How TO GET AT THE GAS MoNoPoLIEs.-We
publish to-day some interesting and valuable
statistics in regard to gas. twill be seen that
u substitute for the gas in common use is re-
commended in the shape Of petroleum. Any
suggestion calculated to assist the community
in its righteous war against gas monopolies Ia
deserving consideration. The gas monopo-
lists treat their customers like dictators. They
establish rules and regulations for the govern
ment Of consumers, fix an exorbitant scale Of
prices, and regulate the amount according to
some method Of their own, unknown 70 anybody
else. A gas bill 10 the production Of some

and Brooklyn have been too long subject to the

monopolisss, and, we repeat, any substitute that
can be proposed for the common gas should

WINDING UP OF THE MAY ANNrvERsAREs.-
The periodical gathering in this metropolis of
the preachers, philanthropists, negro and white
orators, missionaries, and old women, both in
pantaloons and pettiooats, to reform the world
has just taken place. The May anniversaries
have been held and are over, except that of
the Quakers, which takes place the ensuing
week. We have spread before our readers
from day to day the proceedings Of the different
societies, and there remains little more to be
said. Some of these societies are useful, others
OF little use, as far as the public are concerned.
Sometimes there is little philanthropy at bottom,
and that is often misdirected. Generally the So
cietes and their orators overlook objects ofchar-
ity at their own doors, and run far away to seek
those less worthy Of notice. Still, with all the
hypocritical cant, humbug and visionary trash let
OF by the shallow orators at these gatherings
some good comes out of them to n few suffering
people. II is q question, however, whether the
harm done does not outweigh the good. The
active agents Of The societies are, for the most
part, people Of one idea, agitators and revolu-
tionists. They drag politics into their proceed
ines and become the 6rebrands of discord.
There are some exceptions. but this IL so o. o
general rule. They benefit themselves more
than anybody else. The anniversaries give
them fine opportunity to come TO the ne
tropolis and enjoy its pleasures. They can slip

dare not enjoy nj home They are liorjzed ana

CHuRcuEs.-we present elsewhere very in

churches Of the metropolis. There are now two
hundred and seventy-four churches in this city
and one hundred and scventy-eight in Brook

is,ering to the spiritual and moral wants Of one
community. This is an exceedingly large pro-
portion It is evident that the influence for

immense II directed solely TO such proper
and legitimate object as the morality Of the
people; but, Judging from the murders, robbery
and swindling so rife at all times, and from the
severe repressivc laws that are found necessary,
there Is reason TO fear THAI, numerous as our
churches are, splendid IA are the edifices in
which the congregations assemble, magnificent
and costly as are the organs, the moral influence
Is, after all, very little. And the real reason,
doubtless, is that the churches have abandoned
the attempt to guard the spiritual welfare Of
the race as q slow and prosy old business, and
thrown themselves head foremost into D0litics.

MILITARY ARREST--NEGLFCT OF
Duty By CIVIL OFFICERS,

From the Atlanta New Era. 2lst.l
Many Of orr readers are doubtless aware
that Mr.. JAMES VI. LACKY, highly re-
spectacle citizen Of Barlow county. was ar
rested at Gainesville about a week ago bv
order Of Gen. THOMAS, and brought under
guard to this city for confinement: and we
take pleasure Of informing them that he has
been turned over TO the civil courts.
The circumstances of the arrest, as we are
informed, are as follows:
Early in last month Mr.. LACKY commit
ted the ofense Of assault and battery upon
the person Of a gentleman residing in this
city, who was at Gainesville on business.
under circumstances which this gentleman
thought uniustifiable: and as the civil Of
Ulcers Of the county and bailiwick were cogui-
zant Of the offense, and refused or neglected
to make an arrest and bring Mr.. LACKY TO
trial, this gentleman presented the matter to
the consideration Of Gen. THOMAS.
Gen. GRANT having issued his recent
order requiring the military to arrest all
persons committing any offense whom the
civil officers are unable to arrest or when
they refuse or neglect TO arrest them, Gen.
THOMAS ordered that Mr.. LAcKY be arrest
ed and confined until proper tribunal was
ready and willing to try him.
Upon being arrested and brought to this
city, Mr.. LACKY at once employed as his
attorney Col. H. p. FARRAR, whose course
before as well as since the war, entities him
to the confidence of both the people and the
Government
Through the influence which Col. FARRAR
possesses, both as lawyer and as a gentle
man, at Department Headquarters, Mr..
LACKY fortunately escapes military confne-
ment and trial by peing permitted to return
to Barlow county, and answer for his crime
before a civil tribunal.
As this is the first case of an arrest under
Gen. GRANTS order in this State we hope
the civil officers henceforth will evince such
q disposition to discharge their duties as
will avoid the necessity for further military
arrests, as by this neglect of duty, offending
parties are liable to be thrust into prison to
awaitthe pleasure of the military authorities.

THE COTTON PROSPECT.

Cotton is reported as being knee-high in
the eastern part of Warren and Claiborne
counties, Mississippi and devastated by
worms but good in Pike, Amite, Franklin
and Marion.
Cotion-growing reports from Kinds, Car
roll, Madison, Claiborne and Scott counties,
Of three hundred and twenty-three planta-
tions, which 10 1860 employed 1924 hands
on 843Il acres, making 6,63l bales, there
are this year 1886 hands planting 32,222
acres.
From other counties the reports are not
full.
On this basis the crop of 1866 would be
100000 bales in Mississippi, and 100000
in the United States.
COTTON on THE BRAZOs.-A letter from
Matagorda, Texas, of the 18th, says that the
catterpillers are now fully at work on COney
and Oyster creeks and the BrazOs. Several

in ten DAYS. Not over a quarter to a third

CROPS IN SOUTH CAROLINA-THE FREED

of the Charleston Courier says:
The crops are light. The provision crop

The corn seems to have had no ambition 10

seems to have been omitted in most of the
contracts in the list Of field products to be
divided with the laborers, and these latter
now claim their share or a recognition of
their right to it, as a part of the bargain as
then understood IT, With a heavy corn crop
il is probable that no question would have
been raised with reference TO the fodder; but
under existing circumstances, where each
freedman's share of the corn will amount to
trine it is not surprising that their atten-
ton should be directed to other sources to
make up the deficiency. When the harvest
IS over the division of the crop will almost
inevitably result in much disappointment,
angry disputes, and vexatious litigation, and
will thus add another argument IN favor OF
specific wages The cotton fields are very
much improved in appearance, and If we do
not have an early frost, will yield more heav-
lily than was anticipated six weeks ago.
