Tbe numerous candidates havo drawn near from all portions of tho State, and lave taken up their quarters ina body at the Max- well House, where 10 une will be able to effect a coup d'etat without the knowledge of tho other. Some ten or a dozen Lave announced themscives, or been spoken of in connection with the Sceua- torebip, as being willing and able to fill the posi- tion moat eminently. Among them are ex-Presi- dent Johnson; Gov. John C, frown, the retiting Governor, W. Hi. Stephens, W. A. Quarles, W. B. Bate, Jobn Bavage, Gustavus A. Houry, Edwin 1. Ewing, and othera are around for people in genoral, and the members of the General Assembly sn particular, to judge of their fitnesa for se high a position. Each can- didate, bis friends, and tho journal edited at bis native village, thinks that lia claim to the pori- tion is based upon a firmer foundation than that of any other candidate, ORGANIZATION. ‘Lhe members of both brauches of the General Aagembly met on tho 4th, aud at one proceeded to an organization. With the Mouse tlis waa o simple business, and with tho election of Mr. Bond as Speaker they were ready for work, ‘But in the Benate tho subject was one of moro im- portance, for this reason: ‘Tho Seuatorial con- test was coming on, and promined to be more than usually exciting. Several cf tle can- didates show docided streagtts, and the prubaint- ities aro thot their friends will fight for them ty tho bitter oud. In the event of the bullotiug: being lengthened ont to au unusual leugtn, it is thought that the Hou, James L, Porter, dr.. the incoming Governor, might be run in aq a compromixe candidate aud bo elected. Taere being no Lieutenant-Governor in ‘Scnucssee, the Speaker of tho Sonate would then become Governor. In the endeavor to elect a Speaker, delay was cavtaed, and tho Sonate failed 1o make an organ gation until Tueeday, tho Sth inst. which, te the disappointinent of mnany, postponed the all-im- portant question of electing a United states Sou- ator until Jan. 19, The friends of ANDREW JOUXKON wore particularly chagrinod at the result, as it was thought that the longer the matter was post- poned the moro it lessened his chaucea, Por Jobuson is slwaya considered a strong map, and although you will find maav a man who thor- vughly hates bim, and abnies hin ssa demn~ Rogue, @ trailor, aud anything that is odious, et the same time there are thousands who believe Andrew Johnson the greatest statesman on the continent, and that of bim aluvo rests the calva- tion of tho countrs. Whenever the “ Great Commonor”" begins to swing aronnd tho cir- cle,” a8 he invariably does when Lo contemplates being a candidate, or thero ia any political move~ mont ou foot, he throws the entire State ito A flutter, and bis merits aud demerits aro fully dis- cussed sgain and again. When ho duc aunounce himself aga candi- date, which he dues without a particle of reserve, then all tho political leaders, and al! tho other candidates for tho same position, set their wits to work au to tho best mannor to insure his de- feat. On this occasion the samo elemont has been at work, and it was thought that thu postponoment of thiselection would give time for combiuations to bo made againet him, but tno Louisiana matter has brought forward the conduct of Jobnsci while President in relation to similar troublos, and bas made him stand out in groster light than evor before. Even lis cnemics here couceds to dim praise for the manner aud judgment he thon displayed. FOUR YEARS AGO Mr, Johnson wax before tho Legislature ass caudidate for the same position to whieh be now aspires, He bad mado o Rood run, oud, after oudiess balloting, the contest was decided in fa- vor of Henry Cooper, tho presout Sonator from Tenucssce, the deciding vote Loing cast by £d- mund Cooper, brother of the candidate, now Senator. Coopor had, during Mr. Jobn- sou'a Presidency, beon his priate sec- rotary, sod Mr, Johnson looked upon tho action of the Coopers as showing great ingratitude to himself, and he never ceased to donounce them whenever hehad an opportunity, either privately or publicly, Of course, such action on the part of Mr. Johnson made Edmund Cooper bia bitter personal enemy, and he now threatoua to make it as liyety for Mr. Jobnson as the Inttor hog endeavored to do for him. Coopor now brings forward bis brother-in-law, W. HH. Stephens, to throw in the balances aud out- weigh Mr. Johnson, Stophens ia considorod a talented man, and is supposed to have strongth, but it ja not likely that the people would desire to £06 two members of the Cooper family occupy the highest gifts of the State, On this accouut ho will probably not be Senator. GY. JONY C, DROWN, tho late incumbent of tho Guberostorial chatr, has, ay is done in most caser, sought to exchange one bouor for another still higher, aud vow stands a candidate for the Senatorship. Me has novor announced himself directly as a candidate, but bas just imperceptibly glidod into the posi- tion, uatil sae ae ready to make uso of any an moans at to further his cause, Hie is thought to be one of tho strongest candidates in the field, aud, should the Scuntorship resolve itesolf into Johuson or not, will etaud a good chance fur boing the coming man, He gains some pros- tige from bis recevt positiou of Govoruor, Lut not a8 inuch a8 he might have done. for his Ad- ministration has vot been over popular. During his first torm as Governor, it was understood be- twoen him and Gen, W, A, Quarles, also a cau- didate uow for Senatorial houors, that, alter be- ing Goveruor for one term, Brown would not peck the oftice agsin, but would make way for Quarlos, aud throw what intluence he had in his favor. However, when the time for nominn~ tion was again in order, Brown paw tuat it only noeded &® small pressings of Lis claims to re-elect him to his former position, and == accordingly = took —s ativantage = of, his opportunity, ‘This piece of bad faith ow his part, aa ia allaged. coat him the friendship of Quarles, aud now the latter, when he secs his own chances failin tho Souatorial contest, will doubtless Use hie influence syainst bie former rival.
