GAS.

The Gale & Rand process of making gas
is destined to come into general use. IL
Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, San Fran
cisco and Pittsburg, 1t hiss already or soon
will take the place Of the old process,
iusuring for consumers 8 brighter light
tor half the money paid for coal gas In
Pittsbure a severe contest between the
old monopoly and the company owning
the new patent, has resulted In q pupnc
outcry against the former, In which the
nress. without distinction Of party or po-
s,tion. has aiken the lead with singular
unanimitY, The result will be bene1eial
not only to the new company but 70 the
people, who are tired Of a monopoly that
hss crown Is fierce Is misers usually get
to be over what they consider their pos
sessious. In New York city q new
compsny known as the New York Mutual
Gsslight company, hiss become the pur-
chaser Of this patent, and has recently
constructed works and laid several miles
of pipes and is now supplying. cheap gas,
much to the joy Of many thousand here
tofore q prey to q monopoly. Several
months sgo but for Tweed, the robber,
this company would have been at work
For some reason, only known to himself
he retarded the operations ofpurep honest
men, and forced delays when none should
exist. But he has at last resigned as q
director and sold out his stock and the
management passes into the hands OF
such men as George opdyke, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Joseph Seligmsn, n. B. La
Bsu, and A. V. Stout, so that at last fears
of interference OF dictstion from the ring
are removed. 1t is confidently expected,
a the Times, that these gentlemen viii
use the advantages possessed by the COM
psny to secure for all Of the loDg-suher-
citizens of New York a decent light
at q reasonable price, which is at present
almost the greatest boon that could be
bestowed pom the public. That 1t has
In part succeeded may be gathered from
the fact that already the price Of the
stock Of all the other companies has de-
.lined In consequence of their inability
TO compete with the younger company
md its newer and cheaper mode of manu-
tacturing gas. There is a lesson in this
Those that are wise will learn it.

IN the original character in which, during

the result Of q conference between Harper

THE III

Under this head the Louisville Ledger,
one OF the most fearless, outspoken and
honest of Democratic journals, has the fol-
lowing, which will be read and Endorsed
By every subscriber Of the APPEAL inter-
ested In securing q capable city govern
ment for Memphis. The Ledger says:
Candidates for the various city Offices are
announcing themselves / n considerable num-
bers. Among the list We notice the names Of
a number Of excellent gentlemen. Many Of
those announced we do not know personally.
in fact, in the selection OF municipal officers,
we think that personal friendships and par
~tialiIies ought to be ignored, and men chosen
on account Of their fitness for the position to
which they aspire, or, rather, for which the
voters induce them TO consent to take. As a
general rule we are won't TO look with suspi-
cion on the man who seeks, unsolicited, a
place in the city government. We suspect at
once that he has an ak to grind.
We do not propose TO become the partisan Of
any candidate. We are on the side Of the
people-the taxpayers and laborers-the men
who furnish the money, and who constitute
the solid wealth Of the city, and against all
rings, cliques, and combinations. What we
would do Is 10 arouse in the people a degree Of
interest In the selection Of officers which shall
them to look Into the matter for them
selves, and ascertain the objects Of every
candidate, and satisfy themselves that he is
upon the track as the tool Of ring before
they vote for him.
Elect honest and judieious men to the
council, who are beyond hs43eN0Aoo Of rings,
and who nave me judgment TO discriminate
between ring men and true men.

this vast country formerly went to New
Orleans at cost OF SIS per bale. These
same wagon trains, now supplying st.
Louis with cotton, furnish the whole In

ing establishments in which there Is
employed more han 500 900 (only $4,000

Men refufe to take all the hazards. Thsy
would gladly use their wealth in promo

ployment to m~ultitudes Of impoverished

the present burdens of multifarioUss

enforced by the State and by the
Federal government, deter the most gen

This city and county will cooperate with

iuto the condition OF the city government,

administration Of municipal laws. Onthe
lister point he was satisfied; but when
informed that consolidated taxes of all
sorts in the city amounted 70 more than
four per cent. upon the value of

proposed to 60 beyond the city's confines,
but found that the county and State tax
would absorb too great q share Of possible
profits to be derived from an experiment

and, to the extent Of $40. 600, became q sim-
pie Spectator in Memphis real estate. We
have commerce, q one-legged commerce,

based on one ides; It is cotton-very

THE THIEVES.

Ne shall regard cur system OF govern
ment q failure until the thieves who stole
the $40, OOO. 600 Of bonds from the South,
which we are forced 10 acknowledge as
our Rsdiszl-msde debt, are arrested and
Imprisoned. That Holden of North Caro-
lima, Bullock Of GsOrgis, Scott of South
Carolina, and Davis Of Texas, should be
permitted to 60 st large or abroad, the
Representatives Of party and the tools of

too much. If there Is power in lsw-if

10 the States they 30 foully wronRed
and, having been put on trial, should be
puDished ss thieves usually are. They are
no better than Tweed and his co-partners,
and should be subjected to the same pro-
cess at law as that disgrace to Democracy
and decency, who viii never leave
o'Conor's clutches until they receive their
reward. AS for SEQ mt Davis, we think
that, the Legislatures Of South Carolina
and Texas fasting, the taxpayers Of those
States should have them indicted, and
follow up the persecution In the same
relentless spirit as characterized the
Federal authorities in the prosecution OF
the sO-cslled ku.kluX In South Carolina.
It iE shout time that thievery In
politics was brought to an end.
The people have endured It long
enough; indeed, too long. The inquiry
&c 70 how 3 man In official position, de-
pendent upon 3 small salary, could make
= fortune, is being answered by the inves-
LEGATIONS now going on in New York city,
In South Carolina, Georgia, North Caro-
lima and Texas. The reign Of mere poll
ticisns is, we may reasonably hope, near
ly at an end. We are destined, in q few
years at fsrthest, to come back TO politi-
cal contests, based upon principles vitality
affecting the welfare Of the people, and
