Economical Thos. A. Hendricks.

Hon. Thos A. Hendricks, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, was chairman of the Commit
tee on Mileage onring the 32d Congress. Hon.
10. Lane was the delegate from the Territory of
Oregon. Mr.. Lane received as mileage ftoo thous-
Gad iiue hundred dollars, when his actual travelling
expenses from his home to Washington, did not
exceed three hundred dollars. But among the first
acts of economical Mr. Thos A. Hendricks he, as
chairman Of the committee above named, submit
ted to the House bill repeating the one fixing Mr..
Lanes mileage at the enormous sum above stated
in order that Mr.. Lane might receive not much
less than fue thousand dollars, TO pay what frs hun
dred dollars would have more than paid.
1t would be we'll for the voters of Indiana to con-
sider this fact in connection With the other facts of
the corrupt and wasteful expenditure of the public
moneys by the present, as vel! as the former Dem
ocratic administrations that have disgraccd Indiana.

largest Democratic vote ever pollcd was for Pratt

about 10000. Instead of that, 1854 were polled
on Monday, another Indication that nearly four
thousand fraudulent votes were cast for that ticket
The localities in which the Locofoco vote was
increased gives another indication of the means
employed. In all the cities the Locofoco vote in
creased beyond all honest possibility. In New
Haven the increase is l,l22-very nearly SO per
cent in year, and this in the face of the regular
and natural Republican increase of 349! If any
thinks that this increase of so per cent is hon
est, let him look at Bridgeport where the Locofoco
increase is about 700-33 per cent in the face of a
Regular Republican gain Of 300, or at Norwich,
where the Locofoco gain is 300-nearly so per
cent-in the face of large Republican gain; or at
Middletown, gained nearly 300, and Portland,
where they gained so per cent.

yet, in spite Of these most shameful and outrageous
villainies. the Republicans have swept old Con-

The Madison County, KY, Difficulties.

We have advces from the ''scat of War" in
Madison County up to Friday evening, April 8,
from which we gather that the Committee OF Safe
ty express themselves satisfied with the expulsion of
the Radcals-that they will not undertake. TO clear
out the Republicans-and that the difficulty may
be considered as at an end. We are also assured
that this will, in all probability be the last of mobs
in Kentucky. Some of the best men in Kentucky
have protested against the late awlcss proceedings,
and there is want of sympathy in qnlrters from
which encouraging words were conf lent calcu-
lated upon.-Cincianafi Gazette.
1t was, perhaps, wise in the Kentucky slave Oil
garchy to "not undertake to clear out the Repub-
Iicans." They would have found it more for,ni-
dablc undertaking than they had any idea of.

The agent of Virginia, named Camp, who was
sent to Iowa to arrest Coppic and whose adyen;
lures in escaping from the Muscatine landlord, have
gone the rounds of the press, has finally brought
up in the Rock Island Jail. The ambassador was
."Jpgged'' at the instance of Mr.. Smith, of the
Island City Hotel. who wrote some days since to
the Secretary of State of Virginia, in reference to
his bill against Camp. The reply he received was
that Camp was no longer an agent of the State,
and even if ne was, that fact did not render Vir-
ginia liable for his debts. He was accordingly
'capiased-" fearful view to take of the case is
that the F. +. VS. may consider this arrest as

The Attorney-General has given no opinion in
regard to the Mexican steamers and prisoners cap
tured near Vera Cruz, and is perplexed by the facts
to justify our officers. The charge of piracy can
not be maintained, as at first assumed at the
Navy Department, and without it the steamers
are not legal prizes, nor the prisoners properly
held. The whole affair was an exercise of high
handed authority, which the Administration was
compelled to approve in view of the Presidents in
structions to Mr. MeLane, and the avowed purpose
to aid Juarez irrespective Of public law.
