IN Boston they have been agitating
the gas question. 1t was proposed that
the city should make its own gas, if it
could be done for $3.50 per thousand
cubic feet. The Common Council have
been investigating the subject, and
have come to the conclusion that gas
ought to be furnished at that rate; but.
fearful of the responsiveness of politi-
cally-mauaCed gas works, they are 10th

II Is believed that the private gas com

a thousand feet, will settle the matter
by taking OFF mt least one-third of the

The Election Troubles ia Taylor
County.
The people of Taylor have been u good
deal exercised of late over "A contest at
their Court House in reference to the
legality of the returns from the cleo
tions held in their various townships
on the 25th of October last. Itappears
that one ofthe townships sent in its re.
turns certified in figures alone, instead
ofthe totals being fully written out,
and that the Board of Supervisors, at
its meeting the twelfth day after the
election, was induced 10 throw out this
township. The movers for its rejec-
ton were a few of the rebel brethren
who had discovered that by so doing
their county ticket could be elected. In
the meantime, some of the Union men
took it into their heads to examine the
balance of the returns from the rest Of
the townships, and, strangely enough,
1t was found that in none of them had
the strict letter the law been complied
with. Whereupon the Board of Super
visors was moved and induced
to declare the entire vote of the
county null and void. This proceeding
raised a great deal of excitement of
course, so much so. that the Board met
again on the 18th of November,
and after re-examining and re discuss
ing the returns, concluded to reverse
their former order and accept all the
townships. The rebels then applied to
Judge Ollie, of the Circuit Court, for a
writ of CertiOrari, and their appIica-
ton was heard last week at the Court
House in Pruntytown, and was dis
cnssed at great length pro and con, by
numerous lawyers. The excitement
was intense we are told, and the people
throughout the county very deeply in
terested. Hon. Benjamin Stanton, of
this city, and T. b. Taylor, of Mounds
vile, appeared for the Union candi-
dates elected by the decision of the
Board, and Col. Ben Wilson, Hon. VIM.
g. Brown, and Fontain Smith, Esqr.,
for the contestants. Judge Ollie gave
his decision on Thursday morning, and
refused the writ applied for, thus at
tirming the decision of the Board of
Supervisors, and awarding certificates
OF election to the Union candidates.

shermnnonst Stevens.

Gen Sherman happened to be present ID
the House of Representatives the day that
old Thad Stevens of Pa, made his out
rageous speech denouncing the President,
and heard the whole of it. When Stevens
had got through with that part of it in which
he abused Mr. Raymond so wickedly, be-
cause Mr.. Raymond had spoken in just and
honorable terms of the heroism of the Con-
federate soldiery, and where he (Stevens)
made certain coarse and cOwardly illusions
to the PROSTATE South, Gen. Sherman could
contain himself no lOrger, but turning to a
party of friends, who, with him. We're listen
! ing to the dastardIy speech, remarked:
/ Such utterances have no longer the
/ merit of being bold and fearless. The pri-
/ vate soldier who has fought and died un-
/ heralded puts such rhetoric to shame. None
/ but towards taunt fallen foes; and God pity
/ the future of our country If such passions
are to rule in it's legislative halls.
This generous and just criticism, says the
Memphis Argus, does equal credit to The
head and the heart of gallant soldier Gen
Sherman, we haven't the least doubt, speak
the sentiments of every brave and honor
able man of the North, whether citizen o
soldier, who, in the late war, rallied to tn
banners of the Union and saved the integ
rity of the Republic. To such men the de
cison of all questions growing out OF tn
war, and affecting the status of the South
rightfuIly belong, whether we conside
their merit, their intelligence, or thei
numbers.

THE PRESIDENT.

We lay before our readers this morn
ing the veto massage of the President
upon the Freedmen's Bureau Bill. An
drew Johnson has ceased to be the lead
er of party to become the President OF
a nation. We may well congratulate our
selves, that at time when the South was
not permitted to be heard in her own be-
half; when her defenders were few and
her traducers many in the national couh-
ellis, the President has dared to hit
his voice and throw the weight of his IN
Auence in her behalf. He has not plead
ed for her, he has simply demanded
for her that exact and equal justice
which the Constitution guarantees to each
and every member of the sisterhood OF
States. Every influence has been
brought to bear to make prejudice
warp the judgement of the President.
Thank God we have President who
"can afford to do right'-"who is resolved
to administer the Government upon the
principles laid down in our Constitution
Andrew Johnson has arrested the storm
with which fanatical majority intended
to overwhelm US. He has pierced the
black cloud that has so long hung over
rs and shown us the "silver lining"
We have not been entirely unprepared
for this. His speeches to the Montana
delegation, to the Virginia delegation,
and to the Douglasses and Downings OF
New England, have foreshadowed such
action. Yet we must confess that our
calculations were based more upon hopes
than certainties concerning the future
The words he then spoke have become
actions, now. The confidence of tn,
whole South will now be given hin
cheerfully. freely and gratefully; and up
on the broad platform of the Union ant
the Constitution AS our Fathers mad
them, can we meet the moderate, cOnserv
ative party of the North, and with
strength given by the people and tn
motive which animates the Prcsiden
this Republic can be administered upo
basis, that, while it shall exact suppo
and obedience from all, yet shall do il
justice to none. In olden times when
warrior returned from conquest, magni
icent pageants greeted him, and mum
rous toLous OF a grateful people we
showered upon him as manifestations
their gratitude. Time passes away al
these extravagancies are remembered
their magni6cence and the treasure tn
cost. But "peace hath her victories
less renowned than war'-and long
ter some of our military chieftains sh
have ceased to be remembered, even
the remotest time will Andrew Johns
live and be remembered, as the man W
dared to do right and in doing so dared
be the President of an entire nation.
