wAsuINoToN. February Ex-senator
Matt. II. Carpenter died at his residence
i'm Georgetown at $50 this morning.
His health hes been falling for about
two years past. Several times he has
been down. with no expectation of his
recovery. His naturally strong consti-
tuition enabled him to rally from these
several attacks, but ne Il as been almost
a wreck for the past six months. though
his death was casSed directly by
Brights disease OF the kidneys. There
was a general dissolution OF vital ener-
gies. Yesterday afternoon he had im-
proved considerably, and il was ex-
pscted that he might again be able To
get about. During the night, however,
he grew worse, and it was known he
could not live. Last Friday he was out
in his carriage, and called upon the
President and at several of the departs
ments. He went to bed the next day,
and never rose again.
The arrangements for the usual Cons
gressional houors in connection with tho
funeral are not yet decided on. The
funeral services will take place at the
Senator's late residence at half past two
o'clock on Sunday next. Tho remains
will DO deposited temporarily in the
vault in the Congressional cemetery, and
be conveyed to Wisconsin, accompanied
by committee of ii We Senators and tho

the present session OF Congress. The
committee to escort tass remains to Wis
consin will he named by the Vice Presi
dent TO morrow.

ture will be notified Of the death Of Sem

cess of the Legislature. A suggestion
has been made that the legislature ad-
iourR after indicating it's preference for

point successor. A question might arise
however, ss to the legslity of such ap
pointment aud the action by the Legisla-

Piles are frequently preceded by sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh

of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspi-

ing and effecting permanent cure where all
