The Herald, of McConnelsyille, Sen ator Abbott's home, asserts his inno cences of the offenuo for which ho was indicted by the Franklin County grand jury and says that nothing but a trial and conviction, followed by Abbott's confession, would convince It of his guilt. Tun petition which has been circu lated requesting Mr. JIcQill to intro duce a bill reducing tho salaries of county officials has been run down and is discovered to havo emantcd from a nurelv Democratic source at Pattins Mills, in Palmer township. Letters and copies of tho petition were sent to all the township clerhs in the county. Mr. McGill wilt, of course, glvo his best attention to the matter nit. City Affairs. At the November election there wore cast in this city 21S9 votes. On Mon day last thero were 1140 votes cast at the special elcc'.ion. Against new power house for the electric UghUplant there were found to "be 516 "votes, but 090 voters of the city did not go to the polls, and -their will in the matter was not shown. It re quired 707 votes to mike the two thirds majority. The question is, how would these 000 stay-at-home voters have voted. We'll dollors to dough nuts that they would have voted "yes'' and carried tho proposition. They 'were probably the very fellows who had figured it out that the city could furnish them with incandescent lights cheaper than a private company could do it, but were too modest to go and demand that the city do it. On the other hand it may be that these 030 stay-at-homes might have swamped the street pavJnir proposition. After all it was apretty exhibition of the popular will and of the consoryn tisru of Marietta's citizens. Its the only proper way to bond the city and should only be resorted to when necessity of an an urgent kind requires such a necessity as two thirds of 'Voters would readily ack nowledge. We are, however, getting into the notion that there is lots of merit in the new law some of the' states arcenacting pooridiag.a penalty for voters who will not vote. S. J. U. ''South .lmrrknn lccs. The denunciation of the South Amer icans on the part of the English press a a mongrel and degenerate race is, to say the least, extremely unbecoming. In no part of the Western world is the white iac3 yielding so completely to admixture with the negro race an in Jamaica and other of the Ilpitish West India islands; while tho relative sprink ling dt white population in British Guiana becomes less and less, until it may now bo said without fear of con tradiction that there is absolutely no visible future for any considerable white population in the Guianas. Dutch 'fiui.ma recognizes that fact, while French Guiana has hunk too low vjn for its old uses as a. penal colony. British fiuiana has long admitted these facts in its policy, but the Uritisii Gov ernment will not allow tho truth to be told in words. The situation is wholly different in Venezuela. That republic lias a totr.1 population of two jaillionB and a half. The negro clement is a very wnall one, and the i.une tiling ie true of the Indian tribes. The great bulk of tho population is of --rood Snan- isli origin. nnt ;tlthm,"li ilmr.

Jt is well-known in the United States that a limited admixture of American Indian blood does not vitiate the European stock. In mat ters of education, of art, music and literature, of railways and telcgruphs, and of general material and soda) progress, Venezuela's present condi tion is incomparably superior to that of liritish Guiana.

IN THE OIL FIELDS. Athens. Ohio, February 4. A solid stream of oil shot out aud abovo tho derrick when the drill entered tho sand in tho Strauss llMja well near hero yct terday. The well flowed for several minutes but on account of the absence of gas tho well will have to bo pumped, and it is thought by experienced oil men that it will bo good for over forty barrels a day. a SlsTi:nsviLLK, V. Va., February 4. Tho"war on Indian creek over tho Jack man lease has subsided, and the matter will be litigated In tho courts. Both companies hayb employed eminent counsel and iaro going to put up tho best fight possible. The Jessio iiWhlto No. 3 reached the pay sand last? night and Is reported as making 250 barrels a day. This well is at leivst two and a half wiles from the Kylo well.' F. H. and. M. V. Fcshers, of 'Wick, yesterday sold one-half of" their royalty in 200 acres "of land at that place for tho snug sura of 55,200 cash. Clint Moore, L. M. Gorham and the Henry Oil Company were tho purchasers. G. 13. Johnson yesterday sold tho Cain and Tuel leases over tho river to A. C. Bradley, of Butler, Pa., who will raovo hero and take charge of tho wells at onee. The consideration is private. Tho Oxford Oil Company's well on tho A. A. Haught farm, out on Middle Island, was drilled to the top of the break yesterday evening and to-day was reported to be a gasser second in size only to the Big Moses. The tools were blown out of tho hole and on ac count of tho heavy pressure it is nn- nossiblc to drill the well. The fact that tliis well came in such a heavy gatser is taken by its owners as an in dication that there is a pool of oil in the immediate vicinity and other wells will be drilled at once. Tho Kyle well on Friday last was stirred up with the bit, and today is flowing oil at tho rate of 0 barrels an hour, so the Register's special corres pondent at Centerville wired at noon today. The Jap o. 5 on Riley was shot Wednesday, with a view to inci easing the production. The woll being drilled by the John Davidson Oil Co., of Charleston, on the A. II. McTaggart land near the Heed Held is being, cased and will be drilled in to3ay. The well on the Grosskloss farm this side of Stanleyville, about three miles from Marietta, came in Tuesday night, reaching the sand at SiO feet, and is a good producer- The well is owned by J. II.
