Senator Matthew H. Carpenter died this morn- ing, at 10 o'clock, at his residence in this clty, 22 Connecticut avenue. His health had been falling for about two years past. Several times he bas been Gown with no expectation of bis recovery. A naturally strong constitution ena- bled him to rally from these several attacks, but be has been almost a wreck for the past six months. Though his death was caused directly bd) Bright's di-ease of the Kidneys, there was a general Mesolution of the vital energies. Yes- terday afternoon he had improved considerably, and tl wes expected Lhat he mightrally wo again ve able to get about. During the night, how- ever, he got worse, and it was known that he could not live. Last Friday he was out ta.his coTrlage, and called upon the President and at several of the departments.

A SKETCH OF HIS CARBER, Ton. Matthew H. nent In national ve years, DAT prior to bis entra vole life he was jecoghized a8 & man of marked ability, He was bor at Moretown, Vi., In 1324, and entered the United States Military Academy when nincte tars OF age With the idea of following the life of a soldier; but two years at West Polnt coa- Vinced nim tht he had uot chosen the proper Held for his abilities, and he then began tv study of Jaw under Rufus Choate, He such rapid progress In his studies that he was admitted to the bar in 145, and in Isas_he located in Wisconsin and en- tered upon the practice of his profession. He devoted himsel! energetically to the law and each year extended his fame and his practice. He won distincrion as an accomplished orator and thorough logiciay. In 1865 he appeared before ule USS. S: ae Court in the celeora- Q attracted the atten- pole country. His rb tribunal stamped him a3 a and gave bim a betore that bigh man Of unusual ability ational repuiation. In 169 he was ele U, S. Senator by the republicans of Wisconst sud he served his party and hts country so we that when bis term expired he was the choice of the republicans as his own successor. But the democrats were about that time (1875) try- ing the experiment of defeating reguiar repab- lican nominees through @ coalition with disap. pointed republicans. By a combination of this kind, a majority of which was democrats, Mr. Carpenter was defeated. But he lved long encugh to bear democrats generally express 4 regret that tney had not rather aided to returo him to the Senate than to defeat him, and When the next senatorial election in Wisconst. took place he bad the universal sympathy of the democracy. He was elected to the Senate in 1879 to succeed Mr. Howe, and one of the most uncompromising democrats in that body, when welcoming Mr. Carpenter back shook him cordially by both hands, and satd: ‘We did’at know you as well four years ago as we do now, else BO democrat wouid have preferred another republican over you.” During the four years he Was Out of the Senate Mr. Carpenter practiced law in Wasbington, and his nauonal reputation as a lawyer brought to his firm an extensive business. Mr. Carpenter has taken part in a uumber Of the important law cases of this coun- try. some of which make up a part of our na- Uonal history. He was one of the counsel tor Tilden before the electoral commission, and the 1ntimate knowledge of state ‘and national law he there displayed, won for him the plaudits of the bar generally. Senator Car- enter was not much of a politician. He was a man of broad and liberal mind, and when his Views Of a public question led him to differ With bis party assoctates, be had the courag to maintain bis b convictions. There 1s nu’ amember of the Senate, perhaps exceptt Senator Blaine, wno has more warm frieads ou all sides of the chamber than Mr. Carpsnter. Death oF Ex-Gov. H. D. Cooke henry D.

Messrs. Blackburn, Blount and Cannon were appointed as conferees on the part of the House on the post office appropriation Dill, The committecs were called, but only two htlls—both of them of a private nature—were reported; and then Mr. Cox demanded the reg- ular order—being the consideration of the apportionment bill, Mr. Burrows raised the question of consider- ation. | _ At first the republteans refused to vote, but upon the second roll call, they, at Mr. Cong sbggesiion, cast their votes In the negative. The result was yeas 144, nays 63; so the Hous? determined to proceed to the consideration of tbe apportionment bill. Mr. Hammond (Ga.J took the floor, contend- ing that the limitation placed by the various states upon ola was ot an abridgment ot ibe right to vote, but was only a regulation of the use of the franchise; and as long as It ope- rated equally, Congress should look upon It a3 an intelligent safe-guard over the ballot. Tha appointment of a committee, such as had been fuggested by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Crowley), to Inquire as tp those limt'a- tons, would disturb every community from Maire to Callfornia, It would awaken In the south a fear of a repetition of the wrongs of past administrations; 1t would disturb contl- dence, and it would paralyze business. In conclusion, he appealed for peace between the sections.
