The New York Tribune recommends vallsn-
digham as the successor Of Rosecrans as the
Democratic candidate for Governor Of Ohio. 1t
says: "IIe has suffered prosecutions and obloquy
for his Democratic sentiments he Is the truest and
most conspicuous representative Of disparity and
its principles; and he has been canyassed 20
thoroughly that nothing new can be trumpcd up
against him." -
A Richmond letter states that the Walker Ro-
publican party is most likely to support. Frank
lin stearns and Gen. Robert Williams for United
States Senator'S. Mr.. Stcarns native Of New
York, has resided in Richmond thirty years. He
was Wing as long as the Wing party existed,
and was consistent Union man throughout the
war, having shared imprisonment with John MI
nor Bolts. General Williams is known as the
husband of the widow Of Stephen Douglas.
It is expected that something definite will be
made known in few days As to the position
Of the Administration relative to elections In
Mississippi and Texas. 1t is asserted that the
President Is emphatic in his denunciation OF the
Dent movement In Mississippi, and will give tho
active power Of the Administration In favor o.
the Radical party in that State, and In favor O.
the Davis party In Texas. The President Is 10
ported as advising Dent to have nothing to d.
with the conservative movement, and not to &C
cent the nomination for Governor II 1t shall b
rendered. The President is also reported rs say
ing that the refusal Of Gilmore TO coalesce will
the Wells faction convinces him Of the insincer
ity Of the Walker party and certainty Of tho re
establishment Of old party lines in the South.
Gen. Rosccnns, by telegraphic dispatch T.
Hon. A. q. Thurman. declines the Democratic
nomination Cor Governor Of Ohio. on account
he says, "of fulfilling duties deemed sacred to
my creditors AMI family"
A contemporary suggests that Congress, IL J,
does not sec fit to entirely repeal the duty on
foreign coal, will fix limit to the extortion Of
the miners by admitting the foreign article duty
free when the price Of domestic coal has reached
certain point.
A Nashville dispatch says additional returns
indicate that Senter's majority may reach Co..
600. But few counties give majorities for
Stokes. As far as heard from the State Senate
stands Conservatives 10, being majority Con-
sentative Republicans 4, with four districts to
hear from. The House Of Representatives has a
Conservative majority. 'r
Senter's majority for Governor Of Tenn. bids
fair to reach $4,000. What are the exact tencts
Of the party which has triumphcd We do not
know, and don't feel like specializing about It.
While they rcpudiatc themselves against calling
II democratic triumph, we are sure that the
result is not republican success. Alabama
does better.
Washington special says that adviccs from
Trustworthy source in Tennessee state that the
Legislature elect has been carefully canvassei,
with view to obtaining information regarding
the election Of United States Senator. The re-
suit shows that ex-President johnson will receive
the support Of all the Old Line Democrats, while
the Old Line Wings will support Balle Payton.
and the Republicans will nominate Stokes or some
other man Of similar political kin. The balance
Of power will doubtless be held by the Wings,
but few of whom will, under any circumstances,
be willing to vote fof their old antagonist, Andy
