Tue CONVICTION OF JAMES PowERs.-James
Powers, who killed Edward A. Lutts, in Wash
ington city, has been convicted of murder in
the first degree Both the prisoner and his
victim were from Baltimore, and both young
men. The Star says;
The convicted man, Baltimorean, was IL
barkecper at the National Hotel in this city,
when that house was under the management
of Mr.. Dexter, and in that position became
well known to hundreds of the outside class of
associates, utilization with whom led him into
habits resulting in the commission Of the crime
for which he is to forfeit his life to the offended
law. The testimony clearly proved him guilty
of premeditated and cold bloodcd murder, and
all efforts that could be made tosave him from the
full measure Of the laws punishment will be la
Dor thrown away. 1t is, therefore, the duty of
his friends at once to set about the task of aid.
ing to prepare him to stand face to face with
the victim he sent unprepared out OF the world
before the FINAL Judge Of all. His case should
be warning TO misguided youths around U.S.
He is evidently young managed twenty three
or four-of quick intellectual parts-Of capaci-
" to have become a useful member of society,
had his associations been different We hear,
too, that his parents AMI family friends are
worthy and respectable people in Baltimore,
who will now realize the awful dangers Of suffer-
ing youth to grow up without effective checks
and guards.

GAS.

Messfs Editors:-I have not been an idle
spectator of the gas controversy which hus
been raging here for some months; and l am
now satisfied that there is more in it than meets
the eye-that its real object is not the gas its
price, and that Mr.. Bingham is not the real
mover in the matter-nor is the publc-and
that the end proposed is not to procure cheap
gas, or to promote the public interest. The OBJ
iect, and the whole object, is to make capital
popular capital for certain-one or twO-indi-
viduals l have said popular cgpitat.-This is
not the whole end-though tits the prime motive
with one,sswho is thirsting for the glory, Of set
ing up and breaking down naoncye2 companies
and corporations at pleasure;-but there are
some who think that were the present company
broken down. the stock might come into their
pockets on better terms than by going into the
market for it The stock and control of larger
companies than this gas company, and in COM
munities larger than Wheeling, have often been
obtained, by devices and pretences, even
more shallow, than those reSorted to in this in
stnnce.
l ask the people to pause and examine for
thenselves-Mr. Bingham thinks '76 has re-
turned, and shat he is himself martyr-not
knowing, that he is but verifying, in the part
he is playing, the fable of the monkey and the
cat A LOCKER Or.

ed unanimously in favor of adopting the paid

L1EUTENANr-eoyERNoR JACKSON

Yesterday We published an account OF the vote
In the Senate and House IF Delegates in the election
of Lieutenant Governor. Our readers will remem
Der that after the resignation of MIR. McComss, VIM.
L. jackson, Esq, Of Wood, was appointed by
Governor Wise. His incumbency could continue
consttutionslly only thirty days after the
ment OF the session of the Legislature. The question
then arose whether the General Assembly had the
right TO elect Lieutenant Governor, whether the
people alone could do 70. A protracted able ami.
mated and interesting debate ensued; and, at last it
was decided-and very properly, We think-that the
vacancy could and should be filled by the General
Assembly, until in accordance with writ OF election,
to be Issued by the Governor, the people shall
finally express their choice The vote of both Houses
was taken, and Mr.. Jackson was reinstated without
opposition. We are not advised as to the day when
the election by the people will be held. But If the
representatives of the people have spoken the sent
ments of their constituents in their choice of Lieu
tenant Governor, Mr.. Jackson will again, and the
third time be duly invested with the honors Of an
Office for which he is emnently fitted by his man
y and generous character we'll as his ability and
intelligence.
Mr.. Amber, who was elected President pro tenn
pore of the Senate for the interim between the exp
ration of Mr.. Jackson's constitutional term and the
election by the General Assembly, has presided with
dignity and mpartiality, that reflect credit upon him.
