Capitol Senator Sumner is lying in @ critica! conli- tho} his residence, ¢ of Vermont arenue and H street, and bis death is momentarily ex- pected. He appeared in" n the Senate yesterday, and, althoagh taking no part in the bosiness of the session. seemed in hie weet health. About 2 o'clock he was saizsd with a severe pain in the region of the heart, aad left his seat and reclined for a few moments oa @ sofa. At first he thought it pradent to go home, but at the suggestion of his warm personal friend, Hon. Sam. Hooper, who was in the S2a- ate chamber, he cencluded to remain there until after his colleague, Mr. Boat- well, had presented the resolutions of the legislature of Massachusetts rescinding the resolution of censure passed upon him on account of his action in the Senate relative to striking the names of anion victories during th» late war from the army register and all battle flags. Soon after he rallied, and the pain en- tirely ceased. He returned to bis resistence inor- dinary health, and last evening bat with bim as bie guests at dinner Hon. Henry L. Pierce, of Boston, and Major Ben. Perley Poore, the vet- eran correspondent of the Boston Journal. Tha Senator was in good spirits durmg dinner, and for some time after, but at about 9 o'clock was suddenly seized with pains in the region of the heart, and rappidiy growing worse, Dr. J. Ta- ber Johnson, one-of his physicians, was saa moped. oe On finding his condition so serious, Surgeon General Barnes and Doctors Lincoin and War P. Johnston were summoned sponded. that 1 and promptly re developed the f tering trom angin the inuseles of the A the Sen if, OF ac h le of years since,and that in a'l probability he would not recover.” De. J. Tab=r Jobneon, Hon. Henry L. Pierce. Hon. Samuel Major Ben. Periey Poore, and Mr. A. bis private secretary in former years, were with him all night administering fered acou to his wants. He euttered excruciating pains, snd byperdemic injectionsof morphins—his old | remedy—were administered as occasion re- quired Early this morning, the Senator being no bet- ter, and aware of his critical condition, dite ed that telegrams should be rent to Col. W. Forney and other of bis devoted friends in Phitadelpbia, Boston and New York, inform- ing them of bis serious illness, His wish in this- Tespect was -trictly complied with. It is sup- posed that Col. Forney lett on the noon train | from Philadelphia, and will arrive in thi¢tity this evening. A telegram was al<o sent to Dr Brown Sequard. who has been Mr. Sumner’s chief medical adviser for several years past, requesting bis attendance, and it ppred that he took the morning train from New York, and that he wiil arrive in Washington at 5. o'clock this evening. Senator Schurz, and lepresentatives Hoop. er, Judge Hoar and Pierce, and Major Puor: have been with the Senator ail day, and have been unremitting in their attentions.

He said nothing, however. beyond making known his Gate wants. At such times he would say, “Tam giving you a great deal of trouble,” «I am very sorry to trouble you so much,” c. His condition was about the same at a quarter to three o'clock, but was not euch as to in- i for his recovery phyricians. Surgeon Genera! Barnes remarked to-day thst miracles sometimes happen, but that the Senator had scarcely one chance in a thousand of recovering. Some of the Senato- s friends are anxiously looking tor tue arrival of Dr. Sequard, in the hope that he may be able todo ‘something to save the life of Mr. Sumner. He is said to resort to ex treme measures in extreme cases, and being thoroughly conversant with Mr. Sumner's old comptatnt it is thought there is a possibility that be may be able to relieve him. At 2x o'clock he remained in about the sams condition with no favorable indications. Pus- sessing a powerful frame and & good constitution his physicians think he may survive for som: hours to come. SEWATOR SCHURZ AT HIS BEDSIDT. There were a namber of members of C and other friends in Senator Sumner’s room this morning. Among the number was S-nator Schurz, who called about ten o'clock. When leaving at half past twelve he said to Mr. Sam- ner, “Do you know me’ “Yee,” was the reply, “but { cannot see you BIS LAST HOURS IN THE SENATE. About two o'clock yesterday Mr. Sumner called upon Senator Sargent, that is took a seat near him im the Senate. Both of these gentie- men have activeiy opposed the centennial bill, or at least Congress committing itself in any mapner, which would require a large appro- piistion of mores. He asked Mr. Sargent it he jad received any insulting letters regarding his ction, and informed bim that he, (Sumner,) had received threatening and insulting letters, both by mail and express, denouncing his course on the bill. It struck Senator Sargeat that he was not in his usual health, or he would net have allowed himself to become worried about such « tritling matter. A few minutes t three o'clock he took a seat near Mr. Ferry, of Conn, whe had an aitliction of the inal cord. some vhat similar to that of Mr. jumper, They had often talked about the malady, and both being attiicted, saggested various remedie swhich each had found afforded relief. He told Mr. Ferry that the night vre- vious, (Monday,) be felt badly, and had sevt for his physician to administer a hypedemic injection of morphis, and asked him what he thought of such treatment, adding that it generally him ease. He left the Senate between 4 and 5 o'clock, remarking that as suffering, and starttd home. Itis a si r fact, that the last day he will ever spend in the Senate, the resolution expunging those of censure voted by the Massachuswetr ieg- islature were presented by Mr. Boutwell and read in his presence. His desk this morning bad no papers upon it, and looked as if antici- pating a sick spell be had locked up all his = Saw pertaining to bis immediate public duties. hen the resolutions rescinding those of cen. sure were offered in the Senate, many thought that be would "peak upon the subjec:, but be remarked that he would make no as was enough for him to be present on the occa- The Sad News at the Capitol.

The Senate convened as usua! at noon, there | being a slim attendauce of atore, and was called to order by Mr. Carpenter, president pro fom. Chaplain Sunderland, in bis prayer, was much more earnest and impressive than asaal. and invoked the throne of divine grace as fol- lows “0, Lord, our God, Thou hast made 1 and brought us inte bemg, ant not we on s; and all our breath is in‘Thy hand.

A = immediately after the chaplain’s prayer, the Senate adjourned, on motion of Mr. Sherman, and at five minutes past noon a dispatch was received from Major Poore saying that the Senator was still alive. His extremities, how- ever, were cold, and he was rapidly sinking. SCENES ON THE “HOUSE SI¥E. Certain no event since the days of the war created as much excitement as did the startling announcement this morning that Charles Sumper was dead. About half-past eleven the news came, and from that time up to the begin- ning of the session the re as to his death were conflicting. On the one hand the state- ment was made positively that he had died at 11 9 o'clock, which was as positively denied, but it was admitted that he was hopelessly ili, nd ti hts dissolntion was but the question of nutes. Within the hall of the House . Dr. Butler, in his p iod to lift up the stricken servant and restore This was accepted 4s positive evidence that he had not died up t time. None of the Massachuretts delega- {though all were inthe Honse trior to convening, the others evidently havinz hastened to the death be:! of the Senator. A dispatch was received in the House from the residence of Mr. Sumner at twenty minutes past twelve o’clock, stating that hs was still alive, but that his extremities were getting cold and he could not live many minutes. A ms *age was received at the Clerk's desk in the House at thirteen minates of on+ as follows “1240 p.m. Mr. Sumner is sinking slowly. but there is no decided change.” Aten minutes past two ociock a dispitch ‘ated at the Treasury departm nt, addressed to Hon J. @. Blaine, was read in the Hoase, a+ follows “There is no material change in Mr. Sam ner's condition. His physicians think him sink- tug. I think he will survive your sessioa of to- day. E. R. Hoar. A Sketch of Mr. Suniuer's Life Mr. Sumner was bern in Boston January 6, isl.
