THE Galveston Neaos, of the
18th, inst. has an editorial in
which the new directory of the
G., G. and S. F.railway, are ta-
ken severely TO task for what
they have MT done. They have
now been in office for three
months, and nothing has been
done. The salvation of Calves
ton depends upon the early
construction of this road. and
we feel patisfied that it will be
built. The tax payers Of that
city who have half million
dollars invested in the enter.
prise, demand that something
be done and that without any
further unnecessary delay.
