The Remains Of Sir John Frank~
lin and Party FOund!
New YoRK. Oct. {

New York, Oct. 21.
A dispatch to Sir Geo. Sampson, Gov
ernor Of the Hudson Bay territory, relates
the discovery of the remains Of Sir John
Franklin and his companions, who starved
to death in the spring of 1859, near Fox
river
The Montreal Herald says: I'VE yes
terday dispatched a special messenger to
the Hudson Bay Company's house.
Through the kindness Of the Governor, Sir
George Sampson, we are enabled to lay be-
fore our readers the following outlines of
the dispatch received by him yesterday
from DR.. Rae, who has been absent on the
coast since the 1st of June, 1854, and re-
turned to York Factory on the 28th Of
August last, from whence he forwarded
letters by express to Sir George Samson
via Red River settlement.
CATER briefly noticing the result of his
own expedition, he proceeds to state that
! from the Esquimaux he obtained certain
information of the lost expedition, who
starved to death after the loss of their ships
which were crushed by the ice while max
ing their way south to great Fish River,
near the outlet on which the party died
leaving the accounts of their sutferings in
their mutilated corses.
This information, although not derived
from the Esquimaux who communicated
with the whites and who found the re-
mains, but from another band, who obtain
ed the details viua voce, it may be relied
la NJ 1o,, ~ . 1af sc fl,o Truth IF tho
report, as the natives had in their posses
sion various articles of European manu-
facture which has been in the possession of
the whites. Among these, several silver
spoons, forks, &C., on which were engrav-
cd Sir John Franklin, K @. B., while others
have crests and iuitials identifying the
owners as belonging to the i'll fated expe-
dition. drawings of some of these have
been sent down. A fearful tragedy must
have occurred in The spring of 1880"
IND1ANA.-The result in the Hoosier
State is very satisfactory, though not quite
so decisive as in Ohio. The American
State ticket is elected by from seven to If;
teen thousand majority. The House oi
Representatives is largely American and
we think majority of the Senate is the
same, but this is not yet certain. There is
no doubt of an American majority on joint
ballot. This will secure United States
Senator in place Of Mr.. Petit.
For Congress the new delegation stands
nine Americans and two anti-Americans
PENNsYLvANrA-The legislature. The
Pittsburgh Gazette of Saturday, gives the
returns from the most of the State for the
Legislature. In the Senate there win be
an American majority. In the House il
will be decided. The following is the sum
ming up:
adding Allegheny and Beaver, these
returns indicate the election of 6ftyrfve
Americans and thirty-two anti-Americans
leaving thirteen to be heard from, some o.
which will be Americans.
The WAY IT STANDs.--0fthe 81 mem
bers of Congress elected in Pennsylvania
Ohio and INDIANA, Jtty-t,Oo are Americans
and FIVE are anti ti-Americans. At this ratio
it can soon be said that America rules A
merica. God speed the time.
EEThe Know Nothings of Charleston
claim to have elected seven candidates Il
the legislature.
