WASHINGTON, ID. c., October "a, 1852
Nothing has yet been done in Tennessee
toward correcting the clerical error by which
the names Of three counties in one of the
Congressional districts Of that State
were ~omitted-,.in the rcapportiUumcnt
bill. The republican Governor has long
been aware of this error, and was ad
vised by both republicans and democrats
to callsan extra session ofthe Legislature 10
correct it, buttpeTsistently refused to do so,
for the reason, as is stated, that rs the Ten
nessee delegation might make the House
democratic he wanted the Whole of it eS-
cluded But the Tennessee people are not
bothered as much about this matter rs the
Hubbcll Committee seem to be.
An Indiana republican here to-day in
formed Il democrat that he believed his
State would go democratic by at leas twenty |
thousand Emajorit&
! Frelegrans were sent off from here last
night to Several points i'll the North and
West to the effect that the reason the bri
berry investigation in the star route case was
taken out of the hands of District Attorney
Corkhill and turned over to those Of General
Wells, was that Col. Corkhil had possession
of information that sustained the charges Of
bribery against Brewster Cameron, and that
he was going to have him arrested and in
dicted. 1t is ascertaincd to-day that
whether Col. Corkhill really contemplated
any such course or not, there is no evidence
that would have warranted it, and that the
Ireport -is only another OF the numerous
efforts the star roucrs have made TO effect
public opinion in their favor.

thing left undone By the officer in command

( Attorney General Brewster has dupi-
Gated the instructions to supervisor Of cleo
c tions in the South sent out by Taft, of un-
savory memory, in 1876. Such instructions
r were omitted during the Hayes adminstrl-
ton, but the desperate straits to which the
). Arthur wing ofthc republican party is now
N reduced have compelled it to resort to them
again.
