lowing as his experience:

THE New York Times processes to
have information about a. new scheme
for supplying gas to towns and cities.
This scheme contemplates the ''manu-
facture of gas on large scale, with i'm
mense works, in the Immediate neigh
borhood of coal mines, where coal can
be purchased for fifty cents per ton, and
to convey it through mines to the
several cities, where it can be con-
sumed at one quarter its present cost
The Atlantic cities and interior cities of
the Northern States will be supplied
from the coal mines of Pennsylvania
direct by one company. Another will
manufacture at the coal mines of Vir-
ginia or North Carolina, and supply the
Southern cities and towns. The West
will get their gas from the Missouri
mines; and so on throughout the Union.
These several projects will be conducted
as National affairs, under the authority
of Congress. The immense advantages
of such system are at once apparent.
They reach not only to the great reduc-
ton in price, but to the Improvement in
the quality of the gas, and the Danish
ment of gas manufacturing nuisnnces
from the cities. Preparations are al
ready in forward condition for the con-
summation of this desirable reform,
and it will be an established fact in less
than three years from the present
time.'

THE OLD YEAR OUT,

The year 1866 is about TO join its pre-
decessors, with its hopes and fears, its
joys and sorrows, its good and evil. 1t
has not-as many hoped a twelve
month ago it would-been the COM
mencement of the political existence of
reconstructed Union; neither has it
witnessed the secure establishment of
our national finances on an enduring
basis, but we have we'll founded rea-
sons for cheerful anticipations. Politics
have more relation to men and less to
measures, than they had ut the COM
mencement of the year, and the loyal
people of the land, having emancipated
the blacks, are now beginning to eman-
cipate themselves from partisan des-
potism. Taken all in all, old 1866 has
not been n bad year; and when we
shall have buried him, with all his
shortcomings, decently, we will turn
with a cheerful welcome TO 1867. AS

ace balcony at Versailles, when King
of France had given up the ghost, and
another succeeded him. "Le Roi est

TIE Cleveland Herald says that the
fact that a two hundred ton yacht can
run with safety across the ocean with
favoring gales, and beat the time of
large clipper ships proves nothing new.
The little lake schooners, of from three
hundred to four hundred tons, with no
special preparations fora voyage which
was never dreamed of by their builders,
have repeatedly crossed the Atlantic,
sometimes in the worst weather, and
frequently run by the larger, better pre-
pared, and better manned ocean sailing
packets. The yachts, too, were manned
by more than double the number of
men than those on the Direct Trade"
schoOners that left Cleveland few
years ago for Europe.

WHAT. FoRNEY SAYS.
The Southern men here do not feel
much encouraged to-day by the decia-
ration of Forney's Chronicle, that the
ratification of the amendment will not
be hnaIity in the basis of restoration.
SUPREME COURT DECISION. --
The Supreme Court to-day made
public the full official revised decision
in the Indiana conspiracy, or BowIes
and Milligan cases. 1t shows that the
points previously made public have
been substantially and correctly stated.
UNANINuTY WITH A But.
The Court was unanimous in agreeing
that the trial of civilians by military
commissions, at places where the civil
courts are in session, is illegal and I'M
constitutional.
A minority of the Court, however,
composed of Chief Justice Chase,
Swayne, Miller and Wayne, delivered
their views on the question as to wheth-
er Congress may not legalize military
commissions for the trial of civilians in
times of great public danger, which
they answer afhrmatively, and in this
respect they conclude their opinions as
follows:
1--WE think that the power of Con-
gress in such times, and in such locali-
ties, to authorize trial for crimes against
the security and safety'of the national
forces may be derived from its consti-
tutionalr authority to revise and sup
port armies, and declare war, if not
from constitutional authority to pro-
vide for governing the national forces.
We have no apprehension that this
power under our American system of
government, in which all official au-
thority is derived from the people, and
exercised under direct responsibility to
the people, is more likely to be abused
than the power to regulate commerce or
the power to borrow money. And we
are unwilling to give our assent, by si-
lence, to expressions of opinions which
come to us calculated, though not in
tended, to cripple the constitutional
powers of the Government, and to aug
ment the public dangers in time of in
VaSion and rebellion"

In the Herald of Health, for January,
Madame Demorest, who is good au-
thority on female dress in general,
writes a very sensible article on DRESS
and its Relations to Health" She
thinks that the undergarmentsan and COW
ering of the feet lack proper attention,
and speaks feelingly of "the elastic
which keeps the stocking up at the
knee as impeding the free circulation
of the blood, while 'tthe fashion now
prevalent of wide-spreading crinoline,
demands for the sake of modesty, as
well as health, a plentiful supply of
Undertaking" These straight for
ward sentences are as sensible as they
are modestly expressed, and it is to be
hoped that sensible and modest women
will follow Madame Demorest's advice,
and wear looser t'elaStic" at the knee
thicker Undertaking and moro of It.,
and thicker walking boots. These are
the processes which make women hap
Ply and undertakes miserable.
LATE English advices say that the
Fenian excitement is snbsiding; and
although the Irish question is not yet
settled and can never be settled until
Ireland receives the satisfaction to
which she is entitled, thing which the
British Government will do well TO
bear in mind, Fenianism may be said
to be ON the wane. 1t has even lost
some of the prestige which the English
journals gave it, by announcing with
great flourish the terrible preparations
of the invaders. The "Greek fire.
which was said to have been found has
turned out to be concentrated sulphuric
acid, used for the preparation of bone
manure. In several instances the per-
sons arrested by the detectives have
been liberated, in consequence of the
insufficiency of evidence to warrant
their detention, and seizures published
as important have resolved themselves
into insignifcance. Finally Head Gem
ter Stephens, as it was announced, is
not in Ireland, in England, nor, in
Europe, although he is reported to be
at Dnnkirk with his staff, who, it is
stated, keep the Head Center under
close surveillance. at- -t
TIE Supreme Court having decided
that military commissions for the try
ing OF civilians are illegal, the claim
agents are busy hunting up cases
where civilians have been fined by
such commissions. and where their
property has been seized for blockade
running, &c. 1t is said that there ~.
several million dollars of this nature
IN the Treasury. Their theory is that
all pecuniRry punishment of civiIiaps
Is illegal, and that the President will
oI9eE the treasury to make restitution.
