How Hendricks Was Elected.
New Orleans Correspondence Pittsburg Times.

Yes, and here, also, has been the Hon. Thos.
A. Hendricks, whom the Times Democrat here
says was twice elected ce-president of the
United States, but if what | have heard since
coming here concerning the vote, especially in
the State of Mississippi is true, he was never
once elected. Democrats have told me that they
know that their votes have been counted when
they were not at the polls on election day. And
some true and honest Republicans have told me
that through fear they have not gone to the polls
for several elections Is this FREQ ballot and
fair count? In fact can we hope for public in
tegrity and moral progress so long as the entire
Southern society is more or less controlled by the
lotteryR

why Mcdonald win Not BE in the Cabinet


Albany Special to New York Times.
1t is thought that the visit of Senator Voorhees,
is unlikely to have any effect so far as the selec-
ton OF Mcdonald is concerned. AS Indiana poll
ties are understood here, Hendricks is secretly
disposed to silence rival like Mcdonald. Though
his likes or dislikes, demands or requests or.
dinarily would have little weight with the Presi.
dent-elect, in this instance his concealed hostility
furnishes one of the best reasons why Indiana
should be honored no more than she was in
the November election. Much as Mcdonald
may be respected, he is not believed to be
the man to undertake the work of purifying
which is expected of the new administration.
An easy -goiEg nature is not invgorated by the
atmosphere ofsWashington. Indianas great OBJ
jector has really been as much, if not more i'm
quired about by Mr.. Cleveland than any other
resident of the Hoosier State. If Indiana is to
have a Cabinet officer, which is very much
doubted the odds. hereabouts at least, are con-
sidered to be in favor of Holman, as against Nc
Donald. McDonald's free trade tendencies are,
condemned by the protective wing of the party
as too radical, and as extremists of either wing
will be avoided, another argument against
Mcdonald is furnished within his own party.

GRANTS FAILING HEALTH.
A Statement that the General Is Broken
Down, and May Die at Any Time.

. PHILADELPHIA, Feb 2Z-A special to the
Times from New York, based on reliable med
ical authority, says: notwithstanding the rose
colored report of General Grants health recent
ly given in medical journal, the truth is
that General Grant is very sick, and his
death apparently not far distant. The
public have no conception Of the shattered con-
dition Of his physical system. 1t is hoped the
affection of his tongue may not prove
fatal, but there is as yet no appearance
of its not developing into malignant
and fatal disease. Although somewhat better
now than some weeks ago, the enlarged and in
famed tongue continues making it painful to
speak or swallow, and fluids are the only
nourishment he take. In addition
to this distressing malady, General Grant is
a terrible sufferer from neuralgia,
which seems to have taken possession
teeth drawn to lessen the neuralgia and his
injury in the ip,caused by his fall year ago. is
still a source Of great suffering, and forbids
physical exercise 1t is fact that should no
longer be concealed from the country
that Gen. Grant is rapidly breaking down,
and apparently without hope of reaction, and
unless there should be some unexpected relief
he will not be long among the living.
He is wonderfully patient and uncomplain-
ing, and he profoundly apppreciates the express
sions of sympathy which have been called out
works every day with bandaged head in un-
remitting pain, to finish his military autobi-
ography or history of the war, and hopes to COM
plete it this spring. The first volume is entirely
finished, but not revised and the second volume
is more than half DONE"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--Genoral John w.
Foster was at the Capitol this''afternoon looking
up the prospects for the passage of Mr.. Engish's
bill to donate the Indianapolis arsenal building
and grounds to be used as State university,
measure which contemplates the removal of the
Bloomington University. He has received
letter from Bloomington stating that the people
there are much opposed to the bill, and regard
the agitation of the question at this timo
as injurious to the institution, as it
jeopardizes the passage of bill pend
ing before the Legislature appropriating
$4,000 to improve and equip the university.
General Foster has ascertained that there is no
possiblechance OF Mr. Englishs bill being passed.
1t has been referred to the House committee on
military affairs, where, Major Steele. says, it
will rest without action. There need be no de-
lay by the Legislature now, as Congress viii not
act The sundry civil appropriation bill, which
passed the House this afternoon, contains q
clause directing the Secretary of War to sell the
arsenal property at public auction and turn the
money into the Treasury of the United States.
This is regarded as the death blow to the prOpo-
stion to remove the university, and twill surely

Paying Employees of Congress for Work that
Was Never Performed.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2I--Some two or three
years ago the salaries of all the officers and en-
ployes of the House of Representatives were cut
down to accord with Mr.. Randalls idea Of econ
omy, and the practice of allowing clerks, messen-
gers, door keepers, watchmen and laborers one
months extra salary at the close of each year
was ipaugurated Later, the salaries of all ex-
cept those on the door keepers roll were restored
to the original figures, and made to conform to
the salaries paid by the Senate. The custom of
allowing an extra months salary was still kept
up, ostensibly in the interest of the door keepers
men, but really in the interest of the men whose
salaries had been restored. The watchmen,
messengers and door-keepers have repeatedly
asked Mr.. Randails committee to restore their
salaries and cut off the extra allowance, but the
committee fails to do as requested 1t is shown
that the expense of restoring the pay of these
men to the old rate would be about $14, 900 a
year, while the amount required to pay the extra
months wages each year is something more than
$33 000 The usual amendment was added to
the deficiency bill on Wednesday, and as it was
passed under suspension of the rules there was
no chance.to discuss this fagrant steal on the
floor of the House. This year there are men on
the clerks and sergeant at arnss roll who will
draw thirteen months pay for three months
work, and not protest from the coteric of pro-
fessional economists
