A correspondent had talk with a State

these two gentlemen, embracing as they do
large interests, nothing lees than the follow.
iug conclusions can be arrived at: FIst,
thet Mr.. Pendleton, after the events Of the
past two weeks, has no show whatever tor
the Senatorship.
The victory won by Mclean and his fol.
lowers has been such as TO place MIR. Fen
dleton in the background. In this connec'
tion il may be said, however, that Mr.,
Paynes nomination Is not desirable. Mr..
