It is assorced that the incoming adruinis (ration Intends to set aside the doctrine that "(o the victors belong the spoil V look ing only to the honi-sty and capacity of the officials, not Interfering with them on ac count of political opinions. That was tbe Style In Jem-pon's days, but sinco the time of Andrew Jackson (be other principle has prevailed and been strictly acted up lo by ail political parties To set it aside will be a herculean task, which . we are Inclined to think the new administration will be hardly equal to. Should General Grant succeed in flanking the pica I army of office-seekers,. It would be one of bis greatest achieve ments. Office m kins has been for years Hie hoH ol American politics, and done luuen to corrupt tbe ballot-box. But the ivil has grown to such enormous propor tions, ffcat t will take a tremendous power to break it up. Nearly every ne who takes a le .ding part in politics in any little c iuiiniiiiily, dK'a so with a view to some substantial reward in the future, In the shape of nn office. And after all it S'Hini" no more thrln right that those who uo the bard work, who are in the van of the battlo, who spend their time and money for the cause, should be in some way re warded. GoKTUg tells tbo following story, which ainuainly illustrates the capacity fur drink i f the Uhinalanders: "The Bishop of .V.iyenco once delivered a sermon against drunkenness, and, after painting in the s! longest colors the evils of1 over-induigooce, concluded as follows: 'But the abuse of wine does not exclude its use, lor It Ih written that wine rejoices the heart ' of man. Probably there is no one iu my congregation who cannot drink four bottles ol wiue without feeling any disturbance of bis senses; hut If any nan at the seventh or eighth bottle so far forgets himself as to abuse and strike his wife and children and treat bis best friends as enemies, let bim look into his conscience, and in future al ways stop at the sixlh bottle. Yet if after drinking eight, or even ten or twelve bottles be can still take his Christlun neighbor lov ingly by the band, and obey the orders of bis spiritual and temporal superiors, let bim thankfully drink his modest draught. He roust be careful however, as tn taking any mote, for it is seldom that Providence gives any one the special grace to drink sixteen IhiHIi at a sitting, as it has enabled me, its unworthy servant, to do, without either liejrlectin.r. my duties or losing my temper.

Oil Citt, Jan. 6. Yesterday morning Mrs. Joseph Etillwell, residing oa Centre street, died from the effects ot an overdose of laudanam which be had taken. The Arm of Reynolds, Brodhead & Co., In Excelsior Block, Centre street, are doing a very heavy business. They are well known In town for their reasonable prices, and have always a large and varied assort, ment of goods in their line. J. J. Brod head of this Urn is our worthy Burgess, and we have heard bis name spoken of as the most available and popular man tbe Re publicans could run for Assembly next fall. We have been asked If tbe office of clerk to the board of Commissioners was specially created for thebeoelit ef tbe present incum bent. If not, some of our citizens having business with tbe County Commissioners office, are of opinion that it is about time there was a change. Juak, LETTER FIIOM T! I I SVIX1.E. TiTisvii.i.H, Dec. .11. A visit to Pleasantville yesterday and a protracted ramble among the large, small, and Bon-preduciog wells, forced us to the conclusion that tbe Oil-dorado has seen its best and palmiest days. In short, it has now to rely on its own merits as tbe bubble will bear no further intlation. In Tilusvllle things look lively. We never saw a town of its size exhibiting more en terprise, and it is this that insures success and prosperity in any community. Tbe Fair lor the benefit of the Sisters or Charity, is in progress af Corinthian Hall, which is elegantly decorated for the occa sion. The warm appreciation iu which the Sisters are held is manifest from the fact that during the last threo nights the Fair has netted 91.057. The Rev. N. Mignanlt, the pastor of tbe Catholic Church is one of tbe most justly popular gentleman here. Arriving at tbe height of the oil excitement when crime was rampant ho found a base men t, only, of a church and (1,500 debt on it. He has built a fins brick cburcb, beau tifully frescoed and quite finished Inside, a commodious residence and a Convent for tbe Sisters of Charily, having paid $51,000 on the property. The sisters huvo eleven orphans In the bouse, several of whom would otherwise be a charge on the City Tieaiury. , Tbey also have a school with boarders and day schol ars from both Protestant and Catholic families. Their bouse is a picture of neat ness, and tbe bappy faces of tbe little or phans tell the tale that a mothers place is Oiled 8 far as utfection and tender care can do it. Father Mignanlt has a fine chime of bells, two of which are mounted and will bo quite an acquisition to the town. J lax. Chicago celebrated New Year's by the informal opening of tbe Washington street Tunnel, underneath the Chicago river. At eleven o'clock that morning, Mayor Rice the members of the Common Council, M. C. L sbrougU, the engineer; the Board of Pub lic Works, and tbe Kite Conimissioneis pro ceeded through tbe roadway in carriages, followed by two of the steam-fire engines that several times pumped out the water when tbe tunnel was Hooded. Tbe gas in the passenger way is fixed, but tbat in tbo carriage way was only temporarily put np on Sunday night. The contractors will re sume charge until tbey entirely finish tbe tunnel. The work was commenced on July 25th, I8C8 lis cast will bo nearly $3,500,000 it is estimated. Olb neighbors, of llm Titusvillo Ilprald, In uoticiog an artk-lu which e pu'olished tho other day upon properly tuppoi ting a local paper, vory truthliilly remark: "Every huslness man should feel directly interested in sustaining his local new.paper, for its continued publication is tho lest evidence tbat Can lie ofl'eied of the public spirit and enterprise of the community, and its suspension invariuhly ittaicates a do creusing prosperity." Every word ol the above is strictly true. Tub firm of Ujnolj, liroduead it Co., of Oil City, is doing a very heavy business. Their establishment is extensivt, and their aittortinent of goods large. They also lave a gteat variety of goods. ., You can purchase of them anything in the Dry Goods, Han' ware and Crockery line. Any ol our up creek friends going to Oil City to trade wlll'ilo well lo give them a call. Tuk new nstauraut of Eddy & Sands, on Washington street, next door to IshumV, is now open. Tbey huvo I neatly furnished dining room, and are ready to enlertaiu their guests iiliist rate stylo. Give them a call.

Tub Herald correspondent has had au in terview with Senator Morgan, and reports bim on tbe sullVage question thus: "Do you favor this proposed legislation In regard to maubood suffrage?'' "Well, I don't see its practicability. Universal suf frage has been voted down in a good many of Iho Northern States, and I suppose it would bo out of orler for the IcgWiaturt s of these States to accept tho proposed endmendment agtlnst the will of the people. A three-lourths uuj irity cannot consequent ly be secured. We must therefore await a change of heart, or keep dinging away till we make ouieelves masters of tho situation. Tho New York Legislature could vote in tbe affirm itive on the amendment, as it is under no Implied pledge given in tbe expressed vote of tbe people on the question. The Legislature of a State like Ohio has heard the verdict of its citizens on negro sulirage, and it might feel bound to act in accorilut-r-tberewilb when this amendment is submit ted to it." A dispatch trum llurrithuig dated Jan. o. -says: Forty five Repnblioan raemlers of the House held a caucus yesterday, and nomi nated John Clark, of I'hiladulphia.for Spea ker. His election is certain. The omens appointed a committee, consisting of Mists. Wilson and Humphrey ot Allegheny, luff man ot Dauphin, Burritt of Susquehanna, and Hong of Philadelphia, to report minor officers to tbe regular caucus to-morrow eve ning. Those minor officers are not to include clerkships or other oflioes. The Senate Republican caucus meets to morrow afternoon. All the old officers will bo re-elected generally. No developments about the United States Senatotship. Everything is in doubt, and nothing certain. There are but few Demo. ciats hero yet. ExtitAiit.K A merchant was accustom ed to demaud on excuse whenever his clerks arrived late. The excuse given, he Invnrir. bly ' added : "Very well; but don't let it happen again.'' One morning a married clerk, being behind time, was promptly In terrogated as to the cause. Slightly embar rassed, beioplied: -The truth is, Sir, I bad an addition to my family this morning, and it was not convenient lo be here sooner." '-Very well," said tho merchant, )n Lin quick, nervosa manner, "very well; but don't let it happen agniii!"
