Mr.. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS lives in lndi-
ana. lie was the candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent on the same ticket with Mr. TILDEN,
and we recently had occasion to comment
upon proclamation publicly made by him
of hi- patient and even cheerful submission
to the Fraud by which the President and
Vice President who were really elected were
deprived OF their Offices, while men who
were not elected were put into them.
Upon this subject Mr. HENDRICKS has
lately had n conversation witha correspond
cnt OF the Netc York Times, and from this
interview we make the following extract:

At the same time with the above we have

Of that State. In this address the commit
