FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
NASHVILLE, October 16.-I have
not heard Of any new developments
in regard to the Senatorial contest.
The BuRBer is more bitter than ever,
and every day lashes itself into a fury
of passionate utteances against the
man upon whom, only a few short
weeks since, it was eXpending very
wealth OF euloginm. The ineonsist-
ency Of this assumed leading organ Of
the people is the subject of comment
in all circles. Intelligent men ask,
Why = this thusly?" They ask,
i" How Is it that the BaRnerand other
Journals have been so late in discover
ing the shortcomings and failings Of
Andrew johnson, and why it is that
when that gentleman filed the Presi-
DENTAL chair they regarded and
wrote of him as very paragon OF
ali the virtues, why they were
20 strong for him that even after he
retired nom the cares and anxieties of
the executive Office, they continued TO
eaIogise and 10 praise him rs the
" coming man" insisting that he
should be a candidate for the office to
which Santer has been elevated, and
under no circumstances should he he
permitted 10 retire from public life.
Why is this?" they ask. Echo an
swers this''-only "this," and moth
ing more. Intelligent men ask, "Why
is it that ibe BU3aer and other papers
are filed with abusive terms and
words of reprOach Of Mr.. johnson,
such as FOrney, the dead duck, such
as Greeley and others of the bitter
haters of the South and the
Southern people used towards
the Ex-President when these
same papers were exerting them
selves patriotieally in his defense and
for the public welfare. The mere fact
that Mr.. Johnson is a candidate foran
Office that he once before graced can
not be the reason; there is something
beyond that, something hidden, some
thing under the cover of which the
people have not heard, something
that snacks Of combination and con-
spiIacy. But it will not win. The
mOre his opponents hammer at Mr..
johnson, the more the people espOuse
his cause, the more they demand he
shall go TO the Senate. The members
of the Legislature very properly,
(in accordance with their purpose to
act up 10 the wishes Of their cOnstitu-
ency) are at home FOR a day or two 10
consult the wishes of the people in
this matter. They will return on
Monday fresh from this consultation,
and viii, therefore, when they vote, |
30 50 Understandings, and with q |
view to fair expression Of the peo- |
pies will. l have no fears for the re- |
suit. More than nine-tenths Of the /
voters of Tennessee desire that Andy |
JohnsOn, the tribune of the people, |
shall 90 ~ the Senate, and there rep |
resent them and there fight their bat
des, there defend the Constitution,
and there help to save what is left to |
US of Republican Government. The |
friends Of the eX-President now here |
are hopeful, and so is he.
A great many Of the delegates TO the |
Southern Commercial Convention at |
louisville have passed through here |
on their way home. / have conversed |
with some Of them, and ind that |
they verify the dispatch TO the CjiiDi |
and 4mericGg, thai a majority Of that |
Convention were ia favor Of sending |
Mr.. johnson to the senate, They say |
that there was a singular unanimiig /
upon this point among the members I
of the Convention. Mr.. johnson was |
freely canyassed by that body, and |
the almost unanimous opinion was
that Tennessee, 10 do herself justice, |
and in obedience to the voice of the /
people Of the Union, should send him
20 the Senate. They say there il u |
crisis upon the country, crisis that /
may, indeed can he mitigated by the |
Iabors Of Andrew Johnson, therefore |
they want him 10 20 to the Senate.
All are labilsnt oser tbe Democratic |
gains in Ohio and Pennsylvania, The |
result in these States is regarded ss a |
happy harbingrr Of coming victory, |
OF the coming day when the white
man party vii rule the country and
relieve it OF the incubus of Radical |
legislation that has well nigh para
Iyzed every industry, and induced |
peculati0n on every hand.
A great many strangers are arriving |
TO attend the fair and races to COM
mence here on Monday. The city is
now well filed, but If people continue
10 pour ln a they have for a week
past, It viii be crowded, fear, be-
yond the capacity Of our hotels. The /
Maxwell House il dOibg . good busi-
ness, bet mine host Of the Stacey j. |
also doing good business. His house
IL full up all the while, And it should !
be. lie deserves well Of the travel |
ing public. Nashville is gayeF now !
than at any time since the war.
When the capital grounds are i'm
proved, and our prcjeeled manufac-
tories are running, we will feed little |
prouder than We do now.
