Baseball with Respect to Color.

That mild, gentle, tender and pleasant lit
tie national game, Base Ball, has recently
held a convention at Pniladelphia-or some
where else-and has saved itself and the ma
ton from the disgrace and shame which
would have happened to it if its members
had not been made of the sternest kind of
Americanism, in fact, that kind of national
honor and political purity, which has made
one Andrew johnson distinguished above all
his predecessors in the presidential office.
Last summer we had occasion to notice that
a celebrated champion club of artists in this
sweet pastimc, while exhibiting their accom-
plishments as 'pitchers y and 90 batters =
and 90 short-stoppers in the city OF Wash
incton. made choice of that eminent patriot
Andrew johnson. to be a member of the
club: and the Andrew johnson aforesaid, on
being informed of his election, replied in his
usual felicitous and effective manner, that he
received the information as another evidence
that the people approved of his course, and
that he should be happy to play any 90 base
in that or any other great national game
This interchange of courtesies between these
e-balIers-or, as Weston is called a " walk
st, perhaps we should write base-ballists-
md Mr., johnson. demonstrated, we were
Inclined to interpret the action, that the
gentlemen who were giving their attention
% this mild diversion were in favor of equal
lights, and We're no respecters of persons -
or it didn' t occur to us that association
,ould after that reasonably object to any hui
nan being. But the recent convention has
AIKEN very high ground, we learn through
he public prints, and while not reversing
he action which admitted Mr.. johnson. has |
ecided that. as this is government of and !
or white men exclusively. SO baseball is a
.ame of and for white men and no others.

g Poor whites - can come in-the action in
the President's case settled that point, but
the children of Ham are not to be allowed to
belong to this valuable organization, SO char
acteristically American. g Cursed be Ca
mann Neither in the d" field nor on the
90 bases,'' nor 90 pitcher" nor g catcher,
nor d" batter. nor yet as s. short stop can
anybody but white man be recognized.
So Baseball sends greeting to Connecticut
and Ohio, and Minnesota and Kansas. The
ballot is to be kept pure from any faint of
color also Baseball Nasty and Deacon
Pogram should congratulate each other, and
the cross roads be once more illuminated.

WlliSkPV,

/ The whiskey manufacturers and dealers
have Just held national convention at Wash
ington, to endeavor to & harmonic " their
views and the law, in respect to taxes on
whiskey. The result of their deliberations
and rotations is that the tax on whiskey be re-
duced to twenty-five cents gallon-it is now
two dollars-which they think they will try
and be honest enough to pay. Thinking, per-
haps, that an interest SO powerful, and, es-
pecially SO well able to pay for desirable leg
islation, wonld be expected to g do some
thing y for those members of Congress who
can not live in IA style corresponding to
their expensive tastes on $4,000 per year
and double mileage and ordinary ct ceferas,
this national convention subscribed on the
spot $500 900, as a fund to be distributed
by a iudcious executive committee among
those needy members of Congress who hon
eStlY think twenty-five cents a gallon is as
large tax as ought to be put upon bevcr
age so useful and celebrating as whiskey
1t is not stated whether free bar has been
established in Washington, or a private bar
rel sent to each member bibulously inclined,
but the dealers can be trusted undoubtedly
to manage that matter successfully. Whis-
key comes as near beng national beverage
Is any manufactured drink in the United
States, doubtless, although Thomas Hughes,
our English friend, when visiting the Paris
and trying the various American
liquids there exposed for sale, expressed
preference for iced soda with .. little some
hing in it-and who should Mt it hold its
rational conventions and inform Congress
now it ought to be taxed Great is whskcy

they may be allowed. perhaps, to recall the
- golden days Of the United States Senate
when such statesmen as Calhoun presided
over that body. Writing of that time
= Perley, in the Boston journal, SAYS
Had the critic been here while Mr.. Cal
houn presided over the Senate, he would
have"heard much more personal denunciation
than he can hear now. Mr.. Calhoun's pri-
vatc political grieis, and his great ambition,
prompted him to forget decorum and par
liamentarv rules while he was in the chair
of the Senate. whenever any measure relat-
ing in any matter to the Executive became
the subject OF debate. These personalities
went far that they caused duel on one
occasion, and led to several arrangements,
but Mr.. Calhoun never called Senator to
order. and preserved a perfect Indifference.
