The Gas Meeting.

Just as our paper was going 10 press, a report of the proceedings of the Gns meeting, on Thursday evening, was handed to us for publication. Our columns being already up, Mr. S. C. CRA.NE, who was mado Reporter for the occasion, submits the folloivitig condensed report:

About fifty citiiens usscmiyiea iv„.Court House, at the appointed time, which number was increased to nearly a hundred. His Honor, Mayor W. II. LAYMON, wns called to the Chair, and the meeting was addressed by the Hon. JAMES WILSON, who, in an hour's speech, spoke eloquently of the necessity of a spirit of improvement in our city, and looked ut the question of Gas in a practical business light, that certainly impressed many favorably who had come to the meeting with strong prejudices ngainst the proposed improvement. The fact that the firm, which .offers to build the works, are now ready to invest $5,000—one fourth the money to be raised—had the effect of making those present ctyifidcnt that the investment would pay. The reporter regrets that more space is not allowed him for a review of

Mr. Wilson's speech, which was practical and pointed, and at times eloquent. Had every business man in the city heard it, the Gas Works would soon be a fixed fact. After a few remarks by Mjk WERDEN and Councilman JESSE ,W. CUMBERLANP, tliq subscription books wore opened, and the list headed by Mr. Werden with one hundred shares ($5,000). In a few moments, $3,000 more were subscribed, nnd the animus of the meeting was strongly in favor of the projected works. On motion of

Hon. James Wilson a committee of three afterwards increased to seven—was appointed '. hy the chair, to canvass the city for subscriptions to the stock, 'estimated at §20,000. The following named persons constitute said committee: R.H.Craig, J. P. Watson,^ Dr. J. C».

McMehan, Dr. W, L. May, V. Q. Irwin, I. n! McConnell, Sampson Huston. The meeting adjourned, with a fcclin'g'dccidedly favorable to the contemplated improvement, and as they emerged from the door, into the surrounding darkness, the audience could not help contrasting the present gloom with the prospective j£ow of gas-light along our darkened streets.

Mr. Crane's Lecture.

Mr. S C. Crane will deliver his Lecture on "Lifo in this Fast ARO nnd Vast Country." at Tenjporanco Hall, on Monday evcnioir, next, at 7 o'clock, doors open at half-past six. Tho Ilall has been newly papered and furnished with costly chandeliers, and will be comfortably arranged for the occasion. The Eastern pnperi speak of tho Lecture in the most flattering terms, and (lie Indianapolis papers are equally complimentary.

The following notice is taken from tho columns of the WESTERN NEW YORKER. "The feolinjr is goncral among our citizens that wc must hav«. Mr. Crane lccture a second time. Tlio dense and delighted thrnna who listened to it on last evening hnvo awakened

Again wc say, let us have Mr. Cr&no's lccturo repeated."

We prcsumo that this notice will bo sufficient to fill tho House. In order to cnablo all to oonie, single tickets may be had for 25 cts, or thrco tickets for 30 cts. They may bo obtained nt tho "Corner liook Storo" and of T. D. Brown at the Drug Store.

The Graham Mammoth Establishment. Great, huge, immense, in short, mammoth, mastadon piles of goods having been arriving daily and hourly at the store of JAMES GRAHAM & BRO., we concluded to visit the establishment and see how they were disposed of. We succeeded in getting in at the door, but found the numerous clerks, employed by this firm, and the proprietors, busily engaged in selling goods. The remarks of those who had purchased were amusing, and no doubt true. Some would say that they had purchased articles four and five dollars cheaper than they could in Lafayette or Indianapolis. We found that many of the customers preferred to trade with Mr. James Graham, having full confidence that what he told them in regard to goods would be exactly ttfie. It, is this confidence and repose in the integrity of a merchant tin11 secures custom, and we think that Mr. James Graham possesses it in a largo degree. He is a man of enterprise, and identified with nil the improvements of our city and county, and one that deserves the respect and esteem of all. This store will not consent to any combination by which the price of goods may be kept at a high figure, but by reducing prices, secures to the buyer a fair equivalent for his money. Ladies who are in need of furs for winter wear, nnd gentlemen who want over coats, can find such a variety at this establishment, that it cannot fail to please them, if they call and examine. The store room is one of the largest in the west, covering over three hundred feet of ground, and the goods disposed of in such a manner that the customers can be supplied in the shortest possible time.

THE best Drag Saws in the market are sold by Campbell, Galey & Hartcr. So saj- those Who USe Ilium.

The desire to crush out a fallen foe, is however, only a small part of the feeling which dictates this clamor for more war... It is the desire for plunder that is upper^' most. The standing army, which now numbers 180,000, will afford places for a host of it, is

etfTl

kept up on a

wdr footing: The expenditure of a war which has enriched multitudes, and given birth to a new aristocracy, must not be discontinued. That arbitrary power4fliich depends upon tho pretense tSf a war necessity for its existeuce, and which enables Secretaries to suspend hostile journals, to interdict disloyal churches, to arrest opposing politicians, and to imprison the witnesses of their corruption, is too precious a prerogative to be hastily surrendered. The war must go on!

The rebel armies have surrendered, the soldiery have returned to their homes, the Confederacy is dissolvetFj1 the States have severed the links that bound them to it and to each other in rebellion, the ordinance of secession is annulled, the rebel debt repudiated—there is peace, for there is no enemy to make war. But Congress and the lobby, the contractors and officeholders, the Secretaries and the speculators unite in saying that the war is not ended!

Against whom then is it waged? Against the people, the tax-payers, the States, the industry of the masses, the public credit, the liberty of uitizens! This is the war that, closed against the South, is reopened by politicians at Washington. Let them recollect that there arc two sides to such a war, and that powerful as they may think themselves in position and resources, the people against whom they proclaim hostilities are yet stronger!

AA HEN New York voted upon the question of allowing negroes to vote, it gave a majority of ninety thousand against it.

J. Todd.E. Ful:

[London Times, Nov. 20.]

It is useless to follow the special pleadings of those who in the atrocities committed on their countryman refuse to see aught but the grievances of negroes and the wickedness of the white racc. Fortunately for the interests of truth there are in this country mauy persons who have passed some portion of their lives in the West Indies, and whose evidence is sufficient to refute the platitudes of rhetorical sentimentality. These people know well enough that the negro had no grievances —no grievances, at least, but what he had a legal mode of redressing, lie was the most fortunate of cottier proprietors. No peasant in England, Scotland, France or Belgium could compete with him in his command of the comforts of life. He almost always had land of his own. On this he could grow such cereals and vegeetablcs as were necessary for his subsistence. lie could, and often did growspimfi

7 [From the Albany New York Argus.] "The War Is Not Ended.'! Such is the word sent by telegraph, through the country. Thus" Congress is to proclaim. Upon this theory the War Department has been acting. The President, too, is charged with it jfchough his language has thus far been heard in protest against the false and cruel assumption. "Ihe war has cudcd two years too soon," was the rcccnt declaration of a rapacious and ferocious office-bolder. Wc lmve whipbed the rebels but we have not whipped them enough," was his explanation.

Why, then, did he not avail himself of these? Why did he plot foul treasons and murders? The answer is not far to seek. The wonderful influence of racc has operated as strongly on the negro as on the feclave, the Magyar, and the Celt. The negro views with jealousy and hatred wespeak.of course, generally and subject to exceptions—the contiguity of another race numerically inferior, but which lie feels to be morally superior, to his own. He dreams of the glorious island in which lie lives being owned in perpetuity by himself and bis posterity. The ^vicinity

Hayti and its barbaric independence have fostered his dreams of vengeance and his dreams of aggrandizement. Intercourse with Hayti has kept alive his ambition anJ his jealousy, lie was visited by men who, if they had been born in Jamaica, would have been artisans, or cottiers, or clcrks, or small officials, but who in Hayti were generals, colonels and Ministers of State. Ilaytians arc mentioned by Mr. Kyre as privy to this risin The negro visited Hayti and saw a whole community of his own color mimickin the civilization of Europe, and kcepin •Hiuropeans out of civil rights, out of property, out of office. He saw every man doing as he liked, with none to reproach him for idleness and unprofitableness, plantations withering into decay, land starving through want of culture, and nono^to say

,!This

is all your fault."

The suggestion pleased his pride, his vanity, his indolence. Why should not Jamaica become a Hayti? The promptings of greed and of conceit were supplemented by the promptings of what in Jamaica is called religion. That phase of Christianity which touches on the equality of all men has ever had singular attractions for the negro. To the text which tells him that all men are equal he always mentally appends a gloss eminently flattering to his own qualities. But vanity and fanaticism would of themselves have barely sufficed to engage him in an armed rebellion. Two cotcmporaneous events of grave moment conspired to concentrate his mind and his efforts on so perilous a project. The slave in the Southern States became free, and the Spaniards were ignoininiously repulsed from San Domingo. Ihe lattor event especially produced a eeP sensation throughout the whole of the West Indies. We are now witnessing first fruits of both of them.
