KfcW York, April 22.— Notwithstanding tbo
many drawbacks n tho way of inclement
weather and wot grounds, the bnso-ball fever
was never so high in and about Now York as at
present. Amateur clubs are springing up like
mushrooms os every hand. If you go with*
In ton blocks of a cluh-houso or a ball-hold, you
are euro to hear a disctt'Moo, animated to the
last degree, on tho relative merits of this club
or that. Even tho professional players seem to
have imbibod something of this footing, and oro
Inking hold of their walk with a ngnt good
will.
TUB MUTUALS.
Tbs Mutual Club has always been a dangerous
tmo to hot against, and a still more dahoorous
one to hot on. I never hoard any one question
ibeir ability as players, hub It is only, too true
that vory many of our best patrons of tho gamo
have lost faith iu tho inclination of tho Ditto to
win every gatno they could. They promise much
that is good this season, however, and let us
hope they will not disappoint us.
At last, mindful of tho necessity and itnpor
jtneo of thorough practice boforo entering upon
tho real work of tho season, Mr. Camtuoyor, tho
manager of tho Mutual Club, has hod his mou at
work m a hand-hall alley in Brooklyn sinco tho
Ist of too month. They already sliow tho effect
of the practice they have received, and
can now rim tho circuit 6f tho basts
without taeonilng winded in tho least. Their hiuacka
are rapidly hardening, bo that there 1* no longer any
complaint heard of
ROUE AND stiff joints.
Itcrcloforo It has been tho custom of (ho Mutual Club
to enter upon tho regular season’s play without having
bid any more practice than that afforded by two or
three games with scrub nines, aud tho result bas In
variably been disastrous, last season, for Instance,
lUo club played their first game in Hartford, and were
defeated by a nine In every way tbolr Inferiors Have
that (hey had Improved their opportunities to pul
themselves In ebuditfon. Tho yotr before the same
thins was repeated at Baltimore, and cveu In Washing
ton. Mr. Caimntycr says ho is now about tired of
this soil of thing, and proposes to turn over a new leaf.
in iiahe-uali. Circles here
the Mutuals are considered about us strong as they
were last season, but I very'lmich doubt (bat Such is
tho case. Matthews, It la (me, , was never in better
form than bo is ut present, but Hicks, who is to catch
for him, seems to have fallen off in his style of play.
Birring (ho important feature of throwing, he was
i.lvit u belter catcher thu Allison, wbllo as a batter
there is no comparison nt all between (he two then,
Bug being one of the best and most Directive wleldcrs
of the null that plays ball. Last year iho club rejoiced*
in two first-class catchers, but now, should Hicks fall
side or bo Injured, (hero is no man In the nine who
•sntuka his place. In thin respect the Mutual Club Is
much weaker this season than It was last.
JOE KTART.
tbo acknowledged 11 boss ” of all tho first basemen,
still lingers with tbo •* Mutes," and I am told Uds fair
to eclipse even hls last year's play. He picked up won
derfully last season in Gatling, so that bo now ranks
among tho best in the tmalm*i>B. Kelson will again
look out fur matters In tho vicinity of second base,
and there Is ho question but that he tan do the posi
tion Justice. It Is really something wonderful, tho
change that has come over this player during the last
four years. When, In 1870, ho played third base In iho
Mutual nine, ho was tho most consummate growler
sod sorehead that ever went on a ball-bold.' Hicks Is
known as a chronic “ kicker," bat be never could
equal Kelson.
NOW MARK THE DIFFERENCE I
Scarcely a word escapes hid mouth during a game, snd
be ban become so quiet and gentlemanly In his deport
ment as to occasion comment from all. An a natural
rcsull.be bas Improved in hls play* and now ranks with
tho bust of second basemen. In bucking up first base
1 think ho excels any second baseman that 1 know of.
In tho loss of Burdock the Mutuals will sutler to a
very great extent. It In thu opinion of nearly every in
telligent boll-player In this vicinity that as a fielder, In
almost any position, Bmdock stands to-day without a
rival. Quick, active, and possessing a largo knowledge
of the nice points of the game, this player is Invalua
ble to any nine. With thu oxcapilou of pitching, he
can fill any position on tho fluid from catcher to
right field, I have seen him go behind iho
b*t and catch for Matthews, without sny previous
practice whatever, tu a stylo that elicited shouts of ap
plause from tbo spectators snd astonished even bis old
associates. Asa (bird baseman bubusuo cqrtfcl. \
remarkably fs».t runner, ho captures a great many foul
balls that others could not get, and all know well
enough with what grace and efloHlvcness ho takes n
■harp grounder or a difficult chopping, bounding ball,
and how, like a rifle-shot, it Is scut over to first base.

too, I don't tube much Mock in hit word at oil timer,
and I know If he go.a u lithe bit ugly ho will feign kick
forowoekutatlmoumlreAißo to play. Uo needs a
vast dekl cf humoring, and is extremely fond of
having bis own way. To roplucj Burdock,
the Mutual* have gut (lorll&rdt, & promising young
from Washington. 11s played nbnrt slop In
the BaUlmcru Club isitoriion of laal season and won a
moat enviable reputation us a butsmun. Ho is a strong,
healthy young man, but 11 will UoiibtlcM bo some time
before he can play third bane ns well as did bis pro*
deccuor. lluldsworth again shows up at short stun
in the Mutual ranks, and hu is too well knbwu to re
quire any extended comment. It U sufficient to say
that he la very Justly considered

By the act of Sopl. 91, 1789, it waa enacted that ail

By tho tenth section of the act of Feb. 13, IbOl (3
Uuitod UtaU-s Hututes at Large, W), the Circuit Courts
of the United Hiutoa, as rvcogulaeu by that act, were
invested with oil tho powers hotututuro granted by

fifth sochim, act of April,dJ, 18i‘J, the Circuit Courts of
the Culled HUtos, a» commun'd by (hut act (sabsttu
bully lu form lu which they still remain), are limited
with all powers within Uu' 4 «oTertl districts of mpuct
tvs circuits that, before Feu. 13,1<31, belonged to the
Circuit Court of the United Hlatcs.
Congress hss power, by tbo Constitution, to exor

In so bolding it overruled the prior case of Orchard vs,

Judgo Ulatcbford goes oq to say:
These views necessarily apply to the sixth section of

Inal matters, aabnumae for witnesses lulu districts In

It remains, then, lo sxatnlne whether, under the
acts of Congress constituting tbe Bopiums Court of

such authority it bad no authority to enforce such pro

THE WISCONSIN ” REFORMERS."
Bytaal hmialeh tn The Chieooo tribune.
Milwaukee, \YJm., April 20.—Gov.Tavlor, who
has boon hero part of tho week, is understood
to ba electioneering. Members of tho Deform
State Central Committee have boon in constant
communication with his Excellency on tho sub
ject of the ticket for Btato officers to go
bcfoio tho Ktsto Convention ; and there
is no douh; whatever that thev nrc
a unit in favor of renom natlng the whole of tho
present iifbumtenls, namely? For Governor,
W. It. Taylors lor l.icuterntit-Oovonior. Parser;
for Hocrotarv of State, Peter Davie; for Slate
Treasurer, Ferdinand Kucbti; for Attorucy:Ucu
eral. A. Hcoit Rloau.
Of course, thoro are whispers of opposition.
Nelson l)«woy, lint Governor of the State, is
talked of for Governor. Ho lives at Cassvlllc,
Mid is o wealthy tnon, and an old, hard-headed
Democrat. N. D, FrAit, of Racine, who ran for
Congress against Charley Williams, in al-o
spoken of. as well as Oahc Houck, of Oshkosh,
In fact, it is no secret that, although tho Gov
ernor has commenced campaigning in bis own
interest, and the State Central Committee ap
pear to hare been captured by him, yet there is
a strong and growing element of dissatisfaction
that is determined to throw him over.
Pa-kcr, Lieu'etiant-Govcrnor, Is & Liberal Re
publican, and almost sure to ho on any .ticket
that may bo put tin s although, to my surprise,
to-day I was told tho Germans of Milwaukee are
figuring for one of their nationality,—Col. Ja
cobs. *
There will piohably ba no opposition to Petar
Doyle for Hooxetary of Stare, to Ferdinand Ktinhn
for Htfito Treasurer, or Sloan for Attornov-Oon
oral. Thera is no talk of any change except far
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, mid tho
plans with respect to these aio too shadowy yet
to bo dollnod. The onlc tiling certain as to iho
Lioutonaut-Govcmorsbin is. that tho most astuto
German Democrats profess to be hope
less of carrying tho . State without
uniting tho Gorman vote, and that cannot
be (lono without two Germans on the ticket, and
ono of those Germans should tun for Lieuten
ant-Governor. If Jacobs is talked of In this con
nection. it is only as a fooler, as tho object
nought—unity of the Germans in nil parts of tho
State—will not ho secured by giving both tho
Treasury and Lioutcuant-GovcniorsbiD to Mil
waukee trif.n.
This early commencement of tho campaign by
iho Governor and the Ilclorui State Central
Committed is much commented on here. Lud
ington. the supposed Republican candidate, is
developing such strength that, iu the language
of a Itoformer, “Old Taylor is gettiug fright
ened."

When Mr. Donaldson mado his ascension yce

hud assembled to eec him mart ou hia trip
through the air, while wondering at his ap
parently foolharoy dating, had Jltilo thought of
tho excitement winch the nows of his supposed
awlul death would raise throughout tho length
and breadth of tho laud before tho shades of
night had faUoa aver tho Citv of Phila

itaty occupant, ascended from tho Hippo

tho basket was swaying from side to side, as if
there was something am'ss with tho big gas-bag
tbac upheld it, while others.asserted that the
net-work encircling tho ballooa was slipping olt.
rttill. remembering tho good fortune that has
invariably attended with tho unually Bucceesful

met Mr. Thomas, Barnum's Press Agent, and
was astonished to lin.l that goutlcmau in tears.
To bis anxious inquliloh as to tho causa Mr.
Thomas hi a faltering voice desired him to pro
ceed to tho place reserved for the representatives
of tho city press, and assured him tuat ho would
follow him in a few moments and let him kouw
what was the matter. Tho reporter had scarcely
taken his seat before ono of tho usbois. who was

Donaldson ‘t" “No," was (he reply, “what is

to wnlo out a abort sketch of bis life. While

to loam bis iutolUgfcuco. "What is it?” was
shouted ou all sides, to which Mr. Thomas re
plied in a low tone of voice, " lie's safe;
where's Maggie?" Praises to the Most High
rose spoulanoously from tho lips of all. and
“Oh, Maggie, Maggie, darling, he's safe I” al
most screamed his female listeners.
On heating (ho joyful news the lady fainted
away, and it was some time before she was
sufficiently restored to bo abto to listen to Mr.

Tho anxious excitement of the attaches of tho

Tho first business before tho court yesterday
morning was the ■unigumout of prisoners
against whom indictments' were returned by tho
Grand Jury previous to its discharge Wednesday
lost.
The larger number of them pleaded not
guilty to tho charge for which they stand indict
ed. Homo few of them furnished bail, but tbo
majority were remanded to the County Jail to
await thoir tiials.
Among the number who pleaded not guilty
was James lloud, charged with forgery, iteod
is tho mau against whom an indictment was re
turned for forging deed* in connection with tho
Tumors, lately on Inal before Justice Haines.
Hemy Beckwith, tho ex-moniber of tho Board
of Trade, pleaded not guilty to the charge of
obtaining money by false pretenses. Bocawitk
is ibo man who was arrested and brought before
Justice Boyden Hume few weeks ago, ou tho
charge oi advertising for a clerk who could tar
nish linn with a few bundled dollars. The ad
vertisement was answered, and ho, promising tho
verdant youth a situation, obtained a small
amount of currency from inro, and directed him
wheto to como the next morning. When ho
wokt there Bocn«lth w«s nor on hand. Ho was
attested and hold to the Criminal Court. It is
on this charge that ho has boon indicted, and
ai ralgucd to plead yesterday.
Edward 11. Isenhardt pleaded guilty to cheat
ing and to forgery—two indictments. This case
is similar to that of Beckwith's. Ho, too, adver
tised for a doll; or a partner, who would advance
him a certain amount of money. A young man
named bhaw foil into tho trap, and entered into
an arrangement, whereby ho gave Isonhardt
*6OO in cash, atm hid note for S2OO for a half
interest in the business, which Isenhardt repre
sented to bo tho picture business, the prisoner
showing his dupe a lot of boxes which, ho stated,
co.'tallied lO.bOJ engravings, while on
examination it appeared that only one
of them contained engravings, tho re
mainder being filled win sawdust.
The attorney for Shaw asked (ho Court that au
order bo entered that (ho SIMJ paid by him to
the prisoner, mid which is now ou deposit in tho
.Merchants', Farmers’. A Mechanics’ Savinas
Bank, be paid to his client.. Mr. Magee, Shaw's
attorney, informed tho Court that Isonliardt had
give au order for *275 of tha amount on tho
bank payable to A. 8. Trudo, but the bank had
declined payment, as tho pass-book did not ac
company the check, and that Ttudo had com
menced suit for tho amount m tho Superior
Court. Tho Conit took tho matter under con
sideration, and will decide it before passing sen
tence upon tho prisoner.
After this business was disposed of, (ho cases
of tho Hankins brothers ami that of Gibbous,
indie.od (or keeping common gaming-houses,
wore called up. For full proceedings, see an
other column.
The ease of Harry Lawrence, on the same
charge, is sot for hearing Wednesday. This is
an old iodiotmuut, of scum months’ standing,
but. owing to Ibo absence of tho indicted party

never boon on trial.

M, I.ouU democrat, April 22.
Tho lion, Francis F. Smith, Chairman of the
Executive Committee ol tho Indinti Commission,
ami D. B. Kobei is, also a member of tho Com
mission, arrived m St. Louis yesterday, tram
Omaha, on their wav East. Those getitlomon
have nccu au n tour for observation am! uocotio
ttou in tho Pawnee country, which la located in
Nebraska, on tho PJatto Klvcr. Their visit had
fonts main object tho removal of tho tribe to
a new reservation located iu Indian Territory,
between the Cimuiaron and Arkansas Livers, and
betuiigiug formerly 10 tho Cherokcca. Tho old
reservation coutnins nearly 8(M,000 acres, winch,
by an ad of Congress, passed m June, 1872, is
to bo sold in sections. Last fall a large abate of
the tribe left for their now reservation on a buf
falo limit, and to join a party that had etartod
the year previous After a* successful winter
they met Agent Purged, and agreed upon a site
for their reservation, m Minch last. aomollmiß
over 4i*o, consisting mainly of tuo aged, infirm,
and tno children in school, re mam at the reser
vation in Nebraska, and will ho subsisted theta
until the latter portion of the present season,
when, it Is hoped, quarters will bo prepared for
their occupation iu tho now location. Tho en
ure failuie of Congress to make ptoparntlon for
the expense of tho removal causes groat embar
rassment to the authorities.
Cutnuiispioticr Smith, iu a recent convention,
regarding the Illicit Hills and the probability of
the extinguishment of tho Indian title, said to a
representative of the Omaha iAva/d;
Tnrco delegations of Hionx are starting to
Washington aooul tbU time,—ouo of tlio Ogallal
las, iu chargo of Agent bavtllo. of tho lied (Jloud
Agency; another from tho Brule Sioux, under
chaigo of Agent Howard, of Spotted Tail
Agency; anil tho third delegation Is mndo up of
Chicia from tho Northern Inmans.—tho Winno
conjous, Sana Arcs, and Uiicpupas.—in chaigo
of Agent Bingham, of the Grand Hirer Agency.
Tnoy are going to Washington for the
purpose of consultation, mainly upon tbs
Black Hills question. Congress, how*
ever, niado provisions for two new
agencies to bo eslaoUahed. into one of which tho
Northern Bioui arc to ho gathered, and tho
location of tboso agencies is another object of
this visit. After they have returned to their own
country it is expected a commission will bo sent
out from Washington, which will complete tho
negotiations with respect to the extinguishment
of their title to tho Black lli'ls, and and also
select a point in tho reservation lor tho now
agencies. Bcgarding tho making of a treaty,
X do not think tho Chiefs will go on with
sufficient autlsority to do that. Obtaining
their consent to give up tho Bloch Hills
will be so dlfilcult to accomplish that it will
probably require considerable machinery to
bring it about. I think tho object of their go*
mg to Washington Is to secure tu advance the co*
operation of a considerable number of their
prominent men when they conduct the negotia
tion with thoir tribes. Tbo Black Hills bare
been regarded as a kind of M sacred Boil," and a
common ground by all tbs Northern Indians.
They have threatened hostility to any
white man who should visit there at
all. They have made it their com*
moo rendezvous whenever they contem
plated any Incursion or emergency. Ouo o
their strongest fooliiiCß Is against any wuite man
going to the Black Hills, nud, of course, to iu
ouco them to give up that objection and to
relinquish their own right to go there will re
quire a great deal of persuasion.
Their love fortbo Hills is simply because It is
in tho centre of (heir reservation, the various
bonds of the Slont being located on three differ
ent sides. They voluo it also on account of its
comparative maccessibility.
Mr. Binilh w of- tho opinion that, while (here
may bo ncti gold deposits in the hills, the re
ports thereof have been greatly exaggerated. Afl
a hunting ground for tho Indians it is woitbless,
tho game being almost exhausted, and as there
is a strong desire ou the part of the Government
to open the country to tbo nhltos, it Is probable
matters will be uotUod with all possible ex
pediency.
An oillcer who was present at tho Indian re
volt which occurred at tho Chovouno and Ara
pahoe Agency on'the (Uh lust., an account of
which has already been glvou from military
sources, says that from tho beginning of tho
fight tho Indians fought wi'h groat desperation,
ana time after lime, when tho soldiers, uudei
Capt. llafforty, charged upon tbo sand-hills,
were driven bach. Boar Hhieid, tho chief
who first started the tight, was instant
ly billed, four bullets entering his head.
Htouo Calf did all in his power to pre
vent the young men going into the fight,
but his counsels wore not heeded, it is thought
impossible for the Cheyennes co escape the mili
tary, aa nearly the whole of tbe Tenth Cavalry
are iu pursuit. Ou the 16th msU, four soldiers
from Fort Wallace were corralid on Boar Crook,
about 20 miles south of the fort, by thirty-five
Indians. They kept ttiem at bay for some timo.
and finally escaped, reaching Granada ou Satur
day. Word was at once sent to I’prt Lyon, and
troops wore scut out to try to capture (ho red
devils. This lust outrage occurred nearly iu (he
same place whore the Germain massacre took
place last September.
A dispatch from Kansas City says (list news
from the frontier is very exciting os to (bo In
dian outrages. Fear soldiers were smrouudod
near Granada, Kan, last week, by a band of In
dians, and tho fight lasted for several hours, A
number of savages wero killed before they were
lopulsod. Gen. Pope is aoUvoin preparation for
tho approaching troubles.
