Several correspondents in the city ask tha
HERALD if the gas companies have the right
to make their charges without regard to justice
and fair play. We have two bills from ono
company, rendered in the last half of Last
month to consumers in Third avenue In one
the price charged is two dollars and quarter
per one thousand feet; in the other the rate Is
half a dollar more per thousand feet Why the
difference? And has the company right thus
to discriminate? Moreover, it appears from
one of these bills that us high as three dollars
was the printed rate, from which it is inferred
that some customers pay one-third more for
given quantity of gas than others. One
writer complains thus: --'I burn less gas for
the last three months, yet my gas bill has
increased every month" These things do
appear triAe strange to those unacquainted
with the dark ways of our purveyors of light;
but to those who have watched the subject ii
is an old story of arbitrary exaction. They
will call to mind the case of ono of the chief
ornaments of our Judiciary, who some years
ago locked up his house while he made Sum-
mer trip with his family in Europe. When he
came home he found gas bills to pay the same
as though he had been continuing his custom
airy consumption. He had not used foot of
gas, but nevertheless he had to pay-"he
might have had the light if he chose" "'Twas
ever thus" Since the foul-smelling extract
of coal supplanted honest whale oil and aris-
tocratic sperm as the popular illumination the
companies making it have held the whip hand
of the public If you do not like their terms
they are willing you should leave your house
in darkness, and if you do not walk up to the
company's Office and settle your supply will
cease. How can mere man with right on his
side strive against the heavy artillery of these
rich monopolies2 Ten lines of honest legis- /,
lative enactment on this subject by our ser
wants at Albany would be welcome to all who l.
do not care to pay more for light than theyI
justly owe.

An interesting paper has recently been pub
lished by Southern writer attempting to &C
count for the increased severity of the Gull
States Winters. 1t is pretty conclusively
established that the cold of former years in
the cotton belt and lower basin of the Missis-
sippi was less rigorous than now, and the fact
seems to clash with the known mitigation of
climate noted in Europe, Asia and many other
parts of the world, as apparently due to fell
ing the forests and clearing the soil. The
writer in question accounts for the climatal
change by the telling of the South
ern forests, affording more unre-
stricted scope to the northwest winds,
chilled by snow on the Rocky Mountains.
He also very strikingly contrasts the effect of
the winds which reach Southern Europe from
the arid and sun-scorched wastes of Africa and
the Great Desert and those which blow from
the Gulf of Mexico over the Southern part of
the United States. The African winds exert
no inconsiderable influence on the climate of
Southern Europe, producing higher tempera-
lures than those which rule on the same par
allels of latitude in this country, while the
gales from the Gulf, impregnated with moist
ure, only increase the severity of the cold
derived from the northwest winds
In the early part of this century the average
temperature of New Orleans was more than
seventy degrees, and that of the Winters about
fifty six degrees-fgures undoubtedly too high
for the present time. That the clearing away
of the vast forests of lofty pines from the South
ern States has opened new ways and chan
nels for the cold Winter winds from
the Plains east of the Rocky Mountains is
highly probable and plausible; but it is
equally probable that the rapid and wide
spread progress of emigration in the Upper
Valley of the Missouri and throughout all the
far Northwest has made comparatively
smooth plane over which the mountain winds
may more freely and in greater volume de-
scend upon the States of the Gulf
Strange to say, the paper alluded to has re-
ceived singular confirmation from an indie
pendent and very recent communication by
Professor Schiaparelli to one of the learned
societies of France, in which are given many
curious observations on the great cyclones
which have deposited in Italy some of the
sands uplifted from the Desert of Sahara.
If the observed increase of severity in the
Southern Winters is confirmed by long expe-
rience it will work very material changes in
the agricultural and sanitary condition of the
Gulf States. BY increasing the Winter rains
it may accomplish much good, supplying the
soil with stores of water against the usually
destructive droughts of Summer.

tho National Assembly.
The cable dispatches from Paris and
Versailles, published in the HERALD this
morning, bring hopeful intelligence of the
steady and secure progress of the work OF
constitutional elaboration under the govern
ment of the Republic, and also of the prospect
OF regular peaceable transmission of the
republican form of government to the French
people, despite the political Vaccinations of
the monarchists or the socialistic in terroren
violences of the reds. The latest Parliamentary
proceedings of the Committee of Thirty and
OF President Theirs, as they are set forth in
the HERALD to-day, are of very important
and equally interesting character. Accord
ing to the news the decision come to on
Wednesday last by the Committee of Thirty
in favor of creating second Chamber has led
to rupture between the parties of the Right
and the Right Centre. The immediate effect
of this will be to strengthen the republican
party, for it will compel the left wing of
the Right to lean more upon the Left
side of the House. 1t is reasonable to
conclude that the Committee Of Thirty will be
successful in the work which they have un-
dertaken. They have more than once during
their deliberations listened to President
Theirs and done their best to benefit
by his suggestions. His suggestions
have done much to modify their
report. M. Dufaure has succeeded in
inducing the committee to adopt an amend
ment, which provides that before it's dissolu-
ton the National Assembly shall enact laws
organizing and directing the transmission of
the legislative and executive powers and
creating second Chamber. President Theirs
has never been opposed to the creation of
second Chamber. second Chamber has
from the first been q prominent fea-
ture in the requirements of the Com
mittee Of Thirty The transmission of power
is different question. President Theirs
holds his powers from the Assembly. He
is their officer. With the dissolution of the
Assembly his powers would cease. The Presi-
dent asks that he be allowed to hold the
reins of executive authority during the gen.
eral election and for some weeks after the
elecion-a most natural and proper request.
This concession, it would seem, the Commit
tee of Thirty are disposed to make. It was a
defect of the Bordeaux compact that no such
provision was made. In the event of disso-
luton there must be some responsible author
ity. The President q the Republic has the
first place. After him comes the President of
the Assembly. The presumption now is that
the report Of the Committee Of Thirty will be
substantially adopted: An immediate disso-
luton of the Assembly is not expected. The
Republic is doing well, and it ought to sue
coed.

The New YORK CHARTER AT AIBANY.-The
debate in the Assembly on the New York
charter was continued yesterday, on the
amendment offered by Mr.. Opdyke in rela-
ton to the appointing power. Without reach
ing any vote in the Committee of the Whole
on this proposition, progress was reported,
and in the House the bill was ordered to q
third reading. 1t is understood, however, that
when the bill is reached in its order for final
passage it will be recommitted to the standing
Committee on Cities, with power to report
complete It is probable that the Opdyke
amendment, which gives the original appoint
ment of heads of departments to the Alder
men and the confrmatory power to the Mayor,
will then be substituted for the existing pro-
vision, and that in that shape the bill will be
passed by the Assembly and sent to the Senate

HE HoHENzoLLERN CANDrDATURE REVIVED
IN SpAN.-A Madrid paper says there is good
ground for belief that several leading conserv-
atives are intriguing for the revival of the
Hohenzollern candidature for the throne of
Spain. 1t may be that some wag has set afloat
this story. We cannot allow ourselves to think
that the Spanish people, even if they should
conclude to re-establish monarchy, will go out
of Spain to look for King One thing, how
ever, it is safe to say-if Hohenzollern comes
to Spain he will not be so easily got rid of
as Amadeus. He will stick.

What Will the Liberal Republics na
Dot

This question is propounded by the Lexing.4
ton (Ky.) Observer, one of the Oldest and mostl
influential democratic papers in the State
Referring to the platform adopted at the Gin
cinnati and Baltimore conventions, the Oh
seruer affirms that it embodies the sentiments
held by a majority of the whole people, and
that SO far as the democracy is concerned it is
bound by that platform. In regard to the
liberal republicans it advises them to remain
as they IRE and be just what their name indi-
cates-liberaf republicans. Let them perfect
their party organization and attract to them.
selves all republicans who desire ON honest and
just government. If the democracy hopes for
success it must become just such party.
'1t must" continues our Kentucky con-
temporary, encourage immigration and throw
the protection of law around every citizen; it
must provide better educational system for
white children where the old one is deficient,
and secure educational facilities to the blacks;
it must advocate internal improvements, and
must nominate its best men for Office, without
considering whether they served in the Con-
federate or Union army, or in any army at all"
If the democratic press and people make the
party what it should be there will be no longer
any such question as ''What will the liberal
republicans do?" Would it not be little
interesting in this connection for some one to
show what the liberal republicans have done
besides making pretty general failure all
round the political compass2

The LONDON Globe, having carefully read
the reports of the Tweed trial, concludes that
all American politicians seem in q hurry to
get rich and are not over-scrupulous as to the
means. The English editor was sorely puz-
zled at first over the system of bookkeeping
by which Woodward and Garvey made the
Court House account cover the cost of the
modest residences of Tweed, Connolly and
Roche, as well as liberal allowance for lobby
and election expenses. Now that he has mas
tered the intricacies of Tammany double-entry
figuring, it is to be hoped our English critic
finds himself prepared to grapple with the
distractions of Congressional Credit Mobilier
stock speculations, and that ON attentive
consideration of the cases of Colfax, Kelley
and their companions will correct the unfa-
vorable impression he has hastily formed
of the honesty of our patriots.

The PRESIDENTS CONFIDENTIAL MESSAGE
ON THE MEXICAN TREATY, sent to the Senate
to show the necessity for ratifying the treaty
with Mexico, now before that body, and ex-
tending the stipulations of the treaty under
which the United States and Mexican Joint
Claims Commission was organized, is timely
and sensible document. The President sees
the difficulty Mexico has labored under during
the troubles and transition period of the war
against foreign imperial usurper and the
establishment Of the Republic in regular form
under the Presidency of Lerdo de Tejada, and
wishes to give the Mexicans every opportunity
to strengthen their government and do justice
to the United States. He would not be unne-
cessarily exacting, but would give the needed
time to adjust the claims between the two
countries. We commend this kind considera-
ton of General Grant and hope Congress will
act in conformity with it, but at the same time
it should not be forgotten that our Mexican
neighbors are apt to be very procrastinating
and litigious about money obligations or any
other claims upon them. Give them reason
able time, but insist upon settlement. That
is the only policy to pursue toward Mexico.
