BALTIMORE. Nov. 4.-The steamers Louisi-
ana fronl Norfolk, Va, and Falcon collided
in Chesapeake Bay. The following is the prin-
cipal part of the account given by Capt Mayo
OF the Louisiana. Left Norfolk at 1886, touched
at Old Point and proceeded up the bay. The
night was clear with a fresh breeze from the
north. retired at II p. M and everything
was quiet till LIS a. m. At this hour T was

der "hard a starboard," but in five seconds be-
fore this order could be executed, we were
struck amidships, the colliding steamer going
into our port paddle box and smashing large
hole in the port side from which the Louisiana
filled rapidly. Donkey engines were put to
work at full capacity but they had no effect
on the leaks; endeavored to work the main en-
CINE but found it had been SO damned it was
impossible to get it past the center. We were
thus rendered hopeless. called the crew to
quarters, cleared away boats and began lower
ing them to take off passengers. At this time
the Louisiana had between six and seven feet
water in the hold. hailed the colliding steam
er which proved to be the Falcon and requested
her to remain by us. The Falcon Immediately
came alongside and all the passengers and bag
gage were transferred to that steamer. A haw-
ser was then passed to the Falcon that she
might tow us to shoal water. went down to
examine the leak again, found the water gain
ing rypidly with eight to niue feet iu hold and
concluded we could not be towed more than
half mile before sinking. I endeavored then
to save as much as possible of the furniture of
the main saloon, which we did by working all
hands. Shortly after the hawser parted and
the Louisiana went down by the head in 112
feet water. AT the time of the collision the
Louisiana was steaming IA miles an hour and

The Louisiana was the favorite steamer of
the Bay line, of 1900 tons burden, and valued at
$780, with no insurance. The cargo which
was lost consisted of 200 bales cotton, large
quantity of tobacco, 80 tons pig iron and other
freight The Falcon with the passengers of the

The Effects of Dosinx.

Many persons who are wanting in natural vigor,
endeavor to supply the deficiency by constantly dos

naturel, which they credulous enough to mistake
for invigorants. There can be no doubt that many

sons require is pure vegetable tonic which, like Hos
letters Stomach Bters aso possesses the Regulating
properties necessary to recty those organic disturb
ances which are but the result Of weakness. The

throughout the state during the current CAM
paign have been notorious to all men, Mr..
Blaine to the contrary Notwithstanding, have
their hands upon the throat of the organiza-
ton in this state and will choke the life out
OF it unless they are torn away. They can
not be directly reached as they derive their
Importance from federal appointments Sc
cured to them by Mr.. Hamlin. The only
way to destroy these parasites is to cut down
the tree which sustains them. If this objec-
tionable system of things be not corrected the
disgust and dissatisfaction, which are abun-
dainty manifest in all parts of the state, will
seek other and radical remedies. 1t requires
no prophetic ken to perceive that if Hannibal
Hamlin be returned to the United States
Senate, there is likely to be in this state the
same overturn which has visited Massa-
chusetts and New York, and Maine will prob
ably, in 1875, fail for the first time to lead
the Republican column.
What shall we do then? Is not the body
more than raiment? Shall we always be
"taking care of friends and never of the
country? If Mr.. Hamln would deserve well
of the party which has honored him to an
exceptional extent, he would announce to
those friends whom he is about to take care
Of at the expense Of his party and country,
that his party and country are first to be
saved. But it is difficult for poor humanity
to comprehend that the welfare of the whole
may be incompatible with the welfare of
ones self, and such action on Mr.. Hamlin's
part can hardly be anticipated. The task de-
wolves upon the legislators, from whom the
state expects thoughtful, intelligent and in
dependent action despite the loud-mouthed
claim of Mr.. Hamlin's retainers that they
have ''got'-whatever that may mean-a
large majority of the members elect. The
election ola Senator is task to be entered
upon conscientiously and with purpose to
subordinate personal interests, friendships
and prejudices to the intere st of the whole
party. Thus, and only thus, may we avert
the threatening disaster.

BUNKER HILL CENTENNIAL.-The Boston
A dvertiser congratulates the Committee of the
Bunker Hill Monument Asso citation on being
being so fortunate as to secure Judge Devens
to deliver thei Grafton on the occasion of the
centennial anniversary of the battle of Bunker
Hill. Judge Devens' ancestors took an active
part in resisting the British at the time of the
revolution. As an orator he will be abundant
ly able to give the true expression to the emo
tions of the national heart, which will beat re-
sponsive to his eloquent utterances on that au-
gust occasion. Having taken conspicuous
part in the defence of the ration in its hour of

thorty of the value of that independence of
which the battle of Bunker Hill was the sure

THE White LeaguerS of the South since the

THE nature of the Democratic victory in
New York may be appreciated from the fact
that the Republican vote was 1884 less
than in 1872, and the Democratic and Liberal
vote was $4,000 less than at that time. In
other words, the Republicans who did not
vote November Sd, exceed in number that of
Tilden's majority by 1858. 1t is victory
of the disguised, dissatisfied and Indifferent
stay-at-homes. If wise, useful lesson may
be learned from these figures. It may be also
added that the so-called temperance candi-
date didn't get much over ten thousand

NEW YORK, Nov. 14-President Jewett of
the Erie road is reported as having said there
was no doubt that the Grand Trunk would
soon agree to act in harmony with the roads
which entered into tho Saratoga contract and
that Mr.. Potter, President of the Grand
Trunk, with whom he had been travelling last
week, remarked that he thought the matter
would soon be arranged. The difficulty was
the Grand Trunk having longer route than
by the way of the Boston & Albany railroad,
objected to accepting the same rate for Boston
traffic, declaring it was necessary for the Grand
Trunk line to hold out special inducements for
Boston traffic in order to secure any at all.
At the conference in Montreal a few days
ago, the officials of the lines interested came
very near agreeing upon an arrangement, the
difference relating only to small fraction.
representatives of the Grand Trunk, Boston
& Albany and the Vermont Central railroads
will hold conference in this city, probably on
Monday. and it is expected that satisfactory
agreement will be reached. The combined
trunk lines have taken no action toward bring
