Wzksw, Pniixips,tho great abolition ret died last Saturday evening, iu his 73rd year, having been born in Boston, Mias., on the 29th oi November, 1811. His father was John Phillips, a mau of great wealth and influence, and tbe first Mayor of Bohtou. Deceased graduated at Harvard in 1831, and from tbe law school in 1833, and was admitted to tbe bar in the following year. He early es. poused' tbe cause of tbe abolitionists, which feeling was intensified by tbe as. trocities committed by tbe Boston Mob d iriug tbe anti-slavery riots in October. 1S35. and the following year he openly espoused the cause of abolitionism and relinquished his law practice. Iu the death of Mr. Phillips the little band of origiual ubilitiouists losej its most heroic and striking figure. Tni Northampton Democratio county committee met at Easton Monday and elected V. II.

In Dakota, says an exchange, there are great numbers of Norwegians, who have been attracted to the country by the fiamir.g circulars of the railroad and laud companies, and still more by letters from friends fclrtm'y on tbe ground.

The flrxt improvement is a sty close by the front doori aud-the pig only euters tbe house occasionally as a visitor. Next, tbe boaie-nnfde sod stove must xnako way for au iron oue, and the sod house itself is deserted for a dwelling of wood, and costing perhaps as much as $200. When this house, with its windows and Its shingled roof, is finally painted white, the climax is reached. Imagina tion ia its wildest flight can picture noth ing more luxurious or beautiful.

C, Feb. 2. '83, Quito a scene occurred in tbe House yesterday, just before adjourament,when the Speaker laid before that body a rues sage from tbe President transmitting, in response to resolutions, a report of tb Secretary of State, with accompanying papers, relative to restriction of th importation of American hog product into Germany and France. Immediately a clash of jurisdiction arose as to which committee wasentitled to the report of Secretary of State, Mr. Townshend, of Illinois,favoring the Committee on Com- meroe, Mr. Hatch , of Mtssonri, the Com tnlttee of Agriculture, and Mr. durtin.of Pennsylvania, tbe Committee on Foreign Affairs, Finally matters were compro mised to tbe mutual satisfaction of all parties, by ordering tbe message printed and laying it on the table. Senator McPberson introduced in tbe Senate yesterday a joint resolution to ap propriate and make availablo immediate ly $300,000 to carry into effect the pro. visions of the joint resolution to provide for an expedition for the relief of Lieut. Grcely and parly, and to limit the ex penditure under that resolution to tbe sum named Tbe winter season ofgaj ety reached its height tbe past week and society now begins to tread the dow l ward path whose termination is tbe begluuiugor tbe peni tential season. Not alone the nights but the days have been filled with gayety. aud weaned forms and faces at the vari ous gatherings havo attested only too plainly that the physical strain upon the membeis of tne gay world is becoming utriourly felt. Already there are many worn-out deserters from the ranks, and more and more familiar forms uud faces ore niUaed lit each aucceeding event. Every evening of tbo week has brought a ball or u party, and receptions, dinners, teax, and theatre parties have bteu as the sands of the sea in number. Besides reclaiming several forfeited laud grants by this Congress, important legislation is called for ou the indebted nesH to the United States by tbe Pacific railroads, which havo received subsidies amounting, on the first day of July last, to $102,370,312. Under tbe provisions of what is known as tbe Thurman act, twenty-five per cent, of tbe net earnings of each road is applied to tbe payment of its debt. This will leavj the eieht principal companies indebted to tb United States, When these bonds become due, at least $75,000,000; and attempts will be made to force tbe railroads this whiter to accept a scheme for the pay ment of this debt, or for giving security that it will be paid. Seuator Edmunds has taken the matter iu hand, and, al though the railroad companies virtually n a good lininj men her iu Washing ton, tbey cannot thcape bis relcntltss de terminatiou. The insolence of these corporations is iimaz.ng. Tbey dcly tbe acts of Congress and tbe whole pocr of tbe (j 'Verumeut.seiting their own pleas ure as the full aieasure of their liability hul there are signs that all thin sort of thing will have to end before loug. The lobby maintained by them here is yery strong, but is gradually losing its grip. One of these lobbyists has au attractive augbu-r, who goes into society and ex tends civilities to tho wives and daugh ters of members, while be gives them lunches and good liquor. Another first- lass lobbyist is renowned as a poker player, aud never hesitates about losing few bundled dollars when be desires to ugratiate himself with tbe winner. Ex-Governor Ben Butler will doubtless pocket some handsome retainers by act ing as counsel for some of those who ure he overhauled by the investigating committees. The General has already several irons iu the fire. Oue is u prop ortion to make the United States pay argtly fur the Potomao w&ttr now in use under an old manulacturinc orivi- ege located at the Great Full, In which General Gushing secured a controlling merest. Auntlur project Is to sell Cs- e Butler to the United States for com mittee rooms One-third of the building has iilwajs been leased to the United Slatt s for the Coast Survey.

Washington, Feb 0, 1881. The last week iu t. e National Capitol has been oue of considerable seusulion, though rather subdued iu toue and lack, lug that intensity whicn is neceesarv to rente in a man a countenance an "aiu't- it-uwful" look. Tho most prominent iheme of conversation has been TUE KEirjtn-IlOYNTON niBB.CO.LIO, and tbe ex-Speaker from Oblo.is certain ly the "worsted" man iu the fracas. Col. Boynton, tbe Washington correspondent oi tne Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, whom Mr. heller Hmrgm with having approached him (Keifer) with au offer or intimation that if Keifer would lend bis official recognltiou to the passage of tbe famous Land Scrip bill "there would he millions in It," is au old journalist o tbe highest chaiacter, enjoyiuga reputa tiou of strict honesty and truthfulness. which aloue glreg his word more weight istics of tbe ex-Speaker. THE M1KBUAN BESOLCTIONS failed to incite the partisan debate that It was thought they would. It was said that Seuator Msbone, in anticipation of speeches being made by Lamar, Vest aud other Southern Senators In answer to his (Mahone's) speech upon the reso lutions, had prepared a rcsponso which he intended to deliver. But be and oth ers were taken completely by surprise at tbe silence of (hefoemocrats, and the re solutions passed upqna strict, parly vote, The Senate Committee on elections will now proceed to investigate and the dem ocrats will present ovidence as a defenn against that presented by tbe Itepubll cans. A Democratio Senator said to me "The Republicans will get more than they bargained for at Danville," and when I asked Senator Sherman what bo thought would be tbe result of tbe in vestlgatlou he replied: "It will officially reveal tbe studied shot-guu policy of dls franchising the Southern negro. The Democrats now treat tbe matter with contempt, but you will find them in a different mood when tho committee gets to work." A raUTTEB AM0KO THE MOItMOttS. Private advioes received hero from Utah state that Senator Edmund's bill for the suppression of polygamy reported the other day by Mr. Hoar from his Com mlttee and recommended to be passed by ibe Senato, has caused great excite ment iu Salt Lake City.

THE OoyEBNOB OF TJTAII, Eli Murray, Is under a hot fire from various sources charging him with dis nonesty whllo U. S. Marshall of Ken tucky. These charges, it is claimed are resurrected at the preseut time by poly gamous innuciices in order to secure Murray's removal as Governor of Utah or to prevent bis re-appointment next June, as Gov. Murray is one of the stroug(8t auti-polygamistsiutbe couutrv aud La 3 caused the Mormons all the trouble ho possibly could in bis ofllcial capacity. It is to be hoped be will pass "examination,'' be exonerated, and tbe re-appoiutwd to bis preseut trust. PENDLETON MILL ALINE. Senator Pendleton has lost none of his reform civil service ideas by reason of his defeat to be returned to the Senate. He has just introduced a bill proposing such an amendment of the Constitution of the United States as will provide for the election by the people of postmasttra, marshals and district attorneys, thus abridging the President's appointing power and removing tbe possibility of nsiug this vast patronage for political prcs'.ige. Mr. Pendleton has confidence that tbe resolution will yet become a law, but I have not found a single Sena, tor who would Vote for its passage. The Seuator iu speaking of his late contest with Payne in Ohio, Bays that his party will suffer more than himself individu ally because the action wu.i virtually au endorsement by the Ohio Democracy of tbe spoils system, a t-ystem that the Democraoy at large will not eudorse. When asked what he thought of Payne as n Presidential candidate he renht-ri with a lar.gb: '-Should Mr. Payue be nominated the Democratio parly would suffer the greatest defeat iu nil its his- tory. But there is not the remotest dun- ger of his selection." SENATOR BLAIB's BCUEME. Senator Blair reported from tbe Com mittee on education a bill stcuring tbe beutfits )f commou school education to all children in the U. S., nnd pioviding that there shall be appropriated annually for ten years a sum of money beginning wltb $15 000,000 and diminished by $1,000,000 iu each succedlng year, which sum shall be paid or' to the States and Territories in propoi -,ion to their illiter ate population. This measure will pro voke one oi the liveliest debates in the Senate this session as there are several of tbe leading Senators preparing speeches for nnd against it. The South would de rive the largest share of the money under the provisions ot tbe bill. "BJ1 E1CELLENCT." Considerable discussion has existed in official circles here us to the proper man- ner ol addressing a commnuicatiou to tbe President. Tbiukiug to euligbteu the general publio on this point of etiquette looked over the records of the First Congress and found that one of the first subjects it took up was, "what stylo iu titles it will be proper to nuuex to the offioes of tbe President and Vice-Presi- ent of the United States." It was re ferred to a joint committee who reported u favor of addressing tbe Presideut as His Eicelleuoy," but this was rejected n the Senate. A conference committee then reported in favor of "His Highness the President of the United Slates ot America nud protector of their L.ber- tlts. This smacked too much of auto. ciuoy, and a resolution iu favor of the Fiaiu adores: "To tbe President of the Uuited States," was adopted, and that remains iu force. There is therefore no legal authority for the custom olten in dulged iu ufaddressiog the President as "Hw Excellency.'' F11ED. DOUGLASS AND 1IH EKIDE. There are quiet rumors flyiug around in thd city that Fred Douglass is having au unpleasant houeymoou. Mr. Doug lass is the father of a daughter but a tew years tbe junior of his new wife, and it is said tbe daughter will uot he recon ciled iu having a white step-mother. Miss Douglass is employed io her father's office, Mr. Douglasi being recorder of deeds for Washington. What termina tion tbe affair will bare it it bard to tell. SENSATION IN BEiL ESTATE CinCLEI. Hon. Loriu Biodget of Pmladelpbia made things lively amoug real estate owners in this city last Tuesday by filing a suit for pqsseuiou of nearly the whole or tbe uorthern portion of Washington, Mr. Biodget is the trustee of the late Samuel Biodget, of this city, who cime here from Boston, where he was an East Indian merchant in 1791. and paid $200. 000 in solid sliver lor about five hundred acres of land known as the "Jamaica" ooudltions being that it should bo de voted to the purpose of founding a capi tal city before 1801. Thj violation of this condition Is tbe ground of suit, and among the defendants are General Grant, W. W. Corcoran, Senator Don Cameron, ex-Postmaster General Creswell nnd many other prominent and weaUby men who own expensive residences and rental property oQ. the disputed tract. Tbe case, will be.-holly Contested, but MrV Corcoran laughs it the whole affair and calls It a "blackmail Scheme.'' GEN. FITZ-JOUN FOBTEB VINDICATED. The House of Representative! least of the Forty-eiehlh Congress, have re moved tbe stigma that has been resting upon his name for twenty-one lyears. After an exhaustive debate on both sides of tbe question the House finally reached a vote late Friday night, and when tie roll had been callod It revealed the pus. sage of tbe bill re-instating General For, ter by 184 yeas to 78 nays, nine voles over a two-third majority. An anylysis of the vote discloses the fact that nearly all tbe Southern members are included in the majority, very few Democrats vol Ingagaiustit. Three-fourths of the nay's came from the Republican side. General Porter is much elated over tho result in tbe House and has been in per sonal attendance whenever bis case was called np. Wben tbe result or the voto was bULonneed the General's feeliogs gave way in tears of joy and many were tbo hearty congratulations tendered the old war veteran, The bill must yet pa- s the Senate. Our New York Letter., Regular correspondence of Advocate. New Yobk, Feb. 5tb, i884.' Dropping in at the Hoffman Houao a few evenings ago, I found a group of men, several of them newspaper men, laughing heartily. I osked them the cause of it, and was told that I was just a few minutes too late for good s ort. Hi me weeks ago a Utile paper was Btatt- ed, and the publisher is a man who has been repeatedly connected with papers which led a precarious existence far a few weeks and then died from lack of vitality ond support As n rule lie writer for snob papers did not get their money and then there were scenes iu the otllce, and not infrequently free flplls were indulged in. If rumor is right.ll e gentleman in question has had IbeAEOu MENTUM AD HOMISEM atlulled to him i' ore than once by Irate scribes. Thus it waR in this case. The little paper has for the last three weeks been trying hard to die, nnd is still in the throes. For several weeks editors, writers and com positors received their pay in the shape of promises. Of course, one after the other of tho fratrnity dropped off and only paid occasional calls at tho olllco to seo about "the prospects." Prospects however grew dimmer and dimmer. Then oue oi tne editors, believing that the publisher had money which ho preferred to keep for blmseif, undertook to take his pay "out of the publisher's hide," and one fine afternoon thrashed him iu his office. A fewdays later, ou tbo even ing iu question this editor accompanied by another editor ou thesame journal saw the publisher standing iu front of the Hoffman Ho ise. The knight of Ihe pen spat in bis face and knocked him down and then walked away. This scene had ortated tho omuftment which 'I found Liter iiu the eveslng two journalist went into a drrg store far some soda. The lucklesi pub lisher strolled in himself a few moments later, not knowing that his cuemiej were iu there. Thinking that he was in nearch of revenge, tne former assailant prompt ly followed tbe principle of war that it ia always better to be the aggressor than on tbe defeusive spat upon tho publisher again, knoaked him down, nud after pro viding him with a beautiful black eye, walked off with tbe utmost uonchaltuce. What the upshot will be I do not know, but it is safe to lay heavy odds that no money will be forthcoming. Mr. Villard, tbe unfortunate President of the Northern Pacific, is gradually re covering from his physical aud mental prostration, and his condition bids fair to euible bim to take an active interest in affairs again. A great deal of sym pathy was oieated lor him at the time ol the Northern Pacific collapte, by tbe statement that he had given up his entire fortuue to satisfy his creditors. A Wo 1 S reet man, however tells me that out of tbe ruins he scraped together a littls forluuu which will prove little short of a million, ami with this the poor mau may get along. Iu fact ho is said to havo made another haul of halfu million dur iug tbe recent bull raid iu Wall Street ou Northern Pacific and similar kludred securities. "Take my worl lor it." said nn old student of Wall Street, "Villaid may not be ready for decided action un. til tbe fall; be may nut wish to havo lis summer's rest broken.but bo will be back ou the Street.with his way clearly milk ed out, aud, as he is a good hater uud has plenty of pluck, some of the men who brought about his ruin, will haie reason to reurel their lolly." Thj authorities at tho University Med ical College ore much aunoyed over the reports published in the newspapers of the rows among tbe students, particularly ovjr tbe sensatioual account of au assault on one student during which he was so badly used ns to necessitate bit confine ment to bed for sometime. The facts iu tbe case are simply these. As In el; colleges, where youug men are gathered together, thero is ut times a great deal of horseplay, but which never results in anything serious providing eyerjbodv retraius bis good nature. Thus for in stance, it is a glaring violation of oue ot the fundamental maxims of etiquette lo como to tbe college with a high bat or a cane. Any such iulractiou of the un written code results in the prompt de struction of the offensive articles. A favorite sport is.for the students tn crowd a stairway, aud then takiog up one of tneir nnmuer.auu passing mm over their when he reached tbe lauding, but there Were nn bri ken bones and no bruises, I had a talk wltb the bead of one of the leading real eslftte firms a day or two ago, and be assured me that rents wc uld go down.

Aixkxtown, Feb. C It wassmnkyand dull about S o'clock to night, when tbe clangcing bells announced that a building was on fire Iu this usually quiet little city.
