RISING UX: SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1S37. (&A considerable portion of our paper to-day is occupied with matter relating to the division of the county, and to legislative proceedings in regard to the disposition of the surplus revenue. Both these subjects are of deep interest to our readers. It will be seen that the division bill was lost in the Senate by two votes. We believe the friends of the measure entertain some hope of obtaining a re consideration of the vote. There appears to be some difficulty as to what disposition shall be made of the surplus revenue. Several plans have been proposed; and it is hard to predict what will be done with it.
(kF"A bill has passed both branches of the Legislature, changing the time of holding the Courts in this Circuit. Hereafter, the Courts of Dearborn county will be held on the 4th Mondays of April and October; and may sit 12 days, if the business require it.
0OAn inquest was held on Wednesday last, by Capt. John Tait, Coroner of the count)-, on the body of a man named Jl'illiam Fletcher, who was found dead in the road, near Col. Fulton's, in this vicinity. Verdict of the Jury Death by Intemperance. It appeared that Fletcher had been 8 or 10 days in the employ of Mr. J. I. French that he came to town on Tuesday night and purchased a gallon of whiskey, and had got as far back as the place where he was found, when he either fell or lay down and died. Better than half the whiskey was in the jug by his side, when he was found.
OrThe last Palladium announces Gen. Amaziaii Morgan of Rush county, as a candidate to represent this district in the next Congress. The same paper has heretofore announced Major John P. Dcnn of Lawrenceburgh, for that station. This nomination, we are informed, has been made without Major Dunn's knowledge or consent.
Qj Metier from Washington, to the Editor, dated on the 9ih instant, says: 'We had a real fly round, or riot, if you please, in the House to-day, in consequence of the presentation of some lady abolition petitions, by J. Q. Adams. Such a petition is like a fire brand in the House, that blazes as soon as it touches."
05-It is rumored that an attempt
will be made at the present session of
the Legislature, to attach Ripley county back to Dearborn.
OCT Mr. Heuod has been elected to Congress from the Indianapolis district, to fill (he vacancy occasioned by (he death of Mr. Kixnakd. He is a Whig. OrThe Indiana Democrat contains a communication, signed Many Indianirecommending Gen. Samuel Milrov, of Carroll county, for Governor,
.and Marks Crtjme, Esq. of F ayette,
for Lieutenant Governor, at the next August election.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 12th, is the latest of that paper we have re ceived. The followingis quoted from it: "Prices of Hogs receded a little last week, and some lots were sold at about 1-2 cent lower than the week previous but since the prices have recovered to about the highest rates, viz. $7 to 7 1-2. Considerable quantities of bulk meat and Lard, of country packing, are offered in the market. We have heard ofsales of the former at 8 to 8 1-4, and 10 a 10 1-2 for the latter. Barrel Pork has sold at 19 a 20 it is difficult to obtain the latter price for Mess. Clear $21 a 22. Flocr has declined a shade. Sales
at $7 1-2 to 7 3-4 from wagons. Not
iiiuv.ii ci I I I 111;
From Texas. The new government
of Texas, under the administration of
General Houston, have taken efficient measures to pay the large amount of debts contracted here during the last campaign. The early attention given by the present Executive to the demands of the merchants of New Orleans, who so patriotically lent their aid to the cause of Texas and Liberty, deserves the highest commendation. We are assured by Mr. Bryan that the
country remains perfectly tranquil, and (hat the utmost confidence prevailed in the stability of the governor.

The Hon. Henry Clav was re-elec
ted on the 15th ult., by the Legisla. fureof Kentucky to the United State
Senate, for six years from the 4lh of
March next. He was opposed by Mr. Guthrie, of Louisville. The vote stood for Clay 76, Guthrie 54.
The Hon. Mr. Mangum, of North
Carolina, and the Hon. Mr. Leigh of
Virginia, have resigned their seats in
the Senate of the United States. Mr. Robert Strange, V. B. has been elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the former.
John S. S pence, of Worcester coun-
tv, has been elected a senator of the United States from the state of Maryland, to fill the vnenncy occasioned by the death of the Hon. R. H. Goldebo-
rough. Mr. Spence, like his predecessor was, is a Whig.
O-The Palladium of last Saturday
says "From the last Rising Sun Times we learn that several dogs have been
killed in that place, after exhibiting the most undoubted symptoms of Hy
drophobia." The Palladium never learned any such thing from the Rising
,Sun Times. We never made such a
statement, nor any thing like it. Thi
.story is about on a par with the one the Palladium told a short time since about
the "Hydrophobia being alarmingly
prevalent in Vevay and its vicinity!
Col. Levi Lockiiart. This penile-
man. formerly a member of the Legis
lature of this state from Washington county, departed for Texas, a short time since, with twenty volunteers, with a view of serving under President
Houston. He is a man of great per
sonal courage, which he evinced in the last war with Great Britian. His old
friends and members of the Legislation have eiven him a strong recom
mendation to President Houston. The
recommendation has been forwarded
to Texas, and we trust will induce the
President of that country to give him
honoxabk service. Ind. LJcm.
It is now ascertained that R. M.
Johnson is not elected vice president by
the electoral colleges, and that the election will devolve upon the United
States Senate. The contest will be
between Johnson and Granger. John
son has received one hundred and for
ty-four votes, and it requires but two
more to elect him.
