The CITY Of Columbus and Mont
1ornerY Township.

Last fall the city of Columbus and Mont
gomery township gave to General MORGAN
majority of 1872 over General Cox This
result surprised everybody. 1t was un-
precedented, and, hence, unexpected; and
vet grand as was that result, GEORGE W.
MEEKER, the D mocratic candidate for JUS
tIce OF the Peace, carried the city by ma
iorlty of ll71-39 more than General
MORGAN carried it by. 30

OmCIaI I,rooIamatIOn Declaring

The long-looked for official document,
declaring peace, has at last been issued by
the President. We now have the official
recognition of the fact that everywhere
throughout the Union peace prevails
There is no longer any war, or any pre-
tense for war measures. The onion is In
tact and nothing short Of flagrant usurpa-
tlon will continue to withhold from any
State its right of representation In Con-
gress, and DENY it voice in the matter Of
Federal legislation. With great gratifica-
tion will the true lovers Of their country
to-day read the Presidents Peace Procla-
nation. President JOHNSON has thus COM
pleted grand work. Itnow remains for
the people to compel their Representatives
or elect Representatives who are willing to
make their legislation conform to this con-
dition of things.

The CiiX HncIz Cases.

We have made, in our regular Common
Pleas report, brief note of the action of
the Court in what are known as the City
Hack cases. There were two cases brought
into Court on certlorari-The City of Colum-
bus against John Donlan, and the same
against Winfield Hicks. In the former case
the Court reversed the judgment and pro-
ceedings of the Mayor with costs; and in
the latter case, the Court affirmed the iudg-
ment of the Mayor with costs, and ordered
this aflirmance to be certified to the Mayor
for further proceedings thereon.
The effect of these decisions is understood
to be, to hold as void the city ordinance by
virtue of which the defendant Conlan, was
fined in the Police Court.

yesterday was more like that of June than
April. In the middle of the day, active pc

to seek the shady side OF the street. But

serious apprehension of protracted "heat-

Propose TO Tie the Hands Of the
President.

The Radicals at Washington have been in
caucus to consider how best to thwart the
President in his grand and patriotic policy
of conciliating the country. They are re-
ported to have come to the conclu-
sion to continue the session of Con-
grsss as long as possible. Never we're
there more demented set of men since the
world began who have undertaken the duty
Of craftsmanship. In political sense, such
aprotracted session will necessarily work
to the advantage of the Democrats.

From the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch.l
The Price of Gas Here and Else
where.


The report of the Louisville Gas Com
pany shows that the price of gas in that
city, Government tax included, and dis
count of 5 per cent. for prompt payment
taken off, is So 50 per thousand feet. In
Philadelphia, which once had the cheapest
gas works in the Union, the price, includ-
ing Government tax, discount off, is 1893.
In Louisville the public iamp-posts are fur
nished by the company, and the lamps sup.
piled with gas, lighted and extinguished,
for $50 per annum. In Philadelphia the
public lamps, for the same service, cost the
city $47.50 per anpum; so that Louisville
gets the same service as we do for $27
less per lamp than it costs us in this happy
region. No city in the United States pays
as much for lighting the public gas lamps
as Philadelphia; and this matter is one
which should demand attention from the
Gas Committees of Councils. The city of
Philadelphia uses eight times as much gas
as Louisville. Our works were, at one time,
supposed to be the finest in the country;
but at present we understand that In COM
parison with those of other cities, they are
about third-rate. The management in
other cities is also careful and scientific,
and the manufacturing is In the charge of
careful engineers. In Philadelphia we
elect a politician Chief Engineer, who
knows no more about the gas manufacture
than he does about theology, and we suffer
accordingly for the lack of common sense
and common honesty in the members of
Councils, who choose Trustees pledged in
advance to perpetuate an incompetent man
agement. The following tables, published
by the Louisville Gas Company, shows the
price of gas, and other interesting informa-
tion in relation to the subject:

Inc AMerIcah express OOnpanys
We find the following paragraph in a
late letter from the Columbus correspond
ent to the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
My letters to you are generally forward
ed by the American Express Company.
Allow me to state fact in regard to that
company, which shows their manner of do
ing business. A year or two since, sent a
small package from New York to Cleveland,
and paid, as supposed, the charge of rs
cents, and no more. The first letter from
home acknowledged the receipt of the
package, and with 1t, % cents, which it
seems Ioverpaid. They knew nothing OF
me, and had sent the change to the person
to whom the package was directed, as the
only means Of restoring it to one who
might have better claim on it than the
company had. This Is but small matter,
it is true, but remember that it Is in small
matters that honesty is best tested, and this
shows how scrupulously careful the Ameri-
can Express Company are in small things
