to vote on Tuesday tceek:
Year. administration. State Expenses
1852 Leonard j. Farwell $l23, 474
1853 Leonard J. Farwell 1920
1854 William A. Barstow 264, 592
1885 William A. Barstow $50, 600
This table shows that whilst two years of the
FARWELL administration cost the people of this
State Ss2o7 1854, two years of BARsTow rule have
cost $614, 692-being an increase of 1892, 3O8. or
considerably over ONE HUNDRED PER CENT.
The Madison Democrat and Milwaukee Neus,
approaching the force of these figures, offer the
following plea in abatement:
"Will the Sentinel add to the figures of Gov.
Farwell's administration the following amounts
and deduct them from Gov. Barstow's admins
tration
For building State Prison, $4,000
For Impeachment trial, $4,000
Total $4,000
These expenses ,osye entered into By the Farrell
administration AID paid during that Of Coz. Bar
sto,c."
The Sentinel respectfully declines this propo-
sition Let our readers scan this official defence,
for it is the only apology these twin organs of
"Barstow and the Balance offer for the extrav-
agant expenditures of the last two years.
First, as to the Impeachment Trials that
chargeable upon the "Farwell Administration q"
Every voter in the State, who can read and write,
kn0cs the contrary. Il was the act of Democrats
almost exclusively; both branches of the Legisla-
ture, the prosecuting and the trying branch, in
1853, being largely Democratic. That 800 900
rightfully belongs to Gov. Barstow and his next
friend, Caleb Gushing.
Next, as to the $13O, 900 State Prison contract,
what are the facts Let the Madison Journal tell:
at is singular fact that this contract, altho'
entered into by Mr.. Proudft several months be-
fore the expiration of Gov Farwells term, was
withheld from him; that he never saw it that Mr..
Proudft, knowing Gov. Farwell would not APP
prove it, and not daring TO present it TO him,
KEPT 1T BACK, UNTIL HIS OLD FRIEND
AND ASSOCIATE IN BUSINESS, BARS
TOW, WAS INAUGURATED, and it was
APPROVED by the latter.
"Here are two contracts which Gov. Barstow
has approved:
The State Prison contract, to Andrew
PrOudht, an intimate and former
business associate of Governor 3.
involving a debt of $4,000
The Lunatic Asylum contract, to the
same Proudft, involving debt of 1852 900
Total of the Proudft contracts! $59a80O
These facts are undenied and undeniable They
show, beyond question or cavi, that the Barstow
administration is directly responsible for the
$l30,0O0 item Gov. Barstow approved and
signed" the contract, as he did the Lunatic Asy-
lum $452, 900 one, with Mr. Proudft, his person
alfrcnd and former partner in business. We sub
nit that the defence interposed by the Democrat
and the Ners only aggrayates the wrong done to
the State and the burdens cast npon the tax pay
ers, by this profigate administration of "Barstow
and the Balance. "-MIuamkee Sentinel.

AGRICULTURAL DIVISION OF THE PATENT
OFFIcE-The YAM.-There has been introdu-
ced into France from China a species of yam
(Dioscorea batatas) which bids fair to super
sede, or at least serve as substitute for, the
common potatoe. 1t appears to be adapted
to the climates ofall parts of the United States,
growing vine above ground, and sending
perpeadicularly into the earth large tubors two
or three feet in length and half the size of a
mans arm. These tubors are dry and farina-
ceous quite as much so as the potatoe, and may
be used for the same purposes. A very small
number have been procured and distributed at
the Patent Office, chiefly among members OF
Congress of the several States and Territories.
1t is to be regretted that a larger number could
not be procured, as all supplicants for them
have necessarily been refused. 1t is the in
PRODUCTION of valuable agricultural products
such as this which shows the importance of
this branch of the Patent Office, and the wis
dom of Congress in making appropriations in
behalf of agricultural interests of the country.

Arrival of the North ern Light.
ADDITIONAL FROM CALIFORNIA /!

New YORK, April Is.
The steamer Northern Light arrived here
to-day from Aspinwall, with the California
mails, and $4,000 in gold dust.
She brings the same dates as by the steamer
Prometheus, which arrived at New Orleans
last Friday.
The revolution in Central America had not
been suppressed. Gen. Munos heads the rev.
olutionary party, who expect shortly to be re-
intorced by Col. Walkers emigrants from
California, $50 of whom sailed from San
Francisco about the middle of March, and
Walker and large number of his followers
were secretly preparing to follow in two ships
which had been vlready chartered for the
purpose.
1t is expected Munos will bring about i'm
portant changes in Central American affairs,
particularly in Nicaragua.
There was little or NO improvement in
financial affairs; the miners were doing we'll,
but the amount of gold coming forward was
small, owing to the scarcity of coin.
The Kern river excitement had exploded,
and the miners were returning, disappointed
and disguised.
Meigs, the forger, is in Chilli
The markets continued dull, though there
was some disposition manifested to specu-
late in flour and provisions, owing to the
low prices.

Gov. Maxine Ortez, when marching to
Tehnantepec, fell into an ambuscade, and his
whole force, GOO strong, was nearly annihila-

BILE to the cause of the Revolutionists. AL
varez is in the supreme command, and it is
the general opinion that Santa Anna will be
obliged To- fly from the country. 1t is also
evident that the allied powers of France and
England have, by their agents, stimulated the
thermal commotion in Mexico, in order to bring
her on the other side, and identify her with

The FEELINGS OF THE LATE CAR NIcHo-
LAS TOWARDS THE UNITED STATEs.-A New
Orleans gentleman sojourning in St Peters
burgh, in a letter to the New Orleans Bulletin,
vouches for the authenticity of some report
ed conversation of the late CAR NICHOLAS
upon foreign affairs, toward the conclusion OF
which he said
"Yet one consolation is left me in the midst
of all this ingratitude and villany, and that is
the silent sympathy of that high-minded pea
pie on the other side of the Atlantic, the only
hearts in which hear an echo of my strug-
giles against united Europe. Never have
forgotten the smallest kindness shown tome
by the least of my subjects; let my children
never forget what we owe to America, and il
ever an hour of danger darken around the
Union, let her find faithful ally in my fam
ily."
