POLITICAL.

Official returns from all but three coun-
ties in Minnesota, and reliable reports
from these, give Marshall, Union eandi-
date for Governor, 1916 majority.
The latest additions to the vote for Gov
ernor in North Carolina show 2O,I84 for
Holden and 1862 for Worth.
1t is probable that the election of United
States Senator in this State will not take
placeat Incorporating session of the Leg
i~slature, but will be postponed until the ad-
journed session. Senator Sherman's term
does not expire until 1867.
The Kansas Legislature lately elected
is solid Republican, and composed of men
of more than ordinary ability. More than
half the number have served in the war,
and among them Colonies Wood, Blair,
Phillips and Jennison, are prominent.
Among the important measures that will
come before the Legislature will be the
reconstruction of the representative dis
t%ricts, and the amendments to the consti-
tuition in relation to negro suffrage.
The majority for Hon. Robert NJ. Pat
ton, of Lauderdale county, as Governor OF
Alabama, is about 5000 over Col. Bulger,
late of the G. S. A. VIM. R. Smith, ex-
Confederate Congressman, made but a
poor show in the race. Mr.. Patton has
been for about twenty years c~onsecutively
in the State Legislature, and was a men,
Der both of the secession and reconstruc-
ton Conventions, opposing secession in
the former, and taking high ground for
reconstruction in the latter-among other
things proposing apportionment OF a white
basis, which was carried. He was a Doug
las Democrat in 1860, and candidate for
%elector. OF the six Congressman elected,
five were Wings in the olden times.

removal OF GEN. steele.

General Frederick Steele, lately com
m~anding the United States forces in the
Western District of Texas, which includes
u Rio Grande frontier, has been super
seeded by General Weitzel, commander of
the Tw~enty-ffth corps. 1t was under
stood in Texas that the cause eff General
Steele's removal was the allegation that
he was on too intimate terms and in SYM
pathy with the imperial officers of the
Mexican border. He has been assigned to
the Department of the Columbia, COM
prisfng the State of Oregon and Washing
ton and Idaho Territories. 1t was under
stood in Texas that all the colored troops
of our army on that frontier were shortly
to be withdrawn and mainly mustered out
of service. They would be replaced by
regiments of the regular army.

The Alleged brands at PIthOIe.

The examination before the United
States Revenue Assessors of the proprie-
tors of certain wells upon Pithole Greek
against which the Government officers
had claims, was had yesterday at the office
of Assessor Lenhart. There were present
the representatives of the United States
Petroleum Company, and the owners of
the working interests in most of the noted
wells upon the Holmden Farm. The tel
egraphic dispatch stating that wells No.
AZ, So and 76 had been seized by the Uni
ted States officers was an entire mis-state-
ment of the case. No seizure has taken
place, and indeed the examination had was
more to straighten out a business perplex-
ity than to bring any definite charge
against the parties summoned. The sub
stance of the difficulty appears to be this ::
TIE United States Assessors and Collect
ors had reason to suppose that there was
more oil being produced, during certain
months, than was being returned for taxa
ton. Upon inquiry they found that the
agents ofcertain wells returned upon their
reports only the value of the working in
terest, and not the entire product of the
wells. An investigation was therefore
called, and it was found that some of
these agents, certainly wrongfully, but
whether with intent to defraud or not
an entirely different question-had claimed
to have an understanding with the hold
ers of the land interest to the effect that
the latter should take their share of the
oil from the tanks and pay their share of
the tax. The lawrequires that the produc-
ers shall pay the entire tax, leaving him
to make subsequent collections from the
land holders of their proportion. II rs
clear that the law has been violated, but
the offending parties claim that they fol-
lowed the custom of operators in thus
dividing the tax at the same time they did
the oil and that there was no intention to
defraud.
Several hours were consumed by the
in hearing the testimony, and
in the case was reserved until the
evidence should have been reviewed and
thoroughly examined-MeadviHe RepA6-

RevtvaI of the Temperance Cause.

Revival of the Temperance Cause.
The temperance movement, thrown in
the shade by the struggle with slavery and
the consequent rebellion and war, has been
lately revived by the organization of a
new National Temperance Society, in
New York, of which the Hon. William
E. Dodge, one of the most p~ublic-spirited
of citizens, is President, and among the
Vice Presidents are Bishop james, Gov
ernor Buckingham of Connecticut, and
Generals Howard and S. F. Carey. The
crusade against drunkards will be con-
Quoted by lectures and the circulation of
temperance tracts. An enthusiastic meet
ing, attended by upward of 1000 persons,
was held at Brooklyn on the 10th instant,
under the presidency of Colonel Wood,
the mayor of that city, in the church of
the Rev. DIR. T. L. Cuyler, the chairman of
the executive committee of the new league.
Impressive speeches were delivered by
many eminent men, and particularly by
DIR. Charles Jewett, of Norwich, Connecti-
cut, whose address, based upon political,
economical, scientific, and statistical con-
siderations, attracted considerable atten-
ton.

The London papers speak of a new in
yention to entrap burglars, which would
be a capital thing to put into practical use
generally. The depredator no sooner
commences in perfect ignorance of the Sc
cret arrangements, to force open the door,
drill the lock, or move the safe, than by
so doing he sends a telegraph message to
the nearest police office, exhibiting the
number of the safe he ~is=attacking, and
this number, registered in the police books,
has opposite to it the address of the house
in which the robbery is being effected.

Ruehanan a rrattor.

A few days ago Mr.. Trimble, of the
Tennessee Legislature, introduced into
that body a very stirring preamble and res
o%lutions rehearsing the crimes and villain
les of the master spirits of the rebellion,
and declaring Jefferson Davis, j. NJ
Mason, R. NJ. T. Hunter, Robert Toombs,
Howell Cobb, Judah P. Benjamin, John
Slidell, and Robert E. Lee, to be traitors,
who have justly forfeited their lives, and
who deserve and ought TO suffer the ex-
treme penalty of the law and be held as
infamous forever. Since then the resolu-
tions have been taken up, debated, amend
ed by including the names of James Bu-
chanan and John c. Breckinridge, and
passed the Senate by a vote of l6 ayes to
3 noes. The deliberate opinion, thus ex-
pressed, of the highest legislative body of
a Southern State, is a fit commentary upon
the apology which Mr.. Buchanan offers
for the closing scenes of his imbecile and
~traitorous administration Mr.. Trimble's
resolutions are a capital appendix to Mr..
Buchanan's book,

Reeonstruction i'm FIorldn.

The Florida Reconstruction Convention
adjourned sine die on the It'll inst, 1t de-
clared slavery abolished, annulled the or
dinance of secession, repudiated the rebel
wal debt and provided for the reception
of the testimony of negroes in all cases in
which they are interested; but the two
latter measures encountered strong opposi-
ton, and would not have passed, it APP
pears, but that the members plainly saw
that nothing less would receive the appro-
baton ofthe President and enable Florida
representatives to be admitted into Con-
gress. Previous to the adjournment, Gov.
Marvin, BY invitation, addressed the mem
bers of the Convention, complimenting
them on the thorough manner in which
they had done their work, and expressing
his particular pleasure that the right of
testimony had been granted to the freed
men. He said the colored troops are all
to be soon withdrawn, and that there will
be left from seven hundred to one
thousand white soldiers in the State.

0WAsHINoToN. November .

"The people never forget that success
must be followed by the restoration in due
time, and on just conditions, of the old re-
lations between such State and the Union 4;
and that to the permanent and beneficial
restoration of those relations, the re-estab-
lishment Of fraternal sentiments between
the citizens of all the States wa indis-
p%onsable. 1t is important now that the
people who have been in rebellion should
be thoroughly satisfied that the first wish
of the loyal people is the establishment
OF these sentiments.
"The war has brought great changes.
Among these the acknowledgements of
4, LOCO, 900 of slaves is the greatest and most
momentous. The conversion of this vast
population from bondsmen to freemen and
citizens imposes on the people of the
States in which this wonderful revolution
has taken place, on the people of the other
States, and on the Government of the
whole country, new and peculiar duties.
1t is important that these new citizens
should be assured that these duties will be
neither evaded nor neglected.
a cannot disguise my conviction that
the surest and shortest road to permanent
peace, settled order, sound credit, con-
tented industry, and general prosperity
in every State, is the frank recognition of
the right of every citizen, white or colored,
to protect his and his neighbours freedom,
and promote his and his neighbours well
fare, by his vote.
But l shall rejoice in seeing good
done, and in promoting the doing of it,
in whatever measure or kind, and by
whatever agency or authority. We made
war to save the Union. The Providence
of God made our war for the Union a
for universal freedom in America,
andcrOwned it with success. Now comes
the work of restoration and renovation.
Let it be prosecuted with wise patriotism,
good will and impartial justice, and
who will dare doubt that God will crown
his work also with success ~

The New South CaroIina nIaek

The New South Carolina Black Code.
An interesting debate in the South Car
OHM Legislature on the bill to regulate
the relations of the freedmen is reported
by the Columbia correspondent of the
New York Herald. An amendment was
proposed to make marriages of white and
colored persons illegal and void, and called
forth remarks fromseveral gentlemen, but
was finally rejected as superAuous. The
most exciting part of the discussion, how
ever, was over a proposition to strike out
the provision requiring the masters or
mistresses of colored apprentices to teach
them some trade or business. This was
strongly supported by a member repre-
sentingthe mechanical interests of Charles
ton, who commended that the proper place
for the negroes was OF the plantations,
and that if they are allowed to learn
trades they will deprivethe white mechan-
les of employment. Other members main
tanned that they had no constitutional
right to block any industrial avenue
against the freedmen, and that white
men, in fearing to trust the test of their
superiority to the negro by allowing the
latter to come into rivalry with them, are
in effect conceding that they do not con-
slider him really their inferior. The
proposition to strike out was finally laid
on the table by seventy yeas to thirty
