Senator Harris in East Ten.

The Chattanooga Times, sky blue
organ, in its issue of yesterday con-
tained the following:
Senator Isham G. Harris arrived in
the city last night, and will leave this
morning for Athens, where he will
speak in joint discussion to day at II
o'clock with Hon. A. A. Taylor. A
Times reporter called on him last
night in his room for the purpose of
ascertaining his views on the coming
elections. He says that he is confident
that General Bate will be elected;
that he ia gaining votes in all parts of
the State very rapidly and will con-
tinue so until the election. He also
said that Bate would get more votes
than Hawkins, Fussell and Beasley
put together He thinks Russell and
Beasley are losing votes faster than
Hawkins, and the votes which thew
will receive will amount to nothing.
He says that the contest for Governor
has narrowed down between Hawkins
and Bate, owing to the fact that the
supporters of Russell and Beasley see
that it is useless to cast their votes for
either of the latter, as they stand no
chance Of being elected, and in order
to use their votes to a practical ad.
vantage they will vote for Hawkins or
Bate.
He is afraid that a State credit Leg.
islature will be elected. Wherever
a Russell man is nominated" he said
he will receive both the support of
the State credit Democrats and that of
the Republicans, and where a Hawkins
man is run he will get, in addition to
the Republican support, that of the
Fussellites, aud in this manner we will
in all probability have a State credit

He Saysthat the statement published

ment at Jasper on account Of sickness.
yesterday, is untrue. When he and
Colonel Taylor arrived at Decherd,
they found it impossible to gil the
appointment at Jasper and get to
Athens to-day. and they finally agreed
to speak at Athens.

TEXAS is now divided into eleven
Congressional districts. The Calves
ton News has an article showing how
the magnitude of that State can be
partially appreciated by a dissection Of
the area Of one of these districts. The
Seventh district, which extends from
Galveston to the Rio Grande, taking
in the lower coast counties, contains
an area of 81 ,080 square miles. This
territory is sparsely populated, but a
large portion Of it is nevertheless ca
paple of not only diversified but highly
remuneratiye agricultural and paste
raj production. The News declares
that this Congressional district would
mako three States the size Of Mary
land, over four States the size Of New
Jersey, nearly FIVE States the size Of
Massachusetts,, and nearly eight States
the size of Connecticut. And this is
only an eleventh Congressional part of
Texas.
