KURTZ E3ITOR. y i.n'tuk llali., IV, Mar. l.\. lb" Mr. Ky,Btyw' Pod Master Qwmml, led a Confederate regiment during the late war, anil was a Democratic Senator appointed to fill Andrew Johnson'- va cancy; but at the late session of Cengrc ss he was the first to make a speech from the Democratic side looking to sou. •'' pacification through conciliation of and co-operation with the incoming Repuhh can administration. Doth houses of the Pennsylvania I < g islature have agreed to adjourn on the ?3d of Marc h and reassemble on the tirst Tuesday of January next year. The Senate has aboutt wo hundred an t the House about five hundred lull# on file, a large number being Intended t< modify or repeal existing general laws in order to meet special eases. The l"#a - ■ many of these bills wilt be likv yto1 n cfit the State. It is utterly uselc-a to send any new bills to llarrisburg. An effort w as made by Mr. Jackson ; Mercer to allow bilN not disposed oftlvs session t * be carried over to next y ear. but tail ed, Por doing nothing,this legis .dure w.-.- a perfect success. Mr. Haves, w ho was not elected, in his inaugural recommends a constitutional amendment fixing the presidential term it six years,and forbidding a re-election, if the Reporter had been consulted, it would have suggested that he al>o re commend an amendment to prevent any one li.A ejected to have even one term. The rentisylvawia'niJiiwl pr-*nre have Don Cameron retained a.- S c'y of War, has .vme to nothing. The Came rons jret nothing— Penney Ivaui.i breech es f: ml no lodgment in a cabinet chair. Simon can now pout, and Don hang h - snout, and daddy and son canswearthat Hayes has queer ways. 1: was lXin who forced Have-' nomi nation at Cincinnati and now Richard Thompson, of Terre Haut is SccV of War. The Camerons by this time, may think, like a great many others, that Haves is a fraud after all.

A writer in the Morning Patriot re commends Hon. Clias. Mayer, of thi judicial district, for Supreme Judge. A purer and abler judge could not be found. In this district he has the confi dence of men of all parties, and he would receive an almost nnaniipous vote. We stated iu last week's Reporter that the democratic column in the senate was fust growing to the size of the radical column, and may soon be a head higher. A World correspondent of S, says that fiie democratic column has not stood so high in the I'aited States senate for seventeen yearsjas it stood to-day. It cast thirty-four votes against thirty-nine ro ' publican votes, requiring only a change of three from the latter side to destroy its political majority. If two senators from Louisiana and one from South Car olina are secured to the democrats, the republicans will have but two majority in the body, and it is quite sure that they cannot maintain more than three if.* nth Carolina is given to them. For all practical party purposes, how ever, their majority is pone now, as was shown in the vote yesterday referring the Ixiuisiana case, and as will be shown hereafter in questions arising out of the present complications. An examina Ton of the listof republican senators who go out with the Forty-fifth congress shows unmistakably that after the 4th of March. 1579, the senate will be demo cratic. A set of thieves stole some goods and brought it to their chief to receive their reward. The chief accepted the stolen goods, end then kicked the thieves out oftbe back door. This don't have re-' ference to the Mortons, Camerons, and j Chandlers, who stole the presidency, which they brought to their chief Hayes, who accepted it, and then refused to give them the expected cilices as their reward. Hayes has turned upon the leaders of his party and Ihev are turning u|>on him. In another column of this issue of the Reporter will be found a sketch of the reception Haves' cabinet appoint ments and his southern policy net with on the first and second days of his ad mini-tration. Scripture says there is no rest for the wicked. HISTORY REPEATER. History does repeat itself. Ia the Joe Ritner campaign Peg Peaty and the Stonebreakers were called into re quisition by the enemies of the democ racy. In the Hayes campaign Flizn • Pinkston and Madison Wells were in vented. 77 Mortem in bis contempt ot consistency. The appointment of Pari Schurt i#al#o the discharge of a personal debt. It i# the price jwtid for P e repudiation > ' tl , Fifth arenue conference and sulw . ecretary Bristow, owing to ax-urances that he could not be confirmed by the Senate. And the reason why the senate would refuse to confirm Brittow is because he was the only true man in Grant's cabinet and prosecuted the whisky thieves, for which he had to leave the cabinet. Even Grant does not take a great tikning to the cabinet of Fraudulent Hayes. loist week it was said in Wash ington that the feeling among Republi cans against the greater part of the new Cabinet is best shown in the conduct of ex-President Grant, who busied hiitiM-lf in the retiring-rooms of the Senate in talking to Senators againt the confirma tion ofSchurx; while General Butler was more openly on the floor of the cham ber, denouncing to Mr. Conkling and others the appointment of Mr IVvens. The feelingof the Camerons has taken the form of real grief. Young Don has abandoned his impudent airs, and the old gentleman has not worn so troubled a look these manv davs. The people of Monticello, X. Y., like people generally all through the country seem to have lost all regard for the U. S. j Supreme judges, the S, who disgraced I themselves in putting the cap sheaf on the late presidential theft,by ru!ing"that no evidence of fraud be received." The people of Monticello showed their in donation on Gby banging the judges in effigy. A telegram gives the following account of it: Justice Miller, Bradley were banged in effigy in the park in front of the Conrt House. Strong was hanged on the right, Bradley in the centre and Miller on the left. The in scription on the placard attached to Jus tice Strong was "I want God in the Con stitution;" that on Justices Miller, 'Throw conscience to the devil, fraud reigns su preme;" and that on Bradley, "Xo man worthy of the office of President should b-willing to hold it if counted in or placed there by fraud;" "I am crucified between two thieves." There will be a Judge of the Supreme Court, Auditor General and State Treasurer to elect next Xovember. There is a bill before the legislature requiring engineers of twenty horse power engines to take out license before they can be permitted to follow their avocation. Such a law may have a good effect and nrevent many accidents from explosion by steam boilers, because their management is too often entrusted to men who know nothing about them, or the principles of steam. It is thought by manv that the law should apply to smaller engines, because one often horse power will often produce disastrous re sults, and occasion great havoc, if not properly managed. According to an official statement of the Servian War Minister, the Servians jost 8,000 killed and]2o,ooo wounded dur ing the late war. It. L. Holland, the Chambersburgbank robber, was sentenced Monday morning to eight years' separate and solitary con finement at hard labor in the Eastern Penitentiary. The trial for jail, break ing was proceeded with all day Monday, and in the evening the jury retired and found the prisoner guilty. He has not been sentenced yet. He will now be tried for grand larceny. Tho most prominent candid ate* for Sherman's place in the Senate lire Stanley Matthews, Congressman Garfield, cx- Gov. Noyrs, Judge Taft, A:.rn F. Perry, Samuel Shellabarger. The real fight, however, is practically narrowed down to Matthews and Garfield, and the chance* are in Matthews favor. It is announced that the Fust National hunk <>l Northumberland will close up it* b i.rinets there being no profit in it. The oil country appea's to be overstock ed with laborers. The Edenburg Hcruld say- about one person in fifteen seeking eraploymczit at that point gets it. Scburz and Key owed their cqpr matiou to the voles of democratic senators. Verily Hayes it stabled in his own house. .YA'II ltlSi WI. Jill* I roll. .I:KVT I.\l its MI nt IN MKI\N •> Ni \ l'KNV<\ 1 \ IMA. ltnulford, MeKean Count) Pu .

Fourteen years ago Job Moses who hail made a fortune in patent medicine* came froai Rochester into the valley, and after prospecting along its stieains betiirue satistie.l that they tl>wd ' thrv ugh a rich oil district, lie settled at Limestone, and . btaining control of large tracts of land, put down several well#, lie found indications of oil, but no oil. In spite of the derision of his neighbors, and the i osiuvc declaration# j of geologists and experts that he .e wasting hts inonev, Le is ntinned his j test# until his means were exhausted. ! Slis great faith ill 'lie existence of oil in the region, however, had induced other j capitalist# to investigate and two years igo the "aaud" we.# found, and oil flowed iin abundance.

Within a distance of four mile# three flourishing towns have sprung into existence, and the town ol Bradford, formerly consisting of a lurn t>erman's tavern ami a few scattered farm-houses, now ha# 3,500 inliahi : tanta. It is u singular fact that wbile the early operator in the Bradford region could not str.ke anything but "drv holes," the present drilling is followed bv the re verse. Gut of the hundreds of wells put i down not half a Jojen have proved j failures. At Glean and other poiutit iu i Cattaraugus County, and as farinto Alle gany as tuba, wrellsare being sunk. The oil of the Bradford district is found at a greater depth than in the old region. Some wells are as deep as 1 ,4 feet, but the average depth is 1,100. The "second sand" of Bradford is the third, or oil* bearing sand, of the lower districts. Wells that were drilled by the first op erators iu the valley to the depth of the "holes' in the original tcrriL ry, and then abandoned, have been dri!h 1 deeper and the oil-rock found. Another peculiarity of the Bradford we'isis that none of them arc what they call large producing, the average W : ng about ten barrels a day. This fa t, i -tead of be ing a delriiueut, as the people in the low er regions affirm, i- claimed to be an advantage by the Bradford operators. They argue that the territory being large 1 and the wells small the danger of ex haustion is much less than it is i* in the lower torrit ry where the oil urea- art small and the wells large producer*.

LIVELY SKI KM ISH IN A CHURCH. Brothers and Sister* indulging in the Ways of the Ungodly. According to the lies li-ig Esg'e a rath er lively skirmish occurred in that town , on !HI Sunday Evening, the theatre of : of the disturbance being the Church of the "Algemeine llrueder in Chrlsto." | About a year ago Messrs Leaman arid Matthews were ordained a- preacher- in tho denomination. Recently the ROT. Mr. Seagritt, the founder of the sect, wrote to ltev. William, Scbasfler the pas* tor in charge, not to a''w Loaman or Mnttbews t>> speak in the church u mini-- ters of the Algemeino llrueder. The two tabooed reverends appeared in the church at the beginning of the service# and heard the letter publicly road. At the close of the service Matthews entered the pulpit •nd asked tho people lo remain, as he had somthir.g to say. Brother Scha-ffcr invi ted him to "shut up." One Ntephen Wal ter ordered to get "down and out," whereupon ane Faust took Waiter by the throat and commenced a choking process. A hundred young men rtirh.d to tha pulpit to sec fair play. In the meantime a Mrs. Kissinger and a Mi.-* Gaul had a set to, and 51 iss (iaul was sent to grass by a square knock-down from the opponent. A woman fainted, women and children screamed, tlo ladies who had babes in their arms escaped fr >m the church as quickly as possible, to save themselves and children from being hurl, and ltev. Loam an and Matthews, and Messrs. Ames Gaul, Henry Fisher and other officers and members of tho Church dashed out of tho rear door near the pulpit and left the premises. During tho course of this lively tilt a policeman appeared in tbeichurch butlheyoungmcn ordered him > to "clear out," and ho cleared, as the odds were decidedly against him.
