The Next Presidency.
NEW YORK. March 6sh-A Times Louis
vile special says: Indications from all over
the State show that Grant will receive the
support of the Kentucky delegates to the
Republican Convention in Chicago. Blaine,s
friends are working hard, but make little
headway against the enthusiasm which the
name of Grant everywhere awakens.
A Times Washington special says: There
are many and growing indications that the
controversy in regard to the Presidential candi-
dates will, among Southern delegates to the
National Democratic Convention, be one OF
the most stormy and bitter ever known.
There seems to be now no doubt that Mr..
Iilden's candidacy will prove the chief bone
OF contention. That he has any idea of with
drawing no well-informed politician from the
Southern States for moment believes.

A Journals Washington special says
There has been considerable talk here during
the past twenty-four hours that friends Of
Sherman are considering the advis
ability of his withdrawing from the Presi-
Dental contest in favor of Washburne or
Blaine. The most stearnestsupporters of Sher-
mans candidacy now concede that he has 10
show of obtaining the nomination, but they
believe it is within his power to defeat the
nomination of Grant by withdrawing now,
and then throwing all his strength in favor of
Washburne or Blaine. 1t is not ascertained
that Secretary Sherman has fully
considered this step, but it is fact that some
of his most pronounced friends are firm in
the opinion that it must be taken and very
soon, or the Grant movement cannot be
checked. 1t Is expected there will be some
important political movement within very
few days in the direction above indicated.
Sherman's friends have lost all their enthu-
siasm and confidence as to the success of their
candidate before the Chicago Convention, and
the only question which seem to trouble them
is whether the Sherman delegates will stand
together in favor of some one candidate as
against Grant, or, if Sherman withdraws,
whether a portion of the number will not join
the Grant column and thus contribute to his
success.
A gentleman who lately had conversation
with Secretary Sherman says the latter
talked quite strongly against Grant, and said
if the latter had kept out of the Presidential
contest Sherman would have secured the
nomination as against Blaine. Sherman at
tributes his failure if such it turns out to be-
entirely to the Grant movement.
Convention of Eoung Republicans fn
E0sfon.
BosToN, March 6th.-The Convention of
Young Republicans met to-day. Resolutions
were offered opposing the nomination of Grant
and Blaine, since many considerations will
lead a large portion of the Republican party
to vote against either. They declare that a
man like President Hayes should be gladly
supported, and indorse the principles of the
Independent Republican Committee of New
Y ork and of the National Independent Re-
publican Leagues of Philadelphia. The res.
olutions further urge the establishment of
the public service on basis of intelligence
and good conduct the maintenance of spe-
Gle payments; the passage of laws depriving
greenbacks of their legal tender quality: the
management by States of their own affairs /;
the enforcement of all national laws, and the
maintenance of equal rights throughout the
country. Several speakers made an effort to
have the resolution III regard to Grant and
Blaine stricken out, and Senator Crocker
made a motion to that effect, hut it was lost

ment. After discussion, the resolutions as
reported were adopted, and an Executive
Committee at large was appointed, and the
Convention adjourned.
Point for the Western Union.
CHICAGO, March 6th.--This afternoon, in
the United States Circuit Court, Judge
Drummond entered an order in the case Of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
against the Wabash Railway Company and
American Union Telegraph Company, de-
creeing that the contract between the old
Toledo, Wabash and Western Railroad Com
pany and the Western Union Company is
binding on the new Wabash Railway in a.
respects, except as to the rights OF another
telegraph company having acquired the right
to build on the roadway. The Court there.
upon restrained the Wabash Railway Com-
pany, its officers and agents. from interfering
in any way with the lines of the Western
Union Telegraph Company upon the line Of
the railroad and Offices thereon.
ANOTHER POINT.
OMAHA, March 6th.-The District Court
of this county heard to-day the motion of the
Atlantic and Pacific and Western Union
Telegraph Companies TO dissolve or modify
its injunction issued several days ago at the
suit Of the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
restraining the telegraph companies from in
terfering with lines leased by the railway TO
the Atlantic and Pacific. The Union Pacific
claimed that its suit and injunction were
prior to that of the telegraph companies in
the United States Circuit Court, in which
Judge McCrary allowed the injunction
against the railway. The State court modified
its injunction so as to permit the Atlantic
and Pacific to reconnect its wires where they
had been cut by the railway, and require s
the companies on both sides to observe the
terms and provisions of contracts. This
leaves Judge McCrsry's order in full force,
and relieves the controversy of al Questions
about priority of suit and injunction, and
restores the full use of the wires along the
whole length of the railroad to the Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Company.
