If theae are the beat arguments he has we must pot up with them; hot really all he has laid In reply aeema to amount to nothing more. He aayi the expense of the last fiscal year wet the “enormous and unprecedented sum of $54,699,590”- —and that one fiscal year under Van Buretas,Administration" was $54,000,000,” He does not lay what it was under Path's administration. Now, if Mr. Elder will deduct from the above amount, the $16,445,190, which was applied to the payment es debts incurred by Polk's administration it will leave but $50,460,404 is tbe total of Fillmore's. Then if ha will deduct $0,649,080, which constitutes the expenses of the Mexican acquisitions—-Isei Texas, and which wat notour territory, during Van Buren's administration, Born this amount, and it will leave $50,891,598 at the expenses

of Fillmore's administration. The expenses of the Florida wet did not amount to $9,000,000 the last year of Van Buren's administration whisk if deducted from the whole amount, will leave mor<than $57,000,000. Thus showing more than $6,000,000 in favor of Fillmore's administration over Van Buren's. Tub Cottrnonise Missonis.—The editor es the Jeffersonian, Mr. Elder, admits that he “will support the nominee of the Democratic National Convention,without regard to whether ha is pledged in favor of those (compromise) measures or not"

We infer from the above that Mr. Elder heartily approves of the course pursued by the Hon. IWj Pffher o those “measures," end that he prejudice the Free Soilars against him. He certainty still not court free-soil votes for himself again. * i Mr. Elder admits thathe looked apwt a lower ticket with holy horror in 1644. Now he is for a lawyer ticket. Wonder what has caused such a change to come over the “spirit of hte dreams."

Tha Sentinel has got Awfh over our statement that Nic. McCarty it a farmer, as well as foe Jeffersonian. They are determined te drew the wool over foe eyea of foe people if they ean. If foe Editor of foe Sentinel had to ant a thousandth part of foe pork, com, end beam that Nic haa raised upon hit form, ha would ba to# fag'a man to deny such a notorious feet. If foe denial of foe JeKbtsonian that foe Democrats ere as guilty of the mammoth internal Improvement system ae foe whig# are, would make it ae, notwithstanding tha facto, we might be anxious thathe would "admit"—and not deny dt. But nredo not expect that he aril I admit, knowingly, any feet which would be prejudicial to foe suecem or his party. The charge ie felly proved, notwithstanding hie denial of it— The denial fa nothing in comparison to foo admissions of R.D. Owen. Belton and Wright to tha contrary.

The Sentinel, since Owen he* written hie silly has commenced mimicing him by writing other dialogue* of the same stripe. If he thinks the Democrat* will swallow such Staff, he has more confidence in their gullibility than we expected.

IftoiAXAFoLts, May 50th, 1464. Much Os the time of both branches of the Legislature, during the pact week, haa been taken up In ths consideration of lha bill reported by the Commissioners to reviee and aimplyfy the pleadings and practice In the Courts of this State. Specie! reference to the amendments made would not interest the render. The whole matter will end in rnueh. trouble to the Courts, and ha a fruitful source of litigation among the people. Ten years practice under K, will not settle many points whleh hate been ineorporated in it. Tha hill relative to elections has passed. By one of Its provisions, ths election of members of Congress fa to he held this foil, and biennially hero after. This change will tenure a member In ease of sail for an extra session; but is objected to because the member will be elected more than a year before he will take Me seat, and not sufficiently "fresh from the people." As soon ae the Presidential nominations are made, we suppose tbe aspirants for Congressional honors, will be presenting their claims before their sovereigns. Tha sooner tbe better. The Wkoletiekct should be before the people, and let the work commence. There is a big fight to he had—let the eaptalhs be selected, and the fotees marshalled. Loeofocoism will make a "life and death straggle" for eon tinued supremacy in Indiana; hut by the right kind of an effort the Whig banner Wtacth has so long hung in folds may be made to float triumphantly in October next. Whigs of Indiana look to it.

The bill fixing the fees and salaries has not yet finally paaaed the House. There is quite a disposition to increase the salaries of mo it of ths officers, but to many amendments have been offered to the bill, adopted, lost and changed again, that it is impossible to even guest what will he the change. The salary of the Governor will in all probability be raised to 41600—the Supreme Judges to 41900 and The School bilTwhich passed the House fa now pending in the Senate. We are inclined to think the etaue* which consolidates the <songFsssismti land fond will he atrieken out. If It should not, the Townships will have the power to contest ths right the State eiaius to take it from them. Os the result of eueh a contest, we have no doubt. If policy, and even necessity required this change, it cannot be mnde under the law. The provision making n general fond of the School tax will be unjuet to the older and more wealthy portions of thn State. Under a tax of 10 cents on the StOO or vnluation, Wayne county would he required to pay Bomelhing over S6OOO, end of thie turn at leaet S3OOO would be expended iu other eonntieo of the State. The re-distribution of the surplus revenue fond would also take from Wayne county several thousand dollars. To this perhaps our people ought not to ebjeet, but it ie et least doubtfol whether the legal right to re-dietribute exists. The provision for fifteen district superintendents has been etrieken ont. The bill assesses a tax of 4$ cents on the SIOO for the purpose of estebiising township libraries. The bill creating a State Board of Equalisetioa for the purpeeeof securing a more just assessment of taxes on the reel property of the State hes passed, aad copies of it will soon he seat to the respective County Auditors of the State. We shell look with some interest to the action of that Board (or justice to the counties of the Whitewater Valley. There is a proposition pending in the Legislature to print 1000 copies of the Revised Statutes in the German language. It would coat the Stats not less than SIO,OOO, and we are inclined to think our German friends who are au indnetrions and tax paying people are not anxious thus to increase the taxes of the Slate, aad take from the pockets of each one of them a share of this cost, when not one iu ten thousand of them wouM ever see u copy of the

book. 'An effort was made on Saturday last to fin the time tar an adjoarnssent. The resolution es the House fixed the 15th et Jane—the Senate amended to 10th, and then laid the whole matter oa the table.
