THE TYRANNY OF THE GAS COMPANIES. - In
stitutions must be conducted on erroneous
principles that have the enmity of the whole
community, and we think there never were
institutions so universally and literally hated
as the gas companies are by the people of this
city. Every man has his grievance, and the
irregularities shown in the testimony taken
before the investigating committee are enough
to forfeit the charters. We hope the Legisla-
ture will make such changes in the law as will
render IL impossible in the future that these
companies should tyrannize over the people as
they have done in the past. Could there be a
more obvious outrage than the case Of Judge
Daly2 The gas was not In his house for three
months, was turned of in the street, and he
was In the country; but the bills came all the
same, and despite remonstrance he was com
PEELED to pay half the amount charged to pre-
vent the complete withdrawal Of gas.

BrNcKLEy GoNE-MR. JonYsoS's PAR
poSs.-Rollins has proved too much for Bnck-
ley, late Solicitor Of the Treasury. Buckley
has been dismissed, and by order Of President
Grant, aud the Fullerton trial, which was put
of from time to time, as IL appears, for the con-
venience Of Fullerton, Is to 20 on without any
further dilatory motions and delays. There
appear to be good reasons for the opinion
that the late President Johnson became 30
entangled in the web which the whskey rings
contrived to weave around him that he found
Il easier to assist in getting their unfortunate
friends out OF their scrapes than to prosecute
and punish them. Mr.. Johnsons pardons ut
the eleventh hour TO the most notorious con-
traband whiskcy operators sent TO the State
Prison, but intercepted by President Grant,
are calculated to awaken this suspicion. But
altogether the benevolence Of Mr.. Johnson for
imprisoned mail and bank robbers, counter
feiters and whiskey thieves was very remark
able His overfowing sympatbies for suffering
humanity might have been more proftably
employed in other channels. Such q Presi-
dent comes only once In century.

More Telegraph Trickery.

The yellow slip Is q thing well known to
every merchant and business man in New
York and in every large city in the country
1t is q news slip which is distributed by the
telegraph company to Subscribers at certain
hours of the day, containing the principal for
eign and domestic market quotations Of our
securities, gold and the leading staples. It is
a custom of many years standing, and as the
Western Union Telegraph Company has
increased or secured its monopoly In the
transmission of intelligence by the wires, in
the same proportion has It been able to bring
the mercantile community under the necessity
Of subscribing to the yellow slip. By this
means 1t has gradually driven out every COM
petitor in supplying commercial news and
brought the markets to be subject in q large
degree to the influence of the statements con-
tanned In these reports.
For long years merchants in every branch
Of trade have suspected and complained of
manipulation Of these market reports; but it
has never been possible to bring the suspi-
cions home directly to the parties, and the
telegraph monopoly has been too powerful for
indiyiduals to cope with. Whether the yellow
slip contained truths or lies 1t il necessary to
the business man to subscribe for it, In order
to know what Influences are acting on the
market, so that the telegraph company
secured profitable item of business In sub
scriptions to its news publications, and some
body had the advantages to be derived from
the control of the intelligence to be given TO
the public. These advantages are found in
the ability to delay for several hours any news
Of an important advance or decline In prices;
meanwhile some one operated In the market.
Before the late war the principal scene of
these operations was the Southern cotton
markets. to-day the exclusive possession OF
news by the Atlantic cable extends the sphere
TO both sides Of the ocean.
We have had several occasions to refer TO
suspicious delays in the delivery Of these mar
ket reports at moments Of great advance or
decline in prices, and yesterday, in our money
market report, we were compelled to cite
another fragrant instance. On Monday n ma
terial change in the quotations. Of American
securities occurred in London. The yellow
slip was distributed as usual, with all the GUS
tomary quotations filled up, except only United
States securities. These had been omitted.
and when, several hours later, the London quo-
tations were obtained, IL was found that an
important decline had occurred. The instance
was so fagrant that the board Of government
brokers felt compelled to take into considera-
tion the provision Of a remedy for the evil.
The suggestion was made that the board
should send its own agent to London to report
the market.
This, gentlemen, Is not tho true remedy. So
long ~ o clique Of private individuals holds
control Of the exclusive transmission Of intclli-
ssnos By telegraph, 20 long will this evil

Row AMONG THE RADICALS IN VIRGINIA.
An attempt was made in Richmond yesterday
10 hold republican State convention, when
an indcscribable scene Of confusion arose upon
an attempt to place an obnoxious individual
in the chair. Finally regular fight occurred,
when the Mayor ordered the police to clear the
hall. Our dispatches state that the delegates
were Tor time wandering around the
streets, like lost tribes, In search Of place Of
shelter. This Is but another indication OF the
breaking up Of old parties and factions under
Grants administration and the establishment
Of law and order under responsible and ener-
getic government.

Assessor WEBSTER, THE BROKERS AND THE
REPoRTERs. our reports of TIE interest
ing proceedings in the Assessors Office yes
terdsy. Mr.. Webster has the right view of the
subject. The public, and especially the tax
paying public, have an interest in this ques-
ton, whether the brokers are or are not liable
under the laws of Congress to be taxed for
their banking operations, and accordingly the
public press has some rights in this matter,
which Mr.. Webster very properly recognizes
We think, too, that Mr.. Webster has the law
and the right on his side in reference to this
tax on the brokers, and that, perhaps, they
are only changing the frying-pan into the fire
in falling into the hands Of the lawyers, the
courts and the reporters.

spain-Monarchy and Republic.

The news this morning from Spain indicates
the approach Of the storm which Is but the
natural result OF the liberal movement In that
country. Up to the present time the several
parties have been marshalling their forces for
the fight The Church party, unwilling to
strike until well prepared, has quietly waited
for the proper moment, when telling blow
might be dealt for the restoration Of the mon
archy. Every day that the existing state Of
things continues is advantageous to the clerical
faction, for it indicates that the liberal move
ment is at standstill. No republican effort
can succeed In Spain without being progress
sive, and we may say that for the last
month the revolution has been retrograde.
The republicans now attack the Ministry for
their monarchical tendencies and demand the
destitution Of Montpensier from his grade Of
marshal. The Minister Of Marine retorts by
declaring that throne with Montpensier upon
it is preferable to . republic. The ball is
opened, and the next few days may bring US
news Of radical division of parties which can
alone unite again in peace after destructive
civil war;

ANOTHER PHASE OF THE WOMAN MoyR-
MENT-THE FAIR SEX IN THE PRIZE RNa.-In
Boston letter elsewhere we give the latest
news from that Athens of America that self
boasted centre of all the refinement, culture
and morality of the country that capital Of
Puritanical severity in all the proprieties of
life. Never was there witnessed a more dis
graceful, degrading and brutal spectacle than
the event thus chronicled as occurring in the
capital of New England. Much has been heard
of the degradation of the vile of this city-the
prize fighters and gougers and dog fighters and
rufians Of every stamp--but absolute Vice has
not yet gotten here so far down as TO match
two wretched women to such an encounter as
that to which our rufians pit their dogs. This
acme of human disgrace was reserved for
Boston and the land of isms and progress and
woman's rights. In future chronicles of the
great women of Massachusetts, we must not
forget Sally Chapman and Molly Jones and
their game encounter of an hour and u quarter.

THE New HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
republicans have gained victory over the
democratic candidate for Governor In New
Hampshire once more by 9 large majority.
They also carry the State for Congressional
delegates and the State Legislature. II is
evident that the New Hampshire people have
taken Grants inaugural as political creed
and endorse the common sense views it con-
tains. This indicates that Grant may depend
upon the people to back him up in all his
efforts to restore the government to its proper
poise and deal destruction to the rings OF plum
derers who are trying to control the country

The SUPPRESSION OF GAMBLING. a.-There is
some virtue in public place. The authorities,
for instance. make magnificent efforts to sup
press that most horrible and demoralizing
vice, gambling. Two audacious gamblers
were taken in Brooklyn the other day, aged
respectively ten years and twelve years. They
were captured without resistance. The officer
did not secure their gambling Implements, for
there were only two or three little pieces Of
broken crockery or buttons and hole in the
ground. He could not take possession of the
hole in the ground, and, therefore, left the
crockery. Judge Bosworth asked the officer
if it was considered an offence over in Brook
lyn for little boys to pitch buttons into hole ?"
but we hope such question will not allay the
ardor of that guardian of the public morality
The officers name is Carrougher. Too much
praise cannot be given to the activity Of the
police against the gamblers.
