approaching autumn, heavy and perhaps a
temporarily unequal drain upon the current
supply. Prices which have recently
advanced, may go still higher, But the
instant an undue strain upon the ,narlxet is
felt, plenty OF capitalists and others who have
been driven from the oil regions DURING tbe
past year by decline in the value of oil fiat
made the sinking and working of wells
losinS business, will be ready IN resnroe
their connection with this great interest
Although the over-worked wells in Weeter,r
Pennsylvania and Virginia cannot be expeoted
to yield as enormously as before there arc
still many pumping WELLS that can be made
to yield very considerable average. Other
regions are being and to be explored. We
are confidently assured by a correspondent
that there are at this time near Petrolia. G.
W., as large producing oil wells as were ever
known in Pennsylvania; that about twenty-Gve
wells are in operation, yielding from one hun
dred to five hundred barrels daily; that there
has not been single failures that nearly fifty
more wells are going down. The California
oil discoveries are not forgotten. Half the en-
couragement to production that is suggested
by the figures we have reproduced would be
apt to stimulate capitalists to make the de-
cisive tests of those discoveries which have
been heretofore neglected. The simple differ
excitement will be, that whereas great
many men in the United States will yet en-
gage in the oil business, and the market
everywhere will be stocked as usual, the mar
ket is not likely to be so overstocked as be-
fore, for the reason that both first purchasers
and their victims have learned to eight shy"

Tennessee has just held State election,
whereat blacks were authorized to vote, while
those who participated in or promoted the late
shareholders Rebellion were not; and, ofcourse,
the radicals carried everything by enormous
majorities. Kentucky followed on Monday, but
with the conditions reversed-her Rebels being
entranchised, but not her blacks-and, of
course, the field was swept by the transparent
cheat which misnames itself Democracy Ac-
coldlng to dispatches received up to the hour
OF going to press, the majority will range from
4o,VUO TO 6O,OOO. The election in either State,
II not exactly farce, was what is called ga set
thing" every one knew beforehand lust how
1t would result, and the voting and oountinc
were rather heavy formaities ..
Governor Brownlow-if we rightly appre
hend his Knoxville speech of Saturday NIGHT
will forthwith propose and urge the enfran-
chisement of every Tennesseean now disfran-
chised for Rebellion. We have not been
accustomed to think highly of the Governors
craftsmanship. We have held him deficient
in temper and discretion, His forthcoming
message, if its drift be truly foreshadowed by
his last Knoxville speech, will prove that our
past estimate has done him injustice. Should
he frankly take and hold the ground above
indicated, he will prove himself not only
| wise man but great one. We trust there is
no mistake as to his purpose.
Would that the nlisnamed conservatives of
Kentucky would evince equal sagacity En-
lranohising the blacks of their State could
hardly endanger their asoendancy--nay, were
they but wise enough to establish impartial
Suffrage, 1T would probably confirm that
ascendaney If they wait till black enfran-
chisement be somehow carried over their
heads, they win, Of course, find all the blacks
arrayed against them, and with good reason;
but let them initiate the wisdom Of BrOwnlow,.
and the result can hardly fail 10 be difFarant,,

Party AmIlatlon at enc south.

From The Times.
The Pennsylvanians who waited the other
day on President Johnson to urge the forma-
tion of a new party, have their sympathizers
in the Southern States. There the idea of a
middle party obtains favor in quarters which,
while opposed TO the authors of the reoonstruo-
tion law, refuse to renew fellowship with the
Democracy. The New Orleans Crescent is one
of the journals which have arrived at the
conviction that the old party organizations are
inapplicable to existing exigencies, and there
fore recommend union OF all conservatives,
so-called against the extremists of both the
Republican and Democratic parties
The service Immediately rendered by the dis
oussion which has arisen is the emphasis
with which it marks the repudiation of the
Democracy as a party organization. The
Crescent and its friends evidently appreciate
the grounds ON which Governor Orr protested
against the bad faith Of that party during the
war, and the warnings uttered by General
Longstreet against reliance on Its future
action. II is seen and felt that the men who
have heretofore held Office under the Demo-
cratic name now desire to be reinstated, pre-
ciselv as an old member of the Stuart or
Bourbon r6qime would watch for the restora-
ton of the dynasty as prelude TO the revival
of the ribbons and pensions OF their adherents'
For all the practical purposes OF government,
fine restoration of the Democratic party
vrould be as futile as the resurrection
of the Ghibelines. That party is not
entitled TO be considered democratic
which resists the large additions TO
popular power advocated by the Hepubi-
cans; nor'can it reconcile its pretended zeal for
State rights with its desertion OF the Southern

State of the Political Chess-BOard-Yhe
Presidency

. - FrestuenCys
From the World
The Tennessee election convinces the Re-
publicans that they will carry the elections in
all the reconstructed States. They will there
fore drive on their work at high-pressure
speed, and have the States all back in season
to take part in the Presidential election.
They feel assured that the negro vote will not
be divided, and that it will marshal itself, in
every State, in compact array as a wing of
such negro preponderanoe that the Republi-
cans are probably not too sanguine in ex pect-
ing to control the new Governments.
The Importance of this probability does not
so much lie in the expected accession to the
Republican vote, as in its bearing ON the selec-
tion of the Presidential candidate. The iubi.
liant exultation of the radical organs rests
upon the expectation that they will now easily
head off General Grant, whom the conserva-
tive Republicans wish to nominate. The negro
portion of the party will be out-and-out radi-
Gals. All the Southern delegates in the Re-
publican National Convention will be of that
stamp. The Southern delegations and the
New England delegations will form powerful
and compact nucleus, which will easily gather
strength enough from other States to make
majority of the Convention. According to
present appearances, therefore, General Grant
has no chance for the Presidency, except as
the candidate of the Democrats and conserva.
tive Republicans. With the Southern States
excluded or doubtful, the radicals might have
been persuaded to assent to the nomination of
Grant But they feel so braced and strength
ened by the Tennessee election that they will
now accept no candidate but pronounced
radical who has always been identified with
their party.
In view of this vigorous revival of radical
hopes, we trust President Johnson will forego
his purpose of removing General Sheridan.
His removal would tend to make him the radi-
cal candidate, and the personal relations of
Grant and Sheridan are such that Grant might
be reluctant to run against him. If the radi-
Gals are not precipitated by false move of
the President, into nominating Sheridan, they
will probably take a civilian, most likely Chief
Justice Chase. All the military prestige, and,
by consequence, most of the soldiers votes,
will in that case be on the side of the conserva-
tives running General Grant. The success of
the radicals in Tennessee, and the expectations
they found on it, are favorable to the conserva-
tive cause, as leading to the nomination of
Chase, or some man like him, by the radicals.
Considering the posture into WHICH things have
passed, it is better that the radicals should,
for the present, have their way in the South,
without further Intellectual attempts at OBJ
stTuction.

Petroleum.
From the World.

prominent "authority on oil' furnishes
the public, through the Pittsburg (Pa.) Com
nercial, with some interesting but intricate
statistics, designed to show that the price of
petroleum, which declined in June to nine
teen cents per gallon, is destined to increase
steadily hereafter in consequence of growing
home and foreign demand, and decreasing
production. The statistics presented in sup
port of this assertion may be reduced to the
following tablet. r'r.... ..E

These are remarkable figures. At this rate
all the petroleum in the country and in Eu-
rope would be quite used up at the end OF
April next; and as the statement is made that
the demand for this oil abroad is to be par
ually owing TO the stOppage of the shalt OH
retneries in England and the failure of this
years rapeseed crop in France; and as the
whales are getting to be terribly shy in all
seas, and as gas is expensive and tallow can
dies yulgar--one is called upon to presume
that half worldful of people will be obliged
10 go to bed at dusk after the first OF June,
1868, for very lack of light to read their
evening newspapers by. Star-gazing and
blind,man's buff would surely be the only
practicable aftersupper recreahons for be-
nlgnte0 COttauarc and 1at,iganc of inferior
towns. -.H..... .N
There is no danger however, of such non.
sense becoming truth. The production OF
petroleum in this country at the present time
is OF course very much below the production
two years ago. The demand in this country
since the opening of trade with the South,
and III Europe since the article has come TO be
generally introduced and known, is doubtless
constantly accelerated, and will be, during the

large portion of their adversaries: but this is
a slippery hold-a precarious reliance. II is
their true policy-not to urge considerations
which far transcend all policy-to be wise
while il is called to-day.
Mr.. Sumner has now n hill before the
Senate proposing the enfranchisement of the
blacks throughout the States where they are
still subjects only, not practically citizens.
The object is emphatically good we trust that
the means will be found fit, and the power
invoked relevant and adequate. But why
should not the mover so widen the scope of his
proposition as to provide for a general enfran-
chisement of our countrymen North and South
who are now subject to a rule wherein ''the
consent of the governed" is, so far as they are
concerned, ignoredl Why should not Mr.
Sumner-so long and so honorably identified
with the championship of black emancipation,
and whose plea for universal suffrage is the
broadest and most sweeping ever yet made in
Congress or Parliament-honor himself yet
more by pleading the right of all Americans
to a voice in the Government which they are
all required to support and obeyl
That men who are Rebels have no right TO
control the Government they were seeking by
force to overthrow, is self-evident truth. 1t
is by no means so clear that it is even wise to
perpetuate the disfranchisement of large classes
because they lCere Rebels years ago. The
Tories of our Revolution became, not long
after its triumphant close, fellow members of
the body polite with those who had discom-
fted them in deadly war; so of Shays' insur-
rectionists in Massachusetts, and the whisky
rebels in Pennsylvania. May we not reason
ably hope that the whole American people,
with at most few and definite exceptions, will
be enabled to take part in the choice of our
next President and Congress Is not the en-
franchisement of all our countrymen who need
it the dictate of national safety as well as
national peaceP
