ARAILRoAD FIGHT OUTSIDE OF CONGRESS-
New YORK, April 14,-rrOuble is threatened
on the new railroad between ElizabcthpOrt and
Perth Amboy The board of directors, in ac-
cordauce with agreement with the Pennsylvania
Central railroad, contracted for building the
road and bridge across the Raritan river at
Perth Amboy. When the contractor began
work, a force of men appeared on the road I'M
der order of John Taylor Johnston, stock
holder and formerly connected with the man
agement, and disputed the right to construct the
road with other laborers. They were ordered
off the line by the president of the Elizabeth
port and Perth Amboy Colonel Jones) and
obeyed the order, but again returned in force,
and a slight disturbance ensued Both parties
have been largely reinforced, and trouble is i'm
minent. The management claim that Johnston
has no authority for his conduct.
PLACED IN THE WRONG CATEGORY.
EX-GOv. Newell of New Jersey, who has been
quoted as an anti-GTant man, says in letter
addressed to a friend here: "There is no truth
whatever in the rumor that am to be delegate
to the Cincinnati convention. 1t is my intention,
of course, to support without hesitation the
nominee Of the republican party, be he who he
may. There is no doubt, from present indica-
tons, that Gen Grant will again be presented
as our candidate, and if SO, think he cannot
fail of election, as he will 70 before the people
with a record for integrity of purpose and econ
omy in the administration of governmental
affairs which cannot fail to commend him to
their support, while his ancient renown as he
great chielt0in who rescued the country from de-
struction in its hour of mortal peril will serve
to swell the number of its adherents and replace
him in the executive chair by triumphant vote.
Such | sincerely hope will be the result, emf
nently due to Gen. Grant as a soldier and states
man."
