Despatch 10 The EUening Telegraph.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 16.-The Legislature did
not transact any business of Importance yesterday.
Considerable numbers OF the members will go to
Franklin to-day, where Johnson is to speak. Andys
riends are still confident Of his election, although
the belief is largely entertained that he has been
losing strength during the last few days. Election
eering is as brisk as ever, the most extraordinary
efforts being made both sides through the press,
in the hotels, and in the streets.
It is not probable that johnson will refer directly
to the Senatorial question in his speech to-day The
election comes off on Tuesday, and the following
names are likely to be placed in nomination john
son. Etheridge, jordan, Stokes, Milten, Brown eX-
Governor Neil S. Brown. Judge Henry Cooper
A. o. p. Nicholson, Edwin Ewing, Bae Peyton,
Roberts, Tapp, and Il. A. II. Nelson.
If all these names are placed in nomination, as
seems probable the combined opposition will be able
to leave johnson in minority in the first ballot as
every candidate has some hackers The question is,
when concentration on some one man is resorted to,
will not considerable number who at first voted
from local considerations transfer their ballots to
johnson? Some certainly will, but whether enough
to elect is just now the puzzng query. 1t is not
probable that Etheridge can absorb enough votes to
elect himself.
State and County Fairs.
The county fairs throughout Tennessee have
never been as successful as this year. The State
Fair commences here on Monday, and it is expected
that very large crowds will be attracted TO Nash
vile during the week. The races also take place
next week, and brilliant meeting is anticipated.
There are over seventy horses now at the track.

Saturday, Oct. l6, 1852 (
There is more active demand for money this
morning, both at the banks and outside, and the
consequent pressure tends to harden the rates cur
rent but there is not sufficient change to justify us
IN quoting it. the curious anomaly presented in the
New York money market, and the contrast which it
presents to our own, can only be accounted
for by an indisposition on the part
OF the banks OF that city to discount grain paper
but this fails to clear up the mystery which surrounds
our own market The demand for money, both on
business and speculative account is below the aver
age at this period, and yet banks unable to
supply one-half the amount required of them. But
whilst II is difllcut to tell (which way the money
goes" from this centre it is undoubted that the rates
for all classes OF loans are high irregular and un-
satisfactory TO business borrowers.
Gold continues exceedingly dull, the entire range
OF fluctuations belngs3O9l3O1Gn no change from yes
terday.
There is barely sufficient transactions in Govern
ment bonds to-day to enable us to determine prices
but the tendency OF the latter especially for the new
issues, is decidedly improved.
There was no Improvement perceptible at the
Stock Board to-day, the sales being very limited, but
prices were rather steady.
In State and City loans there was not single
transaction to report.
Reading Railroad was quiet and ranged from 47H
