passed a few days ago, iu the Massachusetts leg islature, which were read, rescinding the resolu lotion of censure upon Mr. Sumner for his effort in the last congress to canoe the Union victories to be expurge , l from the array register and the battle flags. Betweer. d and fi Mr. Sum ner left the Senate Chamber, and went directly to his own residence, adjoining the Arlington Hotel., He ate a hearty dinner and had Ben Perley Poor and another intimate friend for guests. Later in the evening Ire was seized again with pains, and a physician was called, who pronounced his cam critical, and advised a medical consultation. Sur geon General Barnes and two other physicians were called, who on examination decided that he was laboring under an attack of angina pectoris, a recurrence of his former disease his recovery from whielr was very doubtful. The night was passed and the morning found him no better ; the physicians in fact pronounced his case hope less and his decease was a question of only a few hours time at most. He requested that Col. John W. Forney and other personal friends in Phila delphia, New York and Boston might be notified of his condition by telegraph, and that Dr. Brown &guard, his physiciaenemight be sent for, who was then in New York city. His requests wire promptly complied with. Ile grew worse, and lain ebbing lice :was anxiously watched by his warm . friends who surrounded hisbedside, about 2o'eloek he expressed a desire to be lifted up, and in a whisper said, “Every bone is my body is tired," subsequently once or twice he whispered "Oh,how weary," at 2:17 o'clock, he died, without as strug gle. and apparently without pain. The Senate, aware of his condition, convened at ' 12, noon; as usual; but after prayer by Chaplain Sunderland, mainly in reference to the dying Sm arter, and the reading of the journal, an adjourn ment was moved r.nd adopted. to the blouse a deep solemnity prevailed, and many a sad countenance was seen, as members conversed with each other on the hopeless condi tion of the distinguished Senator. Little busi ness was done, and an early adjournment took place. Mr. Sumner was G.l years of age. Ile had three brothers and one sister, the latter of whom only is now living. She resides in California. Ile be queathed his statuary and works of art to the Corcoran Art Gallery. The body was embalmed, and a east of the face was taken by a son of the late Hiram Powers, the sculptor. On Friday the funeral ceremonies were held in the Senate chamber, which was filled on the floor and in the galleries. The services were conducted by the Chaplain, assisted by Dr. Butler, Chap lain of the House. TIIE RELIGIOUS EXERCISES. At 25 minutes of 1 o'clock the religious exercises commenced—Rev. Dr. Butler reading a portion of the 15th chapter of Ist Corinthians, commencing "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ we shall all be made alive," and closing "0 death, where is thy sting; 0 grave, where is thy victory:" The Rev. Doctor followed with an earnest incitation to the throne of grace, closing with the Lord's prayer. The Rev. Dr. Sunderland then read from the 39th and 90th Psalms, commenting with the 4th verse of the former, beginning "Lord, make me know mine end and the measure of my days what it is, that I may know how frail I am." lie then read the 00th Psalm, beginning "Lord, thou host been our dwelling place in all generations," and closing, "And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us; and establi-h thou the work of our hands upon ue ; yea, the work of our bands, es tablish thou it." The chaplain of the Senate, the Bev. Dr. Sun derland, then invoked the throne of divine grace in a long prayer. closingas follows : “And now, oh, Lord, our God. be graciously , pleased to go with those who shall bear away for ever from this place the body of our lamented friend. (live them eafe conduct in their sad jour ney; and we beseech Thee, in Thy kind providence. let all arrangements for his obsequies be fittingly made among that noble but sow stricken people who await the arrival of the funeral train by the Old Cradle of Liberty. 0, God, the Uod of our fathers, bless this nation and all the nations; bless us and all men together; and when we come to die. open Thou for ns the portals of eternity, and crown every soul with a pure, blessed and glorius immortality. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen." The religious exorcises closed at three minutes to 1 o'clock, with thepronouneing of a benediction by Chaplain Sunderland. - The President pro tem, Mr. Carpenter, then arose and said "And now the Senate of the United States intrusts the remains of Charles Sumner to its Sergeant-at•arms and the com mittee appointed to convey them to his home—there to commit them, earth to ear to dust, in the rail of the It chusetts.

At the close of the services the body was carried to the hearse, and a procession farmed, in which were many of our distinguish,d teen, followed in the procession by about three hundred well-dressed and orderly colored mot.

C , March 11.—Sen. ator Sumner passed a quiet night under al subcutaneous injection of morphine. This morning he was sleeping under the effects of it without materiel . change. Surgeon General Barnes end Doctors Johnson and Lincoln were at that hour in consultation at the residence of the Senator. Yester day, in the Senate, he had a slight attack affecting the nerves of the heart, but when he - returned home he was sufficiently well to entertain two friends et dinner, at the close of which lie 711:1(13 allusion to the condition of his heart., and between nine and ten o'clock he was taken so sink as to require the attendance of a physician, and in an hour theaeafter he had a second at tack of his old disease—neuralgia of the heart Several of his nearest personal friends were sent for and remained with him during the night.. Senator Schurz, in leaving Mr. Sumner's room at half-puet twelve, took him by the , hand and asked, "do 'you know me ?" Mr. Sumner replied, "yes, but I cannot see you." At once Senator Sumner fell into an easy slumber, which encouraged seine of his friends to believe that he was some . 1 what better, but a consultation of physi cians held about that hour did not estab lish any reason for any such impression. At 12:45 Mr. Sumner was fast failing. In addition to the physicians, Senators Schurz and Representatives George F. Pierce and E. E. Hoar were with him. The parlors and halls of the mansion were filled with anxious friends. At one o'clock he was unconcions and growing cold. At half-past one he did not seem to suffer any pain, being under the influence of strong opiates, but his extremities were very cold, and the physicians did not think their natural warmth could be restored. Immense numbers of anxious visitors, in cluding a great many colored people, called at his residence. At ten minutes before three o'clodk the Senator ,expirel calmly and without a struggle During the last two hours of Mr. Sum ner's illness, his intellect seemed to be much clearer, and he was perfectly con scious to the last. This condition was doubtless the result of his recovery from the effects of the morphine which had been freely administered to him this morning. .His sufferings to the last seen* to be intense, and lie several times ex claimed, "I want quiet.. I am tired." He recognized friends who came into the room. One of the last to whom he spoke was ex-Attorney General Hoar, of Massa chusetts, to whom lie said, "Take care of my Civil Rights bill." About a quarter before three lie was attacked by a slight spasm, in which he died. Around his bed at the time, were ex-Attorney General Hoar, Dr. W. P. Johnson, of this city, I Major Perley Poore, George T. Downing and James Wormley. Other friends who had been with the dying Senator through out thr day, 'had left just previous, not anticipating that his death would be so soon. - • Senator Schurz and Hon. Mont gomery Blair entered the room just as lie breathed his last, but Mr. Sumner was then too near dissolution to recognize them. The only relative that Senator Sumner has, is a sister, wife of a physician in San Francisco, and to her the sad news was telegraphed immediately after his death. During the day time house was visited by a great number of members of both homes of Congress, other prominent citizens and hundreds of colored people, prominent among whom were Fred. Dou glass. The sidewalk in front el' Mr. Stun ner's residence was filled with anxious and saddened friends at • the time of his death, and when the sorrowful announcement was made, the grief of many, especially of the colored people, found vent in heartfelt ex. clateations of griefand weeping. Sergeant at-Arms French, of the Senate, was sent for immediately, and that official, in con nection with a committee, will have charge of the funeral arrangements. Though, of course, no time has yet been fixed there for, the funeral ceremonies will take place in the Senate Chamber. Mr. Sumner's age at the time of his death, was sixty three years, two months and five days. , Senator Sumner had been solicitous for his 'health for several days past, the earnest part he has taken in questions before the Senate having given him reason to pay special regard to it, and he remarked last night to a friend, some hours before be was attacked with the serious spasm which in a few hours culminated in his death, that - he wanted to talk to hid about his health; he was afraid be was working too hard. • Senator Sumner, at about two o'clock . yesterday afternoon, moved from his seat in the Senate Chamber to one beside Sen ator Sargent, and inquired of Mr. Sargent, who, like himself, bad taken a prominent , part in opposition to the Centennial bill, whether lie had received any anonymous insulting letters on the subject; adding that he (Sumner) had received a number of such letters, and packages of a more of fensive character, both through the mail and by express. Ile seemed considerably annoyed by these insults, and Mr. Sargent therefore turned the conversation to the resolutions of the Massachusetts Legisla ture, rescinding its censure of Mr. Sum ' ner, and he expressed himself greatly • pleased with this action. An hour or more afterwards, Mr. Sumner called Sea ator Ferry, of Connecticut, aside to a seat on a sofa in the Senate Chamber, and telked with him, as be had frequently ; done before, in regard to their respective states of ill-health, both resulting front al'. • fections of' the spinal cold. He told Mr. Ferry that he had suffered so much front , Isis heart the night previous that he had sent for his physician to obtain some re : lief by an injection of .morphine under the , skin. He asked Mr.• Ferry's opinion of hyperdermic injections, and from time to time complained of severe pain while they were talking. Einally, a little before four o'clock, Mr. Sumner took his hat and , overcoat and went home, his last words in the Senate Chamber having been uttered , in this conversation with Mr. Ferry. The , apparent vigor manifested by Mr. Sumner (billin his recent ,speeches on tiro Centennial excited considerable surprise. in view taf his long-continued feebleness of health he past year, and many of his friends ex pressed their apprehension that he was over-taxing his strength in these efforts. It is regarded as a remarkable and fortu nate co-iucidence that the resolution of the Massachusetts Legislature, rescinding its vote of censure upon Mr Sumner, should have been presented and read in the Sen ate hair° he left it on the last day of his presence in the Chamber as a member of that body. RECEPTION or TILE NEWS IN BOSTON • BOSTON, March 11.—Both branches of the Massachusetts Legislature adjourned until tomorrow on receiving the announce meat of Senator Sumner's death. nags on the State House and city buildings are displayed at half mast. An infirmal con ference was had by the Mayor and a num ber of Aldermen this afternoon relative to the course to be pursued by the city. It was thought that it would be meet and proper to deposit the remains in Fanelli' Hall, there to lie in state at least two days. Arrangements were made to call the two brunches of the city government together tomorrow, and the resolutions deploring the less of the great statesman should be framed. The life, character and public services of Senator Sumner form the sub ject of editorials in all the newspapers, and a deep feeling of sadness pervades the en tire community. A BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS Charles Stnner, the kall of Charles Pinknoy Sumner, a lawyer of Boston,. born in that cit February 6, 1811. He was carefully educated, and it/ the 'Boston latin he won the prizes for Illigilsh composition and Latin poe try, together with the Franklin medal. He graduated in ls,s at Cambridge, anti then entered the law school there, sere Ide mode of study was so thorough and careful that he east the highest prise from hie preceptors. While still Is student of law ho contributed articles to the American jurist, a quarterly journal, of which he soon became the editor. its 1834, lw was admitted to the barat Worchester awl then commenced practice so Boston. Haying been, appointed reporter to Ilse ,upreme Court, he was the com plier of three volumee, knows as "Sumner 's reports." For everal winters lie also delivered lectures to the law stu dents of Cambridge school, in the absence of Profs. Green leaf and Story. and lie also had charge of the Dane school. In IS:13 he published a new edition of Dutilapin "Treaties on the P r actice of the Courts et Admiralty in Civil Causes of Mali time Jurisdiction,' his new. comments and notes being very copious and so full of legal learning as to sill the highest praise from the profession. Ue visited Englawl iu 1e.37, and was received in the most flattering manner. Ile wes a close attendant on the debates in parliament and on the courts of Widen, and his learning, culture, fine presence, and polished manners and varied accomplishments made him a favorite in the most distinguished circles of English society. From London Mr. Sumner went to Paris, where he pur sued a similar course, attending the meetings of the cham ber of deputes, the lectures of the Sorbonne and other .schools. Ile wag the elitist of Gen. Can, then ittnerican minister in Paris, and the controversy between our govern. maul Mal Great Britain on the northeastern boundary lies ing then in progress, Mr. Stunner wrote at Gen;Cosie re quests n very aide defence ofllie American claim. He af terwards traveled all through Italy and Germany, every where received with distiction by the most eminent men, and staring his capacious mind with valuable knowledge. In 1840 Mr. Sumner returned to the United States and resumed the practice of Lis profession, though lie gave most of his time to writing and lecturing. In 1543 he wee appointed lecturer at the Cambridge law school. Dur ing the three following, yenta lie edited with, much ability Vesey's Reports, in twenty voimues. He was, in 1845, the Fourth of July orator fur the city of Boston, and Lis ora tion on that occasion sea considered a niaater.piee. It advocated universal peace among the nations, and as our i government was then on the eve of a near with Mexico, this may be regarded as Mr. Sumner's first entry into pa' I laical life. The opposition to the annexation of Texas as a slave state was increasing at the north, and a public meeting at Faneuil hall, on the 4.h of November, 3lr. Sumner deliv ered a powerful speech. From this time he was an action member of the Whig party ; but as a party it was not de cided in its opposition to the extension of slavery, and for this reason be joined the free soil party to 1843, when Martin Van Suren betione its nominee for the presidency. De had mods many speecbess, delivered many lectures and written much on the evil of slavery; and when, in 1810, President Fillmore signed the fugitive slave bill. ho pronounced on him n most bitter and powerful condom nation. lit the following April, Daniel Webstoi's seat in the Senate having become vacant through his acceptance of the state department under Fillmore, 3fr. Sumner, through a coalition of free toilers and democrats in Vie legislature, was elected United States Sensor from Mass sachusetts. tii;tbelat of December, 1851, he took hie seat in the Senate. lie was re-elected in 1551, in 1863 and in 1509. Upon his first entrance into the Senate Mr. Sumner be came an outspoken opponent ef the extension of slavery. In May, 1556, when the bill for the admission of Kansas as a State was under debate, he made one of the grandest oiaturical efforts, which, while it delighted and arrouned the ft lends of frelorn, alarmed and enraged the Erie - de of slavery. This led to the assault of Preston S. Brooks, committed on Thursday. May 2 - 2, two days after this great etwech had been finished. The effects of the assault upon Air. a ner was very Barlow.. lie was entirely disabled,. mentally and bodily, for a time. Having had the best trey meat to be found hi this country, withoui much benefit, he went to Ilerope in Menlo, 1857, for further treatment. lie returned in the autumn to take his neat in the Senate, to which he had been re-elected. But his condition was still precarious, and he suffered extremely and contionally. Again, in May, 185.,1e went to Europe and placed himself in the.hands of eminent surgeons in Perin, who subjected him to very severe and extraordinary treatment, but with much more satisfactory results than bail been expected. lle returned to America, ahnced completely restated, in the autumn of 1832, and he took his seat once more in the senate in the succedingwinter. When Lincoln was elected and the southern states pre pare! to secede Mr. Sumner distinguished himself by his opposit.on to all propositions of compromise or concession to the south, When secession took place. and when the war was begun after Lincoln's inauguration, he was one of the most strenuous supporter. of the administration, and early advocated emancipation of the slaves as a war measure as well as a measure of incline. In the legisla tion of congress defining the rights of colored people Mr. Sumner took a prominent and active part throughout the years cf the war and those immediately succediug it.
