would find few friends among those with whom
he was seeking to affiliate.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, addressed the
Committee, in opposition to the Lecompton
Constitution. and in reply to the Presidents
Kansas message. He took the ground, first,
that the Lecompton Constitution did not come
before Congress clothed with the authority Of
law; and, second, that it did not come before
them as the choice of the people to be affected
by it.
He admitted that Lecompton might have
come under the forms of law, but it was not
clothed with the authority of law.
Was the Lecompton Constitution the choice
Of the people of Kansas? They were called
apon to force by the strong arm Of power upon
su unwilling, protesting, and resisting peo-
pie. Constitution founded neither on the law
under which they live, nor On the will of the
people upon whom it lays its letters Ii was
remarkable, that while there was great deal
else in the Kansas message, there was net
word as to whether the people of Kansas did or
did not want this Constitution. The President
told them he received the Constitution from
john Calhoun, and that John Calhoun hoped
he won:d lay it before Congress, but he did not
tel them whether the people Of Kansas had
breathed the breath Of life into it. Isappeared
from other sources that the President had not
lifted fager 10 ascertain that important fact.
II had received no ''ofiicial Information" of
is utter condemnation by ten thoussHd Kansas
feeInen, though he had heard, by other than
ciiicial'' ears, probably, that the Free Safe
men had voted for State officers under the in
s.rGment. No tub;erfuge would avail to blot
cut the fact of that solemn judgment Of the peo-
pie of Kansas. They nigh wrange and debate
about legality, and stiae investigation, but the
| charge o. attempting to force a Constitution
upon an unwilling people would remain brand
ed upon their brow, aud the blood spilled in
tie work would be upon their hands.

SIR: find myself constrained By imperative
public duties to torego the qualification of being
present at the inauguration of the Statue Of
Washington, at Richmond, on the 22d instant.
l regret it the more, because, representing,
for the time being, in her Chief Msgistracy, the
great Commonwealth, whose existence is due,
in no small degree, to the magnanimity of Vir-
ginia, inspired by the counsels of her most IT,
lustrious sons, and manifested in her cession to
the Confederated States of her claims to the
territory northwest of the Ohio, it would give
nae especial pleasure to bear to the people of
Virginia earnest assurances of cordial good will
from the people of Ohio, and to add the expires.
sion of their fervent desire that the spirit Of
Washington, whose statue you are about to in,
augurate, penetrating and pervading the hearts
of all his counsrymen, may preserve in perpetu-
ity that Liberty and Union, to establish and
maintain which was the great labor of his life.
Deprived OF the pleasure of expressing their
assurances in person, permit me to avail my
self of this mode of rendering them; and be-
lieve me to be, with sentiments of the greatest
respect for yourself and your associates on the
committee, very truly, yours, s. P. CHASE.

The Price Of Gas.

In midsummer, during Geo. B. Sar-
gents administration Of the City affairs,
a contract was executed between the
City and the Davenport Gas Light
and Coke Co., in which it was agreed
that the Gas Go. should furnish the Gas
for the public use at the price of thirty
six dollars per year tor "a,l gas lamps
then erected, or thereafter to be arect-
ed IN the City, up to the year A. d.
1874. Under the contract, (which
never should have been del the Gas
Co. claim the right Of erecting an in
definite number ct lamp posts, at their
own discretion, and that the City is
bound to take and pay for the amount
Of gas consumed.
Their attorneys, Mcssrs. Cook, Dill
on & LinGley, we are informed, so adj
wise the Gas Co. On the other hand
the City claims that the Gas Co., have
no right to erect lamps posts; that this
can only be done by the. authorities of
the City, at such times and places and
in such numbers, as the City may de-
termine. Under the contract the Gas
Co. has, without authority, erected l43
lamps, making the whole number
erected 253 to light, which will cost
the City annually S9.lOs.
In the month Of June, the claims of
the Gas Go. became SO exacting, that
An order was passed the City Council
to notify the Gas Co. that on and after
July l, 1858, the City would pay for
no more gas. Since then the Council
has refused to pay the monthly bills Of
the Gas Co. Still the Gas Co. contin-
ues to light the public lamps, adhere
ing to their own and their counsel's
construction Of thatcontract. 1t seems
that no sane man can construe the con-
tract as giving the Gas Co. the pow
er Of erecting lamp posts. If they
have the power, then the Gas Co. can
erect any number, and as thick as they
please. 1t can erect 500 or 5000 AZ
it may choose. But the Gas Co.'S
