Perhaps nothing | can write from
this busy Babel will be more accepta-
bic to your readers than glimpscs of the
street scenes, which strike the eye of
the observer at every turn. Entering
Broadway at the Park, which is the
focal point for large number OF street
railroads and stage lines, the novice
from the sandy avenues of your quiet
city is completely stunned by the con-
fused iargon of sounds and scenes that
greet eye and ear. Cars sweeping
along the various tracks, and omnibuses
plying up and down Broadway-on
whose sacred soil the cars have not yet
been allowed to intrude-carts, car
riages, and vehicles of every description
crowding the streets, and often coming
to a dead lock, three or four abreast ;
motley throngs Of pedestrians sweeping
in great surges up and down the walks
some picking their way across the
street avoiding here the Scylla of rafting
cars, and there the Charybdls Of rattling
wagons all hurrYing on-on-the
Lord knows where. Let us survey this
moving mass for moment from the
bridge, which crosses Broadway at the
foot Of the City Hall Park, just below
the conycrging point Of the great swarm
around us. Up and down Broadway
and up and down Fulton, toward Fulton
Ferry on the one hand, and Jersey
City on the other, and out through the
busy Bowery the great throngs pursue
their way; while the myriad devices
Of trade greet the eye at every turn

jewelry emporium invites the pasScr to

Tennessee.

was in Nashville on the day Of the
election, and visited in succession each
of the places where voting was going
on. The colorcd people had been
advised by their friends to vote as early
as possible, and at about nine O'Clock
they were out in full force. They were
dressed in their best clothes-dressed,
in fact, as well AS the white gentlemen
around them, but they evidently looked
upon the affair neither rs an idle pas
time nor holiday. 1t was with them
deeply significant and solemn occasion
when they were called upon to prove
their title to citizenship at the ballot
box, as they had before shown their
manhood ON the field of battle.
Forming in column with their certi6-
Gates and tickets in hand, they stretched
soIidly for some distance from the ballot
box into the street. Each new arrival,
as he came up, made no attempt to
precede or crowd those who arrived
earlier, but Quietly took his place in the
rear of the column, and patiently
awaited his turn. Some of them
remained thus for three hours, in the
burning sun, advancing inch by inch
toward the box, into which fell coutin-
ually their quie. but potent ballots.
There was no boisterousneSs among
them no loud talking; scarce a
whisper; each countenatfte looked
grave as death; it was, indeed, for
them solemn task; for they
were acting in defiance Of those who
had threatened them with prescription
and starvation in case they persevered
and all around them they saw the scowla
and frowns of those who had the power
at least for a time, to throw them out o.
employment, and deprive their wives
and children of bread But still these
solid columns, holding in their hands
what were at once the evidences Of theil
freedom and the instruments wherewitl
TO perpetuate it. moved slowly, deter
minedly, unitedly, and sublimely on

BASE RALI.

Most of our readers are aware that
there is now gong on, in Cincinnati,
a Base Ball Tournament. The "Hick.
DRY" Club, Of this place loft here on
Monday morning for Cincinnati - be-
ing entered for the first prize-a Silver
or Gold bal!-against the buckeye"
of Cincinnati. The game was played
on Tuesday last and resulted IN a most
complete victory for tho Hickories.
The Cincinnati Commercial, Of yester-
day, Ispeoks as follows:
The greatest event of the day was
the grand contest for the first prizc-
q gold ball, valued at S100--which was
contested for between the celebrated
Hickory Club of McConnelsville, Ohio,
and the Buckeye, of this city. Ibis
game commenced at 9 o'clock, and,
after playing eight innings the Hicko
ny Club were decidod the victors, the
score standing forty.onet to twenty-five.
During this game one of the members
ofthe Hickory Club, whose, name wo
did not learn, having been disabled, so
us to compel him to procure n substi-
tute Mr.. Brown, one oftho members
of the Club, consented to fill his place,
entered tho fold, the crowd cheering
Justify. Toward the close of the game
Mr.. SchicJymantlc, of the Buckeye,
disabled his hand, but not enough TO
compel him to stop playing. Tire
members Of the Hickory Club are the
most orderly set Of ball players that
have ever played IN this city, and have
gained many friends by their quiet,
u%nassuming manners. Each ono ofthc
members is fino player, and with
their excellent fielding and batting
did good service. According TO the
programme the winning club Of this
game was TO play with the celebrated
Cincinnati Club for II prize of n silver
tea set, and as the IIickUry's wcro the
victors Of yesterdays game, thoy will
have to play with tho Cincinnati boys
on the closing day Of tho tournament.
The buckeyes need no praise, for their
reputation is widely known. All We
eau say is that they havo done their
best, but were not powerful enough &c
get ahead oftheir opponents. In,their
new uniforms Of blue caps,swhito shirts
and blue pants they presented an eX-
%cellOnt Nppc; q co. THOR score We
also give in full, and By tho numbers Of
runs made by each club, it will be seer
that it was Il very exciting and mtor.

wendell Phillips on Chief Jus
tice Chase.

In speaking Of Chase's Presidential
ambition, Wendell Philips disposes of
his prospects as follows:
l believe myself that Mr.. Chase's
ambitionis satisfied. But it is idle to
speculate or any chances he (Chaso)
would have. lie has no support out
side osthe National Banks, and that is
an isolated influence. l think Jay
Cooke and the other financial kings
OF tho country are making desperate
efforts to bring him forward as a can
didate. But ono thing his friends
have lost for Chasc-that is, the sym
patby ofthc Radicals and Chase him
teli is too radical to win the sympathy
Of the Conservatives and SO between
the two stools he will fall &C. the ground.
| do not think these friends of his
arc able either TO have him dominated
or elected. Chase hiUsclf belongs to
the Radical section of the Republicans,
and it is nothing but tue Presidential
fevor that tempts his friends to retain
him IT possible in tho Conservative
section Of that party, in tho hope OF
CARING its support for their man
Chase docs not belong there. Ills
whole life in tho past would rather
rank hum with Sumner and Stevens
than with such men as Fosscndcn and
Sherman. Az | said before, these two
paftics-the Conservative and Radi.
cal sections OF the Republican party
Chase must come to the wall.
