IiuIs difference Of Opinion betWeen
the Governors Of the Tive states.

CHICAGO, October l3.-Some weeks
since one George ". Smith was kidnapped
fTom Masssc county, Illinois, where II Is al
legged an Indictment for murder is pending
,eatnst him. The atteut on o Governor Bev
eTIdge Was called to the matter, and he de-
mauded Of Governor Brown Of Tennessee, the
return smith and the arrest and delivery
TO the state authorities OF the kidnappers, b.
X. Ward and NJ. l.. Williams and Governor
Brown has at last replied 70 the demand. He
reviews the facts In the case, and admits that
the action OF the Tennessee authorities was
without authority of law; but hopes that in
asm uch as Smith was noiorfOusly guilty OF
murder, and that as there was no Intentional
disrespect shown 10 the authorities OF Illinois,
governor BeSerldge may Ind IL cOmpsuble
with his sense OF duty 10 let the matter rest
as il now stands. This Governor BeveIidge 10
LOi willing 20 do, but on the contrary renews
his demand for ths return Of Smith to illinois,
and for the arrest and delivery of the kid
uappers 70 the State authorities. lie says
that the guilt OF Innocence OF the accused Is
not in question; that the laws OF Illinois pro-
vide Tor the detentsOn, for 8 reasonable time,
OF any person against whom there is evidence
OF Liability for crime in another Sta G, and
that thea iductoTG had no authority or legal
prstenSe for their act. 70 Is said that tbs afro
cious murder with which the prisoner, Smith,
Is charged Is the killing OF a man who at
tempted 70 prevent his desertiOn from the
loafeaerate army.

POLLS, October l3.-Returns
come in slowly, with nothing to indicate den.
mite result on the State ticket, A few scatter
ing returns show about equal Repu blican and
Democratic gains. The vote for the indspend.
ent ticket was very small. Comparisons Will
be made on the vote for the State ticket in
lS72. The Republicans claim majority in
both branches Of the legislature or the
twenty-four senators holding over, seventeen
are Republican, and twenty-sIx are TO be
elected. ..-.-..
At twelve Q o'ciock the returns from the state
elections are very meager. Ofacial reports

In TIppecanoe county the election OF the
Republican ticket is conceded.

member of the lt gislature.
In Floyd county the Peoples ticket Is prob
ably elected.
In Wayne county Baxter, author of the
temperance DILL, is elected 70 the senate, and
leads his ticket. In the nth congressional
district Claypool runs behind his ticket, which
will PROBABLY elect Hellman, u Republican.
There Is no probability now OF getting suf1i-

show good meiOrities for the Republican
nominees for State officers. The greatest In
terest seems TO be in the result OF the election
