This subject Is at present agitating
the public mind North und South.
We learn tliat a controversy in Knox
ville, Tennessee, resulted in reducing
the price of gas in that city from five
to throe dollars per thousand feet.
The people quit using It until the re
duction was made. The Baltimore
(UtieUr is strenuously pushing the ag
itation of this subjeot, with a view of
procuring eheais-r light, and it, ap
pear* to bo seconded by the consum
ers of that city. We quote the follow
ing from a recent article in that iw
l>er:
The Londoners complain that the charge
of *1 for a thousand fact of •fcrteen-capdlo
gas is too high. Here, we have to pay tbroe
dollars for a thousand feet of fourti?en-can
dle gas. and by some mysterious process
the monthly hills of consumers are made
to show an Increase of oonsumptton with
the same number of lights. Ihe price of
bituminous coal In England docs not vary
much from what It is here, and has, at
times, of lab', been actually higher than it
is with us. The price of labor also Is pret
ty much the same. If, then, the English
companies can sell gas at a dollar a thou
sand feet, und yet declare dividends of
eight and ten |s-r cent, a your-and that is
wTiut they are doing -It must Is 1 evident
that our double-headed corporation iu
charging three dollars n thousand feet for
fourteen-candlb gas -to say nothing of the
mystery about the bills-must bo making
eourmpus profits. As Colonel Sellers says:
••There's millions in it,” and those millions
come out of the pockets of the restive but
helpless consumers. The reason of the
difference is not far to seek. In London
there arc a number of gas companies, and
consequently there is an active conijs'U
tion. In Baltimore there is no competi
tion. The double-headed corporation has
froo swing, arid is blandly indifferent to
complaints. Meters, too, are wonderful
pieces of mechanism. Jhstaneiw are on
record—we know of several -where these
Industrious meters went on registering
gas, und the company went on charging
for it, where no gas had been used -where
the house, In point of fact, hail been shut
up and tlie family absent-v Of course, It
must havo been ali right. Perhaps "mate
rialised spirits" held nightly sivwds there,
and, contrary to their habit—preferring
darkness, usually, rather than light
turned on a full head'of gas all over the
house.
What would our cotemporary say if
he lived in Columbus, and hud to pay
six dollars per thousand feet, just
twice as much as now charged in Bal
timore, und double that of the small
town of Knoxville, In nearly every
city iu the Booth gas is charged for at
the rate of five dollars, while we pay
six. We learn from the Augusta Con
gtUiUliiiuiUht the price of gas is much
lower In New Orleans, notwithstand
ing its remoteness from the coal fields.
We have a gas company here, pre
sided over by liberal gentlemen; but
we would like to suggest, if they could
not reduce the price of gas on account
of the hard times, anti at the same
time place it within Ihe reach of ail.
In this way they would double the
amount;consumed, and secure a good
profit, Bix dollars per thousand is a
dollar more than is charged in other
cities, and considerably move than is
asked generally.

The press dispatches of a fetv days !
ago conveyed this intelligence:
Baltimore, Feb. 15. John W. Garrett,
President of the Baltimore A Ohio Rftil
rottd Company, to-day addressed a long
dispatch to Col. Scott, President of tile
Pennsylvania Railroad, in which, after re
citing the facts relative to the warfare be
tween the trunk lines, lie says lie has boon
Informed that the Pennsylvania company
Sto doprive tho Baltimore A Ohio
y of a convenient use of the Penn
i iincs by withdrawing througli
passenger tickets from its offices In New
York and-NeWEimand and prohibiting
freight ears of the Baltimore A Ohio from
passing over tho tracks of the Pennsylva
nia Road ill the city of Philadelphia. The
dispatch concludes as follows:
It is due to the great interests involved
to stabs to you that, if 1 am eorroetly in
formed as to the action of your company
and that you approve of Its action, the
Baltimore A Ohio will fool at liberty to
adopt, and will adopt, such measures in
reference to passenger rates und otherwise
as will vindicate its ability to maintain its
rights und to secure equitable and just
relations for Its business to all proper
points. I will tie glad u> learn that the
serious results that will follow to many
interest* from the course which will other
wise be forced upon this company, and
which no one will more sincerely regret
ttian myself, may tie averted by the
prompt correction of the extraordinary
alleged action of your company, of widen
I have been advised.
John W. Garrett,
President Baltimore A Ohio K. R.
There seems to be 110 prosixsct, at
present, of a settlement of tho war
between them. Mr. Garrett says that
Bcott’s telegram is a tissue of gross
misrepresentations. Orders have been
given by the Baltimore &Ohio for an
immense reduction of passenger rates
between important points, to compel
the Pennsylvania Road to re-open the
gateways of commerce to Philadel
phia and New York, which it has just
c.\osed. All its Western connections*
havo agreed to co-operate with tho
Baltimore & Ohio iu this policy.
The country has been startled more
than unoe before by the announce
ment of war by the Pennsylvania
uiion the Baltimore & Ohio Road, and
always for the same cause the refusal
of President Garrett to enter into
combinations against the people for
the maintenance of exorbitant rates.
We had thought, that Tom Scott’s
failure in his Southern security
scheme would have quieted his nrro
gunee, but it seems that he has shown
his teeth again, and it is reserved for
the Baltimore & Ohio to give him a
sitting down that will outlast the im
pression made by his Southern .fiasco.
Mr. Garrett’s manly letter indicates
unmistakably what Col. Scott will
euteh if he persists in Ids last effort
to rule thq transportation lines from
the East.
Let us bo just, though the Heavens
full. The Government has begun to
economize. A mail agent named
Kadford, who was killed on the 25th
of November while in tho discharge
of his duties on the Baltimore and
Oldo Road, had that morning been
paid his month’s wages In full. The
amount tints overdrawn was five
days’ pay, which has been duly ex
torted from the widow. Contrast
with this the back-i>ay and forward
pay of Congressmen.
'll ft W'AkHrNbTON f.IiITPR.
BpciUK urreipoadence <*f the Daily TItiKA.J
Washinotos, Feb. 17, 1875.
Very little attention is paid to legis
lation, but everybody is llxing up for
the next Congress. The general top
ic of conversation among tho politi
cians who have swarmed to tho Cupi- !
tol, from every direction, is the third j
term sensation. The friends of Gen,
cml Grant deny, most strenuously,,
that he is a candidate, or that he will
allow his name used, but the prevail
ing opinion is that he is a candidate, j
and, from what I cun see und learn, I
am of the same opinion. Grant’s
friends may be right in saying lie is j
not u candidate, for the prospects arc
that before that time he will be suffi
ciently emboldened to take tho reins
of Government in his own hands, and
not submit to another election by the
people. Affairs now wear that som
bre aspect, and t he Radicals are bold
ing nightly caucuses to decide on
some free and perfect plan to jieriict
uate themselves in power. The vilest
men from tho South and North are
here, manipulating the caucus, and
you need not be surprised ut any j
time to hear that the South is to be j
placed under military rule, and federal
soldiery quartered in each town. They 1
know that the day of retribution is
at hand, and something desperate
must be done to stay the voice of the j
people that is clamoring against their:
villainies.
There is considerable difference of
opinion in regard to the Bevenue bill.
Most of them have axes to grind, and
ltseems difficult to frame a bill that
will meet the approbation of all. It
is probable tliat it will stand as be
fore, with tin*exception of the in
crease on whiskey and tobaeeo, and
the relief of tax on bank checks and
matches.
The Texas and Pacific Railroad, or
as it is better known, the Southern
and Pacific Railroad, will probably
pass the House, as all of the Southern
and Western members favor it.
Tho Civil Rights bill will, without
fail, pass the Senate just as it passed
the House, though a number of Radi
cals in caucus have offered various
amendments. They seem in nv hur
ry, however, to pass it, but feel assur
ed they cun do it al any time before
Congress adjourns.
The Pacific Mail investigation is ’
still going on, and many more dark
and ugly confessions are wrung from
unwilling lips. This stupendous steal
beats anything in the history of the
Government, even Boss Tweed’s oper
ations in New York. There is a fair
prospect of getting more Congress- ;
men in the muddle, but it will matter i
not with them, ns there will only be
a general whitewashing and hand
shaking.
The affairs in Louisiana come in for
their full share, but nothing lias been !
done, though the President thinks he
should be allowed to determine the
whole matter right a wav.
The Georgia delegation stand well
with Congress and the people gener
ally. Gen. Gordon is the leading
spirit from Georgia, and I may add
from the South. Air. Stephens is !
rarely seen, and never heard, though
his friends advise him to let the peo- j
pie hear from him on the situation, j
He is very reticent, however, hut it is 1
ascribed to the personal regard lie
had for Grant before liis last effort to
get charge of the State governments.
Gen. Brown, of Kentucky, is the
lion of the day now made so by his
withering speech against Butler, and
the censure Voted him by the House.
Now and Then.

The Proposed Nnrlal Equality.
The Radical caucus which has been
deliberating on the more effectual I
way of insulting the South and pro-!
tecting (?) the negro is still at work. |
A bombshell lias exploded in their
camp, in the shape of a Mr. Smith, [
who has introduced an amendment
to the bill including the entire Uni
ted States in the operations of the
bill. Heretofore the bill was only
applicable to the “States lately In re
bellion.’’ Mr. Blaise, Speaker of the
House, concurred with Mr, Smith.
Tii is is only a semblance on the part
of Mr. Blaine, for he knows that the ■
bill will not effect the North, for the
reason that but few uegroes are
there, and tliat the people he repre
sents are not entitled to turn up
their noses againt. a negro when they
are no better. This amendment will
not promote the success of the bill,
for there are some people North who
Will object to the interference with
their rights. The chanees for its de
feat will not, howover, depend on
! their objection to social equality, but
lon the invasion of the constitution
j when made applicable to them.

j The latest news of the conflict be
tween tho German Government and
j the Roman Catholic Church is as fol
lows: Bishop Martin of Paderborn
refused to receive the judgment of
| the Eeelesiastieal Court which de
■ posed him, or to sign the customers
acknowledgement. He has been
sent to the fortress of Wesel. Vicar-
General Peine and all the clerical
subordinates of Bishop Martin have
resigned; but the lay officials have
declared themselves ready to carry
on the business of the diocese. The
members of the Arehiopi.seo]ml Con
sistory of Posen, who discontinued
their service upon the administra
tion of the church property by State
officials have been dismissed. The
whole of tho bishop’s property be
longing to the See of Fulda has been
sequestrated, and the head priest,
Herr Aelfrieh Dipporz, has been ban
ished from German territory. The
■Cathedral Chapter of Westphalia has
been ordered to elect an administra
tor of the diocese, and Government
Councillor Herr Von Behierstadt has
been appointed to sequestrate the
property and to provisionally govern
the See.

it is therefore confident that Bruns

The Forsyth Adrertixer says some I

time onlv, as they landed in Forsyth
on last Wednesday, weary, sick, dis
heartened, and —‘‘broke.” They
bring gloomy reports from the West.
Sickness prevails ; so much rain lias
fallen that the country is flooded: the
people are rude and uncouth, and the
reports about the splendid chances j
for making money turn out to be
false. The sons of Mr. Childes suc
ceeded very well in farming last year.
When they prepared to leave for the
West they had mules and wagons, to
gether with corn and fodder enough
to run a farm tho present year.
They turned this proper! v into money
to pay expenses to Arkansas. It is
all spent, and they were compelled to
pawn their baggage fur fifty-live dol
lars to have enough to pay their way
hack. They were well to do when;
they were here last year; now they;
have less than nothing. Others who
went from Monroe to Arkansas sent
word that they will return as soon a-,
ttiev ean make money enough to .
so.
