Every citizen of Portland of common intel

actment, grog shops were closed up; our Jail

Another well just tested, is yielding about
Is barrels per day, but we are unable to OBJ

The Sheridan Oil Company, on the Coch-

is yielding probably from 30 to 40 barrels per
day
The Clarion Baasaer thus chronicles big

morning last AS barrel well was struck at
Blyson's Run, in the Clarion river 1t has
created great excitement. This well fully
demonstrates that we have oil all along that

On Saturday last, Mr Philip Collins. Of
Ebensburg, manager of the Ebensburg Oil
Company, struck oil at a depth Of three hun
dred and twenty seven feet from the surface.
The well is located in Allegheny township,
Cambria county, about eight miles from Eb-
ensburg, three miles east of Loretto, and In
close proximity TO Gibbons Loretto Springs.
Operations were commenced on the well on
the Sd of May, and month afterward to
the day success crowned their efforts Some
ten or twelve days ago, a vein of water was
struck, which, for a time, flowed freely, a
volume rising probably forty feet in the air

JOHN MITCHELL.

The arrest of john Mitchell viii be q
hard blow on the Daily News. It has been
doing yeonlan S service in the ranks Of the
Copperhc.d papers ever since the breaking
out of the rebellion and was one Of the
chief organs of the rebels in New York
city. Its proprietor, Ben Wood had just
imported Mitchell fresh from Richmond,
to take charge Of his paper and preach una
duierated rebel doc trine TO his patrons.
We are inclined to admire the enterprise OF
1 w God IN obtaining an editor, who has prov
ed himself an uncompromising and unre-
penting rebel during the last four years by
publishing the Richmond Examiner, the
organ Of the rebel government. 1t is re-
deening trait in the character of Wood to
come out thus boldly and acknowledge his
sympathy for and completely with traitors,
BY deed that speaks louder than words,
instead of the sneaking, cowardly denial
that has usually characterized the organs
of that party. As John failed to get that
rich plaHtotfoR In the South sreN stocked
aith aiqgcrs, Wood was only acting the
part of friendship ia finding him employ
nlent and home among congenial spirits.
Unfortunately for John he has been a little
too fast and Uncle Sam has provided apart
ments for him in Fort Monroe, which viii
probably be not quite so enjoyable as the
society of his New York friends. He viii
doubtless have time given him to take a
brief retrospect of his last four years expe-
rienee and perhaps to moralize little upon
the inconsistency of martyr for liberty in
one country fighting for slavery in another
He viii probably come to the conclusion that
the last state Of such man IS worse than
the first.
As Wood has set the example we may
expect to see others of that ilk importing
editors from rebeldom; we have no doubt
it would add spieiness to their column as the
chivalry, male and female, have remarka-
BE aptness in that line, besides it would aid
them greatly in displaying their true colors,
as they infinitely surpass their northern
friends in courage For the benefit of such
AZ mediate trying the experimeltwe would
suggest that though it might be difficult to
get any more convicts editors at present,
some may be obtained who are in a very fair
way for becoming conyicts

How TO SETTLE THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE
QUESTION. N.-We would give the suffrage at
once to four classes of Southern negroes.
First, and emphatieally, to every negro who
has borne arms in the cause of the United
States; second, to every negro who owns real
estate; third, to every negro who can read
and write; and, fourth, to every negro who
had belonged to any religious organization
or church for FIVE years before the war.
These points would cover every one that
ought to vote, and they would create in every
negro voter spirit of fmanhood as well as dis
cipline; some practical shrewdness, intellec-
tual development, and moral consciousness
and culture. 1t is well worth the consider
alton of the President whether something
like this should not be included in the
scheme of reconstruction. Y Herald

reoollect that they were similarly distressed

THE COMPLEXION IT Is COMING TO- -
Private commercial letters received. here say
that in the best informed political circles of
Europe, the belief is general that Maximil-
Ian has expressed to his father-in-law, King
Leopold, and also to his brother Of Austria,
the strongest possible desire to abdicate the
rickety throne of Mexico. The intimation
of this wish at the TuilIeries, through these
intermediary parties, is at the bottom of
much of the excitement in Paris IN regard
to Mexican affairs generally. 1t is much
more serious business for Imperialism, than
the defeat of a few Belgian troops at Taeam-
baro, to find the newly-instaled Emperor
alteady eager to get out of the concern, and

Now AND THEN.-A year ago General
Sherman wrote these words:
'If you admit the negro to this struggle
for any purpose, he has right to stay in fo1
all, and when the fight is over, the hand
that drops the musket cannot be denied the
ballot tp'
Gen. Sherman having thus claimed in
advance the ballot for the negro soldiers, his
present change of position cannot but excite
surprise in the minds of all interested in the
question or the man.
