A NEW STATE IN THE SOUTHWEST. Con
gress may prepare for new sensation. We
have Sambo on the floors of both houses of
our national Legislature, and now our red
brother "Lo' is preparing to take a seat beside
him. At the grand council of all the tribes of
the Indian Territory, now in session at
Okmulgee, it has been determined to unite
together into a confederation, adopt consti-
tuition republican in form, and in due time
apply for admission as one of the States of the
Union This is the true solution of the Indian
question. Education and civilization will soon
effect what bullets and bayonets in a fifty years
war have failed to accomplish-the subjugation
of the savages Of The Plains.

TEXAS OCCASIONALLY evinces a little of her
old-time Gnte-5eIs1tm spirit. At Ell Paso law
yer recently settled little 'unpleasantness'
with State Senator by shooting him. The
lawyer then fed, followed by the district Judge,
who was easily despatched with the aid of q
shotgun. After these exploits it is to be sup
posed the lawyer would have been elected to
Congress without opposition ; but Texans have
become degenerated; contact with Yankees
has dispelled that chivaric spirit which for
merly animated them and instead of receiving
an ovation The lawyer, in turn, was shot and
killed by policeman. E Paso claims to
be the mcdern Eden, but evidently such
careless use of firearms by the citizens is not
conducive to long life.

WINTER AT LAsT.-The first and best
evidence that winter has fairly come at
last-apart from blue noses and frozen
fngers--is the news from cup the Hudson"
that this lordly river is blocked with ice
above the city of Hndsou, and two steamers
the st. John and the Daniel Drew-were hard
aground yesterday. This is very early in the
season for an ice blockade. A month later
than this last year the river was open to
Albany and the navigation all right. We have
just emerged from long spell of delightful
weather, more like spring than December.
The weather, however, has not been very
healthy. What nature bestows in one way
balmy air AID bright skies-she is apt 10 make
Offset for in liabilities to cold and intermit-
tent fever. The cold season, upon the thresh-
old Of which we are now, may bring us all
better health. This is Christmas week. The
next Sabbath will he a double festival. In
view OF this fact and the severity of the
weather let us think of the poor, who,
although they are 'salways with us" appeal
more tenderly to our sympatbies at this holy
season than ever.

Apropos of love OF religious liberty, the SER
mon delivered by Rev. Mr.. Hugo was curious
illustration of the difference between my
doxy" and ''your doxy." The reverend gen.
tleman described in eloquent language the
tyranny of the Catholic Church, and wound up
with display Of his love Of religious freedom
by declaring that ''as for himself he challenged
the right of Catholic to be elected to the
School Board" DR.. Bellows was more gene
rous in this regard. He discoursed on the
blessings Of civil and religious liberty, without
making any exceptions. AT the Church of the
Messiah Mr.. Hepworth declared that belief in
a Deity was natural to man, whereas atheism
was the product of civilization. He thought
there was tinge of atheism in modern
science, but he believed it would not outlast
the present inquisitive generation Rev. Mr..
liness, showing that the divinity of Christ must
not be doubted. AT the Christian Free
church Rev. Mr.. Foote enlightened his
congregation on the mission Of the Saviour,
and Rev. Mr.. Tracy, at the Church of the
Holy Trinity, preached on a similar subject.
Mr.. rockingham lauded the Pilgrims, admit
ting that they were not the most tolerant of
beings, and alluding to their marrying with
out priests" In the Catholic churches the
usual impressive masses were said. Father
Preston delivered lecture on the meaning and
power Of indulgencies; Father Carney dis
coursed on true contrition, urging his hearers
to prepare themselves for Christmas Day !;
Father Spencer described what true happiness
is, and Bishop Loughlin dscoursed ably on
the duty of parents and children to each other
and to God.
In Brooklyn Father Beecher appeared in
melodrama, with comic character in it. He
anatomized repentance SO skilfully that the
pious who attend Plymouth church shed tears
by the gallon and lavished smiles by the
e-alternately, of course. DR.. McCosh
preached eloquently on ''the blood Of the
Lamb, and at the other churches the sermons
were more or less good. In Jersey City,
Washington and elsewhere the religious prov
ender provided for famished souls by the cler-
gymen was of the usual kind, and not the less
palatabe because it was, in most cases, an
old dish.

JERSEY CRY FINANCES are in sad muddle.
A large amount Of taxes due remain uncol-
lected, and as consequence the city credit
suffers, the bonds being below par. To make
matters worse, the Treasury is empty and the
banks, which have already advanced the cor
poration one hundred thousand dollars, refuse
further accommodations. This state of affairs
has by no means soothing effect upon
the tempers of the City Fathers, whose
visions OF fat jobs and plethoric purses
are thus ruthlessly blasted. At the last meet
ing of the Council two members, becoming
irate over the subject, were with difficulty
restrained by the chairman from settling the
dispute according to the rules Of the prize
ring. Jersey politicians have peculiar notions
Of finance and legislation which honest and
peaceably inclined communities will not deem
advisable to emulate

More EOnnicides.

The police records Of every morning fur
wisdom in asking the Legislature that more
power should be invested in the judges Of our
criminal courts to punish homicide with
heavier sentences. AS the law now stands
the judge is restricted to a sentence Of two
years in the State Prison for shedding human
blood where the verdict is manslaughter in
the third degree, while in cases of larceny he
can send the prisoner up for term of four
years or from that to twenty. The Recorder,
in view of the increasing use of the knife and
pistol in this community, thinks (and very
properly that human life should be better
protected by the enforcement of heavier
penalties.
The two last cases of probable homicide,
reported yesterday morning, are of very
shocking character, and WILL probably-if
they have not already done so-result in
death. One poor wretch was picked up in
the street with fifteen knife wounds on his
person. The other victim Of brutal violence
was knocked on the head with a bottle while
engaged in barroom brawl, and had his
skull badly fractured. We say nothing of the
minor cases Of cutting and manning coming
to the knowledge of the police; but il is noto-
rious that their name is Legion. II is evi-
dent, then, that the reform which Recorder
Hackett recommends has become necessity,
and we hope that the Legislature will attend
to it as one of their first acts after the session
opens in January.

Pulpit laudations of the Pilgrim Fathers are
by no means unknown to the pious where New
Englanders meet in prayer. In point of fact
it is part Of the religious creed of all good
natives Of the Eastern States to occasionally
review the history of their forelathers, from the
landing at Plymouth Rock to-we must write
il In spite of its Irishism-the passage Of the
reconstruction laws. Yesterday Mr.. Merrill
Richardson, at the New England Congrega-
tonal church, delivered a first class puff of
his own and his hearers Puritan forefathers.
In the course of his remarks he alluded to the
fact that ''by blunder or treachery of the cap
tain they Ohe Pigrims) were landed hundreds
of miles north, and thus New York escaped
being the haven of the Pilgrim Fathers;" and
he Immediately added
There's divinity that shapes our ends,
R0ugh-hew them how we Will.
And fortunate circumstance it was for the
Dutch that the divinity did not shape the
ends of the Pilgrims Manhattanward. In
another part Of the sermon the preacher
declared that ''they loved freedom and hated
despotism, both in Church and State" Per-
haps they did, but they had a queer way of
showing it to everybody who did not agree
with them religiously and politically Further
more, Mr.. Richardson said that ''they
lived in peace with other colonies and with
the Indian tribes" If he calls a war of forty
years, ending with the determination of the
poor savages, living with them in peace, we
cannot conceive what his idea of discord is.
The fact is that the unfortunate Indians must
have felt like doing towards the Pilgrims as
the poet felt when he wrote

ambitious to be President in his own right,
and made very good fight for the whig nomi
nation of 1852, though General Scott was too
much for him. In 1856, hswever, failing to
get the republican nomination, Fillmore ran as
the candidate Of a third party, and had his
satisfaction thereby in the defeat of Frem ont.
In 1860 the squabble among the democratic
leaders, which broke up the party and brought
on the Southern rebellion, never would have
happened had such a man as Jackson held the

movements are aimed at Grant, and, as third
party Is the most convenient stepping-stonc to
the regular opposition party, we have these

then, Il the policy of General Grant as the
recognized head, representative and candidate
of the republican party? 1t is clearly the
policy Of General Jackson, the simple military
policy of cutting off all mutineers from the
recognition of the administration. From all
we can learn this policy has been adopted in
the case Of Schurz; but why not apply the
bowstring as well to Fenton and Sumner,
