THE sENAToR1A1 FIGHT IN TENNESSEE.

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT IN TENNESSEE.
The most interesting Senatorial election
TINT las tnken place in my State for a long
timo is TINT now going OIL in tho Legislature
OF Tennessee for United States Senator. Tho
Legislature consists Of 100 members. OF
these thoro aro but eight Republicans. Tint
party 1nny therefore DO considered out Of tho
fight, which Is exclusively among tho Demo-
Gratis. Tho Democratic candidates are nu-
merous. Though tho party has " Of the 100
members, it has been, 80 far, unsuccessful in
uniting sufficient number to elect
Tho popular feeling Of tho State
seems to bo in favor Of ANDREW
JOHNSON, who, beginning with IL or 1G
votes, now controls some 10. Time

nessce, members Of tho Legislature recog-
nize the right of instruction, mud several Of
JoussoN's opponents in tic Legislature hare
already changed their votes to him because
Of writton instructions md petitions sent to
them signed by majority Of the voters in
their districts.
On Saturday, x-Robcl Gen. BATE received
48 votes for Senator. when 10 was required
to elect, and he would have been elected Ind
not ono Of tho members who would have
voted for him been so overcome by the ex-
element Of the acono Tint he had to be car

The fight in Tennessee is tho old one, in
which ANDREW JOHNSON has taken a part dur
ing his whole public life He has never on
joyed the respect or confidence Of tho ''upper
class" or aristocracy of Southern politicians.
! He was nover secessionist nor nu1liier.
| Ho rejected tho extrome doctrines Of State
Rights and State Sovereignty Democrats Ho
has always boen National, as opposed to a
State Sovereignty, Democrat. When the War
came, JOHNSON adhered to the Union, and the
others followed the Estate" into rebellion.
But, nevertheless, JOHNSON has always had
the support Of tho minority Of the people Of
| Tennessee, rs he has now in this fight with
his old Democratic enemies. If the election
can be prolonged few days, it ia moro than
likely that ANDY will "swing around tho
circle" ngain into his old seat which he oe-
cupied nt tho time the Rebellion broke out.

Tho National Board Of Trade of tho Do
minion of Canada have adopted o resolution
urging that in tho enlargement Of tho Mel
mud Canal the depth on tho inter stills Of tho
locka be increased to fourteen ttft, so Us to
admit the passage OF tho largest-sized vessels
employed on tho 1alscs. OF course this in
crease Of the depth in tho Welland Canal
must be supplemented by liko increaso in
tho other canals, 10 that tho largest-sizcd
steamers from Chicago may 60 to md como
buck from Montreal with full cargoes. The
enterprise OF our Canadian brethren Is com.
nendable. They are not walters on Proyi-
denoe. They do not sit down idle md cali
upon the gods to help them. They put thoir
own shoulders to tho wheel. Tho State OF New
York has for twenty years refused to enlarge
the Eric Canal, deepen its locks, or iucrease
its capacity. During those twenty years the
State has received nearly twenty-five millions
Of dollars Of surplus revenue from TINT canal.
In the meantime the trade has tlriftcd away.
Philadelphia, Baltimore, boston, Portland,
and Montreal have grasped it. The Canadi-
aus, with energy md pluck, have undertaken
to extend the navigation OF the Upper Lakcs
to Montreal, and thus effectually fink the
Eric Canal and the City of Now
York. While the people Of Canaau
are expanding their five or six millions
Of dollars to enlarge their system Of canals tt

The disasters to the British marine durr3
tho past month have boen unparalleled II
number and severity. The list Is simply sI'
palling. Firat came the cable stoamer Il
Plata, which went down, involving loss Ct
sixty lives. This was quickly followed by tn
burning Of the emigrant ship Cospatrick, oa'
Of tho most terrible disasters On record. 0a'
Of 46o people on board only three woro saved
During the present month aix British steaua'
ers lave been lost The Cortos, in tho Bay
Of Biscay tho Bride, OF the French coast;
tho Alice, faom Cardiff to ConRtantinoplai
the Borar, from Odessa for Cardiff; tSe
Thornab;a, from Cardiff for Bombay ana
the Mongol, near Hong Kong; the six tllsas
ters involving loas OF 121 lives, which, addsa
to tho two previously mentioned, makes
the total Of 62s lives lost within the past fss
weeks. In view OF this fearful sacriaca o.
human lifo In such short spaca Of time, W.
pL1MsoIn, the British member of pa'lts
ment, seems TO be justified In the charges ~
has made that the English marine companls'
have no souls, aud are knowingly sond'ns
out rotten vessels which are entirely unse'
worthy and lable to 60 down at any moment
It is now possible that the English PaEls
ment will pay some attention TO A1r. Pl1a
SOILS charges, aud that the insurance COIL
panies will join him il demanding an snTet
ugatiou.
