At an informal meeting of the NJ. 8. A. B.
B. Players, held May 18th, the gentlemen rep
resentng the Eon, Androscoggin, Athletic and
Bowdoln clubs feeling that the Silver Ball
had not accomplished the object for which it
was created, but had hurt rather than helped
the base ball interest in the State, recommend
ed that the ball be played for in Tournament,
to be held in Brunswick, July 9th and 9th, the
club winning the ball to hold undisputed pos
session of the same, and the Secretary of the
Association was instructed to write each club
In the association for their approval Of this fin
ai disposition of the ball. And in order to set
Tie the disputed question as to which club was
emitted to the championship of last season,
she secretary was instructed to get the opin-
ion OF each club in the association as to the
championship of 1868. The Secretary accord
ingly wrote to nine of the ten clubs, and has
received answers as follows: The Athletic
Cushnoc, Crescent and Eon clubs regard the
Eon club as still champions The Androscog-
gin and Bowdoin clubs consider the Andros-
coggin club as entitled to the ball. The Nor
way boys not voting on the question, and the
Pine Tree and Ursa Major clubs not having
been heard from All of the above clubs heard
Il
from voted to wind up all matches for the
championship and silver ball at Tournament
to be held July 9th and 9th, but are equally d.
vided as to holding it in Portland or Bruins
wick. Since the meeting on May 18th, the
Secretary of the Association has seen the City
Committee on the 4th of July celebration, and
they have authorized him to say that cash
prize of not less than seventy-five dollars will
be given to the second club in the Tournament
provided it is played in Portland. The Secre
tary is in hopes to be able to offer third prize
In cash also. This will, without doubt, decide
the clubs to play in Portland. II the club
will please consider this an official notice o
the vote of the association, and if those club
voting to play in Brunswick will please inform
the Secretary of any change in their vote, h
will be obliged to them and announce the de
cision as soon as received. The Secretary will
consider it favor if the clubs entering for thu
Tournament will inform him of the fact a
once. ANDREW GEyER,

How Mr.. SEWARD THwARTED CONGRESS. :
The New York Express, Democratic jour
nal, tells the following story of Mr. Seward,
which very wen illustrates the feeling of pro-
found respect entertained by the late admins
tration for the will of the American people:
The attempt of the late Congress to defraud
Mr.. Harvey, the American minister at Lisbon,
of his salary for three years, in consequence OF
private letter to Mr. Seward in defence of
President johnson, is well known. The pres
ent Congress, however, did not initiate the bad
example of its predecessor, but made the re-
quisite appropriation of $3.50 for the three
years salary 1t will crafty all the friends of
honesty and fair dealing to know that Mr..
Harvey received his salary regularly during
the whole period referred to-his quarterly
drafts on Barring Brothers always being ac-
cepted by Mr.. Seward, and the amount paid
by the Barings being reimbursed out of the
surplus fund of consular fees Had Mr. Sew
ard allowed our minister's drafts to be dishon-
Ored, the government would undoubtedly have
been subjected to heavy damages in the court
OF claims. The malice of the radical Congress,
therefore. fell harmless. They were complete
ly outwitted by the Secretary of State, aud in
perfectly just and legal manner.
Such are the laurels gained by the great
apostle of the irrepressible conflict in the later
years of his official life.

box next to the stove in the boys room of the

lives next door, aud who saw the smoke issu-
ing through the roof by the chimney. The fire
was extinguished with pals of water without
the aid of the engines. Loss about $50.

The PRksfDENr AND THE GEORGIA REBELS.
A deputation of Georgians waited on the
President on Thursday to protest against the
continuance of Turner in the Office of Post
master a. r nostan dey sda'ea snat
odious to all parties; that Mr.. Washington,
who had been removed to make way for Tur-
ner, was q truly loyal Republican, and had
given the highest satisfaction. The President
informed the deputation that he had nothing
whatever against Mr.. Washington, but his re-
moval had been through the conviction that 1t
was necessary to administer some sort of re-
buke to the rebel element there who had coun-
tenanced the late outrages, and the President
thought Turner would give them a most un-
pleasant dose. 1t was too late now to protest
against the appointment 1t had been made
and must stand, no matter how unpalatable it
was to the people of that section.

Ill BREEDNG.-A most noticeable example
of ill-breeding was witnessed at Evergreen
Cemetery Saturday afternoon. A party Of
three or four young women and young men
collected just behind the speakers stand, and
all through the exercises kept up constant
tittering and talking in loud tone of voice SO
as to materially disturb not only the speakers
but also the large concourse of spectators who
were desirous of listening to the services. 1t
is bad enough for people to be disturbed at con-
certs and lectures by these chattsring pests
but it does seem as if they might exhibit some
sso,o of reverence over the graves OF the dead
even if they do not feel IL in their hearts.

RHODE ISLAND has done disreputable thing
in permitting the constitutional amendment to
90 over to next year without ratification. The
Senate acted fayorably upon the matter. before
the adjournment Of the Legislature, but the As
sembly refused to act upon it. Six or seven
more States are necessary to make the amend
ment part of the constitution and Rhode Is
land ought to have been one of them.
