Death of Charles Sumner.
■v. .
H«n. Uburlos Sumner, U. S. Senator
fratu'MaasuehuscUS, died suddenly at his
roonis in Wukltiiigiou city lust Wednesday.
He appeared in his usual health the day
befuro tcisd -was iu hi» seta in the Senate,
but-toult scarcely nny part in tho prtmecd
iuga. Iu the evening after hu had retired
from thu Senate ha was suddenly seized
with sever« pains in the region of )he
heart which caused hia death atunily «ft
word.
Charles Sumner *as born • in Boston
Jauuary (>, 1811. Ilu received a liberal
education aud was graduated at Harvard
University iu J8u(t nt the age ui uiueicuu,
studied law ut thu Cambridge Law School
a«d Wit admitted tu the Bat tu' 1834. He
began liis political life inJ845diy dpjiquu
tiag the tnreataned.war with M.vicu and
the aunexatiun uf Texas, t»H the ground uf
Slavery In 1850, when Daniel Wehster
becatii« Seoretary uf Slate under President
Filmore, Mr. Sumner waa elected to : fall,
tha vacancy by a couiiiiqp of FrcuaoiUia
and Democrats whu united fur the purpose
uf breaking down «be Whig party. Hu lias
been coutiuued ia the Setiute since that
time. He began hia Senatorial career by
pronouncing a bitter denunciation aguinst
Pr«*id«iit Fil.uore for, hia lotion in regard
to the Fugitive- Slave Act. In e speech
in the debate bu tbe repeal of thu Missouri
Compreniise he made sunt« reflect ions on
the character ef tbe qged Senator Trout
South Caroliua, My- Butler, far wbieh he
raceivtd tbe futwons ciniug at (lie hands
»f Preston B. Brooks, of South Carolina,
a relative of Senator Butler, Tlii-. ,unjur
lifiabla,' though probably deserved, assault
ereated.a^praat sympathy for Sir, 8u
throughout his uative State, spd gave hint 1
a popularity, which otherwise he probably
would never hnve obtained. - He wus con
sidered • martyr tu the eau«e of negro
freedom, end at. the close uf his soitaturiAl
lorn Iw wnsahunst uanuimously re-elected
to the Uw-8. Sweater - - :
Mt' Sum Per was an avowed nbnlitiouist
from the beg'mning. His hatred uf live
South and slavery was so intense that to
aeeoniplieh the humiliation uf the first and
tbe abolitieta ol the second he paruiitted no
regard for the Constitution or laws tostnj
his freniied and deicrmitted efforts. Upon

responsibility nf tho blood shed, li'vCs lost

civil war bkttirecn the States.
Hating seen hi* eflorta against slavery,

an order fur tweuty-six kegs of beer from
two ttalmih keepers «4 Washingten Court
House. Fearing to send th« beer by rail,
as the trains urc closely watched, the firm
dispatched the beer by wagon, covered
with hay und straw. At eight o'clock on

driver ws« met by u number nf winneu
and fifteen nr twenty men, prinud with
stones, whn ordered him to stop, und
threatened him with death if lie proceed« »
further. The terrified driver did as he
was ordered, and tbo tuob then tried tn
set fire to the loud, but the steuw being
wet wouldn't burn,. They (lieu ordered
him to drive to the Subioa milroad sta
tion, where the .faecr was turned oyer to
thdVsti.in agent, after thu reveupestamps
-had been torn from the keg". The own-,

This, however, he refused to do, and the
