THE vile and venal New York Times heads
its report of the star-rOutc trial yesterday
"Proving Dorsey's Guilt" Now, if the
mercenary scribblers for that vile and
venal paper have sense enough to know
what constitutes proof" they know that
headline was deliberate lie. But the
penny. y.a-liners Of the aforesaid vile and
venal have become so accustomed to lying,
presumably upon order, that this lie is not
singular, and scarcely worthy of notice.
BY the way, the animus of tho Times
against Dorsey is the fact that Dorsey in
1850 did not think it worth while to circu-
late the disreputable sheet at the expense of
the treasury of the Republican National
Committee.
The viler and more venal New York
Herald, whose owner ought TO be kicked
down anybody's stairs, goes off at a furious
rate about Boone's testimony in the Star
Route case before it knows what that tes-
timony really is When Mr.. Boone gets
through it will be time enough for it to
make its mercenary comments. In the
meantime its Anticipated editors, tele.
graphic and otherwise, would do well to

After THE CRTlc went to prcss yester-
day the trial of the Star Route case coutin-
ued, Colonel Ingersoll conducting the cross
examination of A. +. Boone, who testified
that he prepared the circulars and propo-
sails, and neither was done with the iuten-
tion of defrauding the Government. The
issuing of circulars was for the purpose of
obtaining information of the routes ovor
which the mail was carried. The blanks
were printed and Kept secret so as not TO
let other bidders know what they were
doing. The witness did not send out any OF
the proposals with the name of the bidder
in blank for the purpose of defrauding the
Government
"Well leave that now anu come to Dor

"Wcll maybe you do, but we can dis

approval, answered Colonel Ingersoll.
"The Court will be glad to dispense with
approval of that kind, said Judge Wylic.
i will not do it again If can think of
it, " said Colonel Ingcrsoll, and continued
with the examination,
The witness said that Senator Dorsey
never did tell him, in printing forms or
circulars or filling them up and sending
them out, to so arrange them that an ad-

THE House yesterday gave itself up to
discussion of the Tarilfbill, and the event
of the day was the speech of Mr.. Tucker.
The "viciously unjust" legislation of the
bill was mercilessly dissected and exposed,
and in general way the lallaeies of the
protective theories concerning the plice of
labor and benefits to laboring men, Mr..
Mills came into the discussion fully
equipped, and dealt some hard blows. His
assertion that there was no difference be-
tween the principle of the bill and comun-
ism-that both meant the taking away of
the property ofone citizen in order to be-
stow it upon another-was terse way of
putting the whole question. Mr.. Kasson

WHY does the House permit Mr.. Mills
resolution concerning the Attorney Gen
erals office to be smothered in committee
Not to investigate the Attorney General
and his office, and show up tho wanton
waste of money and abuse of power, will
reflect little credit upon Congress. The
time was when Cabinet officers would have
been presented for impeachment for doing
the twentieth part OF the things done by

BAIRD'S BROTHER.
He Comes to Sedalia and MyS-
teriously Disappears.
Where is He? Is the Anxious
Inquiry of His Stricken
Family.
His Brothers FruitleSs Search for
Him in this City Yes
terday.

YESTERDAY there arrived in the city from
Lincoln, Benton county, by the narrow
gauge road rather spare build, dark COM
pIected young man Of some twenty-five
wears of age named Frank L. Baird, a
school teacher by profession, ard at present
engaged al the school In Lincoln.
Mr.. Baird's mission WIS to obtain, ii pos
sible. some clue to his brother. Mr.. VIM. B.
Baird, also a pedagogue, who has been
missing since Sept 18th last. But all the in
formation which he could gain was that his
brother had come to SedaIia on the 18th OF
September on his way home to Hamburg,
ST. Charles county, from Golden City, Bar
ton county, AT which latter place he had
inst completed term of school teaching.
from the depot Baird went TO the Pacific
house. and after supper left, Ostensibly to
resume his homewari journey, and there
all trace of him suddenly ceases.
To a BAZoO reporter MIR. i. ;. Baird
said: "My brother is young man, twenty
six years OF age. low and compac;ly built,
weighing about 40 pounds, and otherwise
closely resembles mysslf. He has
brown hair ard eyes and small
mustache. He resided at Hamburg, 81.
Charles county where he has young wife
and two children. His home relations
have always been Of the warmest, most al
fectionate and happy kind and he was
always moral, sober and Industrious, and
no cause whatever can be asst gned for his
strange disappearance except the theory
of foul play. AT the time he was in Sc
dalia he had some little money with him
the proceeds of his salary rs teacher al
Golden City, where he had just completed
his engagement, did not know OF his disap
pearance until two weeks ago when l recciv'
ed letter of inquiry concerning him iron
INV sister in-law, and since then my
| injuries have enabled me To learn Onl!
what have stated 20 you. shall return
home this evening and await another let
! ter from his wife and answers TO one or i've
| letters vi inquiry have written, and If
! fail TO near of him | shall throw up m,
school and GO in search OF him. Our en-
tire family are full of anxiety concern
ing his fate and willing to pay any reason
able sum for information as 70 his where
abouts, If alive.
! The reporter called upon Mr.. Rose, pro
prieter Of the Pacific house, who said IN
! had no recollection of Mr.. Baird, and al
examination of the register failed TO re
veal his name among those OF the guests
The only clue to his having been there is
therefore. a letter written by him to hi
brother Frank, SAYING he was there on IN
way home. The matter has been placed il
the hands of detectives and il is hoped
solution of the mystery will soon be Ob
tanned.
His brother, while in the city, also visit
| ed the coroner and the county clerks office
to ascertain if an inquest had been held o.
any person answering TO his description
but found none.
