St. Louis Steamboat statistics.

The local steamboats, inspectors of st. Louis
have made their third annual report. The In

its
The tonnage of st. Louis figures up nearly
Sc, 600 tons, and the number Of boats inspec-
ted during the year is ninety one. sas
The number of passengers carried for the
year ending Sept. Both, was greatly in excess
of any previous year, the difference over the
year ending Sept. Both, 1854, reached the enor-
nous aggregate of544, 344! The total for the
year was upwards ofone million and forty-six
thousand, and ofall these, by accidents to BE
imputed to the craft, sinking and burning of
boats, escape of steam and sparbreakin while
aground-the deaths were only twentY-eight.
This is an unusually small per centage
That not single death occurred from ex-
plosion during the year is remarkable and
most gratifying fact; and shows that either by
better machinery or more carefnlness of engi-
neers and officers, or doubtless both combined.
great change for the better, in this respect, is
taking place. The lives lost by boats burning
were thirteen, being forty-two less than in the
the previous year. The total loss of life SHOWS
a reduction of sIxTY-CNE, although upwards of
half a million of people were carried more than
in the preyiour year. ye e 2 ssa9
The number of boilers repaired was fifty
two. ~.sr, ;.
The loss of property, however, by snagginsg
andssinking was so great during the. year as
to be entitled to serious attention. The in
spectors estimate it at over two millions. This
great sacrifice was owing to. causes. against
which no care experience, or prudence can at
all times guard; and the board very. properly
reason from it to some practicable plan of i'm

The suggestion that the removal of obstruc-
tons to navigation should be let out at a given

The citizens of Vincennes viii have the
pleasure of hearing speech to-day from one
of the most arrant demagogues in the country,
although man Of admitted talent-Senator
Douglas. For years he has had his eyes on
the Presidency, and his name has more than
Conventions to secure the nomination for that
office. As last and grand stroke of policy,
and as high bid for the Southern vote, Doug
las consummated the Nebraska iniquity, by
which he made volunteer offer of surrender
to the South Of territory forever and by
solemn compact declared free territory, to the
encroachments of slavery. The South had
never demanded this surrender, and the North
had never expressed any disposition to make
it. The iniquitous proposal had never in truth
received the attention of any section Of the
country, and no one doubts but that if it had
been submitted to vote Of the people, il
would have been crushed at its very inception
by an overwhelming vote. But Douglas
knew, that by getting the administrations ap-
prevail and assistance, he had enough Northern
doughfaces by the nose to carry the measure
through with the aid of Southern votes. He
did get that aid, and although many Demo
cratic Congressman Indignantly refused t
vote for the bill, and every Wing in Con
gress did the same, yet there were enough
Northern doughaces and traitors to make thi:
greatest doughface and traitor of them all, sue
cessful in his project.
The elections held in the Northern States
Immediately afterward, gave bitter rebuke
to the arch traitor and his followers. Doug
las stroke Of policy may have gained him pop
ularity in the South, and that we much doubt
but it has lost him the North. To recover hi
lost ground, and to keep himself still befor'
his party as an ardent Democrat, he is nov
stumping it wherever he can receive an invita-
ton to speak His eye is on the Presidency
but he is further to-day in hopeless prospect
from that position, than he was ten years age

him stay in his own State. Last year Indian
rebuked his treason He was the means 0
the total route of his party in this State
They had held the power for years and years
until Douglas struck them to the heart, an
then they were beaten by $4,000 majority
and those doughface Congressman, from In
diana, with two exceptions, who had vote
with Douglas for the Nebraska iniquity, wer
face n0l0 to stand up before the people o. II II
diana, is surprisingly wonderfuI-to all VIII
do not know the man.

Old Lineism Dead and Buried in Ohio!

The Old Line Democracy had looked to
Ohio for great triumph, at least so far as the
election of their Governor was concerned
They had hoped to profit by the division in the
American party, and by the consequent third
candidate presented to the people for their
support But they have experienced. a terri
BILE disappointment. The people had not yet
forgotten the rotten corruption exhibited by
that party while. in power. They had not
forgotten. their over burdening taxes, and mis-
cradle currency, the direct results of that cor
ruption and bad legislation. They once more
gave that party an emphatic rebuke, and one
that "the party" will feel from one end of the
Union to the other. We have no disposition
to exult in the election Of Chase for Governor,
so far as himself is concerned, but we do exult
in the thought that Gov Medill has obtained
the permission of the people to retire into pri-
vate life, and that all the Republican State
Ticket has been elected; and that the people
of Ohio have exhibited a lasting determination
to dispense with the services of the Old Line

Have you Heard from California.

The American party in California have done
nobly. They have routed the enemy in their
trongholds-defeated them on all sides. In
the cities and in the mountain Businesses, they
are now shouting over tremendous victories.
Ever since the Golden State has been a State
she has suffered under the rule of Locofccoism.
Her leading officers, and as corrupt set of
politicians as ever sought and obtained power
have all been of that party. Their legislation
has been grand system of corruption But
the people have at last taken the matter in
their own hands, and in defiance of all the
Government and State power and corruption
of office, welded to defeat their wishes, have
placed Governor of their own over the State,
and elected an assembly Of Anaericans The
Old Liners had all the foreign vote, and it is
large, and they spared no money nor official
influence, nor SANDER, nor abuse nor deceit,
to gain victory-but in vain The eyes of
the country have been turned to that far dis
tant State. The Democracy had looked there
for victory, asst was one of their great strong
holds. But the news has come. California is
redeemed.
We are gratifed that in this victory, we are
permitted to congratulate a native born citi-
zen of Evansville on attaining the highest
Office in the gift of the people of California
Seven years ago he left this city poor young
lawyer, with nothing to depend upon but his
own ability and energy and industry for sue
cess. He united his fortunes with those of a
new and then almost unknown region. He
has grown with her growth, and prospered
with her prosperity. Placed in situations of
important trusts, he has proved himself in
every station worthy of the confidence Of his
feIlow-citizens. Placed by the votes of the
people in this, the highest position in their
bestowal, we are sure he will merit the honor
by the ability and faithfulness with which he
will discharge the duties of his Office. sArers
