Baseball is a manly game, and has
been exceedingly popular in this coun-
try, but its glory has departed. The
National Convention" of ball-players
having voted to abolish the champion
ship system, the different clubs have
agreed to melt the silver ball, and SO
the stimulus to active rivalry is remov-
ed. The real cause of the decay of the
clubs, according to some of the uphold.
ders of this sport, is the perversion of
the matches to gambling purposes, and
if this is true, they shOsld stop work
until reform takes place.

HON. WM. Y, STEVFNSON.

Editors Gazette: In your issue of the
23d inst. observe that you announce
that your columns are open to cOmmu-
nications on political topics, so, there
fore, l take the liberty of addressing
you short note for publication, in
which ] desire to present TO the citi-
zens of Writ county and of the First
Congressional District the Hon. VIM.
L. Stevenson, of Wood county, West
Virginia, as a suitable person to repre-
sent the District in the next Congress.
Mr.. Stevenson has served in the cOun-
ellis of our State with marked ability,
and proven that he would be able to
represent the First Cons ressional Dis
trict in the Halls of Congress to the en-
tire satisfaction Of his constituents.
He is man of large administrative
ability-a ripe schOlar-perscveriD
and industriOus-of strict integrity
and man that would at all times be
found willing and anxious to look after
the welfare and interest of his COnstit.
uents.
Ii is true that Mr. Hubbard has proved
himself faithful public servant during
the period that he has represented the
First District. He has been endorsed
by his constituents, and, therefore, can
not, it occurs to me, ask to be re-endors-
ed, and again sent to Congress.
| have it from the best authority that
the Democracy will present as their
candidate in this District Mr.. Walker,
of Wheeling, shrewd politician, aud
that they are going to "move heaven
and earth" to secure his election. I'm
der these circumstances it is my belief
(and | think that hundreds of others
will agree with me) that Mr.. Stevenson
would be able to carry the Republican
banner through triumphantly with
more ease than any other man that
could be placed on the ticket.

From the Parkersburg Times.l
Candidate for Congress.

We publish below a communication
from the Elizabeth Gazette, favorable to
the nomination of the Hon. VIM. +.
Stevenson for Congress. On careful
comparison of views we find that the
sentiments expressed in this conmuni-
cation are the sentiments of nine-tenths
of the voters of Writ and Wood ceun-
ties. 1t is felt, without any disparage-
ment to the gentleman spoken of in con-
neet:on with the position of Congress
man, that we sSall need in this district
man for our standard bearer who has
been tried in the furnace, who has the
confidence of the people, and whose
powers in debate are of the first char
acter. All these qualities are combined
in Mr.. Stevenson. Having served with
distinguished honor in the councils of
our young State he has the practical
experience to give him at once a place
and position in the halls of our Nation
al Legislature. This is to be canvass
fraught with grave issues to the cOun-
try; and it will require all the powers
of debate which can be brought to bear
to meet the sophistIies of our willy op-
ponents. They will nominate the ire
pressible Walker, of the Wheeling Reg
ister, as their candidate for Congress
aud those who know this man knew
that lie is capable of the most unscrupn-
lous party tactics-is man of shrewd-
ness and of energetic action. And as
we said before, without making invid-
ions distinctions among our own
friends, we know of no one so
capable as Mr.. Stevenson to measure a
lance with him.
1t is pretty certain that the military
element will be presented by General
Duyal ascandidate for Governor. He
seems to be the man of all others for
this position; and we hope to have the
pleasure of helpiag to place him in the
Gubernatorial Chair. Meme brsver-
none worthier could fill it. We inter-
pose no Fictitious opposition to any.
We shall support the nominees be they
whom they may. But as the occasion
is incidentally presented in the follow
communication we cannot refrain from
thus giving expression to what we
know to be the will of the people in
this section Of the district; William Z.
Stevenson is their first choice.

POLICE CoURT.-Rather more ANNA
ton than usual at this Court yesterday
morning. The "green-eyed monster
and Captain Whisky had worked upon
the passions of two individuals till they
had overeached tho bounds of order
and law, by becoming disorderly and
noisy.
George Francis, charged with disor-
derby conduct, was up for examination,
when it appeared that George, moved
by the spirit Of jealousy, had threatened
his wife with chastisement for her lack
of chastity, and had created considera-
BILE disturbance. For this breach of the
peace the Judge fined him S. and cost.
Henry Smith, charged with creating
tumult and disorder, was next called
and his case put on trial. The testimo-
nv showed that Smith had entered a sa-
loon, and, while under the influence
of "red-eye" committed divers deeds of
disorder and manifested desire to
break things generally. He was fined
$40 and cost. He complained bitterly
and thought it big price to pay for
"hitting dutchmau."

DEFINITIONS WITH THE DIFFERENCE
For tie information of our readers and
SEINE inquisitive Radicals, we subjoin
the following, taken from q Southern
journal, showing the difference between
q "carpet Dagger" and "scalawag,"
as also the literal definition of both
terms. 1t says:
"The carpet-bagger is o Northern
thief, who comes South to plumber every
white man who is a gentleman Of any
property or respectability, and get al
tho offices he can. The scalawag is a
Southern born scoundrel, who will dc
oil the carpet-bagger will, and besides
murder the carpet-bagger for the gutta
psrcha ring his sister gave him when he
left home"

RIVER NEws.-The river was nearly
on stand, last night, with five feet
and three inches by the marks. Bust
ness on the levee was brisk.
The Major Anderson took on pretty
good freight at the wharf and then
dropped down to the Belmont Mills to
take on large lot of nails.
The river, in all probability, will keep
at fair boating stage the balance OF
the season. On yesterday morning the
river, at Pittsburgh, was five feet and
rising.
There were no transient boats passing
yesterday. We learn that the Ingomar
will, in q few days, start as regular
packet in the Pittsburgh and Parkers-
burg trade.
The Express left yesterday for Par
kersburg at IL A. NJ, the James Rees for
Sunfish at 3 P. NJ. and the Forest City
for Steubenville at 2i P. NJ.
Boats leaving to-day: The Rebecca
for Parkersburg at IL A. NJ, the James

HELD TO BAIL.-After w. II. Smith
was fined in the Police Court, yesterday
morning, to the tune of $50 and cost, he
went directly to the saloon of Leopold
Buche, the same place where he had
acted disorderly before, and committed
an assault on the person of Mr.. Buche,
and threatened him with bodily injury.
Smith was taken before Justice John
ston and held to bail in the sum of 500
to keep the peace for six months, and
Smith not being ready for trial on the
charge of assault, the case was post

WAR OF RACEs.-On yesterday after
noon quite an excitement prevailed at
Gutmans corner, on Monroe and Main
streets. 1t appears that Scott, young
american of African descent" better
known as Peanut Scott, was standing
at the corner aforesaid with his basket
of peanuts, when young Hibernian
came along and wanted Scott to give
him some peanuts. After some little
cow ersation the son of the Emerald
Isle caught hold of Scott and COM
menced butting him with his head. 1t
is said by those standing near that Scott
made no resistance but asked him to go
off and let him alone. From the re-
ports of the by-standers at this scene OF
action, it would appear that the African
was blameless.
But it is asserted that Scott had In
suited the Irishman yesterday morning
at the boat landing-that he had hit
MIN VIII II StOut, anu Uudt phO IL
had been looking for Africa all day. If
this is so, and we have no reason to
doubt it, it puts the matter in an en-
tirely different light. One thing is very
certain there is too much familiarity
shown Scott, which tends to make him
somewhat impudent. But we suppose
the affair will come up before the Po-
lice Court this morning and then we
shall be better able to judge who was
the first aggressor.
Scott could not be found after the af-
fair. 1t was supposed he took refuge
in the store of Messrs. M. Gutman &
Co., but no one could tell for certain.
The police made one or two attempts
to get him, but to no purpose. Africans
have a right to protection, as we'll as
the white man, but whether he shall
have more is yet to be tested. We wait
for tho law and the testimony.

GRAPES COMING DowN.-Now we do
not wish to be understood as saying that
the price of grapes is coming down, for
we do not see that prices in anything
are dropping. But there has been fall
in grapes. On Tuesday morning as the
Express wagon of the Express Company
started for the depot of the Il. & o. X.
R., some three or four boxes of grapes
fell from the top of the piled-up freight
iHts the gutter. The employees of the
Office soon picked them up, and took
them and the shattered boxes back to
the office to arrange them again. Not a
murmur or a complaint was heard as
back to the Office they hurried.

GLooMY.-Tuesday was very gloomy
day. A drizzling rain fell the whole
day, and mud was plenty in the streets.
1t was day well suited to suicides, but
we did not hear of any such crime,
though the countenances of some of the
RAIDS were rather "ominous" of such
events. Should John S. Garlic make
another speech here, we should enter
tain fears of sad consequences. Some
few are laboring under alterations of the
mind, from watching the rapid motions
of the political. whirligig.
