To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : The iron on the Ohio Central railroad (formerly the Atlantic and Lake Erie) is aid northward, as far as the Pan-Handle road, three miles west of Newark, at which point a Y is already put down. The Southern terminus is Moxahala. Grave doubts are entertained by parties north of the present ending of the road, whether it will be built beyond that point or not. Should it. not, the disappointment to people beyond that point laker ward, will be grievoUB to Granyille par- ticuiariy. i v' "" ' President for the projected line but most of the wind-work requisite for a new road, Desiues u mouiiun amount of money. As to the truthfulness of the above, we cannot vouch. Wo give it for what it is worth. It looks reasona hl. hnavnver. from the fact that the Pan Handle has op interest in that direction. Harrv K.

An All Night Setwlon t the Commissioners. Probable Preparation or a Meaaane to the Prealdeut Speculations aa to Ita Tonor Delegation Re celved. New Orleans, April 12. The Evening Democrat says of the Commission : They were up all last night, until half past nve o'clock lhursday morning, lhe interviews they had were fully diaouaBed, and the stand taken by both parties carefully canvassed; and it is understood there was a plan adopted, to oe laia before Packard and Nicholls. One thing ia cer tain, and that ia there will be no further statements from individuals received after noon of Thursday. General Harlan stated that the Commission had finished its labors in that direction, and now would be-Kin to work on the solution part of the job. He said they would now begin consultation over the facts already gleaned. During the morning Judge Wyly was present, with a committee of gentlemen who were Union men at the breaking out of the war, and who represent a class hitherto not actively participating in politics. Edward J. Gay and other influential men were of the committee. ISeoond Dispatch.l New Orleans, April 12. This was an uneventful day with the Commission. There was much discussion among themselves, witiiout any result that they were willing to communicate to the press. The only delegation received was a delegation of sugar planters in the interest of the Nicholls Government, headed by ex-Justioe Wyly, of the Eelloga Supreme Court. The Commission decline to state whether they had received any supplemental instructions from the President. They also declined to indicate any time for the close ol their investigation. Messrs. Kay. .Leonard and Burcb, of the Packard committee handed into the Commission a ponderous list of officers who bad qualined in the Packard secretary of State's office, accompanied by the certificate of Emile Honore, Packard's Secretary of State, showing that of 1033 officers commissioned by the Governor, six hundred and twentyeight, whose names areeiven in the accompanying list, have filed their oaths of office according to law. The remaining iOti are Justices of the Peace and Constables, who have not made it a practice of filing an oatb of office with the Secretary of State. It is understood the Commission a ses sion, which lasted until live o'clock this morning, was aevoiea 10 consiaering a message to the President. General Augur, who was present, reduced the message to military cipher. The tenor of the message is not positively known, but it is believed it notifieB the President that they had concluded their investigation under pres ent instructions, and suggesting that they were ready to receive any further instructions the President might desire to give. WASHINGTON. KAYIOATION DECISION. Washinqton. Aoril 12. The Treasury Denartment decides that vessels engaged in trading upon waters wholly within the limits of a State, and not having a navigable outlet, are not Bubjeot to the navigation laws of the United States. consolidation project abandoned. The Secretary of the Treasury has in structed Assistant Secretary Frenoh to make out a list of twenty special customB agents for assignment to' duty in various portions of the country, under his imme diate control. From this it would seem that the Secretary has abandoned tbe idea of consolidating customs agents and the aecret service of the Treasury, and internal revenue agentBinto one organization. Assistant Secretary frencn, to wnoin mis proposition was referred, reported that it would be higbfy inexpedient to adopt it. The number of customs agents waa reduced by the last Congress from tiftytbree to twenty, as the maximum, keinstatjed. Messra. M. H. Hale, of Massachusetts, O. C. Adams, of Kentucky, and Jf., . Jennings, of Alabama, formerly Special Agents ot the lreasury ieparimeni,uttve been reinstated, the record of their services being of a character to assure the Secretary that taere was no just rea son lor tneir removal, uapiaiu nuu was formerly Chief of the .Bureau, but was reduced to a loner position and sub sequently removed by the influence of Supervising Agent Moore, because oi. nis (Adams's) friendship for Bristow. Secretary Sherman considers that this was not a good reason, and consequently directed bis restoration to the service. TBE INDIANS.

Senator Patternou on tbe South South Carolina Nltaalton. Washington, April 12. Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, informed the President yesterday that he thought he (tbe President) had made a mistake in his course toward that State. Tbe Preai- dent replied that it was an experiment, but from tbe representations received from, and the pledges made by Governor Hampton, and subsequent developments, there was reason to believe it would be successful. The Senator said he would as soon have Hampton as Chamberlain for Governor, provided his accession to that office should bring prosperity to the State, and Hampton should treat all citizens alike, and provide means for a fair election, aa be promised to do. in oon versation to-day, Senator Patterson re. marked that, not as a Republican, but believing in the right of instruction, if the Legislature of South Carolina should instruct him to vote in favor of the admission of Butler, or any other Democrat, to tbe Senate, he would so; and, besides, he would vote for the admission of Democratic Senators from Louisiana. This would interfere with his Republicanism, but his action would be based on the ground that a State ought to be represented according to tbe wishes of the people, as represented in their State Government. It can be Btated on authority that the President made no bargain whatever with or promise to Chamberlain as a condition of his retiring from the Governorship. Senator Blaine on the Bights of Chamberlain and Packard, Boston, April 12. Senator Blaine, in a telegram to the Herald, says: I am sure Governor Chamberlain knows that he has the profoundest sympathy in the heroic though unsuccessful struggle he has made in South Carolina for civil lib erty and constitutional Government. 1 am equally sure Governor racxard leeis that my heart and judgment are both with him in the contest he is still waging, against great odds, for the Governorship that he holds by a title as valid as that which justly and lawfully seated Euther- ford JS. .Hayes in the presidential cnair. I trust also that both Governors know that the Boaton press no more represents the stalwart Republican feeling of New England on pending issues than the same press did when in demanded the enforcement of tbe fugitive slaw in 1851.

The Times in its leading article says: How has the prospect suddenly been overshadowed by fear speedy war. A change nas come through the action of Russia, and by means of the very document which was signed for the purpose of maintaining peace. Hardly had the document been signed when Russia showed a disposition take from it tbe materials ot ulti matum, apd the forte was informed it would be expected to decide byto-morrow whether it would or not accept the protocol and send an envoy to St. Petersburg. If, as our Austrian correspondent states, the Italian and French Charges de Affaires also intimated tnat a aennue reply should be given by the 13lh inst.. Kussia may oe able to mane an un expected defense of her haste; but our own uovernmeni, ai jeasi, aia not ipienu the protocol to have (he character of an ultimatum. Russia pan not be surprised. Indeed, if recent negotiations should ex pose her to severer chargeB, she must ex pect li 10 pe saia mai sue wisoeu 10 pass the time until the roads toward the Danube should be fit for the passage of her artillery, and that she drew up tbe orofocol. not to Becure peace, but to obtain from the united powers such condemna tion of 1 urkey as would make a declara tion of war seem inevitable. We bring no auch charges against Ruasia, but the powers will have reason to complain if, now that they have put their seals to the protocol, Russia should refuse to smooth the way toward peace, and pretend at least that any decisive action be not taken until the powers shall have again appealed to the roue: and she may be invited to consider whether demobilization might not be brought about in some mauner less hurtful to Ottoman pride than tbe stringent terms specified by Count Schuuva. (of. Scarcely a Hope of PaelHcSolutlon, St. Petershueo, April 12. The Jour nal de St. Petersburg states that there io no further hope that Turkey will accede to tbe demands of Europe. The Golos declureB that the present state of things is such sb to leave scarcely any hope ot a pacific Bolution. Russian occupation of the Christian provinces of Turkey would be the logical consequence of the refusal of the Forte to carry out the demands of the protocol. Such occupation would se clude all idea of the ambitiouB designs attributed to Russia, who, by intervening in behalf of the Christians, would solely pursue humanitarian ends. The Last Chance. Brussels. April 12.

The article closes with the remark that "the fugitive of 1848 is among the warmest admirers of the empire of 1877." This is the brief tale the Hszleton (Pennsylvania) Sentinel tells : "A tramp slopped at the house of Philip Harris, in Coieraine, and was given something to eat. Noticing that John Harris, aged Is, was blind in one eye, he told him to cut a sour apple in two and rub the cut edgea on the eye. The young man did as he was told, and.regained bis sight, ae had not been able to Bee out of the eye for seven years." A special to the Ubicago limes 'rom Warsaw.

At the same time he imagines a contingency in which he would feel ita public duty to become a candidate, and he is understood to believe that the exigency is Buch that he ought not place himBelf out of the Hat of possible candidates.

The horses became frightened, ran south on High street, taking the street railroad track. Just south of Rich street they ran into one of the street cars, which was coming north. The tongue of the hack struck the iron railing of the car and crlanced. demohnhing the door, wia dows and leaving everything a perfect wreck.

To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : The iron on the Ohio Central railroad (formerly the Atlantic and Lake Erie) is aid northward, as far as the Pan-Handle road, three miles west of Newark, at which point a Y is already put down. The Southern terminus is Moxahala. Grave doubts are entertained by parties north of the present ending of the road, whether it will be built beyond that point or not.

An All Night Setwlon t the Commissioners. Probable Preparation or a Meaaane to the Prealdeut Speculations aa to Ita Tonor Delegation Re celved. New Orleans, April 12. The Evening Democrat says of the Commission : They were up all last night, until half past nve o'clock lhursday morning, lhe interviews they had were fully diaouaBed, and the stand taken by both parties carefully canvassed; and it is understood there was a plan adopted, to oe laia before Packard and Nicholls. One thing ia cer tain, and that ia there will be no further statements from individuals received after noon of Thursday. General Harlan stated that the Commission had finished its labors in that direction, and now would be-Kin to work on the solution part of the job. He said they would now begin consultation over the facts already gleaned. During the morning Judge Wyly was present, with a committee of gentlemen who were Union men at the breaking out of the war, and who represent a class hitherto not actively participating in politics. Edward J. Gay and other influential men were of the committee. ISeoond Dispatch.l New Orleans, April 12. This was an uneventful day with the Commission. There was much discussion among themselves, witiiout any result that they were willing to communicate to the press. The only delegation received was a delegation of sugar planters in the interest of the Nicholls Government, headed by ex-Justioe Wyly, of the Eelloga Supreme Court. The Commission decline to state whether they had received any supplemental instructions from the President. They also declined to indicate any time for the close ol their investigation. Messrs. Kay. .Leonard and Burcb, of the Packard committee handed into the Commission a ponderous list of officers who bad qualined in the Packard secretary of State's office, accompanied by the certificate of Emile Honore, Packard's Secretary of State, showing that of 1033 officers commissioned by the Governor, six hundred and twentyeight, whose names areeiven in the accompanying list, have filed their oaths of office according to law. The remaining iOti are Justices of the Peace and Constables, who have not made it a practice of filing an oatb of office with the Secretary of State. It is understood the Commission a ses sion, which lasted until live o'clock this morning, was aevoiea 10 consiaering a message to the President. General Augur, who was present, reduced the message to military cipher. The tenor of the message is not positively known, but it is believed it notifieB the President that they had concluded their investigation under pres ent instructions, and suggesting that they were ready to receive any further instructions the President might desire to give. WASHINGTON. KAYIOATION DECISION. Washinqton. Aoril 12. The Treasury Denartment decides that vessels engaged in trading upon waters wholly within the limits of a State, and not having a navigable outlet, are not Bubjeot to the navigation laws of the United States. consolidation project abandoned. The Secretary of the Treasury has in structed Assistant Secretary Frenoh to make out a list of twenty special customB agents for assignment to' duty in various portions of the country, under his imme diate control. From this it would seem that the Secretary has abandoned tbe idea of consolidating customs agents and the aecret service of the Treasury, and internal revenue agentBinto one organization. Assistant Secretary frencn, to wnoin mis proposition was referred, reported that it would be higbfy inexpedient to adopt it. The number of customs agents waa reduced by the last Congress from tiftytbree to twenty, as the maximum, keinstatjed. Messra. M. H. Hale, of Massachusetts, O. C. Adams, of Kentucky, and Jf., .

Secretary Sherman considers that this was not a good reason, and consequently directed bis restoration to the service. TBE INDIANS.

Senator Patternou on tbe South South Carolina Nltaalton. Washington, April 12. Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, informed the President yesterday that he thought he (tbe President) had made a mistake in his course toward that State. Tbe Preai- dent replied that it was an experiment, but from tbe representations received from, and the pledges made by Governor Hampton, and subsequent developments, there was reason to believe it would be successful. The Senator said he would as soon have Hampton as Chamberlain for Governor, provided his accession to that office should bring prosperity to the State, and Hampton should treat all citizens alike, and provide means for a fair election, aa be promised to do. in oon versation to-day, Senator Patterson re. marked that, not as a Republican, but believing in the right of instruction, if the Legislature of South Carolina should instruct him to vote in favor of the admission of Butler, or any other Democrat, to tbe Senate, he would so; and, besides, he would vote for the admission of Democratic Senators from Louisiana. This would interfere with his Republicanism, but his action would be based on the ground that a State ought to be represented according to tbe wishes of the people, as represented in their State Government. It can be Btated on authority that the President made no bargain whatever with or promise to Chamberlain as a condition of his retiring from the Governorship. Senator Blaine on the Bights of Chamberlain and Packard, Boston, April 12. Senator Blaine, in a telegram to the Herald, says: I am sure Governor Chamberlain knows that he has the profoundest sympathy in the heroic though unsuccessful struggle he has made in South Carolina for civil lib erty and constitutional Government. 1 am equally sure Governor racxard leeis that my heart and judgment are both with him in the contest he is still waging, against great odds, for the Governorship that he holds by a title as valid as that which justly and lawfully seated Euther- ford JS. .Hayes in the presidential cnair. I trust also that both Governors know that the Boaton press no more represents the stalwart Republican feeling of New England on pending issues than the same press did when in demanded the enforcement of tbe fugitive slaw in 1851.

A change nas come through the action of Russia, and by means of the very document which was signed for the purpose of maintaining peace. Hardly had the document been signed when Russia showed a disposition take from it tbe materials ot ulti matum, apd the forte was informed it would be expected to decide byto-morrow whether it would or not accept the protocol and send an envoy to St. Petersburg. If, as our Austrian correspondent states, the Italian and French Charges de Affaires also intimated tnat a aennue reply should be given by the 13lh inst.. Kussia may oe able to mane an un expected defense of her haste; but our own uovernmeni, ai jeasi, aia not ipienu the protocol to have (he character of an ultimatum. Russia pan not be surprised. Indeed, if recent negotiations should ex pose her to severer chargeB, she must ex pect li 10 pe saia mai sue wisoeu 10 pass the time until the roads toward the Danube should be fit for the passage of her artillery, and that she drew up tbe orofocol. not to Becure peace, but to obtain from the united powers such condemna tion of 1 urkey as would make a declara tion of war seem inevitable. We bring no auch charges against Ruasia, but the powers will have reason to complain if, now that they have put their seals to the protocol, Russia should refuse to smooth the way toward peace, and pretend at least that any decisive action be not taken until the powers shall have again appealed to the roue: and she may be invited to consider whether demobilization might not be brought about in some mauner less hurtful to Ottoman pride than tbe stringent terms specified by Count Schuuva.
