paralytic attack as he was leaving church last
Thanksgiving day, from which he partially re-
covered but some few days since, another at
tack interviewed, which proved fatal Mr.. Eaton
was the founder Of the North Star ahe first num-
Der of which was issued at Danville, in 1906 :,
and he was its principal editor until about eight
cen years since, when his son, n IL. Eaton. ESQ.
the present editor and publisher, took upon him

~ n Lancaster face is ever seen at the White
iIousc. and none of the men who are known to
have adhered to the fortunes of the President
in those dark days when he crouched at their
feet begging for their support. What the CON
dition Of affairs is in Philadelphia | need not
repeat. Even the people who hold Offices under
him, while they may fear, do not admire or cs-
teen him; and of those who do not hold office,
scarcely one can be found among these who
were proud to be numbered as his friends three
years ago, who does not express sorrow or in
dignation at the course he has pursued. In
Washington, venture to assert that the Pres
idcnt cannot point to an honest personal friend.
Mcssrs. Bright and Sidell arc supposed to be
the nearest to him, and yet those who know
these gentleman shrug their shoulders at the
slightest suggestion Of any cordially between
them and the head OF the Government.

Arizona. Dakota and Jefferson Tcrritorialblls
were laid on the table to-day by overwhelming
votes. The arrogant Slavery majority OF the
Committee on Territories, under the lead of Mr.
Stcphens of Georgia. put Slavery riders on
them. and then attempted to drive them through
the House under whip and spur, but the Repub-
lcans went solid against them, together with the
buchanan Democrats, who are averSe to
comforting more patronage upon the President
The defeat of these bills destroyed the patriotic
hopes of Delegates, and more than two hundred
applcants for the offices of Governors, Sccrcta-
RIGS, Marshals, Attorneys, Judges, &c. Mr..
buchanan has made promises largely in view of
the passage of these bills, and RACES awfully be-
cause be is deprived Of so much patronage.
After severe struggle to-day, the House CON
cured in the Senate amendments to Mr.. Nor
rills Agricultural College bill, and it has gone
to the President A personal friend Of the lat
ter asserts this evening that the President will
veto il.
The House has at last passed the Senate bill,
making Mrs. General Myra Gaines pcnsioncr
at fifty dollars per month for life.
In Executive session of the Senate to-day, n
sharp debate took place about the nomination of
Potter as Collector at Toledo, Ohio. Mr.. Brown
of Mississippi offered resolution calling upon
the President for the facts upon which he based
the nomination. This was opposed by Messrs.
Mason, Seward, Wade and others, as indecor-
GUS Mr. Pugh made severe onslaught upon
Potter, and charged that the President, in max
ing the nomination, asSaled him personally
Mr.. Mason said if the Senate refuse to confirm
the nomination, the President would send it
back. Mr.. Browns resolution was not adopt
ed. Potter was rejected by one majority, and
the vote was then reconsidered and the case
/ laid over. The President informed several Tol'
edo politicians, who called upon him the other
I day 10 demonstrate against Poucr's nomination,
that they didn't know Potter half so well as he
/ did, and that he should never abandon him.
The secret Of Mr.. Pugh's opposition to Potter
is because the latter is opposed to the former,
reelection to the Senate. Senator Wade ad.
yocatcs the confirmation Of Potter, which an
roys Pugh exceedingly.

MATyER.S Ar MASKING TON.

The most important votes taken in Congress,
during the past week, were that in the Sen
ate dismissing the application of the gentle
men contesting the seats Of Messrs Fitch and
Bright, Senators from Indiana, and that in the
House admitting Oregon into the Union as a
State.
The House have concurred in the Senate
amendments to Mr.. Morrill's Agricultural bill,
and that measure only awaits the approval of
the President to become law
Aside from the time devoted to the case of
the Indiana Senators the Senate have been
chiefly engaged in discussions relative TO the
thirty million appropriation for the purchase of
Cuba.
The tariff question seems likely to remain
undsturbed notwithstanding the anxiety of the
President and the Pennsylvania democrats to
do something to help the iron interest of that
State. The Southern democracy having got
about all the aid and comfort they can reasona-
bly, expect from the facile democrats of Penn
vania, are now ready to exclaim, poor old
boss, let him die"
An investigating committee, of which Mr.
Sherman of Ohio, is chairman, has been engag-
ed for several weeks in fcrretting out frauds
perpetrated by democratic officials. The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Times
writes that some startling disclosures have been
made which will, in due time, be laid before
Congress by the Committee.
But two weeks more remain for this Congress
to complete their labors 1t looks now as if
the appropriation bills would fail in which case
the President will be compelled to call an extra
session of the next Congress.

FATAL RAILROAD AcCIDENT.-As the last

stopped and the man picked up alive, but with
one of his legs and thigh terribly crushed. He
was taken - the Massachusetts Hospital, where
he died at an early hour Sunday morning. The
deceased had been at work cutting ice at South
Acton. and was on his way to his home in South
Boston when the accident occurred.
