WAsnxGToN, Jan. New York Republicans III
Washington begin to show an active interest III the
Senatorial canvass at Albaay There appears to be
q good understanding between the friends OF he
President and other 2epublicans who are opposed
to the election of Mr.. Morton, and most IL not AL
Of them seem to believe that be will be defeated.
Among the Presidents callers this forenoon was
Senator Miller, who, with General McCook, sub
seqaently spent several hours on the floor OF the
House IN conference with New-icrk Represent
atiyes: The sole topic discussed was
the Senatorial contest A New-York Represent
alive who was present said: "You may. rest
assured of one thing-Mr. Morton will not
be the next Senator from New-York. l think it
likely that Mr. Eyarts will be the man. Several OF
the members counted by Mr. Mortons friends will
support another candidate. From this time forward
Mr. Morton's opponents will work together on
definite plan and they will be well organized. We
have carefully scrutinized the estimate of the anti
Morton strength published in THE TRIBUNE to-day
and believe it to be substantially correct.p
Another New-York Congressman said: " j think
the list III to-day's TRIBUNE of antiMorton men is
nearly correct and believe that determined effert
10 combine them on an opposition candidate would
succeed as to all except perhaps five or six. Yes,
think all except half dozen of them would prefer
Dir. Eyarts to Morton. Mr.. Hiscock has some ten
OF twelve votes and do not think that he has made
IN his mind what course to pursue. Probably he
will not decide whether TO remain IN the field
candidate uutil he hears more definitely IRON his
friends as to the situation and prospects at Albany.
bntl am positive of one thing, and that is that Mr.
fiscock will not allow his name to be used In any
way TO promote Mr. Mortons canddacy."
CGngressInan Nuttng warmly advocates Mr.. His
COCKS candidacy, and the personal feeling of New
York Representatives in his favor is strong and
general, II not unanimous. Most of them, however,
seem to think that the prospect of successful can
yass against Mr. Morton would be better with Mr.
fyarts than with the Syracuse Congressman. 1t
Sexpected that anumber of the New-York Rcpub-
ucan Congressman will go TO Albany soon to lend
tnelr aid TO the opponents of Mr.. Morton.

HARRINGTON NO sCHEMER.
NE Clears His skirts of the Recent Irish
Independence RumOrs.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Marquis of
Harrington, who was Secretary of War
In Mr.. Gladstone's Cabinet, has written
the following to the News Association
with reference TO the Irish home rule
scheme:
GAS my name has been frequently men,
toned in connection with the reports on
the subject OF the scheme OF irish Poncy
which is stated to be under consideration
by the leaders OF the Liberal party, ana as
! shall not, within the next lew weeks,
have an opportunity Of addressing my
constituents publicly. l think the re-
spect which ! owe them jusuies me IN
writing TO YOU for the purpose Of giving
most emphatic contradiction 70 all suen
reports so far as they relate 10 myself.
No proposals in regard n the policy TO be
adopted by the Liberal party with refer
epce 70 the demand OF large number OF
Irishmen for legislative Independence
Of Ireland have been communicated to
me-
LoRNE's VIEWS.
The DAILY Neios this morning published
an interview with the Marquis OF Lorne.
in which he said Little can be learned
from Canadian and American experience
in favor OF what Mr. Gladstone calls de-
volutiou. On the contrary, the American
Government found it necessary 70 curtail
the powers OF the colonies, and the States
devOlved powers on the genera govern
ment in order 10 preserve the
Union. lrelaud's welfare depends on
unity to enable her TO borrow money on
easy rates for local purposes, for which
the Canadian system is ample. But this
fails To salty the Nationalist, but the
freedom which the Sationalists desire
means the gratificstion OF vanity at an
expense Of lifelong misery.
MONEY would BE UNoBTAINABLE.
NOBODY would lend money 70 such a
State. Secession would fird death in
war as in America. II q Parliament be
again seen 10 Dublin the patriotic Irish
man equally with the Engllshman and
Scotcbman will insist on guarantees of
vital limitations, not merely as promises,
but essential as part Of its existence.
The maintenance Of an armed force
under imperial power would be the most
vital limitation.
The Daily Telegraph denies that Dir.
has submitted 10 the Queen a
scheme Tor home rule IN Ireland.

NEW SHIP CANAL PROJECT.
Proposal to Enlarge the Line From
Cleveland to the Ohio River.
E..o., II 49, VI

AKRON, OHIO, Dec. 1S.-Fhe statement
here to-day by prominent canal men and
engineers, who have just returned from
work, that the Ohio canal was to be
turned into ship caaal, opening from
New York to New Orleans, via the Erie
canal, Lake Erie, the Ohio canal, Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, created much talk
in business circles. A survey of the Mus
kingum division OF the Ohio canal has
been finished by John b. Gregory, ex-
engineer of the State board OF public
works, and Dwight Paul, of this city.
This work was done under q resolu-
ton OF last Congress and complete
report has been forwarded t. Col Merrill,
OF Cincinnati, in charge of ohio river i'm
provements. The proposition is to open
the OHIO canal to Cleveland, and thus
make the connection, which, it is estima-
ted, would cost 81 ,000,O MIR. Paul saws
the Muskingum division could be imprOv-
ed, and changed into ship canal mt very
little expense. The locks OF the river are
large enough TO answer the purposes of a
snip canal, being 1l5 feet long and &c
feet wide. They would merely require to
be made deeper. BY means OF dams. slack
water can be made to reach Trenton, VI g.
carawas county, which is about 100 miles
from Cleveland.

A QUICK ROUTE.

The present canal must be widened by
dredging, aud the locks entirely torn out
and rebuilt. This would OF course entail
gre It expense, but this would be nothing
compared with the immense commercial
benefits which the waterway would give
the entire country. In The Ohio canal
project The ships would he Obliged 10 move
slowly through about 100 miles OF canal
and could move a. rapidly as they desired
when they reached the Muskingum. east

while the Miami canal project requires

OF SIS. 100000.
The only objection TO the plan which
has been suggested is the possible diff
