SQUIRES The Boston Traveller makes the follow ing cheerful predictions: The conditions are favorable to a hearty and honest reun ion of the too long divided wings of the Republican party. The administration has successfully asserted its strength, while Mr. Conkling's friends, it should be remembered, have made their stand j strictly within the party lines, have ac cepted no alliance with its enemies, and are entitled therefor, to the respect due ; to loyal Republicans who have manfully asserted their preferences for a man not! unworthy of their devotion, and have at J last loyally yielded them to the will of, the majority. As to Mr. Coukling, per-1 sonally, the tongue of detraction and vi tuperation should now be silcut. lie, committed a serious mistake, a mistake which none recognized more fully than those Republicans who cherished the highest regard for his lofty character j and commanding abilities. He has paid the penalty of that mistake, and some will think that the expiation demanded of him is excessive. It is scarcely open to doubt that time will soon moderate j the harshness of tone and asperity of temper manifested toward him during the contest now closed. His twenty years of brilliant public service will lie remem bered by and by, as well as the one act of j folly, by which lie has, for the time, for-: fi-itcd his claim upon public life. The i American people are a people of just in-! stinctsand generous impulses. Partisan passion may, for the moment, sweep all ! before it, and lead them to cover an il lustrious name and an honorable rec ord with a transient cloud ot obloquy. But In the long run, the Republican par ty makes restitution in such cases. Mr. Coukling is defeated, but he is not dis honored. The Republican party will march 011 for a time without his leader ship, but unless he shall himself efface all the obligations of his record by arraying : himself among his enemies, it is tolera bly certain that in time to come, it will have need of hiui again. A blacksmith of Titusville, while spad ing- up his garden after a heavy rain a few days ago, found crude petroleum iu the little cavities made by his spade. lie dug a pit four feet deep, and it was full of oil In a short time. Another pit he dug in his potato patch produced two barrels an hour. Ileal estate is having a boom around that garden, and that black smith's wells yields him SIOO a day just now. More wells have been sunk in the neighborhood with good results. There are several theories in regard to this un heard-of presence of petroleum in large quantities so near the surface. One is that the oil is the leakage of tanks and pipe lines, which has sunk iuto the earth until it reached the gravelly deposits, in which it is now found in pools. Another is that this deposit lias been forced up from the true petroleum sand stratum by some unknown agency, and caught and retained in the stratum where it now lies. The New York Times furnishes the fol lowing anecdote: Mr. Laplnun was a classmate at Canandaigua Acadamy of | the late Stephen A. Douglass. The acadamy was at that time one of the leading educational institutions in the State, and young Lapham and Douglass were regarded by the faculty and their fellow students as the smartest scholars in the institution. In debates they were regarded as rivals, and always were pit ted against each other. Mr. Lapham oc cupied a seat at the head of the table in the boarding department and Douglass sat at his right hand. Mr. Lapham was compelled to leave the school for several weeks, and on his return found Mr. Doug lass occupying the seat at the head of the i table. Mr. Lapham demanded his seat, and Mr. Douglass Insisted upon his right |to retain it. The faculty finally decided j that the two young men should argue the case before the scholars, who would sit as a j try. The contestants accepted the situation and made elaborate speeches. The jury decided that Douglass was en titled to the seat. Lapham in relating this anecdote, used to say, "This was Steph en A. Douglass' first idea of squatter sovereignty." Senator G. V. Lawrence has written a letter withdrawing from the contest for State Treasurer. This gives Senator Davies almost a clear field. Business Cards.
