Democratlle State Convention. The Democratic State Committee, at its meeting, on January 29th, at Harrisburg, ad o pted the following resolutions : lot. That the regular Convention of the party, for nominating a candidate for the Supremo Bench, be held at Ilarrisburg, on the Second Tuesday of Jung, 1867, at, twelve o'clock M., and that Said Convention be cou►- posed of the usual number of delegates. 2nd. In addition therew,lt is mann 11101 a. ed to the Democracy of Pennsylvania to forthwith elect, in the usual manner, two delegates, of recognized position and influ ence io tho party, tin. each Itepms F ritatne and Senator ►n their respective district, who shall meet in Mass Convention, at Harris burg, on a day to be fixed by the Chairman of the State Central Committee. By order of the Democratic State Com., W3l. A. WALLACE, Chairman TUE VETO OF TILE MILITARY 14 RECONIMIUCTION DILL." We publish this week the President's veto of this misnamed bill. A proper name for it would be, "A bill declaring certain States out of the Union, and that they shall forever remain out." The presumption of these men who style themselves the Coneress of the United States, is monstrous. When did the civilized world ever witness such doings? and much more, how could it be reasonably expected at this age, and in this country that such high-handed measures would be taken? The President has shown his courage, and. what is more important, has made known the will of the great mass of the Americas People, in this veto; and history will give Lim credit fur his action in this matter. Why, what is the state of the question, as regards reconstruction, "so-called"? Are these Southern States in or out of the Un ion? We repeat the stereotyped and well considered doctrine, announced by the Rad icals themselves, that no State can go out of the Union ; that the long and dreary war of fourysars was for the purpose of keeping them in the Union ; and now, after this bloody struggle, we are told, in substance by this abominable bill. and in language st - propriate to the ;precincts of billingsgate, by members of the National Congress, ("so called,") that these States are out of the Union. It is hard to imagine a more palpa ble contradiction. The merest tyro in logic could not so blunder; and yet such argu ments, (heaven save the mark,) are flaunted in the face of the civilized world? Andrew Johnson has done thingot at which we shudder when we reflect upon thew but, "let justice be dune, though the heal , ens fall." Ile has done a glorious thing by expressing, through this veto, what we he lieve to be the will of th• mass of the peo ple. Deusocrata, Follow. We notice that everywhere in Ohio and Kentucky, the Democrats are putting on the armor of war and preparing themselves for the great contest of abd '6B. Dem ocrats of' Pennsylvania. follow the noble ex ample of' the Democracy of' these States. You cannot be too early and too zealous; and it is true, when we say that the cam paign of' the Democratic party never begins and never ends, but is always; and time and labor thus expended, is of' far more import ance and value than at any previous period in our political history. The duties aro of higher consideration than the mere ascen dancy of men of your choice and party to position and power. Let not the frienls of free Government suppose, that while the rage and excitement of the political contest Lae subsided, the enemies of Republican in stitutions and Constitutional Government, are silent aed inactive, but at this very mo ment engaged in secret conclave all over the State, and in fact, throughout the entire North, devising means and measures by which to subject the people of the South to further intolerance, subjugation and degra dation ; to subvert the civil liberties of the people into military despotism; to build up an aristocracy to be supported by the toil ing millions of' the great North and West. To frustrate the designs of the unscrupulous and corrupt party leaders, we must be a unit, organized and equipped, to Stand in readi ness for the great battle which is soon to be fought between the lovers and enemies of the Constitu'ion. Deumerats, we call upon you lit the name of Liberty, to make a bold, fearless stand in defence of your rights! Avoid the fate of' a ruined, wretched, en slaved people ! The people of the South reduced from the position of a proud, free American nation to starvation and sulkjuga tion, are looking forward to the great Con- stitutional party of' the North fbr aid and relief. The Fortieth Congress, composed of men from whom is only expected a rehear sal of the doings and acts of the Thirty ninth, the encouragement of the restoration of the ten States to the Union, is less; looked for than before. It devolves upon the Dem made party, as citizens and patriots, to bring their power and influence to crush the oppressors of the country. Mir An Act has passed the Legislature dividing the borough of Danville into four Wards. Mr. Chalfant, in the House, met the opposition of some of the ltadical mem bers to this bill. They oppoed the bill on the ground that the courts had entire juris diction over the matter. This question was Dot raised last Winter when the Radicals in trodued and passed several bills of like character. Certain Disunion Member s i n the House are always looking out for some thing political, and by so.doing make them- Pelves meddlesome in local legislation, and thus become objects of scorn and contempt. sir We learn that Abner Thompson, Eaq , We of tho Middle Creek Ran toul Company, died at hierealienco in Law Isom s it'lr dp koeo mural. The Ticket supported in opp ition to the Etraiii:ht Republican Ticket wad elected iu this Township on Friday last, by majorities ranging from twenty-two to sixty. levels! The whole Republican Ticket as formed by the leading spirits of that party in Convention, was defeated, except the can didate. for Constables, who had no opposi tion, and onh Assi4tant Assessor who was a candidate on both Tickets. The result is not claimed as a Democratic victory, but was caused in a great measure by the apparent mismanagement of our Township affairs for years. It we determined by the people to vote for men as officers and not as pol iticians, and teach the few who have been running wild, that freemen have power, and liberty to exercise the same. The sucoess ful was composed of good men of both the Democratic and Republican party. The following gentlemen were elected: Judge of Elections, Jr.azmi.tn J. Bitow aft.

A Despatch over the Atlantic Cable, on Friday last, says the Fenian Rebellion has broken out in earnest in Ireland. The revo lutionists have attacked towns and barracks garrisoned by British troops, and the first blood in the struggle has been shed. The reports which reach us are dated in London, Liverpool and Dublin on the 9th, and re late only the transactions of the precious day. They foreshadow serious trouble fur the British government. The Fenians are evidently well organized and under experi enced military leadership. The points they have seleette-for their movements are such as stratgetie alone would point out. The principal risings have been at Dublin, castle Martyr, near the city of Cork, and in the ancient city of Drogheda, on the Boyne river. The c3mmunication by railroad be tween Cork and Dublin was completely in terrupted on Wednesday last, and the tele graph wires oil ever Ireland are said to hare been cut down. The insurgent army in the neighborhood of Dublin is reported by the Chief Secretary of Ireland, Lord Ness, to numl cr from one thousand to four thou sand men. All the despatches concur in the statement that the Fenians are under good discipline, and it is highly probable that they situ at obtaining possession of the important cities of Dublin, Cork and Belfast. The fact that we are without inteiligence as to the progress of events after the 9th inst., is full of significance and seems to indicate that the troubles are on the increase, al though ono of the latest despatches from the government headquarters in London state that "all is quiet." DIED IN TUE CARL—On Tuesday morn ing, at 2.45, when the Northern Central %Iwo) , trainkom tho:north'arrived in Har risburg, one Ohl passengers was found dead. The corauctor of the train ascer taining the man was dead, called upon the proper officer and had the corpse removed to the dead house where, an inquest was held. It appears the deceased got on the train at Sunbury, but did not attract more than usual attention from the conductor. He had a ticket for Harrisburg, and further than this there is nothing known as to who ho was or wh:tt his name was. rpm hi, person several dollars were found, and some papers which indicated he had recently worked in Snyder county.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: —Being out here in this Pennsylvaina grease spot, I've thought a few lines regarding the "state of affairs" in the land of oil, would not be uninterests lug to the readers of the Democaxr. Oil Cite, the convergent point of four dif ferent rainainile, and the head or oteam eavi• gation on the Allegheny River, is the "head centre" of the Pennsylvania oil fields. It is situated at the mouth of Oil Creek, an f contains about 4.01 N) inhabitants, It is in the Valle' of ,01 e k that the best oil territory is situated. Hundreds of wells have been put down along this creek, few of which have Coiled to produce oil in paying quantities, and "rich strikes" are being made every day. The average yield of wells is from luo to 200 barrels per day. The fatuous Cieptett and Phillips wells, —the Firmer on the Forber's and the latter on the Tar emit on Oif Creek—which at one time flowed at the rate of 2500 barrels per day each are now pumping but. 150 barrels each. Many companies have supended operations owing to the low price at which oil is selling at present. Crude oil. quoted at eO.OO two yvare ago, is now selling at $2.00. The oil market at present, is very dull, but promises to grew more "busily during the present month. The Register of this city, speaking of the sew Yerk Pe troleum 51arket says: "The exports of pe troleum from the port of New York last week amounted to G 48,328 gallons. The to tal exports since the Ist of January, 1567, are 4,05e1,086 pillow% This shows a falling off, compared with the exports of last year 14 the same time, of nearly one million gallons. "The receipts of' oil in New York last neck were 25,370 barrels. Since January Ist, the total receipts aro 146,755 barrels, against 192,645 barrels for the same in '1 he increased business at the port of Phila delphia, however, mute, be taken into ac count in estimating the actual condition of the trade. The receipts of oil and the amount exported are greatly diminished. but not, in the ratio that the statement of trade of New York would indicate. This reduction of supply is the most, hopeful in dicetion of the oil trade." Oil Cite is not dead, as many begin to think. There is still plentr , of room for the business man here yet. Iho attention of capitalists hex been turned to the erection of refineries at this place, ant Oil City promises to become the great refining city of the country. The chime of Venango County are pe titioning the Legislature eir the reemvel of the tsnuity seat from Franklin to Oil City. They ask that an election he held, and the matter decided by the potpie themselves, which, if done, there is little doubt but that the county seat will be removed to this city. The Firiners' Railroad, running from 0,1 City to Petroleum Centre, and passing through the best oil territory along the creek, has done more to build up (hi City than any other corporation in, or about the place. .The Superintendent, Mr. lt. G. Taylor, is a practical, foreeeing man, and evidently knows how to "run a road." The Farmers' is doing a better business anti has brighter prospects than any other railroad in the oil regions. 1 ant indebted to Mr. Thos. Dinewk, track master of this road for tunny fiivors tendered me during my stay in Oil City. A good story is told of a poor farmer lies ing somewhere in the oil regions, who was made suddeuly rich by a "big strike" on on his property. Ile hardly knew what to do with his newly acquired wealth, as he was unused to being ‘ltethered" with too much hard cash. His only daughter who had always attended thu "common school'' in the neighborhood, was now brought home, and a teacher was engaged to attend at, her residence alprivate tutor. For the old 'nun said, now that he had the stamps, his Sarah Jane should have a .good "eddi cation." Ito no longer considered his taxes too high, nor the old school system the best, but straight-way employed ono of the best teachers in the neighborhood. Ono day the old man thought he would , drop in to see how the "gal was progreesin'." Upon inquiry, the tutor replied ; "very well, Mr. T. only that she leeks a capeeity—" Before he had finished, the old man broke fit with— "Capacity ! Why didn't you speak of that hefbre? I have money to buy her a capacity, and she shall have one. Sarah Jane is a good child, and she shall want for i nothing that I am able to gat her." Whether the old man succeeded in get ting a capacity for his daughter or not I ■m finable to tell, but do know that she now possesses a capacity Ihr taking the eyes of', the "boys" in these parts. The farmer is no longer tilling the soil, but has purchased a fine city residence,' where ho now lives, and seared in one of his Omits, smoking the pure Havana, with his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest, denies that he ever asked the tutor to purchase a rapacity for his daughter and that he knows what a capacity is u well as yon do. But the reeler is already tired and I will stop writing for this time, promising them something more and better at eotue future time. Truly yours, FROM 1W Will INGTON. ilitahittrOon, March I Rh, 1867. nir )IILITARY BILL AMENDED. The house Judiciary Committee this morning reported a bill to amend the mili tary government act, so as to enlarge the powers of the commanders of military dis tricts ther-ty created, and guard more ef fectually tgainst representation from the Southern States until atter the next Presi dential election. The measure was framed in response to the resolution introduced by Mr. Kelley, of Philadelphia, some days ago. It givesthe commanders of military districts of the South dodoe porter in the work of reorganization pointed out by the fifth sec• tiun of act above mentioned. THE BOUNTY BILL Mr. Sank this morning revived the sol diers' bounty bill, which was lost at the last s es sion, owing to the failure of the Senate to act upon it. The [louse will repass it, Srobably, but it will not be adopted by the enate. That body is opposed to increasing the bounties already granted, or to giving additional bounty in any shape, and, there fore, the bill may be considered practically lost, THY. TARIFF. The !louse tariff bill was introduced to day by Mr. Moorhead, and ordered to he re ferred to the Ways and Means Committee, when appointed. The indications are that, unless the session continues a month or two longer, nothing will be done on the subject until next winter. ADJOURNMENT. The Radical members of the Senate held a caucus this morning, at which it was agreed not to fix a time tbr the adjournment or recess of the present session until Con gress shall have passed the proposed bill supplementary to the reconstruction nct, an I until time is given for the President to act upon such a nteasure. As the Con.titution allows ten mays for tl,e Executive cormiaera tint, ^nr.) as the hill is not yia ps.seil, it would seem that Congress will not take the contemplated recess for at least two weeks. HOHtilltST ('F A. H. LLE On Saturday, A. If. Lee. the Clerk of the 'freasury Department, who was arre.t e j in St. Louis en the charge of absconding from the Department with from 330,0tx) to .400,000 worth of bonds, was turned over to Mayor Richards, Superintendent of Po lice, and by him committed to jail. 114. r h /*noon, March 12. OFFIPE-SEEKKRS There was an unusually large crowd of office-seekerts around the Senate to-day while that body was in Executive sestion. It seems to be understood through the country, that an administration mini stands no chance of being confirmed if nominated for °film, and accordingly leading Radical politicians come on, await the rejection of nominees, and forthwith repair to the White Mow* and pre-ent the applications of their own partisans for vomit positions. In many in stances such men have been nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, as a matter of course. o Tor. YLSIA:49. The renians held a large and enthusiastic meeting in Washington last evening, and I understand preparations are being made to get up another this week. Large sub• sort Lions of money to the cause have been made within the pa 4 t few days. and our Irish citizens are thoieughly aroused in support or their !mailing countrymen. REJECTIONS The Senate to-day rejected the nomination of ex-Senator Edgar Cowan, of Pennsylva nia. as Minister to Austria. According to the conversation of Republican Senators, th ty do no consider that his politicrd view are such as should belong to a representative abroad, in view of the rebellion through which the country hasjust passed. The Pres. idont's nomination of 31r. Cowan was stated to be in place of Mr. Motley, resigned. IREI.AND. Mr. Nye intrAiteed a preamble and reso• lution ilechtrirg the sympathy of the United States with the Irish people,. in their strug gle agninq 11 oppression, and asked immediate consider/16m, but Mr. Sumner objecting, it went over.

RELIEF OF DEbT/ITTE IN 71/E sOUTII The joint resolution from the Senate ap propriating one million dollars for the relief of the destitute in the Southern States, came up in the House this afternoon, and gave rise to an animated debate, which is still going on at this writing. Butler and Logan availed thetas !Ives of the opportunity to ventilate their radicalism by abusing the Southern people. The speech of the latter was if anything more ridiculous than that of the • fortner, and, coming as it (lid from an original secessionist, it 'sounded strangely in the ears of men who bad beard him, in the same place, in the winter of 1861, declare in favor of shivery and againsteoereion, even threatening to resist the latter with the aid of the valiant men of Egypt, as his old dis trict in Illinois is familiarly culled. Times have changed, however. and the Abolition ists of '6l are now frequently compelled to rebuke the Radical fanaticism of some of the seimssionists of that date. orriciAL ORDER ASSIGNING DISTRICT COI- MANDERS IN TIIN SOUTH.

VIZ MILITARY TILL. The Senate took up the supplemental mil. itary bill and at this writing it is still under discussion. Judging by the vote on the first amendment propeseil by Mr. Drake, of Mill semi, it is the intention to pass the measure as reported by the committee. AIARIIIALL. COMMANDERN IN VIZ NOVIV. The assigninent of military commanders in the newly-created districts of the South. as announced yesterday, was made by the President alter ixounnunieatiort with Gener als Grant and Sherman. The latter advised the retention of Sheridan in the Louisiana and Texas District, and upon his recommen dation that officer was selected fur the com mand. These would-be impeachers are working among their Mends to prevent a recess or adjournment until next fall, as proposed or contemplated by the Semite. They say it would be tantamount to an abandonment of the impeaehment scheme, and, therefore, ought nut to be adopted. A NEW ELECTION DEMANDED The white and black Radicals are circu lating a petition to be presented to Congress in n day or two asking a change in the time for bolding elections for Mayor in Washing. ton, go 101 to afford an opportunity fbr elect ing a new Mayor in June next. Under ex isting law the mayoralty election will not take place until June of next year, but the negroes, inspired by their recent success in Georgetown, are anxious to repeat the oper ation ►n Washington, to which Forney says: Amen It is now believed that the trial of Sur ma will be postponed until the next (June) term of the Criminal Court. Chief Justice Clatter will then preside. The prisoner con tinues in good health. and is visited by his sister nearly every day. Ho is said to be cheerful, but spends most of the time in reading. THE PHILADELPHIA couxemitstur Senator Buckalew, and ex. Senator Cowan had an interview with Secretary McCulloch, to-day in regard to the reapixmitment of Colonel W. B. Thomas as Culit:dor of the Port of Philadelphia. Mr. Feswnden, of Maine, reported horn the Committee of Public Building and (hounds advmely upon the Joint resolution of Mr. Wilson, prohibiting the tuo of liquor in the Capitol. Waskinetnn, March 15. THE 'VIRGINIA DELEGATION The delegation appointed by the Legisla ture of Virginia called Yesterday upon the Senate's Committee on the Judiciary. The interview was of a highly satisfactory char acter? and the latter was assured of the ear nest intenfon of the s tate to return to her place in the Unimi um ::r proposed by Congress. The delegation just previous to their returning to Richmond a i 'heti the President of the United States, who, ac cording to the statement of one of the mem bers of the delegation. raid he was ap prised of the object of their mission; that n itwithstanding his opposition to tho recon struction bill. it was now a law of the boa, and he should faithfully execute it. The supplementary reconstruction bil was taken up. The question was on Mr. Drake's amendment, winch was modified by the mover so as to read, "That the Constitutions of the States referred to shall providd that all voting for State, County. and municipal oiniers shall Ie by ballot." The amendment was disagreed to. Ilezahington, March 17. Tha Senate yesterday after a twelve hours &N, len, finally passed the supplemental mil itary government bill, with several amend ments, which are not considered important. The debate last evening was quite anunamd, some ' , harp passages occurring between Trumbull, Howard, Fesseeden and others. The extreme Radicals endeavored to embar rass the bill by loading it down with amend ments, upon all of which several speeches were wide. Drake, of Missouri, awl Mor ton, of Indiana—new Senators—undertook to regulate the matter themselves. This, of course, was exceedingly objectionable to sonic of the old Senators, and the result was that the discussion waxed warm and quite ',engine' at times. Sumner quit openly de clared that he did not consider Vie !imposed measure, not the act of the 1d instant, a finality—and that he was opp)sed to bring ing states into tb.o Union which were ' burn of the bayonet." For this he was lectured by Stewart and Conlon, who denied the truth of the deelantifon of their friend from Masaaanisetts, t) at the Southern States, when admitted, v ould be "born of the bayonet." PHIL MU NITA A PPOINTM ENI P. It is reported here that the nomination of Men lifyfatu and Tia •ev, as Postmaster and Surveyor at Philadelphia. will not be confirmed by the Senate. Cameron still holds out in favor of his friend Walborn for the Postofftee, and it is understood that he will resist all other nominations for that po sition. Numw.trross BY VIE PRESIDENT. The Pre , ident to-day sent to the Senate the name of John W. Frazer, for iVseeor, and Alexander Crawford for Collector of the First District of Pennsylvania. MARKET REPORT.
