The RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ac-
compared by several members of his family,
arrived Washington Saturday morning.
ThePREsIDENT was detained several days al
Old Point Comfort in consequence OF the dan
gerous illness of his grandchld, and the indis-
position of one of his daughters, whom he de-
sired to conduct in person to the White Sulphur
Springs.
During the detention of the PRESIDENT from
the city, by the serious illness in his family, an
immense amount of letters, &c, have accumu-
lated on his hands, TO which he will doubtless
devote his constant attention for several days.
We would respectfully suggest to the citizens
from distance, now in the city, who are de-
sirous of having their business with the PREsI
Den , promptly despatched, to submit to him in
writing whatever they may desire of him, ac-
companied with such memorials, testimonials,
and other documents as they intended to pre-
sent in person. BY such means their matters
will surely be attended to promptly; whereas it
may be some days before audiences can be OBJ
tanned by those having business to transact of
personal or private nature.

GOV. POLK'S DEFEAT.

This able, jealous and indefatigable Polk is again
doomed to defeat; in the Legislature we may be
successful, but the signs are against us. 1t was,
fear extremely unfortunate for Mr.. Polk, that his
name had been placed upon the Van Buren, ticket as
Vice President. Mr.. Van Buren, having been de-
feated in Tennessee in 1910, and Mr.. Polk IN to4l,

INDIANA.

The election in this State was for Governor, Lieu
tenant Governor members Of Congress, and mem
bers of the Legislature. The returns, so far as re-
ceived, justify the belief that the Democrats have
elected their candidates for Governor Lieutenant
Governor, and majority of the members Of the Le-
gslature. The following members of Congress are
said to be elected:
lst disrict-Robert Dale Owen, (Dem.)
Cd district-Thomas J. Henley, (Dem.)
Sd disrict-Thomas Smith, (Dem)
4th district-Caleb B. Smith, (Whg)
5th district--Wm. J. Brown, (Dem)

Two districts remain to be heard from. In the last
Congress, the delegation was SIX Wings and one
Democrat.

1t will be remembered that Mr.. TYLER was FIRST
adopted as the Wing candidate for the Vice Presl-
dency the ticket with Judge WHITE, when their
candidate for the Presidency. Both these gentlemen
were sgnaized as most uDhinchingly opposed TO
every principle on which National Bank could rest
Both had opposed such an institution IN every form
assumed, and through long lives OF public service
General HARRISON aud MIR. TYLER were preferred
by the Wings against their Bank candidates for the
Presidency from the same motives which nominated
Messrs WH,TE and TYLER in the election OF 1886
II is clear from present manifestations that they
chosen to enable the Federal party TO throw off the
eight Of the Bank III the canvass while they pro-
fitted by its means and that it was expected, the
election having been gained, their candidates would
be true TO the Bank party, and false to the people

Complete but unofficial returns from the whole
State with the exception of two or three counties

SPANISH LEGATION.

On the 10th instant, at o'clock in the afternoon
the Sehor Luis Potestad, Charge dAfaires of SPAIN
and the Sefior Juan Pic Mentufars attached to the
legation, made their entry into this capital. Many
distinguished persons and among them the relatives
and friends of Mr. Menlufar, went out to receive
them on their arrival from the South We call pub
lie attention at this time to coincidence, which is
rare and worthy of recollection, which consists in
this capital having given the first exclamation for n
dependence the 10th of August, 1909, has witness
ed the en on the 10th of August lS42, the day Of
the anniversary of the independence of the first
messenger of peace and amity which the Spanish
Monarchy has desired to send us to confirm, so to
say, the explicit and solemn recognition which it
has made, by public treaties, of the independence
and sovereignty of Ecuador.
MIR Poesad gave notice of his arrival on the llth,
and on the 10Th delivered his credentials to the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, and the next day was
presented to his Excellency, the President, who re-
ceived him with the frankness and kind benevolence
due to Minister of ancient mother country and
to person as frank and estimable as he whom the
Spanish Cabinet, with much prudence, have Sc
lectcd.
Tie good dispositions Of our Government, and the
sympathies which form his personal character, Mr..
Poesad has already begun to merit, presage happy
advancement to the Spanish legation, and promise
that the relations Of two nations, who had common
origin will be each day more and more extended for
their benefit and happiness
.Mr Mcntufar is the son of Don Joaquin Mentu-
far, native of this city, and grandson of the late
Marques de Salvalegre one of the first promoters OF
independence. Mr. Juan Pho Montufar is young
man of % years of age, of fine appearance, good
