johnson Ahead in the Race for the ScnHtOrship.
The Nashville correspondent of the Cincn-
natl Commercial writes:-
Nearly every paper in the United States has
something to say in regard to the probabilities
of A. j. turning up in the Senate as a successor
of Fowler and colleague of Browuow. In my
opinion, Judging altogether by the tone of the
people of this State. and the political complex
ion of the Legislature just elected he is rs GER
tain to be elected to that desirable position as
the sun is to rise on the morrow. No one is
named as his competitor who can stand against
him in the race, and, what is mOre no one can
be named who will make % respectable exhibit
when the ballot is taken. / see that vour
Washington correspondent has much to say
about Hon. Bailic PCyton in connection with
the position He may be talked of in Wash
ington, but he is hardly thought of here that is.
i'm connection with the Senate. Mr. Peyton is
u high-tOned gentleman, an Old Line Whig, and
more than all he was one OF the staunchest
Union men Tennessee or any other State ever
produced
But he can't stand against johnson, nor can
Etheridge, Cooper, Stokes, or Senter. The lat
ter gentleman will perhaps come the nearest to
il, as many of the ncwly-elected Senators and
Representatives will feel under obligations to
him for their pOsitiOns-and they all ought to
but the magic name of Andy Johnson will knock
Sentcr and all the balance into "back seats"
The election for Senator will take place soon
after the Legislature meets, but the chosen man
will be unable to take his seat for two years, as
Fowler's time will not expire until 1871. But
if Johnson is elected or even before the election
comes off, no one need be surprised to hear of
FOwlers resignation. Fowler knows, and every
body else knows, that he would never have been
there had it not been for johnson, and now
that a. j. is in condition to assume the
mantle himself, it would be base ingrattude in
Fowler to stand in the way Let the thirty
five who voted to send A. J. up Salt river pre-
pare for the arrival of their man and brother,
for it is tOlerably certain that he is coming.

PrOcec ding in the Congress Yesterday After


After the closing OF our report yesterday after
noon the following proceedings took place in
the Congress of the National Labor Union in
session at the Assembly Buildings
Mr.. NJ. Il. Walsh read the following additional
New YORK, Aug. IS SNSG9.-To Mr.. Walsh:-
At meeting of Typographical Union, No. g,
held last evening, the following was unanimous
" adOpted:-N hereas, the President OF this
Union. and Mr.. Alexander Troup, waited upon
Miss Anthony in April last and requested her to
pay the scale of prices to female compositors,
which she agreed TO do, but has not done, and
whereas the statement made by her in the Labor
Congress that the IHdepeHdeiH and other olllces
in New York city were not paying as high prices
as the ReUOLUtiOH is false as there are females
receiving ten per cent. higher prices than are
paid in the ReCOlUtiOB, and whereas, the state
ment made by her i'm said Labor Congress that
she did not know that the President of Womens
Typographical Union, No. is false that lady haV-
ing had n long Interview with her on the subjects
therefore be 1t resolved, that we considerit an
insult TO our entire organization to admit her as
a delegate to the National Labor Congress.
VIM. STIRK,
President of the New York Typographical
Union, No. q, on behalf of 1000 members
He then continued ald said that if Miss An
thony was OF more use than the delegates of the
Typographical Union then admit her, but they
would not be with the convention. If she is
deemed to be of more use to the movement than
the Iypographical Onlon then keep her here,
Mr.. Cameron, of H., defended the admission
of Miss Anthony on the ground of her admission
to the previous Congress and the justness of her
claims and deprecated the proposed withdrawal
of the delegates of the Typographical Union of
New York as an indication OF the existence of a
spirit of secession.
%. B. DALEY, of Ohio, in reply, stated that the
gentleman from Massachusetts yesterday said
mat it would be far better. for one-half of the
convention TO secede than to deny admission tC
Miss Anthony. "If we are dared to meet tht

women to the standard of men, but to degrade
men to the level.of women.
Miss Anthony took the floor amid cries of
Question" but was finally given an opportu-
nifty TO speak. She then said she would put a
few plain questions to the men present who had
the inside track. There must be an antagonism
until men and women occupy an equal platform,
civil and political. Why have you admitted
these blacks to your Congress? Would you
have done so four, eight, or ten years ago? The
only thing that made equality was the ballot
and woman is entitled to it. This is the reason
why the black men this day stand here triumph.
ant. This is the reason why my presence here
is questioned, and why any map present dared
to open his mouth is because her constituency
was dumb constituency, and docs not possess
the ballot.
The motion to allow the delegates to withdraw
was voted down.
Mr. Coggswcl, of H. felt it his duty solely
as delegate of the convention, and through no
prejudice against the lady to move that the
vote admitting Miss Anthony be reconsidered.
The previous question was called, and
being seconded by the requisite number, the
motion to reconsider was agreed to. Yeas,
~: nays, 2S.
This opened the question and Mr.. o. B.
DALEY moved that the credentials of Miss An
thOny do not be received.
Mr.. West, of Mississippi, moved as substi-
tutC that the whole subject be referred to Il
special committee of five, who shall proceed to
New York and investigate the matter. He did
OF principle.
The motion to refer was not agreed to--yeas,
49, nays 81.
The previous question was then called for, on
the motion not to receive the credentials of
Miss Anthony, and being seconded, the yeas
and nays we're called, with the following result:

Miss Anthony still retains a seat on the floor
as an cN-Gclcgate but has no right to vote.
motion was made to reconsider the vote,
which was laid on the table
Mr.. Sylvis, of Pa, moved that a recess be
taken until o'clock this afternoon. to allow
the various committees time to transact their
business 1t was Withdrawn for the present
On motion, committee of five was created to
consider document relating to finances.
The Committee on Credentials made an addi-
tiOnal report, admitting two more delegates,
one from California and the other from Grand
Rapids.
MIR. Sylvis then renewed his motion, and it
passed, and the Congress adjourned until this
afternoon at , o'clock.
