but it should be avoided 30 far as possible.

WENDELL PHILLIPS IN WASH.
UNGTON.


We print this morning, the speech OF Mr
Wendell Phillips, delivered in Washington OF
Friday evening last. Mr. Phillips never want
readers, any moro than be does hearers, and
We need not, therefore, call attention to the
speech itself. But the fact that it was delivered
in Washington, aud the incidents attending hi
visit there, are too noteworthy to be passed
over in silence. 1t is hardly year since THU

evening. vet q series Of mobs, organized By
men who pass for gentlemen in Boston, had
eliminated in az attempted Sunday not. aim
ing at the life of Mr.. Phillips. Both thon and
now he 10 a representative man, and the fierce
anger that then sought his death, and the
de'erencs and respect now paid to him BY men
in tho highest places Of the nation, are tributes
to tho idea Of which. he, more than and other
one man, is a popular exponent. 1t Is not
often that history presents such violent con-
trasts in such rapid succession.
In it without rcason1 Ii would be foolish to

respectable in the violence Of Boston year
ago, it il Just az rational aud respectable now:
if il was proper and natural that Senators

day, by @ graceful culture. and by the mental

TO q humane purpose. then it would have been
just as proper and natural one, two. or too
years ago. But tho simple fact-and 1t 10 one
worthy to pause and ponder upon--the people

NOT NEEDED.

II 10 proposed to divide the Northern Distric
of New.York, so that instead of one United
States Court, there shall be two, with Judges
Marshals, District-Attcrneys, and so forth. The
bill has passed the House Of Representatives,
aud 10 now In tho Senate.
To prove how needless this change is, we
will state on the authority of the official re-
cords, that during the last Judicial year (lo6l),
tho whole business Of both the Circuit and
District Courts in that district was completed
in seven terms, sitting in all thrty.three days
only, including two Sundays. The May Term
occupied two days only; the June Term, four
days; the July Term, two; the August Term,
four; the October Term, FIVE; the November
Term, eight; and the January Term, eight

said TO be- "the better part OF ralor." Bat in
