The Term of Office of the Mayor, Controller
As a doubt exists in the minds of some per
sons as to the tenure of office held by our mu
nicipal authorities, we publish section five of
an Act of Assembly passed April 13th, 1859,
extending the fiscal year of the city to Feb
ruary Ist, and with it the term of office of the
Mayor, Controller, sk:c
SECTION 5. The fiscal year of said city
shall, hereafter, begin on the first day of Feb
ruary; the terms of office of the Mayor, Treas
urer, Controller, and of all city officers elected
by councils, shall also begin on that day, and
the terms of those now holding any of said
offices in said city are hereby extended to the
first day of February, 18n0. The time for
making the annual appropriations, as now pro
vided for in an act approved April 6th,
is hereby changed, and the said appropriations
shall hereafter be made in the month of Janu
ary, subject to all the other provisions of the
said Act of Assembly."
By this it will be seen that the new councils
must sworn in at the usual time, as the ap
propriations for the year mustitfe made in
January, but the newly electe&Mayor, Con
troller and Treasurer cannot he'inducted into
office - until the first day of February:
A geological writer thus explains the crea
tion of the oil deposits in our portion of the
State, which are just now attracting so much
attention : " Geologically the north-western
counties of Pennsylvania lie just below the
coal, not always positively lower, but as the
stratification dips southward, all the rock there
would be overlaid with coal, if the coal forma
tions had not been removed by great denuding
agencies. These underlaying rocks are sand
stones and shales, containing many layer of
carbonaceous .matter yet too slaty for use as
coal. They contain also the drainage of the
whOle system of bituminous coal beds, arid in
certain strata are actually saturated with coal
nil. At several points on the 'western tribu
taries of the Allegheny rider, in Crawford,
Warren and Venango counties, this oil has
risen to the surface, and has been, for the en
tire period since the country was known, col
lected for various uses and carried away in
stfialignantities under the name of Seneca oil.
It is pow folind that the supply is much on the
same principal as that of saline waters in the
adjoining geological region, and that by boring,
these small springs which now mach the sur
face, may be made, to prtsluco largo—possibly
inexhaustable quantities of an oil, essentially
the same as that distilled so successfully in re
cent years from the best bituminous and cannel
coal of Western Pen nsy I van Ohio, Kentucky
and elsoWbere."
THE NOMINATION FOR ALDERMAN IN TILE
THIRD WARD.—The contest for the nomina
tion of a Democratic candidate for Alderman
in the Third Ward. yesterday, was a spirited
affair. Six candidates were in the field, all
doing their best for themselves. The balloting
was not as quietly conducted as possible, as a
few knock-downs occurred during the day.
John Quinn, Esq., was President of the meet
ing, and Hugh Duffy, Secretary. The result
was as follows:

It. will be seen there was a tie vote, and the
aspirants must try again. We presume, how
ever, that - none will enter the lists except those
between whom the tie vote occurred.

TELE CRY IS STILL THEY COME,—The rush
lilark's Gift Bonk Store Still continues, and
gifts:are disbursed to the eager crowd with the
same liberality as ever. Within the last four
or dim days tho gifts given away here, a. 9 Mr.
o:.inforins us, comprised six silver and one
gold watch, a number of silver butter knives,
a silver card -basket, with numerous sugar
spoons, forks and dert knives, of the same
material, and a large amount of very valuable
jewelry. Our readers should try Sir. Clark
before buying elsewhere. Ite charges nothing
foi* an inspection of his books, and never feels
in .0 lief/ter - humor than- when waiting on his
mai:inlets. Remember the number—n 6 Market
street—and give him a call when you want
anything in his line of business.
ARREST OF AN ALLEGED HORSE THIEF.—
Officer Hamilton yesterday arrested a man
named Wise, on the arrival of the train
from the East, charged with horse stealing.
The y .Mayor had received a despatch from
lltntinsdon stating that Wise, of whom a
/lialcripton •was given, had left for this city,
narrying a double barreled shot gun. When
officer Hamilton . saw him get off the train he
had an old musket, but confident he was the
man, arrested him. It transpired that on the
way he had traded the shot-gun for the mus
ket. Ho was sent back on the afternoon train
in charge of an officer.
SELLERS Cuu'EL.—We 11RV0 received a
handsomely executed and finely colored litho
graph of the new M. E. church at Braddock's
Vitt ll ; 111311 e 4 as ah(ive'... Tt Is.built on the bat
tle ground, and its reminiscences are accord
ingly interesting. The engraving it accom
panied, by a description of the engagement on
the spot in July, 1755, giving the numbers
engaged on each side and the killed and
wounded. The church is nearly completed
and will be a handsome edifice. The proceeds
of the sale of the engraving will be applied to
the payment of the debt of the Congregation,
of *blob Rev. W. H. Locke is pastor.
FIRE IN ALL . E . GII}IN*.—On Thursday morn
ing at an early hour. a brick house on .Etna
street near Green, Third Ward, Allegheny,
took fire, and sprelu'ing to two house adjoin
ing, the three were nearly consumed. The
houses, all brick, two single and double, were
occupied by nine families, who saved nearly
all their furniture. The buildings wore owned
by Mr. George Eckert, William Wier and
John Kurtz. The loss is not heavy, and, wo
i3eFieve, mainly covered by insurance. ••
-i°:,
PRESENTATION.—Mr. Frow and Miss Wil
marth, two ,of the teachers of the House of
Refuge, whose position in the institution was
such as to lead them to resign, were on the oc
casion of their leaving, presented by their co
officers, with two handsome presents, the termer
an elegant papicr nytche escreloire, and the
latter a beautiful caba, as a mark of the esteem
inwhich they were held, and for their efficien
cy in discharging the duties devolving upon
them whilst they remained.
.)ANAL BOAT Suaa—The canal boat "Jenny
Aingham," while on her way to this city on
Thursday, sunk at the 'mouth of Pine Creek
Aqueduct, a. few miles above the city. The
ahcident was the result of damage received from
UM ice:which was quite thick, and cut whelk)
in her bow, below the water line. She was
pulled to one side so as to offer no obstruction
to navigation, and at last accounts was yet
Partially under Water. ..

The Progress of the Age.
It is universally known, or at least believed,
that this is the age of progress—the age of ad
vancement--the time for the march of im
provement. More especially is this true in
the - United States, in which, at every stage of
our existence, wo have conclusively demon
strated that we are a progressive people. The
dwellers on this continent at the period of the
revolutionary struggle, or even some forty
years later, would look around them with
amazement were they called from their slum
hers under the sod, ,scarcely believing that
they stood upon the same ground. One of the
old Knickerbockers or staid Quakers, who
have done so much to give character to the
Middle States, should he emerge from his 're
tirement and visit Gotham or the City of
Brotherly Love, would see many things both
new and strange, and in neither city would he
recognize the ancient landmarks. In the
moving throng of Broadway or the bustle of
Chestnut street, he would be utterly lost, and
he would be carried onward with the tide of
humanity until on reaching the Battery or
the old State House he would imagine himself
again transplanted to the scenes of his early
recollections. Had the period of the awaken
ing of Rip Van Winkle from his long slctep
only now 'arrived, we think his astonishment
at the changes which have occurred within the
past twenty years would have been even greater
than that caused by the transformations so
graphically described by the genial sage of
Sunnyside, whose departure from amongst us is
now the source of unfeigned regret by the
whole nation.
We cannot attempt to detail, step by step, the
improvements of the age; their multiplicity
would require the research of a life-time,
which we cannot spare, and the result would
fill a volume which, tts every one now-a-days
writes a book, might not sell. But we have
kept on, growing with our growth, and
strengthening with our strength, until we have
become a giant, a power among the nations.
There may have been, nay there were many
causes for this rapid progress—this sudden
growth. There is lan old axiom, that o knowl
edge is power," and here, perhaps, might be
found the great secret of our success as a na
tion, and as individual members of a great
confederacy of zA..ates; for with us, the ditTu , ion
of knowledge has kept rapid pace with, and
sometimes in advance of the course of events.
We ow this dissemination of information
to the liberty here enjoyed by the press. It
was once said, perhaps truly, that one half the
world did not know how the other half lived,
but it is now equally true that if an important
event occurs within the limits of the Union
that at least one half the inhabitants of the
Union know it within forty-eight hours. The
steam-press, the railroad, the telegraph, and
the daily newspapers convey intelligence to
every corner of the land with incredible swift
ness. Journalism has become a science, and
information is sown broad-east over the land
for a mere song.
The publication of books is no less a feature
in this enlightened age, and the country i;
!Modest with works on every subject. and "I'Ltr•
ery conceivable character. Publishers print
editions of standard works for the million at
the bare cost of paper and printing, yellow i,.iy
ered novels, with a small margin for profit.,
and superbly bound and illustrated works for
the affluent and aspiring. Some of these book
publishers have grown ricb,and are now money
magnates in the land.
We were especially reminded o f the vast
number of Looks now issued trio the prt.Sl3 by
recent visit to the establishment of George
G. Evans, the great publisher and originator
of the gift book system, at No. 43',4 cu,,,,t nu t
street, Philadelphia. Trs store is au immense
literary depot, and in it are collected books
of every size, sort mid shape, "from grave to
gay, from lively to severe." Liere we find id.
bums, snnualA, presentation books. agricultu
ml works, Bibles, prayer and hymn 1... k, hi
e ygraphical and ta , tanical work . .., cook books,
dictionaries , and encyclopedias, games, COO
graphical, geological and Germ a n books, his
torical works, humorous publications, juven
ile works, law and form books, inechanical,sci
entitle, architectural, medical and musical
books, works' on natural history, masonry and
odd.followshrp, gems of poetry; religious, bib
lical, theological and commentatorial works,
school and classical books, stationery, tales of
travel and advemturc, works of fiction, and a
general a.ssortment of misoellancsms works.—
In addition to this variety, Mr. Evans sells
his own publications, which include a number
of useful works On ail subjects, and he will also
furnish to any one, at publisher's price, a copy
or copies of any book now in print in the Uni
ted States.
It would 54:.•111 that such a comph•te estab
lisliment would offer sufficient inducements
to purchasers of books to give to Mr Evans
large share of patronage, and it did, but
in IS Mr. Evans conceived the Idea of
increasing his business by offimng greater in
ducements. Accordingly he announced that
to every one who bought or ordered a book
from his store he would 'fire a present worth
from twenty-five cents to one rued rod dollars,
and since that time he has pursued the system
with unvarying impartiality, unswerving hon
esty, and constluest success. In his store are
exhibited "jewels rich and rare," "gold, gents.
and precious stones," gold and silver watches,
jewelry of every description and style, of the
best quality, lockets, ear-rings, breast-pins,
pens, pencils, cases, bracelets, vest chains,
rings, table and tea-spoons, shirt studs, sleeve
buttons, pen-knives, and a host of other arti
cles of use and ornament.
By sending an order for I.x.dis selected from
the catalogue of Mr. Evans, which will be
mailed free of Charge, you will get any book
you may desire, at publisher's price, and 801110-
times even less, accompanied by a gift of value,
by return mail or express, according to the
size of the package ordered.
Mr. Evans does an immense business and ad
vertises largely. His sale-1 must reach $1,000,-
000 annually. His purchases of books and jew
elry, always for cash, arc immense. As fast
as. new styles of jewelry appear he purchases
larg quantities, and distributes them among
his patrons. Liberality such as his is worthy
of the CFncouragement it receives, and irany of
our readers visit Philadelphia, we would ad
vise them to make it a point to call at No. 439
Chestnut street, or if they do not go send an
order and get in return a book and a handsome
gift. The experiment will cost but a dollar or
two and is worth trying.
A YOUNG LADY INJURED.—About
o'clock on Friday afternoon, a young lady of
Allegheny City .Miss _McDowell, sister of It.
P. McDowell, Esq., while riding in a baroucho

horse - took fright and started at a slow pace to
ward _Federal street. Mies McDowell became
frightened, jumped froth the barouche and fell
fainting to the around. She was picked up
unconscious, and carried into Dr. Elliott's office,
where Dr. Dale waited upon and relieved her.
It was at first feared she was fatally injured,

and while preparing her husband's suppor, her
clothing took lire. She was alone and could
not help herself immediately, but succeeded in
reaching the bed, which took fire from her
clothing, and caused an alarm of lire. She
was found witn her clothing entirely con
sumed, and her body badly burned. It was
thought, however, that her injuries would not
result fatally.

THE LATEST NEWS
BY TML-MCI-RA..S'H.
THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION
WASHINGTON. December 9.—The Senate is
not in session to-day, having adjourned over
till Monday.
HOUSE..—Mr. Morris, of Illinois, rising to a
privileged question, caused to be read from the
otßcial report the remark of Mr. Kellogg, Of
Illinois, that two years ago Mr. Greeley was
planning and scheming with Douglas, in the
parlor of the latter, to re elect him to the Sen
ate by selling out the politics of Illinois. Mr.
Morris also caused to be read Mr. Greeley's
publication denying the truth of the charge,
and while detesting the Douglas doctrines, ad
mired his pluck.
Mr. Kellogg replied that but for the fact
that he had been personally assailed in an
infamous article in the Tribune, he would not
have said a word, as he was anxious for the
organization of the Douse. lie said that for
ace Greeley and Judge Dout-,las had boon put
on trial, and he should hereafter prosecute the
issue.
Mr Clark, of Missouri, was called out by a
remark of Mr. Kellogg, that a report had pre
vailed that according to an arrangement the
Missouri Senatorship was to be given to Mr.
Blair. le believed this charge against Judge
Douglas was n falsehood, but lie did not attach
importance to the statement of Mr.. Groofey,
whom he believed to be a thief of character,
and unworthy of the notice of a gtintleman,
either in or out of Congress.
Mr. Kellogg repeated, that as an issue had
boon made he would meet it fairly, ile
dis
claimrd having made an attack on Judge
Douglas ; he dealt with Mr. Douglas Mune.
Mr. Logan; of 111. , said that the charge
made to injure Judge Douglas. Who is the
candidate of the great Northwest for the Pri,l
id,'Rev 7 An effort was lead.: t.O injure Judge
Dotrg . las. in t h e estimation of the South. by a,-

ti rue forth he would never again notice his col
league. who shirks from the re, Tu n..ihility o f
bringing proof to support his charge. M, hen
he. 11 r. Logan, made a charge in the Logi:dn..
turn of Illinois, and was called upon for proof,
he did not, like n spaniel, slink in toshe cY.rner.
At this point Mr. h.ellogg. who was sitting near

Mr. Logan-1 never ached him that quet.•

Mr. Makin enquired whether, in crew the
Charlir!ten Convontion should 16,1,14 a plat.

M an t i if that &invention end ot ,,, , d
and approved of the conduct of ihiA admink
tration, as well with regard to its Kansas policy
10 all other inutterr, he would support the
nominee of that convention
Mr. Logan replied that he was about twenty
eight years old, and had lived long enough. to
dh.cov or that the Democratic party never does
wrong. ( Laughter.) Ile had never known
the Democratic party in national convention
to endorse a platform that was not cc...mi.:tent
with his view, Raving that contidenee h.
would not anticipate. 'what they might do, but
would Fay that he would vote for the nominee
of that convention anyhow. (Expressions of
delight from the Democratic side of the
!louse.)
Mr. Ilaskin-1 will not. 1 willak another
piestion: Does the gentleman believe that the
Territorial .Legislaturo of areas could exclude
slavery or abolish it?
Mr. Logan—l profess tc do a Democrat
neither 4ocompton nor Anti-Lecompton, as I
have said. I have buried all old party issues,
and, ignoring these issues, I claim to be a Dem
ocrat- 1 tun for Stephen A. Douglas for Presi
dent of the United States, first, last, and all
the time. If ho is not nominated, lam for
the next man ; that is, the man who is nomi•
tutted. [Applause.'
Mr. Deakin asked whether ho would sustain
the nomination if the platform resolved to pro
tect slavery in the territories.
Mr. Logan—Wait till the Democratic plat
form does that tsid I will tell you.
Mr. Hoskin said that at. the session of Con
gress, the Republican members put themselves
squarely on the Anti-Locompton platform.
He was in favor of the organization of the
House, and disapproved of all this rambling
debate. He hold in perfect abhorrence the ap
peals made to him to come and support those
who sustain the infamous policy of this ad
ministration, with reference to the admission
of Kansas. Ha would never vote for any man
for Speaker, who voted for the Leoompton pol
icy of the administration, or who approved its
corrupt action ; its proscription, as well in
Illinois as elsewhere. Mr. buskin, in reply to
the question whether he would vote for the
Republican candidate, said that he would vote
for any gentleman on this side of the Housti
who comes nearer to my platform than thi)
gentlemen on the other side, who voted for the
Lecompton Constitution. I say further, that
I will do all in' my power to prevent the or
ganization of this House by the Administration
'candidate. ;
• Mr. Logan said that ho camo- here a Demo
crat, and expected to support a Democrat. He
had differed from childhood with the Republi
cans, and would never affiliate with thasa.
Mr. Haskin—lf the Republican side of the
House affiliate with me; f shall be most happy
to receive their support. .I came hero as an
independent man, with no collar around my
neck. If the Republicans put themselves on
the Popular Sovereignty doctrines, which I be
lieve, in opposing the infamous extravagance
and gross corruption of this administration, I
would sooner co-operate with them, than with
those who go with the gentlemen of the South,
in supporting a fraudulent constitution for the
pairs() of bringing a slave State into the
U mon.
Mr. Florence said ho would take occasion,
another time, to answer his friend in regard to
the corruption of the Administration, of which

Speech of Senator Trumbull
ASII IN4 iTON, December the Senate,
yesterday, Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, made
a lengthy speech, ebielly in defense of the Re
publican party, in the course of which he said:
Mr. Trumbull contended that the declaration
of Mr. Seward was nothing more than the
caproSqo,l by WitshingtOn and the South
ern men in al a i, glottal the language
of Jefferson, that there is nothing more cer
tainly written in the book of Cato than that
these mete; should be free. It would be seen,
then, that the idea was not new ; it had its or
igin in Virginia years ago, and the idea fore-
Oiadowl,l by Jetriirson, although not a part of
the creed of the Republican peril:, ho trusted
it might hereafter become ifo cretal; that is, the
deportation of the free negro population from
the cotintry! Ile trusted the Republican party,
would make it a part of their Own cre.T a l
procure some region of country not far distant
to which the negro populati o n could be taken.
Ile feared that the isMieptt,llef,l of JelrerSon's
this was done ; in favor this of
loovernent he quoted from a q."12141Ch of
Ilenry Ulay advo , ating Colonization. In ci in
-lu.ion, Mr Trumbull said: It seems to he
impracticabl e to transport this groat population
to A fri.-a let us obtain a country nearer hom e :
dtn't h, , bow the sympathy of the North for the
S. , oth. I km , w I may Fay for the people I rep
