appeal was taken to the Appellate Court
which. to-day, reversed the action of
Judge Tuley on the ground that the ordi

not definitely prescribe the limits and was
therefore void. The effect of this decision
will not be to stop the egress of the road

XLvI CONGRESS.


| WASHINGTON, March 27.-The House
| went into committee ON the consular appro.
priation bill.
Mr. Black burn opposed the bill 10 It's
present shape. He desired the consular
| service enlarged, but not by aping royalty
and enIarging the present cost of the entire
| service.
| Mr.. Robeson asserted that the Ameri-
can diplomatic service has been as respec-
table and creditable as the world ever saw,
and contributed TO American progress. In
all records of our diplomatic history there
| is no nobler career worthier than that which
Washburne fulfilled when he was Ameri-
can Minister to the court of Paris. We
all know that when the war between Prus-
sia and France broke out the capital OF
imperial France was filed with the elite of
European diplomacy. The roll glittered
with historic names and was rich with the
blazonry OF arms and of orders. Amid
them all the unpretending name and sim
pie character of the American Minister
were not at that time likely to challenge
the attention of the thoughtless or proud,
but during the year of :that war, France
and Paris became the theatre of scenes
world, and tried the qualities of all who
were present or had part in them, and
when that year was passed there was but
one name in all that proud roll which
seemed to be written in letters of living
light. and which stood out to challenge
respect and command the admiration of
the world. He was at once the represeu.
tative of the liberal ideas of our govern
meDt and of the progress of our people, a
representative of liberty and of law, of
progress and of civilization. The forms.
traditions, courtesies. and secrets of diplo-
matte associations we're swept away amid
wild confusion, but he supplied arms, by
ideas and traditions, by action and courte-
sizes, by kindness and secrets. by courage,
until he was made to stand before the
nations amid the wreck of governments
and the ruins of society as the sole repre-
sentative of Christian civilization, while
the elite of European diplomacy was
dwarfed and belittied before the stature,
only lite sized. of American manhood.
Mr.. Orth defended the diplomatic and
consular system, which had met the ap-
proval of the government under every
Administrations
Mr.. Townshend. of Illinois, thought the
necessity for diplomatic service had entire
ly passed. Foreign missions were asylums

which Gen. Schenck had performed when

Grant VIII Not withdraw.

New YORK. March 27,-The Boston
AdCertiSer's positive dispatch that Grant
would withdraw stirred up all the Grant
men here and they have been making in
dignant denials all day. Ex Minister
Stougnton, a warm personal friend of the
exPresident, says there is not the slight
est probability that he will withdraw, end
he will undoubtedly accept the nomination,
if he gets it. Gen. Arthur declares it a
ruse of the opponents. Many RepubI-
clps, however, are inclined to believe it,
and are only too willing.
The Graphic, which is Grant paper,
says to day that, despite all that is con-
ceded in Grants favor, it is by no means
clear that he will be the nominee at the
Chicago convention.
A vell-intormed Republican says there
is nothing IN the rumor going around that
the friends of the ex-President propose to
take up Senator Edmunds. He is not the
man they would like. Conkling knows
Edmunds, and he knows Edmunds would
be as intractable as a mule,or a thoroughly
independently self-wiiIed man, if be were
President. Ii Elmunds ever gets into
the White House he will be the President
Of the whole country and of the whole
party. He will not be Senator's man.
