THE LOGIC OF A FACT.
The Rebel elfment in . Georgia deniei
The right of colored men to hold office.
Their State code, for which they claim a
still valid authority, permits the suffrage
to that race, but withholds from them the
right of official trust, upon the plea that
this code was re-affirmed in the adoption
of their present Constitution. They won a
temporary triumph over the Federal an
thority, in itxpelling the colored mem
bers of their Legislature, as intruders
withopt title, yet, with s glaring incon
sistency; claim State rights in the Union
by virtue of the ratification of the %IVO
Article, which was only accomplished by
the same colored vote, before its expul
sion from that body. _!
Congress has evaded the issue thus
made by Georgia rebels, and the State re
mains in an anomalous position, neither
in 'tor altogether oat of her practical re
lations to the Union. But the President
now favors them with his views, clearly
expressed and to the point, as is his usual
way. For Assessor of the reVenue in the
Third, which Is the wealthiest district in
the State, he has commissioned a colored
man, whom the Senate confirms, The
fact will be worth a score of arguments,
to the reviving eomnion-sense of Geer-
Her people will do welt to take the
advice of Governor Wow, and no longer
"kick against the pricks," A sharp \
thorn thus already projects itself from the
hand of Federal power, and those rebels
will be stupidly blind who luipale them
selves upon the cruel points of an irre
sistible destiny for the entire Republic.
Logic, sense and selfishness all lay with
these points, and notagainst theni, Ito . *
long the recusants prefer to bleed
and suffer, 'rather than to learn - the wise
profit of submission.
A NEW RAILWAY POWER;
The aorta of our People, representing
the general interests of,the Tipper Ohio
Valley and of. Its navigable tributarigs
to secure the freedom of these natural
highways from artificial anid needless ob
structions, do not meet' with the approval
of the Washington Report er, which is so
generous and truthfUtts to speak thus of
Pittsburgh :
Though making the lohdest, outcries
about railroads, of any in the Tin iced
States, she is without doubt, one of the
most narrow-minded and illiberal when
-put to the test. Like a dog in a manger
she will neither build railroads herself,
nor.aliow others to do it. Yet she sends
forth a constant howl about want of otlt.-
lets, monopolies, cto. We hope that her
selfish and bigoted policy will meet
with signal defeat on every side. We
want to see a railroad- system adopted
which will build them wherever they
are needed, without regard to the likes
or dislikes of any p,oe or class of
people.
Because Washington has its own Hemp
field road, shbuld it deny the freedom of
this river to a people less fortunate Y We
had enough to contend with already,
without the Reporter intervening to dish
our struggling hopes. Waait not enough
that we must fight a powerful corporation
and meet the frowns of an unfriendly Ben
ate, that our cotemporary should give us
this crushing blow ? We fear there may
be some unworthy jealousy of Pittsburgh,
in the great Washington breast. The
Reporter would do a more graceful thing
in emulating our own generosity. - Tire
do not grudge to that borough its Htutilp
field railway. We that
not even rob it
of that excellent institution of learning
which has Just chosen there its exclusive
seat. On the contrary, we unite our
congratulations with their own. The
College could not have a nobler field.. If
its faculty will_establish a chair of Scien
tific Instruction, Pittsburgh will aid in
its endowments suggesting, as a toile for
the flint course of lectures, the value of
the deg as a rallway-builder, with his
special fitness as a railway4istruction.
This canine element in the railway sys
tem, so adroitly stiggested by that Re
porter, presents an inviting field of ert-,
quiry, and it should be exhausted fOrth

ductlon hitherto, there is `tild te b e a
stock of nearly 400,080 btcrels - of tbhi oil
now in Canada, and a dilly production of
nearly 500 lbarrels,'which can be easily
very largely increased. This oil, when
refined, can be - 'brought into direct com
petition, in the' European markets, with
our own oils, to which it is almost equal
in quality, and having been 'purchased
by refiner& at an exceedingly low price,
can be very cheaply sold.
The Herald says:
The importance of these operations,!
and the effect they will have on o
product, can scarcely, be over estimated
and the producers should give the
their early and earnest attention. For,
net only will the stock of oil in the
minion be brought into competition with
our product, but also a largely increased
production, caused by the advance in
price. It is true that the Petroleum pro-,
duet of the Dominion contains but from!
twenty-five to fifty per cent, of burning
oil, but the abundance in which it existsi
and the comparatively slight cast at' ,
which it can be produced, overcome to a
great extent that obstacle.
The danger to the Interests of Pennsyl
vania will be understood when it is
known that the development in the Do
minion has only served to show that vast
quantities can be obtained at any time,
while, here, the oil is becoming scarcer
from year to year, continually lessening
the average yield of the wells, and en
hancing the cost of production; and that
cheap wafer and railway transportation
are easily obtained for the product of the
Dominion from the places of production.
while here, owing to the coxntrinations of
railway companies, our product if 3 made
to pay excessive freight charges. These
circumstances offset in a great measure
the very inferior quality of the product
of the Dominion, and will, if they are not
changed, discriminate effectively against
our product. •
Thus, it seems that to avert the thrcat
ening dangers of successful competition,
cheap rates of freight are necessary in
order to put Pennsylvania oil at the sea
bord at as nearly as possible the same
price as can be done for Canadian oils.
To achieve this end, the Herald thinks
the hearty and united efforts of the pro
ducers is all that is necessary. The Pro
ducers' Association represents real estate
and capital equal to .100,000,000, and
an annual product of more than twenty
per cent. of that amount, a fraction of
the wealth or the Commonwealth which
certainly ought to have a good deal of
Weight if properly applied.

When Sir Rosizo:r Thar, retired from

wrote to the Lr.iiidon limes, cordially ac
knowledging his "deep sense of the pow
erfol support" which his administration
had received from that journal—"a sup
port the more valuable because It was im
partiatand discriminating." To which,
this response was made, and it presents
the true standard of an influential jour
nalism everywhere and for all times:
To the .Right Hon. Sir ROBERT

SIB: It gives me sincere satisfaction to
learn from the letter with which you have
honored me. bearing yesterday's date,
thatou estimate so highly the efforts
which. have been made during the last
five months by the Times newspsper to
support the cause of rational and whole
some government which His Majesty
had intrusted to your guidance, and that
you appreciate fairly the disinterested
motive of regard to the public welfare,
and to that alone, through which this
journal has been prompted to pursue a
poliev in accordance with that of your
Administration. It is, permit me to say,
by such motives only that. the Tunes,
ever since I have known it, has been in
fluenced, whether in defense of the Gov

resistance to it; and indeed there exist
no other motives of action for a journal

of the great bulk of Its readers.
