Improvements. Our town has at
last "wa'icd up to a sense of duty,"
during the day our ears are greeted with
the constant sound of the hammer and
aw our streets crowded with carpen

build'ngs arc being built and any
nmounl of repairing is being done nttho
old ones. Hi lgway in a short time will

B3uThtT0 has been quite a new
branch of business lately started in this
place that of boat building. During
1 ho lat two months past, some ten or
twelve boats have beeu built here aud
inn to different points on the Clarion
Mver, loaded generally with with Flour,
Pork, Roans, Molasses aud occasionally
an Engine for the oil wells. The boats
have generally found there way over the
rough waters safe, with but one or two
exceptions. Mr. II. Fullerton of
Brookvillo Jeff. Co., built quite a largo
lout, and had it heavy loaded with salt,
flour, molasses &e., and ptarted for
Armstrong's, run on a rock near
Reach. bottom tho boat broke in two

indications are to be seen. So far as
we have been able to learn, they arc
now in a white sand rock.

Alarming Indications. The fre
quent recurrences of collisions between
tho blacks and wdiites in this vicinity, of
which our local columns bear ample tes
timony, is an alarming indication. There
is no disguising the fact that the resi.
dent black population of the town is
fearfully demoralized through tho sym.
pathy of the garrison of the town. And
uuless some remedy is applied at onco
wc shall have trouble of a most serious
nature.
There was a time, two or three weeks
ago, when tho conduet of the black sol.
dies wai anything but what it should
be. Rut we are glad to be able to bear
our testimony to the efficacy of the strin
gent and salutary ordois issued by Gen.
Ames and Colonel Chamberlain, which
has checked this evil very materially, so
that now, iu their couduct as soldiers,
there is vastly less cause of complaint
against the garrison.
Rut in thjtr intercouse with the black
residents they have intusod snob ideaB
and awakened such dissatistuctiou at
their couditiou atucng tho latter, that the
safety of the community is really iu per.
il. We regret the occasion for making
its ann ouneeiiKn', but roir duty to the
public wjul-J remiio unfulfilled were we
n fnnfnl thn fact lnneer. We are I
really slumbering on a volcano, the mut
terings of which are already distinctly
beard, and occasionally through some
spot weaker than another, the flame
brinks forth. The general eruptiou is
likely to occur at any time. In such an
event the whites will be at the mercy of
tho blacks. We fear to place confidence
in the assurance like that apprehended
would be found otherwise than on the
side of their own race. It, is too late now
to temporize with this matter. It is too
late to delay the preparations for meet,
ing such an apprehended outbreak. If
such arrangements bo not promptly
made, there will bo a fearful reckoning
for some one. We do not know where
the responsibility rests, but it must be
met nt once, or the consequences will be
terrible.
If the blacks, acting under the advice
of bad counsellors, presume too far and
demand too much, they will surely ac
complish their own destruction. Coun
ting upon the sympathy of the garrisoa
now here, they may insult the whites
with opprobrious epithets, demand priv.
ileges that their race nowhere enjoys, as.
sume to dictate when, where, how and
tor how mucn tney will work, and gen. j
erally pursue such a course as to make
them obnoxious and intolerable ; but
then the civil law will step in and ban
ish them all from the State. And such
a law can and will be enforced as it is
enforced now in some of tho Northern
States. It will be well for those who
have car of these unfortunate and mis
guided people to admonish them of these
things. We print this in no spirit of
undindness towards the race, but rather
for their good, that by indusingthem to
a course of good behaviour in their
changed condition, they may bo permit
ted to remain here and cujoy their free.

Secretary Stanton and Mrs.
SuRRATT-ZVcdm'Hf of her Conesmr.
Wasuinoton, July It). On Thurday
morning thebth inst., the Rev. I'ather
Walter, pastor of St. Patrick's Church,
iu this city, went to tho War Office to
ask for a pass to visit Mrs. Surratt, igno.
rant ot the lact that she hau already
been condemned to suffer death on the
following day. He had never previous.
ly visited Mrs. S., nor did he know her
except by reputation. On application,
he was informed by Ucn. liaruic, A. A.
. to Secretary Stanton, that he could
not give him a pass without first consul
ting Mr. Stanton, who was out at tho
time. Father Walter returned home,
mid at 1 o'clock a. m., on the same day,
received a pass to visit the prison, sign
ed, by order of the Secretary of War,
Gen. Hardie, A. A. G.
The messenger who brought the pass
to Father Walter, being an intelligent
Irishman, Father W. entered into con
versation w ith him on the subject of the
execution, firmly asserting his belief in
Mrs. Surratt's innocence. In half, or
perhaps an hour afterward, Gen. Ilardic
himself called ot the residence of Fath.
er Walters, and alter some irrelevant
conversation, said : "Father Walter, you
made quite an impression on tho mind
of my incsseugor in regard to the exe
cution of Mrs. Surratt," to which Fath
er W. remarked that ho was firmly
impressed with her entire innocence.
Geu. Ifardio then said : ' Father Walter,
the pass you have will uot admit you to
the military prison to morrow, because
it is not signed by the Secretary of War. .
l want you to make me a promise to say
nothingof Mrs. Surratt's innocence, and
I will give yo;i the ueccssary paw."
Father Walter, naturally indignant,
immediately relused to aectdo to Gen.
IPs demand, giving him to understand,
in the plainest kind of language, that no
officials, civil or military, could cuforce
his silence on this point; aud remarked
tliat lie knew under whose authority he
(Gen. II.") was acting. Gen. Ilardio a
converted Catholic, by the way then
said, patronizingly, that as yet there
were no charges lodged against him,
Father W., at the War Department, to
which the latter rejoined that ho might
tell his master, Stanton, that he consci
entiously believed Mrs. Surratt guiltless ;
that he should proclaim his belief, and
that the War Department might hang
him if it thought proper.
Gen. Ilardio was about to go without
giviug Father W. the pass, when the
latter said : "Gen. Hardie, I cannot suf
fer Mrs. Surratt to die without adminis
tering the sacrament; I say yes to your
proposition ; give me tho pasB." Gen.
Hardie then drow from his pocket a pass
duly filled up and signed by Edwin M.
Stanton, admitting him. Father W., to
tho prison until after tho exenutiou.
Previous to the removal of Mrs. Sur.
ratt from the Carroll to the military
Prisou, Father W. had made application
to tho War Office for a pass to visit her,
sho being very ill, but in every iustance
his applications were denied, and up to
the very day before tho executiou of
Mrs. S. was deprived by the Socratary
of War of spiritual attendants. Ar u

Neoro Vottno. There are only
two States in tho Union where the ne
gro is tillowed to vote without n property
qualification. They are Vermont and
New Hampshiie, the former of which
has only eighty colored voters, and the
latter 190.
In Massachusetts every voter must,
within two years, have paid a Slate or
county tax, unless excused from taxa.
tion.
In Rhode Island a voter must own
real estate of one hundred and thirty
four dollars value, or of tho dear yearly
value of seven dollars over any ground
rent.
A colored person is not allowed to
vote in New York unless he has resi led
in the State three years, and is a free
holder in value of two hundred and fifty
dollars, and paid taxes thereon.
Massachusetts, which does not nt
home allow any man to vote who has not
paid a State or county tax directi, fnr
they all pay indirectly, it is very desir.
ous that the Southern Statet shall allow
negroes to vote without such a discrimi
nation. Sho goes in for universal
block suffrage at the South, while deny,
ing it to her poor whites at homo. This
is Massachusetts philanthrophy, or pre
ference for nctrro to white. E-in

The Ruffalo Courier is iucorrect in

unfortunately for her interests inlthe

An Affecting Scene at the
White house. Efforts were made
during all of Thursday night by counsel
and friends to secure a reprieve for Mrs.
Surratt, but President Johnson declined
to interfere. About balf.past 8 o'clock
Friday morning, Miss Surratt, accom
panied by a femalo friend, visited the
White House, having been there last
evening for the purpose of obtaining an
interview with the President. President
Johusou having given orders that he
would receive no one that day, the door
keeper stopped Mis3 Surratt at the foot
of tho steps leadiugupto the President's
office, and would not permit her to pro.
ceed further. She then asked perm's
sion to kc Gen"ral Muzzy, the Presi.
dent's Military Secretary, who promptly
answered the summons and ciuie down

As soon as the General made his appear

While thus weeping she declared her

she was convicted, and asserted that if
her mother was put to doath, she wished
to die also. The scene was hoart rend
ing, and many of those who witnessed
it, iucluding a number of hardy soldiers,
wero moved to tears. Miss S. having
become quited, gave vent to her feelings
in sileut tears, aud was filially persuaded
to take a scat in the East Room, where
she remained for several hours, jumping
up from her seat each time the front
door of the mansion was opened, evi.

Horrible MimDErt of a Woman
AND Child. The Three Murderers
Killed. We are informed thot a horri
ble tragedy took place in Madison coun
ty, about lour miles from London, lust
week, but our iuformaot could uot give
names, We recite this awful story as
we heard it. A farmer sold his farm to
thrfe nion, who gave him S15.000 cash
in p.itt payment. Io the eveaiog ho
and
child at home.
Some time after, a pdlar, who had of
ten stayed all night at tho house, drove
np and asked permission to remain, but
the fanner's wife declined, because it
was doubtful if her. husband returned
that night, and sho know there was a
largo amount of money in the house.
She remarked to the pedlar that if her
husband returned ho would meet Irin.
The pedler drove on, met the farmer and
returned. As they npproached the
house, the farmer observed a light in a
room in which he usually kept his pi
pers, and remarked to the pedlar that
there were burgleis in the house.
Tho pedler produced a pair of revol
vers, and the two, stationed themselves
at points where the burgleis would prob
ably attempt to escape, gave the r.iarm,
and the three men rushed out. The
pedler killed two of them, when the
third ran toward the farmer, who killed
him. Upon entering the house, the far.
mnr was horrified to find his wll'o and
child murdered. When the bodies of
the murderers were examined, it was
discovered that they were the parties
who had purchased the farm that day,
one ot tfcem being brother-in-law to the
farmer. Dayton Journal.
Horrible. At the conclusion of a
dogfight iu Mount Carbon on Sunday
afternoon of last week, the persons pre
sent adjourned to a groggery to drink
and carouse. While there, Thomas
Haggerty, a boatman, who resides at
Twenty .third and Spruce street, Phila
delphia, charged some of the parties
with robbing him of 18. While at
tempting to recover his money, a general
fight ensued, in which men, women,
children and even dogs partic'patcd.
Missiles of every description were used
freely, and black eyes, bloody noses and
confused countenances soon became as
numerous as tho conibatauts. During
the frightful mcloo, llaggorty was stab,
bed so badly by a man named Hugh
Rildle, that his bowels protruded, and
he did on Monday night.
OirThoOil City Register says' the
Pit Hole excitement still continues.
Towns arc springing up in that favored
locality, Rnd every one seeking to invest
his means in oil lands or leases thereat.
Ono day last week tho United States Pe
troleum Company sold fifteen leases at
auction, and the prices langed from
84,000 to 57,000 per lease. Just think
of paying a bonus of this amount, besides
giving to the company ono half of the
oil. Rut large fortunes are being made
there every hour, and the exsitcmcnt is
unabated. No one, so a friend tells us
is allowed to own any of the property in
that locality longer than fifteen minutes,
so that speculation has become legiti.
mate. Mining operations are busily
carried on everywhere and we think the
developments of the present season will
prove the most favorable ever before
known. Wc estimate tho daily produc
tion nt about 0,000 barrels per day, or
