RAILROADS AND RAILROADS.

In the multitude of railroad schemes that have received the attention of the press and legislature of this Territory, during the past few mouths, not a single one presents as many conditions for successful issue as The Arizona Mineral Belt road. It is not enough that few men organize a company, get franchise and float stock; there must be practicable route, certain ty of business, and some guarantees for a return on the money invested. We have deferred giving the public any of the plan upon which the A. NJ. 5. Co. is organized, believing it to be a matter with which we have nothing to do, 90 long as it is honest. Of that we have perfect knowledge. We have not given street rumors, or tried to excite hopes in the communi- ty that might not be fulfilled. We do not believe in railroads that are built in newspapers, and run into the ground with editorial steam. Globe has not been our single care, when we have advocated the opening up of the country by means of tracks and loco motives, we Nave had always in view the country beyond. The business of this town, large and growing as it is, would not support a railroad or pay a dividend in a century, it is the stretch of country between here and the thir- ty-fifth parallel on the north, with its magnificent timber reserves, it's miles of coal lands, its wonderful wealth of gold and silver, copper and iron, lead and gypsum and asbestos and salt; its fertile valleys, its water power, it's herds of cattle and bands of horses that makes a paying railroad cer- tainty. From Globe to the south, too, to Benson where we would connect with the Sonora and Arizona road, all the conditions are in favor of a pay ing road.
 From it's very inception this scheme was an honest one. Mir. Eddy trav- elled over much of the route, and made himself acquainted with the possibilities of the country. He was enthusiastic when we older settlers thought railroad a chimera. His industry and faith have been reward ed, and he has now associated with him in his enterprise men whose names are as we'll known in railroad circles as are those of Tennyson or Holmes in literature. We have faith in the men who are prosecuting this enterprise, and confidence in it's results.

Peter Cooper, one of the grandest possibilities of American institutions died in New York, last week. A man born in the lower walks of life, who rose to be a King among men. A philanthropist in the best sense of the term. A man whose money was spent for the elevation of the masses at home, and not the heathen abroad. Thurlow Weed and he were cotempo- rary; but while the former had in. fluence upon the political life of a party, the latter had it on the intellec. tual life of the nation. He will be remembered for his benefactions when Weed will be forgotten. 4 few months ago, the writer was at a meet ing in New York where Evarts, Robert Collyer and others spoke and where Gen. Hancock, Gov. Cornell and Peter Cooper were in the audience. The appearance of the latter elicited such burst of applause as no other man in the United States could bring forth. "The good that men do live after thcm.' The quotation is applicable to Peter Cooper,

We gave, some time ago, the state- ment of a perfectly reliable gentleman of this town, that he saw Indians buy ing ammunition in the store in Tue son, in which the mayor of that town is an owner; that he called the may ors attention to the fact, and that that individual told him that if he "did not sell others would" Not a Tucson paper noticed it. When the Indian fiends commenced their killing, they (the Tucson editors) held their hands up in holy horror and cried lustily for vengeance, while every bullet that sang a white mans requiem, came from a Tucson store. Is a merchant of that town superior to the law? Is public opinion, there, dead? Do tho papers use the mantle of their charity, only to cover up the avarice of their patrons?

We received the telegraphic information iu advance of its publication in this Territory, and would not bulletin il or publish it till we had wired back to the Western Union to find out if it was not a mistake.

 The Prescott papers think "the ac tion of the legislature in adjournine without doing something to protect the border,' wrong" The United States own the Territory. The pros pectors have won,it and given it tc the nation, and the latter should pro. tect it. If, however, the Legislature had voted the money ($12,0OO which was given to the Prescott papers, to a company of rangers it would have been better all around. The "border' might have been protected, and the Prescott editors might have felt easier in their consciences.

straightenins the Ministers.

Minister Windes preached to good house, last Sunday evening. He say' that we ought to straighten the min. isters out as we'll as Wilcox and Crook.
 We'll do it. We are moral educate, or nothing. Our sermons arc shor, and pithy. We never call sulphur. cited hydrogen, cologne; drunkenness gastric fever; stealing, kleptomania or bigotry, the spirit of Gods good. ness working on mems opinions. We do not care solitary continental for the creed a man ties to; we do for the course he pursues among his fellows We belive that lives are more eloquent than ungrammatical platitudes, chant. ed over church reading desk with a bible pounding accompaniment. Ev. cry man is preacher in one way or other, and the ablest are not those whc do it for money We have heard as noble sentiments coming from vocal organs that were clasped by a woolen shirt collar as ever came from the white-chokered throat of priest or minister. We believe in the good in. fluences that churches exert in com. munity, in nobility ofcharacter, purity of life, and the grand mission of the "salt of the earth"-editors. We be- lieve that no man, be he Indian Agent, General, or Secretary of the Interior, or minister of the gospel, is so high that he cannot be tumbled from his pedestal when he does, wrong. We believe in "straightening everybody out" and feel grateful when the kinks arc taken out of ourself.' We believe ito use the language of the litany-- Gin the forgiveness of sins" in every case but,that of lying, thieving Indian Agents, general whose incompetency makes him an .abettor of murderers, an editor who stiles his honest convic- tions for money, mining man who robs the public with Blue Jay stories, or a minister whose bigotry sees no way to God except through the door of his own church. That is our creed {; even minister Windes cannot discount it much.
