The members of Select Council are appa-
rently unable to see the proposed loan of half
a million dollars in exactly the same light
that the Gas Trustees do, and the ordinance
to impose this additional burden upon the
taxpayers of Philadelphia fails to receive
very enthusiastic support. 1t came up for
consideration at the meeting yesterday, and
was postponed after some discussion, the
advocates for the loan being able to say little
in favor of it except that there would pro-
badly be an insufficient supply of gas and
great inconvenience to citizens if the money
were not forthcoming. Mr. King, who vigor-
ously opposed the creation of the loan, hit
the nail square on the head when he said
that ''it was impudent for the Gas Trustees
to take matters in their own hands and
create additional expenses to the city without
consulting Councils" The action of the
Gas Trustees in demolishing the Market street
works without obtaining the sanction of the
representatives of the people, and in demand
ing half million dollars to rebuild them
without giving any specifications or estimates
to show how the money is to be expended, is
not only impudent but it is scandalous out.
rage upon every taxpayer of Philadelphia.
1t is bad enough for our citizens to be
obliged to pay enormous bills for such indif-
ferent gas as is furnished by the trustees,
without being also compelled to bear the ex-
pense of new works, over which they will
have no control, to be erected whenever and
wherever the trustees may choose, in place
of those needlessly and wantonly de-
stroyed The destruction of the Mar
ket streets works was an outrage,
whether the trustees had any legal authority
in the premises or not. It is extremely
doubtful, however, whether they have not
greatly exceeded their powers, and instead of
voting them the $500, 600 asked for, Councils
would serve the public much better by insti-
tuting legal proceedings to test the right of
the trustees to act as they have done, and
see whether they cannot be held responsible
for the gross violation of the trust confded
to them. The present certainly appears to be
a favorable opportunity to curtail the author
ity of the Gas Trustees, and to teach them
that they are theservants and not the masters
of the people. If the members of Select
Council who really have the public interest
at heart will act with decision in
this matter, by not only refusing
to pass the loan bill, but by endeavoring
to make the trustees answer in court for their
misdeeds, they will confer a service upon the
taxpayers of Philadelphia which will entitle
them to hearty thanks. Whether any action
against them is taken or not, however, deter
mined effort should be made to defeat the
loan bill If this is done the trustees will
be obliged to bear the brunt of the public
indignation that will be excited if there is
deficiency in the gas supply next winter, and
an important step will be taken for the ami
hilation of the gas ring which has for SO many
years defed public opinioa. se n

POPULAR OPINION.

Among the worst abused men in
America in past years, Judge Bar
nard, of the Supreme Court of New
York, has held a foremost position.
Every epithet rich in opprobrium,
which Republican ingenuity can pos
sibly frame, has been used up for
his benefit. Now, 10 the change !!
Presto, Barnard is nominated for the
same position by the men who have
been denouncing him as a villain for
years That the Democrats should
re-nominate him is not surprising.
He has shown independence and
nerve during the late Investigations,
and during all these years of villiti-
cation apparently has been as honest
and able as during the last month.
Of curse he will be reelected by
an overwhelming vote, even if he
should have any opposition what
ever. We refer to him now only as
passing illustration of the uncertain
ties of a politicians career, and the
instability of popular opinion. The
hero of to-day is the victim of to-
morrow, and the cruciied of the
evening rises afresh and renewed
with the morning.

AN UNIFORM TICKET.-With singu-
Jar consistency the Sacramento Union
draws a moral from the Vallejo paste
BOARD, solid ticket, and expresses itself
favorable to a uniform ticket, and vet
ii the same article commends the use
of the ticket at the Navy Yard at Val
.ejo. II seems to have an idea that
tie Navy Yard had to be carried some
aow, and that it did nOt make much
difference how SO long as it was done.
i this riIlainous p~asteboard ticket
was 4 good thing for the workmen at
Vallejo, why not use one OF that or
similar sort at the Sacramento Capitol
building? We agree with the conclu-
,ion of the Union, as to a uniform
.:cket, believing that the present sys-
tem is traught with tyranny and in
Justice, and that i statute should pro-
vide for one uniform ticket at each
election, and for no other.

BEET SUGAR.-The Alta gives some
figures in relation to the sacharine mat
ter found in the beets cultivated by
the Alverado Beet Sugar Company.
The estimated amount of sugar ia the
beets raised this year is eight per
cent. and umO has it in some cases
it went up to fifteen per cent. This is
a large yield. The sugar in the beet
in France and Germany rarely OK
cceds five and a half per cent, and Is
oftener below hat figure than above.
The AIvarado company has five hun
dred acres of beets this year, which is
calculated to yield l,l25,000 pounds Of
sugar. The beet harvest Is just COM
mencing, and the Alvarad0 mill will
start up on Thursday to manufacture
sugar from this years crop of bees.

REAL ESTATE AND MONEY IN SAN
FRANCISCO.

The Real Estate Circular for Octo-
Der insists that the real estate market
in San Francisco has not improved
since the City Hall sale. Neither
the volume of sales nor the prices
paid last month, exhibit any i'm
provement. 1t doubts whether there
can be any increase before Spring.
The lumber market is dull, and
no Improvement need be expected
until the Fall rains set in. The
present prices, however, are likely
to be maintained.
In money matters the demand
during September was light. The
Hibernia Bank is loaning money at
per cent. on city property. AT the
San Francisco Savings Union money
is plenty and the demand moderate.
The rates of interest charged there
are 9 to 10 per cent. on city, and II
to II per cent. on country property.
There is quite a demand for country
loans.
The Circular says:
James Lick has at last arranged his
loan of 500, 900 at S per cent. He got
an extension of it, from n of our
Savings Banks, at the reduced rate
named. James Phelan offered to ac-
cOulinodate him at s per cent, but As
he had made the arrangement with
the Savings Bank, he declined. Peter
DOnahue Is indebted to Phelan $4,000
or 100000, on his purchase Of the Ma
tlOnal Gold Bank stock. He pays only
5 per cent. interest on the money.
1t may not be generally known that
the President of a Los Angeles bank
first caused the reduction of the rate
of interest on real estate here to 9 per
cent. per mum. He offered 500, 900
to = Director of one OF our Saving,
Banks at that rate, which offer, com
hined with the large amOun of idle
money the bank had then on hand.

policy of a reduction hat day, and

Fifty Thousand Dollar Suit.
The St. Louis Democrat of Wednesday
says:
A fifty thousand dollar suit, now pro-
crossing in the United States Circuit Court.
is exciting much interest in legal circles.
About three years ago Perry Fuller. Col
lectOr of Customs in New Orleans, shipped
q large quantity of goods to this city. in the
care of William Hays. 1t seems that Mr..
Fuller had had some financial trouble, and.
indeed, it was intimated at the time that
the manner in which he had obtained the
goods was not altogether ION the square"
Under the impression that there was some
thing wrong in the transaction, the United
States authorities caused the goods to be
seized here by the sheriff. They were val
ued at twenty-five thousand dollars, and
before the seizure could be made, the officer
was obliged to give bond for double the
value of the merchandise. The securities
were E. ID. Jones and George H. Rea. The
goods were sold, and the matter rested for
a year or two. when suit was brought
against George H. Rea, one Of the sheritf"s
bOndsmen, for $5O,OOO, one-half OF which
was claimed for the goods, and the other
half for damage sustained by what is termed
the illegal seizure.
An excellent array of legal talent is en-
gagged on both sides, the attorneys for the
plaintiffs being Sharp & BrOadhead and
Samuel Holiday, of this city, Nelson, Of
New Work, and Daniel VOOrhics, of Indiana.
Opposed to them are Hon. John B. Hender-
son, Hon. Enos Clarke, and Judge Daniel
Dillon. The arguments will probably oc-
cupy the greater portion of the week.
New Orleans Republican., 1871-10-07

In reply to a paragraph in Customhouse
organ printed in the country, that the editor
of that organ was not fighting the man, but
his dangerous policy, the Empire Parish
Register says:
1t is all bosh to talk about Warmoth's
policy being dangerous policy" His
policy has been that Of the State. His
actions as the executive have been a Re-
publican administration of the affairs of
the State; and to say that those actions
constitute dangerous policy" is to
arraisn the Republican party itself. The
power which the Governor has as the
executive Of the State, was given him by
the unanimous voice of the Republican
m iiority OF two Legislatures; and because
he holds and exercises this delegated power
in manner and direction as prescribed. no
Republican, without fragrant qualification,
can assail him, and charge that such power
is chs dangerous policy 1t is this power
which Casey, Packard, and Lowell are in
pursuit of. In their effort to strike down
Warmoth, they have no intention to destroy
the power with which the gubernatorial
office has been entrusted by the laws of the
State. They want that to live: for, if they
succeed in mounting the gubernatorial
throne, they do not wish to clutch barren
SceDtrp.
