| that there should be no opposition to the
installation g'ofH lieutenant Governor
| Simpson, and. that he shouldcnosl be re-

! evident from the character, Of the discus
sion ii the Senate tBat the rank and file
of the Radical Senators, with or without
! the knowledge of;Gleaves and Swails, had
determined to, compel the arrangement,
| if they coupled with it conditions that
would make It advantageous to them and
exceedingly Injurious to the Democracy.
The Democracy, purely as matter OF
courtesy and as q concession to the Re-
publicans, had assented, to, the, ar
rangement, being thoroughly satisfied
that Iieutenant- Governor Simpson had
q constitutional right and the power to

record as denying the validity Of any act
done by ethe Wallace Housej and such
members Of the, Senate as asresponded to
its call last winter, The Democrats we're
prepared for this movement, and met it

validity ofthe joint convention bywhich
Hampton and Simpson; were installed,
and also, confirmation, of the, action Of
that convention in electing Gen. Butler

indications are that Willard is ahead,

since yesterday. Many members, such
as the delegation, from pAbbeyille, while
voting, for local. candidate on the first
ballot for local reasons, will, Or major
ity of them will, vote fer Willard on the
second ballot. Governor Hampton takes
no part whatever,id tEGte election, except
I'd tell those gentlemen who ask his opin.

wise, toelect Willard. BInj the event OF

will be vacancy for Associate Justice.
F For this position there are "a number of
candidates. none; of'whom have, however,
manifested ANY considerable strength.
