Two New England Societies Who Set Up Rival Claims. The recent visit of llie New England Society of California Pioneers has brought to light tlie fact that they have a rival In a body known as the New England Associated Pioneers of '49, and it Is evident from .1 perusal of several documents received In Ibis city that the two societies are not on the most friendly terms. The reason for this is not quite plain, but the organization of the excursion seems to have provoked a wordy opposition ou the part of the officers of me rival society. The following from 11 receut Issue of the Huston Herald Is significant, but loses much of Its weight , lv view of the fact that Captain Thames, the President of the visiting society, Is one of the eatlieitl and beat leunwu of the Cali fornia Pioneer*, he having ai rived here in Jauu ary, 1813, by Ihe ship Admittance. i lie California Pioneers of .New England, who started on an excursion to tho Pacific Coast from Boston last week, 140 strong, were in Chicago Sat urday. It had been claimed to spend six hours in the windy city, and "forty-niners" and •Uttlers" of that place hail prepared to give them a royal wel come, but the train was four hours late and the "stop-off" was, therefore, curtailed to two hours. Tills merely gave time fur a visit to the Auditorium, where verbal courtesies were Interchanged. The ! tourists spent a few hours in Kansas City, Sunday, and then continued on their way 10 tbe Golden Gate via La Junta, Las Vegas and San Bernardino. They will return to Boston about May 15th. Keferrlng to this party, a member of the New England Associated California fioneers of '49 writes to the Herald under date Boston, April 12th: "The grand excursion to the Pacific Coast, under the auspices of the California rioneer-i of New En gland, can scarcely be called a success, since only ten forty-niners went out with the paity. It you add to these t ':•■ thirteen names of those who went out to California In the titties, you have got down to the bottom upon which the fame of this experiment rests to-day. Of the 150 ladies and gen tlemen comprising the party, only twenty-three went to California during the gold-fever days, say from '48 to '54, the balance being "raw recruits" visiting the country for the first time in their lives. There are not far from 170 forty-niners now living in Boston and vicinity, and about twice that num ber who arrived tv the country during the fifties, I and yet out of this grand total of 600 names, only I twenty-three could be Induced to join the party and go out with it. To my mind these facts oujht to be made known. It for no other reason than to prevent the public from being misled, and the abiL>e of a name now too sacred to be trifled with." Then again the Secretary of the Associated Pioneers lashes himself Into a fury, aud, with a great deal of Irony, unburdens his feelings la the following manner: Atsociatc: That portion of the above statement, claiming to have been written by a member of this society, was most likely based upon the published list which was issued by Kayruoud & Whitcomb on the day or its departure. As an excursion of Cali fornia pioneers, It has turned out a lizzie aud a sham. Personally we do not care, neither does Boston care, whether this Intensely advertised excursion was a mlsrepreseutlou from the beginning or not. but we do care for tho open-hearted people of the Uoldeu State, wno aie making auch elforts to enter tain these bogus '4Ucrs! Well, my dear boy, there Is lots of fun In this world, and h?ap< of Due music, hut for effective work give me the born that sells the lisb. Faithfully yours, Ueokoe G. Si-uKit, Secretary. The society of which Mr. Spurr is Secretary aud of which Samuel F. Snow Is President pre sents a roster of its membership, showing the names of forty-six persons, with tho dale of their arrival in California and their places of present residence. Heading the list Is the Mine of Mrs. M. Sinclair, who lives lv liosion, aud who came oveiland 10 California, arriving here iv Decem ber, 1843. The oilier names are given iv tue order of their coming, and close with that of Alexis Toncy, who weathered Cape limn lv the ship lioslou aud lauded here in November, 1849. It Is evident from this that they are what they claim for themselves— genuine Argonauts— but II Is also clear that the society headed by Cap tain 1 homes Is similarly constituted, aud this renders It a little diltlcull to understand tue iui ure of the tiouble existing between the two bodies. Captain Thoines stated a few days ago that la his parly were sixty-live pioneers, and It is not within the bounds of probability that lie erred at all lv his .statement. Further developments will be watched with (merest. BON VOYAGE. The Visiting Pioneers Hare Departed for Sun .line.

Senators Win Their First Game in This City. Stockton Was Unable to Hit Cobb and Lost to the Colonels. Games of tbe National and Flayers' Leagues and the American Association on Eastern* Fields. Epeclal by the California Associated Press. The Sacramento team yesterday won Its first game ibis seasou on tbe Ualght-street grouuds, aud although the home players opposed Hie Sen ators tbe majority of the spectators were [leased to see the victory go as It did. it was a case of sympathizing witb the under party In tbe fight, and the crowd yelled with delight wbea the tall enders took tbe lead. Hard hlttiug, however, did uot give the game to tbe visitors. They sel dom louud Lookabaugb's cuives safely and earned ouly one of Ihelr seven mua. Their fielding wa3 belter than that of the Fiiscos, although tbe latter have two errors less, aud the work of the team was of a very high order. Keltz, the youug second baseman of tbe nine, sbowed a wonderful talent for blocking every thing that came near bis cushion, aud Iv one In stance stopped a bit within fifteen feet of first base. The ball was too hot for bin) lo bold and tbe br.Uer teached first, but Ibe "block" pre vented a run from being scored. Tbe style iv wbicb be handled lbs catcher's tbrowlug was simply fauliless. Wbeu a steal Was attempted Keitz ran down to tbe base, secured the bull as It traveled toward ceuter, aud tbeu witli a quick, giaceful moliou brought It down lightly ou the ruuuer. Four times did this scene occur, aud before the cloud of dust around tbe bag bad cleared away ibe steutoriau toned umpire called "You're out." And Sheridau yelled in such an emphatic way that (he discomfited plajej: kuew there was uo chauce for a "kick." Bowman's thiowiug was splendid. He would have preferred to play oil trie bench yesterday on account ul Illness, but acceded to ttie wish ol bis manager and wont behind the bat. He baa a deceptive way ul pulling the ball down to sec oud. Xliere appeals to be little force iv tlie im petus be gives Hie ball aud it seems to get through space slowly, yet all i lie time tbe sphere goes at a rapid rale. Two base-ruuner» were fooled yesterday after getting a good start on Hie ball, and endeavored, when too late, to make up lor lime lost in checking their pace ou the paths. Zeigler pitched four innings and was lilt so bard that ho decided to give way to Harper, who held down the other side to one run. Daley's throwing was again uncertain, aud twice alter maKlug two i sioui he li-.-lded poorly to first. Tbe home nine played ail eirorloss game until tbe tilth inning, when their wietcheu work. In addition to a lew Sacramento lilts, gave the con test to the interior men. Sweeney and Levy did some heavy balling, the latter lacing out a clean pretty three-bagger to right field. h'bilght was right at borne mi ground-hits, and his throwing was swift and suie. ills error was a intUt of a fly to deep short. Tbe contest became exciting In tbe ninth Inning, when tlie ban Frauclscos bad only to secuie one run to tie the score. With one man out Ebrlgut had leached lint on GoUai'a error and it seemed possible for him to score, as there were heavy hitlers bebiud htm. Speer was next to bat aud drove the ball on a line to center. The crowd yelled. TUkv wanted the extra In uiug, and iiiiiigiitni^Tptlu.int! mound the dia mond at bieak-neck speed. But Sptei's iv» di*' not loucb ground, (ioodenougb came la on a run aud made a seemingly Impossible eaten, aiM beloie Ebrlght could comprehend that tbe ball bad been captured he was doubled up at first. In the first luului; Shea hit to Daley, who tbrew low aud Joe took second on Stapletou'4 error. He went to third ou Sweeney's sacrifice aud scored ou Uauley's single to center, Jiauley advauced to third on Uoodeoougu's error aud scored ou Ebrlgift'i sacrllice. In tbe second for ameuto Daley and Uodar lilt singles. Keltz's saculice advauced Daley to thud, and he scored ou Roberts' grouuder to Shea. Mcllale got first ou balls and stole sec ond. Zelgler hit safely, scoring Gudai and send lng.McHale to tlmd. Z-lgler stole second and Mcliale scoied on the throw down. Shea in the third took Brat on balls, stole sec ond aud went to thud ou Sweeney'* tingle. Sweeney stole second, and both ruuners scored on Hauley's single. Ilauley was thrown out at secoud by Bowman. Ebrigut hit 10 Daley and went to secoud on the shortstop's low throw. Speer's sacrllice sent Ebrlght to third, and be scoied on Levy's triple. In (he fifth for Sacramento Harper was safe on Ebnglit's muff, and was forced at second on Uoodeiioiigh'.t bit to ibe box. Levy muffed Station's fly, aud Uoodenouga w nt to third.

"It Is the mucous membrane,' that wonderful semi-fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tis- sues of . the air and food passages, that Catarra makes its stronghold."* Once established, it eats Into the very vitals, and renders life but a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroy- ing the faculty of smell, tainting the breath, aad killing the refined pleasures of taste. Insidiously, by creeping on from a simple cold in the head, it as- saults the membranous lining and envelopes tha bones, eating through the delicate coats and causing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the patient, ' and all alleviatlres are simply procrastinated suffer- ings, leading to a fatal termination. ' Sanfukd 1 * Radical Cubk, by Inhalation and by internal admin- istration, has never failed; even when the disease uai made frightful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out." ■."
