GOV sENIER AT THE STACEY
HOUSE LAST EVENING.
His Response 20 a serenade.

Gov. Senter and Gen. S.okCs arrived in
the city yesterday, after meeting their APP
pointment at Shelbyville on Thursday.
The headquarters Of the Governor are at
the Stacey House. Gen. Stokes has rooms
at the City Hotel. Yesterday was day
of recuperstion and rest for both of them.
The canvass has been an arduous one, and
has severely taxed the physical powers Of
both. The Governor has maintained il
manfully, having filled his time fully at
every point. His competitor, the elder
gentleman, has been unwell for a week
past, and at Pulaski and Murfreesboro was
unfit for duty.
The friends of both paid their calls
during yesterday, and the canvass closes
to day in this city. Gov. Senter will take
a weeks rest in Granger county at his
home, and Gen. Stokes will go 10 DeKalb
to rest and avail; The result.
The State Journal OF yesterday announ-
ces that Gen. Stokes will receive his
friends at the City Hotel to-day at 10
o'clock, before the business at the capitol
at ii o'clock,
The friends Of Gov. Senter gave him a
serenade at the Stacey House last
night at 8 o'clock, and he delivered
brief address in response. He ex.
pressed his thanks for the compliment
in BETTING and elegant terms. Six weeks
ago, he said, he had taken the standard in
his hands, and TO the best of his ability
had borne it through the contest. To the
great cardinal principle of equal suffrage
he had endeavored to do his duty. Under
it he was willing, if necessary, TO fall, but
expected from his observation to live, ana
that beneath that banner the people o
Tennessee would flourish again. He wal
confident of success, and looked forward Il
rehabilitation Of the State in more thai
its former prosperity, and restoration
the era of good feeling among all parties
His attention, he said, had been ca llet
10 certain statements in The State Journal
alleging that Gen. Stokes had been pre-
vented from speaking at Murfreesboro b.
threats of personal danger and violenc
towards his friends. Such reports hay,
gained circulation at Shelbyville. He re
cited the event of their meeting at Muir
freesboro-bis own interview with Gen
Stokes lying on his bed PROSTATE will
sickness-and his announcement to th
audience of the fact that his competito
was physically unable to speak, and hi
request that he should be excused. Il
view Of the perYersions in the State Jour
nal, he considered il his duty TO declar
that any statement that Gen. Stokes wa
bullied or deferred by threats of violence
was an unmitigated falsehood. 1t had n
foundation in fact, and his competito
would not support the assertion. Tn
allegations of the correspondent of III
paper referred 10, were slanderous and libel
lous Of the people of Rutherford county
The large crowd would have listened t
Gen. Stokes with as much pleasure, and il
equal order with himself.
After repeating his thanks for the com
pliment Of the call, the Governor with
rev to his parlors where he was visite'
by throng Of callers until late hour.

FIRST DOARD.

evening says Of money;
1.-THE week opens with an easy feeling in
money. The banks are now in a compare
lively strong position, holding $27, 500, 900
surplus over the lawful money reserve
required by law; while the loans ard
discounts stand $2l 100000 lower than a
year ago, when the street rate for money
was per cent. This week the banks will
gain 81 100000 currency from the pur-
chase of 3,G00,0 900 bonds on Wednesday
and 100000 on Thursday, which will
naturally add further to The ease of the
market. This morning the general rate on
loans on stocks and Governments is per
cent; in some exceptional leases balsnces
are left with dealers in Governments at 5
per cent"
The London Shipping Gszstte says of
the condition of the cotton trade:
"The cotton trade il still in a very pc
culiar position. The struggle between
Liverpool and Manchester, which has been
going on for 80 long time, has resulted
in the partial defeat Of the latter. The po-
sition of the raw material is statistically
strong, while the stccks OF cot on goods
throughout the world have been greatly
reduced, in consequence Of the restricted
exports from this country. Holders of
raw cotton have been further favored by
the fact that money has continued cheap,
which has given them considerable ad-
vantage in the contest with the spiuners
There is very little doubt, however, that
the latter have pursued the right policy in
limiting their purchases to the Utmost
extent, and they may net have cause to
regret having done 20. The restricted
consumption which has been going on has
impaired healthy tone TO both the Liv-
erpool and Manchester markets, snd more
activity may be anticipated in both, until
at least, present wants have bsen supplied.
The Immediate cause of the return Of nc
tivity is the condition Of the Eastern
markets, which must by this time be pretty
well bare Of goods. The shi pments to In
dia, as we have frequently pointed out,
have been on an unusually small scale
for some time past, and altogether out of
