Base BaIINOtes.

Charleston is becoming disheaTtened
on account of her hard luck.
The game at Augusta yesterday shows
that Augusta has got a crack nine.
Pittsburg will play Philadelphia at
Charleston to-day, and will reach Savan-
nan tomorrow morning, playing two
games here.
Dan Brouthers, the crack first base
man OF the DetrOits, before leaving for
Augusta, made Jimmie Field present Of
his favorite bat which he mas used for the
past three years. In a practice on the
Savannah grounds, he mad the misfortune
to split il near the handle. 1t is said that in
1893, in a game on the Philadelphia
grounds, Brouthers struck a ball with this
bat over the fence OF the Philadelphia $
grounds, and over church outside the
fence. The ball fell INTO the street and
was brought back on a street car. Field
presented the bat TO James Mcbride. by
whom it is highly priced.

The decision of Judge Brown, of the
United States Court at Detroit, fully
sustaining the constitutionality of the
so-called assisted immigration act,
the real purpose OF which was to pre-.
vent the Importation OF foreign labor.
ers under contract, is one of the most
important rendered for some time. 1t
was given in a. case brought to test
the law, and the Judge holds that the
act is within that provision OF the
United States Constitution permitting
Congress to regulate commerce. To the
objection that our laws cannot punish
for an offense committed in a foreign
land, the Judge answers that the of.
tense was completed on this side by
the actual landing OF the imported
workmen. 'This is equivalent to the
law Furnishing an accessory to the
crime. If the crime is not committed,
the accessory is not guilty; but as
soon as it is committed the accessory
becomes liable"
