Hard Times i'm India.

1t is not only the fall in the price in silver
which causes the hard times and severe COM
mercial depression in India. They are just
discovering there that opening new channels
for commerce, though sure to be profitable
in the long run, is equally sure to make
trouble at first. The Suez Canal has proved
disastrous to many mercantile enterprises in
India. 1t has derangcd long established
customs and routes, has changed prices, and
for a time no doubt it will cause much vexa-
ton. So the extension of the electric tele-
graph has necessarily altered the manner in
which hundreds of prosperous old mercan-
tile houses have been accustomed to
plan their ventures 1t may comfort
them there to know that we in America
have undergone similar experiences; indeed,
San Francisco has hardly yet recovered from
the hard times consequent on the compile
ton of the Pacific railroads. This was cele-
brated in California as one Of the most i'm
portant events of the century; but for a time
it half ruined the merchants of San Fran
CISCO These had for years before imported
their goods by sea, and supplied from their
warehouses the great commerce of the coun-
try lying eastward as far as Utah. But
when railroad trains began to carry freight
across the plains Chicago captured ut n
blow the trade Of Utah, and all the East
ern cities competed with San Francisco

Next United state. senate.

The terms Of twenty-five United States
Senators expire on the 4th Of March, 1877.
They are Messrs Goldthwaite of Alabama,
Norwood of Georgia, Logan of Illinois.
Wright Of Iowa, Harvey of Kansas, Steven
son Of Kentucky, Morrill, Cor rather Bluine)
of Maine. Boutwell, of Massachusetts,, Ferry
Of Michigan, Window of Minnesota, Alcorn
of Mississippi, Hitchcock of Nebraska,
of New Jersey, Ransom of North Carolina,
Kelly Of Oregon, Anthony of Rhode Island,
Robertson of South Carolina, Cooper of
Tennessee, Hamilton of Texas, Johnston
Of Virginia, Davis of West Virginia, and
Howe of Wisconsin.
Of these nine are democrats, who will,
without doubt, be succeeded by democrats
Clayton, West, Alcorn and Robertson, re-
publicans, will almost certainly be replaced
by democrats I; the vacancy now existing in
Louisiana will be filled by a democrat, and
Hamilton Of Texas, Independent, has a
stands forty-two republicans, twenty-nine
democrats and two independents, the
change above noted would, if no others were
made, leave it very nearly balanced-thirty-
eight republicans, thirty-tive democrats and
one independent. But the following States
also elect new Senators this winter:-Illi-
nois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hamp-
SHIRE New Jersey, Rhode Island and Wis
consin. OF these, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
and perhaps Michigan, are among the doubt
ful ones. If two of these should send dem
ocrats the Senate would stand thirty-six
republicans and thirty-seven democrats,
with one independent 1t will be seen,
therefore, that it is by no means impossible
that the next Senate shall have small
democratic majority. If the republican
managers continue to make arbitrary ar
rests in the South they will probably SO
greatly alarm the North as to fling even the
Senate into democratic hands.

Where IL Our .sTwid >"

Where is the Franklin and where is our
"Twid ?" Have they taken northwardly
passage from vigo, defying the tides and
winds, and are they now bearing down upon
us from the neighborhood of Cape Race, or,
as is more probable, have they dropped
down south Of the Azores, and are they now
coming up to US with the stream from some
point north of the Bermudas? Will they be
caught in the hurricane which, starting from
st. Thomas, has passed over the West Indies
and is following the course of the Gulf
Stream, threatening to strike Bermuda?
Will bowling winds and angry seas give
the captive "boss" some foretaste of the tenn
pest that awaits him in New York and re-
mind him that the way of the transgressor is
sea sickness preparing our returning
'Twid" for the lesser agonies of
an apartment in the Tombs and
cell in Sing Sing? Above all,
will the good ship franklin arrive safely in
port, will its lusty passenger turn out to be
in reality the missing ''boss." and will he
reach New York before the election? These
are questlons OF deep interest TO the polltl-
clans. The whispered rumor has gone forth
that Developments are to come with "Twid"
that will blow the democratic Presidential
candidate, Governor Tilden, out of water.
The illustrated papers have given us in ad-
vance pictures of Tilden's CONSERVATION at
Tweed's arrival. On the other hand we are
assured that Governor Morgan and all the
old Albany politicians are praying for ad-
verse winds and short coal for the Franklin.
Let us hope that our ''Twid" will be safely
with us within the next five days, SO that
Sheriff Conner's wish to get his hands once
more on his old Ludlow street boarder may
be gratifed, and the people may get at the
bottom of the startling disclosures which
the returning "boss" is said to be ready to
make.

The INDIAN CAMPAIGN.-The reports which
reach us this morning from the Indian
country do not show any well defined plan
of campaign for the winter, but they indi-
cate what is of much more importance-an
intention to deal sternly and vigorously with
the returning braves. General Crook, il
seems, is on his way to Red Cloud with his
command, and Colonel Merritt, the de-
parture of whose scouting expedition was
reported few days ago, is reported to be
moving toward the same destination by way
of Spotted Tail. These movements show
something like comprehension of the real
situation. The seat Of war now is on the
reservations and not in the hills. A little
honesty at the agencies and some severity
with the savages who are returning from the.
warpath is the only way to prevent useless
and disastrous campaigns like that of last
summer. It is refreshing to find SO much
sense in the management of Indian affairs at
last, and if the policy that is indicated in
our dispatches is faithfully pursued it
cannot fail to have the most beneficial re-
suits,

Not . Very Civil Answer.

In Louisiana, during the political cam
paigns Of 1872 and 1874, United States Mar
shal Packard caused the arrest of citizens in
different parts of the State, often at a great
distance from New Orleans and had them
brought to that city, where, being strangers,
they were unable to get bail, and often had
to lie in Jail for weeks. 1t is easy to imagine
that great inconvenience and suffering were
thus caused to persons most of whom were
never brought to trial, but were set at
liberty after the election. This was, in fact,
Mr.. Packard's way of intimidating demo-
cratic voters, many of whom ''took to the
woods, and lay in concealment for weeks
when it was given out that they were to be
arrested, though they were guiltlcss of
offence. This year the Democratic State Com
mittee apprehending that similar political
arrests would be made, wrote civil note to
the Attorney General of the United States,
requesting, MS matter of justice, that he
would give orders that persons arrested
should be brought by the deputy marshals
their place of residence. The request
seems reasonable enough and one would
think that Mr.. Taft would have at once given
notice Of compliance. But the answer,
nfter saying that circular letter of instruc-
tions has already been sent to the District
Attorney, adds only eft is not practicable
for the Attorney General to take charge Of
details incident to arrests in the various
States. He can do no more than give gen.
eral instructions, believing that the United
States officers in tho different localities know
their duty, and under sense of that duty
and their own responsibility are disposed to
perform H." If the Attorney General him
self happened to live five hundred miles
from New Orleans and happened to be ar
bitrarily arrested and carried down to the
city. to lie in Jail for want of bail while his

TO charge two one half cents Very respectfully
yours GEORGE l. TYSON
The case of the newsdealers is skilfully
stated in this letter. and from their own
point of view it may seem just. But they
seem to forget that the most important party
in this matter is not the middlemen who
stand between the HERALD and the public,
nor even the HERALD, but the public itself.
Our determination to give them a cheaper
paper is so obviously in their interest that
we are sure of their support. If they are
obstructed in getting the paper they prefer
through particular set Of middlemen they
will get it in some way. The appeal which
this correspondent makes to us to put the
price of the HERALD SO low as to cripple
or destroy its contemporaries is repugnant
to our sense of justice and to our uniform
treatment of other city journals The di-
versity of tastes in this great community
supplies field wide enough for all, and
nothing has ever been further from our
wish than such a monopoly as is here
suggested. The New York journals
are not tame patterns of one an
other; each has it's distinctive merits
and excellences which adapt them to the
wants of different sections of the public,
while there is also large class who read
several journals from wish to view events
in all the various lights in which they
can be presented. There is field
of usefulness and profit for all,
and the public is great gamer
by the honorable rivalry which is the best
stimulus to enterprise and excellence. We
have merely done little in advance what
all must soon do, and our correspondent
does not seem to consider that the
whole journalism of the city, as we'll as
the whole public. have ON interest identical
with that which is represented by the pres
ent action of the HERALD. It is inevitable
that every branch of business must yield to
the general situation which imposes q uni
versal reduction of prices. The HERALD has
taken this step after full reflection has taken
it neither too soon nor too late ; it will firmly
adhere to it because it is not freak of
caprice, but the acceptance of a new bust
ness situation which all classes and en-
ployments will be compelled to recognize,
and if any do not float down with the tide
they will be stranded on the shore as the
penalty of their obstinacy or want of fore
sight.

Progress Of the Hurricane and the
Western storm.

Progress Of the Hurricane and the
Western storm.
The latest advices from the Gulf and
South Atlantic coasts inform us that the
movement of the hurricane now in progress
has changed from westerly to a northerly
and possibly northeasterly direction, pro-
ducing strong gales and heavy rains on the
coast. These cyclonic disturbances rarely
pass far to the westward of Florida in de-
scribing their peculiar parabolic curves
from the tropical seas, that of September,
1876, being one of theslpw exceptions on
record. The present Sooen has evidently
been DETECTED from the coast, and is now
moving rapidly northeastward, and will pass
right across the track of outward and inward
bound European steamers. While the
storm centre is probably considerable dis
tance seaward the coast lines coming within
the circumference of the hurricane will suffer
in proportion to their proximity to the
centre. There is also probability that as
the hurricane approaches the high barom-
eter now moving off the New England coast
the force of the wind will increase consider
ably and as the barometric gradient grows
sleeper. In the West the storm area moving
toward us has assumed considerable proper
tions and is accompanied with much rain
and high local winds. The pressure at the
storm centre has fallen to 80 10 inches, and
consequently the atmospheric inflow is very
great, especially on the eastern side. Cloudi-
ness, with rain and an increased tempera-
ture, will be experienced in New York to-
day, due to the movements of the hurricane
and the storm in the West.

Water SupPly-Facts Wor

Worth

Our Water supply-Facts Worth
Noting.
The officials of the Department of Public
Works. who control our water supply, claim
that the storage capacity of the lakes in the
Croton watershed is greater than all the pos
sible demands of the city can exhaust. OF
this there can be no doubt if it is only pos
sible to utilize the quantity of water which
they contain when full. But, unfortunately,
the lakes are not full, nor can we draw on
their stored waters except to very limited
degree. The measure of their capacity for
the supply of New York is governed by
the levels of their several outlets. When
these are situated only few feet be-
low the surface it is of no service
to us if the basin below that level
contains billions Of gallons of water. Take
for instance a lake having an area Of one
hundred acres It's average depth, when
full, is, say forty feet, and the water it con-
tains equals 1,049, 796, 600 gallons. Now, if
the level of the bottom of the outlet is only
ten feet below the highest water level the
actual quantity of water that can be drawn
from the lake, as storage reservoir, will be
only 1852, 449, 600 gallons, or one-fourth the
entire quantity. The remainder cannot be
obtained without expensive pumping en-
gines. Here is an important consideration
worthy of public attention, as it furnishes
clew to the mysterious exhaustion of our
storage lakes in the Croton Valley. We
have been doing business on an imaginary
capital When we desire to draw on our
reserves they are beyond our reach. Is it
not time that thorough investigation
should be made of this vital question of
the water supply for New York before an
epidemic brings death to furnish us with
reliable facts and figures?

San Franciscans for time; but the wiser of
them saw that they could easily afford to

official report Of the United States Marshal
and the other private letter of an eye
witness. Between them it is not diff

impropriety of Charleston politicians at

Ohio and Indiana Congressmsn.


Indiana chose at the recent election four
democrats and nine republicans to Con.
gress In 1872 it chose three dem
ocrats and ten republicans. In 1874,
the year of the political tidal wave, it
chose eight democrats and five republic
cans. Leaving out 1874, when all the elec-
tions had exceptional results, it thus ap-
pears that the democrats still gain Repre-
sentative over the year 1872. 1t is notice
able that while the republican Congressional
majorities are generally small, and in no
case over $500, the democratic majorities
are in three districts over 5000. The four
democratic districts give their members
total of IS, 725 majority; the nine republican
districts give their members total OF only
II, $50 majority, leaving the democratic ma
jority on Congressman 6, 1856. The majority
for Williams, Governor, is 5, 119.
Ohio chose at the receLt election thirteen
republican and seven democratic Congress-
men. 1t chose in 1872 the same number on
each side. In 1874 it chose eleven repub-
licans and nine democrats Both parties
stand, as to. representatives, therefore, as
they did in 1872. The republican majority
by Congressional districts is 6, 326.
Compared with 1872 the democrats have,
therefore, gained this fall in the two States
one member of Congress. 1t is possible
that, had they put forward men of sounder
principles than Holman and Landers in the
districts now represented by these two, they
