II Assistant Secretary Thompson Of the

ample and teachings Of Washington and the
other great men Of the Republic, and holds
up a standard Of political NOR too often
neglected and forgotten. There Is no safety

says the proverb, thinks his goose swan;

always been the bane Of any service into

der free government, where II can be
reached and corrected, II generally results in
the disgrace Of the nepotists. One of the
most trying forms of opposition the reformer

of comment as regards his action, which ap-
proves itself.

The Washington Gas.Light Company has
reduced the price of gas TO sl.25 net per
200 feet for gas consumed on and after
October /, 1856, and as q voluntary act
makes the price Of this indispensable article
lower than in any city on the Atlantic
Coast. The Legislature Of New York COM
PEELED the Consolidated Gas Company of
that city to Sell at sl.25 recently, which, in
view of the fact that SO few of even the best
business minds can be competent Judges of
the emergencies which arise In the history
OF great corporations demanding instanta-
neous large expenditures of money, is re-
ceived as an arbitrary act. With this ex-
ception, the price of gas will be lower in this
city than any other on the Eastern seaboard,
as in Brooklyn It is $500; Philadelphia,
$l.6o; Jersey City, s1.75; Boston, $l.5O ;
Richmond, $l.50. The works In Philadel.
phia and Richmond are owned by those
cities, and one would naturally suppose the
authorities would be foremost in low prices.
The Washington Gas-Light Company re-
ceives but 80 cents per 900 feet for gas sup
piled to the public lamps, thus averaging
but about s1.ls per / 900 feet. The citizens
Of this community will reap the advantage
Of this large reduction, which will amount
40, say, nearly sl5o,OoO per aunum. The
money saved by the authorities in this direc.
tion can 80 into other channels to adorn
our already beautiful city, which is rapidly
assuming foremost place among this many
great cities Of our beloved country.
