The sEHAgoRsHIP.
From interviews with O majority Of the
members of both houses Of the GeJcrat AS.
senbly yesterday it appears that opinion Is
very much divided as 10 the senatorsbfp.
The members, Sinee they arrived here, have
been 40 pressed by office.seekers ana so oe.
eupied With personal affiirs that they have
had little opportunity Of exchanging TfeWs.
It was, however, the general opinion that
the Southwestern members would 60 solfdly
for the reelection Of Senator Johnston, and
that Mr. Johnston could count on considers
able Though somewhat scattered strength
from other sections Of the State. The names
Of Ex-Governor Letcher aud Hon. Alex:
ander A. 81. Stusrt are frequently
heard, and legislators from the Valley
say they will insist that their section is
entitled to the nomination, especially as
they can present net only two, but 8 dozen
good names. Hon. John Goode, Of Norfolk,
Is the sYowed favorite of q large number,
and is regarded as q very formidable
candidate. The name Of Major John W..
Dsniei will afndouDtediy be presented by
friends, who rely much on the fact that a
large number OF members of the present
General Assembly are young and progressive
men. A very earnest and Influential friend
of Ex-Governor Walker said that very. pro-
badly bis claims would not be advanced at
this time. The impression to some extent
prevails that Governor Kemper will not per-
NIT himself to be brought into the contest,
but no one seemed authorized to speak au-
thoritatviy on the subject. Ex-Governor
William Smith has plenty of warm ad-
mirers, who intend to urge him whenever
the opportunity is thought to be favorable.
Mr. Coghill is also regarded as strong as
most Of those here mentioned. ~
In addition to these, It is very likely that
some dozen other names Of less prominent
gentlemen will be brought forward. Indeed,
In nearly every county there is some aspi'
rant; and several members remarked to our
reporter, that they would have to fatter that
class BY complimentary votes. .s

toners as rapidly as possible, and is in
constant receipt for remittances from
country correspondents. 1t is paying
its debts and receiving deposits and
paying checks against the same, in
