THE NATIONAL GAME.
MARYLAND vs.. AtlnntIc.

Nlmryl6nO VS. AtiuHtfcs
The Champions OF the South pluckily determined
to fulfil their engagements In this vicinity II such
thing were possible, and SO agreed provided the
weather would permit to play the Atlantics and
Mutuals yesterday. Shortly after nine O'Clock yes
terday morning their game with the Atlantics was
commenced. and 1t was very speedily made EVIL
dent that the Southerners were In good trim
and humor Tor play and that the champions
would have their hands full. The visitors are
young, lithe-looking men, and, 1t must be
said OF them, that their general appearance
and department on the field second to no club In
the country. They. are capital feders, good run
ners and batters and generally well up in the points
OF the game. In the first two innings with the At.
lantics they batted Zettlein In lively style 80 that
the Atlantlcs were obliged to put Chapman in to
pitch slow balls and prevent the Marylanders from
hitting OF the playing on the occasion that Of
Goldsmith, Mncher, Armstead and Wortnngton is
worthy OF especial mention. The Champions were
minus the services OF Crane and Start, suffering
from injuries to his hands, was obliged to go into
the field, while Chapman took first base. There was
not much mufhng done, however, and but for the
Atlantics' lucky star they might have suffered de-

commercial weekly, in referring to the course Of
the dry goods trade during the week, says:-
The transactions In the dry goods market continue
to be on somewhat limited scale, and no great re-
vlva OF activity can be reasonably anticipated until
after the Presidential election. For the moment the
demand for staple cOttOns being slack, the tendency
Is still In the buyers favor but holders evince more
firmness In their views than was the case about
fortnight since, and If some slight concession 10
made It 10 due more to the idea OF stimulating the
demand than to any lack OF confidence In
the stability Of prices. Brown and beached
muslins show no important change since our
last review, the inquiry for the home market
for these goods being restricted TO small orders
for immediate consumption. The export Of brown
shirngs and drills Ia, however the increase, and
this fact has impaired more rmness to quotations,
AZ the present movement will soon reduce the sup
plies to the requirements OF our own trade. In
prints we note already irregularty OF rates. some
few brands selling beneath the cost OF production;
but this Ia chiefly owing 20 trihing deficiencies In
style cOlOring and for really first class work there
s a tendency to higher quotations. In other staple
cOttOns prices are somewhat easier, In sympathy
with the raw material with the exception Of ay0rite
brands, which are sold close 10 production or that
generally command steady rates on account Of their
popularity with the trade.
The amount or the national debt OF the United
States after deducting the amount OF coin and cur
rency in the Treasury, was as subjoined on the

There is very active and at some OF the banks a

merchants are largely represented among the appl-
cants. and in general they complain that they

promptitude. They generally assign as reason for
this state OF things that sthe farmers are holding
their grain In hopes OF higher pricesr and that
check which the whole crop movement has there

which monetary affairs evidently getting. This,
however. does not wholly satisfactorily account
for the present state OF things. The heavy receipts

After the tough tight with the champions in the

the contest with the Mutuals in the afternoon with
their "sprits willing but their flesh weak" and as

Their outhelding was very brisk and several very
pretty catches were made. The Mutuals generally

were greeted with much appreciation by the crowd
present. The score Of the game Is as follows:-

good authority that two millions and
half more In currency had been withdrawn
from the banks to-day. and that an aggrava

The following platform was adopted by
the wo:kingmen's convention, at Cleye-
land, on the night of the 9TH:
WHEREAS, 1t being self-evident fact
to the most casual observer that all, or
nearly all, of the mechanical branches o.
industry in the country are degeneratine !;
and that working men have, for series of
years neglected aud been insensble TO
their rights aud interests; and believing
that the primary causes which have opera
ted so detrimental to their rights may bsl
traced to an absence o.. an united organi4
cation by unity Of action, % aid ard assist
each other to procure just recognition of
their rights, and fair remuneration for'
their labor; We do, therefore adopt the
following as our platform
The only object of this sembly is to-
maintain the rights aud promote the in1
terests of the workingmen, as these ends
can only be obtained by thorough and
complete organization, aud by unity OF purI
pose and action. A full, free and ope1
discussion of principles should be tolerated
and encouraged, and we will not support
any one of the national, state, district
county, or municipal ticket who is not
wholly pledged to sustain tho workin I,
men first, last and all the time, aud to op-
pose all monetary legislation that docs not
establish equal taxation upon all the PROP
erty OF the nation, whether that property
consists of money, bonds, houses, lands, OF
any other species of property usually made
objects Of taxation.

Radical Work i'm WASHINGTON.

The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune says:
The Republican Executive committee
are daily sending out an immense number
of patriotic speeches andpublic documents,
at the rate of more than 100000 per week.
The Democrats, On the other hand, are
doing little or nothing. At their head
quarters they have only two or three
clerks employed, who manage to send off
about 5000 to 5000 documents per week.
In the main, true, we suppose-and it
arises from the fact that the Radicals had
about s40O,00O,000 taken from tie people
in Taxes to forage upon, while the expen-
ses OF running are immense.
The Democracy, however, have this ad
vantage over these patriotic speeches"
and "public documents"-that, every
where, on every side, in every home and
household, is democratic argument
such as
The double price of food and clothing.
The velocity and volume with which
property in almost every part Of the coun-
try is running from the Poor to the Rich
in consequence of the inequality and in
Justice Of Taxation.
The destruction of our foreign CONNER
cial Marine.
The Punishment of gold and silver as
coin, and the universe lity of paper
The substitution Of Rag Barons in the
$500 100000 of National Bank currency,
for which the people pay on an average 10
per cent per anhum-while the Barons
have al the money making monopoly
power for 5000, 900 Of people.
The downfall of the Constitution every
where.
The substitution of a Consolidated for q
Federal form Of Government
The overthrow of the right of Trial by
Jury and Of the Hddcas Corpus among
100000 of our people.
The subjugaticn of eight millions of
white men in the South to three or four
millions Of negroes.
The reign of Carpot-baggers in Con-
gress, generally runaways from the North)
assuming to represent the whites and ne
groes in the South.
All these are Democratic arguments in
every mans mouth, and are present,
more or less, everywhere, in every house,
cottage and cabin.-N y Express.

A VaEic i'm ~ Washington Thea

There was a scere Of wild excitement in
the National theatre at Washington, on
the night Of the 7th, which was literally
crammed with spectators at the opening Of
the BLACK Crook" Dnring the trapsfcr-
tation scene, woman in the audience per-
ceived smoke rising slowly, and screamed
fire." and an actress echoed the cry In
an instant the crowd rose to their feet in
terror and excitement. The crowd rush
ed for the doors, and soon becoming jam
med together, surged to and fro in des-
perate effort to make their exit Several
hundred persons succeeded in making
their exit hatless, and in some instances
coatless, 50 frantic were their struggles to
escape. In the meantime the curtain was
rung down, the audience was informed
there was no danger, became paci6ed, and
the performance was concluded. A num-
ber Of persons got out of the win dows, and
some slid down ropes. The alarm was oc-
casioned By the gauze taking fire, which
was put out in moment.

We havciu our possession a rare book !,
entitled, Report Of the Secretary of the
Senate" giving a detailed account of the
payments from the contingent fund of that
body for the ear ending December, 1867.
The whole amount expended was sl64:-
S92 04, and the correctness Of the account
is certified by, 81. w. Forney, Secretary
Of the Senate" 1t is book Of 81 pages,
and is, from beginning to end, perfect
labyrinth OF figures. OF course, it is inn
practicable to print any considerable por-
ton ofit, or even to make an abstract of
its contents, without more time than we
have to spare.
The leading article in point Of cost seems
to be paper; and it is entirely incredible
that so small budy as the Senate, in its
present emascIlated condition, could use a
tithe of the enormous quantity with which
it is charged. Next in order, perhaps,
come newspapers ard magazines; aud it
appears that the Senators are supplied at
the public expense with every thing in this
line that their fancy calls for. Among
the assortment we notice all the foreign
qnarterlies, the leading American month
lies, and weekly and daily newspapers,
from al, parts Of the United States. Then
we have envelopes, of different qualities
and styles by the million. The pens can
only be numbered by the leaves ofthe for
est or the sands upon the sea shore. Then
come knives and scissors. We find that
one man was pad over two thousand dol.
lars for knives alone. Divide this by the
number Of Senators, if you know how
many there are, and see how much it costs
to supply each with his pocket cutlery.
