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.
