Arrangements are now nearly if moi
quite perfected by which . company Of
Pennsylvania capitalists propose to sink
a shaft fifteen hundred feet prospecting
for what they may find. We understand
that from indications - gathered by one
of their number the prospect is fair 70,
coal oil. The parties have made liberal
offer to the citizens and one which will
be accepted. There are few who would
not give . email sum just to have the
matter determined as to whether there il
anything beneath Us or not The depth
is little moro than double that of the

will at least produce the same or better re-
suits. And - the enterprise is free the wa.

town can then use the water without hav,

anyway, why the people Of lola should

heneabouts are better satisfied with us than
they otherwise would be, simply because
we have aimed at giving them distinct
lively non-personal Republican newspaper
Perhaps we have at times failed TO hit the
mark, but that has been our endeavor But,
regarding the Convention our Western CO.
temporary pointedly says:
While Chicago and Cincinnati are each Civ
ing the most satisfactory reasons why the
next National Republican convention should
not be held in the other, THE NATIONAL RE
PUBLICAN, which is the only Republican paper
published in Washington, and the only one
ever published there not dependent on the
breath of the Administration for its existence,
has put in claim for that city. We are not
sure but Washington is the proper place for
the convention. 1t undoubtedly has great
facilities for accommodating the crowd the
occasion would draw together in its innumer-
able hotels and boarding-houses. There is an
other argument in its favor. The convention
would have no fear of that outside influence
which did such queer work at Cincinnati the
last time IL met there. Neither GRANT, nor
BLAINE, nor SHERMAN would have noisy mob
clamoring for his nomination and drowning
out or overwhelming its voice.

THE SECRET BALLOT.

We could never understand why an honest
man should wish to conceal his verdctat the bal
lot, box. and it has always seemed to us that the
secret ballot must have been invented to facli-
tate fraud-sOmething that IL frequently does,
especially In the Northern cities, Lyachbug
FTgiAidn.
Our cotemporary seems to have lost sight
of the fact, in discussing this question, that
every man, be he honest or not in n free
country is fully assured of the privilege
under the statute TO vote u secret ballot
or to make an exhibit Of his vote, Just
as he himself shall determine. The right
of suffrage is sacred to each individual
citizen, to be exercised in accordance
with the terms of the law relating thereto,
If the statute prescribes the form of the
other man but the possessor Of that right is
privileged to question the honesty of the
motive that prompts its exercise as the
law prescribes, if he prefers to conform
10 its terms. If the statute provided
that every citizen should cast his vote
rira uoce. then he would have no alternative
but 20 conform thereto but in Virginia, as
in New York and, we think, in every
State in the Union, the secret ballot is the
recognized method of expressing the popu-
lar will, and it is not proper for any man to
arraign the motives or honesty of his neigh
Dor, if he is guided by the spirit and letter
of the statute, in the discharge Of his duties
as citizen. The assumption that the
secret ballot is in the interest of fraud and
corruption is simply absurd, and the prying
curiosity which seeks to penetrate its mys-
teries before they are revealed by the hand
of legal authority seems to be highly inn
pertinent.
The assumption that the secret ballot
"must have been invented TO facilitate

THAT the pretentions Of Southern Con-
Bervatiyes, seli-styled, of hatred of the
straightout Bourborn Democracy are shams
is again and fully evidenced by the practi-
cal withdrawal of Mr.. L. l.. GILLESPIE from
the Republican ticket in Louisiana. Hav-
ing been nominated for Lieutenant Governor
thereon, and on n platform abreast and
not in advance with the declarations of men
of his class it was hoped that he would
make the contest against the Bourbon nom
inee, and thereby assert in an emphatic and
substantial way the sincerity of his pro-
fessed enmity to Democratic misrule. But
the fact is now proven, by his Withdrawal,
that the class of Conservatives whom he
represents despite their loud mouthed ex-
pressons of ill-will for the Bourbons are far
from being prepared for active cooperation
with the Republicans, though rendered the
more important nominations. In short, it
shows the influence of social and political
ostracism in its most effective and reprehen-
Bible light But the Louisiana Republicans
are not in the least discouraged. They will
make the fight to win, GILLESPIE or no GIL
LEsPIE, and will win if a fair count can be
had next month,

THE Southern movement for GRANT,
closely analyzed, amounts to opposition TO
TILDEN among the Democratic leaders of
that section, supplemented by a minority
desire among the masses for a strong and
honest government. Until this minority
has courage enough to assert itself indie
pendent of the ani-TILDEN leaders, the
South will continue to be, as it is now, the
Solid Bourbon South.

Now that the race for next year is prac-
tically won and General GRANT is conceded
to be the coming man, the Janus faced in

friends; that the country needs him, and all

Conservatives may prefer General GRANT

their preferences amounts to n close and sub

THE Democrats of Maine seem to be hesi-
tating whether they will commit larceny
by stealing State bodily, or become honest
men and let the voice of the people control
that State. They seem to be little too

honest hence what they may do is yet a
matter of grave doubt.

WHEN the last rebel has gone to his
final rest, and the spirit of rebellion has
died out both South and North, then the
hope of the New York Tribune that the lies
uttered against the loyalty Of General
ROBERT ANDERSON will cease and he heard
of no more forever, may be realized Both
his bravery and his loyalty were too
strongly stamped upon his defense at Fort
Sumter against fearful odds to be ever
successfully questioned by senseless gossips
and the obtrusive diaries and memoran-
dums of eminent or obscure Intermediates
with his fame.

THE late Senator CHANDLER's emphatic
assertion in 1876 that "HAYEs has 1856
votes and is elected" proved to be pro-
phetic and satisfactory, 1t is now revealed
that so long ago as the 23d of September
last, fortnight before his death, he wrote
n letter, in which he uttered similar pre-
diction regarding the contest of 1880. 1t
was in effect that the Northern States will
then score victory, solid and unified, in
favor of Republicanism and honest govern
ment.

OF a trap contrived in Parrish's desk with

pistols. The boy had several OF his singers

putate bis hand causing shock to his ner-
vous system from which ne VIII prooaoiy

ON the desk to open the window.shutters
and the pressure caused the explosion. i9e
nowder and matches were so arranged in
the drawer that any unusual iolting OF the
desk would cause an explosion, and 1t is
supposed that Parrish had taken this plan
OF precaution against robbery. A warrant
has been issued for his arrest. . 49,.
