THE GAS CONTROVERSY.

We desire to state that the opinions ex
pressed in the communication on the gas
controversy, published in our yesterday
mornings issue, are the opinions of the
writer thereof, the Bulletin taking no sides
in the matter, one way or the other.
The fight as we understand it is between
two corporations. the one endeavOring to
maintain privileges which it has enjoyed ex-
clusively for forty years, and the other, to
obtain similar privileges.
Both parties are represented by counsel
of the highest standing and integrity, and
the question involved is one upon which the
most learned doctors of the law at our bar
disagree. To our mind the parties most in
terested in the issue, are the city and the
gas consumers of New Orleans. The for
mer in getting possession of the works Of
the old company and the latter in obtaining
cheap gas.
The whole subject is now before the
courts for adjudication, and it would seem
to be the interest of all parties concerned to
await calmly the probable speedy solution
of the question rather than to publish con
troversial cards which can only engender
bitter feeling.

Changes In Election OF President.

Some important questions are completely
submerged in Congress. They attract notice
for time, are discussed and examined, and
then sent to a committee, where they sleep
in utter oblivion. One of these is the pre-
posed demolition of the Electoral College,
and the substitution for that cumbrOus ma
chinery of a more reasonable method of
electins President and Vice-President. A
year ago a great deal was said upon this SUBJ
ject, the curious complications growing out
Of Mr.. Greeley's death having attracted at
tentiOn thereto.
The matter has, for long time, been
before a Senate Committee, who, it is
believed, favor the plan formulated by Mr.
Morton, which is to divide the States into
districts similar to the present Congressional
districts, and allow the electors to vote
directly for the candidate for the Offices. As
this plan would deprive the States of their
direct representation, Mr.. Morton proposes
that each State shall be entitled to two ad-
ditional votes. As soon as the Committee
mature a plan, it will be reported to the
Senate. 1t ought to be acted upon by Con-
gress and the States before the Presidential
election in 1876.

CALIFORNIA PROSPECTS.

The San Francisco Chronicle paints the
following bright-hued picture of California;
prospects during the coming year. " In bust
ness, as in nature, the spring forecasts the
year, and judging by present appearances an
unusually favorable year awaits the farmer,
the merchant, the artisan, the miner, and
the manufacturer. The abundant rains Of
winter have almost placed the growing
wheat crops beyond risk or failure. The
area of land sown is everywhere increased,
in some places doubled, and the prospective
yield is estimated at 100000 centals,
worth $60,OOO,0OO The rain has also bene
fitted the miners, and a large increase in the
yield of gold is anticipated. The spring
trade over all portions of the State is open
ing with unusual promise.
The number of country buyers from all
parts of the coast is very large, and the de-
mand for goods in San Francisco is active
beyond precedent. A lively trade III teas
with Chicago, St. Louis and other Eastern
centers has sprung up since the beginning
of the year, and coffees have been sent by
our merchants as far as Pl iladelphia. Even
rood. The quantity of salmon packed this
season will be fifty per cent. ahead of last
year, and the manufacture of case goods for
the English and Eastern markets will show
a similar development. The manufacture of
boots and shoes will be much larger than last
year, and many new enterprises, including
a factory for the production of rubber goods,
are about being started. Everywhere new
buildings are springing up, and are being
rented us fast as completed. Money is
abundant our import and export trade is
large and furnishing, and everything fore
casts a year of plenty and and prosperity"

A QUEER CALCULATION.

Let no boy be disheartened by the follow
ing calculation, but remember that untiring
industry will enable him to come out victor
in the end. Say that the boy is ten years
old and is taxi en- up into a high mountain,
or respectable HILL perhaps, will do as well,
and shown the various articles he will have
to consume should he live an average lite
time. Surrounded with these objects, he
sees first 30 oxen, then 200 sheep, 100 calves,
200 lambs, so pigs, 1900 chickens, 300
turkeys, 263 pigeons, lao pounds salmon,
100 pounds of other fish, 80, 900 oysters, SAB
pounds vegetables, 2434 pounds butter,
$4,000 eggs, ~ tons bread, 5000 gallons tea
and coffee, besides tons Of fruit, barrels Of
sweetmeats, and hogsheads of wine.
These arc the figures given by Mr.. Soyer,
tho cook Of the London Reform Club, in his
book, The Modern Housewife" as the
amount consumed by each individual in
lifetime, and they are said to be below,
rather than above, the real quantity. OF
course the food may be varied, but what is
taken off from one kind must he added to
some other. The boy may seriously appre-
bend that his jaws and stomach will give
out before he has disposed of this vast
quantity of food, but he will take courage
when he casts his eye over the sleek folm of
one in middle life who mas we'll nigh accom-
plished his task without showing the least
sign of WEAKNESS. Many man has dis
posed of his allotment, and is apparently
ready for another job of equal magnitude,
and thus will it DO with the race until the
end If time
