Altar all their boasted economy, the DEM
ocrats have accomplished but little in the
way of retrenchment, and by the end cf the
year they may not succeed 50 we'll as the
Republicans did last year. The total reduc-
ton of appropriations this year as compared
with the appropriations last year is about
SO,000,00O, but deducting the continuation
of last years salaries, &C., for forty-four
days, s4.0OO,OOO the Centennial appropri-
alton, 81, 5OOOOO the Washington monu-
ment; 100000, &C., the net reduction will
be about s24 ,OOO,O 900 to $25,OOO,OOO. The
reduction last year, as shown at the end of
tho fiscal year by the difference between
two hundred and fifty-eight and two huu-
drsd and seventJ-four millions, was
SIG, 1000. The much-boaated economy
OF tho Democratic House has only exceed
ed this about eight millions, and the proba-
bilitiea arc that it will be shown before the
end of the year to be not as great as the
Republican Congress made.

Landers' Fight.

In the seventh, or Indianapolis district,
the candidates are Franklin Landers, Demo-
crat and present incumbent and John
Hanna, Republican. Mr. Landers resides in
this city, and is extensively engaged in the
packing of hogs He is man of much ma
tural ability. of indOmitable energy and
pluck. and of unquestioned integrity. He
was elected two years ago by majority of
over six hundred. and in that race he re-
ceived the votes of the Greenbackers as well
as the Democrats His course in Congress
has been such as To attract the notice of the
whole country on account of the peTsistency
and ability with which he has advocated the
greenback doctrines. Ii was supposed
that he was greenback enough to satisfy
the most ultra intiationist. but it seems
he was not. Mr. James Buchanan of this
city. known in the West as THE Plan
having an itching for congressional hOnors,
procured his own nomination by. the indie
pendentS. and is making an active canvass of
the district. As most of the votes he will
receive would otherwise be cast for Landers
il is feared that the latter will be defeated
This is not by any means certain however
for on a careful estimate of the votes of the
district il is found that Ianders will come
into this county (Marion) neck-and-neck
with Mr.. Hanna. So it will be perceived
that the result depends upon this county
Two years ago Mr.. L.anderS carried il by over
fOO majority, ana VIII carry IL again II we
have an honest and fair election. If
we can prevent negro importations
and repeating on election-day we shall carry
Marion county, elect Mr.. LanderS
and secure majority of the Legislature. l
am not sangune that this can be done, for
the Republicans have control of the election
boards; they also have the city police every
member of which will do fun days work
on the 10th day of next month in getting
Radical tickets into the ballot-boxes. Every
precaution that is possible will be taken by
the Democracy to prevent any frauds upon
the people at the ensuing election but
whether their efforts will be successful will
be better able to inform you when the cleo
ton is over. The only other doubtful dis
trict is the Eighth Terre Haute district.
As spoke of this district in 4 former letter
[ will say nothing more than TO observe that
recent Information confirms me in the opin-
ion | then expressed, that Mclean, the
Democratic candidate will be elected

Editorial Comment.

We give to-day another letter from our
Indiana correspondent on the Democratic
side. 1t is written with as little partisan
bias. apparently as is possible for any one TO
exercise in the present contest of unexam-
pied bitterness. Both sides seem TO agree
that the grcenback element is the AFRICAN
in the wood-pile, and both fear that his
sable majesty may tumble out on the wrong
side and determine the issue. 1t was
admitted week ago that the Republicans
were gaining in the race, but it is
claimed now that the Democracy i
abreast with the Morton leaders, and will be
in the best condition for the home-stretch
The state j. fairly dcbatable, although natur-
ally Democratic, and if it shall be lost to
Tfldcn in October, it must be because they
they didn't understand how to meet Morton
in death struggle. If he has made them
swallow rats, they shouldn't parley to be
told that they must swallow cats, and il the
cats can be had, they may as well strike
their colors. The loss of Indiana to either
