The retiremont Of Mr.. Doody from the Presi-
dcncy Of the Toledo, Wabash & Western Rail
road, aud tho election Of o Tracy Board Of
Directors, indicates very probable change in
tho policy Of that Company. Hitherto tho
Wabash las boon tho 1argeBt fcodor Of the Lako
Shore Railroad. Tho election OF minority Of
Directors who nro also interested in tho Canada
Southern Iapilroad, suggests d transfer Of tho
business uia tho Canadan line. By this route
the Distance betwoon Toledo and Buffalo ia
considerably shortened aud easy gradients Sc
curod, the only drawback being tt.o delay and
Inconvenience Of forryug acroas Detroit River.
Tie carrying out Of this programme might lift
tho Canada Southern out Of its difficulties and
onablo 1t to mako tho connections with Chicago
and Detroit at an carly date. Nfoantimo 1t will
be interesting to noto how ex-Seoretary Cox
succeeds in tho new rolo of railroad President.

We print elsewhere much-trumpotod article
frou, tho Now York Tribune demanding M
extra session Of Congress- to provide for tho i'm
mediate resumption Of apoeio payment. It
olrors no plan for tho consideration Of Congress,
howovor, but places its trust in the superior wis
dom Of Gen. Grant and tho Administration
party. This comes like darkne5a in tho light
rather than light in tho darkness. Tho occasion
is undoubtedly n good ono for tho Republican
party to rostoro public confidence, not only In
the financial system Of tho country, but in itself
as Tho governing party. But We fear that tho
occasion will DO permitted to 20 by unimprosod,
as SO many othors have boon. As regards tho
return to specie payment, tho Tribune las
Baid nothing that is calculated to help either tho
Republican party or the country out Of the ON
barraasment. It las simply printed Hopho-
morical article On tho subject.

Tho Philadelphia Press, as will be Been in its
article published in another part Of this paper,
clamors for Tho Government to MD in tho COM
plotion Of tho Northern Pacific Railroad. Tho
proposition is simply infamous ut this timo.
Tho present responsibility Of tile Government
for tho undertaking, with it's kindred evils, is
limited to the making Of the enormous land
grant which constituted tho objective point Of
tho enterprise, tho only terminus. in point Of
fact, that the railroad is likely to have for somo
time to come. Every additional encouragement
to proceed with tho work would DO an additional
responsibility and in Wow of the recent collapse,
a now sin. However great the deception l,aa
boen, and however soyoro tho resultant autror-
inga may provo 10 be, thero ia no call upon tho
Government to atone for the Hins Of others, or
assume the guardianship Of those who havc boon

Of aomo magnitude, which has lately excited
considerable feeling in that State. and has hero

IN tho year 1868, Congress- paaaod m act

from Fort Loavenworth, south through the
State. in tho direction Of Galveston. The pro-
jeoted road was the ono since built and known
ss tho Lcayenworth, Lawrenco Il Galveston
Railroad. The grant was to take effect upon the
doanto location Of tho line of tho road, aud my
of tho lands which tho Government might pre-
viously hayo a1icuatod were to be made up to tho
Stato from other Government lands lying along
tho line Of the road. At tho time Of the passage
Of this act, tho Usage Indians owned q large ros-
orgntion III the aouthern part Of Kansas, through
which tho projected road was to paaH. Upon the
samo day that tho act granting lands to tho
State in aid of building tho road was passed, an-
other act was passed authorizing tho President
to proceed to mako treaties with tho Indians in
KanHas, aud to oxtinguiHh thoir titles. III ao-
