Ill) Tbe follewlng eonimimlcation from Mr. J H. M.rslon, Esq., of Oil City, explaina It self, and we cheerfully give place to it in justice to blm. Tbe letter wat tent us from Cberrytree, aud we considered it merely at n inquiry in regard to tbe matter, and in-' erted it at snob wliboat comments, not having any Idea of doing that gentlemau an injustice or wrong : Oil Citt, Marsh 18, 1872. Ed. Record: I notice ao article lo you, paper this morning designed lo place me before tbe publie as a very black sheep among a white Hock or taints, or intended to hurt my feeliugi In revenge f.tr some Jm aginary wrong. I did uot sign the Sunday pledge for the reason that in consultalioo a mouth ago with our Supfc with tbe design to ttop tbe wellt on Suudeys lor economy and rest ta the men, be informed me it could not be done with the large boilers, at lung strings of pip wat laid in hot weather, to, Ao., but said It would not entail any loss of oil to stop for three days at a time. I waa not aoxloua to get any one to atop on Sua. day. I did not ask any ooe to- sign tbe Sunday pladge. All my efforts were direct. 1 to suspending tbe drilllog for 60 days, and from tbat courts ooly ean the produc tion be kept from exoeeding tbe demand and consumption. I only dsveted about fifteen minutes In calling attention to tbla ' auspention pledge, and it teems there was erne one csugbt, wbo feels sore over It. We bave now seven boilers in operation on Cherry teee Run;, we run two only on Sun dys. So my answer lo the srtlole is tbat It is every part untrue and an anonymous libel. Respectfully yours, Jos. II. Mahstok. Niw Wexl A new well waa ttrook on the McDooougb farm, near Foster Station, about tea days since, wbioh It yielding 10 Cartels per day.

Juat at we were going lo press, tbe fir cm collapsed, consequently tbe paper li behind hDd. Had it not been fur that first-class machinist, Mr. John Shay, of the Arm ol Fiaber, Norria Jfc Co., who repaired the damages speedily and substantially, we fear the Record would bare bee non eat en comatlbui, for tbia night at least. Eliza Pert, Annie Murphy and Mrs. Hill wig, three frail sisters, and James JJradjt an advocate of woman's rights, all residents I Poverty Row, held consultation last night, and unanimously came to thu con clusion that St. Patrick was as good a man as Fourth of July, and resolved to do Ire land's patron taint justice and honor bis memory by having a little jamboree. James was appointed a committeo of one to pro cure two quarts of the "good old stuff, " and anon St. Patrick's blessing was Invoked In not ooe "bowl of poteheen" hut many. As spirits went down their spirits rose, and they grew hilarious to tuoh an extent that the aid ot Constable Walters had to be lu veited by the neighbors to quiet tbe sisters and brothers, which was done by his turn ing what was left of the "ereetur" on la tbe ground. This morning tbe festive crowd woke with sore heads, and tent for a lew gallons of ale to '-top off" on. Their fun was brought to a sudden close, bewever, by officers Wallers and McIIuga, wbo arretted tbe whole party except Brady, wbo desert ed tbe woman's rights cause and took leg bail, lor being drunk aud disorderly. Tbey were brought before Justice Rey nolds, wbo Deed the gentle Annie $2,00 and costs; tbe beauteous Ellis, $1,00 and coals and 30 days in tbe county jail. Hillwin, on promising lo vacate tbe raucue, was tat tree. Thus ended St. Palrick't jubilee. In tbe House, on Friday, Judge Scofield rained a double-shotted gun at tbe Snutb ern Improvement Company, wblch tbat corporation will doubtless receive as an un pleasant notification that tbe buying ot tbe Pennsylvania Legislature doe not give them power to plunder the people with en tire ;fmnoity. By fluoenfmous content, Mr. Scofield offered a resolution, which wat adopted, lottructing tbe Committee on Com. merce, lo oarrylng out tbe resolution of tbe House, on tbe 21th of Jannary, directing certain inquirtet concerning lojurlei to com. merce by reason of railroad combinations or monopolies, to inquire particularly Into tbe nature, extent, and objects of ao alleged combination of railroad interests known at tbe Son t hero Improvement Company, de signed lo control all the avenues of trans portation from tbe oil regions In Pennsyl vania totbe sea-board, to tbe oppression and Injury of tbe producing classes.

The objectionable proviso to tbe free pipe bill has been repealed and the bill as It originally stood it now a law. Another nail in the oofSo of the monopoly. Allah be praised! V. Oil Men's League. One of the model retorted to by tbe peo pie ol the oil region-to protect themselves agaiost tbe encroaebmeots ef monopolies is tbe formation of a secret tooie ty called tbe Oil Men't League ol Pennsylvania. Itt ab ject is to control tbe votet of tbe oil region and thus- compel our law-givers lo act as tbey should in juetico toward us. Tbe League baa met with great favor to fart Brancbet ol if bave been organized at several poiots, and before another month its Influence will be great enough to com mand the balance ol political power lo tbe State. It is not a political machine to be used by cliques and riogs. It ia simply tbe votes of tblt lection combined to root out al corruption tbat affecta tbe 'Oil region holding a rod overUyi polltietl" parties o tbe State. lreitbr,lhe Democratic party or tbe Republican parly chooses to send oorrupt men to tbe Pennsylvania Legisla ture, it must do so with the full knowledge of the existence of tbit League aud Itt pow er. At surely at wa bave an election in tbit State next fall, just as postively will be people of tbe Pennsylvania Oil Region vote, almost solidly against any ticket upon which it found men arrayed on tbe tide of railroad monopolies aod against tbe inter ests of our people. And that vole is great enough to control the State. It tbe Oil Men's League Is successful In Itt alms, at we believe it will be tbe people of tbe State, nod perhapt tbe Natioo, will bave caute to thank ua lor Initiating a breaking down of railroad and other corpor ate corruptiont all over the land.

Stand firm. Be patient for a few weeks longer, and we shall be all right again. Escb and every man must sea to it, tba the Southern Improvement Company don't get a tingle barrel of oil, for tbe next ten days, and tbe battle it won. We can break tbeir railroad contractt by tbat time, aud and tbem tee. But there Is one thing we would impres, upon tbe minds of our people. Be calm and moderate. Up to tbia time tbe couduct el our people bat been admirable. Let no act of violence he counselled now. We bave the respect and sympathy ol every right minded person. We must not forfrit It by any act of ours. The membera of tbe South eru Improvement Company, bave the same rights as any otber vltitert to tbe Oil Re gions, and mutt have tbe tame courtesy ac corded to tbem in all instances. Let us do up our work openly, and in a manner wor thy of our reputation, and our cause will be all tbe better for it. Oil City Register Monday. A woman waa arrested in Camden the otber day for whipping ber husband in tbe streets. And served ber right, too.
