the match between the above Clubs on the Pros

Amitys being the winners in each. The Nassaus
were short the second base, catcher ana short
stop, but the latter was well filed by a new player
named Palmer. The Amitys were the first to toe
the plate, and, taking advantage OF the wild
pitching OF Cassidy, made eight runs. In the sec
Ond inning Rogers was substituted as
pitcher. Cassidy acting very poorly as sec

also, and nothing relieved the play only
the good catching OF DO-cher, who played
third base without an error. Brown as first base
only made one error ana the catching OF Thomp-

Prsmi.ed Revival 4. B..i,e...

Our article few weeks since concerning the
revival of trade was followed by quite a general
expression in the press of the country taking a
cheerful view of the business outlook. The panic
in the gsain aaskssssf -eauzss, will have Q sligbt
effect, but il is not probable that its influence
will be lasting or material The heated term has
passed away, and the busy days of the early fall
are upon us. While in some localities and some
branches of business the depression continues with
no bright hopes for the Immediate future, yet
from a larger review Of the whole country the
prospects are much improved. The horizon is
clearing up. The clouds are passing away and
the eDliveniDg sunshine is breaking in.
There are numerous indications that we are ON
the eve Of 3 renewal of commercial and Bercan-
tile activity The foreign dry goods market in
New York has shown fresh life and is doubtless
getting ready for greatly increased trade. Our
crops, now well harvested, have given ms the
foundation of substantial prosperity. Heavy
dealers from the West aud South, counting upor
increased business in theis respective localities
are now in our eastern markets making impor.
tant purchases. The remarkable success of the
five per cent. loan under the management of the
ROthschilds has strengthened our credit TO no
small extent, and given additional confidence in
the sonndShess OF our finances. The domestic ex-
port trade, In all the staple items has largely ex
panded, while the balance of trade and increased
importation of specie are working in oar faver
Money is eyerywh here easy, and readily obtain
able on satisfactory security. The safe and ex-
tremely prudent manner of conducting business
since the panic has put every one in excellent
shape. There is small indebtedness to hamper
trade or to lead to fresh reyulsions. The hand
to mouth system adopted last fall, and continued
almost up to this time has resulted in the clear
ing up Of ledger accounts aud in the wiping out
Of debts. The eheapness of food, assured by our
b0untiful crops, Is pretty sure sign in the minds
Of economists Of good times. Even the iron trade
which has suffered so severely'of late, has prom
Use of better days almost Immediately, if we may
judge from the views entertained by the Phila-
delphia papers.
Confidence Is certainly returning. Men are
everywhere looking and expecting good times
Business has had long holiday Of rest, aud If
there is any reliance in the signs of the times we
are destined to speedily enter upon an era Of re-
newed prosperity. y.-Afodsy Eoenias Journal

A Lively Chase.

The Office had frightful time seeking the man
at the "RefOrm" Congressional Convention, held
at Ottawa Oh Thursday of last week. The candi-
dates hunted for by the Office were Sid Clarke
and Sam Riggs, of Douglas; Judge Stevens, per
ry's friend) from Miami; John Boyd of ,Montgo-
merry; Judge McCOmas, of Bourbon, and Judge
j. r. Goodin, of Allen. 1t will be perceived that
Office had chased all these fellows before. Three
of them had been captured and hal the title of
Judge" fastened to their names; enc was some
years ago fairly driven into Congress; one had
been United States District Attorney, and one
had sat for few days in the State Legislature
The Office first made dead set ut all these and
followed them through eight ballots when Nc
Comas escaped. On lhe tenth ballot Stevens was
let out, and the Office "toOk after" John Boyd,
whO on the eleventh ballot, by a desperate effort,
succeeded in getting away, when Gov. Robinson
was turned into the arena. 1t looked as if he
was in danger for awhile, but he got away unin-
jured, ard the Office finally collared Judge John
X. GOOdn, who was declared the nominee. This
long and arduOus search of the Office for the man
was eDlivened by series Of rows When Robin
sou was put in nomination., Clarke had a party
named Mills ready to put in" about the Sturges
treaty, aud then Robinson and Clarke were al
lowed to take the floor and demOsh each other
after the manner of the Kilkenny cats. Both
were as dead as door nails when the debate EN-
ded. The Office will probably never hunt either
of them again. John Boyd was put up to make
speech and then hOoted down, and will hide
where no Office will find him hereafter, and that
is The way the Office sought the man at Ottawa.

ScRIBNER's MONTHLY FOR 0cTOBER.-ScribHer's
Monthly for October opens with another muni6-
Gently illustrated "Great South" paper by Ed
ward King entitled, ''Down the Mississippi-the
labor Observation-Disclosures; it contains much
picturesque description, and practical informa-
tion. The important essay of this number is a
very careful study of George Elot's novels, by
w. C. Wilkinson. Mr.. Nadal, formerly with Mr..
Motley in London, and now literary editor of the
AN. Y. Evening Post" has charming sketch Of
Oxford. Mr.. Cable, the New Orleans story-writ-
er, gives us another characteristic sketch of life
in the American Paris; his present story, "'Tite
Poulette," is highly dramatic and exciting.
"Katherine Earle" and '0rjronnaux" are con-
cluded; (Katherine Earle will be published in
book form by Lee and Shepard), and Jules
Vernes mysterious Island" is continued. Then
we have "a Royal Hair-Cutting," "San Remo,"
''The Rose of Carolina" !" "Old Time Music" &c.

about Mr.. Beecher, the present theological out

Stamps

The receipt book will be retained at the Post.
Office, where the newspapers will be weighed.
The stubs of the receipt book will serve as me-
moranda to the Post-Office of sums paid, from
which returns to the General Department are
made. The stamping of papers in bulk will not
require more than four stamps of different de-
nominations to make up the amount of postage
paid by the publishers on any package, whstev-
er that amount may he. Even on q ton Of news
paper matter, on which the postage will be $40,
only the four stamps will be required to make
up the amount Of postage paid. This stamp sys-
TEN has been devised, as the act OF Congress re-
quires the use of adhesive stamps. The stamps
will be affixed to the stub of the receipts by the
Post-ofhee clerk, and then cancelled.
Thus the publisher will be saved the trouble of
buying and afixing stamps. After the law goes
into effect, he will simply take his receipts and
hold them as evidence that the postage was paid.
General Barbour expects to save by this system
of payment thousands of dollars to the Treasury
Department every year, besides saving the de-
partment and publishers much labor. He has
exhibited the plan to Postmaster General Jewell,
who approves it in every respect. When the de-
tails are completed, a circular will be issued by
the department explaining the system, copies of
which will he forwarded to the newspaper, and
to the four Thousand po.tmasters Throughout the
States, and on the 1st of January next the change
will be nade.-Nee York Horid

The ysse or the state.

We have, as yet, seen DO statement of the vote
of Kansas, by Congressional Districts, in 1872.
The people at that time voted for three Congress
men at large. The State was not divided into
Congressional Districts until last winter. In
1872 Judge ID. p. Lowe, Col. w. A. Phillips and
Col S. A. Cobb were the Republican candidates,
and Hon. S. A. Riggs, Gen. r. b. Mitchell and W.
r. Laughlin the Liberals and Democratic cardi-
dates Judge Lowe received the largest vote on
the Republican ticket, and Mr.. Riggs the largest
vote on the Liberal Democratic ticket, the for
mer having o., 400 votes, and the latter 81, ,450
votes. The Republican majority two years ago
was, therefore, 32'950.
We have been looking over the official canvass
of the returns for 1862, and have made up, for
the information of our readers, the following ia
bles, showing how the vote was divided, at that
time, in the three Congressional Districts as at
present formed. We take the vote for Judge
Lowe and Mr. Riggs as the basis Of our calcua
tiOns. In the First District it was divided as
follows:
