Other amendments were offered but
not rigroed to, or not acted upon, includ

rejected -21 against 31.

Mr. STEWART made an argument
agaln■t the constitutional power of Con

upon Mississippi. In reply to a question
by Mr. _Edmunds, Mr. Stewart Bald be

Mr. EDMUNDS Inquired upon what
ground the Senator voted for the &ewe
condition In the case of Virginia, If he
believed It unconstitutional?
Mr. STEWART said he was anxlowi to
put Missiaitippl In the Union, and he
would vote for thts bill to admit her with
the condition in it, though he did not
believe Congresa had any constitutional
power to impose such cculdittons.
Mr. WILLEY said he opposed the con
dition,' upon Virginia, but alter they
were imposed voted for the bill contain
ing them. If the Benator from Vermont,
(Mr. Edmunds) and others acting with
him, thought • there wee an hit
propriety on the part of those who
opposed the conditions upon Virgin
ia. as unoonstitutional, In afterwards
voting for the bill, he (Mr. Willey)
woula relieve himself of any charge of
I inconsistency and stand fairly upon the
oblig■tione of his official oath. by moving
the repeal of the action of the Senate.
He therefore 'submitted an amendment
to lepeal so much of the Virginia act as
declared the State admitted to represen
tation upon certafii fandainental condi
tions therein expressed.
Mr. MORTON awed why, if the Sena
tor desired to be consistent, he did not
include all the States which were ad
mitled on conditions?
Mr. WILT.EY said the pledge or Con
gran had been given to admit the late
rebellious States to reprenentation upon
doing certain things. Mhinisampt and

THE. OIL REOIOIi.S.
'tatters at Parker'. Kandla/lc—netting
In Buslnesa—Weft Going Down and
New Wilkey.
From our tprelal Curramou dent.)
PARK - RA . .9 Lemprivo, Feb. 16, 1870.
I have been away from here' for
awhile, whit% accounts for your not re
,
calving anything from me.. hope how
ever-tobe'preeinf
teas for some months, son shall hereafter
keep you regularly posted. •
Btlaintlia is quite brisk at the "land
ing" for this time of year, and the pros
pects for a large spring buidnoss are very
favorable. New comers are aniving
daily and our business men are making
preparations for an active spring trade.
Parker's Landing sopeara entirely differ
, ant from all - the new oil regions I have
visited. The excitement is not so great
as It was In days gone by at Pithole,
Shsmburg, Pleasantville, and such
places, which no doubt fa owing to the
fact that no flawing wells have been
struck. But unlike all other regions we
have no dry holes. All walla put down
are producing from five to forty barrels
per day. Operators all - feel Imre of get
ting oil, and the only anxiety la In regard
to the quantity.
The latest devoloPmenta are on the
Ferran farm, where a new well has been
struck by 8. D. Karnes and Is now doing
about twelve barrels a day. The Mar
tinsburg well, which I spoke of In my
former letter, is still increasing and la
now pumping shout fifteen barrels daily.
The Isabella' well is coins down and
will be tested to-morrow. The owner
feels confident of having a good well,
At Silicate, three miles below Parker,
on the river, a vein ham been struck at
the depth of 660 feet, which is flowing
oil and water. The owners find it hard
to tube it on account of gas. They are
to-day driving doem theft casing, and
when finished they expect to have * big
well. Several of the wells here are being,
torpedoed and4he owners are expecting
to have largo wells.
Oil is dull aale here now, owing to the
scarcity of cam on the Allegheny Valley -
Road. The °exams's quotations of oil
are cited here as the Pittsburgh price
list among the buyers and sallera. -Your
reporter is certainly accurate, as the tele..
grams arid received hero In the morn.
ing invariably agree with the Ossarra.
I hope to beable to chronicle some new
strikes by the latter part of this week.

PETROLEUM TIMMS.
' On Saturday theTorbell and Hess well
No. 3, located on the R. McClintock farm
UNIX Rouseville, commenced pumping,
and has since yielded about 60 barrels of
oil per s day, and Is one of the beat wells
on thi property.
The new :well atruck butt week on the
Dempeey tract, near Kane city, Is doing
about 20 Lamle daily. -
On Monday the James Davin well, on
the Dalrell farm, was tubed and corn.
menced pumping. This well was put
down through the large casing, and of
course la doing more than It will after
the bead Is pumped off. The well hi
yieMing at the rate of 200 barrels per
day. The well la 669 feet deep.
Tfii attra cting farm on Weat Pilhole
