Despatch TO The BUe1ltIg Telegraph.
NASHVILLE, Nov. A.-The sentiment of the
Legislature on the Chinese question was devel-
oped yesterday on the passage of bill iucor-
porating the Mississippi Valley Importation
Company. An amendment forbidding the i'm
portation of Chinese into Tennessee was adopted
in the House by a vote of So to 10.
The Convention Question.
The convention question is exciting a good
deal of attention throughout the State, and there
is no lack of candidates. While there are no very
defined issues as yet enunciated in connection
with the election Of delegates, it is well under
stood that there is an undercurrent of feeling on
two points, especially reputation of the State
debt and negro suffrage. 1t is broadly asserted
that Andrew johnson, who will be a delegate
will represent the reputation and anti-negro
suffrage ideas, and that he will press them on the
attention of the convention. There will be a
few of the same style of thinking, but it is re-
liably certain thatthe political personnel of the
convention will be such that the State credit
will not be tampered with, nor is there any
doubt that the negro will have political rights
extended to him by constitutional provision
The Legislature is rushing through business
pretty lively. 1t will probably adjourn about
the middle of December.
