There is bill before Congress to authorize
the bui1ding Of , bridge over the Mississippi
River at Memphis, and st. Louis is in a11as.
st. Louis complains that the navigation Of the
xiTer above St. Louis Las been ruined by
bridges and that when the bridge at st. Louis
WAS built, sit Was understood there was never
to be any bridge built below that city," During
the debate, there WIS one sensible member who
made the suggestion that the river should be
bridged at every available point all the way
down to New Orleans. Unless it is intended to
make the Mississippi River sort Of boundary line
separating the country into two distinct peoples,
whose intercourse must be carried On exclusively
BY the means Of ferry boats, the sooner the river
sbridged at every point where bridge is needed,
the better it will be for the people aud States On
both sides Of the river and for the country gen.
erally. If anybody il willing to spend the money
to build bridge at Memphis, or anywhere else,
let him do 1t. The prosperity and settlement OF
the whole country west Of the Mississippi River,
south Of Cairo, could.'not be more prodtably pro.
noted than by constructing bridge ut every
eligible site, and the man who Offers to build
such bridge ought to bo regarded "a public
benefactor.

The Court Of Common Pleas Of Philadelphia,
d few days since, refused the application Of the
Credit Mobi1ier to wind up its affairs The
Credit Mobiier petitioned for the decree Of dis
solution under the act Of 1856, on the ground
that since July; 1868. the corporation has trans-
acted no business. The Court based its refusal
upon the ground that the Government claims to
be creditor to = largo amount, that Congress
has directed the employment OF counsel for the
prosecution Of the claims, and that tho Court
had no right to embarrass the action Of the Gov
e1nment By declaring the Credit Mobiier out Of
existence. Tho final statement Of the Court
is one which Will give universal satisfaction, and
Is admirable for the concise manner in which the
mil is hit upon the head. The Court says
It This corporation should be compelled to con-
tinue to live, and stand in it's proper place un-
til It mny be made clear, beyond reasonable
doubt, TINT without prejudice to the public vel
fare or tho interest Of the corporation-and ne
raa5 add that Of it's crcditors-we may safely
giyo to it the death which it desires to die BY
Our hands." There is grim humor, as well as
great Justice, in this decision Of tha Philadel-'
phia Court. The Credit Mobile1 should not be
allowed to escape puniahment by committing
suicide, aud quietly dropping into the grave
it has prepared for itself.

There ia another break-out OF moral feeling at
Washington concerning the Mormons, and even
those who have had dealings with Oakes Arnes
are keen1y alive to the necessity Of purifying
Brigham Young. Accompanied by Chaplain
Newman, Committee visited President Grant
and laid before him full statement Of the i'm
mora1ities OF the Mormons. It seems that those
Mormons living in Montana did not vote for Mr.
Claggett, the present Delegate from that Terri
tory, and he was defeated; 50 Mr. Clag-
gett has resolved himself into missionary
to e1terminate the Mormons by fire, sword,
and act Of Congress. 4 bill has been prepared
which snrpasaes the Ku-K1ux legislation, and
it is proposed 10 make the end justify the means,
and to deal out to the Mor1nons law differing
from the law made for other people. This kind
OF business WAS tried two years ago, and Brig
ham Young and several others we're convicted
and put in prison under Judicial DECISIONS which
#ere overturned and set aside by the unanimous
Judgment OF the Supreme Court. Some people
seem to be unable to understand that there are
things, evils even, which an act Of Congress can
not remedy.

There is an evident disposition in Congress to
delay action with regard to the members who
shall be proved to have had guilty connection
with Credit Mobilier. It Is reported from Wash-
ington that the privileges OF members, includ-
ing, notably, the question whether members can
be held accountable for acts done ns members
of former Congress, will occupy discussion Of
ten days or two weeEs before the main point, as
to what the report shall he, be reached at all.
The appointment Of al Investigating Committee
by the Senate at this late day is another eyi-
dance OF the same disposition to delay. 1t would
hare. been usual to call upon The House
Committed to certify OYER to the Senate the
evidence that had come before them concerning
Senators. The Senate could then have taken
direct recognition Of the caseH. Congress will
make serious mistake If this attempted evasion
Of quick and summary punishment for Credit
Mobilier frauds shall be encouraged The people
OF the country are not in any mood to tolerate
trihing. Whateyer is to be done by Congress in
this matter must be done openly and energeti-
ca1ly. Any procrastination or whitewashing will
inevitably be construed as confession that
majority Of Congress Is corrupt to such a degree
that it dkre not meet the Credit Mobiler's 1eve-
1ations squarely.
