The main ptiints urged in favor of a

Asti:inch interest was felt by oil opera,
tprs in - the trial of Irvin A Bleakley,
which-resulted hie non-suit on Tuesday,
we give the following. synopsis of the
case as it developed itself in court: In
February, 1665, S. P. Irvin and .Ibhn W.
Murphy entered into a contract With CoL
James Bleakley, of Franklin, Pa., by
theierms of which they agreed to buy a
'.number of tracts of land in the lower
I . part of that city. There 'were some
dozen or so of the tracts of land, and
the price to be paid was forty thousand
dollars, of which $20,000 was paid down
iecash, and the other $20, 000 was to , be
paid in sixty daYii,•or as soon thereafter
as the title papers should be perfected
and tendered. When the sixty dayekran
rout; Irvin failed to pay the odd $20,000,
and from that time never either paid or
offered to pay any portion of it.' inln April,
; Richmond fell, and immediately
after, oil lend and the oil excitement fell
too, the oil excitement being about as
dead by the end of the year as was -se
teas' on. _
Of bourse the land wasn't 'worth 4140,-
0000 r $20,000 either, and Mr. Irvin gave
no sign, and apparently the whel4s agree
-tnent was dead, dritilMay,lB6B, when he
'brought suit, to recover back the $20,000
he had paid, on the ground,that Colonel
Bleakley had never given him a deed,
find had exercised acts of ownership over
the iand by laying an oil pipe through .
the same. The result of a recovery
would have been,. that Mr. Irvin would
have been made entirely whole and had
no loss whatever, and Colonel Bleakley
would have had his land to him
worth now about $4,000, and admitted to
have been then worth $40,000.
The. Court held that before Mr. Irvin
- Could rescind the contract for. Colonel
Bleakley's sins of omission,he must show
that he had done everything that it Was
Ms duty to do; and, as there mita not the
slightest evidence that he ever tendered
the balance of the purchase money, or
showed any disposition whatever to corn.
ply with ins part of, the contract, entered
a non suit against him.

Tee Fourth of July--Presentment by the
Grand Jury Relative to the Proposed
Celebration on. Sunday.
The Grand Jury yesterday made the
following special presentment relative to
the proposed celebration of'the Fourth
of July on Sunday, by a portion of our
German fellow citizens:
To the Honorable the Judges of. thi — Court
•f Quarter Sessions of A/leg:Mono Coun.
ty .
The Grand Inquest to whom this Hon
orable * Court imparted certain matters
pertaining to the well being of• the citi
zens or this county, make the following
presentment of the views entertained by
said Grand Jury in reference to the pro
posed celebration of our German citizens
on Sabbath, the Fourth day of July.
That the Grand Jury have's:tamed with
regret that it is contemplated by a por
tion of our German fellow citizens to cel
ebrate the coming anniversary of kiner-
Scan Independence on the Sabbath I day,
\a thing that to our knowledge has'never
Ibsen uone since tho formation of our
'government. We cannot believe that
they will carry out such a programme,
knowing as they mustthat by so doing
they will insult the religious sense of all
classes of our people.
We sincerely trust that such demon
stration will not be made, but that In
celebrating, the day of the, nation's birth
they will cOnform to the long established
usages of the country of their adoption.
Tbirerend InquestsF not sectarian in
their views ; nor do , the feel a desire in
any way to interfere with the legitimate
exorable of. - any,of - the, rights of our fel
loW citizens, but we do :
nereby most sol
emniy protest against such willful - and i
flagrant desecration of this Sabbath day
as referr,ed to i and•hope that the intended
demonstration, will not-tie carried out.
We heal reason to believe that iiiloh ily
sign is entertained by a very sma 1
minority of our German population. a d
we trust the Will promp3y
frown down the projected violation of e
religions feeling of the ehminunity;
Ail of which is,respectfully submitted.

EDrroUs GAZETTE: It is with surprise
that I see the press -of this city , "pitch
ing into" , the Lidonuitiental Association
for its ' , precipitancy'? in locating the Sol
diers' Monument. It is a well known
fact that for the past two years the very
pipers that 'now cry "precipitancy,"
were-the on'e4that urged "immediate and 1
final action," and day after day called
upon the members of the Association to
act. Now, as to the meeting of Saturday.
It was wel t -known.' not only to every
-member of the Association, but to the
public at large, that the question of lo
cation would be settled on that day, and
out of the twenty Commissioners, eleven
appeared. lin the Chrodicie of Monday;
the comments of the reporters,• are not.
only insulting to tie ladies of the Asso
eiation wiaq were present at the meeting,
,but, are entirely false, as there was noth
lug "set :up, ' but all voted without
'any dictation and nom an honest con
-Vietion that they were doing right.
Now as to the location. I am, like
many others, opposed to the Cemetery.
Not that,l think "It will be buried from
sight, or that the public cannot have' ac
cess to it," but that I think a monument
of this kind;- - Should be erected on some
spot where, it' will be seen daily. Now as
to Seminary, or as lt 4 1s 'better - known,
"Hog flack tilt." I think the, same ar
ments that apply to the Cemetery are I
just as applicable to it. The Hill is aspot
commanding enough,' but to - get to it
would , require un amount of "muscle and
wind'e. that few possess, and the smoke
from the Many brick kilns at the base of
the hill would speedily chenge the color
of the' monument from its original
brightness to the • dingy blackness of a
moderrismoke.stadi. Now, Messrs. Edi
tors, there is one way by which this mat
ter can be settled V) the satisfaction of
all. If lam not miStaken this charter
authorizes tne County Cortimissioners to
give any piece of ground belongitig•to the
Comity to the Asspciation, and to experid
a mina ' not exceed' g five 'thou
sand 1 dollars towe r s the' erec
' tion of the ruonumel
t. Now that
they are going to an expeese of over one
hundred thousand dollars in repairing
the Court House, why not donate a spot
at the corner of,Fiftb avenue and -Grant
greet:, iu the Court EfOuse yard, and
place the Monument there. The' position
is commanding, and visited daily by ea:-
! Irma from every part of the county, as
we'll as by strangers. From the street to
the tap of the' Moeument would be over
.one hundred feet, and the widows and
orphans of our dead soldiers could - at all
times have free access to it. ' ' • •
I have no doubt the ladies of 4he Agee.-
elation would freely reconsider their
action, and unite on this location, which
',mild undoubtedly give satisfac tion to
'all HONESTY

The closing exercises of the': Western
University have attracted considerable
attention this . year, "The present grad

Exercises this afternoon in the chapel of
the University, corner of Ross and Dia

These exercises are something-new-here,
and will doubtless, be very pleasant and
interesting. They will consist chiefly of
an oration, a Velem and n hi.tory and
prophecy of the several members of the
class, all more or less humorous.
We understand, also, that there are
some presentations tb take place which
will add to the interest of the occasion.
We advise-all who, can make it conve

Our readers will be gratified to learn
