We do not think it proper for

Tho maadlin display of virtuous
indignation by the radical press
North, called forth by Spencer, of
Alabama, fol. his shortcomings du-
ring the election in that Stato, in
1872; bis use of troops, Marsbal's,
&C., is quite refreshing, but at the
came time hardly "thick" enough to
""take ide any, save the most gulla-
bic. Spencer is a horror; a demon
in human form, and for such conduct
as arresting innocent men and steal
ing government bacon, which he is
sued to the faithful to secure his own
election, demands immediate action,
and he should forthwith, be expelled
from the Senate. Of course, Cavalry
raids through Louisiana, marching
troops into q State house and des
troying q State government, to say
nothing Of the "Midnigbt order," the
swindling Of a Returning Board, are
things Of much minor importance to
the sn-American manner in which
Spencer acted to secure his seat in
tho u S. Senate, and give his vote
to his friends. Of course expell spen-
cor, and give Mat Wells the Survey

THE BAL-PLAYER'S CRIME.

brutally beaten with a base ball club by John
Barrett, In West HoDoken. on Sunday evening,
stIn lies In O precarious condition, In the house
OF his slster-nlaw, on weenawken street.
Throughout yesterday he had occasional CLEANS
of consciousness but not to sufficient extent to
understand the cruel onslaught that was made
upon him. The swelling OF his head subsidized
somewhat. and he threw up less blood, but tue
pains incident TO the fracture have travelled to-
the throat where much clotted blood accumu-
lates. Medical AID was freely rendered him, and
his relatives kept constant watch over him.
There are little or no hopes yet entertained OF his
recovery. Barrett, MS aSsaiant, stole homo at n
late hour on sunday night but escaped thence
carly yesterday morning, and had not been seen
py any OF tho authorities up to late hour last
night. lt IL thought that ne will seek refuge
among his pals In New York until the fate OF the,
victim OF his rage Is definitely known. The
authorities VIII take means for securing him, no
