nomination in tho canons. At noon
tbe vote was taken in both Houses for
Senator, with no result,' as members
so ittered their votes so that the high
est number for one person didn't ex
ceed 15. Immediately after adjourn

Daniel, Johnston, Tuoker, Smith,
Stuiirt, Roberts, Cochrane, Christian,
Coghill aod Sheffty. The Bevtm first
nxmcd are only entitled to one nom
u it. on. Friends of Goode, Daniel and
Johustou, who are conceded to be the
strongest candidates, are b-tckward in
putting their man up for fear of oon
linu itioii, which defeating either one
will throw him out entirely; hence the
adoption of a new rnlo, similar to the
one abova mentioned, in probable.
