for all the great expense to which the employ
er is liable on account Of the coolies on his
estates. Mr.. Field says plainly that the man
ner in which the law is administered is sufi.
cient to "bring it into contempt" and he up.
%parently has good reason for this assertion.
It is expressly stated that the magistrates are
acting under Instructions issued by the late
Governor, but such instructions We're clearly
cxtra-oficial. If a magistrate is appointed
to administer the laws, he ought to be guided
solely by those laws, and not hamper,d by
any semi-oficia or private instructions as to
bis course of procedure. The law, combined
with the Independent position Of the ma.is-
tratc, is quite sufficient for the protection of
the immigrant, without instructions from the
Executive that tend to override it, and to mako
it valueless as n labour law. Besides, a con-
stitutionsl question might be raised upon this
point, which need not be now discussed. Upon
the whole, Mr.. Field makes out a good case Tor
the proposal Of the Combined Court to d.
vide the colony into immigration districts uu-
der proper and efficient sub-agents. Such 4
reform is urgently needed, for although the
existing state of things may he a source Of
amusement to the Immigration Department,

beyond, we are told, for ten miles of a circui-

nected with the well, one of which is shut COM
pletely off, and out Of the other flows q steady
stream of oil with immense force. There is
no perceptible intermission in the flow, and as
il gushes into one Of the 1900 barrel tanks,

ing atmosphere in Il dense mist. .
A reliable gauger Informed us that he had
gagged the we'll three times since The stream
was turned into the 1900 barrel tank, and he
found her doing ] $50 barrels and estimated the
leakage to be at least fifty barrels per day.
He further stated that in his opinion the we'll
started off out of the two 9 inch pipes at the
rate of $500 barrels per day. He also claim
ed that although this was almost Incredible.
he believed that if the full steam was turned
on now she would do at least 1000 barrels,
The we'll is only one bit in the sand, and it
is claimed to be the largest ever struck in the
lower region. A farmer walked up to us and
offered to sell his adjoining farm of 100 acres
for 100000, which ten days ago, for farming
purposes, would not have brought 81, 900.

THE CALVADOS ELECTION.
(Daily News. J

PARIS, 10 Aug.
"France is tickle" | heard M. Thiers
say in the tribune some eighteen months
ago; 81 am quite sure that France is Re-
publican now but | do not know what
she may be a year hence" The Calva-
dos election, resulting in the triumphant
return of the avowed Bonapartist can
didate, NJ. LIE Provost de Launay, is q
practical commentary Of immense impor-
lance on this dictum. 1t is true that Cal
vados was considered by the Republi-
can leaders as a "bad department." The
cider growers aud g%raziers there have a
positive philosophy, aud care little for
the rights of man or constitutional prin-
ciples. But it was thought some little
time ago that the occupation and almost
the sack of Rouen by the Prussians and
the recOllections of the enemy at HOnfeur
and many other points of Calvados would
have impressed even upon the peasant
mind The danger Of resuscitating the poll
cy and the dynasty which eliminated
ia Sedan. In 1872 NJ. Paris, q protested
Republican, was elected. His majority,
however, was not large. He was run
hard by a Legitimist candidate. The
Bonapartists at that time did not dare
to show themselves. A ballotdge, which
rs a second election in default of an abso-
Lutte majority at the first, was necessary.
NJ. Paris was returned. But he himself
was not by any means an ardent RepGb-
lican. He belonged to that troop OLIVIA
verers of whom M. Target, a member of
the same department., now enjoying the
emoluments of the Dutch embassy as a
reward for the part he took ip upsetting

THE MOST ASTONISHING OIL
WELL.
-
From tie Ti;tuSrille Herald.

GA the 23rd Of March, 1878, the famous
Troutlnan we'll was struck on the western eX-
tremity Of the Modoc belt. 1t commenced
Spou'ing at the rate 1000 barre per day, and
has since produced I00,0 600 barre's of oil. To-
day this we'll yielda to It's owners forty barrels
per day. Eighteen wells have been sunk on
the Troutuan farm, which in all have yielded
about 100000 barrels up to date. In fact the
Troutman farm has proved }to be one of the
most profit; in Butler county. Test wells have
been sunk east of it, north south and west Of
it, clearly defining what is known as the Mo
doc belt. This belt crosses the main north
east and southwest belt almost at right angles,
aud the circumscribed space where the two
belts cross or overlap each other IS called the
Fourth Sand Territory. 1t was known that
this Moioc belt extended east as far as Arm
strong run, but the test wells put down there
gu8hed Out for a few days at the rate Of 1000
or 200 barrels, and then suddenly dwiudled
down to diminugive propo, tions. This east
ern projection was therefore temporarily aban-
duned, ana few (f any operators imagined
that it would be worth drilling. The Butler
county oil basin was Just beginning to show
signs Of cxhau5tiou, and the area OF all the pro-
life territory 10 that vicinity was pretty we'll
dehnel ], when Il few spectators ventured to
run a line OF wells due east from Central Point,
near PetroIil. Ii was simply a wildcat ven
ture, and the owners Of the wells hid little eX-
pectation of making any large strike. The
Parker we'll was one Of these, and it is now
Il matter of little consequence whether it is
producing one thousand, fifteen hundred or
twenty five hundred barre's per day, the re
suit will be Just the same, as it proves beyond
a doubt that we have just entered upon the
eastern horn of the Modoc belt dilemma. 10
showing up truthfully the exact situltion the
case Will not be altered, as the entire trade
have already discounted the well and lis pro-
bablo consequences upon the future condition
of the market.
The road leading to the Parker we'll from
Petrolia is in moderately good condition, and
soon after leaving Central Point the traveller
observes the words mo smoking permitted
here' in conspicuous places. After about two
and a half miles ride the top of a hill is
reached, where a loud, roaring noise is dis
tinctly heard, and eighty rods further on brings
us lu sight of the we'll. A dense fog or mist
envelopes the derrick, engine house, and
tanks, while fully one thousand persons are
there gazing on the wonder of Armstrong coun-
ty. The derrick has conspicuously placed
upon it in large letters, "Boss Well" and
"CreswelI City" There are two $50 barrel

EDIroRs WIG AND TRIBUNE:
We hoped that Winter had taken his flight to
the frigid chimes, and that we should not again
feel even a touch of his icy breath until ''seed
time and harvest should have passed-for
M to this morning we have had several days
that were indeed lovely.
s'The very earth, the balmy air
Were all with fragrance rife!
And grace and beauty every where
We're bursting into hfe,-"
but to-day there is rather q chilling wind from
the North, showing that he is reluctant to
leave us.
The farmers in this vicinity are using great
industry in preparing for, and planting their
crops. We hope they will allow us TO say they
should carefully guard against the too frequent
errsr of ploWing their lands while wet, causing
them to clod, which adds much TO the incon-
venience of cultivation and greatly lessons ths
Weld. They are somewhat discouraged by
having to plant cotton so late, but 1t IS quite
probable that there viii be greater amount OF
cotton raised on the highlands this year than
last. 1t is { sun-plant, and grows 70 maturity
with surprising rapidIty during the months Of
July and August, and should not be planted
until the ground becomes warm. 1t is contend
ed by many that ii requires age, regardless OF
warmth and sunshine, but the facts are in IA
yor of the argument that age without the proper
warmth Injuries rather than benefits it. We
learn that there is still pretty good prospect
for fruit.
Milton S. Brown, of AdansNi lille, has been
among our people warning all to shun the *
toxicating bowl; entreating them with much
warmth and not little eloquence, TO take and
