! SOME days since in making some
repairs ard inspections of the gas
main on Front street. the workmen
were forced to abandon their work
| by the sudden rise of the waters, in
sorting a couple of plugs in the
main to prevent the escape of the
gas. On last Thursday some UNI
known person in trying to land
some floating plank, ran afoul of
the plugs knocking them out, thus
letting the water into the main,
which soon filed, emitting off all
connection between the gas works
and the city. Here was dilemma
with apparently both horns under
the flood, the city without gas and
the broken pipe twelve feet under
water; however Supt. Hopper was
equal to the emergency, and ably
assisted by his right and left bow
ers, Messrs. Kane and Dunn, set to
work with will to give us light.
This they did by tapping the main
on Washington street at the gas
works and running a surface pipe
along Dunlap street, a distance of
six hundred and eighty feet to Com
merce, tapping the main there and |
making connection, gave the city
the usual supply of gas. The Gas
Co., are fortunate in having a corps
of efficient employees, and the peo-
pie will duly appreciate their efforts
to avert what would have been a
serious Inconvenience if not a ca
lamity.

THE DISPATCHES inform us this morning
that Governor McEnery, of Louisiana, re-
fuses to give Senator Kellogg the certificate
of election for Congress from the Third
District of Louisiana on the ground Of non.
residence in the State or district.
From the best evidences we are able TO
procure Kellogg went to Louisiana in the
spring of 1865; was the sixth man to
register under military reconstruction in
1867 in the Parish of Orleans has since
constantly registered and voted in the State,
bought and sold property, sued and been
sued in the courts of the State, and as
citizen has boen Governor four years, q
United States Senator ten years, and is
now Senator. He has large planting and
other interests in the State, most of which
are in the Third District. 1t also appears
that the Democratic returning officer of
st. Marys Parish, one of the parishes
thrown out, has telegraphed Governor
McEnery that the election was fair, and
that his returns are correct compilation
of the vote cast. In view of all
these facts, none of which have been
or can be successfully contradicted, it
would appear to honest and fair-minded
men of every party, no matter what theiI
political predictions or prejudices might
be, that Kellogg is entitled to tho certifl-
cate and that Governor McEnery's action
in refusing it is, to use very mild term
an outrage upon the people of the Third
Louisiana Congressional District.

calls In an expert, who, after examining
ms case, likes the amount of the wages
10 be paid. On the other hand. the
master finds IL to be his interest to nav
good wages, and to give the weaver an

happens to be in fashion enables him to
10 make extra profits. Where a mas
yer employs Journeyman he gives him
nan the wages earned by the loom, re-
tanning the other half as hire for the
loom ana profits. In ordinary times a
loom earns about IS. per day, which
leaves :. cd. for the assistant mot very

BILE. The preparatory work of winding and
spooling Is paid by the day, generally
from Is. Sd. to .. for 10 hours work.
In 1858 the longest permissible time was
liked at II hours in summer and III
In winter. With the ordinary sort of
ribbons. wages form about 10 per cent,
OF the price, but with the superior kinds,
the wages run up to 40 per cent. A
singular feature is the fact that
the weavers making silk rib
oons are more steady and
frugal, and work best at home, while
those making velvet ribbons have not
such a good reputation, and are also
more frequently collected in larger
numbers in factories. Can the latter
fact affect their morals? is the question
suggested.

Using Money 90 Brihc De,era,s.-


Ohfo Press, Edited by an oil Time Republican.
There is still another principle in
volved in this contest deserving more
serious consideration. 1t d eveloped
during the sitting of the convention
that money had been used to influence
to bride the votes of delegates, the
same as that practiced in winning sup
port to Updegraff, at the primaries,
Steubenville and elsewhere. A dele
gate representing republican electors of
Noble county, by the name of Jones, in
formed Capt. Danford during the sit
ting of the convention, that he propos-
ed TO drop the candidate of his own
county, and vote for Updegraff-then,
suiting the action to the wOrd-putting
his hand on his vest pocket-he said,
81 have Updegraffs money here, and
am bound to vote for hisrenomination
In corroboration, Jones informed
Private Dalzell that he had been offered
"hig money" to support Updegraff.
Jones subsequently, when brought be-
fore committee of investigation. de-
MED the charge, Of course-would not
eliminate himself-but the testimony
of Danford and Dalzell, both gentle
men of veracity, is sufficiently con-
elusive to establish the charge and to
convince the public that fraud had
been practiced in the interest of Upde-
graft, from which there is no escape.
In view of these and other irreg-
larlties, to secure the denomination OF
DIR. Updegraff, can the republican par
ty, even should he get the nomination
thus by fraud, afford to endorse such
representative? Would not the party
be itself endorsing bribery, be pdrti-
cops c1imiRis to palpable fraud, and
suffer from and be. condemned by the
moral sentiment ofthe people for brib-
cry? IfvOtes are to be put on a cash
basis, and the county is to expect
steady markets for ballots, better cast
the ballot boxto the wind, than to.
have the principle established that
money and not the free and honest ex-
preston of the people is to fill offices,
and control the country. The menace
which hangs over the American people
to-day, is the use of money in control
ling politics, and it looks as though
those who support DIR. Updegratf, are
endorsing principle of corruption,
which destroys the sanctity of the bal
lot-bOX, vital to the existence of the
republic itself So if the republican
party, which in its former days had no
trouble getting votes honestly, has be-
eomeso corrupt as only to be able to secure
power by pelf, the sooner it makes an
assignment and quits business the better
it will be for the country.

Concerning GumpiiOn,

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, on
Saturday addressed the members of
the Golden Branch Society, of Phillips
Exeter Academy, upon "What Advan-
tage Does an American Boy Possess"
Mr.. Atkinson urged that the young
men who are soon to become the work.
ers and controllers in the business of
life should be careful not to become
onesided and not to loose the "g1mp-
tom which every Yankee boy ought
to possess, and which does not form part
of the curriculum of the school or col
lege, but is developed or lost in that
part of the process of education which IS
outside the books and independent OF
teacher. Gumption is that power OF APP
plying the work of the hand and the
brain together under the application OF
the will, which makes boy or man
ready for any emergency, and enables
him to decide at glance, or with sim
gle thought, the right way OF doing
something. In the old time, although
the organization of the schools was not
as perfect as it is to-day, and although
the teachers were perhaps not as COM
spetent as those of modern time, while
variety of instruction was far less, there
was no less number ofable and capable
men among the graduates of schoolsand
colleges i'm proportion to the whole num-
Der of pupils than there is to-day. The
necessity which was imposed on the
rich and Door alike to do some part OF
the work of life with their own hands,
while they were attempting to develop
-kol
rection Of that readiness and versatility
which we call gumption. II Is obvious
to men who have been engaged from
very early years in the active work OF
life, and have been charged with the
duty of selecting men to all important
plaees, that the number Of school or col
iepe graduates who have been adequately
prepared to apply their instructions to
Immediate use constitutes palnfuily
small proportion of the whole number.
1t may be admitted that the only true
result eff school and college training Is TO
enable young man to know when ana
how to begin the real education which
must form part ofhis life, and which
will not end except with life, but 1t
ought not to happen that the method Of
preparation is so ll-advised that it dis
Qualities the graduate in a measure for
the work which he must do. Mr.. At
kinson advocated for boys and young
men in school and college an organized
-system of sports as means OF develop
ing manual dextehpy urging thedevelop-
Ement of hand an brain together. HIS
address throughout was an argument In
'fhvor of students endeavoring to
acquire not only the knowledge
which will enablethem to de-
sign, but the gumptiOn winch
kcilhates the ready application of
'kn0Wledge to the execution Of the de-
sj1n ii whatever work may demand
fl5elr attention and effort.
