A Stigma Upon the Administrations
An Officer Who Dared DO His

Mr.. Nathan Sargent, Commissioner
Of Customs, who has just resigned that
position, has been for many wears in
the service of the government. Though
he has been "A iaitful public servant tits
said that he has become superannuated.
The immediate reason Of his resignation
is attributed to his opposition to the
claim OF a Senator for extra compensa-
ton under acts Of Congress. According
to an old law, passed nearly quarter
of a century ago, naval officers were
entitled to extra compensation in certain
cases. The last Congress passed bill
author zing such payment to be made

" Vice President OF the United States,
and afterwards Naval Officer at Boston,

his account to the Commissioners of
Customs. who felt authorized to disallow
it. Senator Hamln insisted tha; he
should have his money and Mr.. Sar-
gent persisted in refusing to authorize
the payment Hamlin complained to
the Secretary Of the Treasury and the
President, representing that Sargent was
an old man and no longer qualified for
the position he has occupied. The re-
suit of the whole matter is that Mr.
Sargent has been compelled to resign
and Senator IIamlin has pocketed his ex-
ira compensation, but upon whose au-
thority has not transpired. Mr.. Sar-
gents resignation has been accepted,
but, as Mr.. Douglass, Deputy Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue, declined
the place, the successor OF M. Sar-
gent has vet been appointed.

NATURAL GAS.
The Bloomfield Welt and Prospects
OF Bringing Gas TO Rochester.


A correspondent OF the Buffalo Courier
writes that he has recently visited Ere
donia and Erie, Pa, and aseertalned
that at the former place natural gas has
been used twenty-eight years, with an
increase Of the quantity supplied from
the rocks from time to time while at
Erie this gas is used for illumination,
heating and propelling machinery, to a
large extent. Being in pursuit OF in
formation relative 10 the production and
use of the natural gas, the correspond
ent proceeded to West Bloomfield to
see the great gas well which has excited
the curiosity and wonder Of the people
for wears. Of what he saw there, he
SAYS:
"I was surprised astonshed; and |
no longer doubt the capacity OF this
we'll TO light the cities and villages OF
Western New York. Nv first thought
was that to the seven wonders of the
world should be added one more-the
West Bloomfield gas well. The capa-
CITY OF this well is equal to the supply
of five such cities as Rochester. All
the tests made by steam gauge, water
pressure and actual measurement prove
this statement TO be correct The
various tests were made by Prof Henry
Wurtz, Of New York; Prof Lattimore,
of the Rochester University George
w. Parsons, Superintendent Of
the Rochester City Gaslight Com
pany, and Prof. Calender, editor Of
the american GasFgM Journal. The
Illuminating power Of the gas as it is
sues from the well equals fourteen can
dies, and if purified, at slight expense,
sixteen candles-better than any manu-
factured gas There is nothing disa-
greeable and unhealthy about it; the
quantity and quality are perfectly uni
form, as has been proved 10y tests made
every hour for twenty four-hours The
changes in the weather or the seasons
makes no difference with it. The pres.
sure at the well is eqal to IS feet water
pressure or Is pounds to the square
inch steam pressure. The well is but
6O4 feet deep, and the fssure from
which the gas flows is 400 feet deep.
The well has flowed for five years, but
gas has escaped ever since the earliest
inhabitants can remember. The pipes
have been laid about seven miles. The
work will be pushed with all vigor, and
its completion can be looked for this
season, | am assured. The company is
a strong one, and has brains, money
and faith. To conclude, guess we are
to have a new era in gas, in which the
natural will be substituted for the man
ufactured. | am reliably informed
that no gas well has ever been known TO
fail. How wonderful are the works OF
nature"

In his late message to the Legislature
of Illinois, Governor PALMER calls the
attention OF the members to the necessi-
ty of abolishing the fee system, with
reference to the compensation Of public
officers, and substituting fixed salaries
in its place. The Governor proposes to
do away with fees altogether, and in or
der that salaries shall not be a tax on the
whole people. = system OF stamps resem-
bling that of the internal revenue is sug.
gested. By this means, fund would be
created from which all salaries could be
paid, and the costs Of legal proceedings
made less burdensome. The question is
highly important and will. doubtless, re-
ceive the careful attention OF the Legis-
lature.
