A STATEMENT FROM ONE or THEM THAT
THEY WILL NOT VOTE UNLESS GIVEN
OFFICE.
Messrs. Editors AS the city election is
approaching there has been some very
sharp talk amongst our people, AZ to
whether theywill use their right Of suffrage
or not. We know "the servant should re-
eeiye something for his labor" but ever
since we have had that suffrage the weak
kneed Republicans have been seeking US
day and night, only for our Nntea, Just
before election, aud they have been using
us rs do1r-mats and serfs, only TO pui thelr
friends ia Office. They have promised, Time
and again. to do what We know Is IN their
power 10 do, but fail. But this time know
of over 200 who have promised 10 never
touch notifies or vote until the Republicans
make good some of their former promises.
We do not intend to receive any more
banquet-insults.
If we had not men suitable TO MI ONCE
we would not complain; 1--WE could see;
| somewhere IN New CASTLE county, cOlored
men, or even a man, in some official posi-
| ton, we would have some backbone TO use
our thousand votes. But this is not the
case; and tell me not the kepuhiieah party
| has not the power. We are like othcl
! neonle if we do have great patience.
/ Now, us this is movement Thought ol
| some time since, and Just adhered 10 tnst,
| may be some Of us who viii nor agree lhl'
| time hut II will not be long before their eA'
teeth are cut. We are in earnest about THU
| matter. We have men in our ranks who
| fought and bled in the late war; OF the rev
| who returned, it WAS not their fault but by
| the Providence of God. They are educated
| they are real estate owners 70 some t>Stehe
they are good, reliable citizens. who, I
elected to office, surely would execute II
functions. with that surety which woul
reflect credit to themselves rs citizens an
their race as Americans.
| What Speaker Blaine SAID IN reply 7
! Charles simmer is true tThc culnred pee
plc as u class are not highly educated hu
are very sensitive" Every word OF tha
| remark is true. 1t has been said we en-
not help from voting. Nay, not So we waite
for freedom aud its heuehts; 30 Will "

EXCITEMENT OvRRTHE DISCOVERY OF OIL.
--COnsiderahle excitement has prevailed IN
this community for several days over the
supposed discovery of petroleum or coal oil.
Mr.. Welser living in the edge of this city,
dug and blasted well some eight or ten
feet deep. striking a vein Of water ths
emitted peculiar smell. On examination
It was found that the water wis heavily
impregnated with coal oil. The news soon
spread and half the town visited the well.
Suspicious being whispered that the oil had
heen poured into the we'll, the water, by
this time three feet in depth, was all taken
out and the walls cleaned. still the oil
was present seemingly in abundance, and
the prevailing opinion to-day is that gen
ulne oil well has been discovered. This Ii
a contamination devoutlv to he wished for
but before we make a big bior 0per IL We
prefer to await further Developments. We
have no doubt of the presence 1f coal Of
