HEnEf3 tn THE FR0NT

Ia6 bfl1an aud denhnt manner IN WHICH
tho old Robel element Of tho South, aided
and encouraged by the attitulo of the Cop
perhead Democracy Of the North, is coming
to tho front in this campaign, is one Of its
most significant features, aud appenls
with startling force to the loyal aep-
timont Of the North not to slumber any
longer, but to prepare itself for emergencies
Of the contest. The 1oyd people Of this
country must understand TINT they have to
meet the spirit Of Rebellion at tho ballot-box
in 1876 rs they met it in tie battlefield dur
the War, and must 60 into the fight in No
vember with that understanding, If they e1-
peot to conquer, That We ars not overstat-
ing tho alarming danger Of tho situation
may be shown by reference to Democratic
authorities. In North Carolina, IKBu1ox
VANCE was nominated because he was the Rebel
Governor of tha. State, and the most bitter
aud relentless socessionist in tha whole
South. The Raleigh Sentinel says: "Eyi-
IDENTIFY it needs Democratic Administration
in the South to keep negro in lis proper
place." The Wadesborough Herald says:
"Niggcrs belong in the cotton and rice,
tobacco and corn fields-not in political con-
ventions, in Legislatures, nor on juries." In
South Carolina the Democracy. altar indors-
ing Gov. CHAMBERLAIN for his impartial and
loyal Administration, turned round and
nominated WADa HAMPTON, because he had
beon a Nebel officer, and because of his
record in the Rebellion. Under his leader
ship the Democrats of that 8tatc have alroady
commenced tho plan Of intimidation that has
worked so well In Mississippi, their work
having begun recently with tho slaughter
of defenselesa negroes ut Hamburg. In
Georgia tho same spirit prsvaila, and
brute force is rolled upon TO carry the elce-
ton, A Gsorgia paper says: "Tho truth Is
that tho South acted for horaolf in the nut
ter Of the War. Instead Of being urged
to 1t by the Northern Democracy, shc hap
rened just then to be running tho Northern
Democracy herself" And it might havo
! added with .equal truth, sis running it
now" The Macon Telegraph says: +Nover

TIE CITY AND THE GAS COMPANIES,

Tho Common Council brought the gas
question to crisis by ita action Oh Monday
night. The resolution passed by the Coun-
ell, and which tho Mayor will unquestion-
ably approve, mikes the distinct and direct
issue, viz: that unlePs the Gas Companies ut
once contract to furnish gas to tho city ct
$1.5 per 1000 feet, then all existing con.
tracts be discontinued, and TINT the city
make Immediate arrangements for lighting
tho streets and public Offices with oil. It Is
now for tho Gas Companies to act. The
vote in tho Council was sufficiently emphatic
-yeaa, %; nays, Ito leave no doubt that
the city will not yield. Tho Gus Companies
must now determine ~ whether they can
afford to furnish gas at $1.60 por 1000
feet, and (o) whether thoy will do SO
until next April, with certainty that
noxt year the samo prico and no more
will bo paids Tho Gus Companies know
their own business, and can tell in one hour
whether they can or will accept tho terms
offered. 4 compliance with these terms
until April next or discontinuanco Of gas
for the city service Is now necessity. This
is no time for negotiation, or for the dis
cushion of other terms or other arrange
ments The adoption Of oil in the street.
lamps Of the Weat Division will furnish, a
test not only as to tho difference in cost Of
tho service but in tho value of the light.
Street lamp-posts may be duplicated for tho
use Of oil, and two oil lights may be put
where there is now but one gns light, aud
tho cost of the Duplicated sorvice will not
exceed one-third Of the present price Of gas.
Having once tested the economy mud the
snfticicncy of tho oil service, the Gus
Companies will find 1t moro difficult
than over to Induce the city to pay an ex-
trayagant price for gas. Let the Gus Com
pauies consider the financial condition OF tho
city, md Of its inability to pay at ell; lot
them act magnani1nous]y and furnish tho city
with tho eas at the price mined. and. having

back upon tho letter. Of thoir questionable
contracts, havs been brought faco to face
with the impcrious demand Of An indignant
community. It Is now gas at $1.50 per
1000 feet or oil, and To that the Gas compa.
mics mnat yield, despite their monopoly and
their supposed contracts.
