Cincinnati, The. 27. — In the dis

Pugh ftguiust the telephone' company
for cutting off his communication wa -
decidtd. The court below had decid¬
ed that the defendant whs justified
because 1’ugh used pro;tit,e language
through the telephone. The district
court affirmed the judgement by n
mftjoritv opiuion, two judges holding
the proof showed Pugh bad used the
word “damn,"and that such language
was profauo and vulgar, against which
the inventor and the public has a
right to be protected. The third judge
dissented, mainly cu the ground that
proper notice had not been given to
P.tgb, but said the woid "damn" wjs

A Washington correspoudent tells
the N-w York* Tribune readers how
the /iVpublicana at the capita! talk
aViout tho next Presidcticy. Ho saya
there is a vast deal of discussion as to
the future of the party, tho most no-
tie.ftsDia . , feature , , of . wliicn , . , • that moat „ . .
u
j of I he statesmen nre very raucii at

syDanin dt rnand the retirv-mynt of
most of the prominent I’rcRidautial
candid Tib and tha nomination of
gome now man who has had no con¬
nection with the party controversies
in those Ntates, und who would not
be objectionable to either faction.
Stalwarts say this will buR President
Arthur, and that he never bad nuy
intention of being a candidate. Blaine
also is set down as out of the field.
General Sherman's chances have been
canvassed, aud with hi* war record
und genera! independeoo of character
it is thought by some that his catidi-
dacy might be whooped into a Kind oi
11 arrikOn M.iitrah' catnpnign; but then
others fear hi* recant joining Roman
Catholic Cbutcb, under tho influence
of bis wil«, may interfere, wbilf others
still think there might be a real ‘Har-
rison freshet' turned loose by the
notniniition of Senator Harrison, in
spite of his Biaine record and tho fact
that ihi one lias ever stepp'd front a
Sen tli i'* chair into the White House,
Senators „ Allison and , Y. ... indoin , arp
also spoken of in a desultory manner
but Secretary Lincoln takes thn wind
out. o*' all their sails, in the conviction
of his fiit mL that lua name would hare
great (Length in the South, where the
negtoes, it is believed, would go
through fire and blood to vote for
Abraham Lincoln's son. A few are
wicked enough to say he is a Todd
and not a Lincoln, but his friends are
quite sure that does him grout iujus
lice.
To sum up, there is no
to bo in haute to bring about tho in
evitable discusaiou of a candidate, and
no boom ha* been organized for any
body.
