5000 and 1000 persons witnessed the
base ball match. this afternoon, between

the Olympics of Washington. The

the finest games that has ever taken
place on the Union Grounds. Their
playing was faultless. The ball play

ever done here. The Olympics playing,

citizen of Cumberland, who was en-
ployed by Clark to show him Clark
through the county, and was to receive
ten dollars per day for his services.
Clark commenced examining horses at
once, and ere long every man in the
county heard of this wholesale pur.
chaser of horse flesh. He was giving
the higest prices, and that, too, cash
down. While examining he took
pains to exhibit q roll OF green

made himself known to Mr.. Henry

to pay $500 to Mr. Seymour for one o
his horses. He then proceeded to bu,

PROPORTIONAL REpREsENTAT1oN.-Th
principle of proportional representation is ma
king headway both in England and this coun-
try. Upon recent occasion in England,
where an effort was made in the British Par
lament to dispense with this feature in GER
tain case, on the ground that it had not worked
we'll, the objections urged were over-ruled. 1t
was seen that the majority had, in the case
under consideration, over-reached itself in the
effort to grasp more than it was entitled to, and
the principle was re-af1irmed. In this country
the ablest journals, without distinction of par
ty, endorse the measure, and whenever consti-
tutions are to be revised, a popular demand
springs up for the cumulative system of voting.
Recently, in Western Virginia. a large public
meeting was held to bring about convention
to revise the constitution of that State. Among
the objections to the present constitution, the
resolutions adopted mention that the system of
repres .ntation is defective; and that no pro-
vision is made for the principle of minority
representation, which is pronounced lone OF
the most practical and valuable discoveries
which, in modern times, has been made in the
science of popular government" If popular
governments are to be made enduring and to
fulfil the ends for which governments are in
stituted, it must be done through the medium
of some such instrumentality as that contained
in an improved system of voting.-Iheair
