BASE BALL.

The game of base ball yesterday between the
Athletics of this city and the Red Stockings
of Cincinnati was not satisfactory to those
who staked their money on the former club
on the strength of their victory over the
Atlantics last week, but to those who believe
that things are not always what they seem,
the result was neither unexpected nor un-
accountable. The innocents who have not
lost all their faith in the better qualities of
human nature of course lay all the blame
upon the umpire, but that unfortunate indi-
vidual cannot be made responsible for evils
that are the natural growth of a system that
can produce no good fruits. Base ball as a
means of healthful recreation is entitled to
encouragement, but it is notorious fact that
the playing members of the leading
clubs are all paid large salaries for their SER
vices; that immense sums are realized from
the spectators who attend to witness matches,
so that it is to the interest of the players to
keep up an excitement by making the fortunes
of the game vary as much as possible; and
that an unlimited amount of gambling is in
dulged in, so that direct encouragement is
given to jockeying of every description. A
few weeks ago the Red Stockings were de-
feated by the Atlantics. Last week the
Atlantics were defeated by the Athletics, all
reports of the game stating that the New
Workers ''muffed" in a shocking manner. The
result of these two games was to excite an
unusual interest in the contest between the
Cincinnati and the Philadelphia clubs that
came off yesterday, and to stimulate the bet
ting. The consequence was that those who
staked their mo ney on the Athletics are out of
pocket considerably, for that club followed
the example of the Atlantics and played a
''muff'' game, throwing the victory into the
hands of the Red Stockings.
The result of this sort of thing will be that
decent men cannot afford to risk their repu-
tation by having anything to do with base
ball, and the game will be left entirely in the
hands of the gambling fraternity. 1t has very
nearly come to this now, and few more
games such as those of yesterday and last
week will reduce baseball to the level of the
race course and the prize-ring.

BAD FOR RNTLER.

"WHEN rogues fall out, honest men come by
their own, says the adage. A very forcible
example of the truth of this proposition was
given yesterday in the House of Representa-
tives during the debate on the Presidents
veto of the Rollin White Relief bill So long
as members of Congress are on good terms
with each other there is very little chance
that the public will know anything about the
moving springs of legislation. There are
vague rumors of corruption, bribery, and all
manner of unrighteousness, but experience
has shown that it is almost impossible to
bring home his guilt to any particular Of
fender; and even when, as in the case of the
carpet Dagger Whittemore, Congress does
make an example, there is an uneasy suspi-
cion that it is only for the sake of attract
ing attention from others even more guilty.
Political differences sometimes lead to vio-
lent language, but they are scarcely ever
sufficiently bitter to incite personal attack,
and it is only when a couple of honorable
gentlemen have a private quarrel that they
can be relied upon to expose each others
misdoings. Messrs. Butler and Farnsworth
have private quarrel of long standing, and
they have each been making threats and
damaging insinuations, but have hitherto re-
Trained from an engagement at close quarters.
Yesterday, however, Farnsworth saw an op-
portunity to give the hero of Fort Fisher a
knock down blow without rendering himself
liable to much damage in return, and he
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-06-23

THE great men at Washington are devoting
no small portion of their time to elimination
and recrimination, and the great questions of
the day, apart from those involved in the
Butler-F Farnsworth controversy, appear to be
whether General Fremont swindled the
Frencbmen SO badly that his railroad projects
should not be endorsed by the Senate;
whether Cuban bonds were used to influence
the action of Congressman; and whether the
negotiations of the San Domingo treaty are
undefled by tyranny and corruption. Thus,
on the one hand, accusations are multiplied
that money surreptitiously finds its way into
the pockets of leading politicians, while con-
slant delays attend the efforts to reduce the
taxes imposed on the people. Republican
Congressman must speedily amend this
record if they wish to be victorious in the fall
elections.

our former Philadelphia newspaper men,
George Alfred Townsend. We have seen a
letter from the Vice-President's secretary
denying this. So awkward way of doing a
mean thing is calculated to help Townsend
rather than to annoy him.

SENIOR CASTELAR,, the great Spanish orator
whose speech in favor of religious freedom
electrified the Cortes some months ago, has
recently made an equally eloquent effort in
favor of the immediate abolition of slavery
in Spanish territory. In the course OF this
speech he quoted the proclamation of Abra-
ham Lincoln amid loud applause, and pressed
home upon the Cortes such cogent arguments
that the Government plan for gradual eman-
cipation was materially weakened. The
ardor and ability displayed by the great
Spanish orator in behalf of freedom will do
much to secure for the party he represents
the sympathies of the liberal men of all
nations, and to strengthen the prevailing
hope that the conflict now pending in Cuba
will secure liberty to the slave, if not to the
Creole. The insurgents are professedly in
favor of unconditional and immediate aboli-
ton, and each new Spanish demonstration in
favor of the same doctrine tends to give the
slaves a double guarantee of freedom.

THINGS are decidedly looking black in Paris for
the disciples Of Brillat-Savarin. The general fail
ure of the oyster fisheries on the west coast of
France, and particularly at Arcachon, caused by the
intense heat of last summer, sent these pleasant
bivalves up to fancy prices; and now new disaster
seems to be impendng-the supply of crawfsh is
nearly exhausted. No less than five millions and a
half Of those delicious crustacea, which play so i'm
portant part in the famous 'bisque ecrevisses"
and "vol-au-vent a la fnanciere," are yearly con-
sumed in Paris; and for many years France has for
warded to the capital only an infnitesimal portion
of the total quantity required In 1853 the first i'm
portations were made from Germany, and since that
period the Rhine provinces, Hanover, Wurtemberg,
and Holland have been successively ransacked and
exhausted. The greater number are now derived
from Silesia and Posen but the crawfsh being by no
means prolific, and not attaining marketable size
under five years. the supply by no means keeps pace
with the demand, and its utter and speedy failure Is
considered highly probable.
