Last Hours Of Sumner.
Senator Summer had been solicitous for his
health for several days; the earnest part he has
taken in the questions before the Senate hay
ing given him reason to pay especial regard to
Il. About 9. p. NJ. he moved from his seat
In the Senate chamber 70 one beside Senator
Sargent, and inquired of Mr.. Sargent, Who like
himself, had taken prominent part in the OPP
position to the Centennial bill, whether he had
received any anonymous insulting letters On the
subject, adding that he (Sumner) had received
q number of such letters and packages OF
most offensive character, both through the mail
and by express. He seemed considerably an.
moved by these insults, and Mr.. Sargent there
fore turned the conversation to the resolutions
of the Massachusetts, Legislature in resembling
its censure Of Mr.. Sumner, and he expressed
himself greatly pleased with this action. An
hour or more afterward Mr.: Sumner called
Senator Ferry of Connecticut aside to seat on
sofa in the Senate chamber, and talked with
him, as he had frequently done before, In re-
gard to their respective states OF Ill health both
Ie told Mr.. Ferry that he had suffered 80
much from his heart the night previous that
he had sent for his physician to obtain some
relief by an injection of morphine under the
skin. He asked Mr.. Ferry's opinion Of such
hypodcrmic injections, and from time to time
complained Of severe pain while they were talk
ing Finally, . little before o'clock, Mr.. Sum-
per took his hat and overseat and went hene,
bis last words in the Senate Chamber having
been uttered in this conversation with Mr.. Fer
ry. The apparent vigor manifested by Mr..
Sumner in his recent speeches on the Centsn-
NAL bill excited considerable surprise, in view
of his long continued feebleness Of health last
year, and many of his friends expressed their
apprehensions that he was OVERRIDING his
strength in these efforts.
To those who have seen much OF Senator
Sumner during the last few months his sudden
death before Tuesday was quite startling He
had for some time been in usually good spirits,
and frequently remarked how well he felt Only
two DAYS before in conversation with friend, be
spoke of his remarkable cure" and attributed
it to the skilful treatment OF DR.. Brown-Sequard.
Tuesday morning he was at the Capitol, and in
his seat in the Senate chamber at the opening
of the session, and seemed in his usual health.
About 2. P. NJ, however, he was taken with
violent pain in the region Of the heart, and
was forced to leave his seat and reclinc on q
sofa. lie was anxious to 60 home, but his
friends persuaded him to remain and witness
the presentation by his colleague, Mr.. Bout
we'll of the resolutions of the Legislature OF
M.lssachusetts resembling the vote of censurs
passed upon him last winter on account OF his
action in the Senate relative TO striking the
names of Union victories during the late war
from the army register and all tattle hags.
Soon after the resolutions had been presented
he rallied and was entirely relieved from pain.
lie entertained two or three old friends at din.
ner in the evening and was quite animated and
iovial all the evening. About 8 O'Clock TO night
he was again Frustrated by an attack IN the
region of the heart and soon afterward IL be-
came evident to his attendants that there Was
imminent danger of fatal termination. One
of his physicians was called in, and soon after
ward others we're summoned. They decided
after examination that he was suffering from
a,.qina pectoris, He was in excruciating pain
all night but little relief being afforded by hyp-
endemic injections of morphine, the usual rem
edy. lie continued to sink next morning, al
though he yet retained consciousness. A NINA
Der of friends called to see him, and he recog-
nized them, and made an effort TO converse, but
was unable to say more than few words. he
requested kilograms to be sent to several OF his
old friends, informing them Of his precarious
condition, and also to have DR.. Brown-Sequard
summoned to his bedside from New York.
Shortly after Q p. NJ, to-day, he seemed to
rally little and was enaireg conscious up to
within q few moments Of demise, save when
under the influence Of anodynes. At ten min
utes to o'clock he expired. The last words
he spoke were, 81 want rest" lt
