THE BLAINE POLICY.
Bob IngersoII's Faith In It's Pop puIa.itS
One or Its Weak Points.


WASHINGTON, January 2S.-Colonel Bob
Ingersoll says that be believes Nj. Blaine's
policy as now published will meet with the
admiration and approval Of the country.
1t is, he says, in the line OF freedom as
against the "thief governments" which
the world is outgrowing. 1t is natural
and proper ifnot inevitable, he SAYS that
our relations, business as well as political,
will be intimate with the republics cluster
ing around the Isthmus Of Panama; we
shall soon be riding in Pullman cars to the
city Of Mexice and business interests OF
all sorts will grow close and important with
the countries thus brought into contact
with the United States. The friends Of the
Blaine policy say it will lit politics out Of
commonplace, and recall 10 the American
people the lofty ideals OF the dignity ana
rights OF man which aCtuated our for,.
iiathes in the more heroic periods Of our
history.
Touching the aspect Of the case, shrewd
observers here say that the weak point in

The Contest Between Chalmers and

Special Dispatch to the IutellIgenccr.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. Congressman Chal.
mers Of the "Shoestring" District Of AIissis.
sippi, who holds his seat in the House on
the prima iacie certificate Of the Governor,
and not because he was honestly elected,
has filed an exception to the additional
testimony offered by the contestant, John
R. Lynch, before the House Committee on
Elections. Chalmers, it will be remem-
bcrcd, claimed his election upon the alleg.
ed irregularity Of the tickets OF Mr.. Lynch,
bis Republican opponent; printers dash,
such as is commonly used in almost
every newspaper and nearly every
pamphlet as, punctuation. mark, was
placed upon Lynch's ticket to separate the
hame OF the Republican candidate from
the names Of the electors Of the President
and Vice President. This dash could not
be seen from the reverse side OF ticket,
which was printed upon heavy paper, and
abundant evidence has been adduced that
Mr. Lynch, in making the contract for the
printing of his tickets, was particularly
anxious to have them strictly in accordance
with law. The commissioners OF elections
threw out the votes cast for Lynch on the
technical objection raised by Chalmers,
and reversed the very high majority which
Lynch received.
Chalmers now makes the point in fur
therance Of his determination to hold the
seat, that there is no such officer as Chief
Supervisor Of Election for either the North
ern or Southern Districts of Mississippi
known to the laws of the United States
authorized to make return Of votes cast for
n Representative in Congress. He says
there is no law authorizing the Supervisor
of Election to make reports OF elections in
any city outside of 10000 inhabitants;
that the reports presented by Lynch
are not signed by both Supervisors
at each precinct; that there is no evidence
that the parties signing these reports were
in fact appointed United States Super
visors, and he objects further to them be-
cause the reports were not presented Us an
exhibit to the contestant. The depositions
when taken, were gathered and filed
long after the time for taking testimony in

AN ALLEGED COALITION
Between the chesapeake and Ohio Canal
and b. q .. Railroad,


and B. q .. Railroad.
Special Dispatch to the IntellIgcncSr.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-The Post OF
this city has the following peculiar article
to-day relative to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio road:
A petition has been prepared and signed
by the Presidents Of the various coal com.
panies Of the Cumberland coal region, ad-
dressed to the President and Directors of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, praying
that in the extensive works to be under
taken by the Canal company during the
present winter in the matter Of lengthen-
ing locks, etc., that the work be so arranged
that no more locks be torn out than can
be completed by the opening OF navigation
in the spring, This petition was forward
ed to President German yesterday.
The reason for this action is
that from the manner in which this work
has been projected and the number OF
workmen employed the representatives Of
the coal companies have been forced TO
the conclusion that it is the purpose Of the
canal company to tear out locks through
out the entire length Of the canal, after
which the work Of lengthening will be
begun. Under the circumstances it is
clearly apparent that the locks will not be
completed until summer is far advanced
and the run of coal by boats ar
rested during that portion Of the year,
when it is most profitable to both the boat
men and coal companies to get coal to
market. While there is,oi course, no ground
as yettoaccuse the management of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal of any double
dealing in promises, experience of things
sharply suggests that coalition has been
formed between the canal ring and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad company for
the great advantage Of the latter in moving
coal from the Cumberland fields.

A large crowd Of natives came into town

Mn WEBSTER was anxious TO be Presi-
dent Of the United States, und in that dis
played a weakness common to the consid-
erable and not unknown among the inCoil-
siderable public men OF tue unite,d States.
Cincinnati Commercial Of Saturday,
This is true. Mr.. Webster did display q
weakness for the Presidency out OF all
keeping with the grandeur Of bis intellect.
This weakness must be taken as the key Of
explanation to his speech in the United
States Senate on the 9TH Of March, 1850,
his last great effort in that body. Itwas q
bid for Southern support in the Wing con.
yention that met in Baltimore in 1852 and
nominated General Scott. The writer Of
these few lines received from the
late Geo. D. Prentice, Of the Louisville
Journal, the particulars Of an interview
which he had had with Webster in regard
tothe coming convention. THE great states
man actually shed bitter tears when Prem
tice told him-that he could not count on
the support Of Kentucky. He reproached
the South with ingratitude, and bewailed
the fact that while his 9TH Of March speech
had lost him the confidence Of AIassachu-
sets it had not aroused the gratitude Of the
South. The neglect Of the Wing party in
1852, at that convention, broke Webster's
heart, and he died in gloom in the October
following. 1t is sad epitaph to write over
his grave, but it is the truth Of inside his
tory. 1t only shows, in the language Of
Burke, "What shadows We are and what
shadows we pursue"

New YORK, Jan6ary 20.-Judge Brown
yesterday, in the United States District
Court, handed down decision in the case
of Lewis, a colored man, against Oliver
Hitchcock & Son, who keep "cofEce and
cake saloon" in this city. The action was
brought to recover $500 damages for re-
fusing refreshments to plaintiff Ex.Judge
Dittenhoeier, the defendants counsel,
demurred to the complaint on the ground
that it did not set forth that Lewis was
an American citizen, and was op.
posed by the colored lawyer, Mr..
Q larles, who made very able argument.
l'ae Court holds that there is nothing in
ne "civil rights" bill, or in the nature OF
le subject, creating presumption that
C,ngres3 intended 10 legislate in favor OF
aliens, and that the use OF the word "citi-
zen, )" in this as well IS in other public
statutes, indicated thatit is only actionablc
for persons to deny rights or accommodate
tions to citizens, and that therefore to en-
title person to recover he must allege and
prove that he is a citizen.
Defendants counsel having contended
in the argument that the place kept by the
defendants is not an "inn" within The
meaning Of the act Of Congress, the court
in its decision legally defines what an inn
is, and says: '|ThO plaintiff cannot re-
cover except upon proof that the
place was an inn within the law, and
that the place provided for the &c.
COmmolalion and entertainment of trnv.
elers. A coffee house or n nero eating
house is not an inn. To constitute an inn,
there must be some provision for the essen
tial needs OF traveller upon his journey,
viz lodging rs well us food. The court
sustained the demurrer and directed judg.
ment for the defendant, unless within
twenty days plaintiff amends his COM
plaint and pays costs.
