CrscIsBATI, March 8.-Reports in re-
gard to the loss Of life by the recent
steamboat FIRE are very conflicting. The
most careful inquiry has failed to obtain
definite information that any one was
lost. Several persons report that others
were behind them when they escaped,
aud they watched in vain for their ap-
pearance by the only means Of egress
Others saw persons on the st. Charles
after escape was cut OF, and that they
must have persisted. The captains and
officers Of the different boats report that
20 far as their knowledge goes all con
nected with the boats are safe, and have
reported to-day, so that il any one va
lost it must have been stragglers who
slipped on the boats TO sleep, or else

Now from which of these Republican
States is Mr.. Greeley to obtain his 46 votes I?
Neither New York nor Pennsylvania alone
will furnish the requisite number, even if by
some miracle he should hold all the Demo-
cratic States. He must have both. But it
is difficult to conceive how he is to get either.
Dissatisfaction with some of the Republican
nominations may lose us Pennsylvania at the
State election in October, but as the same
causes will not be operative in November
Mr.. Greeley's friends can at best only consid-
er that State doubtful. And as for New
York, that is out of the question The ex-
posture of the corrupt rings that have so long
controlled the city gave the State to the Re-
publicans by substantial majority last fall.
Mr.. Greeley was at that time daily accused
by the Times, the newspaper that unearthed
the scoundrels who were undermining the
commonwealth, with lukewarmness in the
battle against Tammany. However that may
have been it is certain that the Tribune edi-
tor now has the hearty support of all the
members of that notorious organization, and
that he utterly refuses to engage any longer
in the attack on the Brooklyn ring which is
only little less formidable than Tammany
ITSELF Will the State that changed front on
account of the odium attaching to these
Democratic robbers, change back again be-
cause they have succeeded in making their
friend candidate for President of the United
States? Besides, it should not be forgotten
that Mr. Greeley and his friends withdrew
from the Republican State Convention of last
year, thus exerting all the personal influence
they had against the Republican party The
effect was certainly not disastrous then.
What has since occurred to add to its weight ?

"Mr Henry Wilson, who won the doubtful
honor of a nomination, is well known to the
country, having served in the Senate for seven
teen consecutive years. However we may diff
fer with his politics, he has always been re-
garded as an upright man, whose rise from the
humblest walks in life to the proud position
which he now occupies is a token of personal
merit and credit to the institutions under
which such opportunity exist. Mr.. Wilson has
been laboriOus, earnest and effective worker
for his party; and while be may be described as
strict partisan, obedient to and exacting in a
radical discipline, he has often manifested a
liberal spirit in policy, and where personal
questions only were involved, large-hearted
disposition, which has won him troops of friends
and grateful recognition. g.a, ' 81
