BY the table below it will be seen by
the above list of counties there are three
of larger and four of less population
than Monroe, and yet Monroe County is
next to the lowest in the rate OF taxa
ton in proportion to the population
The population is taken from the census
of 1860, and it is fair to presume that the
increase from that time to this is in the
same ratio in the several counties. The
average per head is also given in the ia
BILE. The fractions are given as near as
they can be without running into tenths
and hundredths:

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15.-Official re-
turns received to-day show small Repub-
lican gains ON the reported majorities-
Both parties are still claiming the ticket.
The indications are that the Republican
majority will be 1900
ST. Louis, Oct. .15.-The Times has a
dispatch from j. J. Bingham, Secretary
of the Indiana State Central Committee.
1t is as follows:
The election is undoubtedly close, but
we have but little doubt that we have
elected Hendricks. The Radicals claim
the State, but are unable to name any
majority. have every reason to believe
that the State is safe. Large Democratic
gains in many counties are reported
Niblack in the lst, Kerr in the I'd, Hol-
man in the Sd, and VOORHEES, in the 9th,
are positively elected. This is gain of
one over our very latest previous advi-
ces, and the figures insure the State by
about 1,50O majority, and we do not see
how this reckoning can be overturned.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 16.-Further Off
cial returns to-day confirm the success of
the Republican ticket by a majority of
about one thousand.
