The Oh Fever.

The oil fever seems TO rage with unusual
violence in the neighborhOod OF Franklin
lust now, and the greatest results are ex-
peeted from the Developments already in
progress. Messrs. Hoover and Plummer
nave tubed their new well Oh the Island
in the river, two miles below town, and
they are satisfied that it will yield from
eighty to one hundred barrels per day.
Taking into consideration the locality and
facility of getting TO market, this we'll
is as valuable as any on Oil Creek. There
are other wells in the immediate vicinity
that arp yielding largely, and every day
will witness new sdeFelopements, since a
large humber of wells are being bored, and
are now reaching the depth where oil is
found. On the Allegheny, above Oil Greek,
several good wells have recently been test
sd On Sugar Creek the excitement has
got up as far Rsf Co0perstown, and large
sales of oil territory have recently BEEN
.consuIhmHted. A number of wells are be-
ing bored, and good shows OF oil have been
obtained. Look out for great develope-
ments in that region. On the Two Mile,
PatcheIl and Reds Run, prospecting Is
going ahead with much vigor. We hear
Of extensive purchases ofttrritory by esst-
ern companies on Sandy Creek. Indeed
the whole region IN the vicinity of oil pro
ducing districts is now In market On
French Greek several new companies are
commencing operations. The Mccormick
& Mckitrick Company has commenced

Foreign Items,

I The stables built for the Emperor's stud
near the bridge of the Alma are now COM
plete, with the exception of the interior
of the riding-schooL. This building is 8
vast hippodrome, nearly square; the floor
is covered with sand and sswdust and the
walls are wsinseotted and padded for the
benefit of riders thrown from their horses.
There is a gallery capable of holding thirty
persons, and the building is lighted from
the roof The stables are composed of
three nsves separated by arches and di-
vided into boarded stalls, each of which
bears the name of the horse that occupies
it. The managers are so constructed that q
portion always contains water. There is
a large, loose box at the extremity Of each
nave. The fountains I'M thea court-yards
are supplied With water from the Seine
T The statistical return. of the carriage
horses which dsily pass through the
Boulevard des Itsliens proves their num-
Der to amount to 1880, which, combined
with the following details as to coach
building, convey to one the comfortable
idea that the inhabitants of Paris can sell
dom require to walk. 1t appears there are
two hundred eosckmskers four thOus md
artisans employed in the trade. The sum
realized by this branch of industryis com
puted at twenty millions yearly, or $780,
600. Eighty years ago the humorlst Mer-
cier held up English carriages to the imi-
tation of the Paris coachbuilders for their
superior hghtness, convenience and dura-
bility. If the old man could. see the re-
suits of hissdvice he certainly would be
more than satisfied and would acknowl-
edge that the carriages now built in Paris
can vie with any turned out Of 3 London
coaehmaker's yard.

The fluctuations in the price ofgold, and
the great excitement of the elections, alike
limit all transactions in trade to actual ne
cessities There is considerable fear of
stock on the part of dearlers and jobbers
and prices continue week at the heavy de-
cline oflast week. Until the Presidential
election is over, little will be done. Full
three-ffths of the factories have reduced
their production from one-hslf to three
quarters; and this check to production
must eventuate reaction in prices of alS
staple goods in the spring. Perhaps bet
ter demand may arise in the latter end Of
the season, but it is not expected There
is a better demand for prints, at the great
decline submitted TO last week, and some
iobbers are replacing their stocks in conse-
suence. a futher decline has however,
taken place in prices, snd the market is
very weak. Brown and blesched shirtings
and sheetings are rather hrmer, with an
improved demand. .Denims, stripes and
ticfu are m0resesdy, aud Canton fanels
more active. Woolen goods show no re-
duction Prices continue at the recent de-
cline, with, however, more activity in all
desirable goods, especially fancy cassimerez,
cloakings, etc. Shawis are rather slow Of
sale, prices weak. Delsines are more ami
mated but at a decline. -.

A rarlslan Confidenee nan.

The Paris correspondent of London
paper writes as follows -f et.
ga curious swindling case has Just come
on before the Con- eetioual Police of Paris
The prisoner is Montenegrine hsnd-
some young fellow of fve-and-t twenty, call
ing himself the Great Sendar of Medun-
um, Duke de Grso, Prince Of Montenegro,
ETC. etc. His real name is Vladimir Mil
wonitowich, and his genius for plunder sp-
pears TO hsve been almost equal to the
creduiity of his dupes. He seem to have
excited warm interest in the bosom of q
certain Countess Gaetsni, whom he accom-
panied to the Hotel du Louvre she intro
dueed him to the director of the Credit
FoneieT, believing him TO be what he re-
presented himself, and that functionary,
at her Recommendation, advanced him not
less than f1, 900. he gave as deposit a
box 'full of jewels" which, on investigsy
tion, it is needless to say, we're found to be
paste. --- adi
But, strsnget to say, this money seems to
have been returned, for ne was not prose
cuted by the Credit Foncier, bat by cou-
pie Of Paris trsdesmen, who wsEe eredu-
Ions enough to believe all tb0 stories he told
them of wanting monegs 90 buy q sword to
make present TO tho Prince Of Wales, and
to supply him with clothes and linen, snd
/ to supply him with cash, without the least
difficulty They protested, however, that
it was their knowledge Of his having Z
credit st the Credit Foncier that induced
them to treat him as s valuable client
Theprisoner admitted he was under cloud
just now, but he was only waiting for re-
mittsnees, and would pay every sou; he
maintained that he was 3 very great man
at home, and that his difficulties arose from
political causes beyond his control He
was dissgreeably surprised at being SEN
fenced to eighteen months imprisonment.

are used in cookery, this is much less the
case than in Europe where oyster sauce Is
common with various fishes, with turkey,

Edward Everett on the Emancipation
t Proclamation. I

In his speech in Boston, Edward Everett
took bold ground on the subject of slavery,
This is what he says;
Twill add that it is very doubtful whsth-
CT any act of the Government of the
United States was necessary TO iberRte the
slaves in State which is in rebellion
There is much reason for the opinion that,
by the simple act of levying war against
the United States, the relation of slavery
was enthusiastically 50 far IS con-
Germs the duty Of the United States TO rec
ognige it, or TO refrain from interfering
with it. Not being founded on the law o.
nature, and resting solely on positive local
law and that not of the United States,
as soon as It becomes either the motive
or pretext Of an unjust war against
the Union-sn efficient instrument in the
hands Of the rebels for carrying on the
war--s source of military strength to the
rebellion and of danger to the Govern
ment at home and abroad, with the add
tionsl certainty that in any event but its
abandonment it viii continue, In all future
time, to work these mischiefs, who can sup
pose It Is the duty of the United States to
continue to recognize it To maintain
this would be contradiction in terms. It
would be TO recognize s right in q rebel
master to employ his slaves in acts Of re-
beHion and treason, and the duty Of the
slave TO aid and abet his master in the COM
mission Of the greatest crime known to the
law. No such absurdity can be admitted,
any citizen Of the United States, from the
President down, who should, by any overt
act recognize the duty of aslsTe to obeyE
rebel master IN hostile operation, would
himself be giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. .-7 7C i-1t 'isf sii Z

A state Right 1that Il Overlooked.

In these days when Rebels and Copper
heads pirate about Stste rights, it would be
well for them to remember that there are
certain State rights which belong to all
the citfzons Of the United States. Each
citizen of every State has a right Of -citi-
zenship in every other State 1t was a
right well established and recognized before
the adoption of the Constitution as well as
By it. The doctrine is thus foreibly stated
by Professor Taylor Lewis, of Union Col
lege:
IF the letter Of the constitution is
against such q docLrin, history is far more.
Ihs man of Plymouth has the sam g right
in Virginia as the man Of Jamestown
he has the same right TO buy land there to
hold them as resident or nonresident
owner, TO settle on them when he pleases,
to reserve them for his children, and to
make such children, if he pleases, future
inhabitants of that State. For this he is
justified IN fighting. For this original
State Right he is now fighting. Every
northern soldier nowin Virginia has right
to be there even if the necessity Of war
did not send them there.
eLet Us keep the great truth steadily
before the nind-the right of these States
in each ether; the right of each state and
of the people of each state, in every
other state; their right to all the ben ehts
which flow from their common nationality,
created by history and confirmed BY con-
vention. This is the grest and invaluable
state right Every individual holds il, not
from any grant or purchase made by the
state in which he lives; not from any con-
cession from the states collectively orEany-
thing respecting them not from any re-
seryation made on his behalf, but from
that original birthright citizenship which
made the states, the nation and the Union
as all alike, one harmonious, INVISIBLE work
proceeding from one and the same worang q
power CWe, the people ofthe United
States, DO orda1n and establish this Con-
stitution for ourselves and our posterity.i
There spoke this one ancient invisible
sovereignty il peaceful convention. It is
the same voice that is now uttered on the
battle Geld, amidst confused noises and
garments rolled IN blood

A Good Example.

One hundred and eighty Union voters
in the End Ward, not having been brought
out in the recent State election, the Ward
has been diyidsdinto sixteen districts and
q vigilance committee appointed for each,
with view of getting cut every vote on
the sthiof November.
This is an excellent example and should
be initiated by other wards in the city.

CurIositles of French Restaurants.

GurIOsitIes of French Restaurants.
The Paris correspondent of the london
star writes a. follows p
Restaurants for the working classes in
Paris have nowadays recourse to every
saeeies of invention TO attract attention.
Ilbsi week, one Just opened in the Fsu
bourg Montmartre, promises dinner Of
two courses snd q dessert to whoever
writes, in legible hand, the answer tos
rebus offered every morning for solution by
the dame Gs comptoir Another, IN the

The result may be better imagined than
described. The eager anxiety depicted on
the countensnce of every 0ilvrier, as he
nervously examined and finally ate his
sausage, would have supplied phrenolo-
| gist with many good subjects for study.
The expedient proved most remunerative
to the proprietor; but the quarrels that en-.
sued were of so serious nature that the
police have interfered, and the master of
