EpIToRs LEADER:-Is see by this mornings
Leader that in your remarks on the Union
Convention platform you say "it is chiefly
remarkable rather for what it omits to say
than for what it says" think when you
shall have carefully considered the subject
you will modify that opinion somewhat,
and not only that, but confess yourself mis-
taken. That it Is not what 1t should be on
the suffrage questionn@nearly all Western
Reserve men will admit. But the commit
tee on Resolutions, with two or three eX-
ceptions, were men not ready to 90 into
that question with any prospect of a COM
plete solution of itnow. gaG g ioiAI Ya
1t was, therefore, in view of the present
difficulties surrounding it that the latter
portion Of the first resolution was framed.
W "Resoloed 1st, That the name and fame of
Abraham Lincoln stand out from the his
tory of the epoch unrivaled and alone, and
while we deplore his untimely and
cruel death, and venerate his memory, it be-
comes us to initiate his toisdon,, Jirmness and
moderation In the tredtn,ento of Uered questions,
and especially to initiate his example in foaiting
for the solution Of difficulties TO be furnished 6u
thefnogressQf time and the logic Of euents."
+, Itwas, therefore, left, and designedly so,
In this resolution, undisposed of, to be work
ed out by 'the logic of events"
This subject was contemplated in the
sixth resolution, which was as follows: .'
,rg "Resolued, Thatiwhile we are anxious for
an early reconstruction of fraternal rela-
tiohs with the insurgent States, we demand
that such reconstruction shall be at such
time and upon s,lcb terms as will give un-
questioned assurance. of the peace and Sc
curity,i not only tof the loyal people of the
rebel States, but also of the peace and pros
perity Of the Federal Union" "'' ~ o. 'is a.
n! !Thisloo to the whole subject being one
which Congress may finally control by re-,
flsing to the rebel States the exercise of
the rights and functions belonging to the
loyal States except at such time and upon
such terms as illihsure peace and security
to theosloyap people of the rebel States
and also to the Union" - =, ~ :
ew This was accepted by those who favored
immediate general suffrage" as tending
directly to chat result and leading, by Che
necessary ''logic of eyents,' inevitably to
the enfranchisement Of the ,colored race, K,
, 1t was purposely so framed that all meas
ures might be adopted tincIudihg gro suf-
Tracey that might be demanded in rthetinal
adjustment oflthe condition of the rebel
States, 1t was contemplated by many of
the Convention that 1t might be necessary
to erIffanchise the blacks, but they were
unwilling so to declare. absolutely until
they had more igh&bBol rsdto 10 .sHooJoW
,d1By examining the eighth, resolution you
will find think still more reason to con-
clude that you were mistaken III your first
impression on the subject. But have not
time now TO say more, ,'batwill cahyou at
tention further to the subject." :sils vpor

THE PROPERTIES OF THIS COMPA.
i ny consist of 423 acres of the most desirable
OIL Lands in these States. selected with care and
judgment by practical men. after prospecting and
examining the most productive regions and locali-
ties. A large part of it is situated on Dunkard
creek Green county, Pennsylvania, where, in pro-
portion to developments, the quantity and quality
Of the Oil found, is superior to Oil creek, it com
manding higher price in the Pittsburg market.
The lands in West Virginia are located in Mon
ongeia and Wettell counties. and are considered
among the best in the State. 1850 '''+ .'
In Ohio, the Company property is located in Knox
county, where the indications are most favorable,
Oil of superior character as q lubricator being
found at depth Of $50 feet on adjacent lands, and
within few feet IF the Con panv's property.
The Company are already sinking one we'll, and
have arranged to commence two more as soon as the
necessary machinery can be put on the ground.-
THREE WELLS have recently been struck only q
short distance from the property of this Company.
EITHER ONE Of which would, in one year, nearly re-
pay the entire capital Of the Company.
The officers of this Company. in placing its stock
before the public, are confident that the induce
ments offered are not surpassed by any Company
in the country. The Capital Stock is small for the
amount of valuable Oil territory the Company pos
sess, and the assurance of speedy and largo re-
turn to the stockholder Is almost certain.

THE CITY.

MAYoRs CoURT.-Tho continued gambling cases
were again brought before tho Mayor this morning.
In the examination Of the cases, his Honor took
occasion to advert to the law passed by +he last
Legislature, providing for the punishment OF per
sons convicted of keeping faro-bank, and said
that, had he been member OF that Legislature, he
would never have voted for such law. As long as
the State of Virginia contained cow hide and the
institution OF slavery within Its borders, he
woulJ never consent to law that inflicted
the punishment Of stripes upon white man.-
However. as the law had been passed, and as
he acted in the capaciy-of committing magistrate,
he was bound TO perform what the law required oil
him. The Mayor also animadyerted upon the action
OF those members Of the Legislature who passed a
law in the morning furnishing the exhibitors OF faro,
and, at night encouraged TIT offence by patronlzlng
the game-going to the extent, even, OF keeping I
pack of cards in their pockets, as shown in the
case of one member of that body when the arrest
was made by the officers.
One of the gambling cases was disposed Of by re-
handing the accused parties to appear before the
Hastings Court on the I'd Monday III May
Ia the other case, the Mayor in the absence Of
persons whom he deemed necessary witnesses, said
that he would continue the case TO next Wednes-
day.
Upon this decision of the Mayor quite an inter
estine debate arose between his Honor and Mr.. Ly-
ons, counsel for the accused.
Mr.. Lyons wished to have some satisfactory evi-
dence of the existence and materiaty of the wit
nesses expected TO be brought forward by the Com
meath and demanded as a right in behalf of his
clients that the names of these persons should be
declared. Did the Commonwealth intend to estab-
lish a system of espionage whereby persons should
be brought forward To testify in of this kind
merely on the allegation OF unknown parties that
il was thought that they knew something about it /!
Ifnot, would the Mayor make known the names Of
the expected witnesses
The Mayor, in answer, said that the Common
wealth contemplated no such action. A Subpoena
would be issued On certain person whose evidence
he deemed necessary for the ends OF justice and he
would have the party before him; but frequently
the ends OF Justice were defeated by making public
the names OF witnesses, he did not think Improper
to aceede to Mr.. LIS request.
After lively colloquy of some half an hour in
duration the matter was finally settled by the absc-
lutte refusal OF the Mayor to give the information that
Mr.. Lyons desired. Mr.. Lyons, meanwhile, remain
ing OF the same opinion, viz that it was night
enioyed bv clients TO know the name of the mystic
rious witness.

The LATE FIRE.-It was stated in the Evening

among the first that arrived at the ire yesterday
morning made an effort 10 get a ladder to the
window of the third story chamber, but was or
dered to dssst il is said, by the Fire Brigade, who
do not allow any Interference with their operations.
As this has been magnified into grave reflection
upon the Rremen, Unauthorized 10y the facts, it is
proper to state that Captain Hayward testified be-
fore the Jury Of inquest that he descended from
the second story OF the bnldng - for the purpos>.
of getting longer ladder, iG possible, TO reach the
third story" eve quote from the record.) "When
the ircmeu arrived, approached a member Of the

sponded, 'lts none Of your business, and there
