See! Young Am erica, his active arms
With bundles laden,
Escorting in a shipshod kind OF way
A pretty maiden.
Often she drops yard or t.TO behind
Before he's missed her.
All! her relationship rs plain
His sister.
And, close behind the couple We have seen,
Appears another,
A young man with a venerable dame,
OF course, his mother;
For he has with patronizing air
Her ear enlisted,
And tells her things of which she was aware
Ere lac existed.
Another pair, who walking far apart,
Scorn conversation,
he cycling all the young and blooming girls
With admiration;
She, with a weary air, and loaded down
With goods he should have carried,
Seems filed with care; alas, the fact is clear,
These two are married.

They seem devoted.

So bright above us
Look fondIy into his. Come, let lls gol

THE nomination of the Hon. A. HERR

Of Pennsylvania, for reelection il an honor
alike to the nominee and the Republicans
of the district. Mr.. SMITHS long expert

divested of merit. and really an attempted

SMITH distinguished his good sense, sound
judgment, and sterling ability by making
one Of the strongest and most conclusive
efforts arrayed against the fraudulent mea-

blow at the bill, and was prominent among
those who aided in sending it "whcre the

GAS FOR THE PEOPLE.

The manufacture and sale of gas to the
people of cities has been rendered, under the
force of circumstances, to II great extent a
monopoly. The investment for the manu-
tncture and supplying of this almost indis-
pcnsable article of domestic and business
comfort, in the way of machinery, pipe lay
ing, &c, is necessarily large, aud hence
when gas company gets possession of a
city ii is difficult to secure competition or
any safeguard against the grasping avarce
which seems to be the controlling spirit of
all corporations. The city of Washinnton
has one gas company that furnishes fair gas
at living rates to the stockholders if not to
the consumer, and does so thus far without
any fear OF competition. 1t keeps its own
accounts in its own way and the reported
state of the metre, no matter whether it is
inconsistent or not with circumstances, is
arbitrary, and If evidently incorrect under
the logic of circumstances, is is rs fixed as
the laws of the Medcs and Persians, the
consumer has no alternative but to pay or
have his supply cut off. This is u brief
statement of the case, and thus far gas con-
| Suhitlo W NhC -NutlOiltl NuUi are tnIlIelN
subject to the policy of one company, which
is evidently inspired as all interpretations are
with the idea of liberal dividends, and that
appears to be their chief consideration.
An effort is now being made in Congress
to secure charter for company which
has for its corporators several highly re-
spectacle citizens and which by new pro-
cess proposes to furnish a quality of gas to
the people Of Washington equal to that
which is now furnished at rate which
shall not benefit the stockholders in excess
of ten cents per hundred or one dollar per
thousand feet but it is blind as to what it
will cost the consumer 1t may cost the
consumer one dollar and half per thousand
feet to enable the stockholders to get their
one dollar, as there is no proposition as to
the cost to the consumer, and rs we under
stand Mr.. CRUTCIIET, the inventor of the
process by which thisgas is to be manutact-
ured and furnished, it can be manufactured
at less than fifty centsper thousand feet. This
being an accepted fact, and the proposed
bill securing to the stockholders one dollar
per thousand feet, the consumer has no
guarantee against an exaction in price to
enable the stockholders to realize their
benefits as established by law. Before the
bill is passed it should be so amended Us to
fix n maximum price to the consumer so
that it can be clearly understood whether or
not the difference Of saving is sufficient to
justify fresh tearing up Of the street or
sidewalk pavements to introduce its use
into the city II this new com
company is to be chartered let it be under
circumstances that will benefit gas consum-
ers but as We understand this bill it is
silent on that subject, except as to the bare
point of securing to the stock holders an as
surance of benefit of one dollar per thousand
feet from gas furnished, and we are told
orally by theinventor that the gas can be fur
nishcd at cost for price not exceeding fifty

APECULIAK REPnRT.

The Military Committee of the Senate
has had under consideration for some time
the subject Of purchasing two acres of land
at Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, on
which are buried one thousand five hun.
dred Confederate prisoners, who died at
Camp Chase while in captivity at that point
pending the war. The owners of the land
ask $500 ioI the fee of it, the Government
having paid $50 per annum rs rental for its
use up to this time. The land is not re.
garded as uniustly high at the figure named
and the committee have ransacked classic
history for arguments to justify the pur-
chase They inject into the report the
statement that there are many ex-Conied-
crates in both Houses Of Congress who are
no less guilty of wrong than those who
died at Camp Chase, and express the opin-
ion that no one will dispute their right to
burial in the Congressional Cemetery when
they shall have departed this life. The re-
port, after this reminder to the Confcder-
ates in Congress that they are as guilty as
the poor fellows who died at Camp Chase
and that their guilt is still held in remem-
brance, concludes by recommending that
the Secretary of War be authorized to pay
$500 for the two acres of ground in question
in which are the remains of fifteen hundred
Confederate soldiers.

This Is censured as going beyond the appro.

appropriately to the political forum. If Bishop
HAVEN really believes what he said, he should

THE HARVEST RIpESING.

The action of the Democrats in the House
of Representatives and the countcnance
given them in the Senate of the Congress of
the United States in their revolutionary
measures begins to ripen the harvest of
tribulntion for the nation. When the law
makers themselves begin to cast discredit
upon the laws Of their own making-when
war is openly declared against the integrity
OF the Presidential title-when late Con-
fcdcratcs are jubilant over the labor troubles
of the North, and incite the worst passions
OF the populacc against the Government
1t is not surprising that the seeds thus sown
germinate and promise an early and fruitful
harvest Of mischief. The first open blow
against the majesty of the law and the in
tegrity Of the Government was struck at
Fort Sumter. Then followed bloody
war, then surrender, then a proclaimed
peace-whch on the part Of the conquered
had but little meaning-then came laws Of
tuition, guarantees of equal rights to all citi-
zens, none of which have been duly re-
spectcd by the people of the conquered ter
ritory, from the day GRANT declined the
sword of LEE at Appomattox down to the
recent revolutionary movement of POTTER
in the House of Representatives.
During all these years the lawless-
ness of the South, the brutalities, op-
pressions, and murders that have been
pcrpctrated there under assured immu-
nifty from punishment, have conspired
to spread like spirit among NAL
contents at the North and West The Mollie
Maguires of Pennsylvania, the Communists
of st. Louis, and the threatened and at
tempted labor outbreaks throughout the
land are the examinations of the seed sown
by unpunished outlawry in the late insur-
gent States and strongly countenanced by
the Democratic party in and out of Congress
The late revolutionary movement in Con-
gress against the integrity Of the Presi-
dental title is but a signal of disorder
everywhere. Already we are advised that
the muttering of the storm in Pennsylvania
betokens approaching danger, and news
comes to us that the State is moving to put
itself on war footing equal to the pros
pective demand for maintaining the majesty
of the law and preserving order.
The restless spirits at the North cannot
understand why they cannot disregard the
law and public peace with impunity when
want prompts to the act if the entire South
is tolerated in bloody violations of it with
ont restraint or punishment. Then, again,
if the lawmakers themselves revile and
disregard the law which is the title deed
of the Presidency, how can we hope that
such perncious example is to be lost with
malcontents and go without bearing the
very worst fruits of disorder? The times
are perlous, and the greatest peril centres
in the teachings and examples of Bourbon
Democracy This fact is too patent to be
denied and too alarming to 90 unheeded.
