BILLIARD MATCH.
SlOssOn VS.. Schaefer.

New YORK, October 23.-A billiard
match between George SlOssOn, OF New
York, and Jacob Schaeier, of Chicago,
far a stake of 81 900, was commenced in
Madison Square Garden, tonight. Some
two thousand persons were present.
The game consists of 5000 points, 900
to be played each evening, the game TO
he resumed from the position in which
the balls were left by the player in
hand. SlossOn won the lead and scored
5, and was followed by Schaefer, who
made the same number. Both men
seemed nervous and cautious. On the
sixth inning, Schaefer, by few skiiliul
shots, gathered the balls under
the rail and moved them quickly
around. He was loudly cheered
as he turned his first and second hun
dred, and finished the run with 2l2
points. In the next inning, he added
SIS more points. In the 9th inning,
Slosson, by some brilliant playing, ad-
ded ll5 points to his score, and this
seemed to encourage him, for in the
next inning he again gathered the balls
and added "A more to his score. The
score at the end OF the tenth inning
stood Slosson, 354; Schaefer, $50.
Schaefer added 200 and 81 to his score,
making his total 624 to SlOsson's 497.
Siosson went to work with a will, and by
some brilliant draw around the table
and masse shots, gathered the balls
under the lower rail and started on a
long run. He managed the ivories deity
and was frequently applauded. The
balls froze on the 294th shot and were
spotted, but he counted and added a
brilliant run of 365 10 his score. The
game then stood, Slosson, S62; Schaefer,
625. Schaefer wore a determind look
as he approached the table, and quickly
took advantage of the opening left him
by his opponent. He scored rapidly,
and soon the marker called out 100, 200,
$50 and 800, and 800, and each an
nouncement was greeted with cheers.
He ran out the first 900 points of the
game with $40 points, leaving Slosson
at So. The winners average was
80 1919.

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL'S
DEBTS.
The Plan for His Relief Not Full
filling ExpectatiOns-What the
Churches are Doing.

NEw YORK, October 2l.-NOtwith-
standing the favorite circumstances at
tending the setting forth, soon after the
dedication OF the Cathedral, Of the gen
eral plan for the relief of Archbishop
Purcell, Of Cincinnati, IL Is now believ
ed that the result in this city will fall
far short Of the more hopeful expecta-
tons. OF the one hundred and fifty
churches in this diocese about one hun
dred and ten have sent in their contri-
buttons, and il is expected that the rest
will be heard from within three weeks.
IL is impossible 10 get the exact figures,
the Church authorities declining % fur
nish them at present, bat from such in
formation as can be gained the subscrip-
tions will not average more than $500 a
church. or $4,000 in all. Many of the
churches are poor and but little could
be expected of them, but il is believed
that the immense amount of the debt
and the seeming impossibility Of paying
IL, coupled with feeling that the bur
den ought not to be imposed on the
shoulders OF those who already have
loads to carry, have'much TO do with
this result.

u. s. SUPREME COURT.
Cincinnati Election Case.

WASHINGTON, October 23.-No. 6, orig
inal erDarte, Augustus +. Clark, peti-
toner. The argument was commenced
by ATTORNEY General Devens in opposl-
ton 10 thepetition, and by Geo. HOad-
lev for the petitioner. The petitioner
in this case, who was, in 1878, one oi
the Judges of an election for certain
precinct in the city of Cincinnati, was in
dicted in the U. S. Circuit Court for the
Southern district of Ohio, for the viola
ton of the duty imposed by the laws OF
the State on him as such judge in the
Congressional election held in October
of that year. At the February term,
1879, of said court he was tried
and convicted upon the indlet-
ment, and sentenced to twelve months
Imprisonment and to pay fine
of 5000 and costs. He now petitions
this Court for a discharge upon writ OF
habeds c0rDl. on the ground that the
statutory provisions under which ne
was inflicted were invalid and the UNI
ted Safes had no jurisdiction in the
premises. 1t is here maintained by the
counsel in behalf of the petitioner that
the Circuit Court was without jurisdic-
ton, for the reason that although viO-
lation OF duty imposed by State may
be an offense cognizable under the au-
thoriiy of State, it can never be crime
coenizable under the authority OF the
United States, as it ought TO be under
Article 3, section of the
Constitution, in order to give
the Federal court jurisdiction.
1t is admitted that Congress may, under
article /, section of the Constitution,
alter the regulation prescribed by
State legislature relative to the manner
OF holding elections for Representatives,
but since the regulation has been altered
it remains State law, and does not be-
come Federal regulation. 1t must be
enforced by State and not Federal
agencies. All that Congress has done,
however, in section 5,5l5 of the Re-
vised Statutes is to add a penalty for a
violation of the States own regulation,
and this, the counsel maintains, is un-
constitutional, because it obviously
exceeds the power vested by
by the Constitution in the Federal Gov
ernment. The punishment for vio-
latiOn of the law Of Ohio cannot, in the
nature of things, be the means Of en-
forcing obedience to any Federal statute.
1t is argued furthermore that section
5,5l5 of the Revised Statutes is uncOn-
sttutional, because it attempts to pun
ish State officers for official acts and
omissions. State officers as such can
not, it is claimed, be required to per
form federal duties, or be punished for
their non-performance. In behalf OF the
United States it is argued: First-That
Congress has the full and unqualified
power to regulate the manner of hold
ing elections for members thereof. Sec
ond-That this power includes the au
thority to adopt whatever measures
may be deemed necessary or expedient
in conducting such elections and deter
mining the results thereof. Third
That Congress can punish any violation
of the laws enacted or adopted under
the aforesaid power.

SPAIN.
Abolition Of Slavery.

MADRID, October 23.-A bill for the
abolition OF slavery in Cuba, TO be pre-
sented to the Cortes, provides that slaves
aged 81 years and over shall become free

$780, those aged 45 in 1882, those aged
40 in 1884; those aged 35 in 1886; those
aged 80 in 1888, and all others in 1890.
From 1880 one hundred Thousand pias-
tres will be charged on the Cuban budget,
for defraying the expenses of emancipa-
ton. Three hundred and fifty piastres
will be paid the owners for each slave.
The government will, as much as
possible, favor immigration OF free labor
ers. The Committee on Reforms in
Cuba has unanimously approved OF the
bill providing that the trade between
Spain and Cuba shall only pay coasting
duties, which shall be reduced one
third from the lst of July, 1880, and en-
tirely abolished in 1888 in favor OF mod
crate differential duty. The bill also
proposes to reduce by one-third for the
period of three years the duties on ar
ticles for consumption imported into
Cuba. and TO establish relations with
the United States with view OF devel-
oping the Spanish maritime trade be-
tween Cuba. Porto Rico and the United

Great Increase in Exchanges OF Principal

This splendid record Of exchanges, sur
passing in rapidity of increase that of

ably for a much longer time, is a
sufficient answer to all doubts
as 10 the solidity and reality Of
the improvement Of business. Only two
cities out of nineteen show any decrease
in the amount Of exchanges. Six cities,
and among them several OF the largest,
show gains of more than fifty Percentum.
and nine report gains OF mere than
forty per cent. The increase az new New,
York is in part due to the speculative
operations. both in stocks and in grain,
but the increase at other cities IS large
