The Washington correspondent of the Tri-
bune telegraphs to-day as follows: Mr.. Sumner
passed comfortable night, but in very bad
condition No one is admitted to see him, abb
soiute rcpose being necessary. 1t turns out
that the scalp was torn from the seuH for an
inch or two in width, beyond the cuts, which
was not observed when they were first sewn up.
The surface Of the Inflammation and sappura
ton is thus vesy extensive, and exhibits ma
lignaus and serious. Two physicians are in at
tendance. This morning, the greatest care has
been taken to keep the patient quiet Iii long
before he can get to the Senate. He will be
removed from the city as soon as his condition
will permit.
Mr.. Webb, of the Courier and Enquirer, tele
graphs last night: sir Sumner is better. By
charge has been produced, and the tendency is
arrested 1t may be necessary to lay open the
scalp in different places, but for the present the
crisis is past. Everything depends on the next
four days.
