ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH.
NASHVILLE, October THE Legisla-
ture proceeded TO business to-day, but
nothing OF importance was transacted.
The message of Governor Senter viii not
be delivered until Monday. The Demo-
Gratis charge that the cause of his delay
is his desire TO prevent the defeat of the
Fifteenth Amendment before the October
elections, they believing that the defeat
would aid Pendleton and Packer. The
rejection of the amendment seems to be
Torsgone conclusion.
BY THE NAIL OF YESTERDAY.
The Press aud Times (Rsdical) says: ''If
the most iliberal, intolerant and malig-
nsnt OF the Nashville Ring were to give a
candid expression TO their wishes, they
would take Mr.. johnson next to a man of
their own stripe, In the confident belief
that his election would overwhelm mod
crate Repnblicsnism in the North, and
place the most PrOscriptive type Of Radi-
calism in power. The result would inev-
ltRbly be that within six months Nash
VILE and Memphis would pass from un-
der the control Of their Taxpayers, and
the whole State would be subjected to
domination whose realities would far ex-
eeed the most exaggerated denunciations
which Conservatives ever uttered against
the State government of Tennessee. Can
Tennessee afford to pay such price for
the qualification of electing the father Of
the franchise law9 Perhaps she may
think so; but, in our humble Judgment,
the play Is not worth the cost of the can
die"
The Union and American (DemocrSticl
ssys; We published yesterday the en-
dorsement Of ex-President Johnson by
Tennessee State Convention OF June 9,
IS6s, which declared he had rendered
himself worthy of the highest mark of
confidence that may be bestowed upon
him. At the National Convention which
assembled in New York on the 4th of July
OF last year, the name of President John
son was presented by the Tennessee dele
cation as a candidate for the nomination
to be made by that Convention. Though
not nominated, he was fully endorsed by
Lhe Convention, as will be seen by refer
snce to the platform adopted by the Con-
vention. It declared and resolved:
That the President of the United
States, Andrew johnson, in exercising
the power OF his high office in resisting
the aggressions of Congress upon the con
stItutiOnal rights Of the States and the
people, Is entitled to the gratitude Of the
american people, and in behalf Of the
Democratic party we tender him our
thanks for his patriotic efforts in that re-
gard
ave have thus given the expression OF
the State and of the national conventions
relative TO the services of President John
son in his efforts to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution. What has he
done since then to have warranted the
fierce assaults which have been made upon
him within the past few weeks by those
who were then his supporters9
The Washington correspondent Of the
st. Louis Times says: A private letter
from agentleman in Nashville to friend
in this city, says that although there will
be considerable opposition to the election
OF Andrew Johnson, he will certainly be
elected Senator from Tennessee, when the
Legislature convenes. A canvass of the
Legislators, 1t Is said, il the basis for this
assertion, as is also another to the effect
that the fifteenth amendment will be de-
feated by a handsome majority. The
Constitutional Convention will be called,
the letter also predicts, which will effect
the enfranchisemeut of every person in
