THE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.

To the Editors Of the Union and American.
Yeur journal is esteemed in this section
for having observed just and rigid i'm
] partislity in regard TO the senatorial con
test, and is regarded as the proper me.
| dunn through which to present the name
and claims of one, who, though not here
| tofore mentioned in that connection, has
many warm admirers throughout the
State. and whom all will admit to be pos.
sessed of the high qualifications which fit
one TO fill the distinguished position. AIlu.
sion is made to the Hon, Jordan Stokes,
of Wilson.
Nearly twenty years ago, Jordan
Stokes, who is now in the vigor of life.
presided over the House of Representa-,
tiyes when that body held such men as
Henry. Netherland, Guild, Granville ID.
Searcv, and Edwin Polk. In that capac-
ity the State never had his superior.
Since then he has served as State Senator
and as presidential elector, and acquired
a reputation for talents and powers Of de-
bate inferior to no man in the State. He
holds a leading position in the legal pro-
fession, and is possessed of culture, Dig
nity, and unblemished moral worth. As
Senator from Tennessee he would give
credit to the State, and represent her in.
terests with eminent ability.
He has an unspotted record Of Union-
ism. Firm and devoted in his adherence
to the cause of the federal government
during the civil war, he has never sought
Office as a reward of his loyalty; nor has
he been tainted with Radiealism in the
least particle He is type of the true
Conservative, and reflects the prevalent
political sentiments of the North as near
ly as any one of her prominent citizens.
His name is worthy to be classed with
any of those suggested, and should the
choice fall on Jordan Stokes, all might
confde in him as one equal to the high
of the post, and worthy
by his ability, his fidelity, and his mod
esty of the honor. OLD WILSON.

Queer Letter of Senior Roberts
WASHINGTON, August "A letter re-
Gently appeared in the newspapers pro-
Tossing to have been furnished for publ.
cation by prominent Cuban patriots dated
Washington, August %, and purporting to
hive been written by Senior Roberts, Span.
ish Minister, to the Captain General of
Cuba, and intercepted. In this letter Senior
Roberts is represented as giving informa.
tion about the status of gunboats now
building in this country for the Spanish
government, and stating that the belliger-
ents we'll not be considered in haste, but
probably the future will be in favor Of the
Cubans, etc.
Another of the Same Sort.
WR Roberts, under his own signature
to-day says the letter has not a word of
truth in it, and that the document is itself
a mere, awkward forgery.
Minister TO China.
Hon VIM. A. Howard having resign
his appointment as Minister to China, the
administration will in few days designate
the successor. The merits of several gen.
tlemen ale under consideration, and great
care will be taken to select the proper
representative of the United States at that
court.
What SfekIes Is Doing
A private letter dated Madrid, from an
entirely responsible source repeats that
Minister Sickles has offered the
United states a Mediator
between Spain and Cuba, the PROPOSE
ton being as stated in the American news
papers that slavery be abolished in the
Island, the Cubans to pay Spain for the
public buildings, Notifications, etc.
1t is equally true that while Spain does
not reject mediation, there are
Serious Obstacles
10 the way Of accommodation. The i'm
preston among many of the Spanish
statesmen il that the island will eventually
pass from the possession and control of
that authority.
1t is stated that the preliminary de.
maDded by Spain, ia that Cubans shall lsy
down their arms, a condition with which
it is ascertained they will not comply, if for
no other reason, they have no guarantee of
protection from Spanish volunteers, who
according to reports aim al absolute rule
Of the leland and have a secret orgsnizl-
ton TO that end.

He is the only surviving con of W. P.

SECURED RAILROAD SEATs.-One of
the New York railway companies has
adopted the theatre plan of selling Sc,
cured seats. A passenger may buy a
ticket, at small advance, with coupon
or number which gives him seat in
the cars. Some of the papers praise this
proceeding as if it were az extraordinary
concession or favor to travellers; whereas,
every railway company is bound to pro.
vide seat, and generally does, for every
passenger at no advance upon the regular
rate of fare. The car seats are to be
numbered, as at the theatres, and tickets
| issued to correspond.
