THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1879.
Republican SUte Convention.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania,
and all others to favor of an Honest
Currency and the faithful discharge of
National Obligations, and opposed to
Communism and the Restoration to
Power In the National Government of
the Influences which produced the Re
bellion of 1861, are requested to send
delegates apportioned to their repre
sentation In the Legislature, to a Con
vention to meet a Harrlsburg, at 12
M. on the 28b day or July next, to
nominate a candidate for State Treas
urer, and transact such other business
as may be brought before It
M. fl. QUAY,
Chairman State Committee,
Philadelphia, June 9, 1879.
The will of the late William Lloyd
Garrison, after giving $800 to each of
his grand-children, bequeaths the rest
of his property to his five children, to
be equally divided.
It Is said to be decided that the
Silver bill shall remain in the hands
of the Senate Finance Committee,
and that, accordingly, Mr. Bayard will
not resign his chairmanship. The
ultra silver men will endeavor to have
the bill put on the calendar to be taken
up In December.
The alarm over the negro exodus
from Mississippi has led to the holding
of a public meeting at Caseyville in
that State, where two hundred citizens
assembled, and the speakers denounced
the lawlessness that had prevailed In
the neighborhood for ten years. An
other meeting is soon to be held at the
same place to form military companies
to enforce the laws.
The original Anti-Slavery Society
In this country was organized in 1832,
and was known as the New England
Anti-Slavery Society. Its officers were
as follows: President, Arnold Buffum;
Vice-Presidents, James C. Odiorne,
Alonzo Lewis; Treasurer, Michael
S'mpson; Corresponding Secretary,
William Lloyd Garrison; Recording
S jcretary, Joshua Coffin. All of these,
ic is said, are dead.
Mr. Carroll D. Wright, of the
Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics, is
Compiling the facts regarding crimes
fn that State In order to answer the
question whether crime Is increasing.
He says that the assertions of the pub
lic speakers for the last twenty years
are the result of guesswork, and the
compilation will deal with the subject
exhaustively and settle the question
as clearly as that regarding unem
ployed labor was settled last year.
At the funeral of General James
Shields in Carrollton, Mo., the two
swords presented to him by the States
of Illinois and South Carolina for gal
lantry in the Mexican War were
crossed over the coffin. The gift of
Illinois cost $2,000 and that of South
Carolina $8,000, aud both are richly
studded with jewels. The immediate
cause of General Shield's death was
the opening of the old wound received
by him at the battle of Cerro Gordo.
At the last election In Callaway
county, Mo., a man was elected Pro
bate Judge after a cauvass In which he
rau on an Independent ticket with the
agreement, that, if chosen, he would
accept only a specified amount of the
fees pertaining to the office and would
turn the rest over to the school fund.
His defeated opponent Instituted pro
ceedings ogainst him, and the State
Supreme Court has decided that a
" vote given for a candidate for a pub
lic office in consideration of his prom
ise in ease lie shall be elected to donate
a sum of rhoney or other valuable
thing to a third party, whether such
party be an iudividual, a county or
other corporation, is void."
A little son of the Rev. B. C. Spil
ler, of the Methodist church near
Richmond, Va., met with a terrible
death June 10. A man was hauling
manure from the barnyard to the
field with an ox team, and while he
was in the rear of the wagon loading
the child went In front of the ox, hav
ing in his hand a large red handker
chief. The ox seeing this become
maddened, and dashed at the little fel
low and gored him. The man ran to
rescue the child from the infuriated
animal, but before he reached him the
ox broke and ran, trampling the child
under its feet, and turning suddenly
In annotber direction, brought the
child into the track of the cart-wheels,
which passed over him and crushed
him to death.
The Next Census. The secretary
of the interior, on or before the first
day of March, 1880, will appoint one
or more supervisors of census for each
State, but the whole number in the
States and Territories shall not exceed
130. These supervisors shall appoint
the enumerators for the various coun
ties of the State. Any county exceed
ing 4,000 in population shall be divided'
into districts so that no district shall
contain more than 4,000 inhabitants.
These enumerators shall begin their
duties on the first Monday . in
June, 1880, and finish their work be
for the first day of July, 1880, thus
requiring the work to be done in leas
than thirty days. The compensation
will be two cents for each inhabitant :
two cents cents for each death reported
teu cents for each farm, and 15 cent
for each establishment of productive in
dustry. Application for appointment
us enumerators oiuit be addressed to
the supervisors of the State when appointed.
Washington Letter.
From onr regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, June 28.
A little more foolishness and grab
bing and balr-spllttlng among Con
gressmen has disappointed those who
hoped for an adjournment of Congress
this week. It would be wrong to
charge the responsibility of all the
foolishness of this session upon either
party, for both are certainly mora or
less to blame; but It Is oertain that so
much petty squabbling was never
crammed Into one short session before.
The time was, I suppose, when Con
gress came together to consider the
best interests and greatest wants of the
country, and to devise means of meet
ing them; but in these latter days the
Interests of ' political parties are the
ends aimed at It Is one constant
struggle for one party to get an advan
tage over the other, no matter how it
Is gained.whether by falsehood or gross
misrepresentation, or by downright
fraud. One-half the speeches made In
the houses of Congress and there is
an endless flow of gab are insecure
harrangues, whose authors know their
own statements to be unfair and un
true. The people at large really care
very little for parties. It is the men
that live by politics who make all the
fuss, and for selfish ends strive to keep
alive sectional hatreds and all sorts of
animosities and prejudicles. The
country is in a reasonably sound con
dition, notwithstanding the loud warn
ings of revolution and new rebellious,
and smashing of constitutions. There
would be a much firmer feeling in
business circles If Congress would go
away and stay away for nine months
or a year. Perhaps not one in ten of
those who read this has ever stopped
to think what the result of all this
will be where this Indifference of the
people and activity and scheming of
the politicians will eventually lead us.
Doubtless a greater proportion than
nine out of every ten expect that this
great Republic will celebrate its second
Centennial.
Speaking of the National Centennial
reminds me that the regents of the
Mount Vernon Ladies' Asssciation,
composed of regents from the various
States, have just held their annual
session and made a report of what has
been done about the old homestead of
General Washington. During the
year ending June 1 there has been
11,000 visitors, 2,107 of which were
there during the month of May this
year the largest number ever received
in that month. There are under culti-
nation 18 acres of corn, eight of rye,
seven of oats, and ten of grass. Over
$12,000 were expended during the year
in repairs, which Is exclusive of the
work done by the vice regents of Illi
nois and Ohio. A noticeable improve
ment at Mount Vernor is the refur
nishing of the apartment formerly
nsed by Miss Nellie Custis as a music
room. This was done by Mrs. Broad
well, of Ohio, and is known as the
Ohio room. It contains the harpsi
chord which belonged to Miss Custis,
and which was presented to heron her
wedding day by General Washington.
The entire furnishings of the room,
even to the peculiar lambrequins, are
correct copies of the originals. Even
the mantel vases are of the old royal
Berlin China, procured at no small
cost, because it is known that two sim
ilar vases were also in this room. A
handsome cabinet contains a Tokio
incense jar and Cupo di Monti
cup and saucer, of great value, while a
large Venetian mirror rests against the
eastern wall. General Washington's
flute, mounted in ivory and silver, pre
sented to the association by Mrs.
Washington, of West Virginia, has
been restored to its original position in
this room. The furniture is covered
with aac simile of the cloth which
was used when the room was occupied
by the Washington family. The reHcs
added during the year include a suit of
General Washington's clothes, worn
by hiin when he delivered his farewe 1
address. They are of black velvet,
worn when he was in mourning for his
mother. The suit was deposited by
Mrs. Charle T. Mitchell, of Charles
ton, S. C, asisterof Mrs. Washington,
of West Virginia, vice regent, and a
great-great-grand-niece both of Gen
eral and Mrs. Washington. The vice
regent of West Virginia will complete
the suit by adding the sword which!
was worn with it.
A movement is on foot to hold the
first exhibition of the National Fair
Association this fall, with every pros
pect of success. Last year Congress
passed an act incorporating such an
association, and it is proposed by the
incorporators to utilize the ground at
Benui'g Station, near the city, where
there is already an excellent race
track. Undoubtedly such an enter
prise would excite general interest,
and prove of great benefit to the
people at large. Especially in the
matter of mechanical inventions and
improvements, no place in the country
Is so suitable for an exhibition.
Thousands of men interested in such
matters come here annually to visit
the J'utent Office and they could, with
no extra expense and little additional
trouble, contribute to this display il
lustrating the genius and industry of
the country. The National Capital is
the great natural centre visited by
people from every quarter, and the
idea of adding such an exhibition to
its attractions will become a very pop
ular undertaking.

of Turkey to General Grant have been

How the Oil Came.
A correspondent of the Clinton
Dtmotrat, writing from Hyner, gives
the following description of bow the
oil was forid through the flps Js
Wllliamsport. He says: 1
distance pnoM hyner.
As the pip line is within seven
miles of Hyner, It being the nearest
point to the railroad along the whole
lino, a abort description of the oil's
first advent may not prove uninterest
ing, especially, when we reflect upon
the Ingenuity of man lu lifting oil
over two thousand feet from below the
surface of the earth, and conveying it
scores of miles over mountains of great
height and almost purpendlcular.
Many were the conjectures among us
rustics as to whether the oil would
flow up a steep mountain, even for the
sake of getting to Wllliamsport. Most
of us divined It would not but our
predictions proved erroneous. Mr.
Ntfer, who lives on the pike, tells us
how the oil came In this wise. "I was
coming along up the pike when I met
a man ; says be ,
THE OIL IS COMING!"
It seems when they first started the
oil they dispatched men to follow
right along to see that all went well.
The man Mr. Nlfer met was one of
them. He had got ahead of the oil.
"Well, says Mr. Nlfer, "I had a dog
and so had be. Well, we lay down
close by the pipe, but the dogs lay
some distance off. We all remained
there some thirty minutes, when the
dogs jumped up as though they were
frightened. I thought it was a deer. I
then beard the pipe begin to sound,
and the man said the oil was coming.
I sprang to my feet and heard the oil
rushing by. I knew then it was a
reality." Mr. John Ward, one of the
watchmen, also gave us an account
The line crosses Hayner's run, or its
headwaters, at a place called McClure's
Springs. Here there is quite a hol
low or depression In the ground.
From this place to the residence ofMr.
Holding, some six miles beyond,
there Is a gradual rise; this the oil had
to climb after passing the hollow at
the springs. Mr. Ward says: "I was
told to watch well this hollow, as the
oil had ascended Kettle Creek moun
tain and was coming. I repared to the
hollow and lay some hours there,
when I heard a sound like a heavy
wind and presently heard
THE OIL GURGLING PAST.
I waited some time. There was no
leakage and all seemed perfect. I
thought the pipe line was a success,
for sure, and so left my position and
passed along to see if it were all right
ahead. I had gone some two miles
when I received a dispatch to watch
well the hollow and not to leave it for
some time, so I hastened bock.
Ijmagin my astonishment when I saw
the place I bad left such a short time
before so tame, now hissing at ten 1
thousand points. Jets of oil were
flying twenty feet high and hundreds
of barrels flowing down Hyner's r.uu
never to see a market. I thought the
pipe was gone up, sure. At first I was
afraid to approach it, but soon grew
valiant, and with calking chisel I set
to work to stop the leak. I made poor
headway, It was a dark night, and
I dared have no light I had taken
off my coat, the whizzing oil carried
away my hat, and I very soon became
thoroughly drenched with oil. My
pockets and my hair and eyes were
full, and if I was not then
AN OIL MAN,
I would like to know what constitutes
one. I at length grew sick and sup
posed I would have to give up and all
would be lost, when all at once the
whizzing stopped, and, instead of an
out pressure, I could hear an in draw
inga succtiou of air. I now realized
the fact that the oil had all this time
been climing the up-trade to Mr
Holding's, but was uow on the decent
for Pine Bottom run. This caused a
suction, and relieved the hollow at the
springs. I again waited some hours,
when I received a dispatch to hasten
to Hayneville, that the pipe was burst
ing I procured a nurse and went
with all speed. When I arrived the
people there were greatly excited.
The pipe was throbbing and whizzing
at every pore. McClures springs were
nowhere! The oil was spouting from
the pipe for miles. I made no attempt
to calk. I knew from my experience
at McClure's Springs that the oil bad
reached and was climbing the
HIGH MOUNTAIN BELOW PINE CHEEK,
but the pressure was so great that I
feared every moment the pipe would
burst. Here was a force aguiust which
human power was of no avail, hence.
we only stood and looked on, when
suddenly, as quick as thought, all
commotion ceased, except a sucking
in of air, and I heard the air pass
rapidly along the pipe and knew it
bad crossed over the mountain and
was speeding Its way to Williamsport,
with no more mountains to climb, and,
that the oil line was an established
fact."
A new counterfeit $5 legal tender
note has made rU appearance in West
em New York. It is of the series of
1875, and bears the names of Register
Allison and Treasurer Wyman. It is
executed on a printed imitation of fibre
paper which is lighter than the gen
uine. The portrait of Jackson is good,
but the general appearanoe of the note
is bank. Bankers pronounce it a dan
gerous counterfeit. A quantity of this
spurious money was passed ou Satur
day at Buffalo, N. Y., and later several
of the shovers were arrested at Dun
kirk. The notes were probably Issued
from some Canadian folnt, as the per
sons arrested were traced from Canada
and had In their possession a quantity
of small bills on Canadian banks
which were genuine the proceeds
probably of operations there with
bad notes.
