ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH,
EAsHVILLE, October 2s.-The op-
position concentrated on Henry
Cooper, of Davidson county, to-day,
and he was elected Senator. On the
first ballot Cooper received 30, and
johnson 81. Mr.. Cooper is a gentle
man of fine ability, and has been a
consistent Union psan ali the time.
The election of Senator gives salts
faction to ali except JohnsOn's ardent
friends. Probably better selection
could not have been made. Mr..
Cooper is one of the ablest lawyers in
Tennessee. He was one of Military
Governor IahnsQn'9 aBpoinTees 10 the

al, and then retiring from the bench,
he became a professor in the Lebanon
Law School, and resigEigs that posi-
tien, he removed to Nashville, and is
now Senator from Davidson, aud to
show the estimation THAT he is held in
by all parties, it may be noticed that
all the Radicals, with one exception,
voted for him. His election throws
the last shovelful of earth on repudia-
tion in Tennessee.
