RICHMOND, October 16. – The members of the Legislature are arriving and the Senatorial question is again being agitated. The name of General Mulford, former United States Agent of Exchange, is now prominent in connection with Judge Pendleton, of Manchester, as the other Senator. Lieutenant-Governor Lewis, Franklin Stearns and General Williams are still considered the strongest men.
