Base Ball Ohan,pionship

The third week of the base ball champion
ship series resulted in uninterrupted victories
for both the Chicago and the Providence cham
pions, the former having scored three succes>
sive games against the Clevelands, while the
champions opened the week with forfeited
postponed game from Troy, which was follow
ed up by scoring three victories over the Bos-
tons, besides playing game of eleven innings
with that club ending in draw. The Wor-
cesters, which stood next to Chicago, with two
of last week, while retaining their position of
second, have lost in percentage, having most
unaccounrably dropped two games to the
Troys, with Saturdays game, if played, unre-

sPECULATINa ON THE RESULT AT CHICAGO.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON May 23.-The anti. Grant meu
here challenge the members of the Senatorial
syndicate to show where the ex-President can
secure within week votes enough to nominate
him on the first ballot, and Republicans who
are opposing the third term movement point
with significance to the fact that thus far Gen.
Grants friends have not obtain, d for him q
single vote from free State bet" cen the Alle-
ghanies and the Pacific ocean except from ILL.,
nois. Even conoeding the solid vote of New
York, Pennsylvania and Illinois to Grant, the
ex-President would then have in the north but
10 votes to secure nomination on the hrst
ballot, and he would be compelled to obtain
209 of the 276 votes of the Southern States.
THE ANTI GRANT MEN
claim that they already have secured much
more than half of The Southern votes. Blsine's
friends insist that eighty of the Southern votes
are certain for him, without counting single
doubtful delegate, while Sherman's friends
make positive claim to an equal number of
the Potomac and Ohio rivers. Give Grant one
half of the Southern votes, with the solid dele
cations of New York, Pennsylvania aud Illi-
neis, and by the figuring here, he still will lack
seventy votes of nomination on the first bal
lot. Deduct from New York the l3 Blaine and
Sherman votes, winch GranG certainly
will not receive on the first ballot,
and from the Pennsylvania delegation the
nineteen men who are openly committed
against a third term, and General Grant will
lack IS more votes, or total OF l3S votes of
nomination on the first ballot. As every vote
taken from the solid vote of Pennsylvania and
New York counts two against Grant on the first
ballot the 81 votes which he is certain to lose
in New York and Pennsylvania make 68 votes
to be added to the 70 which he lacks for the
first ballot, not counting Colorado, Louisiana
or Idaho, which have to elect 24 delegates.
AN INDEPENDENT ESTIMATE.
A judicial examination of the returns shows
the following result: Grant 300 votes, SO short
of a majority. Blaine 277, which is 102 short
of majority. Sherman has 106 votes, Ed
munds Sc, Washburne Is and Window 10.
These totals differ widely from the estimates Of
the different candidates, but they have been
obtained after careful examination, and in
many instances are based upon the personal as
surances of the delegates themselves.

COnkGi,sa's Game to Secure Minnesota for
Grant.
Washington Special MAY 20)sCincinneti Eu-
quirer.
For Blaiue the week has been a bad one out
side of Illinois as well as in it. The decision
of Minnesota to support Senator Window as a
favorite son is decided set back for Blaine.
It means simply that Conkling has succeeded
in carrying out to success plan formed more
than year ago, whereby he has broken
Blaine's strength in the Northwest, and taken
from him absolutely a State which has been
accounted absolutely as solid for the Maine
statesman Window is Conkling's trump
card, and he has played him at the
right time. More than a year ago
OOnkling decided that Window was the
right man to use to cheekmate Blaine, and he
has used him successfully. The plan was
simple one. It consisted in merely injecting
Window with the Presidential itch. in giving
him to understand that in the event Grants
friends failed to secure the nomination for the
general, they would take up Window aud give
him the nomination. In other words, he was
told by Oonkling that he had been selected
as the second choice Of the Grant men. Win
dom swallowed the bait readily, and has will
ingly and effectively aided Oonkling in his
plan to overthrow Blaine. The first and most
necessary step, of course, was to get Minnesota
to pnt Window forward as Presiden-
tial candidate. This step has been taken sue
cessfully, and Window will not only be put
forward, but if necessary will be kept forward
through any number of ballots, because Mime
sofa understands that Windom's only chance is
in being supported steadily by Minnesota un-
til Grant is either nominated or withdrawn.
BY this shrewd maneuver Blaine will lose the
entire vote of Minnesota, and Grant loses notE-
ing, because he had no votes in Minnesota. In
Nebraska Blaine has also Jared badly He has
counted on Nebra ks as one of his sure States,
but Senator Paddock said to-day that the
Nebraska delegation would be mixed and unin-
strueted, and that Grant would have come

South Carolina's Increase 43
Per Cent.
From The News and Courier.
JOHN BRATToN, Chairman,

The increase in the population of
South Carolina during the last ten
years, as shown by the census, is most
gratifying to the people of the State.
It shows that, making the requisite
allowance for omissions in 1870, the
State is steadily eniarging its popu-
.lation, and that, as the representation
in Congress is in proportion to the
population as a<certained by the Gen.
sus, the number of Congressman from
South Carolina will not be diminished.
We are quite willing that there should
be a recount in South Carolina if it
will crafty or satisfy the Radical or
gans. and we would make no other
condition than that there should be two
euumerators for each district, one of
them Democrat and the other Re-
publican. We have entire confidence
in the substantial accuracy of the
the census, though it shows an enor-
nous increase, and we have no desire
to claim credit for a larger population
than the State has. According to
the returns made TO US of the results
of the late census, the population of
South Carolina is as follows S-
