A SPLENDID GAME YESTERDAY.

A SPLENDID GAME YESTERDAY.
There was slightly increased attend
ance at the base ball game yesterday, but
nothing near what the teams deserved, rs
the game was by long odds a much better
one than that oAthe day previous.
The Wheeling nine lost through total
inability 10 hit Watson, who pitched an
elegant game, and all attempts at stealing
bases were cut of by JOhnSon's magnificent
throwing TO first and second. The field
work of the visitors WAS good all the way
through, and they were charged with only
one error On behalf of the home team
Wilson pitchcd in very g0ad shape andwaS
well scoandod by Wright, whose only
weakness was in getting the ball to second.
Dudley, Spcidcl, Nichols and Sullivan
made some very crcditablc plays, while
the out field t0ak in everything that went
that way.
GAINESVILLE scored its first run in
the first inning, when McCan
hit safe and scored on Wright'S
overthrow Ia Sullivan in trying To catch
the runner mapping at first, the ball getting
lost in the grass The visitors got their
next and final run in the fifth, when
Watson hit to Sullivan, who threw to
Nichol at first, retiring the batter; McCan
hit to Speidel, who threw wild TO first, let
ting McCm To second, he reached third on
a passed ball, and scored on Wclch'S fly to
left, Welch going out. BameS gat in hit
back Of second, but was left, rs Rafferty,
popped up fly for Nichol
The two games with GAINESVILLE proves
that the home team has some number one
men, and can give pretty exhibition OF
ball playing. More practice, especially in
the batting line Will make them dangerous
foes for all amateur and scmi-proicSsiOnal
teams, and they deserve much better pat
ronagc than they have received.
Following is the score

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Claims for Real Property on the Bor'
der During the War.


The second comptroller, in lengthy
opinion, has Just decided question of some
importance relating to claims for the use
and occupation Of real property In the bor-
der states during the period Of the war OF
the rebellion. He has held that the ac-
counting officers have no Jurisdiction to
audit and allow such claims, unless 1t Is
shown that there was an express agreement
on the part OF some duly authorized officer
or agent OF the government TO pay for the
use OF the property, upon the faith OF which
possession was surrendered by the owner.
1t is also held that In the absence OF an
express agreement a contract cannot be
implied where the military authorities, on
account OF the necessities Of the service, are
compelled to take possession OF aud use
real property In territory which is the the
ter OF war and where the occupation is
essential to its successful prosecution. The
property is not taken In such cases by the
exercise OF the right Of eminent domain, but
through the lawful exertion Of war power
which inheres In every civilized government
and which rests upon the right OF self
preservation.
The decision will exclude from the con-
sideration Of the accounting officers a very
large class Of claims now pending, estimated
to Involve a half million OF dollars, besides
have not been fled There are some prior
decisions to the contrary, which are over
ruled.
The comptroller holds that in this class Of
cases Congress alone can provide remedy,
and that the course Of congressional legls-
lation upon the subject since the war
plainly indicates an intention on the part
Of that body not to delegate the power to
pass upon this class of claims to any other
branch OF the government.
The particular case under consideration
was that OF the Christian Church at Pa
ducah, KY, for the use OF their church
building as hospital for the care of sick
and wounded soldiers during the period Of
nine months Immediately after the battles
of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, In Feb
ruary, 1869. For special reasons, applicable
to this case alone, the report Of the auditor,
recommending an allowance Of 5000, was
confirmed, In order that 1t may be reported
to Congress at its next session for action;
but the general rule governing claims for
rent in the states of Missouri, Kentucky,
Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland
during the war period is declared to be as
above stated.

Medicine, Surgery, and Epilepsy.

When Goethe complained Of being very
III his secretary, Eckermann, inquired why
he did not call in a physician. "What is a
physician ?" replied the great man, who,
like an lrishman, answered one question by
asking another. But he continued, "a
physician is a person who pours lot OF
physic OF which he knows nothing into a
human body Of which lie knows less" The
knowledge Of medicine certainly does not
advance by leaps and bounds, but, upon the
other hand the science and art Of surgery
have made wonderful strides within the last
half century.
A new era has been opened by certain
successful operations upon eplleptIcs, per-
formed by Mr.. Victor HOrsley, OF London,
surgeon TO the National Hospital OF Great
Britain for the Paralyzed and Epileptic.
This gentleman, at q meeting Of the British
Medical Association, In Brighton, at the
beginning Of this month, exhibited three
patients, now recovered, who have been suf
tering from severe epileptic fts, whose
skulls had been opened by the surgeon and
the diseased structure or new growth from
the brain itself successfully removed. The
of their epilepsy, but q considerable time
must be permitted TO elNpse before any
claim for permanence Of result can be es-
tablished. This authority further states
that what is actually proved at pres
ent is that 1t has become possible, by
the observation OF symptoms, not only to
determine the fact of the existence Of some
morbid growth within the SKULL but also
10 determine its precise position with such
accuracy that It can be cut down upon and
removed. But the result Of this discovery,
which is most fattering to our self-love, Is
the knowledge that considerable portions
of brain may be removed without injury,
the functions TO which these portions are
subservient being performed, after awhile,
very possibly, by corresponding parts Of
The opposite hemisphere" Surely there
