A fifty barrel flowing well was struck on the land of the Hopewell oil company, on the loth inst., at a depth of 318 feet. The lands of this -compati}' lie on the Allegheny river in Scrub Grass township, Venango county, and possess unsurpassed facilities.jfor the transportation of its oil. We "BSfijJratulate our friends holding this stock on their good iuplj and wish them more of the Same kind. We understand thnt the Oil Creek ipul Gor don's I'un Petroleum company, in which our eitiaens are also largely interested, is pro gressing finely. It has two wells going down in one of which there is a fine show of oil, though only 300 feet deep yet. The Franklin Citizen says: li lu our last jygfe we marie mention of the increased' ac tivity in all branches of the oil business. — Since that time matters are growing livelier every day. and onr streets are thronged with strangers: we again hear the cry of lands to lease and sell, and almost every day new de velopments increase the demand for elegible old sites. We learn that on Friday last an other large flowing well was struck on Pithole creek, but have been unable to obtain the names of the fortuuate parties. A fine well was obtained ou the Gates Farm in Rockland township, on the Allegheny river. Thursday last, at less lhaa two hundred feet, which is yielding over one hundred barrels per day. In consequence of this somewhat .povel de velopment, lands on the river for fifteen miles or more below Franklin, are rapidly raising in value, and leases, fee simples, Ac., are eagerly sought after- In short there is every uidicaticn that the business will assume great er importance in this county in a short time than ever before."

Commerce, in its true sense, is not merely the interchange of commodities between different countries, bat should be an interna tional trade restricted to those articles which each country requires and cannot produce for itself. When our nation accepts the fallacious position of receiving from another what it could furnish for itself, it is partially subjec ting itself, to that foreign authority. Such control exercised over the manufactures of a country is a money supremacy ltiore difficult to throw off than the tyranny of a king, and is. in some respects, almost us injurious to the real independence of a j>eople. as a eon qnest by foreign armies. The doc trine has been freely accepted that every nation should be sufficient to itself politically; and it is.just as true that, indus trially, every country is in duty bound to render itself as independent as circumstances of' soil and climate will permit. In the natural and legitimate course of trade, the commerce of the United States tends toward countries lying to the north Land south which would supply her deficien cies, and especially with thosotropieai coun tries which are blessed with a superabun dant vegetation, and whose jjeople have no tendency toward manufacturing employ ment*. We should be weaving woolen goods for our Northern neighbors in return their furs and sending quantities of linen and cotton fabrics to such countries as hare only tropic woods and fruits to export. The trade with the manufacturing coun tries —that is, in fact, with those which coin - 1 pete with our own workmen, in our owu has always been considered ofctqie cial importance. These nations are the Brit ish and French possessions in Europe, the various divisions of Germany, together with Belgium and Holland, which furnish us pre cisely -those articles which a wise legislatiou would allow us to make for ourselves. It is aeaerally supposed that in exchange these foreign [towers offer the principal market for our agricultural productions; but, so far from liiat being the case, these countries combined in the decade 1850-1860, only purchased about half as much of our bread-tuffs and provisions as Were taken by the other non manufacturing people to whom our trade -houfd have been especially directed. Mote than half of the entire amount of our other agricultural exports was taken by the same non-manufacturing people^,. with fully one half of the exjwn I of leaf tobacco, and more i|H an eighty- JWI k 'cent, of all our exports of ' •haimfaetnred .articles. " Such a result as this, without discrimina tion in the legislation, or'rather, with atten tion chiefly directed to the manufacturing countries, show.- the true, direction oftradc, and the ooiusu it w.UI find, nqtwithsianding all obstacles. ■ ~ .< THK.Uomniissioner of Customs.

Heavy reinforce ments of troops, to the number of 25J000, have been put on the road to Sheridan within the last few days. General Grant, is repor ted to have said, while in conversation with -Maximilian's minister, that Maximiiian would have to leave Mexico. General How ard has issued an order that if planters in lower Maryland do not cease turning off their old slaves to starve, or neglect to employ them, the government will take possession of their farms and put freedmen to work their lands. N£W YORK, July 22.— 1t is stated that Grant iu amcent conversation with the Mex ican Minister, freely expressed the opinion that the French will soon be obliged to leave Mexico. It is known that the whole sub ject of Mexican affairs is now receiving the atlentioa of the cabinet.

To the Editors of the Franklin Resporitory. I have observed that several of the lead ing citizens of our State have been publicly recommended by their friends as suitable persons to be presented to the Union Con vention, as candidate for its nomination for Governor. Among the claims urged in behalfoftho.se gentlemen, that of locality is prominently set forth. I accept it as having much force, and assert it as peculiarly our own. This section of the State is strangely over looked ID making selections for the bestow inentof State or National honors. That it is important enough in the Commonwealth need not be argued. But something else is wanted than locality to commend a candidate to the people of Pennsylvania at this momentous period. Never before was it so important to hunt out carefully a man fitted to the high posi tion of administering the affairs of this great Commonwealth, burdened now with debt and groaning with unvoidable taxation. Locality has its claims, public service in the cabinet or the field has its claims, but these alone are insufficient. Locality may lack every other qualification; public "service may not be accompanied with integrity, industry or capacity. But honesty, energy, ability are the requisites demanded imperatively by the financial condition of the State, and bv the influence which she is to exert over the councils and policy of the nation. A mere politician won t answer, let his orthodoxy so pure and his intellect never so brilliant. Wisdom and good management in our Executives are more needed now than the more shining but less substantial qualities, which often mislead us in the choice of our rulens but seldom do so in our private concerns. I believe, while we have especial claims as to locality, that we have also most fortunate ly the man. One who has had ample ex perience in public affairs, who is well known throughout the State, who had ample ex jierince in business affairs: whose ability is conceded by political friend and foe, whose honesty is without spot or question; agentle man of industry, of excellent business habits, of firmness, who would administer affairs of the State prudently, economically, wisely. I refer to Uol. Francis Jordan, of Bedford, and am confident that the people of this Congressional district will endorse my decla rations, and labor to secure his nomination.

'THIRD SERIES, #230,000,000. By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for the sale of United States Securities, offers te the public the third series of Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three-tenths per cent, interest per annum, known as the 7.30 LOAN. These notes are issued under date of July 15, 1885, and are payable three years from that date in currency; or are convertible at the option of the holder into U. S. 5-20 SIX PER CENT. GOLD BEARING BONDS. These bonds are now worth a handsome premi um and are exempt, as are all Government Bonds, from State, County, and Municipal taxation, which adds from one to three per cent, per annum to their value, according to the rate levied upen other property. The interest is payable semi-an nually by coupons attached to each note, which may be cut off and sold to any bank or banker. The In tercet at 7 per cent, amount* to One cent per day on a SSO note. Two cent* " " SIOO " Ten " " SSOO 20 fIOOO •1 " " " SSOOO " Notes of all the denominations named will be promptly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions. The Notes of this Third Scries are preoisely sim ilar in form arid privileges to the Seven-Thirties already sold, except that the Government reserves to itself the option of paying interest in gold coin at 6 per cent., instead of 7 3-lflths in currency. Subscribers will deduct the interest in currency up to July 15th, at the time when they subscribe. The delivery of ths notes of this third series of the Seven-thirties will commence on the Ist of June, and will be made promptly and continuous ly after that date. The slight change made in the conditions of this THIRD SERIES affects only the matter of inter est: The payment in gold, if made, will be equiv alent to the currency interest of the higher rate. The return to specie payments, in the event of which only will the option to pay interest in Gold be availed of, would so reduce and equalise prices that purchases made with six per cent, in gold would be fully equal to those made with seven and three-tenths per cent, in currency. This is the OXLY L.OAX IX MARKET now offered by the Government, and its superior advantages make it the Great Popular Loai of the People* Less than $230,000,000 of the loan authorised by the last Congress are now in the market. This amount, at the rate at which it is being absorbed, will all be subscribed for within sixty days, will undoubtedly com* mand a premium, as has uniformly been the ease on closing the subscriptions to other Loans. In order that citixens of every town and section of the country may be afforded facilities for taking the loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the country have generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom they have confidence, and who only are to be res ponsible for the delivery of the notes for which they receive orders.
