The rates at - the wells on Oil Creek have ranged during the past year from $3.11 to 117.50 II bid, averaging less than $3; and on Pit Sietc from ri.so to SALSO, averaging , abOut 11,1 bbL Moat of the small wells, however, heretofore in operation have been on Oil Creek and all along the river, from Franklin to Tidloute. enera%- they pay to the land interest a royal tl of half thnir product. in the M. 40 of a ten barrel Well, therefore, the owner of the land tales his }lye barrels and pays his bl tax to the operator; after paving his tax having $lO left to him out of whiCh to pay all expenses, aver aging from *l2 to $l3 per day, without counting repairs to machinery, whfels is often a large item and interest on his investment. In other words, though his industry contributes to the Government $lO per day, his own profits, not. withstanding all his risks, scarcely exceed the the wages he is required to pay for n day's bor. Such, however, L 4 the liability of all welly to accident and Interruption, that in nine eases out of ten, wells rated at ten barrels will not average, the year round, eight barrels per slay, or even seven barrels; and the consequence has been that under the heavy tax imposed by the Government all these small producers have been driven out of the business. _ . The matter is an important one and demitath; the Minn:Mato intentions of Congress. There is no reason, weteel assured, to apprchendithe exhaustion of the Venaugo region for many years to come. 'lt has already produced up- Wards of nine million barrels, mainly froth a Very small locality, and the product of the last year has been greater than ever before. Some particular sections, it Is true, show a diminish ed product, and there are fewer large wells than formerly; but these, facts do not argue ex .baustron, beingolearlyaecounted for on bust. ness principlee,aml, as all experience proven, in a large menstire susceptible of remesiv.

Ile showed, by Constititutional authorities that the Constitution recognized the States- in two distinct characters one was the grog-mph teal State with its inhabitants. In this sense a State may lose it republican government—ln thin sense a republican government zany be guaranteed or given It by the United States. In this .ense parts or It may be taken to metro new States. In another Important con itntional sense, a State is an organized body politic, having defined territory, people. eon stitution and laws, which recognized end ren dered obedience to thel7nited States, anti hold certain resulting rights and power, of Gov ernment thereunder. In this last sem". the State, as a body politic, could be dissolved by rebellina.
