installment by way II redceming that promise
Youknow it was maliciously rumored about
Toledo that The people there had Base Ball
on the brain I never believed word Of it
but still, said rumor having been aAoat will
give me a chance to say something OF the
match game at this place on the 4th between
the Hawkeye club of Dewitt and the Mystic
Of Clinton. The morning was beautiful and
fair, the grounds were in aice TRIM and the
boys who do the nut, candy, and lemonade
business were II in good health. Seats were
provided for the spectators, and the game was
witnessed by nearly a thousand. The clubs
came on the grounds. accompanied by Brass
Band, precisely at 8 a. n., and .ball in play
was called about half hour later, the Mys-
ties going TO the bat. AT the end Of each ..in-
nings" the mines rested the band played and
You got your ice cold Lemonade, your smoke
and cigars, and other like useful facts sswor-
thy to be ira nsmltted to posterity." On ac
count OF the heat it was agre ID that only one
game of nine innings should be played. This
terminated at few minutes past eleven by a
score Of y for the Hawkeye and s for the
Mystics. Preceded by the band, the clubs
returned to dinner, and in the evening united
in sort Of tripping of the light fantastic
that night than in the hall OF the clubs. In
Union Hall 'LAe lamps shone Ger" some two
score pretty waterfalls that wagged up and
down, somewhat Ia lambs TAIL in a sort Of
sntomatic effort 10 keep time to the music
drawn out OF very dubious old fiddle, by a
young fantastic who sat crossleggel on tall
tripod, aud who carried forward at each re.
pealed draw OF the bow, an infinite series of
incontroyertiole arguments that his musical
cduca s4oA had involved q greater consumption

and goods in the store rooms below to 81. 800.
So the seekers OF pleasure escaped, by the
luatter Of Two or three hours from ending the
ball under the auspices Of an older and more
accomplished fiddler.
1t has been said that when you see q bow

either going directly away from il or directly

tacle was witnessed as at the funeral
of Gen. Johnston, the ladies falling
into the procession, and marching on
foot. The line of march was down
Canal street to Magazine street, thus
passing through the heart of the city,
and witnessed by great crowds on
the banquettes, the balconies, and
even the Clay monument was throng-
ed with spectators, who gazed with
awe and admiration at spectacle
more surprisingly beautiful and sol
emn, interesting and imposing, than
had ever been exhibited i'll the Ores
cent City.
Having said so much about these
solemn ceremonies, | feel a great re-
puonance to touching on any other
themes however interesting per Sc.
may mention here, that the legis-
lature met, yesterday, but as to any
good that they can accomplish in the
present condition of political affairs,
is more than / can conjecture. TO
me, these legislative assemblies are
all a solemn farce. What is the use
of enacting laws, if they cannot be
enforced We are under the heel OF
the oppressor, and, for one, say, let

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

The Senate of the United States
undergoes important changes every
two years. Anticipating the election
of Swami, in Maryland, and a Con
Srryative in Kentucky, it is probable
the next Senate-c commencing on the
ith of March next-will stand as fol-
lows: California, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
Sas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Rhode Island, and Vermont, two Re
publicans each, thirty two members ;
Connecticut, Indiana, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Nir-
rinia, and Wisconsin, one Republi-
can each, thirty-nine in all. Della
ware, Kentucky and Maryland send
each two Democrats, and the divided
States above named one each, max
iugin all thirteen Conservatives. The
Senate Of the FOrtieth Congress, will
therefore stand thirty-nine Radicals
to thirteen Conservatives "A two
thirds majority with four votes to

Ii is Gair to inter, from the Ian

mo in Missouri, without taking a test
oath: but that all persons now eXclu-
dcd from the right to hold their office
by reason OF their inability to take
the prescribed oath are TO longer so
excluded. and that all persons debar-
red from tie right to woe for tie
same reason cannot be any longer so
drbarrcd. One great convenleLc to
the people Of the South, that should
nj once result, is the fall restoration
Of postal facilities, heretofore great
X restricted by the impossiblIlty OF
finding PERSONS to serve as mail car
ricrs and postmasters. The second
result, tilat of enflanchiaing citizens
nov prescribed from voting by the

RY TELEGRAPH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The fol-
lowing message was transmitted by
the President to the Senate:
return the act admitting Colo
RADIO, since duty prevents its appro-
val. With the exception Of the adj
ditional clause, it is the same vetoed
by me in May last, and still awaits
the Senatc's consideration. Unable
to perceive any reason for changing
my opinion, see additional reasons
confirming the wisdom OF my former
veto. The additional section makes
the bill more Objectionable. The con
stitution of Colorado provides that
the laws existing shall continue.
Among these is one absolutely pro
hibiting negro suffrage. The recent
Territorial Legislature almost unanl-
mously refused its repeal, and rend-
ing the passage of the act by Con
gress. the Territorial Legislature
passed an act denying jury rights to
negroes. The bill before me grants
rights denied by the Legislature and
Constitution of Colorado. This i'll
congruity and protest on the part OF
tho people against the State GOV
ernment clearly indicate the impollcy
and iniuStness proposed i'll the enact
ment. The subject deserves enquiry
whether the enactment would not be
an attempt to exercise power not
vested in them by the constitution.
The President submits evidence of
the repugnance of the people of Colo
RADIO to the State Government. The
total population of Colorado is 81, 190
only. while $4,000 is required for
congressionaIrepresentation, arguing
this as unjust and not enough for
two Senators. Such admission of
States was not practiced in early
DAYS. Florida's admission, i'll 1915,
resulted from sectional strife, which
we would do well to regard as a warn
ing of evil, rather than an example
for imitation. lie shows by statistics
that other States, when admitted,
had populations emitting them to
nearly two representatives. Every
organized territory is, equally with
! Colorado, entitled to admission. This
logical precedent admits Decotah,
Montona, Idaho, when they present
themselves, giving us ten senators
and five representatives, furnished
by a population scarcely entitled to
one representative in the existing
States, while the average population
for two Senators is now nearly a mil
lion. He argues that the enabling
act for Colorado was passed under
false statistics and the deliberate de-
cision of the people against it, form.
ing and exhauSting the enabling act,

that the enabling act for Colorado
was passed under false statistics, and
the deliberate decision of the people.
. Besides the bill is so framed as to
render its execution impossible, and
the question is, whether it is or not
in itself nullity! lie argues at
some length the incOngruities OF
the bill aud concludes that the adj
mission of State should be regarded
as an epoch in history, marking the
progress of the nation, but he cannot
see that the proposed proceeding ac-
cords with the uniform policy of the
