BALL AND BAT-The base ball
season is over, and the Boston club
claims the league championship.
The professional contests began in
1871, and the Athletics received the
pennant that year. The Bostons
then stepped to the front, and sue
cessively won the pcnnaut in 1872,
1873, 1874, and 1875. In 1876,
owing to the secession of Barnes,
Spalding, McVoy and White to the
ranks of the Chicagos, the latter
won. This year fortune has smiled
again Oil the Reds, though at ono
time tho Louisville Greys were
ahead, and were confident OF victory.
They swept everything before them
out West, but two or three defeats,
East, demoralized them, and thoy
fell to second place. The last report
Of tho games, with two or three vet
to noar from, gives Boston, games
won, 81, lost, II; Louisville, won,
27, lost, 10; Hartford, won, q, lost,

LIE Ball AT TIE FA1R-Judrinn
from an account in the Columbia
.Rcgister, thc ball Of the South
Carolina Club, to tabe place in that
city during Fair week, is to be quite
a grand affair. Here is what the
Register says about it:
The South Carolina Club, once an
immense institution in itself, but
which, after lying dormant for Il
long while, was roorganized lust
before the Inauguration of Governor
Hampton, and SO successfully man
aged the inauguration ball given in
honor of tho Governor, have in
charge tho management of the
grand ball which is to be given
during tho State Fair. we have
assurances from the gentlemen of
the committee who have the matter
in charge That the inaugural ball
wasn't a circumstances to the affair
they propose to successfully pilot
through at the State Fair. The
INVITATIONS arc being printed, and
will be sent to many hundreds of
people who were not present on tic
last occasion, but who, it is thought,
will attend the contemplated ball,
which is to be upon a much larger
and grandor scale. Get out your
spiko-tail coats and lavender kids,
old boys, and young ones, too; it's
to be Il big thing.

ALMoTA.-The Palouse GG;ettee says
of Almota: This fourishing young
town is situated on the Snake river, Il
miles from Colfax and about 81 miles
below Lewiston The country sur
rounding it, though considerably broken,
is unequaled for fertility, and no coun-
try is better adapted to stock raising.
Like all other places on Snake river,
fruit OF all kinds does well, the climate
being much warmer and the seasons
earlier than III localities away from the
river We have seen and heard of
towns growing up in one night, in the
oil fields of Pennsylvania, but 1t Is
doubtful if ever town has made more
rapid strides than Almota. When the
writer landed from the boat at this
place in the month of June last, not
more than three buildings could be
seen. To-day, there is quite an appear
ance of village and commercial air
about it that indicates a substantial and
permanent prosperity. Paine Bros ~

Among the acts passed by the last

laws, and 1000 copies of the road laws,
in pamphlet form. The Secretary to
distribute them to the various county

ready for distribution in about one
month.

Yakima.

The fertile valleys of Yakima county
are beginning to be appreciated. Kit
titass, the principal settlement in the
county, is putting in large crops this fall.
They propose to ship their products to
Portland via the Columbia River. \
good wagon road, thirty miles in length,
has been constructed TO Priest Rapids,
where steamboats, will ply next fall.
There is a fine future in store for this
region. 1t is destined to become one
of the most important farming centers
in eastern Washington Territory. The
Valley drained by the Yakima river
and its tributaries, is of the most fer
tile land, of which a large quantity is
vacant and awaiting settlement.

Death and Treason in the
L. $. Senate.

The present political complexion of
the United States Senate, is revealed
by the following telegram which ap-
peared in last Saturdays Oregonian:
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The Inter Ocean's
Washington says: Death and treason
have so reduced the Republican major
ity in the Senate, that yesterday for
the first time since March, 1861, it was
In the grasp of one man. In the alb
sence of Sharon, the Republican major
ity is three. Patterson left to avoid
voting, and Conover voted with the
Democrats on the proposition for an
executive session in a bold, loud "aye"
that caused an interchange of express
sive looks around the chamber Con-
over Patterson and DAVIS will vote
with the Democrats, and Butler will
be seated, but not this session, as the
ten days will be exhausted in debate.
Senators Cameron and Christiancy
have ready their review of Buffers
record as a negro murderer, and will
now present it as from the committee
who went to South Carolina last win
ter. One of their facts which should
vitiate Buffers election is, that the as
sembly which elected him, had only
seven members. Patterson's excuse for
voting with the Democrats is that their
persecution of him will stop. Con
overs excuse is sad commentary on the
Presidents policy, and it is that he
owns property in Florida and dare not
90 back there to live upon it unless he
does something to counteract his record
as a radical, and conciliate the Demo
Gratis This will be called to the atten-
tion of President Hayes. Gordon and
Lamar, the men he counsels with, are
men who thus threaten Conover. This
vote will have more effect in harmonic
ing Republicans among themselves and
with The President than dozen caucus
es. Conover said last night he would
not reconsider his vote but would act
no further with the Democrats. He
was under personal obligations to vote
for Butler.

At a meeting of the Senate COM

luton, which was agreed to by strict

Resolred, That this committee re-

lawfully entitled to a seat in the u.

a seat therein; and that the chairman
of this committee is directed to pre-
pare and present to the Senate re-
port accordingly.
The minority will submit a report
declaring Judge Spofford entitled to
