Gas OR No GAs.-i esterday morn
ing We published report of the Gas Light
and Coke Company, Of this city, which con-
tained averments which if true, justify the
conclusion adopted by the Company in ad
vancing the price Of gas to consumers. II
the company have prudently managed their
affairs. and have lost large sums Of money
and paid no dividends, the stock holders
would be justitable in doing one Of two
th'ngs-either in stopping business which
was sinking its capital, or in SO far advanc.
ing the price Of gas, that under prudent
management, some reasonable profit may
be insured to stock holders. It is certainly
unreasonable for the community to expect
that an association Of men will employ a
large capital without the hope of profit, but
on the contrary. with the certainty of losing
it in an Improbable business If gas cal.
not be afforded for 81, so per thousand feet,
the company must stop the supply, or ad-
vance the price. Citizens will grumble,
and in some instances will Temporarily sus-
pend the use of gas, but when they become
satisfied that to have so indispensable an ar.
ticle OF gas, they must pay for it such u
price as will warrant its manufacture. they
will be satisfied.
The company say that they have lost 81
900, and have not made any dividend. If
this is true, they would be insane to contin-
ne to sink their capital for the charitable
purpose Of supplying the city with gas 1t
costs one half more to manufacture gas here
than it does in 1.-The Eastern cities The
Western coal is So saturated with sulphur.
that the retorts are burned out in one half
the ordinary time, and Sc. Of retorts cost
about $1,000. Several sets of retorts are |
burned out in one year. The impure ele
ments of which the gas is compose, have to
be excluded by "a purifying process, twice
as expensive as the same process in the cas-
Tern statee. W., Hike all v+Le- .;.;-..-, -:n
be subjected to their additional tax, and We
would not submit to it without grumbling,
unless it became an imperative necessity,
which seems to be the case by the report Of

RULES FOR THE DETECTION
OF COUNTEIsFEfTS.

Mr.. John S. Dye has presented Il
plan in his Val Street Broker, for the
detection of counterfeit and altered bank
bills. Seven, which are printed in En-
glish, French and German. They are
as follows
1. Examine the form and feature of
all human figures on the note. If the
forms are graceful and features distinct;
examine the drapery if the folds lay ma
turaI, and the hair of the head should
be examined.
2. Examine we'll the lettering, the
title of the bank, or the round hand
writing on the face of the note. On all
genuine notes this work is done with
great skill and perfectness, and there
has never been 4 counterfeit but what
was defective in the lettering.
3. The imprint or engravers names.
By observing the great perfection of the
different companies names, in the even
ness and shape of the fine letters !;
counterfeiters never get the imprint
perfect. This rule alone, if strictly OBJ
served, viii detect every counterfeit bill
in existence.
4. The shading on the backgrounds
OF the VISnette, or over or aroun the
letters forming the name of the bank,
IN a good bill is even and perfect on a
counterfeit irregular and imperfect.
3. Examine we'll the figures on the
other parts of the note containing the
denomination to see if it is of the same
character as that which forms the 'orna-
mental work surrounding it.
g.. Never take a bill that is deficient
in any of the above points, and if youn
impression is bad when you first see it
you had better be careful how you be-
come confused in looking into the tex.
ture of the workmanship of the bill.
Z. Examine the name of State
name of the bank and name of the towr
where the bank is located. If it ha:
been altered from a bank the defect cal
be plainely seen, as the alteration vii
show it has been stamped II.

KEEP TT IN MIND When the Black
Republican leaders aud politicians are
heard asserting their friendship for a
system that shall keep the public money
sacred to public uses; let the fact be
kept in mind, that Atkinson's Treasury
Bill was voted against by every Repub-
lican Senator and Representatives, in
the Legislature of 1858 and 1854, and
that with their united aid. Breslin was
enabled to defeat all efforts to keep him
n check.-NcuorE 1dr0cufe.

GIBsON,s SPEECII In KENTON.

Bill Gibson, when making his speech
in Kenton two years ago, while a can
didate for State Treasurer, used the fol-
lowing language: 1T would take two
elder mills to press any money out of
the treasury at, this time;" meaning of
course, that the Democrats had drained
it dry. Wonder how many mills it
would take to press any out now?
In his weak effort to eXOnerate him
self from censure, and saddle all the
blame on his brother-in-law he has ut
terly failed to tell the people where the
money is. Chase, Gibson, Ford & Co,
may have used it last fall for a Kansas
bleeding Fund, or they may have in
vested it in Minneso lalFls. There is
something very suspicious about the
whole transaction. The Attorney Gen
eral has been engaged in western spec
ulations, and he may have shared the
spoils with the understanding that he
was not to prosecute Gibson for a crime
that would have SEN him to the peni.
tertiary had not the late Republican
Legislature repealed the law.
Never before in the whole history of
the State, has she been so disgraccd in
the eyes of the world as at the present
time, and all through the mismanage-
ment of her black republican rulers
They have vastly increased the State
debt, and her Governor mas been oblig-
ed to resort to a private, swindiing bank
ing institution, to borrow money to pay
interest thereon.
If the people desire to have the last
drop of blood drawn from their veins
and the State made bankrupt, let them
continue these leeches in office.
