Oh-Many of our citizens know that
for some time past it has been asserted
that there were Indications of oil on the
farm of Mr.. T.. Stcarns, just east of
town, and in the 'neighborhood of his
farm. We have paid no attention to the
reports, thinking they wereof the Wild
goose order. We have heatd, however,
during the past week, that gentlemen
familiar with the oil business have made
examinations in that locality, and pro-
nounce the indications ofsoil very good
They fouRa the oily substance floating
on the surface, some ~sf which they
gathered into bottles. If these repre-
sensations are true, we would like to
see a company organized for the pur-
pose of enriching themselves, the town
and the lucky proprietors of oil land.

Confectionery---Mr. f. n. Chase has
now in store alarge and excellent stock
of goods, and surrounding towns in
tending to celebrate the Fourth should
bear in mind that much that they need
for the occasion can be purchased to
better advantage of Mr.. Chase than ut
any other place in Iowa. We desire
tocall particular attention, however, to
his stock of Confectionery, which for
variety and quality has few, if any,
equals west~of Chicago. He has ON
hand the uery best CONNECTIONS, and Ne
happen to know that he is selling below
Dubuque prices. This should at least
secure him liberal jobbing trade from
this section, as men are pretty apt to
consult their own interests. Those in
terested are requested 10 ascertain of
Mr.. Chase as to whethersor no we have
told the truth and given good advice.

A correspondent Of the Richmond
Bulletin, writing from Washington,
gives his views very frankly Of the duty
Of the people of Virginia, so far as
apoliey" is concerned. He says:
I have learned enough since my ar
rival here TO satisfy me that the great
struggle when Congress meets viii be
on the question Of admitting the South
ern representatives to their seats. You
may rely upon this: If any man be
elected 10 Congress from the South
whose loyalty during the war was not
above reproach, he 1uiN Be refused admit
trnce. A majority of such reflections
will place the South in condition of
misrepresentation in Congress, and
viii continue military government in
the States. II behooVes your electors,
therefore, to prepare TO meet the radi-
Gals upon this issue, by elecing those
only who can pass muster. As the
French say, csSt qlle e premier pas ga
eoaL Your first step must be to secure
representation in Congress That done,
the way will be clear for the future de
velopments Of yoEr policy. Justice 70
Mr.. johnson requires this at the hands
of the South, and it is TO be hoped that
they will not fail TO elect men who we've
not identified with the Confederate
cause. True Podey demands thi5 ard your
people should begin % understand Il Mr..
RidgeWay, perceive, is q candidate for

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LIFE OF PRES
IDENT JoHSsox-The New York Times
opens an editorial under this title with
the following estimate of the value of
the Presidents life: The first duty of
President Johnson to the country is to
take care Of his health Wemean pre-
eisely this The very foremost of his
public obligations is to keep we'll No
patriot was ever more solemnly called
upon to die for the country than he is
to live for country. Since this Repub-
lie had an existence, never was there a
life of such consequence TO it as his.
This comes not from his special per
sonal qualifications for his Office, great
though shey are, but from the peculiar
circumstances in which he holds that
Office. There isno Vlce-President be-
hind him to furnish a successor to his
place for the rest Of his Presidential
term, should he be taken away. Sens-
tor Foster, the present President of the
Senate, would succeed tothe Presiden-
tial position, but could occupy it only
until new President could be chosen
by the people. The death of President
johnson would be the greatest Of pub
lie calamities, because it would force
the country into all the fierce excite
ment and agitations of 3 Presidential
canvass in this transitional period of re
construction"

me Aon horace Maynard made
speech at GreeneyiIle, Tennessee, on
the l4th inst We find very brief
sketch of it in the New Era of the 10Th.
After discussing several schemes for
tho colonization of the freed negroes Of
the South, the Ere ssys, he finally an
nounced that " he was in favor Of the
negro working his way back to Africa,
q country capable of sustaining pop
ulation equal and greater than any 9TH
er division Of the habitable globe" He
did not say how he expected the ne
groes, or how many centuries he
thought it would require for them to
make their way back" ~
On the question Of negro suffrage. he
said, every thing was premAture-we
were not in a condition to settle, or
even debate the question, as to wheth-
er the negro was TO have the right TO
exercise the elective franchise. This
was matter with which the Federal
Government had nothing to do, and 50
far as the State governments were con
oerned, they were not IN a condition to
determine the qualification Of the voter,
st least until their relations to the Gov
eminent of the United States, as q
member Of the Federal Union, was rec
ognized."
just before the election Mr.. Maynard
in card TO the voters of his district
stated that he was opposed to negro
suffrage" The subject was not prema
ture", then.
The Era says it had but one objec
ton TO this speech, "and that was, i
was little too much on the non-committa
style" 1t Is something unusual fol
Maynard's trumpet to give forth al
uncertain sound" What could haT,
been the matter with him 2 At tn,
home of the President, and inspired b,
the spirit of freedom and independence
which dEells amid the mountains o
East Tennessee, we should have ez
pected something from him equal t
the occasion and the place We cal
only account for his failure-if indeed
he did fail--to speak with his usua
bOldness and decision, by the surmis
that, as man Of progress, he is ahes'
of the people, and is waiting for then
to catch up.
