Notes and GOssip.

Yesterday afternoon, the Quicksteps, of
this city, met the Stars, of Covington, KY,
at the Rodney street grounds, in the pres
ence of q large and enthusiastic audience.
The audience greeted every good play Oh
either side with great applause.
The game started at 8 O'Clock with the
home club at the bat, and from the start
the game promised to be very loose one
on the part of the Amateurs, while the
Covington boys played with but few errors,
muffs and overthrows being numerous for
the Amateurs. This was owing no doubt to
the heat, and to having played in the morn
ing with the CampbelPs of Philadelphia.
The "Kentucks' won the game by the
following score:

MONETARY UNIFICATIoN WITH GREAT
BRITAIN.

The bill introduced by Senator Sherman,
proposing convention between this coun-
try and Great Britain for the purpose of
unifying the gold coinage system of the
two countries by the introduction of a
common monetary unit, will no doubt at
tract much attention from monetary stu
dents, and much opposition on the part of
the adherents of the metrical system. Con-
si3cIiDg our great commercial and social
relations with Great Britain, it seems but
proper that the first step towards harmo-
nizing money terms and values should be
taken with that Government. By the
measure proposed the money OF account
in each country shall be the dollar, con-
tanning % 10 grains of standard metal, or
90 G-1O grains of pure gold. Taking the
present sovereign of Great Britain, which
contains about 113 grains of pure gold, the
quantity of pure metal in the proposed dol.
lar is evidently made to conform to the
quantity of pure metal contained in one
fifth of the sovereign or pound sterling,
and the five dollar piece would therefore
corrt spond to the pound sterling of Great
Britain. Without entering at the present
into the merits of the proposed new coin,
the idea seems to possess some advantages,
and should be carefully considered by the
present Congress. 1t is an important step
in the right direction, and may eventually
lead TO the adoption of a common unit and
money of account and greatly simplify ex-
changes between the two countries.

THE PENSION LAWS

Section 4709 of the Revised Statutes,
page 925, enacts that pensions for services
since March 4, 1861, "shall commence
"from the death or discharge of the per-
"son on whose account the claim has been
cor is hereafter granted, or from the ter
"mination of the right OF the party having
"prior title to such pension provided, the
application for such pension has been or
els hereafter filed with the Commissioner
"of Pensions within five years after the
fright thereto has accrued otherwise the
"pension shall commence from the date of
"filing the last evidence necessary to estab-
"lish the same. But the limitation herein
prescribed shall not apply to claims by
cor in behalf Of insane persons and chill
"dren under sixteen years"
Ii is now found that the above quoted
proviso has debarIcd large numbers of
worthy and innocent applicants who were
unaware of this fve-year limit, and who
have now no recourse but application to
Congress for relief by special enactment.
There arc now from three to five hundred
such cases before the House Committee on
Pensions, and examination has developed
the fact that nearly all these cases are of
that class of persons who disdained to
apply for or receive Government aid until
compelled to it by misfortune and neces-
sity. EIany of them looked upon pension
ers as but little better than the Clowns
POOR and abhorred the idea Of soliciting
that assistance to which they knew they
were legally entitled until the hard times
growing out of the financial revulsion COM
PEELED them for want of employment to de-
mand their just dues. Upon filing their
applications they were first made aware of
the five years limitation in the above pro-
viso, and that no arrears could be realized
through the Pension Office. The result is
these hundreds of private bills with which
the committee is now deluged.
After much consideration of the sub
ject the committee have arrived at the con-
clusion that it will be impossible to pass
the number Of private bills necessary to do
justice to these meritorious cases, and they
have it in contemplation to recommend a
general act extending the present limit Of
five years sufficiently to cover them. They
see no other method that promises to be so
efectual in melting out equal and exact

Statement OF Facts In the Case OF ths Gov
srnment VI. the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road.
We make the following extract from q PAM
phlet of thirteen pages Just published by Gap
ain F. G. Adams.
As Congress did not know the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad on the property, Of course the Sec
retsry Of War could not recognize its claim to
very we'll that as soon as the property changed
hands and became private property the question
as to the value Of that portion Of It used BY the

in advertising the property for sale, the officers
were very particular in describing the bound.

The railroad is not SO much as mentioned.
About two weeks before the sale took place sew
ersl Of the officers Of the railroad made thorough
% Tine On
that the Government could not give q good and
valid title to the property. Similar reports got
disposed to purchase the property. In nearly
every instance these damaging reports were SET
company. You could not mistake the object for
which these reports were put in circulation.
The sale tsoK place on the 3oth Of November,
1862 and was under the direction Of John p. Kel.
Ter, chief clerk of the ordnance office, War De-
partment. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
represented by Mr.. John L. Wilson, its master
Of Transportation, who, with Mr.. Randolph, its
chief engineer, had been two days at the Ferry
previous to the sale.
the property with the opinion Of an ex-Attorney
General before me, or rather to guide me, and
with full understsnding that the road had no
legal rights there, and must pay Tor Whstever
1t occupied rs soon as the property passed into
private hands. The railroad company, too, was
well aware Of Its own status on the property.
The best proof Of this may be found In the fact
that II bid $I5 900 for property Its agent Mr. Jno
l. WILSON, had described only the day before not
worth more than thirty or forty thousand. In
addition to this, am informed, on very good au-
tbority, that the company took legal advice on
the subject of their agreement with Secretary Of
War Poinsett, and were told that 1t would be
void as soon as the property changed hands, un-
less the Government could be got to make reser.
walton. 1t is clear, therefore, that We both bid
understandingly.
1 have been thus particular In regard to the
abCve point because It has been claimed by oer.
tain Of the railroad companys officers that an un-
fair advantage was taken Of them; that they were
not properly informed rs to the view the Govern
ment took Of their position on the property. THIS
is certainly very novel claim for great and

The resurrectionists recently went down into

when they got there it was discovered that he

and had risen and continued his journey to-
| wards home.
Come to think of it, why should the one
hundredth year of our national existence make
treason less odious than it was in the s5th
wear? Is not the Union as precious now as
then! Are not our republican institutions
| quite as sacred? Is not the Constitution
worth as much Yes, but gush is cheaper,
| and there is the leak.
| The recent amnesty debate has dispelled
| the mystery which shrouded the animus of
the Confederate Brigs in Congress, and it
| stands unveiled in its repulsive exposure. All
| the Republicans need do now is to occasionally
| stir up the animals in the Democratic me-
nagerie, for they are clearly beyond the con-
troll of their keepers, and cannot be restrained
| from exhibiting their true inwardness.
In their apparent anxiety to investigate the
War Department it might be proper and we'll
timed to remind the Democracy that a leading
member of their party took large amount of
ordnance and munitions of war south in 1880,
! for which he never accounted to the General
| Government OF course it was all used to
destroy the Union; but, then, 1t might be re-
placed by spirit of loyalty on the part of
| Floyd's friends.
/ General Beauregard sets a very good ex-
ample to his ex-Confederate companions by
applying for pardon. If his superior, Mr..
Davis, had taken this wise course the strong
unfavorable sentiment against full amnesty
would undoubtedly have been greatly modified.
But he feels as Ben. Hill did a few months
ago, when he said that che would rather see
his name on the roll of the prisoners in the
Georgia penitentiary than among the list of
