LONDON. January 23.-An anti
slavery deputation waited on Earl
Granville to-day, for the purpose OF
urging the interference Of the British
government for effecting the sooiL
ton of slavery in Cuba. After the
views .and purposes of the deputa-
ton had been fully explained to Earl
Granville, he replied that according to
his opinion Spain had not acted in
strict confidence with the terms OF the
international treaty relating to the gov
eminent of Cuba. Those intringments
however, were certainly too grave and
important for unadvised discussion.
The question OF English interference
was also a matter to (which much i'm
portance was attached. Therefore he
asked that the deputation postpone It.
He had consulted his colleagues on the
subject, but he did not consider himself
justified in making the result OF their
deliberations pubic.

A Railroad I'm Hancock.

About two years ago, in an article
published in the Courier, we urged
upon the attention OF our people the
proprieiy of taking steps looking to
the building Of q railroad connecting
with the Panhandle road, at Holidays
Cove, and extending up the river, at
least 10 New Cumberland, and since
that time have frequently called atten-
ton TO the same subjecL We slll
think the project one OF much more
importance to the interests OF the
whole people OF the county, than Their
slowness to act in the premises would
seem to indicate. The advantages OF
railroads to the people of any section
of country through which they pass,
are so numerous and so well understood
nowadays, that we deem it needless
TO consume time in recounting them,
aud will content ourselves IN again
calling your attention tosthe subject.
We now feel more encouraged than
at any former time, seeing the spirit
manifested in the late action OF our
neichbors in Brooke county, by taking
hold with will. on theiPit,sburgh,
Wheeling and Kentucky road, and
aided in their efforts by Ohio county,
have demonstrated clearly, that when
there is will there is a way. This
road is no longer project 10 be talked
OF, but is as fixed q .sct as the Clevc-
land and Pittsburgh railroad, II
Brooke county people can afford

WHY cant we in Hancock also afford
one. Fit is Advantageous TO them, II

advantage and interest 10 have one.

TO the great Panhandle, and in much
less time than that employed heretofore
in talking on the subject, we will see
these facilities for manufacturing which
we possess, developed and utilized, and
never, until the end of time. can we
reasonably expect anything other than
the present condition OF things, unless
the people will move, and with the
same energy and determination. display

We have the cheering news from ID.

Whole on Legislative and Executive.

House went into committee OF the
Whole on Legislative and Executive.
Mr.. Garfield, Chairman Of the com,
mittee on Appropriations, remarked that
the revenues and their expenditures
might be almost wholly said to
be the whole Of the government OF
modern nations. The amount to be
taken from the people for revenue ana
the disposition Of the amount thus
taken seemed to be almost the whole
ofthe subject. 1t was the motive power
of government. The expenditures OF the
revenue was the grand level by which
all heights and depths were to be cal,
culated. 1t formed the best test OF
the healthiness, wisdom and virtue OF
government.
Mr.. Wood, of New York, charged
that the expenses Of the Government
were enormously increased. Ten years
ago it cost S3,O00,000 to collect imports
and now it costs 100000.
Mr.. Kellogg, Of Connecticut, said 1t
required only from 81, 100000 to $1,000
900, while the imports were vastly more
than ten years ago. -,
Mr.. Wood replied that it should cost
no more to collect Sl0000OOOO than
double that sum. The necessary
machinery already existed, and the cost
should not be increased.
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, defended the
Administration from certain charges OF
extravaganza thrown out by Mr.. Wood,
when comparing it with President
Buchanan Administration.
After further debate the House pro-
ceeded to consider the bill by sections.
Mr.. Monroe, of Ohio, moved to In
crease the appropriation for the salary
of the Chief Clerk of the State Depart
ment from $4,000 to $500.
Pending the debate the committee
rose.
Mr.. Young, of Georgia, submitted
the memorial Of Duff Green, which was
referred to the committee on Banking
and Currency.
Mr.. Townsend of New York, intro,
duced a bill to authorize the mail
steamship service between the United
States and Mexico. Referred to COM
mittee on Commerce.
The House, at 3:45, adjourned.

INDIANA.
Gas Explosion.

RICHMOND, IND, January 23.-Some
little excitemen; was occasioned in this
place about 6:30 P. NJ, by an explosion
OF the purifiers attached to the gas
works Of this city. The explosion were
distinctly heard in all parts OF the city.
The building in which the purifiers was
located was completely shattered. One
man, who was in the room when the
explosion took place, was considerably
bruised bat it is believed not fatally
burt. He retained sufficient presence
OF mind to shut of the gas, thus saving
a quantity contained in the gas metre
for the use of the city. The damage
will probably reach $4,000.

ST. LOUIS, January 23.-The Demo-

nomination OF Hon. James G. Blaine,
present Speaker OF the Lower House Of
Congress, for the Vice Presidency on
the Republican ticket. In ability, in
integrity, in general fitness for the posi-
ton, Mr.. Blaine ha. few equals in
public life at the present time. No
man can be said to have a claim on this
or any other office, but Mr.. Blaine
possesses qualifications which should

The action OF the President in with

to the Spencer carpet bag faction and

A very interesting and significant
Debate ON Amnesty
occurred in tie : nate to- Law. Morton,

ignore the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments, to pay for the slaves,
and to assume the rebel debt.

grampe for himself and his follow
ers to vote against any amnesty unless
Mr.. Summers bill went with it. Mr..
Thurman justly characterized Mr..
Morton's speech as the key note OF the
Grant Republicans for the ensuing cam
paign. They intend to continue to STIR
up all the base passion engendered by
the war, and for the sake OF a party
triumph to still keep the irons upon the
persecuted and oppressed people Of the
South.
The Hypocrisy OF Grant
is thus laid bare. While pretending to
be for Civil Service Reform and for
amnesty, his minions in Congress, at
his instigation, are resolved to strange
both. Thurman exposed the whole
scheme, and in a magnificent effort
scattered all OF Mortons supporters,
and pointed out that the principle
involved in Summers bill would pre-
c pi,ate the Government into anarchy

THE PROSPECTS FOR NOVEMBER.
A German Democratic prcd,c,,ou.

The New York Stats Zeitung, the lead
ing German Democratic paper in the
United States, of the November election
says:
If the Liberal" press did not endeavor
10 int ntionally deceive and belle itself
and its readers, it would, instead of insist
ing that the elections which have been
held were no measure by when estimate
the opinion of the people, and particularly
the result of the November elections, adj
nit the true state of affairs, which consists
in this The Republican party developed
u greater strength at these elections than il
has done for years, and the small detection
OF the Liberals is more than repaired by
Democratic votes, and the fusion party not
only has not become stronger than the
Democratic, but considerably weaker.
The prediction which we made as early
az the first part of May, that if the Grant
Greeley dilemma remained Grant would
not only be elected by a greater majority
than it 1868, but with so splendid q MAORI
ty as but few Presidents have vet received,
and that Greeley would prove one of the
most disastrously defeated residential
candidates known in the history of the

WHO WILL BE ELECTED.
some Figures From Chcaiham Papers.


The willy Narragansctt" Looming UP.
The Athens Post is for Cheatham, but
WINS is candid, innocent old soul and
wouldn't heartlessly awaken hopes in the
Radical breast, that he knew were to be
so soon dashed to the ground. Here are
his figures
In the aggregate vote of the counties
comprising lower East Tennessee-name-
ly, Loudon, Monroe, McMinn, Meigs,
Polk, Bradley, Hamilton, James, Marion,
Bledsoe, Rhea and Sequatchie-General
Cheatham will beat Mr.. Johnson at least
1000. Now, we have 1000 votes, or say
1000, in the rest of East Tennessee, to be
divided between them. OF this number
we think it is fully safe to say Gen. Cheat
ham will receive 1000, or one-third of the
larger figure, leaving Mr.. Johnson 5000
with which to enter lower East Tennessee,
where he is reduced 1000. SO that the
very best that we can do is to get him to
the top of the Cumberland 5000 ahead OF
Cheatham, where we are assured the lat
ter will meet him with majority of D.
600. We think these figures in regard to
East Tennessee are liberal towards Mr..
johnson.
But where is our old ante-bellum Wing
friend, Horace Maynard, all this time
What is he about? His more sanguine
partlSanS say UneN can give MN do,OuO
votes Will they do it? We think not
and that the estimate is too high by 5000
at least. Brownlow went out of East Ten
nessee at his last election with 10, 500 votes,
or 2,101 more than Wisener got against
Brown in 1870. Maynard's vote in East
Tennessee will not likely fall below 90
000-it may reach $4,000, or 1000 more
than johnson and Cheatham's combined.
We have no data as to Maynard's strength
in Middle and West Tennesse, but reason
ably infer that it will prove equal to
| Brownlow's last vote, which would run
him about 10000. One other remark--if
Maynard should get anything near 10000.
the man that beats him will have to beat
his other competitor at least 10000 votes.
We can't figure it out any other way, and
pass the slate to the reader for his. eXami-
