The Indiana Legislature==Appcint= ment of Committees. Latest from Arkansas---Both Parlies Claim the State. Addifional Returns df Dajorities THEILLINGIS UNITED STATES SINATORSHIP. cial Despatch to The Chicago Tribure, SeRINGFIELD, Ill.; Nov. 18.—Governor Ogiesby Las been in'this city for several days, taking a preliminary survey of the situation on the Sena- torial subject, the principal topic in political cir- cles. He says little, simply stating that this is hardly the proper time to announce himself as a candidate, especially as there is a tacit under- standing inthe Republican party that heis to have the place. On that tacit understanding bo places infinite reliance. His friends say ho must be made Semator; that it would be too bad to go back on him; that he fought gallantly through the campaign; that everybody understood he was running for the Senatorship ; that the people cheered at the meetings for the next Senator; that it will be hard work to beat him, and that he is eminently fitted for the position. It scems that the Gov- ernor has been making no pecial cxertion, but he hes not followed Logau's tactics of pledging membrs to vote for Lim; that e deems it derogatory to the dignity of the position to seek by divact personal appeal, and trusts to a sort of spoutaneons movement in his favor when tho Legislature convenos. His ad- herents do not seem to have estimated his etrenglh, nor can they name the members Wwho will vote for him. Promises do not seemto have been extorted from any one, and 8o far thero are but few Republicans who are not perfectly free to do as they choose when the question comes before them in {heir legislativo capacity. Tho race lias, there- fore, not fairly begun, and the field is yet open for entries. Washburne's presence in the State Capital puzzles the Governor's friends, They inquire what ho is doing_this cold weather away from sunny France. Why he has been exploring the interior of the State, whon he has, not long 250, denied that he is o candidate. These interroga- tories puzzle them, and they have concluded thet their favorite has another contest before him. They do not think, Loweer, that Wash- ‘burne cen beat Oglesby; that he would be re~ %:rded as the Administration candidate, and emocrats would vote for Oglesby to spite Gen- eral Grant; that Beveridge would make o good Governor; that it was understood at the time of the nomination that Beveridge was to be Governor; that Beveridge's qualifications for that place wero then canvnssed; thab be ran behind his ticket on ac count of his temperance proclivities; that he was ecratched by Germans only, and that the voters outeide of that nationality were in sympathy with him on the liquor question. Oglesby's friends defend Beveridgo with zeal, and are inclined to believe he does not injure thoir candidate by being his possible successor. Washburne's fricnds point to his brilliant rec- ord sbroad, to his devotion to tho intereats of Dis_constituents when at home, and to his ebility and ftness for the Scnato. They’ claim that his extended ex- perience in Congrees would ensble him to at once resume & leading position in the Serate, and reficct immediate lustre upon the State ; that the Germans are for him 28 a reward for his sorvices to their countrymen duriog the Trench war, end to keop Boveridge from being Governor ; thet Ogleaby was reaily not a can- didato for the Senate since June last; that he wrote o letter in that month to the Chicago Zvening. Journal, ssying that he was running Tor Governor; that the latter was inreply to the charge thethe simply desired the Governor- ship ss a stopping-stone to the Senate; but the letter left the inference that he would serve his time 1s Governor, and that though he might rather be Senator, tho people preferred he should duplicate his former excellent adminis- tration of the Executive Department. There is believed to be & third Richmond in the field in tho shepe of Hon. Shelby M. Callom. He denies that he is 3 candidate, but if, in the mutations of the contest, it should fall to his lot to be offered tho prize, he could not, and would not, refuee it. He had a high opinion of Wash- burhe, with whom he was essocinted for many vears jn Congress, and thought ho would boa formidable candidate and a first-rate Senator. His leaning was rather in the direction of Ogles- Dy, but he was pledged to neither. Logan is said to favor Cullom moro than Oglesby or Washburne. Ho owes Cullom one. Cullom came from Washington to help him de- feat Oglesby. Cullom is said to bo his first choice ; Oglesby his second, end Washburne his third, Cullom is to be elected Speaker as a pre- liminary movement ; that will give hima decided start, as he will have the appointment of the Committees. Scammon is com&:nrafively unknown here, and is never mentioned. He may be counted out of the race in this part of the State. There is now & prospect of a three-cornered fight, one of tho parties looking on until the other two are nearly exhaunsted, when he may tako & hand in an attempt to send both to grass. There is a prevalent opinion that Oglesby i8 en- titled to the place, if there is such & thing a8 po- litical fair-play, and that had he made the can- vass without being a candidate for Governor, or even had some other Lieutenant, it would be al- most impossible to beat him. The Governor left for Chicago to-night. INDIANA LEGISLATURE. Special Deapateh to The Chicago Tribune. Ixpravarouis, Nov. 18.—Both branches met at 2p.m. In the Senate, the President announced the Standing Committees, after which a number of new propositions were introduced, the most im- portant of which were bills to abolish the office of Agent of State; to allowupon judgments the same interests as the contracts on which they wero based, and a resolution directing the Com- mittes on Printing to inquire into the cxpedien- o5 of abolishing the office of Public Printer, and to report by bill or otherwise. i Tho House joint resolution prohibiting the payment of the Wabash and Erie Cenal bonds, was referred to the Standing Committee on that subject. . In the House, the Speaker announced the Stending Committees. To the resolution previously adopted, the Houso_ went into the Committea of the Whole upon the Governor's messago, and 4] propriatel; referred the various subjects which he discusse and the recommendations he made. Pursuant to a resolution of that body, the Sen- ate Chember is draped in mourning in respect to the mory” of the late John W. Burson, whose eligibility to his sest occupied a large'por- tion of the time of tho Senate at its last session, resulting in his expulsion. i The Committees in_both branches being or- ganized, legislation will now commence in carn- Gst, and there seems to be & disposition to make this a working session. ALABAMA POLITICS. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘Wasamerox, D. ., Nov. 18.—Recent press despatches from Alabama convey an erroneous impression, regarding the complexion of the Lower House of the Legislature of thnt State. Complete returns received by Democratie and Liberal politicians here show that, including the four members from Marengo County who were arrested by the United States Marshal last Sat- urdsey, the Radicals would have & small majority. If those four members are deterred from par- ticipating in the election for United States Sena- tor, which gccurs by law on the 26th inst., the Radicals will have at léast tweity=five majority on joint bellot. The candidates sre ex-Governor Perry, Judgs Reynolds; aod the Hon. George E. Spencer. The _incumbent, Spencer, 0 manipulitéd sffairs during the recent canvass, as to secure to himself the support of some of the Democrats, and, it is elated, many of the Liberal members. He there- fore goes into the contest with & positive strength which is superior to his opponent's. Governor Perry's name will only be brought for- ward a8 & compromise candidate, in the event of Spencer failing to receive a majority on the first ballot. . Ned Webster, of New York, s gone down to Montgomery to aid Spencer, and it is under- stood that 'he is well provided with efective sinews from Wall street, with which {o accom- puish that object. THE OFFICIAL VOTE OF ILLINO!S, Sgecial Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. 18.—The .official vote of the State, as recorded in the State Depart- ment, gives Grant 210,387, and Gréelsy 183,679, The total vote is 424,056, Grant's msjority is 56,118. ‘The official vote of 1868 wis 449,443; which is 25878 more than was cast in 1872, Grant's vote is 9,806 less in 1872 than in 1868. Oglosby received 238,420 votes, and Koerner 196,996, ' Oglesby's majority is 41,424, The official vote in the Forty-fifth Senatorial District elects W. J. Crews, of Lawrence Coun- ty, over Edwin Harlan, by 51 majority. Har- Ian's election has been re; led as certain, and his name appesrs in all the lists_published, but the official vote settles the question against him. Tho Legislature will be constituted: Senate, Republican, 33 ; Opposition, 18 ; House, Repub- lican, 88 ; Opposition, 65; Republican majority on joint ballot, $7. THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE. Moyraoueny, Als, Nov. 18.—The Alsbama Legislature convened to-day. At 13 o'clock Tieutenant Governor Moren, who holds over by the Constitution until his successor is qualified, called the Senate to order in the Senate Chem- ber. Eightean Senators were sworn in, and the Sonste adjourned. In the hall of the House, Mr. Hubbard, Speaker of the Iast House, and who holds over by the Constitution until his successor is elected and qualified, called the members to order, and, on the call of the roll of counties, forty-five Tepresentativos prosented themselves, and were sworn in. There not being a quorum, the Houso ad- journed until 12 m, to-morroyw. Every member in each House st the Capital, appearing to-day, was a Conservative. o Republicans met at the United States Court-room, and orgenized with a momber of each branch in the chair. This makes two Leg- islatures in Alabama. Five Conservatives were abeent, but will arrive to-night. The three at Mareno, who were arrested yesterday, hold cor- tificates of election, but they have heen carried to Mobile, This would make 53 Conservative members in the Conservative branchj 51 is a quorum. _ The Republicans are said to have sworn in 52 in their branch, claiming and seating three from Marengo and three from Bubour Counties, but who do not hold ccrtificates of election from the Secretary of State. The Conservatives from Barbour County who Lold certificates were arrasted this afternoon, but they promptly e bonds to appear at tho next term of the United States Court, and were gischarged. ‘There is considerable excitement, but no die- turbance vet. To-morrow will probably make new developments. _ THE LOUISIANA ELECTION FRAUDS.

Wasamotos, Nov. 18.—Efforts are beingmade by certain Radical parties in Virgwia to indues the President toremove eeveral prominent car- pet-bag” Federal officials in that State. Senator Lewis and Congressman-elect Smith, of Rich- mond, called on him, s fow days sgo, and inti- mated this desire.

It is well known that many inventors, with their products, will be in attendance on the Exposition, and the managers of the excursion party will arrange matters for them through the Patent Offico, and for edua- tors, and scientific men generally, throngh the Bureau of Education. Several lodges of Knight Templars and other orders will make ex- cursions to Burope and will attend the Exposi- tion.

Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, it isshown that there were on file unadjudicated ;June 80, 1872, clams of invelid pensioners; 83,762 claims of widowors, _orphans, and _dcpendent Tolativos, and 11,530 of soldiers and widows of the war of 1812; total, 83,578 claims. The Com- missioner estimates that the claims on account of the wer of 1812 will be disposed of by the lst of May next. Ho states that the investigation of frauds continues to receive special attention, with such gratifying results, both in detection 2nd repression of wrong doing, as todemand the continuance of the present po ic“y. It is estimated that 580,480,000 will be re- quired for the pension service during the mest fiscal year. SOUTHERN CLAIMS. The Southern Claims Commigsion are now en- goged in preparing their annual report to Con— gress, and no public session was held to-day. Since their last report they have examined and will soon adjust soveral thousand claims, the ‘majorityof which are for small amounts. Many questions of importanes were discuseed in their Tast report, and the coming one will not probably be very lengthy or contsin many suggestions. Tt is looked for eagerly by the claimants, how- ever. PATENT REPORT. The report of the Commissioner of . Patents, for the year; ended Sept. 30, 1872, has” been transmitied to the Secretary of the Interior. The number of spplications for patents during that year was 19,587 ; number of applications for extension, 284; for the registry of trade marks, 589, Issued 13,620 patents, 233 extensions, and 556 -cortificates ~ of registry of trade marks, - and 81,000 caveats were filed.

The Commissioner of Patents stafed that his ofiice has outgrown its original plan of organization, in 1338, and that it is now absolutely necessary to_secure to inventors end to the country the benefits of the patent systom. Ho urges the importance of separating the Patent Office from the Department, and states the evils of the association of the oflice with the Department is scarcely felt under the adminis- tration of the present Secretary, as ho has recognized the fact that . the work of tho Patent Office is radically difforont from that of other bureaux, providing different quali- fications on the part of its employes, and, hence, he has not interfered with its peculiar daties. To conclusion, the Commissioner urges the necessity for more working room, and room for the files of his office. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribuie. TIOSE CABINET BUMORS.

THE NEW YORE FOST ON BOUTWELL. Niw York, Nov. 18.—The Pos/, to-day, in an editorial on Ar. Boutwell and his succeseor in the Treasury, says: Should Mr. Boutwell bo translated to the Senats as the successor of Mr. Wilson, ho need only desire the same measure of usefulness and success that has re- ‘warded his career as a Cabinet Minister. His faithful collection of the revenues, and his rigorous approprias tion of them to the reduction of tks National debt, contributed more than all other influences combined to the re-election of President Grant. Aftor an allusion to_the Republicanizing in- fluenco in the OId Worid of Boutwell's monthly statements, announcing the steady and rapid re- Shiotion of ‘tho Nationai dobe. the Post adda: The credit of reading this lesson In financial ad- ministration to the world is to be divided between the-people who furpished money, the Minister who applied it, and the President who has suztained hi if, and any statesmen may justly envy the share w! belongs to Mr, Boutwell., DOUTWELL'S PROBABLE STCCESSOR, The Post eays an impression provails that Ed- win D.

Special Despatch to The Chiago Tribune. New Yorg, Nov. 18.—The power of convicts with bank accounts to get their cases reopened in New York is exemplified to-day by announce- ments that both * Dutch” Heinrich and the sbortionist Rosenzweig were to have new trials. Dutch Heinrich is reputed to-be the most skil- fal sneak-thief in the country, but many intel- ligent persons, including reporters who fol- lowed his trial closely, have doubted his com- miiting the particular bank robbery for which e was convicted, a few months ago, and sent to Sing Sing for ten years. Itis reported that two New York eneak-thieves, called ‘ Pepperman” Joo and Johnny Price, are now known to have porformed that job. The loophole through which Heinrich will have a second trial is his exclusion as & witness in his own behalf, because ho had previonsly served & term in prison. Since he wes placed in the Penitentiary recently, Heinrich has feigned insanity, and made an in- ‘genious, but unsuceessfal. atfempt to escape. Rosenzweig, who caused the death of Alice Bowlsby, and tried to ship ber_remains by rail- way in a trunk, was sentenced last November for seven years. -He bas also been awarded a nevw trial, on several legal exceptions to the ad- missibility of certain evidence as to previous offences committed by Rosenzweig. [To the Associated Press.}, New Yorg, Nov. 18.—The Committes of Sey- enty will decide to-morrow eveni.n%whether it will continue in existence or not.

Thurlow Weed is slowly recovering from his recent severe indisposition. TInsurance circles are excited over rumors that the Judges in an adjoining county sre ready to appoint Receiversupon ez parfestatements, with 3 view of making money out of the misfortunes of companiés. The un erwriters say that they will resist all such action, and hnf: that thenext Legislatnre will so_improve the law that compa- ‘nies temporarily affected by the great disaster may ot be pushed into liquidation on the ex parle statements of any one actuated by motives ‘of malice or gain. The Methodist Church has appropriated for foreign missions $318,625, being $102,337 in ex- cess of last year. The total amount appropri- ated for mission purposes, foreign and domestic, is $859,425.

The Society Aleace-Lorraine expended £1,815 1ast monthin relieving their expatriated coun- trymen who had arrived here. ‘The fund forthis pirpose has reached nearly 510,000, TIn the Oyer and Terminer Court to-day, appli- cation was made for an order compelling the District Attorney to_furnish William M. Tweed with lists of the witnesses before the Grand Jury, specifying the witnesses applicable to each indictment. A motion was also e to arraign Tweed, who was in the court. A motion to fixan early day for the trial of Edward Stokes for the murder of Fisk was also made. A decision will be made in each case to- morrow. The full bench of the Supreme Court, to-dag, satasidetheconviction of Rosenzweig,thé famous abortionist, who was sentenced last November to soven years’ imprisonment, for the murder of Alice Bowlsby 2nd packing the remains in a trunk for transportation from the city, and or- dered a new Lrial.
