There is a growing feeling in the
House in favor of the immediate adj
journment of Congress.
in the New Jersey Assembly on
Wednesday, the report of the commit
tee in favor of amending the State con-
sritutions so as to allow colored persons
to vote, was rejected.
Missouri and Minnesota, through
their Legislatures, have affirmed the
principle of impartial suffrage. In
Ohio, Illinois and Michigan the Legis-
latures have refused to obliterate caste
distinctions.
"A resolution of the Ohio Legisla-
ture to place in the capital grounds at
Columbus, two marble statues. one of
the late President William Henry Har-
rison, and the other of the late Major
statues are to be OF life size, and to cost
S25, 600.
"A Connecticut journal says the de-
mocracy are working like beavers in
that State, and promise to give a good
account of themselves on election day.
IL Will probably be such account as we
got from the New Hampshire democ-
racy.
The New York World says: Even
the abolition of slavery is by no means
the drawback it might at first sight
seem;" and gives other consolation TO
its Southern brethren, which the viii
mington Journal feels better for read
ing.
The New Orleans Bee estimates the
present population of New Orleans at
275, 900 souls. In accounting for this
LARGO inpFaaga the Roe SAWS that he ~ a >
has driven vast numbers of both white
and colored persons into the city.
"A number of members OF the Mary
land Legislature are in Washington
| pressing upon Congress the justice and
necessity of lending some $4,000, 900 to
the Southern people to aid them in their
present necessities. 1t is urged by
many that if the amount asked is fur
nished, the States will never pay the
loan, and that the scheme is gotten up
by dilapidated merchants and bank
ruptS to aid their own necessities. 9th
ers assert that the people must have aid,
or they viii be unable TO obtain IA cot
ton crop, and that unless some assis-
lance is given them before another win
ter, the suffering throughout the South
Will be most intense, and also that il
the loan is given in, it can be met as
soon as returns are made from the cot
ton of the present season.
"A Democratic paper in Pennsylva-
MIA. hungering for some show of life in
. its party, declared last week that ga
Democratic victory IN Nep Hampshire
you'd be hailed nth great joy." The
Yankees of New Hampshire have voted
but there is no place for the copperhead

NEW APPOINTMENTS BY THE PORE
The Pope has recently issued an allo-
cution declaring it his purpose to ap-
point bishops to fill the many vacancies
existing throughout Europe. He ex-
presses his profound sorrow that the in
dliierence OF the authorities has reduced
the eecsesiaStical treasures to so low an
sop that officers OF the church will be
deprived OF their ordinary means of
support De laments also that they
will md the stones of the sanctuary
scattered, the asylums of religious per
lection desecrated, the Inmates Of the
cloisterS reduced to utter iestitntion
and the holy virgins ex PEELED from tbair
religious ediices." Notwithstsrd;na,
all these and other discouraCinr- -; =
cumstances, his Holiness belieyas tLat
faithful servants of the church can Nc
complish much good and restore mnnv
wandering souls. He is not, bowevaS
particularly Sanguine, but will make
the necessary appointments, and trust
to the energy OF the pastors and the de-
votion of the people to sustain the dig
nifty of the Church of Rome. He ad-
mits that the future, judged from the
past and present, promises mach dis
treSs and misfortune.

RAILROAD AFFAIRs.-The general
ticket agents of the various railroads
of the United States held their annual
convention at Memphis, last week.
Various matters connected with rail-
roads were discussed, and, among other
things it was decided that free baggage
should be limited to one hundred
pounds, all in excess of this to be charg-
ed fifteen per cent. over first-class
through rates, the costs to be collected
as far as such baggage is checked. it
was also decided that claims on lost
baggage admitted and unlocated) be
charged pro rata to roads constituting
the line on. which the baggage was
checked through.

GENERAL LEE AS TEACHER.-The
Educational Association OF Virginia,
recently appointed a Committee to pre-
pare TN address on their behalf, "urging
II hearty cooperation with teachers, in
matters of instruction, discipline, &c. !"
The Committee, in their report drawn
by Gen. Lee, come to the following
sensible conclusions:
l. The parent, after committing his
child TO the teaching of another, should
continue to manifest an affectionate
interest in his improvement, by con-
slant inquiry and encouragement.
,. The supplying OF young persons,
while absent from their homes, with
needless money, and the permission to
contract debts, are to be reprobated, rs
tempting to- a sinful prodigality ard
multiplying the dangers of contracting
habits OF vice.
5. The proper authority of teachers
must be firmly sustained by parents.
i. Every young person should be in
formed by his parents that he must
give diligence to profit by his studies,
or else must be compelled to make him.
self useful to society by actual labor in
some humble sphere.
And last, an unworthy parent cannot
reasonably expect the teacher, against
the current OF his strong example, to
form his son into worthy man.

THE Parkersburg Tunes believes that
oil has touched its lowest price-the
very nadir OF It's depression-and that
those who are holding now at the pres
ent low figures need not be exercised
about the future. \ reaction is be-
heved certain during the season, so
soon as the business activities of the
country warm into life beneath a more
genial sunshine. The Pittsburgh Cpy,-
p,ereiat OF Saturday, is of the same
opinion we notice. Itsays that ''holders
are not disposed to make further con-
cessious." Contracts, however, for fu-
ture delivery, running through April
and May, have been lmade at and ~.
cents for crude. This does not look
very encouraging, although sales
We're made for cash as low as 81 n few
days ago. The production of oil is not
near what it was several months ago.
Many wells yielding aud 10 barrels
have been abandoned, and only those
that run large quantities, and at very
slight expense, have been kept in op-
Grafton. At some of the wells, sales
have been made at 81 and cents in
bulk This is certainly wonderfully
cheap for good crude oil. A brisk ex.
port demand would soon raise the fig.
ures from such depth of depression.
And that demand must come. we
should think, before great while. Al

um oil, either for purposes of nlumina.

cheapest oil in the British mar.

cal than their traditional dips. Several
weeks ago our Commissioner of Immi.
grafton, Mr.. Diss Debar, had an order
from Il railroad company in France 70,
fifty barrels of the best West Virgins
lubricating oil, and he thinks that thc
use of 1t, when once it is fairly intro.
duced, will become very general
throughout Europe. Petroleum. in the
very nature Of things, must become an
indispensable item of the domestic and
industrial consumption of the civilized
world. The use OF it is yet in its in
fancy. Perhaps it will become an ar
ticle of export in ten years time second
only in value to our cotton crop.
We must remember that its general
