SENATOR SUMNER.-The Washington cor
ator Wilson received on Tuesday morning let
tiers from Mr., Sumner, and his physicians, Dr.
Hayward and DR.. Brown Sequard from which
it appears that consultation of physicians
on the case of Senator Sumner, was held Nov.
10TH consisting of the two above named doc
tors and Professor Grousseau, of worldwide
reputation, and that the consultation resulted
in the verdict that it would be unreasonable
for the Senator to think of returning this win
ter to his duties that the fire treatment was
to be discontinued, and atdry cupping was
now to be commenced; and that he was to use
at the same time two powerful medicines with
view of reaching two bad symptoms in his
case that he was to go to Montpelier, in the
south of France, in order to be free from all ex-
element of society, &C., and that the douche
bath was to be used in connection with the
other remedies. DR.. Hayward says the SEN
ator is most decidedly better, that some Of his
worst symptoms have wholly disappeared, and
that the rest are essentially modified, and that
it is his belief that if he will follow the course
marked out by the decision of the consultors,
he will wholly recover his health. Dr. Brown
Sequard says that Notwithstanding the pa
TENTS strong and constantly expressed desire
to return, he feels it his duty to oppose him
self to such a course, as one that would be ex-
ceedingly detrimental.
Mr.. Sumner writes that he bows TO the de-
cision of his medical advisers with the great
est reluctance, but that the letters he has re-
ceived from his friends at home, and especial
ly one from Gen. Wilson, urging him to
remain abroad, if that course will cOnduce to
his recovery, has done much towards making
him give way to the orders of his medical adj
yisers. He states that by the time the letter
would be received, he would be at Mont
pelier, undergoing the treatment prescribed
He further writes, that he wishes to be sent for
in case that any emergency should arise from
which it would appear to his friends that his
vote towards the close of the session could in
fuence any important matter.

generally, have made much larger increase in
population than the Southern-mdeed, some of
the latter have stood still or refrigerated, while
there is not single State north of Mason and
DiXon's line but has added more or less to its
population within the last decade.
The consequence will be, that the prepon-
derance of the representation of the North in
the Next House of Representatives will be
still more overwhelming than at present, when
the ratio is nearly two to one. After defeating
a few more of the remaining doughfaces who
yet disgraced their free State constituencies in
Congress, an undoubted and permanent Repub-
lcan majority may easily be secured in that
body. Time works changes for good, in the
long run, both in politics and morals, and it re-
quires only time to do away, by national
means, with the last vestige of hunkerism in
this Republic.

A WITNESS STABBED IN CoURT.-At noon
to-day, as desperate fellow named Michael
Lynch, was on trial in the Municipal Court for
burglary, the principal evidence against him
came from an accomplice in the crime. As
this witness, named John Vance, left the stand
and was passing the prisoners dock, Lynch
suddenly drew knife upon him, cutting
through his check to the bone and making a
irighttul wound. DIR. Ainsworth dressed the
wound, which was not dangerous, though, had
1t been inflicted an inch farther back on
the neck, would have severed large artery,
and doubtless proved fatal The affair created
great sensation for few moments. Lynch

inaugurated by address from Judge Bullock

CoNNEcTIcUT.-The Republican State Com
mittee of Connecticut have issued call to
the freemen of Connecticut who are opposed
to the present national administration, to meet
Jan, 18th, for the nomination of State ticket
to be voted for on the 4th of April next The
terms of the call for the Convention are broad,
as they should be, and we trust will eventuate
in such a union of all the elements of the op-
position to the Buchanan Democracy in that
State, as will ensure not only triumph of the
State ticket nominated by them, but succeed
in sending an entire delegation on the right
side to the next Congress. The two Buchan-
an members who managed to slide into the
present Congress from Connecticut, through
the foolish divisions among the friends of free
dom, should have leave to retire, and thus
New England be enabled to present an entire
Republican front in the next Congress, in both
House and Senate.
