BASE BALL-THE NEW GROUNDS or TnE
OLYMPIC CLUB.-We are pleased to learn
that the enterprislng 0lymplcs have deter
mined TO "Play 1t alone" during the coming
season.
Acting upon their good resolutions, and
with . view VI full preparation FOR an carry
spring, they have already fenced In q line
square Of ground bounded by Sixteenth and
Seventeenth and r and s streets, with an
eight foot fence, and have erected . beautiful
eottage-style clubhouse, painted In lavender
and white, set back from the street, inclosed
by O neat picket fence, TO be decorated BY .
flower garden In from, when the season shall
justify.
They have already In course Of construc-
ton two tiers Of seats, each 1876 feet long,
with Ave rows Of seats In each tier, closely
covered, capable Of seating over thousand
spectators.
Between these tiers Is spacs OF 40 feet,
occupied by the Shack stop and pathways,
above which the scorers and reporten' stand
will be erected, the front 10 DO ornAmented
with appropriate designs.
Their grounds are very large, being APO
by $50 feet-are finely drained 10 an Adjoin-
Ing branch, and arc beautifully lifted BY ma
ture for the purposes OF a ball neld, scarcely
any grading being necessary.
We are Informed that the entire matter Ia
being coudu tied on the edih pTiAelpls, the
material and labor being ISid for TO date.
The rents and privileges paid for BY this
club during the past season amounted to
nearly the entire cot Of preparing the new
grounds.
The olympios expect TO present one Of the
most formidable mines OF the country during
the coming SEASON, having already secured
Glbney, who led the national clubs score
during the past season, and Pinckham OF
the Eckfords, whose excellent playing will
be readily recalled by those who saw the
Eckfords play last year.
We congratulate the Olymplees on their
enterprise, and wish them successful sea-
son during 1870.

that, ~ Baltimore has the president, the vice
president shond come from some point along
the line, and that as R ckbridgc is a, the same
lime the largest stakeholder aud the most ce-
trail county. he should be taken from among

mi. r,rt Of lngie is uvilAer conclusive nor per-

this s,rt Of logic is neither conclusive nor per-
suaSive.
Blu, our friend see rs much alarmed at the
large expenditures which involve increased
taxation for the restoration Of the necessary
buildings fr tire Use uf the county At Charles
town. The CIV of economy is raised for the
FIRST time in the quarter fr'm which u now
enmes. With unruffled cnmplscency the spec
tAcle was witnessed Of thousands of dollars
passing into Improvements on property not he
longing tn the county and subject to a rever-
sim tie m ,nent the county ceased t. Use them !;
and vet when the reconstruction "f the public
buildings IN the public property. aud "n the
very Sp chosen nf all others f,r their lrcat'n
originally is prop ,>e,l, the act of simple JUS
,ice " il attsmpte - be SIN ,sherel BY the vail
Of economy! Are the people says our
friend. willing to have this tax imposed nn
them unnecessarily VIII they assume theSr
taxes To benefit few sef-intert>ted parties at
Ciarlestown Icho withom consulting the "iSheS
Of the Deopl. demand the immediate removal at
the county archives To that place; the vaIua-
Bile papers and records of the county are t. lie
taken from their strong enclosure in whrh
they are now deposited in our Court House,
they are To- he taken To- Charlrstnwn and con-
signed IN the security of Lee Hall or s''ne gen
tlrmAn's private chamber y
In answer to these enquiries we would re-
spertfulls say to our cotemp"rary that had
the wishes Of the people been consulted in
the transfer If the couuty- seat tron' Charles
town to Shepherdsrowu, and h"i the act OF re-
muva been done by them. we would he the
last TO reopen question which they had de-
hberately settled, hut Is he says every citi-
zen is acquainted VITA the history uf the re-
muyal Of the coun.y-seAt to this place iShep-
herLstownl All We may add that more ia
,raa, AMI wauton violation of the wishes Of
the ne pie WAS not committed during the long
rrici Of irresponsible power over them WAS
nat very act which WIS begun aud cnnSum-
mated with no more reference to them than if
they had hal no existence.
It is in obedience to their known wishes A.
they are nuw expressing them r'uIh petit
tious To- the Legislature If the State that we
earnestly advocate the mea sure of restoration.
On the intrinsic merits of the case aud the
g,od sense Of the Legislature DO We rely for
such action As we are sure may he properly
characterized as simple Justice"
The archives aud valuable papers If the
C unity will be properly cared tor and arefnlly
preserved The desoIations Of war did not
fortunately embrace within the circle Of their
destruction the origina, IRE proof record Of
noes Of the county. They are still standing
and available at a short notice f,r the uses Ter
which they were originally in'enied. All
then, tina, the usage To which
after their conveyance to ShepherlSt'wn they
were kunwn at frs, To have been subjected
