At the proper time the UNION AND
AMERICAN (which means Jno. G..
Burch) will advocate Gov. Browns
claims, as will nearly every other Con-
sentative journal In Tennessee that ia
vored the funding bill. This latter
clause will be denied In some quarters.
But wait and see.
Yes; better wait and see, instead of
trying to make little capital out of
false predictions.-UNIoN AND AMER

Knoxville Chronicle, Rep.
The Nashville papers announce the
arrival of ex-President johnson in that
city. He Will probably establish head
quarters there soon, which means bust
ness. We happen to know that his
friends are thoroughly organized and
that they are at work. If Gov. Brown
expects to gain the goal of his present
ambition without a struggle, he Will
very soon discover his mistake.

I hear of no Jobs before the Legisla-
ture, and trust We will have wise legis-

Senatorial candidates are numerous
and busy. The great commoner, Ex-
President johnson, is expected here
next week. The outlook now is GER
tain defeat for him. He will poll the
highest vote at the onset, but the first
ballot will be his highest. Bate,
Brown, Savage, Ewing, Quarles,
Stevens and Henry, all have sup
porters. In this section, Gen. Bate
appears formidable. His friends count
fifteen votes for him in the counties
composing this and the Fourth Con-
gressional District, and they claim that
he has fair prospect of getting many
more In Middle Tennessee. OF course /
know nothing, never having presumed
to interview a representative of the
dear people, as to whom he would vote
for. The johnson men are not san

one to-day. He wanted to know why

the way, the GreeneUille American goes
out against Mr.. johnson, saying he is
an autocrat in politics.
In this particular section the race
for Comptroller appears to be between
Gen. Dunlap and Col. Burch. Burch
and his friends claim, upon an investi-
cation, he can not only show clean
hands as to any completely In the Hobbs
matter, but positive ignorance that
bargain, and intrigue existed, as Is
charged, and that so far as he and his
friends are concerned they were not
connected with it directly or remotely,
and understand they challenge inves-
tigation. He has made good and eff

up, viii be formidable candidate. Mr..
Dorch and Col. Ed. Cheatham have ac-
tive friends at work for them, and your
readers need not be astonished If DIR.
Morrow should be defeated for Urea
surer.
Gardenhire, Head, Bond and Cum
minis are spoken Of for Speaker of the
House. Cummins has many friends
here in his interest, doubtless, because
of his known capacity as a presiding
officer.
The Speakership of the Senate is not
in demand. Overton and Blizzard are
the only ones l have heard spoken of.
