Tie Oregon senatorship.

SALEM, Ore, Feb. Ex-Governor Moody said
today that he thought he had right to be in
dignant at being placed in doubtful and per-
picking position through the neglect of the Leg
islature to do its duty. He had not yet carefully
examined the law, and SO had not yet definitely
determined what his duty in this emergency
was. But" he added Il think that l shall
appoint. This much, however, is certain; l
shall not appoint senator till there is vacancy,
which does not occur till the 4th of March. 1t
would be impossible for any man whom could
name at that time to arrive in Washington to
attend the executive session, So unless the new
President calls extra session there will be no
need OF new senator until December. | shall
be IN no haste to fill the vacancy"

SIDE ISSUES.

AS we have formerly stated, the
question in this Kingdom is not be-
tween single and double currency
standard. 1t is question of carry
ing out the law establishing the gold
standard. Arguments at this juno
ture against the single standard are
only side issues. At present debt
of over ten dollars cannot be legally
paid in this country except in gold.
The United States has insisted that
duties upon imports from other coun-
tries shall be paid in gold at our
Custom House. The Kingdom pro-
duces no silver, and it may Just as
well have the more convenient and
the more valuable metal for its stan
dard as not. Those who have eX-
change to sell can hold trade at their
mercy with a deprecated coinage,
but with gold as the main circulating
medium they must accept a reasona-
bic rate for drafts. Taking all these
things into consideration, those who
oppose the gold law, either covertly
Or openly, are working against the
material interests of the Kingdom in
a variety of ways. 1t is only legiti-
mate to discuss the question in the
abstract in anticipation of move
ment to repeal the Currency Act at
the next Legislature. If that is the
meaning of those who are opposing
the execution of the measure, the
believers in gold standard should
know it and frame their policy ac-
cordingly. We are convinced that
if the silver men of the United States
continue to have their way, disastrous
results will before long ensue to that
nation. This Kingdom can only pro-
cure immunity from those results by
in the meantime having its affairs es-
tablished upon gold basis.

BASE BALL IN "a.
A Came on the Penobtcot Begun with
a Copper and Ended with a Cop
per.

An Oldtown correspondent of the Bangor
Wing thus describes base ball as it was at
its infancy: The playing of round ball, as
the game was formerly called, but since
changed to "base ball. was then, in 1874,
much in vogue and was an exhilarating and
agreeable amusement, particularly health-in-
MIGRATING to men of sedentary habits.
Some time during that season, discus
sion arose between Samuel Cony, after
ward Governor of the State, and Samuel L.
Hunt, distinguished lumberman upon the
Penobscot, in regard to their respective
merits in the game, which resulted in an
agreement to play match game; each to Sc
lect their crew from the neighborhood, and
play game of fifty scores, upon the Wad-
leigh field, on the side of the Puslaw road.
All questions arising in the game to be set
tied by r. M. Woodman, referee, who al
though one Of the most accomplished players
was not able to take part in the game from
indiSposition.

went on With varied success during the
whole afternoon, until it had become so dark
as to necessitate the stopping of the play,
the score at that time standing, Hunt forty
five and Cony forty, with the advantage of
being in.
The supper was ready and could not be
postponed to another day, and it was not
proper to partake of it until the game was
concluded. In this dilemma the expedient
was adopted of finishing the game by pitch

The meal was partaken of with that relish

friends by saying that his party beat in the

he came in contact with a blackleg who

stance that he had the misfortune to lose
the game.
