This is from New York dispatches to the
Chicago Tribune:
Amid the general cutlery which existed
some years since against the gas mOnopOlies
OF New York, certain irresponsible men,
headed by one John Place. succeeded in
getting a bill through the Legislature in
cooperating the Mutual Gas Savings Com
pany. 1t was represented that the new
company would unite with the consumers
for the overthrow of burdensOme monop-
olies, and with tins understanding the
Common Council passed an ordinance Civ
ing the organization the right to lay pipe in
the upper part of the city. For a long time
nothing was heard of the enterprise. az no
funds could be raised. no one placing sutfi-
Gent confidence in the founders to take
stock in their project. At length, in the
fall Of 1870, it was rumOred that COmmo-
dOre Vanderbilt had sold to the company
the block between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets, called Webb's ship yard, for $780,
OOO, receiving in payment 81 600, 900 in st ok
The agreement was that Vanderbilt
should withhold the conveyance until the
stock should advance sufficiently to enable
him to realize 100000 upon his invest
ment. As the public still held alOOf from
the scheme, the capital stock was swe!led
to $4,000, OG0. One-fourth Of which amount
was distributed among Tweed, Sweeney,
Connolly, and other ring men, who were
taken into the company. This furnished
the desired bait, and the stock sold readily
till it reached the nominal amount of sew
enty cents on the dollar. Vanderbilt sold
$500, 900 OF his stock, and the company re-
ceived deed Of the property. Tweed,
Sweeney and Connolly disposed of their
stock, making enormous sums. The in
OF the company had now be-
come independently rich. and, instead of
with the old companies, they en-
deavored to force them to sell out a district.
Of which the new company should have ex-
elusive control, that monopoly might thus
be established. This plan tho old COM
oanies refused to accede to, and here the
natter rests. The public. of course, gets
10 benefits from the scheme, the foolish |
'peculators are robbed, and the ring has
he profit.

The st. Louis Republican of Saturday
has the following special dispatch:

fore another storm. The people now are
so indignant that they approve in the field

5. }. Tilden, Havemeyer, William A. Booth,
Commodore Stevens, H. b. Claflin, Judge
Barrett, William Coburn, have more power
to-day in the municipal counsels than the
constituted authorities. While the people
approve OF their doings. there are numer-
GUS thinking men who shake their heads at
the precedent now establishing here of VOL
unteer committees stepping into the regular
departments. slowly assuming legal powers,
and ultimately overriding all constituted
authorities.
While the crisis is acknowledged to be
urgent, the experiment nevertheless is con-
sidered dangerous. and some capitalists
now have really more fear of the future
than when first the revelations in regard to
Tammany were made.
Others can not be induced to resign, and
the revelations ut the police courts in re-
gard to the stolen vouchers only make them
more obstinate in holding on to their places.
While in Office they inspire fear in tile men

anything else which to-day is feared by the
