New BEDFORD, Mass, September 23.-
The members OF the expedition headed by
Lieut. Fred. Schwatka, which sailed from
New York June /, 1878, for Bafin's Bay
and King williams Land, for the purpose
of seeking further light as to the fate OF
Sir John Franklin, have arrived. Though
the special object of the search was for the
recovery OF the records Of the Franklin
expedition, which, according to Esqui-
maux testimony, were known to exist at
specified points, has not been attained, the
explorers have nevertheless obtained many
relics of Franklin's party, including the
remains of Lieut.. Irving. They have
moreover carried out to the letter the in
structions of the promoter of the expedi-
ton to make it o geographical success.
The longest sledge ride on record, both in
regard to time and speed has been achieved
in the face of phenomenally cold weather
and deprivation Of customary food. I'M
! portant rivers and coasts have been dis
covered, and serious errors on former
| charts corrected. The adventures of the
Schwatka expedition will add many pages
Of interest to the romance OF Arctic ex-
ploration, and furnish all that the world is
ever likely to know Of the fate of Sir John
Franklin. The conduct of Capt. Barry, of
the Ethan, in reference to supplies of food
intended to be deposited for the expedition
is u~naccountable, and needs explanation,
as the absence OF the food supplies on their
return came near proving fatal TO Lieut..
Schwatka's party. The expedition has

the Esquimaux in prosecuting journeys in
the Polar regions, and that they are not
necessarily restricted to any particular
season of the year for that purpose, but
can travel at any time and in the same way
in which the natives travel.
Greenbackers and Complexities.
CHICAGO, September 23.-The Times
says that both the old parties in Indiana
are seriously troubled over the Greenback
vote, as it is supposed it will not be less
than 40, 900; but whether Porter or Lam
ders will suffer most by it, can only be
told when the columns are footed up on
the night OF the 18th of October. The
Democrats have just discovered that there
are 10000 voting Complexities in that
State, and they are afraid that Garfield's
connection with that sect will prove bene-
fetal to him in a political sense. A rumor
is in circulation that the Democratic man
ayers lave another scandal affecting Judge
Porter, which they will make public in a
few days. II it is no more damaging than
the one unearthed by them a few weeks
ago, it will not hurt him any.

lutte Want Of Food.
