Our DIFFICULTIES WITH THE GAS COMPANY
In common with others in this part of the CITY,
we have lately been seriously troubled in re-
gard to light and we published paragraph
to that effect two days since. To show that
we are not alone, we have only to say that the
gas ut Tammany Hail. on Monday night, was
altogether insufficient to give q proper degree
OF light, and that during the ceremonies Of the
Sachems the lights in the ball room were al
most entirely extinguished Several saloons
in the lower part of Broadway have been
obliged to burn candles, and complaints againt
the company are universal. We have had as an
answer to our paragraph, the assurance that
the company will make some arrangement to
remedy the difficulty. One communication
alleges that most of the gas mains in the lower
part of the city 'are much too small to afford
a supply of coal gas, they having been
laid many years since, to supply about
ne-eghth of the present demand, with oil
gas. The mains for oil gas do not require to be
more than one. half the size of those for coal
gas" 1t follows that OF this time Of the year,
when there is an extra demand, they will each
get small quantity of gas, and the light will
be limited to corresponding degree. Wepre-
sumo that the company will take measures to
remedy this difficulty.

BANK CREDITS AND BANK MovEMENrs.-We
perceive that preparations are making by
agents of the banks and spectators to apply
to the Legislature OF the State for the extention
of the system which has gradually been enlarg-
ing, widening and weakening the banking
affairs and emissions of this State.
During the past year sixty -eight banks have
been organized under the general law of the
Legislature. and these banks came into direct
competition with the other banks organized
under the same general law. Banking is very
much overdone, and many of the banks are
actually losing money, instead of making it.
They stimulate oil sorts of social luxury and
reckless expenditure, and they naturally suffer
from the failure among merchants, and the de-
talcation of officers and clerks. 1t is calculated
that the aggregate loss of the banks of this
State during the past year, will reach several
millions of dollars but the accurate facts are
concealed, and never made known to the public.
The present application is for q law to allow
all banks to use city and county stocks as the
basis Of their operations. This principle already
prevails in some Of the Western States. There
is but little hope that practical good sense,
business experience, or public virtue, can pre-
vent our Legislature, OF any other Legislature,
from allowing these gradual measures to widen
and extend the system to its farthest bound
the result which will be, one of these days, its
utter ruin and desolation. The crisis of 1887
is nearly forgotten.

THE GREAT NJ SouLE-Of all the foreign en-
voys we ever had, our present Minister to
Spain is certainly the most illustrious
and the most notable. Before he left this
country he made tremendous stir with some
speeches which would have laid any other man
open to charge Of lunacy. Arrived at Paris,
he throws that excitable city into tremendous
furry about his coat, and the dress Of M.
Soule. Add to this the sensation produced by
his style of conversation, in which he was fond
of asserting that he went to Spain with ever so
many millions in one hand, and war in the
other. and it will be seen that his stay in that
city must have been about as startling time
as that of the ancient Gargantua. He hiss no
sooner reached Madrid than he contrives to get
into couple of duels--one Of them with no less
a parsonage than the Duke d'Alba-and again
produces worldwide sensation. A letter
then appears, narrating the affair with such ac-
curacy and circumstantialty THAT one is almost
inclined to think NJ. Gaillardet must have been
in Neville Soule's pocket during the transac
tion. What shall we have next? A love affair
between the two Soules and the two Queens?
viii young Neville Soule run away with the
bride of some erandee of Spain? Or, what
will it be? Something must be done seon or
the excitement will die out.

John MITCHELL,

Mr. Mitchell, as has been seen by his reply,
which we published yesterday, to the attacks
of the abolitionists does not seem in any wise
daunted by the ferocity of those gentry. He
treats them with the cool contempt which
their character deserves. He understands
instinctively that the bark of these animals is
worse than their bite Mr.. Mitchell still ad-
heres to the opinion that he would like to
have good plantation, well stocked with ne
groes, in Alabama. We wish he had, and
in passing, we may remark that we should
like to have one just like it, in Virginia.
The only difference in this respect between
Mr.. Mitchell and the aboltionists is this If
he owned hundred negroes in Alabama, he
would live there, enjoy himself and make his
servants happy. If the abolitionists were in
the same position, they would sell the negroes,
pocket the money, and then, without wink
or blush, denounce and curse slavery and
Shareholders. We have never heard of sin.

which slave property has fallen into abolition
hands, in which they failed to pursue exactly

THE FILLIBUSTERS

... The members of the U. s. Senate who de-.
s!nounced SO bitterly the invaders of Lower
california, must prepare to haul in their
horns. 1t is by no means. certain, according
to the latest accounts, tilt Walkers party
has been used up by the exicans On the
contrary, there is a chancekhat the boot is on
the other leg. Possibly the character of these
men has been entirely misunderstood, and
they are heroes and gentlemen instead of va
gabonds and pirates. We cannot doubt that

what hastily denounced the conduct of Gen.
Walker and his party, viii be magnanimous
