THE CONTEST IN INDIANA.

Our dispatches to-day indicate that
Thomas A. Hendricks has been elected
Governor of Indiana by small majority,
but that the remainder of the State ticket,
as well as the legislature, has been carried
by the Republicans. The success of Mr..
Hendricks is, at best, only partial realiza-
ton of his ambition, as the United States
Senate was his objective point. The Ge-
feat of Senator Morton was the result at
which he aimed.
Six years ago Hendricks was Morton S
competitor before the Legislature of India
ma for the senatorship; and notwithstand-
ing he is probably elected to the chief ma
gistracy of the State, he is doomed again
to see his hated political rival carry off the
coveted prize. The defeat of VOORHEES,
seems to be conceded. Niblack is reported
elected by 100 majority against nearly 5000
two years ago.

LOCAL MATTERS.

SUPPOSED MURDERERS OF DAvEN-
PORT ARREsTED.--A gentleman from
Charlotte informs us that five men, canvas
hands with John Robinson's circus, were
arrested in Danville, on Sunday, by Sheriff
Gaulding, and subsequently lodged in the
Charlotte Jail, charged with the murder of
William j. Davenport at brakes Branch.
These men are said to have joined the cir
Gus at Baltimore, and are described as a
desperate looking set of fellows. They
were seen with Davenport few hours be-
fore the shots were heard.
Davenport was intoxicated, and had
about ten dollars in his possession. He had
exhibited his money in a pompous way in
the crowd, and declared that he had just
had settlement with the administrator Of
his fathers estate, and had plenty Of
money. The pistol wounds must have
been received while IN close proximity to
his murderers, as his flesh was burnt with
powder, and the stab in the neck seemed
to be enlarged by the twisting of the blade
by the assassin in order to cut the juguar
vein. One of the men arrested proposed
to Sheriff Gauding that he would tell all
about the murder on condition of his own
release. From this it would seem probable
that the right parties have been appre-
hended; and it may be that they are the
persons who shot the colored man at Amelia
Courthouse on the Sd inst.
