Some of those senatorial gentlemen
who, elected as Republicans, are now fol-
lowing the President in his desertion of
the Republican party, are getting into
s~calding-hot water. The Senate of Penn
s~ylvania passed a resolution the other day
requesting Edgar Cowan, who misrepre-
sents that State in the United States
Senate, to resign. 1t was supported by
every Union mar in that body, and will
undoubtedly pass the House of Represen-
tatives by a vote equally decisive. Mr..
Cowan will probably not resign, for when
he adopted his present course, he must
have deliberately determined to trample
on the principles of his party, but he will
at least be shown up to the world in his
true character as a deserter, unanimously
repudiated by the party which he has be-
trayed.
Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, Mr.
Cowan's companion in treachery, has also
come to grief. The Legislature of his
own State has, by s two-thirds vote, passed
resolutions indorsing the action of the
true men in Congress, and condemning
the Presidents veto. Says the first reso-
luton:
should be guilty of deeeiving the Presi-
dent, and of Incorporating oar eonstitu-
eats, if we failed, at this time, to declare
that his message vetoing the Freedmen's
Bureau bill, in its general tone and spirit,
has caused pain and disappointment among
his true friends and supporters in our State,
and has been hailed with exuberant Joy and
exultation by every man who sy1spathized
Vih the rebellion, or who was cold and
Indifferent when treason threatened the
life of the Republic
All.the Union members of both Houses
voted for this resolution, and only those
who sympsthized with the rebellion voted
against it.
The next resolution declares:
"That we most cordially indorse and
appTo0s of the action Of such Of oar SEND
tors and Representatives. an Congress as

them to resist the admission of Represen-
tatives to Congress from the ~disorganized
States until peace is fully secured, and I'M
til the people of such States shall haze

to all men WithiH their borders"
Senator Doolittle could not have been
more pointedly rebuked had he been
out for cepsure by name. The
resolution passed the Senate by a vote of
81 ayes to 10 nees, and the House by g.
ayes to 80 noes. The Union press of Wis
without a single exception, con-
denim the veto message, and many leading
Journals call upon Mr.. Doolittle to resign.
He may not do so, but he will never be
reelected.

ator Stewart of Nevada, who are also

The Richmond shooting Affair.

The Republic of Saturday gives the fol-
lowing account of the shooting affair be-
tween Mr.. r. d. Ogden, of the Richmond
Theatre, and Mr.. j. Marshall Hanna, local
editor of the Richmond Examiner:
"The difficulty grew out of an article
in the local column of the Examiner of
Thursday, which was replied to by Mr..
Ogden in a card in the Enquirer of Fri
day, in which Mr.. Hanna's name was
mentioned as the author of the E.canlineg
article, and in which his character and an
tecedents were freely spoken of. Between
II and u o'clock yesterday, Mr.. Hanna,
in company with Mr.. Semple, went to the
theatre, and, after applying a number of
times at the door for Mr.. Ogden, Mr..
Semple went to his room and informed
him that Mr.. Hanna wanted to see him on
business Of Importance. Mr.. Ogden re-
piled that he was enghged at that time,
but that he would have business in the
street in an hour or SO, aud that when he
had occasion to come down Mr.. Hanna
could see him.
Between one and two o'clock he went
down into the street, and was passing
down the east side of Seventh, towards
Grace, when Mr.. Hanna, who was on the
opposite side, came to the middle of the
street and called to Mr.. Ogden. He halt
ed, when Mr.. Hanna said, Mr.. Ogden,

qairer Of this morning? Mr.. Ogden re-
piled, 4 think l am was going on to

and fired at Ogden. Mr.. Ogden then

Hanna, by this time, had commenced re-
treating toward the west side of the street,
and got behind a small tree on the side
walk. The firing was kept up until four
shots on either side were fired. The police
then came up and arrested both parties,
and took them to the Second Ward sta

day evening last at his residence neal
Wheeling, Va, at the advanced age Of
seventy-three. Mr.. Campbell was born
in the year 1892. He was originally a
Presbyterian, but in 1872 became a Bap-
fist. Soon after, he commenced the for
nation of congregations, among the mem
beTs Of that denomination, who rejected
sn human creeds, and accepted the Bible
only as q rule of faith and practice. This
movement excited great opposition in the
Baptist church, and in 1927 he was form
ally excluded from its fellowship. He
continued, however, to push on his work,
and IN 1893, the new sect, which had
adopted the name of Disciples" num-
bered e hundred thousand. Since that
time it has increased rapidly and steadily
and, in 1885, had 200 churches with an
estimated membership of 100000
greater number than that of any other
Protestant denomination in the United
States, save the Baptists, Universalists and
Methodists.
In ls4l Mr. Campbell founded Bethany
College, one of the most Aourishing and
successful in Virginia, and the only one
in that State which has throughout the
wal remained steadfsstly loyal. He has
always been an active worker, and has
participated in many religious and theo-
logical controversies, the most memorable
of which was his debate with Robert
Owen on the evidences of Christianity.
His death viii be deeply mourned, not
only by the members of his own denomi-
nation but by Christians everywhere.

Thus it will be seen that in 1864 every
one of these cities gave a Democratic ma
jority. Now every one of them elects the
Radical Republican ticket. This is a
happy index and omen of the result of the
elections ofthe year.
The spring elections in New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut will be watched
with great interest. That in the former
state, at which a Governor and Legisla-
ture are to be chosen, trsnspires on Tues
day next. The Republican State Com
mittee have made a canvass of the state,
and estimate the Republican majority ct
s,s4O. They are seldom mistaken, and
we DR. ediet that the result will not vary
900 from these figures. The majority for
Lincoln in 1854 was apo. The Con-
necticut election comes off on the first
Monday in April-three weeks from next
Monday. The canvass is warm and the
result impossi bic to predict. The defeat
of an equal suffrage proposition in that
state last fall, which demonstrates the
mean conservatism of which Connecticut
is capable, is 8 bad smen for the success
of the Republicans.

The returns thus far received from the
spring elections show a most gratifying
succession of Republican victories, and de-
monstrate that the great party Of freedom
and equal rights, instead of losing, isgain-
ing groundl The first election of impor-
lance during the year was that for Mayor,
in Portland, Maine, which took place on
Monday. The result was the triumph of
the Republican candidate by a vote of
1897 to 9l6 for his eopperhead opponent
an unprecedented and overwhelming ma
jority Of more than two to one. This vie
tory was followed up on Tuesday by
others not less gratifying On that day
several cities of Western New York held
their municipal elections. We have re-
turns from three of them, Rochester, Os-
wego, and Utica, all showing Republican
triumphs. In 1864 the vote for Governor
in these cities was as follows:

1t is an evidence that even in Novem-
Der last when prices were much higher
than at present, within two miles of III
t~usville, more than one hundred wells had
stopped, most of them on account of the
government tax, being wells which would
yield from five to seven barrels per day.
Generally these were owned by poormen,
who were greatly oppressed by the tax.
The permanent production of the eoun-
try must eventually be obtained from
pumping wells yielding but a few barrels
per day, and legislating these small wells
out of existence, besides the wrong and
injury to their owners, has a direct tend
eney to destroy the entire oil production
of the county, one of the largest and most
important branches of its industry.
= In 1865 there were in Venango county,
Pa, TAI producing and 1928 non-produc-
ing wells.
There are about one hundred and ninety
four refneries in the United States, pay
ing dues amounting to 50, 1874, O23.77, on
l3,97O,O6l gallons of refined.
Should Congress repeal the duty upon
crude petroleum the production wiIfprob-
ably be increased as herein before estima-
ted. How long the present production
will continue is purely a matter of sur
mise; but, from present appearance
and considering the permanent character
of the wells in Asia-it seems reasonable
to suppose that it will always be sufficient
for the wants of this country.
Sho1ld it, however, come to an end, an
ample and permanent supply of oil will
be obtained, but at higher prices, from the
shales and rich bituminous Goals which
are found in almost all parts of the Uni
ted States, and in the greatest abundance.
Without going into the details of the
calculation, the Commission give it as
their opinion that the consumption of re-
fined petroleum will increase rapidly in
the United States, particularly in the
Southern States, and if the duty upon
crude should be abolished, the revenue
from refined at twenty cents per gallon,
may be expected to amount to six millions
of dollars per annum.
The Commission declines to recommend
any change upon naptha as at present adj
vised, as difficulties in collection of the
tax, and fraudulent evasions, might result
from different duties upon that article and
upon Illuminating oil.

The ValIandIgham-JO hnsOn Meeting
In Dayton.

The ValIandigham-IOhnaOn Meeting
fn Dayton.
On Saturday night they had a grand
johnson ratification meeting at Dayton.
The character of the gathering may be
judged from the Journals report. That
p says that Hthere were about two
hundred persons there, and one very we'll
posted Union mar" In order to give the
affair a non-partisan appearance an effort
was made to get this solitary Union man
to take q place on the platform. But the
fellow was much too sharp for that and
by mastery strategy effected a successful
retreat, without loss. The one hundred
and ninety-nine Copperneads we're thus
left to run the meeting alone, and Mr..
Vallandighsm calamity assumed the
leadership. They had attempted to get
Ex-Governor Anderson to preside, but,
though Charlie A. isn't quite sound on
President Monroe, he knew enough to
keep out of that scrspe. So, as Vallan-
digham dolefGlly remarked, in nominating
8 Coppery gentleman, rejoicing in the
name of Houck, for President, "it seemed
to devolve upon the Democracy exclusive
" to indorse the President in his patriotic
course" Val was right for once in his
life. Mr.. Vallandigham having got the
meeting organised, proceeded to address
it. The Journal thus reports his speech
"He thanked the President not only
for his veto, but for the sentiments of his
veto message, and for the fearless tone Of
his 22d February speech. And he hailed
with delight the Presidents declaration
that the rebel States are entitled to imme-
date representation. In the course Of his
remarks he asked, Why are not the men
that hold Office under the Presidents ia
yer present to participate in the action
of this meeting p"
Having addressed the meeting, Mr..
Vallandigham introduced some resolu-
tons, indorsing the Presidents veto mes
sage, and complimenting him for "the
courageous attitude he has assumed against
radical fanaticism in and out of
Congress" Mr.. V~allandigham moved
their adoption, and having voted in favor
of them, Mr.. Vallandigbam declared
them carried. Mr.. Vallandigham then
moved thst a copy of the resolutions be
sent to the President. The motion was
carried. and Mr.. Vallsndigham adjourned
and went home to bed, with a virtnous
consciousness of having discharged his
duty as e patriot and statesman.

"wHAT DANIEL WEBSTER DID SAY
The speech ofJehn sherman.

Washington Correspondence n. Y. Tribune.
The singular spesch delivered on yester-
day by Senator Sherman 1 can best char
a~cterize by recording the impression it
produced among the radical colleagues.
Notwithstanding the protestations of thor
ough sympathy and hearty cooperation
with the majority of he Senateit abound
ed with, they nearly all looked upon it as
a further step on his part in the direction
of the administration camp. Not q few
expressed the conviction that he would
east his last vote against the President
upon the question now before the Senate.
His speech was of the plausible, insinua-
ting, oily sort, and hence fell upon his
immediate audience like water upon a
ducks back. But l fearit will produce a
dangerous effect abroad. The secret of its
authors recent efforts to keep up his party
associations in Congress on the one hand,
and not offend the President too much on
the other, is said to be his anxiety to re-
tain control of Federal patronage in order
to be able to discharge certain obligations
incurred during his last Senatorial canvass.

Improbable as it may seem, it is never

gentleman, when the daughter of the lat

pavt, and Mr.. Cory resumed his accus-
toned calm by shaking his long forcing
er at the old gentleman and telling him,
"Gld man, your gray hairs protect you
After a good deal of skirmishing, enc
General Wade was chosen chairman and
undertook the task of ruling the unruly
meeting.
DR.. Anderson got the floor again, and made
a Christian appeal to those present; de-
plored the disgraceful character of the
scenes enacted there by the members of
any Christian Church, and begged that
their repetition be avoided.
Next arose a difficulty about the rights
of voters, who should vote, &c. The
chair was surrounded in a moment the
confusion, which had been allayed by the
calmness and dignity of DR.. Anderson,
arose again with ten-fold ferceness. Mr..
Cory was seen to extend the whole length
of his bony arm, and with clutching finger
tips 'reach' again for one of the gray
ndireu laLueFs Vi Iut cnuTcn, MI Joseph
K. Smith. The policeman, who all this
time had been a quiet witness of the scene,
reached for Mr.. Cory, but that gentle
man made it appear to the satisfaction of
his friends that he was the party agrieved,
and not the aggressor.
There was much catching hold of gen.
tlemen by ladies and many cries of"Now,

The thing was at its worst; the confu-
sion became indeseribable ladies and gen.
tlemen were most inextricably mixed up I;
chairs were overturned the 'lie direct
was given by two gentlemen at the stand;
a lady slappedanother lady's face-gently;
the other 'forgave" her; the pressure
from the street became almost insufferable
for the excitement in the church soon
spread to our most fashionable thorough
fare by the rumor that there was a fight
in the vestry; glasses of water were called
for by excited ladies, and the scandal was
complete. Above and through the whole
turmoil there were but two quiet and IN
moved heings-the Rev. Dr.. Anderson,
and a little babe that slept in its mothers
arms while she sat an excited witness of
the unusual event.
Finally the meeting reached the point
of voting, when the regular" ticket was
elected. In announcing the result the
Chairman said: THANK God, there are
votes enough to defeat the Copperhead'
ticket ever provided they all had 8 right
to vote, which they had not" This was
echoed by, THANK God, thank God, from
