New York Ncns says: The recent
careful test of a gas meter proved to
the satisfaction of all the parties con-
cerned, that it was found to over cal
culate the consumption of gas six per
cent. There was no reason, Judging
from the mere casual inspection of
that one particular meter, to suppose
it was more defective and untrust-
worthy than the thousands of similar
agencies employed in arriving at an
estimate of the amount of gas con-
sumed by those who are furnished
with them by the gas companies.

VESTS RELEASE. has been stated
that DIR. Isaac G. West will be liber-

the case. The circumstances are as
follows: On the Goth of Oct. 1878, he
was sentenced to imprisonment for
two years, ending on the 2Sth of Oct.
1875; also, he was to pay fine Of $500
or remain in Jail until legally dis

under the law, will expire on the 9th
inst, but the order of the court was,
and so it stands on the docket of the
Clerk of the Peace, that he is to DO
discharged on the I'd of February.

ANOTHER CARPEr-DAGGLR ZEN
att POSED. .

The Immaculate West, Senator from
Louisiana, is now openly and directly
charged with forgery. This distin-
guished Republican and carpet-bagger,
it seems, figured in California before
the var AS book.keeper in the CONNER
cial house of Dewitt, Harrison n Co.
Being sportlvely inclined, West had
frequent and suRdrY tpssles with the
"liger" and coming out severely
worsted, was persistently pushed for
the payment Of his losses. In this
crisis of his affairs the happy thought
suggested itself to him of forging his
employers names to various checks,
which he accordingly did, thereby rails
ing sufficient funds to liquidate his
account with the faro bank. West
was relieved aud sported along gaily
for while until rumors of his villiany
began to sound In his ears. Fearing
lest he would be detected and con
victed, he prevailed upon several
sporting characters for loan OF sutli-
Gent funds to redeem the forged notes,
and finally succeeded in doing SO
through the assistance of one DR..
Parker. This borrowed money West
failed to repay until elected U. S. Sen
ator, and only did SO then under fear
of threatened exposure. A distin-
guished ex-Judge of the Supreme
Court, of California, in whose hands
as an attorney, the party from whom
West borrowed funds had placed the
forged checks, yet retains these evil
dences of Vests infamy.
, The Senate is now called upon to say
whether West ~ tit person to re-
main in that distinguished assembly.
If Louisiana can rid herself of THO
heightened forger, there may be some
hope for her redemption.
