The Rev. ;. a, Steele, Of Memphis,
Meth"IlstJ takes strong grounds III
his defence tor NOT uniting with other
ministers III iaror,and tor the success
OF, the charity bali recently given III
that city, ana suggests a substitute Tor
such benevolent contributions thai l.
inuch more sensible and more iii &C
COrdanCe with church rules. lie says
that there should be q permanent
commission authorized to take charge
vi ali the aims and charities intended
Tor the INDECENT ana needy, to hunt
them up and to distribute to them as
necessity demands and quantity pro-
Nldes, We agree with Mr.. Steele in
ms suggestion for several reasons.
First, this would save christian peo-
PIE from violating their cOnsciences
by indirectly aiding in what they
term very dangerous if not immoral
ADJUSTMENTS, or seem cold and inditf-
erent to the needs of a large class OF
people over whom the benevolent
eagis Of the church is, by authority of
its divine founder, extended. By this
means every church could put forth
its quota Of gifts, or each individual
contribute what he pleased. This
commission could at the same time
utilize to the best advantage what
ever amounts charitable people not
in the church-from whom at last the
great bulk of aims would come, be-
cause of their greater numbers and,
perhaps, greater wealth. Oftentimes
those who need most and suffer most
in times Of distress, get the least, for
many rcHsOnst and chief amongst
them is the repulsive feelings of beg
gary, which, to a sensitive mind, is
like moral crucifixion. In an intelli-
gent, honest commission, all these
evils could be obviated and many ad-
vantages added,

OUR FIRST DEFEAT.
FOUR 30 ONE IN FAVOR OF
MACON.
the Absence of n Regular Re-
suits DisasIrOusIy.

The Southern League had its spring
opening yesterday, and Memphis,
Nashville, Chattanooga and Charles
ton all sustained defeats at the hands
of Georgia clubs. The defeat of the
local club was not unexpecte d, in view
of the disorganized condition of its
nine, In the absence of Colgan and
Krehmyer, Fusselbach was put in to
catch, and Sneed tried to replace him
at short. Bradley, a new player, was
sent out to right field, and the result
of all this changing about was dis
astrous, as might have been expected.
O'Leary pitched a great game, only
four base-hits being made off him,
and was well supported, only four
errors being charged to the local nine.
two of which were scored TO Sneed,
one to Andrews and one to Bradley,
Sneed's errors were the costliest, as
one of them resulted in two runs for
Macon. Under all the circumstances,
it is a matter of congratulation to the
friends Of the nine that they were not
beaten worse, badly handicapped as
they were.
The Macons began well, scoring a
run on the first inning. Stearns made
first base on error by Andrews, it is
not stated how, the report being some
what defective, owing to insufficient
details furnished by the operator at
the Macon end. Corcoran hit to
pitcher, who retired Stearns at second.
Harter went out on fly to center field,
Core ran making second and scoring
on Peltz's two-bagger to left field.
Peltz was thrown out by catcher, try
ing to steal third
No more runs were made until the
the seventh inning. Walsh fouled out
to catcher, Miller struck out, Malloy
hit safe over second for one base, and
made second and third on passed
balls. Geiss hit safe past short stop
for one base, Malloy scoring. Gtiss
made second on catcher's bad throw to
second, Stearns made b'ss on balls,
wild pitch advanc ID Geiss to third
and Stearns to second, Corcoran
popped up fly to Sneed, who muffed,
Geiss and Stearns scoring. Harter hit
to second, out at at fl ST. Here were
thru e runs made after two men were
out by errors of pitcher, catcher and
short stop.
Memphis made her only run in the
ninth inning, barely escaping a white
wash. B ack was first at bat, and
flied out to right field. Sneed did
the same to center field. Andrews
sent fly to right fielder, who muffed it,
Andrews making second. LAWN hit
past third, making first, Andrews
scoring. Whitehead hit to short stop,
LAWN out at second.

DECIDEDLY SENSATIONAL
REPORT IN THE OHIO SENATOR
IAL BRIBERY CASE
Money said 10 Have Been Reckless
~ Scattered Among the Legis-
IatOrs.

COLUMBUS, o., April TO- The legis-
lative committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges of bribery in
electing II. B. Payne Senator in jan
uary, 1884, reported this evening. The
minority report, signed by three Re-
publicans, is lengthy and accompanied
by 500 pages of evidence, the i'm
portant points of which are cited to
show that while none Of the members
of the present Assembly have been
conclusively impeached, the charge
had been made as to corrupt methods,
and the testimony fully justifies that
it be certified at once to the
United States Senate for action by that
body In considering Payne's right
to his seat, most of the witnesses
testifying as to the use of money were
Democrats, some being ex-members OF
the Legislature who were at the time
offered various sums, notably Repre-
sentative Kable, who testified that
Senator Ramey offered him $4,000 to
vote for Payne, saying that was what
he (Ramey) got. Evidence is cited to
show two banks wherein Ramey de-
posted T2500 cash, and also to show
large investments at the time by State
Senator Elmer land Representatives
Mooney, Roche and others
THE MAJORITY REPORT
is somewhat sensational, and has
caused great stir, especially the evil
dence of L. A. Russell, who tells OF
picking up a $40 bill on the floor of
R d. Pages room, Page being Payne's
manager, and OF j. ]. Hall, who told
of entering John Huntington's room
unceremoniously and finding stacks
of bills more money piled up than
he ever saw in the bank Of which he
is director The committee sets forth
that Huntington, who is one of the
directors of the Standard Oil Com
pany, was regarded as the purser of
the Payne crowd, and as soon as this
committee was appointed he fled to
Cuba and has not been available.
THE MINORITY REPORT
signed by two Democratic members is
devoted to argu ments to impeach the
most damaging witnesses, and while
admitting there have been many
newspaper rumors, much testimony
of general nature as to corruption
and bribery, that there is no direct
evidence, and that the connecting
link is out in every case, so that they
hold such evidence should not be GER
titled to the United States Senate
to blackeh the character of any man.
Pending discussion to print the re-
ports and substitute the minority for
the majority report, recess was taken
till to morrow morning, and the mat
ter will probably be up in the House
for the rest of the week.
