The following from the St. Louis RepuL
iican confirms the repor. received here sew.
eral days ago that the Baird had sunk in
the Missouri river. Sh. had large load
Of goods for misplace, principally for Messrs
SAwYERs L Co., A. GRoSIsGER and I. j.
KISKAID. These gentlemen We are told
had theirgoods insured 10 their full value,
but they will suffer large losses by the
accident BY being deprived Of the spring
trade:
The WV. BAIRD A TOTAL Loss.-The
officers of steamer Kate Howard, which
boat arrived from the Missouri river on
Thursday night, report that the Vim. Baird
lately sunk near Waverly, will prove q to.
tal loss. Her hog-chains are all broken
and the boat is fast going to pieces. We
have very few particulars regarding this
disaster. 1t seems that the Baird had
broken her tiller rope, and had landed to
have it repaired. She started out, and
again the rope parted. She became un-
manageable BY the rudder, and swung
against bar with such force, it is suppos.
ed, - to spring her butts. and rested on
theS bar. 1t was soon discovered that she
was leaking. In short time her hold FL.
led with water, and the boat began to ca
reen. Her passengers and some stock
were landed on the bar, aud the passen
gers eventually reached shore by the yawl,
with such Of their effects as they could
save from the wreck. The RowenA, which
wss the FIRST boat that passed, bound up
took portion Of the Baird's passengers,
Of whom Their we're about one hundred in
al. A large portion Of The freight belong.
Cd to the passengers on board.
When the Kate Howard passed down
the boat had sunk TO her hurricane deck
on one side. and was rapidly settling down.
The VIM. Baird left Cincinnati on the 9th
inst, bound for Sioux City, with large
and valuable cargo, including consider.
able quantity Of lumber. She was . stern.
wheel boat, built at Pittsburg four years
ago, and owned BY Cas-. II. DoLsoN, Of
New Orleans. Shs WAS ct one time 10
possession Of the Government, and WAS tra.
dsd for the y. Il. Morton, which steamer
Has lately burned in Arkansas rivor.-
She WAS worth, probably, 10000, and
there Was no insurance on the boat. Her
freight list WAS insured in Cincinnati for
$4,000. The cargo was also insured in
Cincinnati. So far ~ we could learn, no
lives we're lost BY this accident.

They now need eight more to give .
majority. Should Minnesota send two re.
publicans, they would still want six to
make majority, with all the free State
elections over, excepting Oregon and Cal.
ifornia, where, Of course, they can gain
nothing. In no contingency, therefore,
can the Republican party organize the next
House.
In the States Of Arkansas, Florida, Del
aware, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pen.
nyslvania, South Carolina, and Wisconsin
the Democrats have elected already to the
mex. House 4s members in the States of
Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Maryland, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vir-
GINA, and California, the Democracy rep
resented in the late Congress sixty.thres
districts, and will most certainly retain
their control in all Of them, excepting pos.
sibIe Minnesota, in which event they will
secure Sc, making in all III members,
lacking, according to this estimate, eight
of majority-being the same number
the Republicans want.
In the States of Maryland, North Caro-
lima, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee, the South Americans repre-
scented in the late Congress thirteen dis
tricts some Of those districts will be re-
claimed by the Democrats, doubtless
enough to give them a majority.

seemed to be carried on with a dispatch
quite unknown to our upper" tribunals.
Presently one Of the constables calls out

walking up to the bar.
Rhadamanthus was seated with a grea.
