PETIIOI . I7I3 3IAFFAI --- rEts .
We have before us the carefully pre.
pared monthly statement of petroleum af
fairs in the Venango region, compiled
for and published in the Titusville Herald .
It appears that While in some particular
localities the production fell away or de
creased, the loss was fully balanced by in
creases obtained in other district&
During the past month no heavy or ex
traordinkry strikes were made, but pro
duction was kept up to the average by
improving old wells and resucitating op
erations -of abandoned ones, which in
many cases were made to yield largely
by means of torpedoes. The production
during the month averaged 9,791 barrels
perday, making a total of 808,621 barrels.
Cherry Tree Bun district averaged 680
barrels per day, which ahows an increase
of 280 barrels per day over the month of
February preceding. The Charley Run
district remained about on an average
with Febriary, steadily piducing 900
barrels per day. Along UN Allegheny
river, south of Franklin, the product de
creaaed slightly in the aggregate, al
thOugh there was a slight increase at
one or two points. The total product of
the farms along the river from the place
last named to Brady's Bend-as shown
by the increase of stock and the ship
men is
—was about six hundred barrels
per day. In the Pleasantville district
there was also a 'slight decrease—the
average daily product having been 1,760
barrels.
In this district the decline occurred
mainly
product within the last week, and the
exceed at the close of the month did not
1,900 or 1,650 barrels per day.
On one or two of the developed farms in
the northern part of the district, the pro
duct of Berne of the wells' increased by
continuous pumping. On Church ma
and on the farms in the vicinity of Ti
tusville, the product was very steady,
the daily average for the month having
reached 470 barrels, a decrease of but
ten barrels from 'the daily average of
February.

the majority of last Fall has been consid

BARD, from the Hartford district. Mr.
STARKWRATHER, Republican, and Mr.

the present Congress, have been re
elected. Mr. Horcnniss, Democrat,
present Representative from the Second

Mr. MARSHALL JEIML, who was de
feated by Gov. &rowan last year by

on this turn. The Republicans lose sev

have ample margin left to retain power,
having a majority of t wenty-three, as it
now stands, on joint ballot.
Tan Suannten amendment to the joint
resolution concerning the point of junc
tion of the Central Pacific Road, building
eastward, and the Union Pacific Road,
building.westward, was before the Senate
yesterday and excited, a lively debate.
The country is only interested so far in
the matter as to obtain the earliest meet
ing of the workmen and the joining of
fails to afford a direct and unbroken iron
pathway from ocean to ocean. The Union
Pacific Road has been built well 'and
quickly, and because, forsooth, to escape a
tunnel, slight divergement was made from
the line established by the Secretary of
the Interior., We do not see that a half
a million of dollars of work or twenty
five miles of track should be torn up to
accommodate the company working this
way. Mr. Sannatex's idea, to have a
diainterested commission visit the west
and fix a point for junction, is good. The
proper point should be established just
where the workmen meet, and then let
the contractors of the rival companies put
forward their best endeavors to gain as
much of the tinfiniehed track as they can.

DWIGHT, a gentlemin who, while ester
sibly employed as a correstondent,
we
believe, for the New York Express, was
well known to be really the Washington
agent -of English and French manufac
turers, and as such to exercise a potent
influence at the Federal Capital. The
Tribune's allusion was forthwith de
nounced as false in point of fact, by one
of its free-trade cotemporaries which,
fancying it had made a capital point
upon Mr. GREELEY by its super—
ior information, dilated very tri
umphantly upon the exposure of the
Tribuns'a fabrications. Mr. GREELEY
was entirely right in his facts, and - is en
titled to the- retort which he will know
how to make. The writer of this knew
the gentleman referred to, and recognized
the accuracy of the Tribune's statements
in that connection. Mr. DWIGHT was tr
teacher at Northampton, Mass., until he
engaged in journalism, and was, through
out his life, a man of more than ordinal?,
mark. As the free-trade agent at Wash
ington, he was stallqiently unscrupulous
and active, to be worthy, if he were alive
to-day, of the place of Mr. D. A. WELLS
himself. It is certain that he had far
more shrewdness and tact,,than is betray
such a man

292 wells going down against 842 on the
first of March. Fifty wells were com
pleted with sittisfactory results hi most
cases not yielding largely.
Bat one well, which was struck on
.Cherrytree run, produced as high as 100
frbarrelslper7o to day.-and only four produced
om 9O barrels. Of these latter,
three- were struck in the Pleasintville
district, and one on Upper Cherry ran.
At Tuiioute four wells were struck, the
production of each of which averaged
about 35 barrels per day.
On Upper Cherry run the new well--
spoken of above—is situated on the black
oil belt, and by the finding of it the
known producing territory has been con
siderably. extended,• and the direction in
Which the sand rock, which yields black
oil, is supposed to extend, has been better
indicated.
The demand for petroleum has been
light, and, as a natural' consequence, the
stock has increased largely. There were
held on the let. 329,324 barrels. The
price has kept up between five and six
dollars per barrel. The ijournal from
which we quote ventures no opinion as
to the future of the oil trade or the pros
pects for further and more energetic
development this Spring.
OUR ENGLISH CLAMS.
The State Department, at Washingten,
is in possession of the detailed evidence,
showing that nearly three hundred Amer
ican vessels, covering property valued at
more than thirteen millions of dollars,
were destroyed by rebel cruisers during
the late war. With exceptions insigni
ficant in amount, this destruction was
accomplished by Vessels fitted out in
British harbors, armed with British
guns, equipped by British capital, man.
ned in great part by British seamen, and
permitted to Sail from British ports by
British connivance in the violation of the
British neutrality laws. And all this In
the face of seasonable advices and
protests from our own ,Consular
and diplomatic representatives resid
ing in the British dominions. And
here we 'have the whole case of, direct
damages for reclamation. It is probable
that the figure& returned as above from
the files of the State Department, cover,
very nearly if not altogether, every in
stance of damages directly resulting from
those depredation& It is presumed that
all the attalnableevidence of that character
has been thus filed, and that. It tells the
whole story, in the way of direct proof.
So far, the case is plain. Her liability
for the satisfaction of these claims hag
come to be fairly admitted by England;
that government no longer shrinks from:
thejust responsibility which the improp
erly permitted infraction of hero wn laws,
and of the international code, Ims im
posed upon her, and she now asks for an
orderly and reasohable investigation of
the specific facts connected with each
case. Conceding the general liability in
principle, she stands ready to satisfy each
and every claim which it properly justi
fies. So far the case continues to be plain.
But it is stated, and doubtless with
truth, that American commerce suffered
by those depredations indirect damages
to a vastly greater amount; that for every
ship seized and burned, one or more
others were in effect driven from the sea;
that the entire body of our foreign carry
ing-trade, especially to other than Euro
pean ports, was checked, or altogether
suspended under the just apprehensions
growing out of the knoßh presence of
those cruisers upon the seas; that large
amounts of property invested in Ameri
can shipping were forced inlay idle at our
docks, or change its nationality and as
sume another flag, and ithat the most
desira
corn
amble portions of our Sea-going co
'mere! were of necessity Virrendered to
other nations, indeed, in &great measure,
r o England herself . For the resulting or
secondary damage thus inflicted upon us,
compensation from England is also
claimed. 'Vast amounts would be cov
ered by a'precise statement of the injuries
thus inflicted, far exceeding the sum
of 'direct injuries yet proved. Not
one 'dollar of such claims hfis been
Properly authenticated to our Govern
ment, and It is very doubtful If a solitary
dollar of them ever can be proved, in ac
cordance with the well-settled principles
of a law which, in that regard, is the
same in both American and • English tri
bunal& In the very nature of things,
such claims, undoubtedly just as they are
in the abstract, can never be 'qo proved as
to fill the conditions requisite rov a recov
ery of damages between either nations or
individual& Be the sum more or less,
ten or a hundred millions, its details can
never be so precisely defined, under the
rigidly inflexible rules of evidence, as to
support a distinct judgment affirmatively
upon even one solitary claim. In that
view, these secondary damages will
ever continue to,present themselves as a
vague, shadowy, indistinct 4=4 with-'d
out a limit capable 0 4definition, its mass
not more apparent titan intangible.—and
Which must be at hist swept away, it at
all, not by any systematic or orderly' so
lution, but by a whirlwind of national
feeling, or be suffered to melt away under
the gentle but potent influences of a com
.
mon Christina civilization.
This part of our case against England
may beplain enough to Alfieri= eyes,
but it neither convinces her nor satisfies
the impartial judgment of the wor i ld.
Nor do our Own people expect its .recise
adjudication, with an p
y specific
W payment.
We have not a politician or a journalist
who avows that hope. The - satisfaction
which these look for is to be a Payment
in kind—if at all. They mast that we
12 1111
rr
shall retainoinul untmco' hour,
an equal right to ravage English com
merce, and drive that flag also from the
sea. Whether by the piratical use of
some other hostile flag, or ' in the issue of
an open war, the same desired result—of
satisfaction by revenge—is to be kept
steadily in view.
An additional element is , thrown in, to
embarrass any possible adjustment of
either or both of these questions. It is
claimed that England was unfriendly, if
not wholly without legal justification, in
her premature recognition of the belliger
ent rights of the rebels; that she supplied
the Confederacy with war-liksinunitions
and contraband goods; that her Canadian
and. West Indian ports were I notoriously
the convenient entre-pots of this mis
chievous traffic, and that, but for the com
plicity of the English people iin render—
ing such substantial aid, the rebellion
would'have been crushed in ljss time,and
with a vastly diminished cost to us of
lives and treasure. And, for all this, the
same vindictive satisfaction is; demanded
by large numbers of our people. It is
not pretended that this contraband trade
was carried on in any open violation of
the English laws,_but only thai-it is to be
regarded as a flagrant mark of the un
friendly disposition of her peoPle to the
Federal power.
!Here is the case, then.. England is
avowedly ready to satisfy such c . lainiaas
we can prove, and which are Sustained
by her own laws and the laws ofi , nations.
And she can pay no others, simply be
cause there are no others whicl4 we can
.support by reasonable proof. li l he only
question for our people to consider is
whether we shall accept what we Canlaw
fully claim, or whether we shall waive any
form of adjustment which shall debar us
from the ultimate and complete satisfac
tion of war, with its maritime plunder
and territorial conquest.

The Philadelphia mAxxo,(Kio
Of Securities Stolen. •
We had the telegraphic announcement
of the robbery of the Beneficial Saving
Fund Society, In Philadelphia, some time
during Sunday, the 4th, of bonds and
other securities amounting to over one
million dollars. We have the following
particulars by mail:
The robbery was committed between
the hours of 6 A. M. and 4 n. M. The
burglars affected an entrance from the
stairway leading to the billiard room in
the building. The floor was strewn with
papers and envelopes which had contain
ed the securities of the Society. All the
bonds, amounting to over eight hun
dred thousand dollars, were stolen, to
gether with two or three hundred thous
and dollars worth of coupons and regis
tered bonds, that had been left in the
fire-proof for safe-keeping. The fire
proof is built of brick and stone, with
double doors of chilled iron, the outer
bur
door
larsa hving a combination lock. The
g performed their work in the
most skillful manner, by drilling through
the door into the lock and then breaking
the bolt by means of a stout brace of tim
ber. Everything, with the exception of
a thousand dollar bond, was taken
this probably escaped their notice. and
The
secunties' amounting to eight hundred
thousand dollars in cash, were kept in a
small iron safe which had four locks,
each with a different key, but
the locks were completely smashed by
means of a brace. The Treasurer
of the Society, Patrick Quinn, had
$50,000 worth of bonds of his own; of
which $45,000 were coupon bonds; all
taken. Mortgages amounting, to a quar
ter of a million- of dollars were not dis
turbed. The securities stolen consisted
of.$125;000 six per cent. loan; $93,000
United States Five-Twenties; $33,000
Pennsylvania War loan coupon bonds;
$lO,OOO New Jersey six per cent. coupon
bonds; $20;900 Delaware six per cent.
coupon bonds; $15,000 Northern .Penzi
•sylvania Railroad coupon bonds; $lO,OOO
mortgage bonds same road; $14,400 U. S.
bonds, '81; $25,000 Philadelphia and Erie
bonds. 02,000 Allegheny county bonds;
$2,000 Camden City coupon bonds; $26,-
000 Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad
bonds; $64,000 Schuylkill Navigation
Loan; $23,000 Camden and Amboy cou
pon bonds; $40,000 • Long Island ftail
road; $l,OOO North Pennsylvania seven
per cent. bonds; $32,000 Allegheny five
per cent, bonds; $15,000 North'Pennsyl
vania six per cent. loan. The registered
bonds stolen amount to $ 4 00,000, and cou
pon bonds to $ 1 50,000. The depositors
in the Society number about three thotis
',and, and the securities stolen were held for
their benefit. To meet the loss sustained
the Society will secure the registered
bonds, the. mortgages, besides the real
estate, worth about $BO,OOO, making) a
total of $130,000 to meet their liabilities,
even if the coupon bonds should not be
recovered. A reward of $25,000 is of
fered for the capture of the . burglars.

The Spanish Monarchy Hereditary.
By some strange blunder the Atiantilc
cable totally misstated the monarchical
feature of the new Spanish constitution,
which turns out to be a pure and una
dulterated hereditary monarchy of . the
regular European type, the heir becoming'
of age at eighteen. As the Due de Mont
pensier is now pretty certain to be king,
we can form an idea of what the new
government is likely to be. .His wife is
the sister of Isabella, the dethroned queen,
and the mother and sister have been so
unngstakably bad that we can really see
no reason for confidence in the clutches&
Isabella had banished Montpensier and
his family some time
,time before the rev
olution. She had a suspici6n that he was
plotting against her, end it turned out
that he was, for the revolution is said to
have been chiefly his work. Ile had his
friends artfully placed in high commands
in the army and navy, and when the
time came these carried with them al'
their forces.

OPERA IfousE.---Mrs. Mark Bates, the
popular commedienne at the Opera
House, took a benefit *last evening, and,
as we anticipated,. her. numerous friends
turned out en masse. The entertainment
was a most excellent one, and the au
dience left the house more favorably im
pressed with Mrs. Bates as an actress
than when they entered it. To -night
Mr. and Mrs. Vandeever take a benefit,
and the bill announced is a most excellent
one. Mr. Vandeever and wife, notwith
standing they have been in the city but
one season, have a host of friends and
admirers, and we presume the benefit
will be a substantial one. They are both
clever people, and when Properly cast
have few equals and no superiors In their
line of business.
