NO SENATOR YET.

Yesterdays balloting was without
result. Gen. Bate led Mr.. johnson 70
the close. The former was then with
drawn and Gov. JnO. 9. Brown re-nOm-
mated by Speaker Bond, who had been
supporting Mr.. johnson. The Conyen-
ton adjourned without a ballot, after
the last nomination, IN state Of confu-
sion far from creditable to that body.
Mr. Ewing's supporters adhered to him
as heretofore. Senator Polk placed IN
nomination Judge J. L. T. Sneed, a
very able and pure man, in an eloquent
speech, bat without effect, as he re-
ceived only two votes at any time dur
ing the FIVE ballots.
As we uttered our warning last week,
we again say, with even greater en-
phasis: The Democracy Of Tennessee,
IN relation to the internal affairs Of the
State, and in its relation to the DemOc-
racy of the Union, cannot afford astrife
for mere personal promotion, which
may threaten to disintegrate the OneOr
disrupt the other We have 10 lot
apart from the people in this
contest. In both our private and
public capacity, we are Of the people,
AMI only desire to express frankly
and plainly what the people wish. As
we understand them by their votes in
the recent elections, and through all
other sources of information, they are
for united Democracy in Tennessee,
and by that means they desire to be an
effective auxiliary force In expelling
Radicalism from power throughout the
Union. They have Just witnesses an
upheaval Of public opinion, both north
and south of them, which promises
glorious fruits In the future Of our COM
mon country. The great, and 1t
may be,'decisiye battlein 1876 is before
them, and the people feel that
no participant in a contest for place,
should stand in the way of their high
and patriotic desires. They do not
consider any man as their indispensa-
ble representative. They expect Of
their agents in the Legislature to look
to their interests, State and national IN
the selection of a United States
Senator: and che man or men IN that
body who forgets hisObIgationto them
IN his vote, and by it gives his sanction
to discord viii be held to strict account
It's the duty, therefore, of the mem
bers of the Legislature to consider
fully what is to advance the high
interests of the people in the
Senatorial election, and to hon
estly, conscientiously and fearlessly
carry It out. The claims Of Brown,
Bate, johnson, Quarles, Stephens or
Ewing, are but secondary considera-
lions, for the masses are above them
all, and demand that the best interests
Of the commonwealth shall not suffer
.-st the hands of their representatives.

alton this week. One is for an increase Of
the army to about twice its present
strength. This will be presented vigorous
", and the chances are that it will be favor
ably reported by the majority Of the COM
mittee Southern Republicans insist very
strongly that the army ought to be doubled
in strength, in order to preserve peace IN
the Southern States. Western Congress
men want the increase made on account Of
the Indians. The Secretary Of War, Of
course, favOrs the proposition, as do the
officers Of the army generally, who desire
promotion, and lose no opportunity to i'm
press their views upon friends in Con
gress. Altogether the influence in favor Of
the increase was never so strong as it is
to-day.
The second proposition is that which was
recommended by the President in his re-
cent special message, to appropriate $780,
600 for the manufacture of heavy guns.
This viii undoubtedly be reported on Ia
vOrably by the committee, as it has been
repeatedly urged upon them by one Of the
highest military officers.

The Navy Department Building
in Washington on Fire.
Great Excitement, but Little
Damage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Navy
Department caught fire in the upper
story about half past twelve this
evening, and is burning fiercely. The gen
eral alarm has been sounded and fire en-
glneS from all directions are in service.
The flames as yet seem confined to the
rooms just below the roof, but are making
headway. Fears are felt that the building
will be consumed. The rooms on fire are
stored generally with records, and are like
ly to be destroyed. RumOr has it that some
persons are in the upper story, and the fire.
men are attempting rescue. The supply
Of water seems scarce. The wind is blow
ing moderate breeze from the northwest,
in an opposite direction to the War De
partment, which is next to the Navy De-
partment building, and there is little dan
ger Of that department catching on fire.
The fire originated in the east end Of the
main building.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Two O'eLOCK.-The fire is still burning
ing the Navy Department, but it is be-
lieved now that the flames will be confined
to the upper rooms where they originated.
No life has been lost, as was feared, though
some Of the employees and officers of the
Navy on duty in the building were in
danger Of sufOcatiOn while attempting to
remove the valuable records. The upper
floors are now completely flooded with
water, and many Of the records will be
seriously damaged.
THIRD DISPATCH.
The fire in the Navy Department is COM
pletely under control, and investigation
shows that the building is as much dam
aged by water as by the flames. It is
thought the fire originated from defective
fue, as the room in which il was first dis
covered was unOccupied. Nearly all the
papers destroyed can be supplied. The
Secretary's Office proper, inSthe wing of the
main building, was not damaged, though
every preparation was made for removing
the furniture and official papers.

NEW OHLEANs, Jan. 25.-The Congress

Secretary Of State was required to furnish
the papers that were before the Returning
Board.
The McEneryites have again proposed 10

Speaker Hahn don't believe the Republi-

Congressional Committee now in New Or
leans, take the returns and declare who
were elected to the Legislature.

The most extravagant demonstrations of
popular feeling were made at Garibaldi's
reception to-day. The people took the
horses from his carriage and drew him to
the hotel. The crowd around the hotel
was so great that Garibaldi was obliged to
leave incognitO, and proceed to a private
residence. He is expected to be present on
Monday nightsin the Chamber Of Deputies,
and will probably speak during the debate
on the arrests of Republicans.
The Chamber Of Deputies rejected the

THE MISSISSIPPI BASIN.
Report OF the Board Of Engineer,

Report OF the Board Of EngIneeFs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The President
sent to the House Of Representatives to-
day the report Of the Board Of Engineers
appointed to recommend a pan for the re-
clamatiOn Of the alluvial basin of the Mis-
siSsip river subjecs to inundatiOn. The
commissioners estimate that the necessary
hydrOgraphical and typographical surveys
Will occupy three years and cost about
100000. They recommend a present ap-
preparation Of 100000 for tlis purpose.
The result Of surveys can be made avail
able and work commenced in construction
Of levees without waiting the completion
of surveys. The Commission recommends
the immediate appropriation Of S3,000,0O0
to repair existing breaks or CrevaSes in the
State Of Louisiana; $4,000 for same pur-
pose in Arkansas, and $4,000 for the State
Of Mississippi. They say if these apprO-
prOpriatiOns are not made, the disastrous
inundatiOns Of last year will be repeated
in the event Of a high food in the river
this spring. The report is signed by
Generals q. X. Warner and II. L. Abbott,
Of the United States engineer corps; Maj
VIM. II. Benyawad, United States en-
