HORACE MAYNARD FOR SrEAKER OF THE
HOUSE uf RrfREsEETATlyEs.-ln letter to
the New York Times Senator Parson)
Brownlow says:
"Any description of the contest in Ten
nessee would be incomplete without refer
ence to the canvass Of Horace Maynard with
eX-President johnson. The yigor and ability
with which Maynard met Andrew johnson,
and indicated the principles of the Repub-
lican party and the Administration of Gene
raj Grant, have never been equalled in any
canvass in Tennessee. 1t has been great
while since southern man was Speaker of
the National House of Representatives, and
the southern Republicans will, in all proba-
bility, put forward Horace Maynard rs their
candidate. His great ability, familiarity with
parliamentary law, and services rendered the
party, eihinently qualify him for the speaker.
ship, and Iii the opinion Of his friends, give
him claims to that high position"

In regard to the meeting, the danger was va,
that the Council would be too large, and II
was therefore proposed to divide the meet lee

residents Of both cities would have abundan,

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher followed
with brief address, in which he vivldIy

opportunity would be to manifest to the Eu

The devotional services of the meeting were
conducted by the Rev. Drs. storrs, Budlhs

ALLEGED BRIBERY IN THE PHILADELPHIA
Cry CoUsclLs.-The Philadelphia papers
give particulars of the developments III re-
gard to the "rng" corruptions in the CITY
Councils mentioned by telegraph hereto
fore, During meeting of tile City Council
Chamber of Philadelphia on the Both OF DC
tober, MIR. Thomas Fl. Gill, Democratic
member of the Council from the Eleventh
Ward, stated that he had been offered by
member of the Council $3.50 to vote for a bill
in the Interest of wooden payements. Mr.
Gill, upon general call for the name of the
member, mentioned Mr.. S. G. Young, of the
Fourth Ward. Mr.. Young Indignantly de-
MED the charge, and committee was Mt
once appointed to Investigate it. The conn
mittee met on Tuesday afternoon, when
Mr.. Gill appeared rs Il witness, who testl-
fed that, Mr.. Young and himself being Oh
the same committee, Mr.. Young approached
him and asked bim how he was OH the
wooden-pavement question, adding that lie
was authorized to pay $3.50 for votes for the
scheme. Mr.. Gill states he tcinporized with
Young, intending TO use him, but with no
idea of accepting the bride. This offer was
made in 1871. Mr.. Voting, under oath, de-
MES these allegations. Mr.. Logan, also, who
was q member of Council in 1870 and 1871,
appeared and testified that he was offered Il
certain amount of money to vote for the
woodeil-pavement bill by Mr.. Rowan, menl-
Der of Council from the Twenty-Seventh
Ward.
Other testimony was introduced of the
fact that Mr.. Young made earnest appeals to
members of Council not to press the invests
cation. Among the more important dis
closures is the fact that one OF The parties
who was striving for wood pavement on
Brtad street would have had clear hundred
thousand dollars to "divide" among his
friends if he should get the contract.
The Philadelphia Ledger, upon this sub
ject, suys: "It has, perhaps, escaped the
memory of some Of our readers thas at the
time when this precious conspiracy against
the public purse was going on, i'll 1871, Il
loan ordinance for sj00,Oc0 for wooden
pavement OIL Broad street was worked
through Common Council by the necessary
vote OF two-thirds IF all the members. This
was under the HUM dynasty the surviving
members of which seem TO he upon the eve
of returning to power In Common Council
with the new year."
The committee meets again on next Tues
day.

A Chapter on Gas.

"New York, says writer, burns about
1900, 900, 900 cubic feet Of gas per annum,
Chicago 40Q, 900, 900, St. Louis ESQ, 00O,-
900, Cincinnati a0O,0O0,000, Pittsburg
200,0O0,0OO, San Francisco $50, 900, COO,
and Baltimore 100000 00."
Chow do they make gas ?"
First they put about two bushels OF
bituminous coal in long air-tight iron
retort. This retort is heated red hot,
and, of course, the coal is heated, red
hot, when the gas bursts out of it as you
see it burst out Of Jumps of soft coal
when on the parlor fire. The gas passes
off through pir es. A ton of coal will
make 10000 cubic feet of gas. The gas
as it leaves the coal is very impure
"How do they purify it ?"
"First, while hot, it is run off into
another building, then ii is forced through
long perpendicular pipes, surrounded
with cold water. This eools the gas,
when good deal of tar condenses from
it and runs down to the bottom of the
perpendicular pipes. This tar is the
ordinary tar which you see boiling in
the streets for walks and roofs.
"They now wash the gas. They call
II scrubbing it.
"This is done by filling large vessel,
which looks like a perpendicular steam
boiler, half full OF wood laid crossways.
Then ten thousand streams of cold
Croton water are spurted through this
boilor. Through the mist and rain, and
between the wet sticks of wood, the gas
passes coming out washed and clcansed.
The ammonia condenses, joins the water,
and falls to the bottom"
"What next ?"
DWELL, next the gas is purified. 1t is
passed through watts Of lime and oxyde
Of iron, which takes out the carbonic
acid, sulphurated hydrogen, and ammo
MIA"
"What next ?"
"The gas is now pure. 1t is passed
Though the big station metre, then
through the mains and pipes, till it
reaches the gas jet in your room. Then
it burns, while you all scold because it
don't burn better"

THE SKEPTICAL CONVINCED. Every advance
in Medicine, every new remedy has encoun-
tered an opposition, which is the test of truth.
Galen and Jenner only were believed when
they had proved their discoveries against
opposition. But men are observing and
benefits always make believers. No incredulity
can stand the silent argument fgood results
When DR.. Walker proclaimed that he had
produced from the medicinal herbs of Cali
fornia an Elixir that would regenerate the
sinking system and cure di,eascs not organic,
the ncredulous shook their heads. Yet his
VINEGAR BnTERs is now the Standard Restora-
tive of the Western World. The truth could
not be resisted. Under the operation of the
new remedy, Dyspeptics regained their health,
appetite and strength, the Bilious and Consti-
pnted were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom; the Censumptive and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered; Intermittent and Remittent
Fevers were broken up; the faint of Scrofula
was eradicated Who could gainsay facts
like these? Not even the Faculty. Skepti-
cism was routed All doubtsas to the claims
of the Btters to the first place in the first rank
of modern medicines were silenced, and this
wonderful preparation is to-day the most
popular Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depu-
rent ever advertised in America In common
with other journalists we are free to add our
testimony to this remedy 1t is domestic
medicine, and no household should be with
out it.-[Com.
