I'LL LUCK STILL PURsUEs HIM.
Another Vexing Question as to Pay-
ment of RansOm's Salary.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-Ex-
Senator Ransom's draft on the Treasury
for 1856 on account of salary as United
States Minister to Mexico still remains
unpaid and it is probable no action in
the matter will be taken until Secretary
Carlisle's return. The Secretary some
days ago directed that the draft be hon
0red, on the supposition, it is thought,
that the re appointment of Mr.. Ransom
had removed all obstacles to the pay
ment of his salary.
Acting Comptroller Bowers, however,
has raised question which may result
in the delay of the payment until Con-
gress shall take action in the matter
Section 1851 of the revised statutes de
cares that ''No money shall be paid from
the Treasury as salary to any person ap-
pointed during the recess of the Senate
to fill vacancy in any existing office, if
the vacancy existed while the Senate was
in session and was by law required to be
filled, and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, until such appointee5 has
been confirmed by the Senate"
The question which has now arisen is
whether Mr.. Ransom, under his last ap-
pointment, can collect his salary as a
recess appointee, upon the theory that
his previous appointment having been
made during a session of Congress, and
therefore, in his case, unconstitutional,
operated to fill the vacancy. Ifit did, it
is said, he undoubtedly is entitled to his
salary; but if not, his salary must be
withheld. There is a series of decisions
by the courts holding that defacto Off
Ger Of the government is entitled to COM
persation, but whether such defacto fills
a vacancy as contemplated by section
1851 remains to be determined.

Base Ball Teams Coming South.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 25.-Arrange-
ments are being made for the Baltimore
and Philadelphia base ball teams to
make an extended Southern trip after
the Temple cup series is played. The
start will be made at Philadelphia, Oct.
-, where two games will be played.
The teams will then come to Baltimore
for two more games and then go South.
Manager Irwin, Of the Philadelphia,
said this morning that the trip would be
for the benefit of the players, and it
would not be made under the auspices
of the management of the teams, al
though the scheme has the sanction of
the managers Mr.. Irwin will probably
60 with the Phillies, but it is not likely
that Manager Hanlon will make the trip.
After playing in Baltimore the team
will 90 to Richmond, Savannah or Au-
gusta, Atlanta, Mobile, New Orleans and
Dallas, Texas. Games will be played in
Dallas about the time of the Oorbett-
Fitzsimmons fight, and the men will wit
ness the fight. The trip will end at
Dallas when the teams will disband.

dications point to the nomination OF
Chancellor McGill for Governor by the
Democratic Convention which meets
h re tomorrow. There have been
no very warm contests and most
Of the delegations will come to
the convention unpledged. In the
rural districts there has been very
strong sentiment for Augustus W. Out
ler. who has been working for the nomi-
nation, particularly among the farmers,
but in the cities and county towns it is
all for McGill, with little feeling for
Justice Lippincott. The leaders all lock
at it in this way and they anticipate a
very tame convention.
