SENATOR SUMNER AND GENERAL BuTLER.--
A Washington correspondent Of the Phila-
deiphia Press says:
:" II. fora moment, the solemn pail which
wraps the capitol is lifted, aud there is room
for single thought, aside from the one great
blow, it Is TO discuss Ben Buffers letter in
regard to Mr. Sumner to Ben Perley Poore
IT seems that Ben Butler is afraid somebody,
whilst mourning for Senator Sumner. Will
forget that he is alive and still able TO look
after Massachusetts, for why should Sumner
have all the honor Of dying and Ben Butler
left out and ignored? So he writes letter
and says, abe WOULD have stopped to pay his
respects to the dying senator, but pressing
duties at the Capitol prevented, besides, the
senator might not have recognized him." 1t
is the old. old story of the dead lion and the
living dog. This man insutted she country
when he sent that letter flashing over the
Associated Press wires"

Death Of an Excellent Lady.

Mrs Sarah T.. Moffctt, widow If The lac
George Motfett, With Il view Of improving
heI health and reinyigorating her system,
went to Florida last November; and al
though the climate in that delightful coun-
try was balmy and pleasant and seemed to
be adapted to her system for time, and
although she was fortunate enough TO be
situated in the IL ost favorable and pleas
ant condition, where kindness, comfort
and every attention were accessible. ac-
companied by her brother; it seems prov
idence has fixed bounds beyond ,rhich she
could not pass.
1t is painful to state that, on the 26th
inst, she dcrarted this life, far distant Fl ON
her immediate relations, but amidst all the
kindness her new friends could bestow
Previous TO her death, she expressed the
desire that, if she died there, her body
should be conveyed to her home, and i'll
tered in the family grave yard, beside her
husband. This request will be carried
out. Her sorrowtul brother will convey
it to her residence near New Market, Va
1t is expected to arrive Saturday next, and
the intermcnt is to take place on Sunday
She was an excellent lady in all the re-
lations OF life and her friends will deplore
the loss of one who had so deeply endear-
ed herself to them Fallen.
