Congress has appropriated SIC. goo for

porated clause, allowing : portion Of this
amount to be diverted to he payment Of ar
rearages. We understand that 10 part of
this sic, ! 600 has, ss yet, been received from
The Department, though It Is constantly ex-
Epected. Whenever L does come to hand.
we presume the Secretary viii add to it
the small surplus that may remain Of last
years appropriations, and distribute al ac-
cording to the instructions he may receive.
| We make this statement for the informa-
ton Of the public creditors, who would,
perhaps, do well to forward their claims to
the Secretary.
The above, which we copy from the last
Hawkeye, We publish for the information
Of such Of our readers as are interested in
the payment Of the arrearsges due BY the
Territory. We do not think blame can
justly attach to the Secretary for any delay
which has occurred in the adjustment Of
these arrearages, or which may hereafter
occur; for it is within our knowledge that
early after the receipt Of the intelligence
that an appropriation had been made, that
officer opened correspondence w:.h the
Treasury Department, the object Of which
was to induce that Department to forward
the amount necessary for the liquidation Of
the debts at the earliest possible day.. The
money cannot, we think, be withheld much
longer; and when it is received the credit
ors ayrely upontheir claims being prompt
~ and satisfactorily adjusted. Ofthis due
notice will be given.

TfOur friend. EpwARn JcHxsros

DOur friend, EDWARD JOHNSTON,
Esq, Of Lee county, is now on visit to
Pennsylvania; and We perceive, from our
exchanges, that at large meeting Of the
democracy Of his native county--West-
moreland-reccntly held, he was called up
on to address the assemblage. He ap-
peared, received most welcome and cor
dial greeting, and responded to the call in
his usual happy and felicitous manner
Mr.. Johnston had been absent from the
region Of country in which his youth was
spent for several years; and to Be thus
warmly received BY those who had known
him from childhood up, when again re-vis-
iting it, must have been peculiarly CRAFTY

The RumOred ResuscitatiOn Of MT
MuhleMberg.

Strange as this announcement may have
sounded TO our readers yesterday morning,
we were well satisfied before we commit
ted it to print that it came to us direct from
the town Of Reading-wlaist we were also
MORALLY certain that no one in that place,
overwhelmed as her citizens were in grief
at the great public loss which they had sus-
tanned, could have stopped 10 perpetrate a
hoax at such time, on an occurrence that
had filled every heart with sorrow. The
following, from the Philadelphia Ledger Of
yesterday, proves that our conclusions were
correct, as the same report reached that
city, and in a form which casts off all doubt
as to its being unfounded:
Mr.. .Nuhlenbrg-.4 Nronge Reror.-A
report was received here yesterday, BY a
gentleman from Reading, that the funeral
Of the Hon. Henry A. Muhlenterg had
been postponed, in consequence OF the dis
covery of signs Of life in the body, on We'd
nesday. 1t was said that this report was
current at Reading which the cars lcf, ard
had produced an >traordinary excitement
there. We made every incui. y 10 ascer-
tain the truth Of SO strange rumor, but
could learn nothing in relation 70 il further
than the statement made above. We cam
not believe il, as It could scarcely be true
without lri' giig its own firm; ton in n
official shape.
"Since writing the above, a friend in this
city has shswn Us letter from Reading,
dated August IA, from which we make the
following extract:
|. s'Our town is in. the greatest confusion
at Mr.. Nnhlcnberg's death. He was to
have been buried to-day--it was postponed.
The doctors cupped him to day, and the
cups were filled with blood, and what is
still more astonishing, it was warm. They
had ice about him until yesterday noon.--
There appears not to have been any change
in him; he looks just the same as he did
when living. People are here fffsh all
parts ofthe State. Crowds about his house
all day; even now, nine o'clock at night,
crowds are awaiting about his house. The
report is that he is dead. II is not known
when he will be buried, not Of course I'M
til some change takes place.
By the cars which arrived last night on
the Susquehanna Railroad, we learn from
Reading that the hopes which were enter
tanned Of resuscitation Of Mr.. Mullen
berg were not realized. lis funeral was
postponed until Thursday, and every med
ical treatment applied without success,
when he was followed to the grave BY an
immense concourse Of mourning relatives,
friends and fellow-ci;izens. ~

The Frankfort Yeoman publishes full
returns Of the recent election IN this State
though few counties are unofliciAl. Ows.
ley received IS, 346, and Butler 50, 752-
Owsley's majority, 1854. The wigs
pretend that Buffers personal popularity
Obtained for him many wing votes, and re-
fer to the vote for Lieut.. Governor. which
shows their candidate to be elected BY about
$4,000 majority, as the proper test. This
is unfortunate for them; for it now appears
that notwithstanding his Il. 900 majority,
Dixon, their candidate for 1t. Governor,
received only 58,623 votes, being 723 less
than Owsley. The discrepancy between
the majorities for Governor and 1t. Gov
ernor is thus shown to have been OCCASION
ell by the falling off Of the democrats
from their candidate for the second Office,
and not, as asserted, from wing votes hav-
ing been given for Col. Butler. The Yeo.
man states that the democrats will have
the same number Of members in the Leg
islature that they had in the last. Ken
lucky should be set down at the head of
the list Of doubtful States.

Evidences Or the Revolution.

BThe aggregate vote. at the recent
election in Kentucky exceeds that Of the
great contest Of 1870 by 1900! The
democratic gain exceeds Twenty ONE
thousand, which, il properly distributed,
would be more than sufficient to change
the majorities given to Harrison in Maine,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Maryland,
Delaware, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Michigan, BY which he received 73 cleo
toral votes. And why, let us ask, will
not the causes that have operated to pro-
duce this great revolution in Kentucky
exert similar influence elsewhere?
Why, especially, will they not operate in
Tennessee and Georgia States in which
the majority to be overcome is not half as
great9 They will operate, and have al
ready operated; and we entertain not a
doubt but that Mr.. Polk will receive the
votes Of those two States. Our opponents
may feign confidence, and for while
fooiishly shut their eyes to the evidence
furnished against their prospects in the
late election results; but if candid, they
would acknowledge the entertainment Of
some misgivings as to success. The sAu-
gust elections have shown the popular tide
TO be running in favor Of Polk and Dali

cannot be resistel. .saaa .ss "a
