Death of Mr.. Sumner.

Hon. Charles Sumner,U S.Sen-
ator from Massachusetts, died
of heart affection in Washing
ton City last Wednesday. lie
was sick only few hours. We
have never been an admircr of
Mr.. Sumner. His political
course has seldom met with our
approval. Yet we are truly sOr-
~ to hear OF his demise. The
State of Massachusetts is not
likely to choose a man who by
his previous life and abilities
would or could afford to be SO
independent. Whatever inju-
ries he may have done in the
past, we believe to some extent
he would have atoned for in the
future. He has died at a most
inauspicious time, both for the
country and his reputation
He was born in 1911, and was
therefore i'll his sixty-third year.
This is not aged, and, when we
consider the past in relation to
the longevity of our statesmen,
: he has almost fallen i'll his
prime. He was certainly in the
full vigor and maturity Of his
intellect.

While our preference is for
Col. a 5. Marks, our present
Chancellor in this judicial dis
,trict, yet, if Col. Holman shodl,l
be the nominee Of the Convcn-
tion,we will accord to him Il gen
erous support. We were init
mately associated with him in
days gone by-know him to be
courteous, modest, temperate,
noble, brave, Studious, intelIi-
gent and worthy in eUery res
pect for the position. He OIL
Col. Marks, either, would suit
us, and either would grace, if
not eLeUdte, the position Of Gov
ernor.
