We are sorry 10 hear that the worms are
making sad havoc of the growing cotton in
Mississippi and Southern Arkansas, and in
Louisiana and Eastern Texas, and that the
planters In all that region are in state Of de-
spair at the gloomy prospect before them. The
prospect for the cotton in North and South
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama is
better; but in all the Southern States taken
together, from our present information, the
crop will be below an average yield on the
area planted. But then, throughout the South,
they have reaped good wheat crop, and are
promised fine crops Of corn, peas aud potatoes,
and fair yield Of tobacco in Lower Virginia
and the northern part Of North Carolina. Thus,
all things considered, the South will be vastly
relieved Of its material disresses by this years
crop, while the people of the richest States from
destructive floods and worms, will be the great
est sufferers. The wants OF those people, how
ever, must not be overlooked, if they prove TO
be such as to demand helping hand from their
more fortunate neighbors Of the Southeast and
the abundantly provided North. While the
Union at large is blessed with such fulness o.
crops as we have this year. there must be nc
more starvation In any corner OF it.

Notwithstanding the declarations of certain
Indian agents that there are no hostile Indians
on the Plains, and that no peace can be made
il the military authorities have any hand in
the negotiations General Sully and Colonel
Parker report defiant and warlike condition
Of things among the Northern tribes. and the
telegraphic dispatches published in yesterdays
HERALD confirm the evidence previously re-
eeived, that there is "war on the Plains" A
despatch from Fort Hayes says all the stock on
the railroad beyond there has been driven off
by the Indians, who attacked the engineers
and contractors and wounded several men.
Several Indians we're killed Omaha de-
spatches report that Of seven men who
we're surrounded by the Indians at Mud
creek three were killed and scalped, one
was literally fayed alive, and three escaped.
A Topeka despatch says that Governor
Crawford, who has just arrived from the
Usage Indian reservation, corroboratss Gene
raj Keller's statement. that the Ossge Indians
had gone on the Plains, stealing and COM
hitting other depredations. Little Bear is
still in the reservation, and says he knows
Indians are on the war path. On the other

The President hesitates. No practical step

receipt Of his defiance. Reporters assure us
that Mr.. Johnson has fortified himself with the
opinion Of his Cabinet as TO his right to purge

MS that the Presidents resolution to eject Mr..
Stanton has undergone no change, but that

reason: they are only called when the case
is desperate, and judgment takes no account
of the only things that can give success In
desperate emergencies. Unimagined inspira-
tons that defy calculation-bold strokes

where councils Of war always surrender; and
these, in amoral sense, are now the elements
of the Presidents position. He has gone too

Turkey. the United states aad tho Cretans.
A cable telegram from Paris, published in
yesterdays HERALD, asserts that the Turkish
Admiral had forcibly taken O despatch from
servant of the United States Minister at Con-
stantnople, and that Minister Morris had
demanded redress for the outrage from the
Ottoman government Some further explana-
ton is needed before we accept this statement
in its entirety. The captured despatch was
probably communication from the insurgent
Cretans, and If 80 may have been taken posses
sion of by the blockadng feet under the rules
of war. The statement that Minister Morris
had demanded redress, it will be observed,
rests only on report Mr. Morris is too sound
statesman and too sensible a man TO act
without just grounds to 60 upon, and we can
hardly believe that the Sublime Porte, with so
many troubles as it has on hand, can have
taken upon itself to deliberately insult the flag
Of the United States. Such proceeding
would be the essence of sublimated stupidity.
Our sympathies are strongly with the Cretans
in their effort to free themselves from Turkish
tyranny. We have war steamer, the Swatara,
already on the way to Crete, and very slight
exertion on the part Of the United States would
close up the Cretan rebellion in way the
Turks would scarcely relish. It would be
sheer madness, therefore, on the part of the
Porte 10 60 out Of its way to insult our repre-
sentative at such time. However, the news
is curious, and we wait for further develop
ments

the HERALD has 90 often proposed Of adopting
and faithfully carrying out firm and consist
ent policy that shall nullify the powers o.
mischief which the Indians must retain 80 long
as their tribes forma distinct and conflicting
element In our national system. II bad faith,
injustice and cruelty have failed to pacify and
civilize the red man, why not try the virtue Of
an entirely opposite course of treatment? The
experiment would cost less than the incalcula-
BILE expense of such general Indian war as
in their desperation the savages may provoke.
If pacific counsels cannot prevail, at least let
the tactics Of war with the Indians be radically
changed. Lot light cavalry, for instance, be-
come a main auxiliary to troops specially
trained to fighting in the most approved Indian
style. Let General Pope's suggestion be
needed, that it is wiser to drive the Indians
eastward, within the influence Of advancing
civilization, than further westward, to be still
barrier to its progress.

them asundsr. They have sseen Gagged together
in the hope that thereby their Independence
may be preserved little longer and the
evil day Of annexation be still further Put OF.
In slrtherance of this plan it suits the purpose
Of the politicians for the moment to raise an
immense hubbub on irrelevant issues They
have kicked up quite respectable dis.
cussion on the nice point as to whether
Darcy McGee il sometimes sober or
always drunk. They are violently anxious to
know who nrst originated the confederation
scheme and who opposed it. They interest
themselves eagerly in debating how much }.
S. Macdonald made when he was in office, and
whether George Brown ought or ought not to
have been sent to England. In short they
take up anything rather than the one solid
issue which lies at the bottom Of all the tur'
moil This Issue is, whether the maritime
provinces will submit to be taxed for the bene-
fit Of the Canadas-whether, in fact what is
sauce for Upper and Lower Canada, with
stagnant trade, a defenceless border, and
heavy debt, is equally sauce for sea-girt Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick, whose commerce
Hourishes and whose public credit Is good
When this grave question is put to practical
test there will probably be plenty of employ
ment for the British troops now on their way
TO the new dominion. When il is settled, we
expect to see one or more of the provinces
asking admission into the United States.

We have dispatches which confirm the pre-
vious announcement Of the occupation Of three
provinces Of Cochin China by the French forces.
What this occupation means we cannot exactly
conjecture, but il is probably an enterprise
which has something in IL Of Napoleon's grand
Mexican idea" II 20 there is some danger
that it will prove another Mexican fasco, or o
very costly whistle, like Algeria.

The DisagreeiDg Jury in the Surratt Case.
All must have been struck by the facts men
toned by our Washington correspondent as 10
the nativity OF the jury in the Surratt case.
OF the jurors who decided in favor Of convic-
ton, one was born in Massachusetts,, another
in Pennsylvania, q third in Germany, and the
fourth in Scotland. Two were Northern men
and two were foreigners OF those who de-
cided in favor of acquittal, two were born in
Virginia, two in Maryland, three in the District
Of Columbia and one in New York city. All
save one were Southern men. 1t is obvious
that not the legal merits Of the case, but polit-
cal sympathies, and, to certain extent, local
prejudices, must have governed the decisions
of the jurors. Will it be any Improvement on
this state OF things If the recent admission of
colored men as jurymen in the District of
Columbia by Congress be re-enaeted at its
next session and practically carried out at a
new trial of Surratts Although six negroes
upon the jury might secure different deter
mination of the case, would this be an infalli-
BILE test that it had been impartially decided
according to the law and the testimony If a
packed jury is necessary, either for acquittal
or for condemnation, does not O trial become o
farce ?
The pretext Of the alibi that was the import
ant point of the defence was, of course eagerly
seized upon by those jurors who were ready to
accept almost any testimony that could justify
their inclination to acquit the accused. All
the jurors. however, 1t is rumored, would
probably have united In convicting him of
conspiracy if the indictment had been confined
to that charge. In his next trial, perhaps, the
claims of the indictment may be lowered. Or,
in view of the useless expense of time and
trouble and over hundred thousand dollars,
in which the trial of Surratt has resulted, and
Of the apparent impossibility of securing in
the District Of Columbia either his acquittal or
his conviction, is it strange that the question
has arisen whether it is worth while to repeat
such q farce?
