AIr. B1n11sos, President Of the Wost Sido
Gas Company, disputes the position taken
by the Common Council, and backed by the
opinion of the Corporation Counsel, TINT the
city ia not bound by tho contract Of 1860,
covering poriod of ten ycara, and honce
disputes tho right Of the city to ccaso taking
gas altogether mud substitute oil In tho
street-lamps. It Is held by tho Inv Depart
ment TINT the Common Council of 1859 had
no power to execute q contract binding its
successors for ten years as to tho price to bo
raid for gas, md this position will doubtless
be maintained by tho present Council in spite
of AIr. B1LL1Nas' threat to 60 to law abont it.
Ills oiIor to furnish tho city with gaaat So a5
per 600 cubic feet is In the nature Of a
compromise, but, as this figure is 75 cont, in
excess Of that agreed upon by The Commit
tee on Gas, tho proposition is not likely to
meet with favor In tho Council.

THE ELECTORAL VOTES.
Carl schurz's Plan for Remedying ths
Present Officially.


ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.-Senator Carl Schulz John
B. Henderson, and other prominent men of this
city, have forwarded letter to the President
of the United States Senate, relative to the
counting of the electoral vote, with request
that he lay it before the Senate. Ihey say the
present condition of the country calls for some
action which shall settle the political dispute
tude. The clause in the constitution respecting
the cauvassing of the electoral vote is quoted,
and pronounced indefinite, and liable to di-
verse constructions. The attempt to canvass
the vote in joint session of Congress is depre-
Gated as certain to RAISE partisan issues and de-
velope strife which may prove most disastrous
to the country TIE letter then proposes as
remedy that the whole matter shall be trans
ferred to the Supreme Court OF the United
States, as that is the only tribunal from whicn
a fair and impartial decision, one whlcn Will
satisfy the whole people, can be obtained. 10
effect this, the letter proposes that the Two
houses shall improve the three weeks preced-
ing Christmas, in framing and agreeing upon
constitutional amendment, placing IN the Su-
preme Court the duty of canvassing electoral
votes; and that the State legislatures meet i'm
mediately after the holidays, when the amend
ment could be submitted. The letter holds to
the opinion that the amendment would be rati-
fed without dolay, so that it could be made q
part OF the constitution, and apply to the pres
emit election. Both the Presidential candidates,
1t is urged, would recognize the wisdom OF thlS
course, and both the Republican and Demo-
cratic legislatures would ratify it. The letter
dwells at length on the wisdom of removing
this inn Ortant matter from tribunal likely to
be affected by partisan considerations.
Doubtful Rumor CONCERNING n Massachu-
sefts Elect0r.
NEW YORK, Dec. Gen. Sickles in an in
terview, says he learns from trustworthy
sources that there is possibility of one of the
most honored names on the Massachusetts cleo
toral ticket being given to Tilden when the vota
is cast, thus electing the latter even if he loses
all the contested states. Any one man in the
electoral college has it in his power to place the
Democratic party in power if he so chooses,
and the person referred to by Sickles may
change his vote on the ground of duty to his
country,
