ALABAMA AND TENNESSEE = sPEouLArIoNs con-
cERNINd THE FALL CAMPAIGN.
WAsHINNToN, Aug. 25.-The Republican Con-
gress Campaign Committee here is in receipt of
trustworthy advices from Alabama and Tennes-
see. in regard to the pending political campaign
in those States. The news received from Alaba-
ma indicates that the Republicans will carry the
State beyond question, provided they can sue
ceed in reconciing their own quarrels and differ
ences. Gov. Smith is a candidate for renomina-
ton, but having fallen out with the northern ele
ment, is bitterly opposed by it, and charged with
failure to protect unionists from Ku-Klux out
RACES. The Hon. Joshua Morse, now Attorney
General Of the State, is spoken of the success
ftil candidate for Governor, and Auditor Rey-
nolds has also considerable strength In the 1st
or Mobile District, Col. II. II. Myers will PRADA
bly, receive the nomination for Congress, and in
the lid District Mr.. Bulkley will doubtless be
renominated. In the Hid District there is
quarrel between the friends Of Judge Helm, the
was member OF the XLth Congress, which, un-
less settled, will result in the election of DEM
ociat In the IVth District Mr. Hays will be re-
nominated, and elected by Republican majority
of at least $4,000. The With and With Districts
will try to elect Republicans in place of the pres
ent Democratic members; but owing to the in
timidation of colored voters, the prospect is not
very ilattering. James L. Rapier, native col
ored man of high attainments, and who was
educated in Europe, will doubtless be nominated
tor Warner is not considered certain, owing to
the fact that in the event of the election of q
Republican House of Representatives he will be
met with the claims of native Unionists for the
place. The Senate holds over, but 100 members
Of the House are to be elected. out of which the
Republicans expects to carry 60. The Senate is
largely Republicans but the majority of the
Senators appear to favor the election of native.
The fight will be, of course, in caucus, and if
Senator Warner is nominated by the caucus he
will receive the active support of Senator Spen-
Ger and others who are fighting him now in the
Republican party.
The advces from Tennessee are that the quar-
rel between the Secession Old Line Wing and
Secession Democratic parties is tercely waged,
the former presenting Gen. John O. Brown, and
the latter Gen. Quarles, both Confederate Off
GERS, for nomination for Governor. In the event
of Gen. Browns nomination, the Secession DEM
ocracy propose to run Andy johnson independ-
emily. Should this contingency happen, the Hon,
John Tlimble, who will be the Republican stand
ity vote. The reelection of the Hon. Horace
Maynard is considered certainty, but since the
late troubles of II. r. Butler, the LIST District is
doubtful. The Republicans are in a majority
there but may lose it by bad management. The
Hon. N. w. Taylor, late Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, and an ex-member, is spoken of as a
candidate for Congress. He is bitterly opposed
by Andrew johnson. In all the other districts,
no Republican can be elected unless in the Hid,
With, and With Districts. The Democrats pre-
sent more than one candidate Bailie Peyton in
the With, and Edmund Cooper in the WITH Dis
trict, have considerable strength but the fact Of
their having been originally Union men initiates
largely against them in the ranks of the Demo-
