admission of an unwelcome truth. As to the
ordinance of secession, it is in some cases de-
clared "null and void" and in others SIM
ply repealed" and in no instance is refu-
tation of this deadly heresy considered wor-
thy of a place in the new constitutions
IT, as the President assumes, these msur-
rectionary States were at the close of the war
wholly without State governments, it would
seem that before being admitted to partici-
pate in the direction of public affairs such
governments should be regularly organized.
Long usage has established, and numerous
statutes have pointed out, the mode in which
this should be done. A convention to frame
a form of government should be assembled
under competent authority. Ordinarily this
authority emanates from Congress, but under
the peculiar circumstances your committee is
not disposed to criticize the Presidents nc
tion in assuming the power exercised by him
in this regard. The convention, when as
sembled, should frame constitution of gov
ernment, which should be submitted to the
people for adoption. If adopted, a Legisia-
ture should be convened to pass the laws
necessary to carry it into effect. When a
State thus organized claims representation in
Congress, the election of representatives
should be provided for by law in accordance
with the laws of Congress regulating repse-
sentation, and the proof that the action taken
has been in conformity to law should be sub
mitted to Congress.
In no case have these essential preliminary
steps been taken. The Conventions assem-
bled seem to have assumed that the Consti-
tuition which had been repudiated and over
thrown was still in existence and operative
to constitute the States members of the
Union, and to have contented themselves
with such amendments as they were informed
were requisite in order to insure their return
to an immediate participation in the govern
ment OF the United States. Not whiting to

ings; and once, among other not able in
stances, at dinner given in honor of no
torious rebel, who had violated his oath and
abandoned his flag. The same individual
is elected to an important Office in the lead
ing city of his State, although an unpardon-
ed rebel, and so offensive that the President
refuses to allow him to enter upon his official
duties In another State, the leading gener-
al of the rebel armies is openly nominated
for Governor by the Speaker of the House of
Delegates, and the nomination is hailed by
the people with shouts of satisfaction. and
openly endorsed by the press.
Looking still further at the evidence taken
by your committee, it is found to be clearly
shown by witnesses of the highest character
and haVlng the best means of observation.
that the FreedElen's Bureau, instituted for
the relief and protection of freedmen and re-
1ugees Is almost universally opposed by the
mass OF the population, and exists in an eff
ficlent condition only under military protec-
tlon, while the Union men of the South are
earnest In its defence, declaring with one
voice that without its protection the colored
people would not be permitted to labor at
fair prices, and could hardly live in safety.
They also testify that without the protection
of United States troops Union men, whether
OF Northern or Southern origin, would be

The feeling in many portions of the coun-
try, toward emaucipated slaves, especially
among the educated and ignorant. is one Of
vlndlctive and malicious hatred. This deep
seated prejudice against color is assiduousiy
cultivated by the public Journals, and leads
to acts of cruelty, oppression, and murder,
winch the local authorities are at no pains to
prevent or punish. There is no general dis
position to place the colored race, constitut-
ing atleast tveAfths Of the population, upon

Relief from Taxation.

Some OF the Western newspapers have been
rather obstreperously complaining of the tax
on advertisements, and calling for its abroga-
ton. We are not anxious for continuance
of that tax, but we have not felt that the ex-
empticn of any single interest could fairly be
urged at the expense of others. The expert
ence Of the last year, however, has demon
strated that a considerable diminution OF
taxes is entirely compatible with the sure and
reasonably speedy payment of the public debt.
We have paid national tax of S300,0O0,0OO
during the year, and it cannot be denied that
ON many branches of industry, the taxes now
levied are excessive. This was to be expect
ed. A system Of internal revenue, organized
on so extensive scale, could not fail to bear
hardly on some interests. There is need,
therefore, of a general and special revision OF
the internal revenue laws-of a general dimi-
mutton of the burden, and of special relief for
special industries. If newspapers derive some
benefit from the general reduction of taxes,
we shall be well satisfied .., ...t.
There seems to be a satisfactory harmony
of opinion with regard to the general policy to
be pursued in this respect. "a further dim
mutton of internal taxes and modification
of the tariff" says Secretary McCulloch, "will
be required, in order that production may be
increased Commissioner Wells declared in
his preliminary report, that he was unhesi-
tatingly prepared to recommend "such re-
vision of the present internal revenue system
as will look to an entire exemption Of the
manufacturing industry of the United States
from all direct taxation-distilled and fer
mented liquors, tobacco, and possibly few
other articles excepted" In the same spirit,
we observe, the House of Representatives
has adopted resolution instructing the COM
mittee of ways and means "to inquire into
the expediency of abolishing the five per cent.
internal revenue tax on manufactures and the
products of mechanical skill"
We trust the policy indicated by this reso-
luton will DE adopted. Here at least, pro-
tectionists and free traders can agree. 1t is
plain that our manufacturing interests are
suffering; the proposed mode of relief is obvi-
Gus and unobectonable. Let us compete
with England by making our own goods
cheaper and nobody will complain. If the
example of England is worth anything, it
should be considered, too, that she has no such
impost as this, her uniform policy being to

The oil wells of Canada are now capable OF
producing about 100000 barrels of petroleum
annually and new wells are still going down.
The only demand as yet is for home consump-
ton. The sales at Petrolia and Boutwell,
during the year ending Sept. 1, 1866, amount
ed to 1900 barrels The entire demand tor
Canadian consumption cannot exceed 10000
barrels, or so per cent. Of the entire product
of the wells now in operation. None of them
are working to their full capacity, under these
discouraging circumstances, and the prospect
is that many will be obliged to suspend alto
gether. ..-- ,sr.i....
1t cannot be that a valuable product, for
which there is sure and steady market in
Europe, will long be kept out of that market.
The Boutwell, oil yields IS, the Petrolia oil
G6 2-3 and the Pennsylvania oil only 60 per
cent. of refined oil. 1t is furthermore claim
ed that the Canadian Illuminating oil will last
one fifth longer than the Pennsylvania article.
These advantages must ultimately tell in its
favor In addition to its uses for illumination
and fabrication, the opinion prevails in some
quarters that it viii become available as an
article of food. This, we are told, is the opin-
ion of Prof. Bracket of Bowdoin College, and
ii the theory is correct that the oil is deri yed
from an enormous deposit of shell fish, it is
not perhaps so improbable as would at first
appear that petroleum may contain nutri-
ment. The demand Ior established uses how
ever is active enough to ensure a movement
sooner or later. The oil is wanted and will
not be allowed to remain in Canada .5
One cargo of crude oil was sent abroad
few years ago. 1t was the first attempt to es-
tablish a foreign trade, and has not been fol-
lowed up. Prices have dwindled to 50 80 or
50 at Boutwell, and 81 rs to 81 Is at Petrolia in
gold. A steady demand at SD barrel in
Boutwell, and 81 or 50 25 in Petrola would set
all the pumps at work. Such "a demand is
sure to make itself felt, sooner Or later. The
st. Lawrence will not afford an outlet for this
new trade. 1t must pass through New York
or Portland, and Portland merchants ought
to be on the lookout for it. The crude oil
would probably be hrou hit in iron tanks to
this city. 1t would then be transferred to
casks for shipment This business wonld nat
uTally fall to us here, and ought by all
means, when the time comes, to be secured
ior Portland. ..,..--.... , .r

A quacl had instituted a suit for medical
services AGAINST one of his neighbors, and the
suit being brought for the use Of another, be-
came himself the witness. A Mr.. Williams,
who was employed to defend the suit, and to
expose the quacky and worthlessness of the
services rendered, subjected the doctor to the
following cross-examination:
"Did you treat the patient according to the
most approved rules Of SURGERY" asked the
counsel. ~ p hAf.G. G-f IA 'E'Ata.
'By all means, certainly did," replied the

condition required it, and it was attended with
very great success" 49, +" A'S.y -

quackery deserves to be immortal"
