| NASHVILLE, October Is.-There was
a caucus of the House tonight. John
son agreed to submiti Etheridge':
friends were not present, and refused
to attend. So far as I can learn, the
Senate stands fifteen for johnson on
the first ballot, and the House thirty
eight, making altogether within one
vote of election. In the House, cur
teen are doubtful and twenty @At
straight-out against the ex-Presiao.it.
The war against the peoples choice
for the Senate is more bitter than ever,
and is waged with unrelentiPg fury.
Nothing like it has ever been known
in the history of Tennesseei If puts to
shame tho old-time fights Of Jackson s
time. johnson is assailed for all sorts
of reasons, private, personal and pub
lie, and is charged with every imagin-
able crime except theft snd pecula-
tion-with these his worst enemies do
not charge him. Whatever else they
try to make him, they say he is hon
est and incorruptible. The extreme
Radicals are especially bitter upon
him, and are warm in their opposition
to his election to the Senate.
The Senate have agreed unanimous
IL that all bonds shall be paid as soon
as possible. No such thing as repudi-
alton will be thought of for "a moment.
The consequence Of this action of the
Senate is that bonds have advanced
five per eent.
The fair and the races are regarded
with great interest, but the grounds
were not crowded to-day. SO great is
the interest felt in the senatorial cleo
tlqn, thst even the sporting men can
not turn from it to give their time and
attention TO their legitimate, OF illegit-
innate, occupation.
