Late advices from Tennessee state that the Hon. Bae
Peyton who Is running for tho State lsenate from the
Sumner County District with certainty Of success will
be pressed as candidate for the United States Senate IN
opposition to Andrew johnson. Col. PeytOn Is q well
known politician Of high character, and Is said to
have been firm Unionst. He was an Old Line Wing,
but In 1864 endeayored place an Electoral ticket for
Mcclellan before the people OF the State Andrew John
son. who then Military Governor and the nominee OF
the Republican party for YicePresden broke up the
Mcclellan meetings with tho military under his
command, and hence there Electoral ticket run.
1t is asserted that Col Peyton has not forgotten the arb
rary of Andrew Johnson and will fight him to the
bitter end.
Col. ID. u Barziza OF Texas, counsel for Ben Brown
ct al, who murdered Doctor Maxwell at Bryan, in that
State, some weeks since, has arrived in Washington
COL BarZza proposes the part Of his client
the understanding that arrived at in the Of
YergeT viz, suspension OF any judgment that be
decreed by the military commission until the constitu
Onalty Of the right OF trial by such commission In said
state has been definitely determined by the Supreme
Court The colonel reports the situation Of affairs in
Texas most desirable. He says the damage done by
the late floods I'm the Colorado and Gaudaloupe Valleys
had been greatly exaggerated, and that although the
losses will amount 10 two millions Of dollars 1t has
already repaired and not than onefth OF the
crops will be destroyed The cotton crop is the largest
ever raised. There will DO exciting campaign be-
tween Gen Davis and Gov. Hamilton. Upon the ticket
with Gov. Hamilton VIII be presented the name Of DR..
Bouds Baker, n candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
DIR. Baker original Unionis and fled from Texas
during the reign OF terror in company with Gov Ham
ton Among other issues presented for the campaign
the division OF the State Gen. Davis favorng immediate
division and Gov Hamilton opposing the same until the
Influx OF population shall warrant such separation Of the
| territory.
Before Cen Amcs left II reported that several
prominent Federal ofcehodcrs who have been active
the Dent movement to be suspended The papers
arc stated 10 have been made ont tho Presidents
arrival from Long Branch but for reason unknown
TO the Mississippi Republicans now here action has been
withheld. There Is considerable disappointment felt by
them.
Commissioner Deano has adopted very important
rule that must work to the good OF the public. He
directs that from time 10 time the Supervisors Of Internal
Revenue shall be tranposed from district to another
and, as the first move in the plan has ordered that
Supervisor Tottcn OF tho Western District Pennsylvania
shall be transferred the Eastern District OF that State
aud southwoTth present Supervisor Of the latter dis
tct shall DO placed In some district yet to be desis
mated Thus for example NewYork Supervisor may
1nd himself suddenly ordered of TO the Pacific coast
and rice versa The object Of this transposon OF Super
ysors to break mp any combination where the Revenue
officers may haze formed rings among themselves or with
distillcrz with the counivanco or knowledge Of su
pcrvisors, who. It Is alleged, IN sone
instances share In tho division Of spOls
gathered from eyasions Of the Revenue laws or plain
frauds upon the Government. From facts that have
come 20 the knowledge OF the Commissioner IL is evident
that this now rule will result IN placing immense sums IN
the Treasury that otherwise would DO lost IL Is also
probable that Detectives Internal Revenue storekeepor
and Gauccrs will hereafter be selected by the Depart
meut here without reference TO- or suggestions from,
supcrysors Collectors other Revenue officers, Is
the custom now Under tho present practice corrupt
supervisor can substantially defeat the purpose OF the
law In the appointment OF officers with whom they arc in
