States Is true, yet cannot accept the position. My
lecturing engagements extend far into June. When
those are finished then comes the Gubernatorial
contest in New Jersey and the Presidential contest
for national supremacy. l be OF more service to
the Republican party, and consequently to the
country, here in New Jersey and other States, than
filling, never so well, the responsible position to
which you would name me. Very respectfully,

The "sun" on the Migration OF Capital.
New York, May 10th-The Sun says
What narrow escape the prosperity of New
York has had in the prompt vetoing of the
bill taxing foreign capital is shown by the
news from San Francisco. When Kearney
and his followers were doing all they could to
have the new Constitution adopted, they rep
resented that they were defending the sons of
toll against the bloated capitalists, but the
capitalists packed up bag and baggage and
brought all their belongings to the East.
The consequence of refusing to protect capi-
tai was, of course, to make it seek safer
places for investment, and Kearney's politi-
cal economy was not without its drawbacks.
The Bank of Nevada has just dismissed seven
of its principal employees because there is no
work for them. How long will it take to
batter into the skulls of legislators that
money is as likely to emigrate as labor? San
Francisco has almost ceased to be the market
for mining stocks. When lucky prospector
strikes something fine, he rushes off to the
East, and the uptown hotels of New York
are at the present moment 50 crowded with
mining men that III one of these establish
ments a notice has been posted, No mines
received in payment for board"
The kearney Meeting at New YOrk-A
Disclaimer Against the Gag Law
Spirit.
NEW YORK, May 10th.-The Ecening Post
disclaims against the gag law spirit shown at
the meeting of Kearney's sympathizers Fri
day night, and says: We want no sand. lot
despotism here. We have enough despotism
here ealready-despotism, for example, of the
kind that leads to such crimes as that of
Madison Square, and then screens the GRIM
inas. 1t is idle to babble about free speech.
A gentleman who has lived twenty-five years
in California rose on Friday night in Cooper
Institute to be heard. 1t was believed that
his speech would be adverse to the purpose
and temper of the meeting, and amid roars,
execrations, and cries of "Turn him out, +"
"Away with him, "theintruder was practically
gagged. This was in the true spirit of Kear-
neyism. 1t shows clearly as volumes could
show how much right Kearneyism has to live.
The Great Pennsylvania Oil Firc-Further
Particulars.
New YORK, May 10th.-G. III. Lincoln,
President of the Petroleum Exchange, has
the following telegram from Bradford, Pa:
BRADFORD, May 1Oth.-Neary all the Bradford
and Rexford and both pipe line stations burned.
Three United and two Tidewater iron tanks are
now burning, and more are in danger.
LATER One pump station and two 25, 900 and
one 5000 tank (all United) are burning. Two
Tide-watcr tanks are most sure to burn. Nothing
else is in danger. Forty wells and eighty buildings
are estimated burned.
DD.npOpn Nav 10fb Opa on nnn l.--.I
iron tank of Mcleod 4 Morrison and the
%, ,000-barrel iron tank of the United Pipe
Lines at Rexford are still burning furiously
At IL this morning one tank boiled over and
set second $4,000 barrel iron tank of the
United Lines in flames. There are two other
tanks of similar dimensions belonging to the
Tide-water Pipe Line Company short dis
tance further down the valley, which cannot
escape destruction. The heat is so intense
that workmen are prevented from digging
| trenches or building dams. No other prop
erty in the immediate vicinity of the burning
tanks is in danger, and unless high winds pre-
vail the flames can be confined to the oil
tanks. The loss on oil is borne by a general
average assessment on the patrons of the pipe
lines. No further property was destroyed in
Rexford beside the eighty buildings reported.
BRADFORD, May 10th.-The loss in Rex
ford is estimated at $50, 600, with light in
surance. Several dangerous fires are now
raging in the woods near Barnum City and
Coleville. Oil property is thickly located
through the forests in these sections, both of
which are twelve miles from Bradford. AS
yet little property has been destroyed at
either place. -Four hundred men are fighting
the flames near Coleville, and large number
near Barnum. Brisk breezes are blowing,
aud the woods in every direction are as dry as

forest fires.
The Anti.Chinesc Feeling in New York.
New YORK, May 10th.-The Eceniag Post
says The United Christian Brethren have
recently purchased all the houses from "a to
% Mott street, inclusive and one building
around the corner in Pell street, from which
the Chinese have been evicted. The new
owners have executed new leases, in which
condition is inserted forbidding the sub-let-
ting of any part of a building to Cinnamon or
negroes. 1t is not probable that the anti
Chinese feeling will spread among other
property owners in this neighborhood.
