The Political Caldron at Washington.
CHICAGO, February 26th-The Inter
Oceans Washington special says Full re
ports received from New York to-day hav,
somew hat dulled the spirit of the Grant en-
thusissm, but his friends here are hopeful a
ever. They claim that Illinois and othel
great States will follow New Y ork, when tn,
time comes, but by much larger majority
The Grant majority in New York was les
than his friends here expected, but they art
assured of a unit in the first ballot, and thi!
Is ali they claim to be necessary. They argue
that Grant viii be chosen on the first ballot
AT the Sherman headquarters to-day there
has been great activity in answering Letters
and distributing documents. An intimate
friend of Secretary Sherman says the Secre
tary IS not at all discouraged by the outlook
in New York.
| At the Blaine headquarters there is an &C
tiyity and hustle equal to that which prevails
at the Sherman club-rooms.
Inc Grant men have no headquarters here
and Will have none. They claim that moth
ing of the sort is necessary till after his nom
lnation, which they predict is certainly tc
take place.
Senator Blaine has returned from New
York. 1t is said he told his friends he was
not disappointed over the result, because he
expected 1t. He advises his friends to make
bitter fight against Grants friends. at the
same time to honorably and vigorously press
! his claims before the Convention. Blaine's
friends do not agree that Grant is to have a
waik.over IN Illinois, or any Western State,
| but the Grant men are very sanguine.
1t Is understood that General Garfield will
make two or three speeches in Northern Ohio
IN reference to general politics and the Presi-
DENTAL question.
The Colorado Telegraph War.
DENVER, February 26th.-The contest be-
tween the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and Mr.. Goulds new telegraph com
pany commenced here to-day. 1t has been
announced that the American Union would
supplant the Western Union Company on
the Union Pacific roads, but it has not trans
PRED how this was to be effected, in view of
existing contracts. It seems that the West
ern Union Company discovered that large
telegraph batteries were being secretly erected
in the office Of the Kansas Pacific Railroad,
and that anew line of telegraph was covertly
constructed from these batteries to point in
the central part of the city, and that
by coup d'etat tho whole tele-
graph lire from here to Kansas City could
be seized and controlled by connecting it
with the new batteries, and the Western
Union dispossessed. To prevent the consum-
nation OF any such act the Western Union
Company last night filed its bill in the Dis
trict Court of Arapahoe county against the
American Union Telegraph Company and
the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company, APP
plying for an injunction, which was granted
this forenoon by Judge Elliott The injunc-
ton restraints the Kansas Pacific Railroad
Company from permitting the American
Union Telegraph Company to operate any of
thewlres erected along the Kansas Pacific road
from Denver, and prohibiting both defend
ants from disconnecting any of the wires from
the batteries of the Western Union Telegraph
Company or continuing such disconnection,
or the connection of any of said wires with
any batteries except those of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and restraining
the railroad company from permitting the
use of the poles by the American Union
Company. This litigation raises the ques-
ton of the validity of the contract existing
between the Western Union Company and
the railroad company, which has been in
force, and under which the telegraph lines
have been operated for many years.
Pronounced Unconstitutional.
New YORK, February 26th. 1.-The Commei.
ciGt EultCtiR to-day, commenting on the law
of the Legislature compelling corporations to
discharge Chinese workmen, declares that il
| is unconstitutional from beginning to end
| Treaties with foreign powers are superior to
State legislation. California thus places
itself in direct antagonism to, If not virtual
rebellion against, the supreme law of the land
on this question. Fortunately President
Hayes is sound, and the country is entitled
to expect at his hands the maintenance of ma
tional honor and dignity in this business
| Come what may, corporations whose contracts
are impaired by this legislation should lose
no time in appealing to Federal Courts. Ger
tain it is that until the Federal Government
steps in and indicates It's authority in the
premises every business and social interest
i'll California will be at the mercy OF Com
munists, who appear to be as ignorant OF
constitutional law as they are of the simple
rudiments of political economy
