The telegraph brings us bad but inn
portant news from Washington in the
announcement of the serious illness OF
Senator John w. Johnston, Of this
State. His family had been telegraphed
from Abingdon. While we all, ofcourse,
indulge in hopes ofthe recovery Of our
distinguished senatorial representative,
vet should his illness terminate fatally
it will at once devolve upon the General
Assembly a most important duty
Senator Johnston was last elected In
1875, and his term, if not cut short BY
death, expires on the 4th of March,
1888. But we trust they will never be
called upon to GIL a vacancy.-State.
