WASHltfOTON, May 26.
The House committee of Investigation
waited on Mr. Summr to-day ill discharge
of their duty regarding the recent assault.?
Iff was in bed. but, jjnvo his testimony and
was also cross-exnhtined. ' Tie was finable to
sit up during the visit of the committee, but
? - ?
aiu so a siiorl limo to-<(ifj. He is sliU very
weak and lit* physicians counsel biui nut to
move out of the tlouse for a week.
The following is Mr. Sumner's statement
on oath :?"I attended the Seuate as usual
on Thursday the 22d of May. After some
format business a message was received from
the house of Representative*, announcing the
doath of a member of that body from Mis- *
aouri. This was followed by a brief tribute
to the deceased from Mr. Geyer, of Missouri,
when, according to usage and out of respect
to the deceased, the Senate adjourned. Instead
of leaving the Chamber with the rest
on the adjournment, 1 continued in tny seat,
occupied with my pen. While thus intent,
in order to bo in season for the mail, which
was soon to close, I was approached by several
persons, w ho desired to consult with me,
but I answered them promptly and briefly,
excusing myself, for the reason that I was
much engaged.
When the last of these persons left me, 1
drew my arm-chair close to my desk, and
i ?J? _i t_
mm iur mg-i iiauer uie oesK, continued
writing. My attention at this time was so
ontireiy drawn from ali other objects, that, ,
thougli'thcre must have been many persons in
the Senate, I saw no body. While thus intent,
with ray head bent over my writing, I was
addressed by n person who approached the
front of iny desk, so entirely unobserved that
I was uot aware of his presence until I heard (
tny name pronounced. As I looked up, with (
my pen in my hand, I saw a tall man, whose
countenance wai not familiar, standing di
rectly over me, and at the same moment 1
caught thuse words:?"I have read your
speech twice over carefully. It is a libel on
Houth Carolina and Mr. Huller who is n relative
of mine."
"While these words were still passing from
his lips, he commenced a succession of blows
with a heavy cane ou my bare head, by the j
first of which I was stunned so as to lo?e|;
viglit. I no longer saw my assailant nor i
any other person or object in the room. (
What I did afterwards was done almost un- (
consciously, acting under instincts of self-defence,
with my head already bent down. I
roso from my seat, wrenching up my desk 1
which was screwed, to the floor, and then
preying forward while my assailant continued
his blows. 1 had no oilier consciousness, .
until I found myself ten feel forward in front
of my desk, lying on the floor of tho Senate
with my bleeding head suppoited on the
knee of a gentleman, whom I soon recognised
by voice and manner as Mr. Morgan, of <
New York. Other persons there were about ,
tne offering friendly assistance, but I did uot <
recognise any of them. Others there were
nt a distance, looking on and ottering no as
that he wn* entirely without arrm of any J
hind and that he had no notice or warning |
of any kind, direct or indirect, of this asMllit.
In answer to another question, Mr. Sumner
replied : That what he had said of Mr.
Hutler was strictly responsive to Mr. [hitler's
speeches.

Death 6v a Member ok Conoruus.?
We have a despatch from St. Louis, says
the rational intelligencer, dated on the
10th instant, conveying to us tho painful in
telligencc of the death, on the 1 ltli instant,
of the Hon. John G. Miller, a Represents- 1
tive in Congress from the fifth district of
Missouri. This worthy gentleman has been l
a great sufferer from disease for nearly two j
years past, and was unable to take his seat ,
at all duiing the proseut session. It is rarely
that a Congress completes its terin with- 1
out an admonition of this sort. This is the
first of the present session, and the shaft lias
pierced a noble heait.

speeches were delivered, all which fully
approved the course of Mr. Brooks, and a
resolution was passed to purchase for Mr. B.

ADVERTISING. j
It seems that our citizens are waiting up
to the importance of placing themselves and
their business before the public, through the
medium of the press. It augurs the prosperity
of a j?eople, when their paper* display

into the lobby of the Senate, where I was)

all my recollections of the assault

which I hare given as uttered by my assail- *
ant, I have an indistinct recollection of the I
words "old man," but these are so enveloped
in the mists which ensued from the first blow,!
that I am not sure whether they were uttered
or not.

TO THE FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE. ^

cud.
As the President of that body, I propose
to ail orders, organizations nod friends of
Temperance gcnei ally, to amcmhle, by delegates
at Greenville on the first Wednesday
in August next. I would suggest that each
society, division, tent or scetiou be represented
by three delegates; and that every friend
of Temperauce who will attend, be considered
as the representative of the part of the
Slate in which ho may live.
In such nn assemblage there will 1>? mate
rial enough to rebuild the State Society, and
give to us, who l?elieve in Temperance and
Prohibition, the sure means of accomplishing
the great work of reform in South Car
oliiia.
Men and brethren, once more answer to

Uk published a few days Ago the notice
of an affray in Cahawha, Alabama, which
resulted in the death of John. K., and John

cnusc of the difficulty, we copy from the Selina
Sentinel :
Some few weeks ago the dwelling house
of Dr. Troy was destroyed l?y fire, and about
the same time efforts were made to tire
Judge Bird's dwelling. No clue could then
be had as to who the incendiary was. Dr.
Troy, becoming satisfied that John A. Bell
had been instrumental in burning his dwelling.
instituted a suit beiore the Circuit Court
for damages against John A. Bell. Jobu
A. Bell Itucciniug exas|terated at the institution
of the suit, went to the doctor's office on
Friday evening and commenced an assault
upon l)r. Troy, with a stick and a drawn
pistol. About the same time Charles A.
Hell ran up, and commenced firing a pistol.

evidence of their election, but had been
unable to decide in the New York case, and
had refused ticket* to both seta of delegates.
Medary made a brief sjtcech on taking the
Chair.
The Bentoniiui delegation from Minsouri
will certainly be rejected. The friend# of
Tierce, Douglas and Buchanan are very sanguine.
There is a tremendous outside prossure
in favor of the latter.
A Committee of'Credentials of one member
from each uncontested State was np
pointed.
Mr. Richardson alluded to the Misaourians
forcing themselves into the hall, and said
that the Convention should protect itself.
Mr. Hall, ot Missouri, attempted to speak,
hut the chair refusod to hear him, whereupon
Mr. Price announced the withdrawal of
the Missouri delegates.
Committee u|H>n Organization and the
Platform were then appoitiud, consisting of
one member from each Slate, and the Convention
adjourned till to-morrow.

Gkohoia in tub Cincinnati Convention.?
We have it from ihe highest authority,
that neither the lion. Howell Cobh,
lion. A. 11. Stephens, nor the Hon. R.
Toombs wilt accept the notuina'ion of the
Vice Presidency, if tendered to them. We
have it, also, fium the snme authority, that
the probabilities at Washington are in favor
of the nomination of lion. Stephen A. I><niglas,
for the Presidency, owing to tho feud
existing between the respective friends of
Pierce nud Ihichauau from which Douglas
and his friends have kept entirely Aloof. In
this event Georgia w ill probably be honored
Fith a place on the Presidental ticket, in
the person of his Excellency, Gov. Johnson,
who, it ia understood, w ill accept the nomination
for the Vico Presidency, if the party
wish it.
If, however, the Cincinnati Contention I
should not unite upon cither of the throe ;
most prominent candidntee now in the field !
for the Presidency there is a chance for IIow- !
ell Cobb to be nominated for that office, in
which case the candidate for the Vice Presidency,
rtttist come from another State. A
few day* will decide whether these opinion*
of well inform?d politicians at Washington,
are worth tli6 trouble of recording.
