Nashville.

A careful review of the situation in
Tennessee indicates that in the election
next Tuesday The Radicals will carry the
State by 10000 majority. 1t is even
doubtful if the Democrats elect single
Congressman, although in FIVE Of the dis
tricts there are two Radical candidates,
aud the war between the opposing fac
tions is fierce and uncompromising. In
the Memphis district the Democrats stand
the best show of electing their candidate.
Owing to two Radical candidates
being in the field they will poll about an
equal vote; but, owing to the way regis.
tration is conducted, Democratic success
ia very uncertain. To make Radical
success in the State an absolute GER
tainty, the Governor has declared null
and void the registration in a number of
the heaviest Democratic counties, and
from this decision there is no appeal.
In the registration throughout the
State, 1t is quito certain that large
number of Democrats who were entitled
to certificates have been denied them,
while still larger number Of the same
political faith, who were loyal through
the war, refused to apply at all, partly
from fear Of refusal, and partly from q
conviction thst Radical triumph in
Tennessee is a foregone CONCLUSION.
There are hundreds of this class in this
city, large number of whom are ex-
Federal soldiers.
The var between the opposing Radical
candidates in this district, as in the
Memphis district, is so savage as to
amount to downright blackgusrdism, the
opposing newspaper organs daily in
dulging in the coarsest and fercest per-
sonalities.
Affairs throughout the State have been
very quiet for ths past few weeks, al
though it is not Brownlow's fault that
murder and lawlessness have not been
rampant As if disguised with the gen.
eral quiet, the Governor came out yester-
day over bis own signature 10 the Knox
vile Why directly inoiting to riot and
bloodshed.
Speaking of the murderous assault
made upon Colonel John Fleming, Con-
sentative editor f the Knoxville Press
and Herald, Brownlow uses the follow
ing language: I'VE pronounce the beat
ing Nelson gave Fleming well timed aud
merited. BE might have done more and
still been justified in the eyes of his
friends. To have done less would have
disappointed their expectations" When
Fleming was attacked bis back was

A Nan Lsaps from the Suspension Bridge

From the Nashville Banner. 2sth.]
One of the most singular, not lesG
than tragic, cases of suicide ever COM
mitted iH.this vicinity, occurred at six
o'clock yesterday morning.
While Randall Maxey, colored, was
crossing the suspension bridge for the
Edgefeld side, be observed well-dressed
and rather fne-lookiDg man standing
with one leg thrown over the ballustrade
ia the center and on the east side of the
bridge. The peculiarly stern and rigid
expression Of the mans countenance
aroused suspicion in Maxey that he was
a robber, and under that impression,
our sable informant vas sbying
over toward the opposite side, when the
stranger called out aBd beckoped him to
come near. Maxey advanced toward
him with fear and trembling, thinking,
as he says, every moment would be the
last. he knew not whether to stand or
run, but waited, however, two or three
minutes for the stranger to break the
ominous silence II was broken by the
mysterious unknown raising bis hand
and remarking with much solemnity,
My name is Henry Grizzard, of Nash
vile. By what name are you called,
and where do you reside :"
Mayey answered, in much fear and
perturbation, II was born a servant to
Esquire Maxey. and stay with one of my

After very urgently requesting Nancy
to deliver the message which he had die

istration- - Decision of Judge
Carey, of Nashville.

We call attention of all whom it may
concern to the following statement by
the Nashville Banner Of decision of
the Circuit Court Judge at Nashville.
The Banner says:
A few days ago Messrs. Colyar and
Semmes filed petition for a mandamus
from the Circuit Court, to compel Enos
Hopkins, then Commissioner Of Regis
tration, to issue a certificate to an appli'
cant who had been honorably discharged
from the United States army, but to
whom Hopkins had refused to give Ger.
tificate.
We are now informed by gentlemen Of
the bar that Judge Carey has refused to
grant the msndamus, upon the ground
that no certificate was necessary in such
a case. The only inference that can be
drawn from this decision is, that the APP
plicant has the right to vote without GER
tifcate. This is new phase of the regis
tration business, and will startle some Of
the faithful. Hundreds of honorably dis
charged Union soldiers throughout Ten
nessee have heretofore been denied the
right Of voting By the arbitrary action
of irresponsible Commissioners Of Reg
istration, and we hope that the ruling Of
Judge Carey will be acquiesced in by the
other courts Of the State.

WASHINGTON.

LOUISVILLE, October 30-The Jour
nails Washington special says the track
of the Union Pacific railroad is com
pleted to within one hundred and twenty
miles of Salt Lake City; and the Central
Pacific road, from Sacramento eastward,
is finished to within two hundred and
twenty miles of that city, leaving only
three hundred and seventy miles Of track
to be laid before the connection of the
two lines.
Much anxiety is felt at the War Depart
ment about the condition of things South,
and the few troops at the disposal of the
authorities have been kept in readiness
to be sent to any point where there may
be occasion for them. The 18th Infantry,
of which four companies are stationed
here under the command of Col. Wallace,
have been under orders since Friday last
to move at moments notice. A
special train of cars have been
kept most of the time. awaiting to
to carry them over the Airline South.
They were at first destined for Memphis,
Tennessee, but the recent troubles in
Louisiana have directed attention to that
quarter. Should an exigency arise they
will be sent where they appear to be most
needed.
Areport has been circulated that Gen.
Grant would shortly retsrn to this city.
Such is not the case. he will certainly
not return till after the election, which of
course will govern his movements.

The Situation.

The New York World sums up the
condition of political affairs, and sug-
gests the possibility of bringing up the
reserves very encouragingly. Seymour
thunders with q potent efficacy, while
Grant is dumb, and can do nothing now
for his party because he can not speak.
Thus Radical sophistries, misrepresenta-
tons and falsehoods are being answered
with full knowledge Of what they are and
of what their effect has been by Mr..
Seymour And why may not all this
have an unexpected and potent effect.
