Railroad News.

Nashville American, 4th.l
General Manager Fred DeFuniak,
President james D. Portor and Cen
eral Superintendent j. w. Thomas,
held a conference yesterday, which
resulted in q termination to build q
union depot, where the CHATTANOOGA
depot now stands, to cost $4,000. 1t
will be a car shed, and will contain
four tracks for the use Of all the pas
senger trains Of the Nashville railroad
system. The present passenger depot
will be torn down and the Offices re-
moved to some central locality, con-
venient to the general business public,
and the work on the union depot
commenced in August and finished
before the close Of the present year.
The Chattanooga shops will remain
where they are, the building Of the
union depot not interfering with
them. 1t was originally contemplated
to utilize the nine acres, owned by the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railway, Just south oftbe Broad street
tunnel, for large shops, and this in time
will be done, the management de-
string to go slow and to make these
improvements gradually, and as the
necessities Of the Nashville system
may require. The fact that the union
depot is to become a reality will be
gratifying to the citizens of Nash
vile, and especially to the travelling
public, Is il will be a convenience
that has long been needed. The re-
moyal Of all the general Offices to some
central point, where they may be
easily reached, is another feature
which will meet with universal com
m~endation. This change has often
been talked about by General Super
intendent Thomas, and advocated By
him. The present depot, though il
may have been a wonder to the age in
which it was built, thirty years ago, is
certainly not now very creditable Ia
the big railroad interests Of Nash.
vile. Ii is 10 such a state OF decay.
that a good strong wind might at any
time completely demolish it. 1t could
never be made respectable by ans
amount Of repairs that might b,
placed upon it, and the sooner it is re.
moved the better.

To-day a sensation was caused in
political circles in this city by the an
nouncement that General A. J.. Pear.
son, a prominent attorney and repub-
lican leader, had decided TO support
General Hancock. A letter was sent
by General Pearson to U. s. Grant
to-day, in which he resigns his place
as the Pennsylvania representative on
the national committee Of the veteran
union boys in blue. General Pearson
is a popular politician, and his action
will influence many voters. He will
stump the state.
General Pearson is chairman of the
city republican committee, and has
not yet resigned, so that the republic
can forces in the Smoky City have a

HANCOCK AND MRS. sURKATT.
Some Interesting Facts in Regard
TO the Generals Course.
ST. Louis Republican,

81. Louis Republican,
In March last an editorial entitled
Hancock and the Catholics APP
peared in this paper. We transfer
the article to this paper for the bene-
6t Of several persons lately asking for
it. The Freemen's Journal and Cath
Ole Register having made an unjust
assault upon Hancock, we felt bound,
though advocating the nomination of
Mr.. Tilden at the time, to defend the
general by stating the facts as they
are. Since that editorial was written
the question has undergone a some
what remarkable change. Then it
was the leading organ Of the Roman
Catholic church in New York com
planning Of Hancock; net that Mrs.
Suratt was executed by the war de-
partment, for that, it admitted. he
could not help; but that he would not
obey the habeas corpus writ which
was served upen.him.
This allegation we showed to be
untrue. Now it is the radicals them.
selves arraigning Hancock because he
did not protect them against their own
wickedneSs or folly. Their elamor
runs in this wise: General Hancock
is a bad mana verybad man; because
when we, the yirtuOus and patriotic
radicals holt, Garfield 4 CO.., ON.
nipotent ia power and vengeance.
were about to murder an innocent
woman, he would not stop us. Such
is now the sweet and savory gospel
Of the great religious and moral
dailies which are the ornaments oil
our radical politics, as it we're; "aud
of such is the kingdom OF heaven"
This is the article:
HANCOCK AND THE CATHOLICS.
A late number of the New York
Freeman's journal and Catholic Reg.
lister contains an elaborate article with
the above heading. In many respects
it is just to Hancock. In a single
particular it is most unjust-uninten.
tionally, of course, for we cannot in.
dulge a thought that it would purpos-
~ say what is not true, to the preiu.
dice of any one. The article proceed,
to state charges which have beer
made against Hancock in the matteI
of Mrs. Surratt, and to set them asid,
in a perfectly frank and manly name
as follows 1t is absurd to suppos
that Catholics, as such, can have an,
prejudice against General Hancocl
growing out of that affair" 1t state
that, inasmuch as Hancock was know
at the time to have done everything il
his power to have a repreive for Mrs
Surratt, the wardepartment (Stanton
distrusted his readiness to do an un
laEfal bidding, and sent the order 10
the execution through the depart
ment % Gen. Hartrand. 1t say
that the priest who attended Mrs
EurTatt has repeatedly declared tina
Geo. Hancock extended him ever

Catholic that she vas hanged"
