WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The following
dispatch was received to-day by Secretary
Boutwell, from Collector Robbie, of Sayan-
nah, dated to-day:

ordered by my deputies without my
knowledge. have ordered the flag at
full mast. Much public feeling is mani
Tested at my action. Shall the flag be

4 dispatch from Senator Morton to
Secretary Boutwell, says the Democratic
State ticket in Indiana is elected by about
two thousand majority. Legislature still
in doubt.

PardOns Signed for O'NeiII, Dom
OelIy, ct ais.
The President yesterday sign ed the
pardons of nine of the imprisoned Fe.
niau leaders, Gems. O'Neil and Donnelly
heading them. The fines imposed in
some Of the cases were also RENTED.
But three more remain in prison, and
they will be pardoned as soon as the pa
pers in their respective cases are received
from the courts that convicted them. A
Committee representing the Fenian or
ganizatiOn have been here for two weeks
assiduously engaged in securing these
pard0ns.
The English Mission still Begging.
Senator Morton telegraphs that he will,
contrary 10 his antiCipatiOns, be able to
visit Washington this week 1t seems TO
be pretty well understood that his formal
acceptance of the English mission is still
a matter Of doubt, SO much so, in fact
that the name of Senator Patterson, of |
New Hampshire, has been mentioned for
the position in the event of Morton's
peremptory dcclination
Grant aud the Elections.
The President has been in receipt of
kilograms oday announcing the results
of the elections. He expressed some
fears for Indiana, bat said that on the
whole they had turned out better than he
had expected. He expressed regret at
SchenCks defeat.
The President received a dispatch from
Senator Cameron, at Harrisburg, saying:
''This State is right side up The Ale
gheny districts we have carried by a
sweeping majority over the cOpperheads
and boiters combined. LUzerne defeats
Woodward, and gives US Republican
Congressman. Killing CRep.) succeeds
Cake. We hold our own everywhere
else. O'Neil is said to he be beaten; but
if he is, he is supplanted by a good Re
publican and a soldier The Legislature
is decidedly Republican"
Poor SChenCk.
Schenck's Ohio friends here say that he
will be given Secretary COx's place in the
Cabinet, while others say that he will get
his seat by contesting.
