Investigation of the Sumner Assault.
Washington', May *26.— The Jouse Committee
! °\ investigation waited on Mr. Sumner to-day in
i discharge of their duty regarding the recent as
i Bau lt. He was in bed* but gave his testimony,and
I was **l®° cross-examined. He was unable to sit
up during the visit of the committee, but did so a
j nhort time to-day. He is still very weak, and his
i physicians counsel him not to move out of the
i house for a week.
The following is Mr. Sumner's statement on
oath : “I attended the Senate as usual on Thurs
day, the 22d ot May. Alter some formal busiuess ■
j a message was received from the House of Hepre- •
sentatives announcing the death of a member j
of that bod v from Missouri. This was followed bv 1
( a brief tribute to the deceased from Mr. Gever of [
j when, according to usage and out of respect '
. to the deceased, the Senate adjourned. Instead of !
leaving the chamber with the rest at the adjourn- j
men; 1 continued in my seat occupied with mv i
i pen. r * j
bile thus intent, in order to be in season for!
the mail, v-hicii was soon to close, I was approach- i
1 b .v several persons who desired to consult with i
i me, but 1 answered them promptly aud briefly, I
: exeettstng myself for the reason that I was much i
! engaged. \\ non the lust of these persons left me, I
1 1 drew my arm chair close to my desk, and, with !
i m.v leg-> under the desk, continued writing.
“My attention at thi, time was so entirely drawn
: from all other objects that though there must have j
i been many persons in the Senate, I saw no body. |
While thus intent, with tny head bent over my j
writing, I was addressed by a person who ap- j
prnached the front of my desk, so entirely unob
served tin ; 1 w; » not aware of his presence tuift! '
I heard my name fironouueed. •
“As i looked up, with my pen in my hand, I
r! saw a tail man, whose countenance was not famil
‘ iat, standing directly over top, and at the same
j moment 1 caught these words: ‘ I have read your
spee- h twice over carefully, (t is a libc-l on South
I Carolina and Mr. Butler, who is a relative of mine.’ :
• W bile tiicoe words were still passing from his lips, I
■ he commenced a succession of blows with a heavy I
| cane on my bare head, by the first of which I was j
stunned so as io lose sight. 1 no longer saw mv I
» assailant, nor any other person or object in the i
' room.
j “ What 1 did afterwards was done almost un- j
consciously, acting under the instincts of se!f-de- !
| sense. With my head already bent down, I rose ;
j from mv seat wrenching up my desk, which was
secured to the Hoot, and then pressing forward I
while my assailant continued bis blows. 1 have j
i no other consciousness until T found mvself ten I
; feet forward iu front of my desk lying on*the floor !
of the Senate, with my bleeding ’head supported !
j on the knee of a gentleman whom I soon recog
nized, by voice and manner, as Mr. Morgan, of
j New York.
“ Other person* there were about me, offering j
friendly assistance, but 1 did not recognize unv of j
| them. Others there were til a distance, looking ]
on and offering no assistance, of v/liom I recog- j
ui/fid only Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, Mr. Toombs, of
. Georgia, and, 1 thought, also, my assailant, stand
■ Dig between them. 1 wa* helped from the floor
md conducted into the lobby of the .Senate, where
i1 '■ placed upon a sofa. Os those wlio helped me
tlieio I bate no recollection.
As I entered the lobby 1 recognized Mr. Sli
. dell, of Lu., who u treated, but 1 recognized no one
j else until I felt a friendly grasp of the bond which
| seemed to rome from Mr. Campbell, of Ohio. 1 !
have a vague impression that Mr. Bright, Pre«i- '•
■ dent of the Senate, spok*- to me while 1 was on the j
■ floor of the Senate or in the lobby. I make this I
| statement in answer lo the intet rogatory of the !
| committee, and offer it as presenting completely !
1 all my recollections of the r. sault and of the at- '
; tending circumstancrs, whether immediately be- j
fore or immediately after.
: ‘ 1 desire to ad'i that besides the words which 1 <
nave given as uttered by my assailant, I have an j
l indistinct recollection of the"words ‘old man;’ but j
these ate so enveloped in the mists which ensued '
trout the first blow that 1 am not sure whethei j
they were utttired or not."
On iross-ev 'ininfttiou, Mr. Humtter said that he
was entir> iv without arms of any kind, and that
| he had no notice or warning of unv kind, direct or i
indirect of this assault.
In answer to another question Mr. .-tiunuer re
> plied: That ’bat he had said os Mr. Butler v * j
strictly responsive to Mr. Butler's speeches.

■ Had Mr. Brook given the Black Republican j
oar. on? ! ttndr—l thousand dollars in cash to elec
• ior. ■ i with, he would not have done them so great ;
■ i favor a* by flogging Mr. Sumner. That mdtvid- 1
I ual was nothing more tha i a great speaker, a sort i
of off-hand advocate, whom they looked upon us a
i very useful member ot then party. Now lie is a
martyr. How many vole- they will make by the i
oper (ion we know.not —the effort, however, toturn j
the flogging to good account will not lie wanting; '
vet we have scarcely seen a man who has road
Suin' r’s spiv eh th t do; s not say he vns served

“ V man mat say what he pleases," argues the ]
non-combatant, "but if be uses harsh and unjnsti

.-.it' and child) ‘-a, denouncing om- as a harlot and
the ••(tiers as bastards. What could Mr. Sumner i
do? Leave it t»> the rabble to put him down?
No, iudceu: but if he had the spirii and courage of . ]
ami!:., he would go to tbr fellow i.tul “Sir,

The Attack <»ti Sumner.
Tie.: Aihti i ii.t ol this morning comes out fitri- '
ottslv upon Col. Brooks and the South Carolina

amor.a its Abolition friends, by representing this
j as a premeditated attack of the South. The Au**r
-ays that Mr. Brooks should bo '‘condemned
vigorously, by men of all parties, and of every
section of the country." Sve wonder if it ever
occurred o the .-b.eriV.a that the base scurrility,
r trea- -r ar.d malignity <*l Charles Stunner should
bo condemned as the cause of the act of which it
complains so loudly. We think, and hesitate not
to exptess tin opinion, that M:. Sumner most jich
„ p deserved the etiaslisement he received, and that
it all such malignant poltroons and incendiaries
t were thus dealt with, i* would be better f-r the

The steamer “Keystone State” arrived here
yesterday, about 12 o’clock. Her bows were verv
j tttich injured, her cutwater having been carried
; atvay and planking ripped off down to the water’s
edge by a collision with the barque Cavalier, from

I seamen of the barque got on board the steamer

From Washington.
Washington, May 29.—The Senate to-day passed j
the House bills appropriating lauds in Alabama i
and Louisiana for railroad purposes.
The President has communicated his message to
i Congress informing that body of the dismissal of i
Mr. Crampton and the three Consols.
| The House to-day made the bill proposing to j
admit Kansas into the Union, with the Topeka !
Constitution, the special consideration of the gr>th
; June.
Si. Loris, May 27.—Advices from Salt X.ake !
dated die 26th of March, state that the convention
was in session and that the committee had unani- !
niously reported a Constitution for the .State of
Deseret.
New A oks, May 28. —Flour was unsettled at
trom £0.31 a per bbl. for Ohio. Corn was
quoted at .M'Lj cents per bushel. Freights were
drooping.
Washington, May ‘Jo. —Mr. Crampton and the
Consuls were dismissed to-day. A message will
be sent to Congress to-morrow explaining the
grounds of Mr. Cramp ton’s dismissal, and another
in relation to Central American affairs, hut mot e j
particularly us to Croat Britain's proposition to,
arbitrate. It. is understood that the Executive is j
willing to arbitrr.'o any question, political or geo- ,
graphical, arising under the treaty, but declines
the construction generally of the terms of arbitra
tion.
The Haunted Moose.
A friend of ours, says the Albany Tribum, Bob
H., during the late cold term, thought he would
■ .go into Hamilton and have a moose hunt. He left
the city, in company with six other gentlemen, one
day during last winter. After a ride of about
1 twenty-four hours, they reached the borders of tho
great wilderness. Having put up their horses
and sleigh at the last tavern, they started out for a
weak s sjiort in the woods. Tho second dav in
the wilderness, our friends and party started a
moose of first class proportions. They sighted
him about noon, and kept on his h ack till about 3
| o'clock, P. M., when the party informed Bob that
they w ere completely tired out, and that they in
tended to take the hack track fur the shout v and
have dinner.
Our friend said: "Very well, go hack if you
i please. As forme. I’ll have that moose or perish
in the attempt.'’ The party went back, and Bob
i went ahead. He kepi up the chast until nearly
! dusk, when he got. sufficiently near to give him
| condign. He was a glorious follow—like Frank
i Granger, ‘‘six foot high and well proportioned.”
i Hob was rejoiced ;vt bis success. But his pleasure
had ..no drawback; "what could he do with him ?"
Another source of uneasiness was the excessive
j cold, and the distance from the shanty some tight
I miles. While philosophising upon hi -, folly, night
came on, and as there whs no such thing as get
ting up a lire, he was at his wit’s end to keep from
: freezing. Butjit last he hit upon an expedient.
He cut open t/ae moose, took out its entrails, and
i crawled in and lay down. The animal heat kept
him as warm as "pepper aass,” till about midnight,
when he fell asleep. He awoke about sumo., mid
. thought he would crawl out and start back to his
1 friend--. There was one pull back to this arrange
ment, After the heat had left lbe moose, he bad
frozen as stiff ass post—an operation that subject
ed Bob to as rigid confinement as it he had been j
locked up iu a Bastile. Bob endeavored to cut his i
• way out with a knife, was it no good—he might an ]
well have underfill; n to whittle granite. Bob spent i
; a melancholy day, and finally worried nature into j
! a s and sleep.
While thus unconscious, a company of hunt, i - ■
I cat it- along, discovered the moose, fastened ,i rope j
to his logs, and set about dragging him out of tbs J
, woods, the movement awaked Bob, who though' i
jhe was getting haunted, and there?ui reinuieitced ,
; hallo ng out for help. Such a nok-.e coming from ;
j a dead moose, ('• cited the superstition of the hun- 1
| ter.., to such a deg; re that they abandoned their
I prize, and tied as if the ,i> ,i! was ifter them. As- ;
1 ter running about three miles tl.ty met Bob’* i
firi. ud>, who had been out all da trying to dig- .
: ' over hi- vehoreat-on! The hunters told th story !
| of the haunted moose, and the strange noise j
which came from his abdomen. Bob's friends
! smiled.
They requested the liunteis to return. In a halt ;
I hour the “ haunted moose” was reached. The j
friends hallooed “Bob!” Bob hallooed “here!" !
The friends said, "we arc going to cut; look out '
; for t!m axe." Bob said, "let drii e—l etter have u j
> damaged head than legs made of icicles.” Tlte !
adventure has made an impression on Robert. He !
; sa v the next on., ho sleeps inside a moose, he will
1 take good car' that It has “ leather hinges on its .
, back.”

for the chiefost among die many kindnesses and ,

confess to y-u, that notwithstanding your endorse

cim was any better thru the numerous specifies ,
and ‘certain cures’ which l had before tried upon
the strength of newspaper representations, and
which proved to be worse than useless, stimulating
the stomach for awhile, but to leave it in a worse
condition thau they found it. The 1 Remedy ’ has
in many car -> worked like a charm, and the direc
tions accompanying it, l consider, arc worth more
to the invalid from Dyspepsia, than ail the rules
; for health that were ever printed. It was with no
little. dilficuUy, owing to the inertia which for years
had paralyzed my energies, that 1 entered upon
the treatment: but before tin first week, what I
! i .nmenced w ith so much effort, I may say reluc
tance, became, as necessary enjoyment to me. In
short, notwithstanding my skepticism, I am now
; prepared fully to endorse all you have written me
regarding Bliss’ Dyspeptic Remedy, and -halt not

most acceptable to you, ot placing others in the

IT IN ar- itoucous idea that disease cannoTbe
cured except by taking large quantities of med'
’ tciio-s into the stomach, in a great many cases of
| which ranch injury is done, although the disease in
! pubtt be actually cured. The coats of the stomach*
| by continued use of nauseating mixtures, frequent
ly become so much disordered that the digestive i
Junction is seriously injured —the result of which S
I is dyspepsia, nervousness, cholics, alternate diar- ;
! rkcea and costiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc.,
etc. Would it not, therefore, be verv desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied externally
would excite the absorbents to increased action,
and thus carry off through this medium, the dele
; terious principle which is the direct anise of the
.disease? Surely every thinking man will admit
> that this would not only be the most pleasant, but
by far the safest means to effect the desired end.
| The almost superhuman cures performed by the
Arabian physic ians in the days of old, were mainly
i effected bv this course of treatment, and the ingre-
I dients of which 11. G. FARRELL'S CELEBRATED
ARABIAN LINIMENT is composed, are extracted
from rare plants peculiar to Arabia. This great
Liniment (which is now to be had of most respec
table druggists and merchants in every town in the
United States) is daily effecting cures which seem
ed beyond the power of medicine to control—con
sumptioii, bronchitis and liver complaints, in their
first stage-, nervous affections, indigestion, en-
I largement of the spleen, scrofulous tumors, goitre,
, etc., etc., are frequently cured, and "Bwys relieved
; by its use. It is unsurpassed a- an anodvne- re- j

duces that delightful tranquility so grateful te the j
nervous invalid. Sprains, bruises, wounds, burns, *
sore throat, chilblains, rheumatism, sun pain, etc., I
etc., are speedily cured by it, end for nee; !y all ail- i
ments in horses or cattle, requiring an external
application, it is an effectual remedy.
