show that several democratic precincts were
omitted from that return, and q false result

created great excitement. The democrats Of
fered proof that the alleged affidavit from
Green K Moore. purporting TO deny certain
facts in another affidavit he had made was
dated and executed on the 10Th, while the affi-
davit that he proposed to retract and correct
was dated and executed on the I'D. They
then pronounced the affidavit purporting 10
then introduced Moore and Dukes as wit
nesses. Moore swOre specifically that all the
points in his affidavit of the ed were true;
that he had stated the facts therein contained
openly time and again; that he was an in
spector at Archer, and that only 3l6 votes
were east or counted that 525 votes were not
cast that he signed the election certificate in
blank, not thinking there could be any dis
pute: that he was approached the other day
by Barnes. the republican sheriff of the coun-

paper; he asked if he had 10 swear to il: he
was told that he had not, and he then signed
and received the money; the paper was the
one produced i'm court as "a counter affidavit.
Floyd Dukes (colOred) swOre that he was in
spectOr at Archer precinct; that only $40 votes
were cast: that no more votes were cast: that
he can't read nor write, and that he never
signed paper saying that SIS votes were

swOre that he did not sign; that ex- Congress

to the fact that in the affidavits from several
hundred negroes swearing that they voted at
Archer precinct eleven names appear in two
places, two names i'm three places, twonames
of men long since dead, and two names of
men proven TO have voted elsewhere.
The republicans submitted objections TO
two precincts in Columbia county, alleging
that the democratic inspector industriously
changed ballots when they were handed him.
and that negroes were taken by three demo
Gratis into the swamp a week before the cleo
ton, and, after various outrageS were made
to swear on their knees that they would vote

Superior Court for a mandamus to compel
the board to reverse it's decision and admit
the applicant. 1t was made a test case, and

decided that the board for admitting electors

THERE were some remarkable features
about the Mississippi election. One Of
them was the success d q white Demo-
crat over colored Republican in me-
gro Congressional district, which, at the
same time, gave majority for Hayes
Another il that, in tho six counties Of
Amite, Lowndes, Madison, Tallahatchie,
Warren and YaEoo, the Republican vote
has sunk from 1904 in 1872 to7l4-
Tallahatchie casting but ! for Hayes to

2,433, and Madison 10 against S,2l7-
while the Democratic vote has increased
from 4,477 10 1851. Tho singulaEity Of
these figures is increased by the fact that

cd. In the pRrlanOe Of tho street, the tiEAe
has come to give US rest" 1t must be
remembered that the great bulk ofpres'
cnt consumers Of gas are those who
escaped out Of bondage TO the old gas
company, to whom they paid tribute for
years, as they didto the city for a season,
at the rate Of So 50 per thousand. A
very small minority only Of cohsurn-
era have had the advantage Of the pres
sent reduced rate from the outset. The
latter have come into the enjoyment Of
This rate at the expense Of The old over
taxed consumers. This iS q considera-
ton that should have weigh. these hard
times on the side Of a further reduction
IN tho price.
There is an other point that should not
escape attention in this copnectiOn, and
that ia the fact that the rate at which gas
is being furnished 10 the city lamps is a
discrimination against and an imposition
upon the large consumers Of tho city
The rate is now about S12 per lamp. In
other citiesIr varies from. $25 to $35 per
lamp. II should DO s25 in Wheeling
This would lift part Of the burthen of the
large consumers and put it upon the gen.
ersI public where itbelongs. The streets
are lighted for the benefit OF all classes
for those who use much or little OF the
gas as private consumers, even for those
who do no. use It at sll. The street lamps
therefore are properly not a legitimate
charge upon the gas consumers OF the
city, but upon the general sources OF rev.
nue., such as the real estate, personal
property,anl poll taxes. Instead, howev'
er, Of being paid for at the public expense
they are exclusively paid for by the gas
consumer, aud mainly by the large con-
sumcrs, those upon whom already resi
the chief burthsns Of taxation. Wesubmit
that this is piece Of inius,ice that should
be promptly remedied by Council.
In conclusion, wo respectfully ask the
present outgoing City Council to consunl
mate and crown the labors Of their term
Of service by reducing the price OF gas tic
90 90 gross per thousand OR 81 70 net
This would be let up Of 80 cents per
thousand on the large class who have sc
long borne the heat and burden OF the day
in the e1cessive price paid for gas in oul
midst. 1t would come in good season al
this particular time and DO doubly vel
coined on account Of the depression il
business. This reduction can easily b
made, and ut the same time leave mar
gin OF profit in the manufacture OF ga
amply sufficient to wipe out the debt ye
standing as a charge against the SaI
works. ~ @ ...,,
