The Gas MEETING on Monday evening was
one of the most animated gatherings we have
seen in our town for long time. The citizens
feel incensed at having their property injured
and their privileges and comforts, both of a
public and private character, infringed upon
with impunity by man who wants to make
fat job off of the town. 1t is estimated that
our citizens have spent $4,000 in putting gas
fixtures in their residences, the Churches, &C.,
but if we are deprived of the gas this expense
will not only have been incurred for nothing,
but depreciation in the value of the real es-
tate must necessarily follow, to say nothing of
the expense OF providing other means of light.
ing our streets and dwellings. Has any man,
acting as a corporation, the right to injure
property under selfish pretext? Are not
corporations responsible for private injuries
caused by them? Damages are recovered
from other corporations, and there certainly
ought to be some redress from the outrages of
this one. We are certainly in deplorable
condition when we have no redress from pri-
vatc wrongs.
If there is no other remedy we will have to
wait for the Legislature to amend or annul the
present gas charter, and give US some protec
ton.

BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK.
It is perhaps not generally known that between
the city of Washington and the city of New
York, a distance of two hundred and twenty
four miles, the line of railroad is owned by five
different corporations-the Baltimore and Ohio,
from Washington to Baltimore the Philade:-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore, from Balti-
more to Phiad'a the Pennsylvania Central,
from the junction at Gray's Ferry around Phil
adelphia; the Camden and Amboy, f1paa
Philadelphia to New Brunswick, n j., aul
the New Jersey, from New Brunswick to New
York. This statement will account for many
of the difficulties that have arisen in the trans
portation of passengers, and for the numerous
complaints of slow trains and irregular time,
and very naturally for the numerous efforts in
Congress to established direct line connecting
the political capital of the nation with the
northern seaboard. The interested companies
have not been unmindful of these difficulties
and complaints, and have finally agreed upon
plan by which both will hereafter be success
fully avoided. The 18th of September has
been fixed tor the beginning of the experiment
