A Washington correspondent writes to the Cinein-
naa Engure. ia is undarioed here that zOLEIcoF-
1En, sf the Nashville Tenn District, win not be
espdidlae for Congress, IN order to allow Senator
Brza, who reiires On The 4tb Of March, being re-
turned 70 the House. The objest is to have in the
House e southern man on whom the whole OPPOSE
tion may unite for Speaker. Mr.. BILL voted against
the Eansss-E ebraaka bill snd he voted sgainst che
Bocompton sDd English Bigls De is, therefore, net
unacceptable 70 The Republicans In addition to that
it is iheughi that the Republicans may be brought
to unite on Mr. BELss as the Opposition candidate
for presidents That Is he programme Of the Amer
