Great excitement prevails In Base
Ball circles in all parts of the coun
try over the coming contests this sea-
son. The different Base Ball clubs
have spared neither money nor effort
to organize Mines that will be able to
compete for the championship. The
Cincinnati Nine, the champions of
last year, have been practicing dill
gently, and feel confident of their abil7
ity to maintain their supremacy. They
were to open the season on Saturday
by game with picked Nine, com
posed Of the best amateurs of the
city, with two or three professional
players. On Thursday next they
leave for New Orleans. They expect
to play FIVE or six of the best clubs in
that vicinity during their absence.
They will start on their return about
the 9Th of May sa
The following items are clipped
from our Exchanges.
The Brooklyn Atlantics opened the
season on April 9TH, in practice
game against field of IL players.
The latter nine included Pearce, the
old Atlantic short stop; Calvin,
Devyr, Henry, Remsen aud other
noted players, but were badly beaten
by a score of % to Sin full game.
In the Atlantic nine, Pearce and
Crane were missing, their places be-
ing filed by Mum and George Hall.
The amateur Stars, of Rrooklyn,
played a prize game on the 9th Of
April against very strong field nine,
and were victorious by score of q to
g. The field included Ferguson,
Chapman, Pike and George Hall. of
the Atlantics; Charlie Hunt, one of
the celebrated brothers Of that name,
Calvin and three good amateur play
ers. This victory of the Stars is
therefore a most creditable one, and
they will make our leading profess
!. SIGNALS look to their laurels before the
season is far advanced.
The Tri- Mountains, of Boston
opened the season on the 7th OF
April. Their first nine, which in
clude Bellam, of the Haymakers, de-
feated field nine in seven innings by
a score of 35 to a.
The following interesting item oil
base ball news we clip from the New
York Tribune, Of las Wednesday:
On Tuesday next the nine OF 1876
of the New. York Mutual Club appear
against the field on the Union
Ground, Williamsburg. At the last
meeting of the Club Directors the
nine were agreed upon, and their po'
sitions set down, as follows: John

Patterson, left field; Everett Mills,

ter field, and A. Martin, right field,
with George Flanly as first substitute.

Butler's Protection.

A new illustration of the wise ideas
of political economy which govern
the manipulation of a tariff whose
duties range to 100 per cent. or arti-
cles of ordinary necessity, and on the
tools of earning living, and In which
every man who is manufacturing any
thing demands and secures a monop-
oily tax, is shown in the remark Of
Mr.. Butler In the tariff debate on
| Thursday, on the proposed amend
ment to reduce The duty on gunny
cloth. He said she did not wish to
see the day when manufactures would
| flourish in the west, forWhere manufac-
lures flourish agriculture goes down"
The farmer who is taxed from so to
100 per cent. on every iron implement
and domestic utensil, and $50 per
cent. on common blankets and coarse
cloths, and IS to 80 per cent on the
stuffs for his children's dresses, aud
| 90 per cent. on their shoes, and so on
through everything they wear, and
every instrument of production. not to
pay into the Treasury, but to put in
the pockets of the privileged class, is
told that for his compensation he gets
a market for his products, and that
thus the way to benefit the farmer is
to give the manufacturers their own
prices. = sc .1r
But there is considerable Western
manufacture which takes the stalk of
the fax that is raised for the seed.
and is otherwise worthless, and works
it into a fabric for coarse bagging and
baling, in which it completes with the
jute and jute bagging from India; and
when this asks its little modicum of
protection of 3 cents e pound, when
valued at 10 cents or less yard, and
4 cents when valued at more than 10
cents, Mr.. Butler announces new
principle of political economy, to wit. :
that manufactures kill agriculture.
and profitable agriculture kills manu-
features, and therefore he opposes
any protection to the Western gunny
cloth manufacturer. Ofcourse, this
doctrine would knock the whole pros
tectiVo system into everlasting smash;
but it is exceedingly we'll calculated
to serve General Buffers purpose. 1t
will arouse the indignation of many
simpletons in the West at this out
rageous declaration of a representa-
tive from New England manufatu-
rers that he wants to take off the du--'
ties IN order to kill Western manufacF
lures. They will charge that New
England wants to break down the
protective system now that her man
ufactures have become so strong, in
order todestroy those of the Vest
They will rage for higher duties,
charge New England withzfree trades
and relieve her from the brunt of up
holding the proscriptive system, and
thus will give it new lease of life,
and will most earnestly shake the

THE editor Of the Courier Journal
is endeavoring to avenge himself on
Gen. Grant for chasing him all over
the Southern Confederacy during the
rebellion. Every number of his pa
per contains some contemplate sneer
or insult, which only serve, how
ever, to point out the pusillanimity of
the editor without at all injuring or
disturbing the President. No doubt
the latter looks upon the paragraphs
in the Louisville Courier Journal
with the same complacency that he
read similar diatribes in the Louis
ville-Bowlipg. Green Nashville. Chat

weapons Of man whose courage il

a correspondent Of the Louisville
Courier Journal. writing from Madi-
sonville, gives the following advice to
the Louisville business men:
1t is the opinion of great many
that your city should urge and de-
mand that the ElizabethtoWn and Pa
ducah Railroad be SO located as to
reach this point. it is certain that q
railroad will be constructed from this
place to ShaWneetown. Illinois, within
the next two years. At Shawneetown
it will connect with two roads, one rum
ming north to Chicago, the other run
ming directly to st. Louis. The compile
ton of the Madisonville ShaWneetown
Straight-line road and its connection
here with the Evansville, Henderson
& Nashville Railroad, will make this
an important railroad town. With its
inexhaustible coal and timber, its Pc
culiar supply of water from running
fountains and its surrounding agricul-
tural lands, this place must very soon
take rank with the most important in
terror towns of the State. The adj
vantage to. your city of bringing the
Elizabethtown and Paducah road d.
rectly TO this point from GreenYille is
the turning to Louisville of an i'm
mense trade that now goes to Evans
vile. This, Webster, and Union
counties would now send about six
thousand hogsheads Of tobacco to
your city each year (every pound of
which now goes to Evansville and
other points, if they had direct COM
munication with Louisville.
We think the correspondent is
greatly mistaken in supposing that
the completion Of the Elizabethtown
q Paducah road will draw trade from
Evansville to louisville. Our mer-
chants think differently. So far from
losing any Of their trade, they antici-
pate that the completion of that road
will largely increase it. They are
confident oftheir ability to compete
with the Louisville merchants and
manufacturers both in the quality of
goods and prices, and rightly argue
that the people of Kentucky will buy
where they can do so to the best
advantage. The Elizabethtown &
Padueah road viii hardly venture to
discriminate against US in freights for
that would be two-edged sword that

THE New York Democrat says truly
that at the rate matters are going on
now, Hoffman's administration will be
the most expensive to the people ol

ings and perquisities, paying no re-
gard to the great fact that the people
are now taxed as never before. Yet

Editors Journal:
With Spring and good roads. our
town is putting on a business look.
and shows greater activity-in a legit-
innate way, I mean, for the roughs
and saloons seem to hold their own
in all seasons. I observe that our
blacksmiths are busy with their
Spring work, turning out plows and
other farm implements for their Gus
toners.
The. wooden mill, suspended during
the Winter, is again In operation.
Several Of our merchants are in the
city purchasing their Spring stock,
and trade will, no doubt, be brisk
when they return.
With the bright, warm days, the
health of the country has grown bet
ter. Two or three weeks ago there
was considerable pneumonia, and a
few cases of spotted fever, but our
physicians have more leisure now.
The churches in this vicinity have
suspended their revival meetings, at
ter an unusually successful Winter
campaign. Rev. Franklin Cooper, OF

THE New Harmony Register comes
out strong for Judge Niblack as the
next Democratic candidate for Con-
gress. 1t will be remembered that
the Register was the first paper to
break ground in behalf of the nomin-
alton of the Judge. and that it got
very angry, when in a mild and gen
ial manner, we called attention to the
tactics by which it proposed to dis
pose Of other opponents. The strate-
gy which put Judge Parrett forward
for Supreme Judge, only to get him
out of the way for Congress, worked
like a charm. We presume he may
now be regarded as permanently upon
the shelf. Judge Davy Laird. who
has fit, bled and died" for the De-
mooIacy, time and again, is also out
of the question. Col. DENLY, of our
city, who has been hitherto counted
among the aspirants, being a young
man, can afford to wait for three or
four more terms.
We must say that Judge Niblack
is very clever fellow, and if we are to
be represented by Democrat, suits us
as well, if not better, than any one
else that the Democracy can select
1t is pretty apparent, however, thai
our District would derive much
greater benefit by electing Congress
man who would be in harmony, poll
tically, with the Administration and
Congress.
