STEWART, a democrat, and Foute, a
republican, were candidates to repre-
seat the counties of Polk and Bradley.
The certificate of election, which is.
the bone Of contention, from the sher-
if Of Polk county reads as follows;
James G.. Stewart received for joint
representative, $40 votes; NJ. F. Foute
received for joint representative. for
Polk and Bradley counties, 42J votes,
and one illegal vote, as appears
from the certificate of the judges and
inspectors and clerks of the election
in the second civil district of Polk
county, Fast Tennessee If the lie
gal vote for Foute in Polk county is
counted it makes him even with Stew
arts majority in Bradley county, and
therefore a tie. fit is not counted,
Stewart is elected by one vote. In the
event of tie, there is no provision in
the law for an election. This nice
and peculiar case has been before the
governor and secretary Of state for
some time, but it is understood that
they have failed to come to an agree
ment, aad it remains to be seen what
will be done by the house when it
meets. Both sides have been repre-
scented in the preparation Of papers
drawn up for the information of the
governor and secretary Of state. 1t is
understood at Nashville that the
house will stand: Republicans, 81;
democrats, 36; greenbackers, /; unde.
Cidsd, l. In this event, Nj. Warren,
the greenbacker, from McNairy coun-
~, becomes a very important factor in
the organization Of the next house,

The army retirements, which have
been deferred so long, have begun al
last, and have begun at the top. 1t is
probable that some ofthe changes thai
have been determined upon will be an.
nounced in the nominations to the
Senate tomorrow. The officer OF
highest rank to be retired Mai. Gen.
Irwin Mcdowell, who commands the
Military Division of the Pacific and
the Department Of California. This
makes a vacancy in the list Of Major
Generals, which will be filled pse facto
by the promotion Of Brig. Gen. John
Pope. The President was notanxinus
to retire Gen. Mcdowell, but General
Sherman insisted that Brigadier Gen
Ord should not bo retired while there
is an officer above him on the list who
is eligible for retirement. The Presi
dent was determined to retire Ord
aud has done it. He stood No. 4 on
tho list Of six Brigadicr Generals
There will remain only four Brigadier
Generals after these changes, viz
Howard, Terry, Augur Crook. One
Of the vacancies will be filled by the
appointment of Gen. Miles. now
Colonel of the Fifth infntry, the other
will very probably be filed by the pro.
motion Of Genral r, s. Mckenzie
