A Very Short sermon ON Gas.


To the Editor Of The Republican:
The miserable stuff furnished by the Washington
Gaslight Company grows worse and worse nightly.
-SattOHat Republican Of yesterday.
How can you, dear reader expect that good will
come outofeYil? How can you expect that the Wash
ington Gaslight Company will do otherwise than
take your money on false pretenses? Are you not
aware that this company owns the Capitol and the
National Legislature and that were il not for very
shame they would collect their bills without sup
plying any gas whatever? They are the masters,
dear reader; you are their slave and the National
Congress is the Obedient servant of this huge and
bloated monopoly. You ask, is that really the
case? We reply that you have only to look for
yourselves and see that the Capitol is filed
with their agents. They control every man in
and about the Capitol whose services can
be made valuable to them. Some of these men
are styled professional advisers of the Govern
ment" 1t is well known that whenever any plan
which seems 10 threaten the supremacy of the
Washington Gaslight Company is broached in
Congress these professionals " are always ready
with some reason why il should not be enacted
into law; and their dupes (CongreSsmen) lend 4
ready to such suggestions, and grayey state.
they have reached by aid of these advisers"
There is remedy for this state of things and only
one-let Congress repeal the charter of the monop-
oily and put the concern into the hands of
a receiver. Then let it be sold out and
the District become the purchaser. Any
remedy short of this will fail. If Congress
visers their offices would soon be filed by the
monopoly with others, and the same old game
would be played over again. This is not written
with any hope that these sores the body polite
will be healed-that the purging process will be
undertaken 1t is only that our people may know
their masters and cease struggling against the fate
which has overtaken them.
The professional advisers of the Government"
in and about the Capitol, too powerful to be
sisted. All that can do is TO bow our heads and
submit to their dictation. }. B.

LAMAR ON GRANT.
ras sI,..i..,ppI senator .. the a.l

The Mississippi senator On the Bill to
Retire the COnqueror OF the Rebellion.
Yesterday in the Senate, after Mr.. Logan had
called up the bill TO place General Grant on the re-
tired list, Mr.. Lamar said he presumed had Gene
raj Grant, at any time when General of the Army,
asked to be retired in accordance with his rank,
no one would have objected. The policy OF the
Government in retiring its great generals and adj
mirals was, he thought, q proper one. 1t meant
that such officers should devote their lives to their
great duties; and that, in return, the country
shall secure their honorable and adequate in
dependence. So far from objecting to 1t,
he was willing to extend the principle. But
the people of the United States did not give
General Grant the opportunity of retiring They
summoned him to abandon his place of profes-
sional eminenee in order to become President
Whatevermight be his own Mr.. Lamar s. opinion OF
the political administration of General Grant, he
did not think the Generals assent to the expressed
wish of his country ought to deprive him OF the
benefit of the provision which was secured to those
who served in the army with him. He would
favor the general proposition suggested by MI
Bayard, as he thought it eminently proper
AN EX-PRESIDENT SHOULD RETIRE
from active politics. and equally proper he should
be enabled to live in pecuniary independence.
The proposition of leading journals to give an ex-
President seat in the Senate he would not favor,
as Senatorial seats, under the Constitution. were
based on State representation, and the proposed
Office would therefore have no vitality. He
heartily favored the general proposition of Mr.:
Logans bill, regarding it as an expression OF the
popular wish that the general most eminent in a
war which the vast majority Ofthe people regarded
as sacred in its motive and as important as the
war of the Revolution should be secured an honor
able competence at its close. He saw no sectional
question involved, as the proposition threatened
danger TO no Southern interest, impaired no
Southern right, and ought not to be considered as
wounding any Southern sentiment. He was will
ing to accept the popular appreciation of General
Grant
AS A GREAT SOLDIER,
and acqIiesce cheerfully in this method of its ex
preston. He could not however, vote for the
measure with the second section in it. which Sec
ton authorizes the President in his discretion to
assign the beneficiary to active duty. That seemed
to be yiolative of the principle upon which the re-
tirement of officers rest 1t interfered with the
proper administration of the active service and its
omission would not diminish the honor justice OF
position assigned to the distinguished gentleman
named in the bill Without reference 70 the STRAIT
egy of Grants military campaigns, he was in favor
of doing with him as was done by the Roman peo-
pie when the services of great soldier were COM
pleted-he would write opposite the name of the
distinguished American soldier, Ulysses S. Grant,
the word Emeritus"
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-01-26

A RATHER high compliment was paid to
Judge Edmunds by Hon. Isham G. Har-
ris, of Tennessee. 1t was during the late
campaign, when Mr.. Harris was asked
by some one why he was State-credit
man when SO many of his people were
not. "Why?" remarked Mr.. Harris !;
swell, would rather give one thousand
dollars out of my own pocket this minute
than have Senator Edmunds make one
speech on reputation. That is one rea-
son why I am State-credit man."

Mrs. GARFIELD says that the General is
apt to get obstinate when any one under
takes to drive him. Perhaps the Gen
eral learned a great fact in the economy
of affairs in his canal-boat experience
When the complacent mule makes up his
mind he won't go, an experienced driver
sits down and waits until he changes his
mind. 1t is the quickest way out of the
trouble. 1t is a homely comparison, but
Cabinet-makers might draw useful les
son from it and not push things.
