ColInnse of the MOnumentaIs.

In confirmation OF the report which
reached here Tuesday night Of the col,
lapse OF club in Baltimore, the Sun OF
yesterday says:
"The championship game scheduled to
be PLAYED ut Monumental Park yesterday
afternoon between the Monumental and
Harrisburg Clubs, Of the Eastern League,
did not come off, owing to the refusal OF
the men OF the Monumental Club to play.
This action on the part Of the men, they
stated, was taken because they had not re-
ceiyed their salary for month past. They
stated that they should have received their
nav every two weeks. IL was due ON the
ist and 18th instant, but on neither date
was il paid. and they came TO the concll-
sion that they would play no more with
the Club unless their salaries are paid. Mr.

Governor CamerOn's Calm Conclusion Con
cerning the Call for Troops.

Governor CamerOn's Calm Conclusion Con-
corning the Call for Troops.
The interest in the call Of John II. John
ston. Mayor Of Danville, upon the Govern
or for sat least a regiment" OF troops to
preserve peace and prevent bloodshed in
Danyile, had nearly all died out before
Governor William i. Cameron returned to
the city Tuesday night. The people had
learned that only personal difficulty had
occurred, in which negro political leader
OF rampant character had been punished;
that his injuries were by no means fatal,
and that the most that had grown out OF
the fracls was that the Mayor, who is 4
candidate for reelection, had become fright
ened, unnecessarily. and had hallooed be-
fore he or any other person had been hurt.
Governor Cameron arose yesterday morning
early, and gave attention to his official duties.
He seemed much improved by his trip, and
was in excellent spirits. He said, in sub
stance, that he had given Mayor JohnStOn's
telegram careful consideration, and upon
investigation he saw no necessity for
troops in Danvil!e until the civil authori-
ties had exhausted the means at their conf
mand to preserve the peace. This did not
seem TO be the case at all now, everything
i'm the town being quiet. He answered
Johnston by telegraph, expressing this
opinion, and had requested the Mayor to
inform hlm il serious outbreak or violence
took place. This telegram was sent about
1P. n. yesterday. The Governor did not
seem in the least apprehensiye Of any fur
ther trouble In Danville, but should it be
necessary he will not hesitate to act with
promDtness and firmness.

OF the States, for local self-goyernment, for
the principles OF the Union as these were
handed down to us by the fathers OF our
