A REMErscexcE The appointment
Of Edwin ~. Stanton to the Supreme
Court. brings to mind lively little fight
we had in the State Senate. in 1866.
Resolutions warmly endorsing Stsnton
were offered. We think BY Eskridge or
Emmert. whieh caused . lively debate.
The opposition was headed by the elo-
quent Legate and the immaculate Potter.
backed by the little fqusd Of Democrats
and EwiDR's men who happened to be
members Of the Senate. Stanton was
most bitterly denounced by them. and
berated as the suihor Of everything mean
and tyrsnnicsl during and since the war.
Bot the resolutions were triumphantly
adopted; and We are co6deut that none
Of those who voted to endorse him are
disposed to regret it. or to feel badly over
the fact that Grant hes ratified their en-
dorsement.

California.

The California election takes place
to day. The people of that State are to
choose county officers, members Of the
Legislature aud two judges of the Su-
preme Court. Two years ago the Demo
cratic candidate for Supreme Judge,
ROYAL L. SPRAGUE, was elected by a
majority of 2269. GRANT, however, in
tervened last year, and carried the State
by 5l4. The natural inference is that
the State is close, and that the busiest
party will carry it to-day.
The present California Legislature is
Democratic. The Republicans have the
Senate by six majority, but the Demo
Gratis in the House outnumber the Re,
publicans by about twenty, leaving a
Democratic majority on joint ballot OF
fourteen.
Ip the absence of fierce political eX-
citement it would seem that the Dem.
ocrats have the best chance to carry
the State. 1t should not be forgotten,
however, that on their local tickets the
Democrats are greatly divided. Some
bad nominations for the local places
have been made by both parties. The
result is number of independent "cit.
liens" tickets, selected for their fitness,
rather than their politics. In San Fran.
cisco a ticket of this kind IS running
with every prospect of success. These
divisions must have their effect on the
general election. Hence it is clear that
if the Democrats win it will be by a
very short margin, and that their sue
cess, if they do succeed, will be preot
of a Democratic strength in California
fully as great as has been believed by
any TO exist in that State.

Our Oil RsgicH.

The oil interests of West Virginia are
not appreciated b. West Virginia peo-
pie. Many of oHr people embarked on
the wild tide of oil speculation three
or four years ago, and the great ajority
of them failed to realize the immense
fortunes they thought were in the i'm
mediate prospective. General depres-
sion was the result. We think that if
the case were closely considered it
would be found that most West Nir-
ginians were disappointed because they
did not get rich at once, rather than
because they could not make the busi-
ness remunerative by enterprise and
close attention.

esting figures with regard to West

a Negro Lynched in Tennessee.


Passengers who arrived on the train
of the Nashville and Northwestern Rail
road yesterday, inform us that on Tues
day evening last negro boy was seen
suspended from a tree on a line of the
railroad near Dresden, Tennessee. Under
the place where he was hanging sat his
mother weeping. Attached to the pan
falcons of the swinging boy was a card,
on which was written in a legible hand
words cautioning the passer-by from
cutting him down, and intimatinE in
strong terms that the man who inter
feres will suffer the same fate. Our
informants state that it was understood
in the neighborhood that the victim
had committed rape on the daughter
of widow lady, living near that place,
and that he was hanged for this crime.
As to the time OF the hanging, and the
parties engaged in it, nobody IN that
neighborhocd seemed to know anything
about it.

A Leasy Scow Pumped by Ghost
which Drngs the Captain from His
Bunk.
The Toledo Commercial, of Friday,
tells the following ghost story:
"Our readers will remember that on
the 1st of July last, Patrick Shaughnes-
sey, Captain of the Red Rover, was
killed at Ten-mile Creek, about ten
miles below this city. After that sad
event, a man by the name of Connolly
was placed in charge of the scow, and
has sailed her since that time until
within few days past, when he and
the entire crew deserted the vessel under
very peculiar circumstances.
"While on a recent voyage the Red
Rover sprung leak-one which
threatened to take her to the bottom of
the lake in very short time. All hands
went to the pumps, and, by working
with all the speed at their command,
soon made headway on the water, and
found that it was in their power to save
the craft. By exerting themselves to
the almost for time, when their
strength was exhausted they could rest
for ten minutes without endangering
the safety of their scow. This system
of long work and little rest lasted unit
the craft reached point in the lake off
Monroe, when the men, having become
greatly fatigued and their strength be-
ing almost exhausted, went to their
hunks to rest.
n" Scarcely had the bodies of the weary
warmers touched the couch ere all were
IL raped in deep slumber. Ten min
tes passed and no one was at the pumps
Twenty minutes-thirty minutes-an
hour-passed and still the pumps were
idle and the men asleep! Two hours
passed with that leaky vessel rocking
upon the waves and the crew slumber-
ing, unconscious of the dangers sur
rounding them! At the end of the third
hour, some unseen hand entangled its
fingers in the uncom bed hair of the Cap
tain and he was dragged from his bunk.
On looking at his watch and discover
ing that he had slept three long hours,
he wondered that all were not at
the bottom of the lake. Hastily
he aroused his crew and then
looked to see what progress the
water had made. To his utter amaze
ment there was no water in the boat
On inquiry, he was unable to find any
one who had pulled him from his bunk.
For some time the mystery could not be
solved; but finally the Captain and |
crew agreed that the ghost of the la
mented Captain Shaughnessey had |
worked the pumps while the crew slept, |
and had pulled Captain Connolly from
his bunk when they had slept enough.
So thoroughly were the men convinced
of the correctness Of this conclusion
that on their arrival in this port few
DAYS since every man deserted the scow
and could not be induced to ship upon
her again"

There are several other wells prOduc
ing, but correct figures could not be had
of their yield. This shows very fine
production in territory that within
the last four months was comparatively
dead. All is alive once more. Old
leases are eagerly looked after; inter
ests in wells can now be sold at some
thing like value; men with money are
once more among US to purchase
the oil as produced; the Parshall
House is once more noisy with "oll
talk" flowing wells," &c. Lively
times are confidently expected this Fall,
as there are nearly one hundred wells
being drilled deeper. If there are
any of your readers thinking
of visiting this country, they
will soon find it easy of access.
