WASHINGTON CRY,
SATURDAY EVENING, Jan. IL, 1919.
We learn that Major Gaines, of Kentucky, APP
pointed Governor of Oregon, In place of Gen.
Lane, is in danger in the Senate. The Major,
with his family, left your city, few days ago, for
Oregon, in the storeship Supply, via Cape Horn.-
The complaint is, that Gen. Lane, a merltonous
soldier, competent governor, and IN the terri
tory, was turned out, TO make room for party
man. that there was no necessity for the change or
the departure of Mai. Games before the action Of
the Senate on his case; and that it is case of
prescription, which must be condemned.
The Vermont resolutions, and the Austrian ques-
ton, and the unfinished Senate business, will be
brought up on Monday. We expect also that the
motion for information concerning California, the
executive doings there, the agency of Butler King
in organizing the State, and other particulars Of
importance, not yet disclosed In executive session,
will be renewed.
The case of Collector Lewis, of Philadelphia, is
among the first upon docket,
NINE O'CLOCK.
There has been a rumor of a serious cha
racter against a prominent derocrauc Office
seeker. This evening the report Is so gene
raj to justify publication 1t is charged that the
individual, who was late clerk in the Treasury
department, and more recently agent for soldiers
claims, has been discovered as defraudng the
Treasury in this business, that the Second Audi
tor il preparing to prosecute him, and that he has
fled from the city.
We have reason to fear the report is true The
person alluded to was one of the biographers of
General Cass in the late campaign, and to this
time has maintained high character. send you
his name IN private.
The democrats are trying to get up caucus to
nominate a candidate for Sergeant ALARMS.

for Sergeant alarms was resumed. There were
TWO bslotngs had without coming to an election;
the last ballot Mr.. Giddpgs received IOl votes
lacking bst one of being elected.
In the Legislature, large number of petitions,
bills, and memorials, on various subjects, were
presented, which will be found fully report-4 be-
low. The question of the reference of the new code
was among the mostimportant business of the day.

The Gas monopo,y-rno proposed Remedy


There never was time, we believe, when so
many foolish, ridiculous, expensive and absurd pro-
Jects were agltated IN connection with the internal
policy of the city of New York, as there are at
present-proects which, in almost every instance
have their origin either in the heads of vislonanes
and enthusiasts, or in the cupidity and avarice Of
impudent and brazen-faced spectators. Under
the speclous cry OF Improvement, and the growing
wants Of the metropolis, these unprincipled parties
care nothing about the injury which their wicked
projects would produce the prospects of the city,
If carried out, the expense which their construc-
ton would entail on our citizens but merely look
al their own profits in them, and cogtate and spec
Mate upon the sum total it would turn into their
own pockets. OF such projects, the enlargement of
the Battery is the most impudent and the most
reckless and strocious, in all its bearings and
features As to building bridge to connect New
York and Brooklyn, and constructing n railroad IN
Broadway, on the ground, over the ground, or
under the ground, they are merely the eman atoms
Of craekbraned enthusiasts, and, as such, may be
dismissed with smile, and then forgotten.
While all these ridiculous projects talked Of,
however, we do not hear word about improve
ments and reforms that are absolutely necessary,
and for the want OF which, our citizens suffer most
GENEROUSLY. we relercspeclaliy 10 tue ABUSES Whlcn
are practised on our citizens by the gas monopoes,
and which have augmented and increased from year
to year, until they have at last become inolerlble
We verify believe, if some steps be not taken
10 redress the grievances which the public suffer in
beng swindled by those monoPclies, that an indg-
nant people will take the matter into their own
hands, and, in the words OF one Of the speakers at
the gas meeting, few evenings since. "throw the
tea overheard" On every side We hear complaints
Of the extortions practised by those monopolies,
and the opinion is general and universal, that the
time has come when patience has ceased to be a
virtue, and when redress must be had rer fas aui
rsfas. Those complaints, too, are well grounded
and are becoming more frequent and more loud
every day. Under the pretence Of lessenlng the
Pnce ofgas, the New York monopoly has increased
il nearly fifty per cent within few months. To
prove the e1tortion OF this monopoly, and exhibit
specimen of the manner in which the public are
swindled by It, We publish the following bills paid
by Ne for the month of December in the past three
years-
