The Suit of the Lee heirs at Alex

F A Correspondent of the Register
from Oakland Md. says; The oil ex-
element has broken out afresh in
this region, and strong hopes are now
entertained that boring for oil will
commence at an early day, at the
head waters ofthe Youghioghany riv-
er, between Aurora and Cranberry
Summit, West Va. Several parties
have been here in the last few days,
endeavoring to effect leases of land in
that ne. ghborhood, An agent of a
strong and reliable Pittsburg firm
made application to Judge P. Hamill,
agent for the Lunkel estate, lying
near the State line, for lease of their
lands. The application has been for
warded to the heirs, living in Fred
erick City, Nd, and an answer is ex-
pected in few days. Persons who
have examined the lands, and who
are familiar with coal oil enterprises,
entertain no doubt that oil in abund-
ance can be found. Some years ago,
an attempt was made in that section
but failed on account of want of CAPT
tai and experience, and as the oil fever
was then raging in the oil regions of
Pennsylvania, and West Virginia
capitalists had their attention direct
ed thitherward, and consequently this
portion ofthe country was abandoned.
We now hope to see this enterprise
rapidly crowned with success, and
anticipate lively times in this section.

Geo. II. Pendleton believes that the
Democratic party is stronger to-day
than ever before. He firmly believes
that the Democrats will elect the next
President, because he thinks the nom

as will receive the entire vote of the
Democracy and also of all the ele-
ments who are opposed to the Repub-
licans. Geo. Ii. has a clear head.

by the Democrats. A consultation
has been going on relative to it, and

After much deliberation over the
resumption dilemma, the cabinet OF
Mr.. Hayes has concluded to give The

er they will take gold or the silver

barrassment until the gold disap-
pears and then there will be no choice

An unusually large number of con
gressmen and Senators were in at
tendance at the opening of Congress
last Monday. The principle theme Of
conversation among them is resump-
ton. 1t is only 25 days until the time
by law for trying thatexperiment. The
Importance of the event, the bad eff
fects it will have if the Government
should fail to maintain resumption, and
the hoped for benefits if it is successful
all afford food for reflection and con-
versation. 1t may be said with abso.
lutte certainly that nothing viii be
done by Congress to interfere with the
plans of the Secretary. So we sup
pose resumption will be attempted
on the 1st day Of January. 80

individuals, it should be done by the
government; and there is nothing in
the theory in conflict with the JEFF
fersonian doctrine of State rights.
AS to our debit is of two kinds
that which bears interest and that
which does not. The former the people
are anxious to have liquidated In exact
accordance with the terms of the con-
tracts under which 1t was created, at
the earliest practicable moment be-
cause the interest they must annual
ly pay upon it constitutes very
grievous burden upon them. The lat
ter the people do not want paid off.
1t is not only no hardship to them to
carry it but even Jno. Sherman has
acknowledged that It is the best cureh-
cy the country has ever had--that, as
against National Bank currency, 1t is
infinitely the preferable, And we say
that so much Of the balance-that is
so much of the Understanding debt
as the people are satisfied shall be
promptly paid according to the CON
tract) and its place supplied with
Notwithstanding debt or Treasury
notes, should be so paid off and its
place so supplied. In brief, our doc
trine is.
First, gold and silver.
Second, government paper made re-
ceivable for all government debts, and
issued to the fullest possible extent at
which it can be maintained at
par, and be redeemable, when such
redemption is asked for, into gold and
silver.
Third, the outlawry of all other
forms of paper currency.
This is a popular doctrine, because
it is q common sense doctrine, and be-
cause it will bring relief to a people
who are in most urgent need of relief.
1t is entirely consistent with the Dem
ocratic past; and if we only have the
pluck, as a party, to enter the contest
of 1880 united upon it, by saying to
the few thousands of professed Dem
ocrats whose Identification in the Ma
tional Banks and participation in the
profits of that system, makes them our
enemies-if we have but the courage
to say to these, go you where you prop
erly belong" we shall elect the Presi-
dent and Congress in 1880 just as
certainly as 1880 shall come.
With such a platform, and with
such men as Allen G. Thurman, OF
Ohio, and Henrey G. Davis of West
Virginia as our candidates, Pennsyl-
vania will be with us, Ohio will be
with us, the great West and North
west will be with us. We may have
solid East to contend against, be-
cause New York and the East Tex
cepting, perhaps, Maine, Connecticut
and New Hampshire, are, for the
present at least, hopelessly subject to
bank rule. But we shall have with
us a solid South, almost solid
West and Northwest, solid
strength in Pennsylvania, and solid
Democratic doctrine that will insure
solidity to general business and
prosperity that will be proof against
the gold gambling, stock-watering
and Black-Fridaying which have,
since the war, been the most notable
of the products of Now York and the
solid East.-Ledder.
