The white inhabitants, since they have purcha-
sed the lands have built railroads, beautiful cities,
towns and villages, and many fine, splendid resi-
dences, and greatly improved the whole aspect Of
the country. 1t does not much resemble the howl
ing wilderness it was then; but when all these
railroads, cities and villages shall perish and be
forgotten, what has been done for the Choctaws in
that region and beyond the Mississippi will be
seen and admired by unborn millions'of red men,
and by others who will be mere spectators OF this
great and noble work, so much blessed already by
the head of the Church.
The white inhabitants of this once Indian coun-
try have not been altogether forgetful of the in
terests and happiness of their own race. They
have erected schools and colleges, and built
churches and raised up faithful ministers, who are
faithful laborers in their Masters vineyard. Here
in Granada were two Presbyterian minister's and
know not how many of other denominations
Rev. Mr.. Richardson and his brother. One was
engaged in teaching and preaching rs opportunity
offered. That they were not drones may oe in
fcrrcd from the fact that both have been called TO
other fields of greater promise. One is now teach
ing some miles north of this, with bright pros
meets of uscfulness-the other to labor in an i'm
porant church in Memphis, Tenn. l saw one of
them in the General Assembly in Baltimore in
MAY last, and thought him an excellent man. There
are many other noble ministers in that country,
laburing zealously to build up the walls of Zion,
but there was something done by others into
whose labors they had entered. But in the other
case, those few self-sacrifcing men left homc'
dear friends and civilized society to commence in
the new-they dedicated themselves to God to
work in this particular field and l believe never
regretted the sacrifice they made with oil lis at-
tendant trials and privatOns. they bless God that
he called them to this important field, and gave
them 10 many tokens of his favor, and so abnn-
dontlv blessed their labors, while toing amidst
so many discouragements, while so few came to
their assistance But they looked for success to O
higher source for help, and they were not d1sap-
pointed b. H.

lently defeated John A. Griswold as
Governor of New-YOrk. They did 1t
through the instrumentality of just such
rufllans as Real. They are in power to-day
because the members of what is called the
Nineteenth Ward Gang" and twenty other
gangs are hired and protected and honored by
them. They hold possession Of the vast reve-
nues of the city. They are reyehng In
wealth by the aid of these scoundreis ana
DOW, to avert public indignation from them
selves, as the principals, they seize their min-
ions and ostentatiously deliver them up 10

We say nothing in extenuation Oh heai. we
have no confidence in O'Brien. He Is no pct
ter than the rest of his party. we think IL
proper to say, however that this sudden re-
form" is nothing more than the desperate en-
deavor of this corrupted ring OF Iammany
politicians to remain in power. BY all means
let punishment reach the men who have brought
the City of New-York to its present hapless
condition. But when tho time comes to punish,
let the public vengeance fall upon those who
have proftcd by these crimes, as well as upon
their miserable hirelings.

roYrPNUFNT PRINTING.

yo entirely agree with the Printing Commit
fee Of the House of Representatives that the
Government. so long rs it maintains large
and costly Printery, should do therein all the
work for which it has facilities, and not subsl-
die an outside establishment to print the daily
debates and proceedings in Congress. we trust
therefore that Mr. Elias bill, with proper mod
ifications, may become law
The first amendment we would suggest III
exorably forbids all tamperng with the reports
by Hon. members. Now, it is notorious that inc
renorted debates do not show what members
actually said, but what they, on cool reflection,
wish they had said, and regret that they diu
not say. The Hon. Mr. Jonquil rises and pitches
into the Hon. Mr.. Jobson as corrupt and mer-
cenary. The Hon. Mr.. Jobson rises and re-
spends that bis accuser is liar and scoun-
drel. whose reputation among those who know
him renders his enmity On honor ana his
calumnies harmless. The Hon. gentlemen be-
labor each other to their hearts contents thelr
brother members gathering about one or tho
other. and cheering them on to the fray like
pugnacious bulldogs. Next morning, an OBJ
server from the gallery of this encounter seizes
The Globe to see it reproduced in print ana III
blank amazement perceives that IL Is hoo re-
norted at all-that each slangwhanger has so
modified and suppressed his remarks that the
published debate is no more like the spoken
than sl<im-mik cheese is like mustard pas
ter. If the debates are to DO henceforth re-
ported and printed at the public cost directly,
we insist that we shall have them exactly as
they were uttered, save that the reporters shall
have liberty to correct the imperfect grammar
and suppress tho meaningless repettlons. AS
70 the speakers. make them keep their hands
off, Congressional scurrility will never be abated
till it is faithfully reported then 1t will be.
We object to the giving away of Six Thousand
Copies Of these debates. One thousand copies
are all that the Treasury should pay Tor, CIV
ing three copies to each Member, three TO the
President and each Head of Department, one to
each Head of n Bureau, the GeBeIa-in-Chlef oil
our Army, one to each foreign embassy, one
TO each Governor of State, and one to
the library of each State Legislature
with a few copies TO be preserved in
the libraries of Congress anu OF either
House, &c. These are all that should DO PAD
for out of tho public purse; but every cltl-
zen, company, library, athenGum, magazine,
journal, &c, should be invited to subscribe Tor
one or more copies, paying only the cost OF
their multiplication after the reports shall have
been made and put in type. Thousands of
copies would thus he bought and paid for;
nearly every European library of any value
would file the work; so that It would be bet
ter preserved and more widely accessible tlran
The Globe has ever boon. But it Is not fair
nor inst for the Government to print papers to
give away; for IL subjects those who live by
making periodicals TO unequal and unrighteous
competition.

OF New York 1t is better to regulate them
now than to wait until alterations will be diff
cult and costly. Fortunately, the coniguratlon
of the surface of Westchester County, the rise
and fall of the hills and valleys, are such that
the highways to the Northern part of the State
must run in such O direction as to be proi0n-
cations of the principal avenues oil the City.
1t will therefore be comparatively easy 70
adopt general plan for laying out the lower
Westchester towns that will meet all the re-
qurements of the future extension OF the City.
Beside the plan of the streets, and the tun-
nels and bridges, there are other matters Which,
REQUIRE very careful attention. The improve
ment of the channel, the regula OF PIERS
and bulkheads, and sewerage, are points In
which both sides of the river will have com
mon interest, and for which both must work
in concert. The water supply of Westminster
will also demand serious consideration 1t can
not all be drawn from the Croton, and II 1t is
to be taken from the Bronx and Saw-Mill
Rivers, as it probably Will be, ar
engagements for that purpose should be
made at once, before those streams are
occupied and defled by manufactures
II il not easy to see how all these measures can
he properly carried out unless New York and
its suburbs are consolidated under one metro
poltan government and the mapping out OF
streets, the sewerage, the Improvement OF the
rivers and barbor, and similar details, are en-.
trusted to commissions which shall have fuil
power not only over Manhattan Island but over
all those outlying districts with which it is so
closely connected by community of interest and
population. Let this be done, and New ork
| in the course of one or two generations VIII be
one of the grandest cities of the world.

We have not one word to say for or against
Mrs. Lincoln. But we do insist that the Nation
has not treated with generosity, or even with
bare Justice, the Widow of its martyred
President. Whether that lady makes an econ
omical or an extravaganza use of such means
as are left her-whether her conduct since
her terrible bereavement has or has not been
always in the best taste-are questions WIN
which, as we conceive, Congress has nothing 10
do. To fall to criticising the woman VINO was
left in our Executive Mansion WIDOW
by the murder of her husband in our service
is unbecoming people who have one
spark of gratitude for great services, OF oil
chlvalrous respect for great misfortunes. Yes
terday the United States, through the respec-
two officers concerned. reversed its former ac-
ton to give honorable burial to Abraham LIN
coins assassin, and cayalierly postponed con-
sderation of pension for Abraham Lin
coins widow to take up market bill.
We make no objections to the respect shown
to the natural feelings Of the assassin's family
but would it not look as well in History or
before other nations, if accompanied with just
leo Mt least, if not little generosity, to the
murdered Presidents familyf

TIE FUTURE or NEW- YORK.

The report of Mr.. Andrew H. Green to the
Commissioners of the Central Park, of which
We published summary the other day, contains
matter for q great deal of careful consideration,
in reference to the connection between New
York and Westchester County. The lower
part of Westminster is nothing but q suburb of
the city. and in very few years Will be an
integral part of the city itself. We must grow,
and We can grow only in one direction. Pop
ulation at the upper end of Manhattan Island
is rapidly increasing in density, and flowing
across the narrow strait which divides it from
the main land of the State; and the problem
in few years will be not how to furnish
quick transportation from tho Harlem River to
the busy parts of the city--for Harlem itself
will be in the heart of the busy quarters-but
how to unite the opposite banks of the stream
by avenues of uninterrupted transit. The inn
provement of He'll Cato must soon be followed
by the Improvement Of the Harlem River, and
tho present generation, we believe, will see
docks and warehouses all along the two shores
of this little stream,gwhich for commercial pur-
poses ia now almost useless. When this is
once done, the lower towns OF Westchester
will DO rs much part Of New-York City rs
if they were situated about Unon-square.
Now we shall have here, separating tho city
into halves, river eight miles long, through
which vast amount of commerce must
daily pass from tho Hudson TO the Sound
The opposite halves of London are
connected by ten bridges across the Thames
within distance Of three miles. Paris, within
distance of seven and half miles, has
twenty-six bridges across the Seine. As soon
as the shores of tho Harlem River are as
denscly populated as tho shores of the Thames
and the Seine, New-York will need at least
twenty-five bridges or other avenues for cross
ing into Westchester County Mr.. Green
thinks that on the high grounds near High
Bridge, suspension bridges will probably be
erected, and where the land lies low tunnels
will DO preferable. Draw and swing bridges
would offer too much obstruction TO navigation
The construction of bridges and tunnels may
be left for some time yet; but wo ought to
make provision for them at once; and
first of all we ought to see that
streets and roads on tho Wcstchestcr side
are opened with due regard to their future
uses. The plan Of Ncw.York has long been
fixed, and cannot DO altered The Westchester
towns have no plans, but are built as tho ca
price or cupidity OF land-own may dictate.
Yet it is as plain rs day that some time or
another the streets Of Port Morris, Mott Haven,
West Morrisania, Highbridgoville, Fordham,
Kingsbridgc, and other villages on tho north
side Of tho Harlem, must conform TO the streets

ARE I'VE REALLY BUILDING PACIFIC
RAILROADf

Is it not possible for Congress to ascertain
whether we are really building Pacific
Railroads. We read in our Washington
dispatches that Mr.. Chas. p. Huntington,
President of the Central Pacific Railroad, made
his appearance before q Committee OF Con-
gress, and testified that "the Union Pacihc
Railway Company is not making what the
"law requires frst-class road, but Is con-
(" structipg road with view of getting as
"many bonds as possible !" Mr.. Huntington
is q responsible man, and in making this state
ment he merely echoes an impression now gen.
eral throughout the country. We do not ex-
pect any relief from the Pacific Railroad Com
mittee, body which should take cognlzance
of the facts That Committee seems to be en-
trely in the interest Of the Credit Mobitter, its
Chairman, strange to say, being leading Pa
ciic Railroad man. We made bargain with
these Credit MoJilier people. which every
body admits to have been extravagant.
Having made it, we are quite content
to stand by it. What we insist upon
is that Congress shall satisfy the country that
in spending vast sums of money, and giving
enormous grants of land, the railroad is being
built in a proper manner, and will not have 70
be rebuilt at the expense Of the people. The
nation has its second mortgage to look after.
Congress owes this to the American
people, and to adjourn without insisting
upon such action will only lead to the sus-
picion that there is something more than
gossip in the statement of Gen. Washburne
"that half o million of dollars had been
"spent in the City of Washington by officers
" of the Pacific Railroad Company TO influence
legislation
While looking into the Union Pacific, it would
DO well for the Committee also to consider MIR.
Huntington's own railroad, the Central Pacific.
We publish communication in another column,
from California paper, which plainly says
that the Central Railroad, upon which so many
hopes for the good of California have rested,
is badly constructed, and badly managed.
cannot speak knowingly" writes this cor
respondent, :" of more than about 200 miles OF
this road, running east from Reno, but
will defy any man to match those 200 miles in
"the United States. The road is literally laid
ON the top of the ground; and while the
Company had the best valley through which
"to construct a first-class road that there is in
"the whole country west Of the Missouri River
"they have built the worst that could be con-
"structed and be q railroad at ALL" Now here
is a public statement which deserves attention.
Are ,e really building a Pacific Railroad
The country demands from Congress prompt
aud definite answer.

The Tax bill which passed the House last
night is what is left of the unusually elaborate
and carefully-prepared bill presented by Gen;
Schenck shortly after the Impeachment trlal
last Spring. In the exigencies of politics ana
legislation it has Jared badly but in the form
in which it has finally passed the House
it is capable, we trust, if fairly en-
forced, of adding many millions 10 'io

There remain thirteen working days to the
Fortietll Congress. The condition of the pub
lie business is unusually backward. Few OF
the appropriation bills have been passed. The
Tax bill has just worried through the House.
and the Senate has not yet seen it.
The reduction of the army is not
accomplished, and neither House has yet agreed
upon plan for it. The Civil Tenure-ot-
Office act question remains undecided.
Little has yet been accomplished in the way
of effective financial legislation, calculated to
appreciate the credit of the Government. And
after this week the best we can hope for at
the hands of Congress is the killing OF much
pernicious legislation that is sure to be crowded
upon it during the last days Of the session.
in view of these facts we ask Senators to
read the reports of their proceedings yesterday
and say what they think of themSelves'

Mr.. Mayor Oakley Hall is reported as testi-
flying on oath before the committee of Con-
gress which investigated the NewYork cleo
ton frauds that there was not an honest poll
tician in this city. Now, 1t is rule of evil
dence that testimony of a general and sweep
ing nature is to be accepted only to the extent
of the witnesses acquaintance with the subject
Our excellent Mayor cannot be supposed to be
acquainted with all the politicians of New
York, or even with o majority of them. But
he knows the late Democratic District-Attorney
perfectly, and second only to his knowledge OF
that politician is his intimate acquaintance with
the chief managers Of Tammany. On these
characters, as being entirely within the range
of Mr.. Mayor Halls personal knowledge, his
testimony ought to be indisputable.
