WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Grant has Or
dered the removal of the troops from the
Cherokee neutral lands.
1t is understood that Senator Carpenter
will prepare report upon Louisiana,
which will be an elaboration of the
grounds upon which he objected to the
counting of the vote of that State for
President. --
Yesterdays action seems to have dashed
the hopes of the politicians generally.
The witnesses will get some two hundred

Congressional leaders are studying ma"
chinery by which new election may be
achieved with the least violence to the
Constitution and State rights. In all
probability solutioHwill be forced and
Louisiana will have new election.
The editors and publishers of the news

Considerable interest is manifested here
in the case which has arisen in Lexington,
Kentucky, growing out of the arrests of
citizens, on the charge of refusing negroes
the right to vote. Several parties from
Lexington have visited the Attorney
General, asking to have prominent Cit

defraud negroes of elective rights, thor

have given the matter their attention Off

possible for settlement of the issues in

their way into the Supreme Court, upon
one or several points which will attend the

THE PRICE OF GAS.
What IL CoSis in Over Two Hundred Cities
.E5ft.H0.3 In the United States. ..srt.

| The price Of gas is question that is
daily increasing in magnitude through
| cut the country and in many places the
excessive charges of the gas manufacturers
have created determination on the part
Of consumers to submit no longer to the
extorton practiced upon them. Memphis
lsng labored under the ban of the monop-
dists, but her citizens by a united effort,
c,ippled their power and are now paying
only $3.50 per thousand feet. The coal
fiom which the gas in that city is made
comes from East Tennessee and after trans
porting it three hundred and fifty miles, it
is found renumerative at that price, while
Knoxville consumcrs pay five dollars per
thousand, with coal at our very doors. EL
Many business houses with fixtures al
ready in place have abandoned the use of
gas OH account of the price, and the same
is true of the citizens, who, after going to
great expense in the way of costly fixtures,
have returned to the use of kerosene oil i'm
preference to paying what they deem ex
cessive rates.
We findt tile following 10 one of our cx-
changes which will be read with interest
by gas consumers ~
The gas interest in the United States is
estimated to represent S5,0O0,000, divided
among 26o companies scattered over the
country. There are 265 gas companies in
the United States Is, including Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburgh.
Cincinnati and New York, of which fur
nish the article at lower rates than $3.50
per ], 600 feet. Nineteen companies furnish
it at that rate; that is, $50 per 1000 feet
while the remaining 230 charge higher
rates, indeed, running from $4.00 per 1000
feet to Sl2.O0. Thirty-eight companies
furnish at $500 per 600 feet while twenty
companies charge even higher rates.
The citizens of Easton, Md, pay $1,000
per 1000 feet; Holly Springs, Miss.
Woodstock, Vt; Cold Springs, a.. n. Y.
Fayetteville, n. G., and Middleboro', Mass,
pay $500. The cheapest is that of Pitts
burgf, which is but S1.s5 per 1000 feet.
Tie price of coal in that locality accounts
for this. Philadelphia reduced the price
to $2.25. The increased tax paid by the
people since the reduction may explain
the secret. Cincinnati pays 1922 and

OUR NASHVILLE LETTER,
The TOrbett Issue.
NASHVILLE, Feb. l.

~ NAo II ' iLLcb L Gu 1-'
EDITORS CHRONICLE: To-day there was
quite an exciting scene in the House over
the '"Torbett issue" 1t came up OIL mo-
ton Of Houk, to the effect that the Su-
preme Court be requested 10 suspend all
action with regard to the matter until a
committee could be appointed to look into
it. You are aware that the case is set
for the 18th, and the object is to defer &C
ton for further light. Houk led of in an
able speech of an hours length, during
which he commanded the closest attention
of the House. He was very severe in de-
nouncing this issue, and in holding up to
contempt any effort to hold the State res
sponsible for it. -.
1t seems from the best sources of infOT-
nation that there are about six millions of
dollars in the hands, not of the people,
but of few spectators. In this city
alone something like a million is held by
six men. One man has one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, for which he paid
from two to five cents on the dollar! 1t Is
very hard on the already burdened tax
payers of Tennessee that they should be
required to shoulder this enormous debt
merely to cram the strutted pockets of
set of miserable financial gamblers, who,
like gloated vultures, are incessantly
watching their opportunity to take advan-
tage of the poverty of our people and to
pOunce down upon their meager earnings.
1t is this gang that are hanging around
the capitol of your great State, button
hOling your Representatives. whispering
softly into their ears and using every art
and machination to decoy them into the
prosecution of their schemes. But 1t won't
90. The present Legislature is proof
against their infamous schemes.
The bitterest opposers to the redemption
of this issue are ''rebels''-men who wore
the "grayn and fought manfully for the
"lost cause" They are furious in its de-
nunciation. I heard one of them publicly
remark in a hotel that when he was far
down in "Dixie," fighting the battles of
the tottering confederacy, living hard and
exposed to death in all it's forms, he con-
bett issue" to his suffering and famishlpg
family, with which to buy bread and meat
and no one would take it and thus give re-
lief to distressed family. He said he
would die-repudiate-do anything before
he would suffer himself to be taxed to re-
deem this money, merely for the purpose
Of putting it into the pockets of those who
stayed at home while he was fighting and
his family suffering and who refused to re-
ceive it in payment of "meat bills' for his
wife and helpless children. This is the
way the rebels are talking. It is no party
measure. 1t is not Jumped up" by the
| radicals, as some would suppose. And
reputation is loudly whispered. One
member of the Senate, (rebel), boldly an
nounced that if the Supreme Court declar-
ed the matter Constitutional and thus
forced the State to pay it, then he was for
/ open repatriation. He urged that the peo'
I pie were as much bound to redeem Confed.
crate Treasury notes as this issue. Both
were issued to sustain the sinking Confed'
eracy.6 fG }H ALoNzo DANTE.
