MONTHLY OIL REYDRC.

Below we publish our usual oil report for
tie month of March. There has been c5n-
siderable falling of over February, the
McCray farm fxhibitiog the largest decrease.
as will he scen by the following synopsis Of
tho daily production tor tbe past three
months: In Jannary tho pi ,duction of this
farm was 97S barrels per day; in February,
56j barrels, aud in March 3l3 barrels, the
ialliDg off in the mouth OF March was
252 burrels per day. 1t is but proper TO
state however, that the production of the
farm during the last of the month under r.
view was greater than during the tirst.--
This result was not attained by the striking
of new wells, but by a natural increase OF
of the old ones A portion Of the other
farms show slight falling of since the
February report, wbilo most of the tai us
hold their own since last reported.
The following shows the decrease on the

A CALIFORNIA paper says it is deeply
indebted to Congressman for copy of
his great speech against the franking
privilege, which, as he justly observes,
entails an expense of millions of dollars
annually upon the people to crafty the
vanity or advance the personal interests
of garrulous members of Congress "ln
a private note, adds the journalist, "the
honorable Senator informs us that he has
franked 10000 copies of the document
to his constituents, and he cannot enter
tain doubt that in will he the means of
his triumphant recollection"

DURING debate in the Senate on the
Ku.Klux outrages Senator Frank Blair,
of Missouri, said that Congress was the
original Ku Klux'' This being true,
the desperate efforts made by Blair to get
into Congress are all natural-they arose
from the well known proclivity of DEM
ocrats to fraternize with Ku klux organ
izations.

PARIS is quiet, and the Government
and the friends of order are apparently
in fair way of putting down the mob.
One significant fact stated is, that the
movement of the German army out of
France has been stopped. Another
equally significant dispatch alludes to
the activity of Bonapartist and Orleanist
agents in Paris.

household in England is much greater,
certainly directly, than the cost of repuo-
lican president, however large the family
and however widely extended the collateral
relations of the president may be. But the
Baroret was quite right in cautioning his
hearers against a republic without republi-
can virtues A king or queen or president
who can keep the civil service ofthe kingdom
or republic free from corruption would be
cheap at five millions a year, while Tweed
or a Murphy in authority is dear at any
price. But when a gentleman of great
wealth, good social position, fine abilities
and large attainments, like Sir Charles
Dixie, thus fearlessly exposes the cOstliness
and corruption attending royalty, and talks
about republic as a remedy to one of the
largest parliamentary constituencies in Eng
land, 1t IL safe to predict that the divinity
that doth hedge about king is in some dan
ger Of permanently losing respect even IN
England

was uncomfortably cold The principal attrae-
ton Of the day was the trial of the chime Of
eleven bells, recently bought for the new spire
# the Metropolitan VI Z. Church There
have been fairs and festivals, subscription
papers and solicitations without end. for the
benefit Of the zpire and the chimes, till after
' such and so great % exertion the people had
come to EXPECT something perfectly wonder
al 81 Music that might charm Calypso and
ler uymrh5 = was to vIbrate from those bells,
melodies which would set the very horses
and donkeys to dancing around the sacrei
elIfce. In spite Of the chilling wind, there
fore, a large crowd assembled at - O'Clock
/ Thursday, before the church, and listened
or tIo chimes They listened, but distin-
/ 5gish the tunes they could not, until Yankee
\ Doodle peeled out on the air. The newsboys
/ Immediately commenced an accompaniment,
and every one said there was no doubt about
5aat tune. Some say that Hail Columbia

nothing like it Which were right we con
