FATAL RESULT OF AN AFFRAY.-On Sunday.
November g. an affray took place on Nicetown
lane, near the new turnpike, in which several
men were engaged. One of them, named Frank
O'Neill, was stabbed in seven places about the
body, and was taken to the Pennsylvania Hos
pital in very prostrated condition. He died
from the effects OF his wounds last evening.
Soon after the afray Patrick McVey and James
Kane we're arrested on the charge of aiding in
the assault, and were committed to prison to
await the result of O'Nell's injuries As the ply
sician at the Hospital refused at all times to
give a certificate that he was out of danger, they
are undoubtedly in custody yer.

on the 10th instant:-
RfsoIoed, That the skating park at the south

pants of said park be directed to close the drain
from their premises into the cellars of said

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF BASE BALL PLAYERS.
AT 1850 O'Clock last night the delegates to the
National Baseball Convention assembled in
Athletic Hall, on Thirteenth street, above Jeffer
son. The President was in the chair.
motion limiting the remarks OF the members
10 10 minutes was adopted.
Mr.. Curtis, of the Mutual Club, Judge elect to
the Marine Court Of New York. was the 6rst
speaker, and directed his remarks to the decision
OF the Judiciary COMMITTEE 10 the case OF the
Unions of Morrisiana versus Mutuals of New
York, which declared all games between them
as null and void. He stated that according to
the provision in the rules of the Association, no
charges could be rendered against any club or
member OF the Association by another club or
member, unless they be returned to the Secre-
tary OF the Association within thirty days from
the occurrence complained of. He warmly re-
piled TO the accusations made against the
Mutual Club by member OF the Union Club,
and maintained that the complaints arose from
a deep-rooted animosity against the Mutual
organization.
MIR. Blbro, Of the Unions OF Morrsiaua, said
that the charges made were endorsed by the
club which he represented. The charges arose
from an alleged unfair action OF the Mutuals in
tie rubber game with the Onions on December
%, which was won by the former.
William II. Herring ESQ, OF the UDion Club,
replied at length in standardization of the pro.
ceedings of the Union Club, and in his remarks
SAID that the chang Oonship OF any club for q
series OF years would eventually prove curse
to 1T.
A member from the West, citing the section
of the rules which declared that any club re-
tanning person guilty of reprehensible conduct
forfeited its membership IN the Association,
thought that the Mutuals should be expelled.
Another member, from the West too, cited the
same section, and tacetously, yet earnestly, de-
claTed that the Unions should be expelled.
Toe previous question, on reversing the deci-
sion OF the Judiciary Committee, was called up.
A vote was taken upon it, and resulted in an
almost unanimous expression for reversing the
decision.
The next business in order was the considera-
tion of the new code of rules reported to the
Convention. These have been greatly simpli6ed
by classification, there being now but seven
rules. Technical points, which in match games
were productive of much controversy and i'll
feeling, have been made plain. Pending their
discussion, the Convention adjourned.

time discharging its duties. Mr.. GAR
NETT gave some account of Mr.. Sutton, and
paid him a compliment for his services
during the war and his fitness for the du-
ties of the office. He produced letters OF
prominent gentlemen testifying to the ca
pacity Of Mr.. Sutton, and also as to his
services In the field.
Mr.. WHITE nominated W. P. .Kellam, of
Henrico, for the office, reciting his services
during the war, and eulogizing his personal
worth and capabilities for the duties Of the
Register of the Land Office, in which de-
partment he had been second clerk for
some time.
Mr.. CRUMP nominated for the office
Colonel Stafford ii. Parker, who had filled
the office from 1899 to the period when the
restored Governmentmade its appearance.
He had the imprimatur and sanction Of
every Legislature of Virginia from that
day to 1865. Had there been no Interrupt
tion to the State government Colonel Par
ker's term of Office would not have termi-
mated until the lst of the present month.
Mr.. CRUMP paid brief tribute to the per-
sonal worth of Colonel Parker.
Mr.. HERNDON seconded the nomination
of Mr.. Kellam.
Mr.. LANGHoRNE sustained the claims
Of Mr.. Parker. Pistol courage and all
that sort of thing was all very we'll but
he admired the courage Of the venerable
Mr.. Parker that made him prefer to leave
his office rather than take the abominable
"oath."
After considerable time spent in the
discussion of claims Of the nominees in
the Senate, the vote was taken and re-
suited: Whole vote, ia; necessary to a
choice, So; Sutton, 81; Kellam, At; Par
ker, Is.
The two Houses proceeded to a second
ballot, dropping the lowest candidate,
which resulted: Whole vote, 1l6; ne
cessary to choice, SO. Sutton, 6S; Kel-
lam, 4S. So Hawes R. Sutton was de-
clared duly elected Register of the Land
office. ....
On motion of Mr.. RAGsDALE, the House
adjourned.

debate on the limits were very serious In
his case, but one Of them relates chiefly 70
Q matter the reporter had but poor &C.
quaintance with, viz wheat. The highest
practical knowledge he has is that he once
sowed thirty bushels and reaped eleven,

CANT falling of, any extreme in the opposite
direction. But he took no notes, wrete
from memory, and the order in the hall ct

INTERESTING DECIsION.-In the Hastings
Court on yesterday Judge Lyons rendered
decision in the case Of Osborne Us. Eacho,
which was submitted at the last October
term.
The plaintiff, John J. Osborne, resides In
New Haven, Conn.,, and the defendant is
well-known general agent and collector OF
this city.
Osborne had employed Eacho to rent out
and collect the rents Of several houses in
this city owned by the plaintiff. Eacho
continued to act in this capacity after the
commencement of the late war, and con-
tinued so to act until Osborne's property
was sequestrated by the Confederate Go
vernment.
The suit was brought to recover from
Eacho rents collected by him ut various
times from January, 1861, to July, 1864.
His Honor decided that state of war
between two de facto governments put an
end to the agency which had existed prior
to the breaking out of hostilities, and that
therefore any rents collected by Eacho
after that time were collected in his own
money, and that the plaintiff was entitled
to recover them in an action Of assumpsit; !;
Notwithstanding the defendant in the year
1864 had paid the amount received from
the rents to the public receiver of the
Confederate Government. The payment
to the said receiver being voluntary, and
not compulsory, was not discharge to the
defendant.
The Confederate money was commuted
at its value in the present currency, and
judgment accordingly rendered for the
plaintiff.
Cannon & Courtney for plaintiffs, Nance
Williams for defendants.

SUPREME Court OF APPEALs.-In this
court yesterday the following cases were
disposed of:
Timothy ONeale rs. the Commonwealth,
upon an appeal for 4 writ of error to q
Judgment rendered by the Circuit Court of
Rockbridge, whereby the plaintiff was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for two years
and six months for bigamy. 1t appeared
from the transcript of the record that
O'Neale made the appeal upon the ground
that no witness, nor record, nor certificate
had been produced to show that he had
ever been married to the woman-Mary
Sheridan-thc only testimony being his
admission that he had cohabited and had
children by her. The court affirmed the
Judgment Of the lower court, which was to
the effect that cohabitation and confession
was sufficient ground for charge of
bigamy without apparent record or mar
riage certificate.
In the case of George Vaughan Us. the
Commonwealth, upon an appeal for writ
of error to judgment rendered by the
Circuit Court of Rockbridge county on the
25th of September, 1866, whereby the
plaintiff was sentenced to the pcnitentiary
for two years on an indictment for house.
breaking and larceny, the court reversed
the Judgment, and ordered that the ver-
dict of the jury be set aside, and the cause
be remanded for a pew trial.
The cases of McCray Us. Anderson,
Roberts Us. Garland, and Alexander Us.
Smyth, were dismissed.
In the cases of Clarkson Us. Booth, and
Foster Us. Rison, the arguments were con-
cluded, and the decisions reserved.

HALL RoBBERIEs.-A correspondent in
the city is in great trouble about the loss
Of his fourth cloak-not this winter, but
during the last four winters. His luck is
bad indeed. An overcoat is dear friend !;
a protector from the chill blasts of winter,
and a constant associate whose company is
most agreeable. To lose this friend, to
have the tender ties and alfectionate rela-
tions between the owner and it severed by
the ruthless robber, is pitious and painful
event. The sentimental feelings ofthe occa-
sion were fully INDUCED in by the loser in
this case and, in the desperation of his
crushed and outraged sensibilities, mental
and physical, he begs us to warn every
body not to leave their cloaks in halls
neither their hats nor anything that is
theirs. "This is the only sure way now"
he, "for the good old days Of etiquette
and honesty have passed away, and all
things have become horribly new."
Our unfortunate correspondent gives
another bit of information that will still
further excite the public sympathy and
add force to the warning. The morning
after his loss he had to pay out his last
dollar for new cloak.

A MUNIFIcENT GIFT.-At the Richmond
Musical Exchange our citizens may see q
beautiful piano, the gift of Charles NJ.
Stieff, of Baltimore, to the Hollywood Me-
mortal Bazaar, which arrived por express
yesterday.
1t is one Of the finest instruments ever
turned out by the celebrated manufacturer,
and adds another to his many acts of
generosity and kindly consideration for the
suffering of the South. We cannot too
highly commend this well-timed charity.
At the same time there also arrived five
pianos from the same house, for the use OF
the performers at the grand concert for the
benefit of the st. Joseph Orphan Asylum.
