DEATH OF JUDGE JoHN G. UNDER
woodbridge John G. Underwood, Of
Virginia, but recently residing in Washing
ton, died suddenly of opoplexy at his resi-
dence, 226 Third street, at 10 o'clock, on
Monday evening.
The deceased, who was native of Herki.
mer county, New York, emigrated to Eau.
quier county, Virginia, some twenty-five
or thirty years ago, where he married and
settled. He was educated for the law,
and divided his attention for some years
between agricultural pursuits aud the prac-
tice Of his profession On account Of his
well-known sympathy with the abolition
movement and his support of Mr.. Lincoln
for the Presidency in 1860, he was compell-
ed to leave the State Mr., Chase, in 1861,
secured his appointment as fifth auditor,
and in 1864 President Lincoln appointed
him District Judge for the District of Vir-
GINA, which position he held at the time
Of his death. In 1865 he was elected
United States Senator by the Legislature
in session at Alexandria, to succeed Mr..
Carlisle, but was not admitted to his seat,
owing to the reconstruction measures de.
barring Virginia from representation in
Congress. He presided over the conven-
ton which framed the present Constitution
of Virginia. Latterly his name has been
brought prominently before tho public in
connection with the McVeigh suits for the
recovery Of con6scated property-the Judge
being the holder Of this property and de-
PENDANT in the suits. The circumstances
of the late personal attack upon him in
Richmond by MeVeigh are well rcmem-
bored. The deceased, who was 63 years
of age, left wife and two children.

The Lawyers.

The Philadelphia LeOgei makes the fol
lowing allusion to subject not much
mooted in the public journals, but one
which requires some notice both BY the
press and the people
Are there epidomics Of events, or is our
attention only attracted occasionally Ia
constantly recurring incidents by the pres.
ence Of some notable action, whethergood
or bad, of the same class ? Great fires,
crimes out of the common order, the for
nation of charitable institutions for new
purposes, new offences against law, and a
revival of old rules and regulations, some
times seem to follow each other in rapid
succession In widely separated fields Of ac-
ton. Do they follow each other logically,
or is their apparent sequence the result
Of chance? For a long time lawyers of
certain class have been permitted by
courts to bully and insult judges, jurors and
witnesses, but a reaction in this regard
seems to have set in epidemically Of late.
A few weeks ago Judge Butler, at West
Chester, gently but firmly prevented the
badgcring of witnesses at the trial Of I'd
derzook Soon afterwards Judge Finlet-
ter, of this city, rebukcd the lawyers de-
Tending the Germantown liquor cases, for
language and conduct unbecoming to the
Court. On Saturday last Judge Davis, Of
New York, punished the counsel in tho
Tweed trial for contempt of Court, and
almost simultaneously Herewith Boston
lawyer, "who abused the Judge and used
some pretty severe language in reference
to the price Of the jury was sent to jail
by Judge Bacon, Of Lowell, Massachusetts
Whether this is an epidemic or not, it is
to be hoped that this seemingly logical
sequence of events will become real sue
cession in all courts for all time to come,
that the lawyers may be made to know
that there are some other men in the world
besides themselves.

The Westminster Democratic advocate has
just entered upon its ninth volume. The
present proprietors, Messrs. VIM. III. 4 Chas.
H. Vanderford, assumed control in March,
1865, and have long since succeeded in max
ing Il one of the best journals Of its class now
published. We invariably open the Adroeafe
with the assurance that We shall find It reada-
bic paper Baiiimoreaa.
We appreciate more highly the aattering
notice Of the Baltimorean, because it is
itself one of the best papers in the State,
and conducted with much tact and signal
ability. II shall be our aim to merit the
good opinion Of all our cotemporaries, be-
cause We know that that opinion viii be
rendered inteIligently, and because adverse
opinions sometimes reach us from men, to
whom all journals are alike, provided they
can get them for half price. That is the
chief consideration with them. The quail
ity Of an article does not enter into their
consideration. Its eheapness IS all they
think Of, and If We published Himsy dis
colored rag Of newspaper, filed with the
trashy advertisements Of the city agents,
it would be all the same to them, so they
did not have to pay over one dollar per
year for it. The man who has 50 little in
telIigent appreciation of a good newspaper,
as 70 think il dear, at t.oo dollars per year,
had better 60 aud subscribe for some cheap
journal better suited to his contracted ideas,
and the cheaper il is, in more senses than
one, the more likely he VIII be to appre-
ciate Il.

Mr.. Gibbs, Of Columbus, Mississippi,
gave some good advice to the farmers Of
that State at the fifth annual fair Of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Association
of Carroll, Montgomery and Choctaw coun-
ties. He urged every farmer to put him
self squarely and in good faith on cash
and economy platform-to have paying
farms, rather than large plantations hall
scratched and prOftless. A powerful pub
lie opinion, he said, must make economy
fashionable, and idleness and extravaganza
disreputable. This will apply in Mary
land as well as in Mississippi

these good things? That's the question ask

columns Of The ADVOCATE, and see who offers
us the best bargains, in such things as we
need. We need toys for the children, and
pretty books, photograph albums, and every
variety Of fancy articles, as Christmas gifts
for our friends. Well, we don't find such
things mentioned in the papers, perhaps the
Westminster shop-kepeers don't sell such
things and so we shall be under the necessity
Of sending all the way to Baltimore for them.

rare intellectual treat enjoyed by the citizens
OF Westminster, who had the good fortune 10
be present in the Centenary NJ. Z. Church, on

lecture of Rev. Thomas Guard, Of Baltimore
on the subject Of "Self. Government" The
lecturer did not treat his theme politically, as.
from its title, might have been anticipated by
some Of his auditors, but ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

physical, moral, and Intellectual man; a strict
observance Of all the laws of our being a
perfect and absolute subsection Of the under.
standing, the will, the thoughts, the emotions.

We shall not attempt a description Of his fer

our rapt attention. We cannot paint the sun
