Southern demscrats who traded with
Hayes will not let him be turned out if
they can help it," He says, "Hayes has
certainly kept his part of the bargain and
stood like man up to his side ofthe con-
tract. Hampton and his associates are
too honorable to break theirs, and see
him slaughtered for sticking to them.
They are no more bound to unseat hun
now than they were when they bargain
ed to permit his Inauguration. They
knew then just as well as they know
now, that he had not been elected and
was not the rightful President He
thinks the congressman implicated in
the trade will be IN an awkward fix if the
case comes up in Congress as they cast
their votes IN the teeth of the facts, and
yet can't go back on HAYES.
STATEMENT OF THE NEGRO VANCE MA.
JoR JAMES BELL.
WASHINGTON, April 70, 1873
Among the persons named as having
been concerned in the manipulation OF
thet Florida election are Vance, a col
ored man, formerly teacher in Florida
now messenger in the Pest office De.
partment in the Sixth Auditors Office.
Vance was ore of the inspectors at the
famous precinct Archer No. 2, and is
charged by Dennis with having been
one Of those who added 2l9 votes to the
poll lists there. He was found to-day
by Herald reporter in the Post Office
Duilding, where ho was in the quiet dis
charge of his not very arduous duties.
STATEMENT OF VANCE.
Upon being asked for his statement in
regard to the offence attributed to him,
he said
81 have gone out of politics entirely,
and have nothing now to do with the
business any more. 1T has keen an in
Jury to me, and have had good deal
OF hghting, having been placed in posi-
tlons where had to strike back, and
tins Is just such case. do not want to
say anything about 1t one way or anoth-
er Just now; in fact, do not think / will
notice 1t, because, being out of politics. I
DO not care to have anything more to d o
with them one wav or another"
On further reflection, however, Mr..
Vance added:
&C cannot yet say what this confession
OF Dennis will prove to be. OF course /
cannot take as being exact and technical
what is stated in the papers, but | think
my proper Ian is to wait until the actu-
al paper arrives, which covers the So
called confession of Mr.. Dennis, when l
will see what it contains. | don't know
what it is yet. / will wait till see it
Mr. Dennis is very good man he al
ways keeps his word and acts up to prin-
ciple in his dealings. / do not seem to
be much bettered by all the rough exper-
ience / have had, but l want to get along
quietly now and am determined to do so.
II prepare statement / will fully de-
fend myself and meet any charges
brought against me, but l will wait for
the present and say nothing just now

Seed Potatoes.

Small potatoes will sometimes yield
pretty well. 1t is not against them
sometimes that we argue but against
making a business of nursing this kind
OF seed. They may be used in an emcr-
gency but emergencies which call for
theiI use should be avoided as much as
possible. Some farmes Use small seed
potatoes every year and they have a
great deal OF trouble with their varieties
"running OUT" while some of their
neighbors only use large, smooth, and
nice potatoes for seed and their varie-
ties remain good year after year. 1t
seems that in this there is ordinary re-
lation of cause and effect. The persis-
tent use Of small seed will cause any
varieties Of potatoes to run out i'll a few
years - at least, this has been my les
son from experience and observation.
The best part of crop is none too
good to be used for seed.

How did the Preachers meeting act
when the columns of a daily paper were
open to fair play? from pulpit and from
pen they threw shot and shell as long as
they could until the public began to see
then weakness; they then brought the
matter before the meeting of preachers
ana they canvassed the thing as well as
they could, and agreed to cause all our

MILLIONS IN 1T.
What the Petroleum Trade
Amounts TO in u aTwcIvemOnth.

In noticing statement of the st.
Louis Reriew that "the petroleum pro
duct of Pennsylvania foOts mp on the
average fully $500,000 per day the yea,
round," and that ''this exceeds the gold
and silver product of the Pacific slope,'
the Pittsburg American Manufacturer
says:
Yes, this would exceed the value
of gold and silver product of the Pacific
slope considerably. 1t would be $1S2,-
100000 year, which is about double
the value of precious metals extracted
from the mines of the far West. But
does our petroleum product foot up
100000 per diem, or SlS2,5000 per
aunum? We think not. The produc-
ton of the oil wells Of Pennsylvania
last year was 13,000,000 barrels; this,
at 50 45 per barrel, the average price
for the year, would be $31, $4,000
These figures, of course, relate TO
crude oil only. How much additional
value is given to that portion of the
crude product which is refined and
otherwise manipula ted, we have not
the data TO enable us to ascertain, But
we are justified in saying the petroleum
product of Pennsylvania does not APP
proach $1S2, 100000 per annum. The
amount OF petroleum products exported
last year was equal to 10,425,502 bar
rels of crude oil, and the value of the
same was nearly So, 100000, or about
Sc barrel. Calculating the product of
Pennsylvania-13,e00,00 barrels-at
this price, So per barrel-the value OF
the same would be $4,000, 600, which
is probably very very nearly the true

Draining the Zuyder Zee.

For long time the Dutch Government
has been preparing, with the aid of the
highest scientific talent and experience,
for great feat in engineering, which is
practicable only with aid from the me-
chanical power given by the steam engine.
The work proposed to be done is the
draining of the Zuyder Zee. 1t is no i'm
possible object that is in view. Already
between 1919 and 1858, the HARLEM Lake
formed by an extensive inundation in
the sixteenth century, was drained by
steam power, and nearly GO, 900 acres of
iahd We're thus won back. The Zuyder
Iee, which is 45 miles long by So miles
in width, was formerly a lake, and was
united to the German Ocean by an inun-
datlon in 1882. In very short time the
Dutch will begin their great labor of
winning back IL large territory which
ocean has held in her thrall during the
last centuries. Success is confidently ex-
pected as far as this is concerned, but a
I question which is now being discussed in
Europe is, "What is to become of the
water which will be drained off this large
tract of submerged country ?"
NO doubt the water covering these
seven or eight hundred miles is sufficient
to make an appreciable difference in the
depth of the sea into which it is pumped
and 1t is argued that, consequently, the
ground which will be recovered, with
''iioioO iduoi anu NitSb COSb, IN f1Ollanu
must be lost somewhere else, and philoso-
phers speculate as what coasts are most
Ii Kelly to be affected. 1t is limited on the
other hand, that ther. is here a little of
what logicians call "begging the uues-
tlons;" that in short, it Is by no means
! certain that the ground recovered
in one place must be lost somewhere
| else.
1t is claimed that the low-lying shores
OF Holland, north and south of the Zuy-
der Zee, are protected by world d-famous
| dykes of sufficient height to keep the ex-
ira amount of water from pouring in. 1t
Is declared that, since these dykes exist,
the damage, if there be any, will much
affect the northern coast of Scotland, and
that Suffolk and Essex may also consid-
erably suffer. A large portion of the
coasts of the counties of Sutherlond and
Ross lies very low, and the sea has
Already shown tendency to encroach
upon IT.. Near the town of Tair, twenty
four miles northeast of the beautiful city
OF Inverness, there is one place where
the sea-water is now nearly four miles
across, yet tradition says that in former
days it was possible to pass letters over
the water at low tide, by tying them to
long pole and reaching across. The in
ha6tants of Tair say that the sea is
wider at this place since the Dutch engi-
neers, draining the sea of Harlan,
emphed its waters into the German
Ocean. All this is highly speculative, no
doubt, but it engages the attention of
European ScientiStS.-PreSS.

WILMINGTON, April, 26tb, 1873,

The time is drawing near when the
democrats of this city will choose a can
didate for Mayor. AS a we'll wisher of
our party, l advise united action. There
is al present, l believe, three candidates
spoken Of. 1t behooves us to nominate a
man, whom we can elect and one who
will administer the laws, without fear,
favor, reward, or hope of reward. And
one whom the people can confde in and
respect. L believe Edmund b. Frazer
Esq, to be that gentleman. A few
months ago one hundred and sixty nine
prominent gentlemen-among whom
were many influential business men of
this City and county-testifed to his f.
ness and ability, tojudge between man
and man. Mr.. Frazer has given a good
account of himself since that time, and
am satisfied no one who recommended
him at that time has cause to regret lt,but
on the contary will heartily give him
this support aud influence. He has made
many friends by showing to our citizens
and the Moral Suasion Reform Associa-
ton Of which he is a consistent member,
that he as maxi of clear ideas and a
sound reasoner. Let the people unite
and elect him.

Gently passed in the House regarding
oleomargerine will shortly come before
the Senate. 1t does not in any manner
prohibit the sale of the article, but 1t
provides that it shall be sold as oleomar-
gerine, and not as butter. In other
words. every package must be branded
as such, under penalty OF Sl09 fine. The
Philadelphia Produce Exchange will
pass resolutions to-day praying for the
passage Of the bill, and the Pittsburg
Produce Exchange will take similar ac.
tion, The selling OF this "bogus butter"
as the genMne article is source of con-
slant annoyance to the general public,
and the above provision is a wise one.

5. 1t is a polity which has little, if
anything, to do with the Bible. No at
tempt is made to deduce it therefrom,
to conform it Herewith, or to subject
it thereto. Moreover, it is made ques-
ton whether much of the Bible, to
speak of, will be recognized by it. In
unfolding his programme of his new
sect, Mr.. Murray uses the following
language with regard to the Old Testa-
ment:
look upon the Psalms of David and
the musical expressions of the Old Tes-
lament, as giving, with the exception
of the decalOgue, about all the evidence
that the Old Testament contains of its
divine origin. Its history of creation
answers no practical purpose of to-day.
The record of it's savage wars is i'm
bruting in its influence. The knowl-
edge of the social life it imparts makes
us shudder. The history of its ecclesi-
asticism begins with the questionable
event of father attempting to murder
bis child, and was prevented only by
divine interpositiOn from committing
the awful crime of offering a human
sacrifice. The Jewish ecclesiasticism,
l say, begins with a barely escaped
murder, and ends two thousand years
later with consummated murder on
Calvary.
How much of the New Testament
may remain after the alembic of such
criticism shall have done its work, we
cannot say. But as our Lords endorse
ment does not avail to save the Law,
the Prophets, and more than a portion
of the Psalms from the onslaught, it can
hardly he eXDected that the reyised
