CHARLEs SUMNER.-The Boston Advertiser
makes the following statement in regard to the
health Of Senator Sumner
Mr.. Sumner has gained very much by hiss
travels and his general health is all that can be
desired. But we have been disappointed in learn
ing that the injuries which be originally received
still make themselves felt in most important
part Of his system. The medical authorities in
Europe and America, who have considered his
case. concur that with proper caution his COM
plete restoration is certain; but it will be the
work Of time, and inay be arrested by any prema-
tuTe exertion. The European authorities, among
whom are some Of the highest names of science,
advised against his present return to the excite
ments Of public action. and went SO far as to say
in a written OPINION which we have read, that he
did it at the peril Of life Mr.. Summers medi-
cal adviser in Boston, who has carefully consider
ed his case since his return, is unwilling that he
should take his seat in Congress at the present
session, except with the understanding that he
shall content himself with the simplest discharge
OF his duties, without any active participation in
the public business. And this opinion Of his
immediate odviser has the concurrence Of other
distinguished members Of the profession.
Mr.. Summer, we Understand, intends to be in
his seat at the opening Of Congress"

The Boston Herald says, in relation to the
car load of liquor sellers, who ere commit
ted to the county house in Ipswich, a short
time since
g In proportion as the county houses are
filled by infractors of the liquor law, the
alms-houses fill up. The men generally sim
gled out for prosecution are the poorest in
society, and their families have to become bur-
dens on towns during their incarceration"
The Herald reverses the truth-it is the
selling that fills the almshouses. The city of
Newburyport pays ten thousand dollars an
nually to the support of the paupers who are
made SO by intemperance. The dram shops
make paupers every year, every month, and
every week, grinding them out as a legiti-
mate business; and the keepers might as
well have their own families in the aims
houses, as to send Others. 1t is not true that
the poorest are singled out. We know one
convicted at the last term of court who ie
worth $25 200, at least, and some taxed for
more than that amount, have worn the regi-
mentals OF the county house at Ipswich.
The Herald has great sympathy for the fe-
male convicts
lone feature of the law is specially obnox-
ious-that is the imprisonment Of women
mothers of families. If we are not much
mistaken, we saw a woman, with her
four children, in durance in Plymouth coun-
ty House Of Correction, last winter, on q
charge Of liquor selling; and, we think, sew
eral other women, with portions of their fam
lilies were " it'll them, in the same prison.
The woman that will debase her nature by
making drunkaras of other womens hus-
bands, and other mothers sons, passes out of
the reach of such sympathy and as to her
children they are thousand times better off
in the rssson than in the grog- shop-better
off in the grave than in the grog- shop. A
dram selling woman is a moral monster, and
deserves double punishment. Neeo5aryport
