NASHVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 2.--There is tre-
mendous pressure being brought to bear against
Johnson Apetition is being circulated and extern
sively signed, asking the representatives from
this county to vote for some other man beside
Andy. A large number of members of the
Legislature have already arrived, and election
eering is going on bravely, Johnsons enemies
being particularly active. Etheridge is here,
working vigorously. Johnson is expected to-
morrow.
There is the most intense feeling on the Sena-
torial question, everything else being in the
shade. There are far-seeing men who predict
Johnson's defeat, while others profess to think
his election a certainty. Partsanship has its in
fluence in either case. Candidates for the Legisa-
tive offices are absolutely swarming here and
the half have not arrived.
A Desperate Killed.

A Defense of Mrs. Siowe's Byron Revelation.
Despatch TO The EUenirg Telegraph.
Boston, Oct. "A morning paper publishes
q review of General Buffers recent article on
the Stowe-Byron controversy, in which an op-
posite view of his argument is taken, and the
writer, IA. G. W." shows that Mrs. Stoves ac-
cusers have thus far failed to deny the main
charge brought by that lady.
The article closes as follows:-"If Lady Byron
saw her own happy life, full of the most brilliant
promise as ii was before she met Byron, with
youth, wealth, beauty, culture, and prospective
rank, all vanished from her by her short-lived
marriage, and all hope quenched from her heart,
and if though conscious of self-deuying conduct
deserving praise, she encountered only injustice
and reproach, and endured this without
a murmur till the death of her husband
and all his near relatives, we ask if she had not
done all and more than all that one human being
could be expected to do for another to endure all
she did endure? To suffer silentywas thepart of
a strong noble-minded woman, and at the last
the right to vindicate the name she was to leave
behind from the Misrepresentation which had
been her lifelong companion, should have been
cheerfully granted her as the least recompense
the world could offer for all its ill usage"

CUTTING ADRIFT.
Another Divorce "Without PubIicity'' In Moral


Mr.. James Fisher, eX-Justlce of the Peace in Hud-
son County, n. j., and lawyer in New York, who is
now in jail in Raymond street awaiting the action Of
the Grand Jury on a charge Of stealing judgment
roll from the Office Of the County Clerk in Brooklyn
appears in new role. The new case is entitled
'Clara Fisher VS.. William Fisher" Mr.. Edwin James,
for plaintiff, YESTERDAY, applied to the Su-
Judge Gilbert presiding, for an order calling upon
the defendant to show cause why the decree OF
divorce obtained in this suit and all the proceedings
should not be vacated upon the ground Of fraud. 1t
appeared from the statement made that the plaintiff
was lady Of property residing at Hackensack
N j., the defendant was a lawyer carrying on bust
ness at No. Is Nassau street, New York city. The
plantf deposed that she married the defendant in
July, 1865 and she had recently discovered that he
had obtained divorce and upon searching the
records of the court decree of divorce was found
which had been filed on the 1st Of October
1865. The alldavlt stated that the defendant
had induced her by false representations to
sign complaint telling her that the object of the
proceedings was to secure an income for herself and
her children, and that she positively refused upon
many occasions to take any proceedings for a d-
yorce. 1t was further alleged that the defendant
was carrying on an adulterous intercourse with one
Mary Frances Stevens, had deserted his wife and
children, and since he obtained the decree of divorce
had married her. Mrs. Fisher swore positively that
she had employed no lawyer, and was ignorant of
the whole proceedings, which were a fraud upon her
and upon the cOurt.-M y. Paper Of TO-DAY.

Special Despatch TO The EUentrg Telegraph
New YORK. Oct. 2.-The markets open this
morning with less inclination to speculate, and
the attendance at the several boards-parti-
cularly the Gold Room-has fallen off
since yesterday. In the latter room
about twenty men could be found
surrounding the ring-we mean that which in
closes the fountain-who had temerty enough
to bid for small sums of gold, not with that
swagger that was so characteristic last week,
but in subdued tones, fearing to arouse too loud
a noise as they do not desire to hear the hol-
low echo that will resound throughout the
vacant room.
There is but one that seems willing to trade
on a large scale, and that is Colgate, of Trevor Il
Colgate. He gives some foundation to the
board by his portly presence Previous to the
opening of the quotations motion prevailed

ing house, so that by Monday next the board
could commence in legitimate way.
The Opening Quotations.
The price opened at 1907, with loans ranging
from per cent. to fiat. The stock market has
been unsettled, in consequence of the affairs
that exist between the Lake Shore road and the
late lamented firm of Lockwood & Co. Legrand
Lockwood states that he will resign the trea-
surership in few days, and that their indebted
| ness to that company is not as large as repre-
sented.
Lack of Confidence.
The general lack of confidence still prevails to
some extent and the idea is that it will not do to
| force prices up as it will have tendency to
throw out too much stock that is held back fol
high figures, but the prices are well maintained
though attended with no activity.
Exchange and Bonds.

on Government securities, but ON miscellaneous
collaterals the rates range from to 10 per cent

private lenders at 10@2 per cent according to the
character of the securities offered. Gold opened at
1904 and closed at noon at 1907. Governments
We're quiet but steady.
