&- W?II IIH'Wf'MM * tctesligallou of the Sumner Aisanlt/^ "Wasiiimqtox, May 20.?The House Committee of Investigation waited cn Mr. t|i Sumner to-day in discharge of their duty fa regarding the recent assault. lie was in Si bed, but give bis testimony, and was also p| cross-examined. He was unAblo to sit up w during the visit of the committee, but did si so A short time to-day. He is still very n< weak, ami his physicians counsel him uot at to move out of the house for a week. o< y The following is Mr. Sumner's statement w on oath: '*1 attended the Senate as usual te on Thursday, the 22d of May. After some ei formal business a messngo was receivod g< from the House of Repiesentativcs an noun- w cing the death of a member of that body w from Missouri. This was followed by a Tl brief tribute to the deceased from Mr. Gey- w r. Mo., when, according to usage and out ui of respect to the doceased, the Senate ad- of journed. Instead of leaving tlio chamber to with the real at the adjournment, I con tin- tr tied in my seat occupied with tny pen. in "While thus intent, in order to be in m season for the mail, which was soon to of close, I was approached by several persons su who desiied to consult with me, but I an fei swered them promptly and briefly, excusing m myself for the reason that I was much engaged. When the last of theso persons bt left toe, I drew my arm chair close to my ar I i . i ?i. _ i _ ll ue?K, ami, wiin hit legs uuocr uic iit?k, w continued writing. w **My attention at this time was so entiro A ly drawn from all other objects, that though of there must have been many persons in the co Senate, I saw nobody. While thus intent, ta willr iny head bent over my writing, I was Tl addressed by a person who approached the in front of iny desk, so entiicly unobserved ih that I was not aware of his presence until cl; I heard my name pronounced. ctl uAs I looked up, with my pen in my tit hand, I saw a tall man, whose countenance is was not familiar, standing diiecily over me. Tl and at the same moment I caught these pr words? 'I have read your speech twice an over carefully. It is a libel on South Caro- ee lina and Mr. Ilutler, who is a relative of Ei mine.' While these words wore still pas? ta ing from his lips, he commenced a sue- w< cession of blows w ith a heavy cane on my 111 bare head, by the first of which 1 was or stunned so as to lo?o sight. I no longer to saw my assailant, nor any other person or ar object in the room. ih 'What I diil afterwards was done almost tin unconsciously, acting under the instincts of A self-defence.

Others there wero at a dis- ha tance, looking on and offering no assistance, bo of whom 1 recognised only Mr. Douglas, of tit Illinois, Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, and, I ' in; thought, also iny assailant, standing l>o i sic tween them. 1 was helped fiom the floor no and conducted into the lohhy of the Senate, . an where I was placo.l noon a sofa. Of those j inl who h?*lj?ed lite there I have no recollection. | tit 44As 1 entered the lohhy I recognised Mr. su Blidell, of La., who retreated, but I recog- wi nised no one else until I felt a friendly ; lei grasp of the hand which seemed to come an from Mr. Campbell, of Ohio. I have a j im vague impression that Mr. Bright, Presi- ! bu dent of the Senate, spoke to me while I tit was on the floor of tho Senalo or in tho be lobby. I make this statement in answer is to the interrogatory of the committee, and ' ca offer it as presenting completely all my re- | eo collections of the assault and of tiio attend- ! bh mg circumstance*, whether immediately | ?? before or immediately after. ; vs "I desire to add that besides the word* 1 lb which I have given as uttered by my assail- in, Ant, I have an indistinct recollection of the words 'old man;' but these are so enveloped in the mists which ensued from the first blow that 1 am not sure whether tlicv ware : , tt * I 1st uttered or not. , On cross examination Mr, Sumner said j j j that ho was enliielv without arms of any kind, nnd Hint ho had no notice or warning ! ^ of uny kiud, direct or iudirect, of this asMM,t* . w in In answer to another question Mr Sumner replied: That what he had sa?d of Mr. Butler wna strictly responsive to Mr. But* (jj ler's speeches. .j( Later rrtost Kansas.?Too intelligence | co from Kansas is ?o confused and coutradic* | re tory that tliere i? no means of obtaining a ' |K clear account of the transaction*. j d?

There is a little' adroitness, at usual, ii >e policy enunciated l?y the Parisian con rence. Without accrediting the Unite* latoa with the truo ntul legitimate princi !e of reform ndvanced hy our government hicli was to declare that the neutral flu; lould cover neutral good* Hnd all article )t contraband of war, the conference ha lopted it; ami by way of fortifying tliei vn commercial interests in the event of i ar with the United States, they have ex tided the principle to tho flag of lajlliger its. Thus, if France and England wereti ) to war, the commerce of the two nation ould continue uninterrupted, not on I* ith other uatinus, hut between themselves lie commercial marine of one countn ould have access to the ports of the other ider, perhaps, n little more stringent lav seatcli. The effect of all this would la Confine the operations of war to the de* uetion of war property, such as ships am liniments of war; the destruction of hu n lite on laud and sea; the boiiibardtneii the towns and cities of an enemy; am iclt other mischief as could possibly be ef etc*! without actually suspending com ercial privileges and intercourse. Of course the United States is not bourn r any act of the Parisian conference. W* e as freo to adopt or reject the principle e have heretofoie avowed now ?? w? ere before the action of the conference nd when we discern the special pur post llio added policy, which exempt* ili? inmerco of belligerents, we may well !io-*? to before making any change in our own 10 fact i*, though it dues not seem to In nnediatelv recognised, that the action o! e Parisian conference, without a spocia tune abolishing piivateoring, absolutely Fects such a result. Leave commerce en ely frvo during a state of war. and wlial there to induce or reward piivnloering lere will l?e no attempt on I lie part ol ivaleer* to seek prizes in the captmo o i enemy'* vessel* of war. And it is very Haiti that in the event of a war betweei igland and thu United State* the advan ges arising from tho Parisian policy juld bo altogether on the j?a?t of the for er. It i* not, either in a time of peact war, to the interest of tho United State? expend its resources upon a largo navu niarneiiL The restoration of pence wnuM row out of cotuinission all tho added ival force war might bring into service ml if wo were governed bv the Parisian ilicy, war would requite us to c*tab!is! r the time being a naval power eqniva ut to that of our enemy, whoever it niighi i. In view of these facts it becomes ui maintain the self-same md? pcudeut am! dividual national policy vvo have In rcto re n*sotted. And at once ami resolutely determine our future principle of action til direct reference to the decisions of the ttisian conference. It i* worthy of notice that the general inciple which exempts the neutral ting tiu the exclusive jmlicy of war will only ve the effect to transfer the commerce ol lligereuls to tho hands of iieulinl*, and us in a great measure to abate privateer i;. The ships of belligerent* will ton con Uniblo extent change hands, really 01 initially. for the lime being, and trade d commcico keep up almost as lively an Lcicourse amidst the smoke of war a* in ne of peace. Thus our own theory will fficietitly conflict with our own interest lliotll accepting that of l'aiis.

In our ca*e nt \voul<! be suicidal, and what seems to in coiitlict with an ameliorative policy really essential to our best defence.

Oirrunu ; JMioving that avsry tu ptjrtr la the State has right to esprum M opinio* on the propriety or justis* of every oh}ret for which appropriations are made by the Oeserai Assembly of the State, I will, with year permission, express nsy o|>iiiion freely on the oppmpriat'ioM made for educational purpoere. To come to n correct understanding of the subject under consideration, it is ur ternary to rant to figures, ind though figure* arc hot small strokes of tins pen, is all money mutters they ccoatitala the most powerful arguments. Up to December, ISM. the annua) appropriation 'or the South Carolina College was about $29,000, wli ch, with an average sum of $3,000 for baild "ire, made the sum total of $25,000. The amoaat appropriated for all the poor children in the State was but $37,500, a eum totally iiubk-qnnt* for the ot)jrct, and that left the great majority of the poor without the advantages of education. Convinced that the liberality of the Bute was dspenssd with a partial hand, the Legislature of that year doubled the appropriation I or Free School*, giving the College the nsual amount; and thus it hue remained siuce. To he convinced, however, of the great inequality at ill sub?>s:iog between the rich and the poor, it in necessary only to kuow the number of each. . The number of students now at the South Carolina College, according to information, does not exceed one hundred and twenty, of whom doubtless I wane are from other Stubs, but desiring to be pee* ! fully fair, open. n.:d candid,.we will give the College her highest average amount for the past fonr I year-, which will be al-out two hundred; of which I not more than one hundred nnd seventy have been | of th State. Twenty five thousand dollars for one hundred nnd seventy students gives one hundred nnd forty seven (1147) dollars of the publio !tioii*-y paid unnually for eoeli student at the South j Carolina College. Alter the r>-ndcr shall hars i looked over the precedug ealcul itn.n, let h m follow me in uiuther. Aeeoiding to the Inst rt turns to the Legislature fr-m the various Boards of Free Sidiools. the number of children taught on the free school fund was (17,410) seventeen thousand four humita-d ami forty; winch, divided into the appropriation of I &ii4 ($74,400) gives four dollars and twenty-six ci nts. Thus do we nrrire at the stubboru fact that from the publio treasury there arc pa.d for tuition of the rich ami w?.althy at College $147 annually, and fiir the poor and needy $4 26 A slr.incer. oil rondmcr the (ttrramna stni-n,?ni wo ild reasonably inquire: '1 low much dot* th? Stnlc of South Carolina appropriate towards lb* education of the middle classes? And, in reply, h? is told not n cent, ?irl not n cent!! Astonishment is piotnred on his countenance, and well it may ; : r perhaps there is not another instance of snob 1 blind partial ty throughout our widespread eontcde, rn* y w ? are a military people in South Cnredij na, and have any number of officers, from the Gor! ernor down to the orderly sergeant, rind I will pro( potind the qtn-stion to any one of them, would it : be prdilic? would it be just? to disburse ths whole j of the military fund ujo i the rigiit and left urines I of our nrrny, and not give a single cent towards the suMcn-ince nnd support of tlie main body? There can be but one answer to this question, either in military or civii life?such a distinction is wrong in priiK-iplu and wrong in practice.
