He claimed to be privileged from ar
lesi, aud lo bare ine rigbt, to lake
bis beat iu tbc House, lie asked to
be allowed to come before tbe Judi
ciary Committee ot tbe House and
argue his case, which the House
granted, aud now udon'ikoow what
10 do with the elephant that it has

mittee have no further use for him,
but for some reason do not seem to
Ik in a hurry to report upon his case,
sj He remains in tbe nouiiual custo
dy of the Sergeunt-at-Arms, occupy
ing bia old seat, aud look as big as
the rest cf the members.
Tbe leading topic here now and
the one xciuug tbe most interest ia
the Oil Pipe Bdl. Tbe oil business
bas become tbe most important of any
in the Siate, tbe annual receipts
tberetrom being over $30,000,000 aud
exceeding in value the eutire anthra
cite coal production by $8,000,000
r or man? rears there were numer
ous individual shippers aud refiners,
thus affording producers of petroleum
a free and open market. But a dire
cbauge bas been wrought in ibis
respect. The Standard Oil Com
pany, originally a Cleveland refining
Co., hare by meaas of rebates and
drawbacks granted them by Railroads
been enabled to crush out all ibe in
dividual reliuers and shippers, tear
UK ibe whole of this rast business
virtually in their own band ands now
the cany give producers just what
prices the? choose, as there are do
other buyers in tbe market. Tbe
producers have from time to time ap
pealed to tbe various railroads tor
iq ial shipping 1 ates with tbe Stan
uaid, but in vain, aud now as a last
resort tbey come to tbe Legislature
aad ask tor a free pipe bill, 80 tbey can
gel tbeir oil to a market. Oil now
brings at tbe well uboul $1 30 for a
barrel cf 42 gallons. This ibe pro
ceis claim is a standard price.
There are 50.000 people wbo have
to gel their liviug directly from the
business of producing oil, and tbey are
all at tbe mercy ot this heartless cor
poration. It controls the banks and
owns a large chare of tbe hardware
stores in tbe oil regions, and by these
means bas its bands upon tbe throats
of nearly all ibe debtor class, and one
by one ibe producers are being crush
ed out just as ibe refiners were. It
is only a question of a little time
w hen the Standard will gobble up
tbe whole thing, body and branches.
It seems that tbe main opposition
to the bill comes from the Railroads,
prompted of course by the Siandxrd,
on tbe ground that tbey have invest
ed large sums of money in cars and
machinery for carrying the oil aad
now tbey want to realize on tbeir in
vestment, whicb tbey could not do
it the oil is carried by pipes. But
ihey bare persistently refused to give
ibe producers or individual rbippers
an equal chance to compete for the
trade, and now the producers are
compelled to their pseut course, not
bt cause tbey wish 10 injure tb rail
roads, but because tbe railroads re
fuse ibem justice. Wben will tbe
people of this Commonwealth teach
ibese grasping corporations that they
are ibe creatures and servants of ibe
publtG aud not tbeir masters.
In tre House, on Friday last, Mr.
Long's resolution to appoint a c ni
miitee to investigate tbe causes and
results of the railroad riots was ad
opted without opposition. It was
amended so as to provide that ibe
expeu-es of the committee shall not
be over $2,000, and tbat no member
from a county sustaining loss by the
riots shall be appointed upon the com
mittee. In a debate in the Senate yesterday
upon tbe bill to make appropriation
for paying tbe officers and men of tbe
State militia, called out to suppress
tbe railroad riots, tbe officers of our
National Guard were very roughly
bandied by Seuators Herr aud Ycr
kes. Tbey were charged witb cow
ardice and want of executive ability.
This gave rise to a resolution in tbe
House to have those charges inresii
caled, and the matter was referred to
a committee to be appointed under
Mr Long' resolution. This is a del
icate subject to touch upon, and tbe
washing of o much dirty linen prom
i.-es to be interesting and exeiting.

A thrilling accident occurred on
tbe Soutbsido, yesterday, which will
uever be foriroiien by at least one
man. though no one was killed nor
anybody seriously injured. About 4
o'clock yesterday at'ernooo, tbe
coupling of a coal car on the Castle
Shannon Company's plane which
supplies tbe Clinton Iron Works wiib
coal, gave way just as tbe car started
from tbe top. The plane is about 500
feet long aud stands at an angle ot
about forty-five degrees ; so the read
er can easily imagine tbat by tbe
lime ibe bottom was reached, the
velocity was something like that of a
cauuun bail. Tbe car kept the track
all the way down, and when it stru k
the dump, tbe people iu tbe bouses
around thought Jove was burling bis
tbuuder bolts; ibe coal being distribu
ted over nearly an acre of grouud. A
wheel bounded off and went spiuuing
past ibe rolfiug mill, coming to rest
below tbe nail factory, on the rirer
bank One biir lump of coal went
bowliug through a window of a shoe
maker's shop, and tbe son of Crispin,
iu bis frigbt.came near going through
tbe omer. Tbe only damage done
bere was tbe destruction of tne win
dow. Officer M Cocbran, wbo was
walking along Carson street, thought
be saw a lump coming for bis bead
aud dodged ju-i far enough to be
caught on tbe bip by another one
Tbe latter struck bim on tbe pistol

"Ii will neither be occupied nor

iu which case it would be impossible
to leave such a force on our flank."

It seems certain tbat tbe Earl ot

Lord Derby, foreign secretary, have
tendered tbeir resignations. Perhaps
ibe former's bas been accepted,
though ibis is not quite certain.
Tbe cause of tbe resignations was
not s much tbe determination 1 1 ask
