ST. LOUIS, April 4-The rebels and conserva-
tives made pretty clean sweep here yesterday,
electing their railroad commissioner and city re-
corder by 5000 majority, eight out of ten aldermen
and fifteen out Of twenty delegates. They sur
prsed even themselves, and are intensely iubilant
over their victory. Hundreds of men voted who
have not visited the polls before during the war,
on account of their rebelious procvites, and took
the oath without a scruple or compunction, and
other hundreds Of Irish, who took out British pro-
lection papers to exempt them from military SER
vice, shonted Justify for Andy Johnson and the
Democratic party, and voted in defiance Of the
State Constitution. This condition of things, how.
ever, will be changed at our next fall election,
when the registration law will be in effect which
excludes all rebels and British protectionists from
the polls In additionto this, there was a great
division among the radicals on the Sunday law
question, which kept hundreds of them away from
the polls. -, ......-...-..,,r-

"A great ocean Steamship race will, it is ex.
pected, come off during next month. ~, As our
readers are probably aware, there are two large
rival foreign steamship Companies, the North Ger
man Loyds, running between Bremen and New
York, via Southampton, and the Hamburg and
American, running between Hamburg and New
York, VIA southampton. Their steamers are built
IN this country, but manned by Germans. They
carry hundreds of well-to-do Germans to America
every week. and their ships are so large, swift and
that they have become fayorites
with English and American passengers. In con-
sequence Of the rivalry existing between the two
companies, and the disputes as to the respective
merits of the two fleets, it has been resolved to
Test the speed of two Of their finest ships, the
Hamburg company's Allemania and the Bremen
Hermann. Both of these are new and
monster steamers, of enormous strength, and they
make the Atlantic passage inabout nine or ten
lays They will start from Southampton for New
York together.
Both slips have been backed to heavy amounts
already, and the race will be an exciting and re-
mar kable one. , IAN, ,=-I f0,. fire.. .,-7 gs5 ssu
