would be Unable to discover any other
means to make and keep the volume of

FROM NASHVILLE.

Private advIces from Nashville iu-
dictate that, while ex-President John.
son viii lead all his contestants in the
Senatorial race. his chances for cleo.
ton are poor. lie claims about forty
five votes, but his opponents concede
him but thirty-fivc. John G. Brown
friends are blue. lie does not muster
the strength his admirers expected.
The beauties of his administration
are not appreciated by the people as
they seem to be by the friends who
daily wait upon him while in power.
1t Is not probable that he can muster
over eleven votes, though as mere
matter of compliment he may get
more. stephens friends are hopeful
that he may come in rs n compromise
man.
Upon this head we give the specu.
lations of the Memphis AppeorS cor
respondent. ON the 5th:
Mr. Billiards. dcfest has caaed much Cos.
sip, as his friends deemed his election GER
tain. some say it is johnson victory, as
Fast Tennessee has not been allowed an of.
iccr, 10th Gardenshire and BLIZZARD being
defeated Gossip has il that Payne's cleo
tiun signifies the probability of u johnson
combination having been effected, and that
the Treasurer and Comptroller will be from
Middle and West Tennessee by the same
combination, so as to give East Tennessee
additional claims FOR the Senatorship.
Some say it is a conira-combination to de-
feat the combinations attempted against
Mr.. johnson by his opponents in East,
Middle and West Tennessee.
The Senatorial aspect is undergoing
changes, and some say Brown is gaining
strength. Others are hopeful Of johnson 5
election. Rumor has it that Bate gains by
Bonds election. Others declare Quarles
much stronger than anticipated and still
others declare that Savage may come in.
while Ewings friends say he may be the
coming man. Rumors of every combina
ton are rife, and much SPECULATION about

ADVICE, from Nashville Indicate
that the contest for Comptroller and
Treasurer is growing warm. BY our
specials from there yesterday morn
inc, it will be seen that resolutions
were introduced in each House on
Tuesday. providing for the appoint
ment of committee to investigate
the famous Hobbs story. This is
said to be in the interest Of Colonel
Burch. OF course such an investiga-
ton must be hurried. and in the very
nature Of things superficial. If a
committee after a short sitting should
come mp and report that Colonel
Burch had nothing to do with the
twelve thousand dollar transaction.
that gentleman would assume the role
Of a martyr and work upon the sym
pathieS Of members of the Legislature
by crying out, persecution" This
is the programme of the Burch fac
ton no doubt.
There are other features in the con-
test which make it interesting. We
have two candidates for Comptroller
and one for Treasurer from this city.
1t Is not likely that both officers will
be selected from the same locality.
This makes it interesting for our
neighbors, and there is no telling
what combination may grow out of it.
In such a contest it is every man
for himself and the devil take the
hiudmost."

The ASSOCIATED Press dispatches
from New Orleans are sent to Wash
ington and then Northward. Those
sent to the Southern papers outside
of Nashville, Memphis and Louisville,
are doctored up at Washington to
suit the politics Of the most of the
papers receiving them, which are of
course Bourbon Democratic. This
report is not only carelessly made up,
often emitting mere mention of i'm
portant news, but it is generally par
tisan to mean extent. We publish
these reports often without emitting
any part, and desiring to give both
sides, we are often compelled to pub
fish specials to other journals. Most
of the Southern papers give but the
one side. They would not let their
readers see the full facts.
