The Boston Club, second in the race for the
League pcnnant, will arrive this morning and
ut $3.50 o'clock this afternoon play tho Nationls
on the grounds of the latter. This is one of
the finest teams that belong to the League.

der aud Houck-and their friends will be
anxious to see them play. In all probability
Snyder will catch for Lynch in one if not
both games. By the way, the Bostons have
made an offer to Lynch and Trott to accom-
pany them ON their trip to California, but
whether they will accept or not is yet I'M
known. The proposition is not one of very
great advantage to tho players and it will be
difficult for thom to get more than their actual
expenses out of it.

GEN. WILLIAM T. SHERMAN met
with rebuff where he had not ex-
peeted it perhaps, and from a source
that must cause him great pain.
Wade Hampton, jr., a son of his
father Wade H., ST., publishes a
card in the Charleston NeaOs and
Courier to correct the truth of a
report that he had so far forgotten
his ehiValrous birth as to attend a
ball given in honor of the Yankee
General at Jacksonville, Fla. He
draws himself up to his full height
and exclaims with Indignation:
"I would certainly have avoided
meeting the man who was guilty Of
the cruelty OF burning Columbia, and
the coRardiee Of denying it."
The ehivalrous w. H., jr., doubt
less experienced a sense of relief af-
ter this, and General Sherman has
experienced asense of unimportance
and manners that he never expert
enced before. Just imagine how
the great and good HamAtOn family
would have been disgraced had
Wade, jr., attended this ball as was
reported he did.

THOSE EIGHT HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY-FIVE BONDS.

In the evidence of Gen. ]. A.
Mabry before the committee to in
Testigate the State debt. as pub>
lished in this paper several days ago,
will be found the following
Question. Did you have q contract
with Nancy in regard to any bonds for
your services with the Governor In
getting him to issue the bonds to the
Tennessee & Pacific; if 60, what
was it?
Answer. l did. / was to be COM
pensated in addition TO having the use
Of 100 or more bonds for my services
In getting the Governor to issue the
last batch OF SIS bonds to the Tennes
see & Pacific Road.
Q. What services did you render, or
what argument did you use with the
Governor to induce him 10 nr'it the
issuance OF this batch OF bond
A. / am satisfied that induced him
TO issue them, but can not now remem-
Der what arguments [ used. / used
no other means except my person al
arguments and peTsOn=l influence with
him.
Q. Did you use any money or other
thing of value?
A. [ did not.
z Was wine, whisky, brandy,
champagne or any kind Of drink or
drug or intoxicating influence of any
manner or such used upon the Cover
nor to induce him 10 iseue thett
bonds?
A. Not that 1 know of. 1 did Lot
use anything Of the kind.
We are surprised to near that
some persons have construed this as
referring to Gov. BroWnlow. No
one who ever knew him at all could
have failed to know that he was
very temperate in his habits,
and never INDUCED in wine, brandy
or intoxicating drinks Of any kind,
as a beverage. But We are not sur
prised at anything ignorance or
malice will invent. The question
as to these 885 bonds may have
been purposely left open in order
that those not posted might infer
that Gov. Grownlew issued them.
But such is not the truth. Gov.
BrownloW did not issue them, and
had no more to do with it than had
the man in the moon. They were
issued after he had gone out Of
Office by his successor, Gov. Senter,
and whether lawfully or unlawfully,
he was not responsible. If the
committee and some of its witnesses
had been as intent upon fair
ness and justice to indiv'd-
usls as they were upon
sustaining the position assumed by
Gov. Marks in his dema gogical
message, there would have been nc
need for this explanation. Gov
Brownlow has passed through the
fires of persecution before and since
his death. He has been pnrsaed
with all the venom of malignant
hate and sneaking cowardice, both
in his life and since his death, but
he has emerged from it all, pure
gold. lie has not even the smell
of FIRE upon his garments. Now
rs before, the univer verdict 10,
without regard to party lines, thai
he was a pure, honest, upright
man.
