BBpfiaxism ox Oil Creek —A few weeks ago
ruffianism prevailed On OH Greek to such, an ex
tent as to make travelling,or even existing, any
where between Titusville and Oil Ulty a somewhat
hazardous experiment. Following the speculators
from the Eastern cities, who came with an abun
dance of money, these rufflanß came formurder and
plunder. They are the sourn of the worst of.-orea
tlob, And evidently thought they had the best field
for operations ever presented. They were mista
ken,.however. The rapid and efficient organization
of patrol forces and vigilance committees put a sud
den quietus upon their arraußomentsrand now they
are the party whoso lives are in the greatest danger.
This class of ruffians dress as gentlemen. They are
the first to meet the stranger on his arrival in that
eeotlon of the country, and are ready to show him
the sights and wonders of the oil region In order to
find an opportunity to rob the unwary. These meh
lead desperate lives, their ordinary mode Of liveli
hood being made up of drinking and gambling. We
hdve been Informed of numerons robberies and at
tempts at robberies by these desperadoes, all of
which are of recent date, and should be a warning
to tlioso who are obliged to go to the oil regions on
business. OHato, however, things have assumed a
more gratifying appearance, ana It Is to be hoped
that ere long this nuisance will be abolished alto

A Host after Treasure.— The Louisville
Journal of Wednesday says that, a few- days before,
an Indian, accompanied by two white men,'arrived
In that city from Minnesota, bringing with them a
map of Beargrasa oreek from its month to where
Broadway now crosses It and the hill known as
Preston’s Woods. It Is said to be a correct diagram
of the oountry thereabouts, picturing every, tree,
hollow, pond, etc., which might, have been seen
there three generations since. That portion of the
map which indicates the thick woods and ponds is
now the upper part of the city. The object of the
Indian’s visit and map Is to recover a valuable
treasure which his ancestors had buried on the bank
of the ereek some place below where Broadway
crosses it, and at the foot of the hill. The treasure,-
It is said, oonslstg of gold to the value of two mil
lions of drilare. We heard yesterday that the party
had aotuallv begun to institute searoh for the Stas',
and the Indian was engaged in Stepping off the dis
tance from tho river as his map directed him.
A Mouxtaix of Salt.ib St. Dojnxao.—While
salt in rebeldom fares hard at the hands ofiour raid
ers, salt elsewhere is treated with high considera
tion. Our readers will be Interested in the follow
ing foots. In the south side of St. Domingo, to the
firovlnco of Azna, Is the most singular salt deposit
obe fonndih the world. From an intelligent gen-'
tleman recently there, and a document Issued by a
New York, company, we learn that there Is here a
mountain of salt six miles long, from one-half to a
mile wide, and from four to five hundred feet high.
In some places, where the sides of the mountain are
nearly perpendicular, lsirge cliffs of salt are exposed
to view, while in other parts a coating of earth,
from ten to thirty feet deep, covers she salt. This:
salt In its crude state contains 86.7 s per cent, pure
salt. By the skill and energy of Dr. Hatch, of Oon- -
nectlont, grants have .been .obtained of the Spanish
Government, and the way is being opened forbrlng
ing this immense treasure of salt to the markets qf
the world. A railroad, some twenty miles to length,
Is to be constructed, which will bring the salt to the
little port of Baralfona.
Ax Aboikht Garmext,— A lady named Doolit
tle, living In Painesvillo, Ohio, has to her posses

THE X. L. GAB WORKS,
A communication was received from A. Miskey,
president 01 the trustees of the Gas Works, urging
the necessity of purchasing the Northern Liberties
Gas Works. .
Mr, H arfbr presented a communication from
the trustees of the Northern Liberties Gas Works,
setting forth that, agreeably to their charter, they
presented a statement of the receipts and disburse
ments of the past year, with the previous outlay of
capital, as follows: -

The report sets forth that they now furnish gaß,
to private parties at *3.25 per thousand, and for the
public lamps at *1 62% per thousand, being on every
five thousand feet 37R cents less than the price now
oharged by the Philadelphia Gas Works.
The charter of the Northern Liberties Gas Works
provides that 11 It shall and may be lawful for the
Commissioners of the incorporated District of the
Northern Liberties at any time after the first day of
Jnly, 1565, to take possession of the works of said
company and convert the stock of said company
Into a loan, redeemable in fifteen years from the date
of suoh conversion, bearing interest at the rate of six
per oent. perannum, payablehalfyearly.» Whether
it’would best serve the publieinterest for the City of
Philadelphia to purohase these works immediately
upon the privilege to do so is a question for which the
trustees ask the serious deliberations of Councils.
Action too hasty may prove very unwise. By those
familiar with the object it is believed that better
and cheaper gas would be uniformly famished to the
citizens of the district, and more money .annually
paid into the city treasury, by an arrangement with
the company, extending its corporate existence for
a further specified term of years, than if the works
be possessed at the earliest possible moment by the
City of Philadelphia. The ameuntof loans created
for the purpose and use oi all works under the gas
trust up to this time is not less than $3,876,060. The
report of the trustees of January, 1864, an*
nouncos that the first three city loans contracted for
the construction and extension of the gas works,
amounting to *476,000, have been paid off out of the
sinking fund, and the sum of *994,461 was in Die
sinking fund at that time, applicable to the'redomp
tion of gas logins as they shall mature. Henoeit is
argued that the days of large profits on the manu
facture and-sale of gas are passed, and that the hope
of paying off the loans created for purchasing gas
works are without much foundation. The trustees
desire and recommend that the City of Philadelphia
refrain from purchasing the works of this company
for at least ten years from the first day of July
next, provided an agreement ean he had with
stockholders of a character, to this effect: That
during the term whieh maybe decided upon the
Northern'Liberties Gas 'Company shall charge no
more for gas to private consumers, and may charge
no less for public lamps, than charged at the same
time by the Trustees of the City Gas Works, andfor
whieh extension of time and privilege the company,
after first paying a dividend of six per cent, per an
num to the stockholders, shall pay annually. If the
profits amount to snffloient, two per cent, perannum
into the City Treasury on the amount of oapital
employed in operating the worts, the city to retain,
as hitherto, a representation in the Board of Trus
tees of equal number to that elected by the stock
holders.
Both communications were referred to the Com
mittee on Gas. . ■ *.

Arthur McDonald and John Kelley, Inspectors of
tii* Seywttt diTUtati semt*«attiwM4,»fteo mm-
Hon for Eleotors tor President of the United states,
were charged with misdemeanor.
William Carson testified that he was to Philadel
phia on the day of the Presidential election, and
was at the division spoken of; went to vote, having
a ticket, but McDonald stopped me; my father was
with me at tho time.
On cross-examination witness said howiitoldt*
get some one to prove his age, and he could vote.
He did not do so.
John Carson sworn.—William Carson Is my son
he was twenty-one years of age onthe 28th of Oc
tober last; I We&t to the window with him and was
asked If I was a citizen of tho United States ; oil
replying to the negative 1 was told that I could not
swear there, and the tloket was handed to my boy,
the officer refusing to reoelve It.
On cross examination witness -said that he wai
asked If there was any one else who knew the age or
•the boy; he said there was, but witness could not
find tbe person tbat day; William was bom to the
Nineteenth ward.
The defendants called a number of witnesses to
prove that the inspectors said they would take the
vote If a responsible person vouohed.for the age of
Carson. They also gave the defendants a good
character. The question or ago was the only one
spohen of at the polls.
The Commonwealth claimed that under the law
the man William Carson was perfectly capable of
swearing to his age, and if say doubts remained,
then his father was eapable of testifying to the age
of his son, notwithstanding he was an alien. It
was maintained that a mother oonld testify to suoh
a case. The law says that a qualified voter shall
vouch for the residence of tho person who offers .to
vote, bnt in this case the only question was as to
age, the place of residence not bring referred to
at all.
The counsel for defendants cited from the deolsion
of Judge King, to the ease of H. B. Kheass,' to show
that It was necessary to have a qualified voter pre
sent with the appUoant to vote when he presents
himself at the polls.
The court charged that the offioers of the elections
were bounAby the. answers of the party applying
to vote, unless they were well satisfied to doubt his
statement, hy applying the proper tests, and then
they might go beyond the oath of the applicant.
The law, however, does not require that the party
making suoh oath should be a qualified voter. The
‘ father of the applicant, although an alien, was ca
pable of coming Into court and testifying to the age
of his son, and certainly he was equally eapable of
so'testifying berora election officers.- The law 1s
very-plain that the place of residence and time re
quired to reside In the State, one year, and to the
division ton days before the election, should be
proven by a qualified voter. If an honest mistake
had been made, the parties should bo acquitted , bnt
If the jury, believed they acted corruptly, and de
sired to keep a qualified voter fhom depositing Ms
ballot, then they should bo convlotod. If there was
a.toir and -manly doubt, however, It mnst be given
in fhvor-of the defendants.

Barley took me to a man at the place, bat he knew
nothing of It; and finally Harley acknowledged he

COLORED SOLDIER IX COURT.
Emellne Nichols, colored, was oharged with keep

August Stevenson testified that he enlisted to a
colored regiment and gave accused $225. After he
came book he gave her-$5O more, making $275 to all.
She waste pat the money to a savings bank. Wit
ness remained at her house a week,'when she told
him to either enlist, ship, or clear out, as she oonld
not keep him. He Said he was an orphan bay from the
South, and was going along Sixth street, when defen
dant oalled him and asked if he was, not oold and
hungry. She took him home, aad a week afterwards
he was. enlisted. All he ever got from her was a
pair of pants; a pair of boots, ana a pair of gloves.
On cross-examination the witness acknowledged
to defendant’s paying for a pistol $3.50, to paying $6
for costs, when he was arrested,' to paying a doctor’s
bill when he had the measles. .

me to take some for myself; she used to bring me
chickens to sell, and I sold some and eat some. I

admitted that defendant brought him eatables to

Jane Fnrnell testified to hearing defendant say
that she had $225 of the boy’s, and: after Re bad
gone away she intended to put what was left of It'

The Commonwealth abandoned the oase, the act
of Assembly applying to persons who receive from
the city or county the bounty lor volunteers. The
defendant, la this ease, received the money from
the volunteer himself.- 4 m
Tbe court said that this law was passed to apply
to brokers who received bounties for volunteers, and

THE SHOOTING CASE IN THE FIFTH WARD.
Josiah Franz, a soldier stationed at Camp Cad
walader, was arraigned at the Central Station yes
terday afternoon on the charge of shooting James
Ward. It Is necessary to state to this place, In
order that the readermay fully understand the case,
that a new recruit missed his clothing .and bounty
money, the same having been withheld or stolen
from liim. ttnci he, to company with a soldier,who'
was donated by the authority at Camp cadwalader,
proceeded to search for'the missing property.- This
is the reason why they were In such a notoriously
bad place as Dook and Water streets. The follow
ing evidence was elicited, from whloh the general
reader may form some Idea 'of the character of the
neighborhood:
*133,669 97
Reserve Offieer Riley sworn.—Last evening, at
qnarter before 8 o’clook, while standing on Water
street, above Walnut, I heard the report of fire
arms; there were two shots in quick succession; I
ran. down to a little alley sot far Rom Dock street:
saw Ward running into a house kept by a female
known as Stovepipe Annie; I caught hold of him
as he was about to enter the door, supposing that
he had discharged a pistolat some one; he Baia that
another fellow had fired at him, and was around the
comer; I went around and saw a soldier standing
there with a revolver in his hand; he said he lute
fired the pistol, and had good reason lor doing so;
he said ho had charge of a man, and had to take
him to. Camp Oadwalader; a party had made an
attack upon him, rescued the man, and fired at tee
soldier; and that the soldier immediately drew his
revolver.and fired back in self-defence.
.This Is the individual who was shot. The ball
Entered his left shoulder. His chin and under lip
were burned by the explosion of powder, showing
that he was very close to the pistol when it was dis
charged. We give his evidence verbatim. On being
sworn he said : I live at 148 Dock street; I tend bar
for me farther,Thomas; a man and me were in
Annie’s,inWather street,last night; don’t know
the exact time we were there; it was from 9to
10 o’clook; after we. got in at Annie’s a crowd
came in and commenced shoving about, and teen
went outside; I said to the man with me,
’’Let’B go and see what’s upas I was
getting around ' the comer of a little alley
tee man (soldier) said stand back, to me and the
other fellow; the other fellow is Staoy Roads; me
anddfim went out together; he (the soldier) said
stand back, and then fired, and I got shot; I don’t
know any of tee crowd that oame into Annie’s;!
don’t know where tee crowd was when the firing
took plaoe; the soldier was In the.orowd; the crowd
oame into Annie’s about ten or fifteen minutes after..
I got in; did not see any ofthem takeadrtak; did
not-hear teem say anything; they might have taken
something to drink, but I ted not see them; when
Stacy and me went out we went to see what was up;
I didn’t see hut one soldier; I might have seen him
before in tee evening. ■
Question. Now, don’t you know that he.had a sol
dier with hlm looking tor his. clothes and-bounty.
monev-1
A. I can’t remember; I think tee first, time Faaw
him was between 9 and is o’clock at Annie’s; lam
sore that‘l don’t know any of the crowd that came
in; I live about half a square Rom Annie’s; Staoy
Roads arid me just took, a walk round there to get a
drink; am-sure the crowd came in after we were
there ten or fifteen minutes; Staoy and me were by
our two selves.
Tiffs witness, rather a pleasant-featured man, on
being sworn, deposed as follows: I am a painter;
worked at Fourth and Race streets about two months
ago; live at Ward’s; I have never been in the ser
vice; I went to Annie’s last*night to get a drink;
there were three or four of us together; Ward was
one of the party; I don’t know the names of the
others who were with us; don’t know where
they live; I met them at Follook’s; we were
there drinking; then we all started.out to'get
another drink; I-can’t say there were six or
us, all told; can’t say what they were talking
about; It was near.eight o’clock when we went
to Annie’s; there was a row outside, heard some
girls; tee soldiers were in Annie’s when we
went in there; at least there were two men
there dressed in Bolteers’ clothes, when- tee row
took place all skedaddled; tee Soldiers went out
first-; I don’t know what took plgoe then; the
bar-tender , arid myself remained .inside s Oil tee
others went out; heard the report or a pis
tol, there were two reports; I did not go out with
Ward j I am certain I remained behind ; I am cer
tain there were others with Ward and myself; no
crowd oame into Annie’s after wo arrived there.
Qnes. « Was'Ward sober 1”
Ans. “Yes, sir.” -
Q. “ Were you sober 1”
A. -(Emphatically.) “Yes, sir.”
Q. “ Can you identify either of tee soldiers who

Q. “What kind of a disturbance took plaoe in
Annie’s 1”
A. “None at all."
Q. “ Sure of that 1”
A. “Certainly; there was a row outside; the
soldiers went out, and the others followed.”
At this Btage of the proceedings Ward wag again
called to the stand. “How la this,” said the magis
trate, “your friend says there was tto souffllng„ln
Annie’s; that no crowd came in alter you had en
tered)”
Ans. “ There was a crowd that oame in.”
Roads resumed.—Alter the soldiers went out two
girls were there; I was born and raised lnPhlladei
§hia; I never was In the army; I never enllßted; I
on’t know that the men who were with us were
ever in tee army.
Ward (recalled)—We were at the New England
House before we went to Annie’s; tee man who
keeps the house is called “Fad;” nobody was with
me besides Roads; lam sure of tiffs; lam certain
of it—am very cwtain; the erowd of fellows who
oame into Annie’s went outside and kicked up a
spree. -
Captain Charles B. Etting sworn.—l am stationed

Regiment; the defendant belongs there; yesterday
he was detailed to bring in a man named Kllduff; It
having been reported that bis clothes and bounty
were withheld by some one In town, he was detailed
to ascertain the truth of the report and who tee.
parties were; Franz has been stationed at Camp
oadwalader since bet winter; he has a most excel
lent character; his position Is one or great responsi
bility and trust; this is the reason why he is kept
there.
. The investigation here closed. The magistrate
said that, under .the circumstances, a citizen being
shot in the public streets, it was his duty to return
the case to court. The defendant must enter ball
in the sum of *5OO. The <mae ean be heard on a
writ of habeas corpus, so that the decision of the
judge may be obtained at an earlier period than the
day of trial. ' ’

pened to he present as a listener of the proceedings.
The defendant is a good-looking man, abstemious

sufficient room to put down one hundred (100) wells, or
more, which is a larger amount of boring surface than
owned by any other company in this section of the.oil
region.
: About the centre of this property; and near the hank
of the river, is a spring, continually discharging Oil and
.Gas, and it is ihb opinion of one of the most experienced
geologists In Pennsylvania, who has made a careful ex
amination of the tract, that it Is equal, if notsnperlor to
any .in the Kanawha Yalley, for the production of Oil.
It has been purchased solely with the vtewtoltaim

every known satisfactory appliance to attain that
object.
The engine and all the necessary tools are now per
forming their part, and no expense necessary for the
rapid devdopmsnt of the property will be spared, the
