THE sUB.TREAsURY RIrI.

The Federal Loco-focos renewed their efforts
yesterday to give the Sub-Treasury Bill prece
dence over all other proper business of the H. Of
Representatives and especially to thrust aside
the bills reported for the benefit of individuals
having equitable claims against the Government
But they were defeated. Mr.. CLARK, of N. Y
asked the Chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means to modify the motion for going into
Committee Of the Whole, so as to take up the
Army or the Navy Appropriation Bill Tha,
gentleman declined and his Federal Loco-focc
allies raised chorus Of "No!Nop What
care they for the Army or the Navy or any
other branch Of the public service2 They have
paid themselves and now insist on the Sub
Treasury or nothing, They did not get il.

pRoGREss oE OPINION

The subjoined proofs of change in public
opinion, against the spoils Administration, are
given in the last Wheeling Gazette. The or
gans and orators of the Office holders party NAV
continue to assert that there are " no changes"
among the people against Van Burenism, but
who will believe their report in the face of such
evidence to the contrary The Wheeling Ga
zette says: IAN old gentleman and his six sons,
all voters, were in our city one day last week.
They had all been Jackson men, and all sup
ported the present Administration until year
ago. when they commenced thinking for them
selves, and one by one deserted the party, until
at last the father and his sons were all found to
be Harrison men. This family reside in our
neighboring State, (Ohio,) are not not only re-
spectacle, but influential
Another case, however, is more singular. "At
a hotel in this city, few days since, our inform
ant met with six raftsmen from Pennsylvania.
In conversation he found that they had all been
Jackson and Van Buren, men, but that now five
Of them were warm friends Of Harrison, and the
sixth was doubtful how he would vote. These
men were entirely unconnected with each other,
accidentally thrown together, and yet they had
alike changed their political sentiments
These facts speak for themselves, and loudly
too, as to the progress Of change in favor of the
peoples cause and candidate.

A FIT AGENT FOR THE EXTRA GLOBE
Yesterday, the Federal Loco-focos Of the
House, voted against the proposition Of Mr.
cHMS' Of Louisiana, 70 call on the Postmaster
General for information relative to the defalca-
ton OF the Postmaster at Baton Rouge. We
presume they felt bound TO do all they could to
screen delinquent officer Of whom Mr.. KEN
DALI has no doubt promised to !" take care" ON
condition that he will assist the g Extra" editor
Of the Globe in Preaching the minds" and peck
cts Of the people. During the discussion of the
General Appropriation Bill, these same Federal
Loco-Focos determined, by a vote against GER
tain amendment Of Mr.. RICE GARLAND, that a
k''orn defaulter might continue 10 hold office,
and 10 pocket the public money In the case
now under consideration they resolutely vote to
stifie inquiry, lest il should be authoritatively
proved TO the country that known defaulter has
been and IS kept in Office. What shall be said
OF the morals OF party that thus INSCRIPTIONS
" converts the grand inquest of the nation into
q committee for screening defaulters; or of an
Administration that makes the public Offices the
rec0mpense of public DELINQUENCY!

Safety of Steamboat Travelling. The me
mortal Of the steamboat owners of New York
and other cities, asking Congress to repeal GER
tain portions Of the steamboat law, is accompa
MED by statement from the pen Of w. G. Red
field, ESQ, which shows with what safety we
can travel in steamboats,, and how few among
the millions transported in this way, are ever in
jured. II viii be seen, that during the last FIVE
wears, the number of lives lost to the whole
number Of passengers, was only one to nearly
two millions.
|, appears from Mr. Redfeld's schedule, than
the number Of miles navigated by steam vessels
connected with the port Of New York, in five
years ending 3lst December, 1924, was about
2,s27, $50, with an aggregate of 4,796,o0o pas
sengers, Of whom thirty EIGHT, or one in 1881
lost their lives. Twelve accidents occurred.
During the FIVE years ending at the close Of
1893, the estimated numbers of miles run was
4,2l6,20O, with an aggregate Of 9,41e,700 pas
sengers. Number Of accidents tve--lives lost
sixty-two; or one to 1881.
During the five years ending 3lst December,
1885, the estimated number Of miles run was
5,467,450; aggregate number Of passengers. To-
1885, 300; number Of accidents, two; lives lost,
eight or one in 1885, 1888.
The average number of miles TO each explo-
sion in the first Of the above periods, was 23o,-
GAG in the second, s43,23o; and in the third,
2,733,725.

This admirable performer takes his benefit tonight

and gives faithful representation with refined and
gentlemanly delineation In all the varieties of
medy he seems to be MASTER and constantly treats
you with the chcfd'9uvre Of his art-plays most
touchngly all the tragic incidents that fire.
quently introduced into comedy. His hstrionic cee-
brty always finds its eulogy in never failing APP
plauding auditory such will be shown tonight in

may be found in his well written plays, which do
much credit to his head and heart.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM DEATH


Three or four weeks ago, Mr. Ladd, who
was travelling on foot in Iowa Territory, neal
Fort Madison, was fallen in with by three other
men. to whom, in the course of conversation, he
Unmarried the knowledge of his having four OF
five hundred dollars with him, which he was
going 10 paw in at the land Office. The three
strangers instantly determined to obtain the mo-
new and on their reaching broken part of the
country, attacked Mr. l.. with clubs and knives,
killed him as they thought, robbed him. threw
him into ravine, covered him with brush, and
then continued on their journey.
A rivulet of water flowed down the ravine in
which Mr.. Ladd lay buried, and the cooling and
refreshing element coming in contact with his
wounded head, had the effect Of cleansing the
wounds and restoring him to animation. Know
ing the route of the robbers, he instantly set out
in pursuit Of them-reached Fort Madison,
where he heard they had descended the river
procured skifE-reached ST. Louis, and in an
hour or two apprehended two Of the ruffians. The
third had not yet reached the city, and was ar
rested on landing a short time afterwards The
villains were the next day taken back to Iowa,
and the court being in session, were instantly
tried convicted, and sent TO the pententiary,
one for five years, another for eleven, and the
third for twenty-three. How much Of the mo-
ney Mr.. l.. was able to recover we have not
heard.
Their names, as we learn from the ST. Louis
Pennant, are James Guy, sometimes calling
himself Gordon Jacob Abdon, and James Nc
Gubbin. The name Of the man robbed, ac-
cording to the same paper, is not Ladd, but E.
S. Gage The Pennant says Guy had "rascal''
stamped in every lineament Of his face, and he
and Abdon, Ia bold reckless man, unquestion-
ably were the means of enticing McGubbin,
who seemed to be timid, weak-minded man,
into participation Of their crime.

THE TEN HOUR SYSTEM.

If Mr.. Van Buren, had really entertained any
sympathy for the working classes, he would have
listened to their petitions rather than have pur-
sued atthis late day the dictates of his own fears
Albeit his pretended sympathy now for them
may deceive few at distance, still it cannot
alter the facts in relation to his real conduct TO-
wards those actual laborers upon the public works
who are immediately affected by it, They recol.
lect that Mr.. Van Buren, has not only not given
them the ten hour system heretofore, but that he
did last year in one instance, at least change
back the system from ten hours to working from
sunrise to shutdown. We allude to the case OF
the laborers at Harper's Ferry. Thus Mr.. Van
Buren, directly and practically oppressed the la
borer. There was, also, a turnout Of the labor
ers employed on some Of the public works in this
city, two years ago, with view of inducing Mr..
Van Buren, to let them work ten hours instead
of IL and IA. Mr.. Van Buren, referred them to
the Secretary Of the Treasury--the Secretary Of
the Treasury deferred their hopes, and the result,
was that the federal authorities employed negroes
instead of white people and worked them from
sun to sun. There was also, we believe, petit
ton from the laborers at Gosport, and perhaps
from other yards and public works, which met the
same treatment from Mr.. Van Buren,. This hy-
pocrsy, therefore, this subject is characteristic
of party, who carry their faces before and be.
hind them, and turn their backs upon themselves
or the people with equal facility.

Wheel about aud turn abo,an-The New
Orleans Bulletin Of the 18th, says that warm
discussion is going on between various writers
in the government paper at Havana, as to the
expediency of adopting the banking system in
Cuba. The writers in favor of the proposition,
refer to the example Of England and the United
States and insist that the hard money system
IS unworthy of community so enlightened and
enterprising as that Of Cuba is getting to be.
The N. ". Express, commenting on this,
says, "Aas for the Globe; if paper money
should be introduced into Cuba, where will it
look for model Of perfect government An
ambassador extraordinary should be despatched
10 demonstrate against the adoption Of so ha-
zaTdous an experiment.

FEDERAL LOCo-FOCO FRAUDS.

During the late election in Connecticut the
Federal Loco-focos were detected in the base
and fraudulent practice of stopping Democratic
Republican documents, tearing out their contents,
and inclosing in the same envelope, the docu-
ments Of their own!
This, we understand. is carried on in an infa-
nous manner in Virginia. We are informed
that the Federal Locofocos have sent obscene
pictures into that State, under the forged franks
Of Democratic Republican members Of Con
gress. We hope the parties will be exposed
and punished,
