GovERoR ScorT, Of Ohio we believe,
but now resident of South Carolina,
has got tired of the Ku-Klux business
and the presence of Federal soldiers,
and has come to the conclusion that
the people are quiet and well behaved
and he can govern in peace. Along
with this comes the story that he has
recently taken to South Carolina, at
State expense, as immigrants, cargo
of the toughest of New York roughs,
under the lead of the notorious Colonel
CARRIGAN. What he means to do
with them nobody seems to know. As
the election is over they can't be needed
to influence the free suffrages OF the
people; and as, by the Governor ad-
mission, the Ku-Klux farce is played
out, they cannot be intended for loyal
service of that kind. What does 1t
mean?

NEGRO equality is being enforced in
the public schools in Louisiana, negro

equality. How long will it be before

at which our old friend, Colonel SAM
You've, the Senator from Pocahontas,
made a speech. We are glad to sec
that, now that the Colonels "occupa-
tons gone" by reason of the Demo
cratic victory in West Virginia, he has
taken up his saddlebags and gone to
Pennsylvania to preach railroad. The
reporter says:
"The Colonel dwelt at some length
on the mineral advantages this road has
in his section, as its contemplated route
passes through one Of the best iron re-
gions in the United States. He also
showed many other advantages of this
route, such as lumber, cattle, stone, &c,
all of which the West Virginia hills
and valleys produce immense quanti-
ties, and are only waiting for means
of transportation. He also compared the
grade of this road with that OF others,
and showed in the clearest manner this
to be a much easier and cheaper route
to build than many others that are pay
ing good per centage on their capital.
The report that Colonel You've made
of the advantages Of the country
through which the projected road is to
run may be accepted as literally true
Without doubt, the new road will open
up one of the richest mineral regions
in the country and make marketable
some of the finest timber to be found in
the United States. We hope to see the

An act has been passed by Congress
ceding to the State Of Ohio the property
known as the Disabled Soldiers
Home" at Dayton. The sole purpose
of the cession is to permit the inmates
of the Home to vote in State elections.
The fact that they have heretofore been
excluded from voting is the ground Of
of the contested election case in the
Third Congressional District, notwith'
standing the exclusion has been sane
toned by the Supreme Court Of the
State Of Ohio.

The Gas Question.

Editors of the Register:
Before our city authorities rush into
the purchase of the Gas Works, we
hope they will consider the following
queries:
Is there topn or city IN the United
States, whose civil authorities make
their own gas, run gas works? Could
they not, with equal propriety, manu-
facture nails, iron and glass and for
the same reason-because it is profit
able, when well managed.
Is any citizen Of Wheeling compelled
to use gas manufactured by the gas COM
pany?
Will our gas company shut off the
gas from those who notify them that
they wish to use it no longer?
If the city purchase the Gas Works
and 90 into the gas business, who will
be benefited thereby?
Can the city issue bonds without pay
ing them, with INTEREST,"
Will not every taxpayer in the city
have to pay his share of said debt?
Does not this make the taxpayer pay
for gas without getting what he pays
for
Will increased taxation improve this
city?
Can the city make better or cheaper
gas than the gas company?
Can the city run the Gas Works as
cheaply as she can run the Water
Works; or will the assessment of gas
rent or gas tar be at the same general
rates as the water tax?
Why have not other cities, as wise as
ours, purchased their gas works, under
the same conditions presented in the
charter Of the Wheeling Gas Company
Correct answers to the above ques-
tons will greatly oblige

A LIVELY fight is going on between
the LIQUOR dealers in Massachusetts, and
the State constabulary. The constab-
ulary was originally created for the
special purpose of enforcing the prohib-
itory liquor law; but its members soon
found it easier and more profitable to
exact brides from the. dealers than to
to do their duty toward them. At last
the dealers growing weary Of being
blackmailed, got up a legislative investi-
CATION into the conduct Of the constab-
1larv; and in order that they might not
suffer for giving evidence, had resolu-
ton passed protecting witnesses from
molestation on account Of any disclos-
ures they might make Of their own lille
gal acts. The result ofthe investigation
has been to show that the whole con-
stabulary, from the chiet-one Major
Jones-down to the lowest deputy, have
been Systematically levying contrlbu-
tons on the liquor dealers In sums Of
from $40 to So per week, with as many
cigars and as much liquor for their own
consumption as they wanted. The con.
stabulary marked the men who testified
against them, and, by way of revenge,
have seized their liquors, notwlthstand-
ing the shade of legislative protection
supposed to be thrown over them.
Thus 81 ), 900 worth was seized on Thurs
day last, belonging to the firm OF Ralph
Smith & Co., who have been specially
active in promoting the investigation
and $4,000 worth belonging to Martin
d Davis, Mr.. Davis having testified to
paying money to the force. 1t is now
proposed by the committee OF lnvestlga-
ton to suspend the authority of the
constabulary for thirty days, and a OIL
to that effect has been introduced in the
Massachusetts Legislature.

Mr.. Peabods's gifts to the people OF
this country are well known. How
they are managed was made manifest
by the recent report OF the trustees OF
the Peabody fund. In England, his
beouests are also making thousands OF
poor people happy To the poor OF
London, the first gift was seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. There have
been additions to this, until on the first
of January, the whole fund amounted
10 nearly one million Of dollars. Five
groups of buildings have been erected
in different parts Of the metropolis,
which, together, accommodate four hun
dred and ninety-eight families, in tene-
ments OF one, two, and three rooms
each, at a rental of from fifty cents to
one dollar and thirty. five cents week.
The second gift OF one million dollars
came into the hands OF the managers
in July, 1869, and the interest on this
up to January, 1871, was sixty-nine
thousand five hundred and ninety dol
lars. Under this last acquisition to the
fund, there are now being built sixteen
detached blocks of buildings, intended
to accommodate over three hudnred fam
lilies. The average earnings OF the oc-
cupants Of these tenements, it is said,
do not exceed FIVE dollars week. Mr..
Peabody bequeathed an additional
seven hundred and fifty thousand dol,
lars, but it will not be in the control Of
the trustees until 1871.
