WENDELL PHILLIPs AGAIS.-Mr. Phillips
and his special friends vince little under
the reception given to his reported threat Of
reputation, and his organ, the Ant,-Siarery
Standard gives corrected version of what
he did say, according to which he said moth
ing worse than the very unnecessary, not to
say foolish remark, that he would repudiatc
the rebel debt if the nation should assume It
The authorized report reads thus

party which puts on Its banner, Reputation Of

This has very unfortunate look like an
after-thought. Moreover, the Boston papers
stick to it that what he declared for was the
reputation OF the debt oil the United States.

Thus " Warrington" says:

port of his speech which was sent to New York

his remarks about reputation. and recollect
distinctly what they were. Said he: If | were

that debt could not bind succeeding generation,
I would 20 for reputation of the State debt un-
less peace and the fruits Of victory were secured

The Boston Commonwealth, which is ready
to go ell lengths with Mr. Phillips, gives !
still another version as follows:
'sHe maintained that the exclusion of colored /
loyalists from suffrage would necessarily result /
in the assumption by the general government Of
the confederate debt. To this, without ulti-
mate universal suffrage, he Was opposei, and he
believed the country would repudate the whole
debt rather than take the rebel Indebtedness
without the ballot for the blacks
IL appears, then, that Mr.. Philips is will
ing that the rebel debt shall be assumed if
the negroes are allowed to vote and that
unless they are allowed to vote, be goes for
both the national and rebel
debts. If all this improves his position any,
he Is, of course. entitled to the correction.

Our readers who keep any track Of such
matters are doubtless familiar with the con-

with those terms ; that consequently by the
provisions OF the act, the Vermont State
University and Associate Colleges" the re-

and associate colleges, should have be, n To-
Gated in Burlington that the Legislature of
1864 with gross bad faith, and in violation
ofrights that had become rested, and which
could doubtless be maintained by law if the
University cared to appeal to legal tribunals
for redress repealed the act OF 1868, annul-
led the completed arrangement. and incor-
coprorated the Vermont Agricultural College
as a separate Institution. The complete es-
tablishment of the institution thus incUrpo-
rated was by the act conditioned upon the
raising by subscription Of the sum of
800 GOO to be added to the fund obtained
from the Congressional grant, (which now
amounts with accrued interest to about
$40 ,000) to form the foundation of the new
Institution. The corporators of the
Agricultural College, at a recent meeting,
took means towards securing the required !
amount. The trustees of the Agricultural |
College, consisting of one from each County,
were appointed agents to solicit subscrip-
tons, with power to appoint sub-agents.-
When this sum Of 800 600 is raised, the |
location of the college is to be decided by the |
trustees, and it is not unreasonable to sup
pose that the question Of location viii be
greatly Influenced if not determined, in favor
of the locality which shall furnish the re-
quired sum. or the greatest proportion Of it.
In this view Of the case active efforts are in
progress in several counties of the State to
secure subscriptions, and considerable sums
have already been pledged. 1t Is understood
that at the meeting of the trustees, sab
criptions of $1,000 each were pledged by
Gov. Smith, Hon. J. S. Morrill, and T. W.
Park, ESQ.,, of Bennington that Mr.. Nor
riIl offered to make bis $1,000 if the college
should be located in his town, and Mr.. Park
to make his $4,000 if it should be placed
In Bennington. In Rutland Senator Foot
has subscribed $1,000, and very earnest
effort is making to secure the entire Sl00, 900
n that County, on condition that the Agri-
cultural College be located in Rutland.

Tue LONDON TINES on The CAPruKE or
JEFF. DAvIs.-The Times of the 9th ult..
has an editorial ON the capture, which il
says will produce feeling of uneasiness and
anxiety in every country IN Europe. 1t says
the English people have very little reason to
sympathize with Davis, as he has been one
Of the most inveterate caluminators Of that
country, and repudmtor, while his main
calculation as a seceder was that he should
be able to cOerce England into helping the
rebellion. by depriving her OF cotton. But
1t pretonds that it Is in the interest of the
cause of the American Union that it depre-
Gates the taking of Davis life, when no good
object would be subserved byIt. The Times,
however, adds
''All this,of course,is written on superstition,
the truth of which We do not for a moment
doubt, that it will be found impossible to connect
Mr.. Davis in any way with the atrOcious plot for
the assassination Of Mr.. Lincoln Our object
Il not 10 pslliate that enormous CRIME and, if IT
be poss bic to show that Mr.. Davis was cogniz-

The citizens of Burlington are always glad
TO extend hearty reception TO our returning
heroes. but unfortunately have no gilt Of
secOnd-sight which will enable them to fore
see the arrival Of such bodies without some
kind of notice. In tins case, no word OF the
coming of the Battery was received here. It
was known that they bad lett Washington,
but whether they were coming TO Burling-
ton or to Brattleboro, was not definitely
known. Some of our citizens SurHi SeG that
they might be along by boat on Thursday
afternoon, and went down to welcome them
but they did not come. and with nothing az
ter that on which to base even a guess As to
when or how they might get here, if they
were coming here at all, it Is not very sur
prising that when they did come, at six in
the morning, they found no preparations to
receive them. The Battery boys are less sen
