The Savannah R'publicun, q Demo
cratic paper, says:
"In his speech accepting the nomi-
nation for Governor of Massachusetts,,
Mr. John Quincy Adams cnunciatcd
the principles which the Democracy
must adopt to achieve success in the
next Presidential election. The New
York SIN (radicaD says to him: Tf
the party will cordially accept his
views on national issues, and will pre-
sent candidate that fairly reflects
them, then tho Republicans in 1872
will have to bring out their strongest
man, and throw into the canvass their
bottom dollar, or give up all hope of
victory
"Thc philosophy of Mr.. Adams is
simply u recognition Of the facts rs
they actually exist. lie does not see
the wisdom of fighting battles over
again which have ouco been fought
and conclusivcly decided. TO any
longer combat the results of the late
war, including reconstruction and me-
gro suffrage, he knows to bo as boot

for General Lee to have resisted the
Union armies after they had hemmed
him in on all sides at Appomattox
Court House. Mr.. Adams does not
require Democrats to yield up any Of
their opinions as to how, in their
Judgment, these controversies ought
to have ended; but only to acknow-
ledge tho undcniablo fact that they
have ended in n peculiar way, and
then, like men Of common sense, to
govern themselves accordingly.
"Mr. Adams is the first Northern
Democratic candidate for high posi-
tion to break ground in favor of tho
Southern view Of party policy. We
shall sec how it works in the election,
and we predict that if radicalism in
Massachusetts is not put to rout, it's
grand army will be so badly crippled
that it will not DO able to stand an
other campaign."

Match Between Dion and NTcDevitt.

Matcb between Dion ana NNcDevuf.
match for $500 came OF at Irving Hall last night
between John McDevltt or New York (who held at
one time the champions cuel ana Cyrille Dion, of
Montreal. They played the French three bali game,
800 points, each carrom counting one. There was a
pretty fair audience present, but seemed small In
comparison with the crowds VINO filed the hall
afternoon and evening during the late tournament.
The game was opened by Dion who failed TO count,
and failed also on his next two innings. McDevitt
made three points on his first inning, and for his
next twenty played much better than his competitor,
which is saying very little Dion in his twentynine
innings had failed TO count seventeen times. and
McDevitt eleven. The game up to this point was
utterly devoid Of interest, many OF the spectators
leaving in apparent disgust. There was hardly
man present who ever had cue In his hand but
thought he could do well himself. After the thr
teth inning each player began 70 do little better,
but McDevitt still kept far In advance OF Dion. AT

Dion began to gam little. so that at the next eau
the score stood McDevitt 137, Dion 100. ON hs
elekty-seventh inning Dion made q run OF 1s which
won him the first applause he had yet received, and
closed up the gap considerably: but In his next
seven innings he either failed to count or made not
more than four points. McDevitt however, had
run OF %, much the highest made thus FAR, and
which again heightened the distance between the
PLAYERS. Soon alter this the game was called and
McDevltt had 2o3 and Dion lab. After this McDevtt
fell off considerably and. the next call showed him

at which time the game for the ilrst time began 10

run of p. which once more widened the gap and
reassured the friends OF McDevitt. But this assurance
was OF not long duration; for Dion got good run

not a difficult one. Dion however, was affected
