the late Commodore Levy. The object Of this
suit Is TO have the devise by Commodore Levy, de-
ceased, of his Monticello estate, Jefferson's old
home, and ps,t Of the Washington essate 10 same
county. declared invalid, and partition OF the
same ordered among his heirs. at law, the above
named plaintiffs. The. ownership of the most
valuable property has been for long time ia dis
pute. The commodore died in New York during
the war, and cut of his natural heirs without a
dolsr-the property at Monticello was sequestered
by the Confederate government and sold at auc-
ton, Mr.. Franklin becoming the purchaser, but
the war falling it Of course reverted to the origi.
nal owner. The will Of Commodore Levy was a
very singular one, but as yet we have been unable
to find out what reason J. P. Levy (his own son)
alleges for asking the court to declare il valid.
Among the defendants in this suit are the people
of the United States. the Portuguese Hebrew Con-
gregation of the city Of New York. the Old Portu-
guese Hebrew Congregation In same city and

THE FIRST ADvooArE OF ABoLIrros.---It is
currently believed, especially In New England,
that d.. Samuel Hopkins, minister OF Newport.
X. l., was the first open advocate Of the abolition
of slavery in this country. But John woolman,
the Quaker preacher Of New Jersey, began his
lsbors in 176o at the yearly meeting 10 Newport,
talking very plainly with the families WHOM he
visited concerning their slaves the wickedness Of
slaveholding, and the terrible consequences which
10 would inevitably bring upon posterity. Just
q century was required to bring about emsn-
