LONDON, Feb. 24.-- The Stand>
ard states that rumors were freely
circulated last night on both sides
Of the lobby that an immediate dis
solution of parliament was contems
plated. The Standard adds {:
"These reports are at present pre-
mature, but if the business
Of the house continues to be so
Systematically obstructed the
government will have no alternative
but to dissolve parliament at an
early day." The house rulers meet
to-day to consider Sir Spofford
Northcote's motion to check the obs
struction.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-Dean Stanley
to-day received a deputation of citi-
zens, who presented an address,
with 1920 signatures, protesting
against the proposed erection, in
Westminster abbey, of monument
to the memory of the late prince
imperial. Dean Stanley, however,
adhered to his previous decision.

The Cincin natl Southern railway is
now open for freight traffic, and
through trains are now speeding from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, and the
Putsburg OF the south sends greeting
to the queen city Of the west in the
same manner. Monday morning at
I:40 O'clock the first train from Chat>
tan nooga left for Cincinnati. The train
c1nsiated OF only seven cars, but could
have been more had the agent at this
end OF the line been able to have given
shippers a rate. No through rate has
been made for Chattanooga, and until
this is done the shipments from Chats
tanooga will be light. t'2 @fta1
The Adams express company will
now send all their freight from aud to
th q, south by the Cincinnati Southern.
They trs snsfer their freight at Dan.
Vile, KY, from the freight train to
the Danville accommodation of the
Cfncinpati Southern, thus making the
trip from Chattanooga to Cincinnati
In twenty four hours. As is well
known, the Louisville and Nashville
railroad do their express business on
their line, aud the Adams and South
ern express companies will now make
all their shipments possible-by the Gin

HOPES OF GRANTS SUPPORTERS.
His Nomination TO be. by Acclamation
or His Name to be withdrawn.

or His Name to be WITHDRAWN.
Special to the New York Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.--"You
are mistaken in supposing that Gen.
Grant is a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for the presidency,
in the same sense that Senator
Blaine and Secretary Sherman are
candidates. said a western member
of Congress to,day, who explained
his own position and proved his
authority to speak for the third
term party by saying that it would
be impossible for his first choice to
be any other than Gen. Grant.
"The ex>president will be nomi-.
mated by acclamation at Chicago, or
else his name will not be presented
to the convention at all. F."
"How can that be-" asked the
correspondent. "The other can
didates have certainly gone too for
in their canvass to withdraw. If
Senator Blaine and Secretary Sher-
man intended under any circum-
stances to step aside and leave the
field clear to Gen. Grant, they
would have done so long ago."
"I'll explain" was the reply.
"Any one with half an eye will
know before the Chicago convention
meets whether Gen. Grants friends
have secured for him q majority OF
the delegates or not, and whether he
can be nominated on the first ballot.
If it is apparent that he can | as
sumo that there will be no contest
made on behalf of Senator Blame
or Secretary Sherman. Neither
will have anything to gain by
allowing his name to be used
under such circumstances. 1t
will not be like a Congress
sional convention, in which men
often enter the lists, knowing it to
be hopeless, In order to gather
strength for a future contest. If,
on the other hand, Gen. Grants
friends find that he can not be
nominated on the first ballot, his
name will not be presented to the
convention. The ex.presidents po-
sition ia such that neither he nor
his friends can afford to enter into a
contest that is in any degree
doubtful" - g..
"Then I suppose that you expect
Gen. Grant to be nominated by ac-
clatnation," remarked the corre-
spondent.
Certainly" was the reply; "but,
if he is not, his name will not be
presented to the convention at all. "

THERE are limits beyond which
a democratic legislator even a
South Carolina legislature, will not
pass, and this fact is about as strong
an argument against the theory OF total
depravity as we know OF. The in-
famous disfranchising law which
was proposed In order to destroy the
effect Of 10000 colored men in the
elections of that state, we are glad to
say, has failed. To this connection we
reproduce an article from the Charles
ton News and Courier on The subject:
"The bill cut both ways, and what
was wanted was bill that would cut
one way only. The personal regis
tration scheme was accordingly
dropped. In the first Place, the mem
bers Of the legislature appear to look
with distrust upon any change what
ever in the election laws. They think
that the arrangements which were
good enough for republicans are good
enough for democrats. To provide for
registration is, in one respect, leap in
the dark, aud the members are indis-
posed to take il on the eve of an i'm
portant election There is another
consideration. Under the United
States laws there is the same
federal supervision at the registration of
voters as at the time that the elec ion
is held, and the adoption of a registra.
tion law would, therefore, double the
opportunities of The Federal officers
and enable them to harass aud arrest
the people long before as we'll as dur.
ing aud after the election. We do not
regard any of the ohj ctions made to
q simple registration law as sufficient
to justify a refusal to pass it.. There is
no doubt that the demOcrscv can aud
will carry the state next November.
It is y paramount Necessity. Our de-
sire was that the election should be
carried eUithout the strain TO which the
people WeTe subjected tao and four
gears ago, and tuat an fort should be
made 70 cure the worst ills of the body
polite by improving the character of
the voters"

In his victory over the lottery deal
ers, Postmaster General Key deserves
and no doubt has the sympathy of the
better class of persons in all political
parties. They are a transparent
swindle, instituted TO rob unthinking
people Of money they ought TO apply
to better uses. The rostmsster-general
has had hard fight over this ques-
tion, and his victory is the triumph of
right over wrong, ofjustice over fraud.

In the district court yesterday, County
Attorney Scsy, nollo prosecuted the cases of
the state of Texas VS. Harry Thornton and
James Anderson, charging them with the
theft of money from the American house, on
east Elm street, some time age, because there
was not sufficient evidence TO make out a
case against them. Thornton was tried in
this court few days since on the charge of
burglary in connection with the theft, and
came clear of the charge. John Lynch, who
was arrested with them at the same tins
they were, charged with having participated
with them in the same theft, was tried and
the jury found him guilty, fixing his punish
ment at two years in the state penitentiary
He still protests his own, and his comrades
innocence, yet thinks it rather hard that they
should be allowed to 60 free, while he is
held a. convict.
Chick Hanley, colored, was arraigned to
answer to the charge of committing an as
sault on Lizzie Smith, with intent to out
rage her, and after hearing the evidence, the
jury returned verdict of not guilty.
