DISRUPIING THE PARTY.
A New York Republicans Opinion OF the
Fraudulent L~esidents Acts.

WASHINGTON, Juno 7.-The Hon. John NJ.
Davy. mombcr Of tho House in the Forty-fourth
Congress from the Thirteenth New York Dis
trict, is in the city attending to pri,o business.
He says that there is much dissatisfaction
among Republicans in the interior Of New York
over Hnyes's policy. Tho dissatisfaction Is
very deep. notwithstanding everything Is so
quiet on the surface. If State Convention
were to bo called tomorrow. Mr.. Davy is ccr-
tain that II would not be possible to secure an
approval Of Haycs's policy. 1t is almost equally
certain that no resolution Of ccnsure would be
passed. Tho first great cause of dissatisfac-
tion, according TO Mr.. Davy. Is tho Presidents
Southern policy. His Republican friends say
that they doubt its success. but they are willing
TO say nothing until 1t can have fair trial.
This waiting breeds apathy. Davy fears that
the Republican party will lose heavily mt tho
next elections by Republicnns refusing through
llsllrssncss, TO 20 to the polls.
The second cause Of Republican diesatlsfnc-
tion is llaycs's refusing to consult any Of the
old and well-recOgnizcd party leaders in tho
appointment OF important officers. BY this
course he has alenated the leaders who. with
the general distrust Of Hayes's Southern policy
among the Republican musscs. have II IN their
power at the proper time to organize very for
midabe opposition to this Administration. BY
losing good will and concert Of interest among
Republican leaders Hayes will not he able to
get control Of Conventions, and 50 will have to

lost much strength. He selected Evarts for his
Cabinet He IL good man but has no political
following II Davy had been President he
would have given COnk ling control of what
Offices he had desired in New York, rather than

The Old Base-Baller.

The doctors didn't think MT. Wright field could last much longer. He was failing rapidly, and they thought thatin few days he would pass away quietly and painlessly. He was able, on pleas ure days, to be carried out on the sunny porch, where he would sit in his arm- chair, and listen to the shouts that came from the distant baseball grounds, and his eyes would brighten as he heard the old, familiar sounds. Sometimes the boys would come down and talk to him, after the game was over, aud it would make him cheer and happy for hours afterward, and he would chatter about the grand old games they used to have when he was center-feld in the " Wonderfuls," and the season he played behind the bat for the Fearfuls," and the year he was short-stop for the Dreadfuls," and the season he stood at the second base for the "Awfuls." But still he grew no better, and he babbled about the old times, and the new rules and regulations, and mourned over the changes, and wished he was young and strong again, and could play just one more game before he went out forever. 4
 We'll, the boys heard of it, and one Saturday afternoon they went down and laid out the grounds as we'll as they could so as to bring the strikers face right in front of the invalid's chair, and told him they were going to let him play be- hind the bat for both hines in a little practice-game. Well, sir, the old man braced right up, and he made his wife take off his coat, although it was enough to kill him right there, before he would let the ball go to the pitcher. Then they got started at last, and the pitcher tossed him an easy one, and the man at the bat just tickled it enough to make an easy foul ot it, and dropped it rig Int into MT. Wrightfeld's hands: but the old man saw through it and got furious and, when the umpire called, "Out on foul; man to bat" he wouldn't have a bit of it, and yelled at the pitcher as loud as he could with his feeble, quiv- ering voice, "to send lem in red hot, and put twist on 'em." He was not going to play a minute if they was going to baby him, he said, when he had forgotten how to play baseball dozen times be- lore any of them ever saw or heard of the game.
 well, the upsnot or it was, tnAt lhey had to humor him to keep him from going of into a fit of mysteries, and the next ball the pitcher shot in came like meteor, whizzed past the strikers head, and. when the old man took it, it broke two of his fingers. He just yelled with delight, and the boys eyes just stood right out of their heads when he stood right up on his feet. Then they rushed in on him and socked him in the pit of his stomach with brick, hit him on the head with locust club, stepped on his toes, jammed his fingers in the crack of the door, threw dirt in his eyes, kicked him in the shins, and poured aInica all over him. And, if you Il believe it, that man got up the next morning, covered himself in thousand places with court plaster, and went to the office, and has been at work ever since.

What a " Good Fellow" Is.

The word "good "-accerding to the Pittsburg Ledger-is one fitted to sub iects of the widest difference and oppos ing nature, and is finely fitted to illus. trate the fact that the object of words, instead of being the expression of ideas Is really to conceal them. A good ellow is far from being fellow who is good He never has his eye more tkan halt open, is good natured, and as gentle and mild as mouse. He takes "the world and all its hollow crew" pretty much as he finds it, and never contem plates any Improvements in 1t, as tearing to pieces to make it run better, as babies do with watches. The typical good fellow will be sure to agree with you on all subjects, religion, politics, etc. He resembles tame bear, being somewhat clumsy, but capable of being led elsewhere. He will tell you good stories and you will listen to him, and if not he will kindly listen to your bad ones. He will eator drink at any time or place. He will never be the first to break up party, but will sit by until midnight, entirely oblivious of his wife and children. 4 good fellow is quite in his glory when he is either half drunk or asleep. He cares for nothing, but is at everybody's service he bears no resentments, but isobliged to every body but his own fami whose existence he scarcely seems to De aware of. His mind, like his body, seems to have &C., quired chronic habit of quietly sitting down and calmly waiting for the facts '" He is nose of wax, to be pulled or squeezed into any shape, He has no mental or moral character. He is not good man nor bad man, but is a good fellow; he has neither wit or rwisdom, but is good fellow he has done noth- ing that anybody can recollect, but is good fellow in short, complete nonen- tity, hideous failure, but nevertheless a good fellow.
