The Sd district is at last heard from.-MooRE,

It is thought it may go up to 93. But this is
immaterlal. The result is glorious, beyond
expectation. Louisiana was the only wing
State which was considered questionable at
Harrsburgh, with Harrison for the candidate
In 1886. She gave her electoral vote to Van

OF THE STATE LEGIsLATURE--and we have a
majority in the aggregate vote throughout the

This is indeed a brilliant triumph, especially
when we remember that at the last presidential

THE SUB-TREAsuRY. According to the ad-
mnistration presses, all who do not support tho
sub-trcasury system, or government bank in dis
guise, are federasts or desertcrs from the DEM
ocratic ranks 1t is now in fact the grand test
of loco-foco Democracy, and all the party who do
not say are denounced as "apostates," "rene-
gldes," &c &c.
But how long has this been SOL In 1896 tho
deposit bank system was the only test of Democ-
racy. Mr. Gordon of Virginia, in that year in.
troduced a bill providing that the revenue should
not be placed in banks, and not used by the
banks as part of their banking capital. Not
single member Of the administration in Congress
roted tr his bill, and onlya few Wings. The
Globe then denounced the scehme as follows;
| "Thc scheme is DISORGANIZING and REvO-
| "LUTlONARf, subvcrsive of the fundamental prln-
"cples OF our government and its practice from 1850
down to this day 1t is papablc as the sun that
the effect OF this scheme would bring the public
Jury much nearer the actual custody and control of
| the President than IT is now and expose il TO BE
"PLUNDERED BY HUNDRED HANDS, where
| zone cannot now reach It,"
The next message of Gen. jackson, that of
9th Dec. 1886, spoke of this Sub treasury
scheme thus:
"To retain the public money in the Treasury unem-
''p!oycd IN any way is mprac'able IT IS BESIDES
| AGAINST THE GENIUS OF OUR FREE IN.
"STITUTIONS TO LOCK UP IN VAULTS THE
! "TREASURE or THE NATION"
Yet now all who do not change their princ.
ciples at the word of command, and adopt q
system under which the revenue is exposed TO
be "plundercd by a hundred hands, uhere ons
cannot now reach it," are denounced IS "conser.
Yatve Judasses."

OGI,E'S SPEECH.

Great efforts have been made by the loco
focos to invalidate the statements contained in
this valuable document, bat without effect. IT
is hard getting over the testimony Of Official
documents and it is upon these alone, Mr..
Ogle relies. The vouchers for every thing are
given, and no member of the house dared to dis.
pute any of his state ments when he made the
speech. Mr.. Lincoln of Massachusetts, made
some remarks, and expressed his opinion that so
much time ought not to be taken up with expen-
dtures at the Presidents house, when there
were so many other charges against the admin
stration of a far more henous character to be
made. The Globe gave report of Mr.. Lincoln's
spec ch, which all the presses of the party are
now copying and call it refutaton Of Mr.. Ogle's
speech. But this is false report of l.ncolns
speech, and Mr.. Lincoln has so declared. Mel
Their Mr.. Lincoln nor any other member of the
house ever impeached the correctness of the
statements of Mr.. Oge. Nor is it true that any
committee Of Congress at any time, ever select
ed furniture for the Presidents house. They
report the money that is wanted, and put it in
the appropriation bill, and that is all they have to
do with it. The President expends the money
| in his own way, and the people can Judge for
themselves as to the fitness of these expendi-
| lures.
But, lest any person should be led to doubt
the authenticity of the documents quoted, pains
has been taken to have them verified by the loco
foco members of the committee to which Mr.
Ogle belonged as also by a number of the lead.
ing wing members of the house. The publlca.
ton of those documents has also called out Mr.
Lincoln in explanation and from his letter il
will be seen that he fully sustains every materia
fact stated by Mr.. Ogle, and says that the disa
greement between him and Mr.. o. arose on 4;
collateral point in the debate, which of course
is not incorporated into the published speech
So that Mr.. Ogle's speech as published, is full.
corroborated and sustained by Mr.. Lincoln him
self. Another fact comes out in this correspon
dence which should not be overlooked. 1t seem
that hcemy-seren thousand dollars OF the sun
in question was expended by Mr. Van Buren,
between the 4th of March and 9th of Decem
Der 1887, wit'om any appropriation for the object
and when no committee existed. When Con
gress met in December, an appropriation wa
called for and obtained to corer this expenditure
And yet the locofocos insist that the Presden
has no agency in the matter whatever.

COLLISION OF STEAM BOATS-T.OSS OF
4,

From J. Chapman Huacr, Esq of South Carolina,
who reached this city yesterday evening in the Nor
folk steamboat we learn the particulars of fearful
collision which occurred at sea Saturday night
last, between the steamboats, Governor Dudley and
North Carolina, and which resulted in the loss of the
latter boat together with the passengers baggage and
the L. S. Mails for the South Provi,lentiallv no
lives were lost These boats both belong TO the Will
minglon and Roanoke Rail Road Company, md 4,
the time of the collision, which took place sea abou,
90 miles South OF Wilmington, the North Carolina
was running towards Charleston with the Northern
passengers and mails, while the Governor Dudley was
on her way towards Wilmington.
The collision took place about o'clock, a. NJ. il
being starlight, with perfectly calm sea The boats
going at the rate Of II or II miles an hour, and
were seen by each other for mile two before they
came together. How they managed TO run into each
o'hcr is not known the captain of each bout was il
his berth at the timehaving stood his regular watch
the mate ofoach having charge. The Gov. Dud
ev's bow struck the North Carolina between the Ia
dies and gentlemen cabin The shock was tcrrbl,
and in ten minutes after took place. the North Ca
rolina had sunk to the waters edge.
The passengers of both boats all in their berthe
at the time and had barely time escape with thc
lives The great GOODNESS and self-posscssion mani
tested on the trying occasion by the captain of eacl
boat, doubtless the means Of preventing any los
of lie. The small boats were Immediately manned
and the passengers of the North Carolina all conveyc'
