\ MISslssIPrIAN's THANEsGryING PEoCLAMA-
TIoN.-Gov MRac, of Mississippi, proclaims
Thanksgiving in the following manner, which is
more remarkable for busincSs-likc than rcli-
gious spirit:
Since have been in Office, l have, in each
wear, as Governor OF the State, without any
authority of law, but sustained by ancient
tom, appointed day of Thanksgiving. Thursday,
the 18th day Of this month, is the day now APP
pointed, and trust it will be observed. There
is, certainly, some super-ruling Providence
which has brought us into existence, and which
will ultimately accomplish the ends for which
We were created, not only us individuals bnt as
people. Nothing, therefore, can be lost byre-
cognizing the obligation which we owe to the
Supreme Being; by it much good may be
vained"

ANSWER To THE Gas CoMFANY.-Mr. Paxton
mas taken UP the gauntlet which was thrown
out in the predatory remarks of the Gas Com
panv, and has rallied to the defence Ofthe Com
nittee on Accounts, in very distinct and easily
understood terms. The gist of this whole con-
trove.sy is of easy Interpretation as it looks to
us at this present timc-taking both reports
and Mr.. PaxtOn's reply, as the basis for our
stand point: and here it is. 1st. What does
the word 'ratC" mean in the charter! The Com
mittec on Accounts claim land we think tairly)
that it means that the city should pay the same
price per thousand feet MS is paid by the City
of Pittsburgh. The Gas Company, as under
stood, claim that the rate must be modified ac-
cording to the amount consumed-that is-we
must consume the same amount that Pittsburgh
does, in order to get it at the same price. The
second point ofdisputc is, to the 'rule of three
formula-worked out with such different re-
suits by the Committee and the Gas Company.
The Committee on Accounts and Gas Com
pany agree in this, as we understand, that the
cost Of lamp post in Pittsburgh is $25,9s;
they further agree that the burners consume
n feet per hour. Now take what we believeis
admitted lat least not denied) by the Gas Com
pany, that the cost per thousand feet is Sl,02 in
Pittsburgh. This divided into $25, 9S, the agreed
cost per lamp post, and it gives %, 400 feet per
annum, for each post. 1t is very simple mat
ter when this result is obtained, to get at the
number of hours the street lamps are kept burn
ing; which, when obtained, settles the matter
at once We'll, to get at the result, it is simply
necessary to divide the %, 40 feet (whole num-
her of feet consumed by each post, per annum)
by tue number of feet consumed per hour, which
is, as before stated, Z! feet. This gives us 1896
hours which, of course, substantates the report
of the Committee on that head, beyond the posi-
bility of bubble.
Now, the whole matter with us, turns upon
this, is there sufficient evidence in possession of
any person to form legal contract, if the mat
ter was brought into the courtSy In other words,
is there a regularly signed, scaled and delivered
contract in the possession of either the city or
the Gas Company? So far we know, all
search for such an article has been in vain; there
is none As to an understanding, we believe
that the Gas Company have acted under an I'M
derstood-.a sort of dead.born contract. Itnever
had legal life, whatever its moral vitality may
be- As it stands the city could not be bound
by it. and of course had the right to terminate it
as she did
This is as fair and impartial a statement of
the case as we know how to make.
