A CLUD-HOUSE FOR TUE CEICAGOS. The Chicsgo Club management have seouret & \ease of the fine mausion, No. 1030 Wabash ave- aue, for their clab-house. This is perhaps the most eligible location in the city for the purpose, being Op *he corner of Twanty-third street and Yabash avenue, scarcely more than & block from the grounds. The house is s very fine one, and gqnits large emough for all purposes required. 'The basement will be fitted up for s .billisrd-room, snd the parlors will bs elegantly farnished by the Club manegement. The dsy of opening has not yet-been fixed, but will shortly be monounced, together with the srrangements for membership. CIICAGO NOTES. - White and Bielaski will arrive in the city to- morrow, and will make upthe full team eogaged axcept Anson, Wwho has yet reported himeelf asyet. Various rumorsare floating about as to the intentions of the latter player and the Chi- csgo Ctub mansgement, but no action hsg yet been taken by the latter. Whatis to be done will be decided before the first game isplsyed. Itis perhaps enoughon the subject o mention that the League rules and Constitu- tion are made to cover such cases as would be presented it *Anson refused to carry out his con- tract. ‘The Twenty-third street grounds offer no en- eonragement at prenemlto ha[én for an early oc- cupaucy for purposes of practice or game play- ing. There are, however, many better drained and higher lying spots on the South Side which balf-s-dozen warm dsys will zender fit for practice. The ~ trouble hss &0 far been rather that the weather was t00 cold than that a dry place was imposai- bleto find. After all there isn't much doubt that both troubles will be ovar in a few days if the weathar is kind. The unkind weath_¢ still prevents the mem- Dbers of the Chieago Club from taking any out- door practice, but they are making up forit by golid work in the gymnasmum, No Chicago nins ever went into the field with a8 much train- ing 86 the present club has already had i= the two or thres weeks which they have rpent at work. It has been customary in past years to dawdle around the zoom, and talk with admirers, but this yesr there has been a good deal of work, and very little idle chat. ‘Those people who tlought that Spalding was doing =n unwise i going inio the field without s change pitcher, will be oon- wvinced when they see Andrus that heis good enough for the poaition in the enforced absence of the Captain. - And thia, t00, without mention- ing MoVey, Who is not called *the phonoms- won™ wholly in joke. A PATHER WITHOUT A CHILD. There is nowhers in the world so 8ad a spec- tacle as & cypical, carping old man, who has out- wn his usefulness, and who, being left far hind in the progress of events, vainly attempts to hold back the world to hia place, and grum- bles becauso his little sxy-20 is not taken as law. This becomes asdder than evor when the useless old man finds himsclf placed in & position where he should be an authority, but in which he can- not even maintsin the appearance of respect- sble mediocrity. Such a man is Henry Chad- wick, of the Clipper, who, though not old in years, has had experience enough to have made himself » man of respect had heaven but given him a head. For some years the Clipper was recognized as an suthority in base ball, and at Jast Chadwick made the fatal error of confound- 1ng cause and effect, and 5o came to believe that he madebass ball, instead of contenting himsslf with the truth, that base ball made hum: Full of this manis, ho proceeded to eall humsolf the “Father of the Game," sud tc assame much on the strength of the title. But ne found an woraly child, and one which disinherited its paps with rapidity sud ease. During several gears up to the present, Chadwick had been in the habit of sttending conventions and forcing himself on them by the most barefaced assump- tion, with the implied threay that, if he was ot juffered to run things, down would come tno Clipper on the organizetios. Dy the lowest kind >f toadying to Harry Wright (who waa the orig- instor of all the meritorious ideas givon to the world as his) and to Philsdelphis, and by persis- tent, unjust, and disgraceful abuse of every- thing ‘estern,—especially Chicggzoan,—this man managed to keep the East under his thumb, wnd o ruled the game. He attempted the saxe scheme this vear, and printed in his psperamass of verbizge Which he wzs pleased to name ** im- proved rules,” and which he expected to force down the throats of the professionala. Bat. 88 noted above, the game had prown, the West bad grown, and both had outgrown Chad- wick snd all silied frande. The necessity for the League bad arisen, and it was formed with- out tho knowledge, coneent, privity, connsel, or presence of the *‘Father of the Gams,” and without sny recourse to his “amended rules.” Here wad_a double blow, for both the old man's vanity and pocket were wounded. A8 goon as be came to know of the new orgamzation, he rushed around to overy memoer present and de- manded the publication of the rmles: but the wicked child put his thumb up snd bade nis selt-styled father begone, ssying that the rules woald be published by the firm who bid for the privilege. the man moaned, and begged, and threstened by turns, but the ‘managers, joyouely free from his ion, Do~ fused to him up and carry him eny fartber. Then there was wrath in the breast of “The Veteran,” and he gave himaslf up to donuncia- tion in the Clipyer. Since that time he has torned more ways than one not & raader of the clipper and World wonld believe possible, The ronson of thia Is emsy to be seen; for some years wick hss mads . s bandsome sum yearly by editing ‘a ° book of rules with one hand and thoa puding it into prominence and salo with the Other. This pastime is disturbed and the gen- erous welcome which the League and its clenr and gimple rules have met is gall and wormwocd to the unprincipled speculator by nsme Chai- wick, From this cause has grown all the wrath, and it is redoubled by the action of the amataur associations; for, when Chadwick was dumped 1to the street by the professicnals, he took up withthe amateur associstion. and carried into their camp the bundle of rules which he had been buildinug. The Assccistion in’ question adopted tho mass of verbiage, snd made the old man's heart and pocket glsd for & moment, only to be saddenod sgain by the refusal of the amateurs to ewallow the pill made up for them. The Chi- cago Amateur Association led oX by ignoring Cbadwick and adoprng the League rules. Tbe New Engiand Associstion followed suit, and alf the Western and Southwestern clubs have done the eame thing. This is dieboariening. aud Chadwick has accordingly gone to work to pick th: Leagus rules to piecss with little or no suo- cens. ithout epending more words with the man who etyles lumsolf ‘‘the Father of the Game,” it is onough to 8ay of him that be was alweys A frand in the busizees ; that bo always depended on other braios than his own for bis idess ; that heis miles and leagues behind the age ; that he isa played-ont and passed-by man who never cared for the National Game further than as he could W money out of it and, finally, that mem- Lers of the Leagze will do thomselves anine justiceif they sllow his efforts to break up the organization to infiuence them in any way.

The New England Amateur Association met in Boston Monday last and arranged for the sea- son’s play. Tho New Haven Club was admitted to membership, and the League roles adopted as the playing code. The no-rubber ball was recommended for use, but not made obligatory. ‘The Louisville Club have strengthened their pius materially by the engagement of Edward Somervills, who played !aat_vear wih the Con- tennials and New Havena., He will be placed at socond base, and will add a good bit of batting strength to the nine, a8 well as prove & firat- class man in tho field. A good judge in the Chicago Club says that Bomerville is one of the quickcst and most active men in the busi- ness. As is usual in such cases ‘the New Haven Club emits a howl of rage and grief at losing the map, and accuses him of unfairness. The ex- planation that he himself gives of the matter is that he was promised a sum of money, snd that the promise was not_kept. The New Havens bave eogaged Fleet ‘to fill the vacancy.

The match between Bogardus and Paine, which was to have been shot some dsys ago, has fallen through, snd there is now almost no chance fo the men comingtogether thig year, The troudle this time was with Paine, as it tiways Las been in similar cages. Bogardus went to New York to shoot, and, on arriving thers, met Paine, who firat of all refused to put np $50 for his competitor’s expenses as he had agreed. 'This might have ‘been passed over, but the New Yorker also de- mandoed that the match be shot at Springfield, Mass,, although he had only a short time before agreed that it take place in New York. Of oourse Bogardus declined to chase his adversary all over the United States. The champion now gives Mr. Paine to understand that he willlisten te no farther overtures unless the man who wents to shoot puts up 8500 against a like sum a8 a forfeit. If he could get Paine as far as that, he would make him so much the poorer. THE CHAMPIONSHIP AIEDAL. Capt. Bogardus propases to allow any shooter in the United Kingdom, who wishes to shoot for the chempion gold medal, which Le won in En- gland last August, an opportonity 8o to do. He will put the medal up, free gratis, and fumish all the birds for the match, the shoot to bo for the medal and the championship of the world. ‘The match must be shot in this country, the Capisin _sesorving the right to name time and place of shooting. The con- ditions attached to the medal are to shoot at 100 birds esch, namely, 20 from one trap, 21 yards ris, 1 barrel; 15 paws from 2 traps, £ yards apart, 18 yards rise, and 50 from 5 traps, © yards apart, 30 yarda rise, 1{ oz. shot.

The Radical Club Meeting for Marche— A Btranger in the Gates, and a Hew Bubject. A Fluttering of Feminine Feath- ers---Col. Higginson to the Rescue. Fnldnmenuxl‘ Principles Going by the Beard---The Polite Way in Whieh Radical-Clubbers Fight. From Our Own Correrondent, BosTox, March 80.—The March meeting of the Radical Club was one of the spicieat mest- ings in the way of discussion that have ever taken place. Tho essay was all ont of the gen- eral course of Radical-Club essays, being noth- ing more or less thama titade against woman euffrage. The papera that are usually road at the Club are either highly scientific or highly philosophical, upon whatever particalar - topio they may turn, And any novice could perceive that they were clesrly exhaustive of their sub- jocts, and intellectuslly conscientious to s re- marksble degree. Bus the essay of this month waa another thing entirely. It was well written encugh, a8 far as composition went, but it was nots highly intellectual productionin the way of thought by any mesns. It was simply an or- dinary lecturo against woman's having the right of suffrage, and, 28 far 83 precedent went, more fitted for the platform than the Cheatnut street parlors. However, the discussion which ensued waa the main thing, and that was ESPECIALLY LIVELY. The *‘essayist” was Mr, Elders, a lawyer of Lexington, Mass., aod be waa invited to give his particular ' views” at the suggestion of one of the R. O. members, who favored these **views.” “'ho ordinary arguments of the opposition wera ascd. eprinkled in with which wers several as- sumptions sbout women which Mr. Elder had very evidently drawn from a few indtvidusls of bis'own scquaintance, rather than from a large obeervation and study of haman character. Thoge arguments were sensibie, but the assump~ ians wers not specially so. The points which he dwelt upon were the claims by the woman- suffragists that, assuffrage was coasidered in thia. country aninalienable ana natural right for all cit~ izens, women were entitled to it, and that, under the present exclusion of female influence by vote, laws wers unjust to women as regards property and wages. Mr. Elder jusisted that these l=ws concerniug proporty, though not por- “fecr, were rather more in the interest of the woman than the man; that the woman had her third always, even whero the property waa in. cumbered with dobt; that taxes were imposed cn property, not persons, and that it made NO DIYFERENCE WHETHER IT WAS HRLD Y A WOMAK Ok A JAN. The ides fhat wages coufd be affected by the vote and legislasion he thought an absurdity. ‘Wages, he eaid, depended on the law of supply snd demsnd. If au employer could employ & man for the same price a8 & woman he would prefor the msn usually, simply because he was capsblo of uninterrunted labor. When women ufi( of this matter thoy seemed;to forget, he re- marksd, that ““these ‘men™ who made thess 1aws were fzthars, and sons, and hutbands, and brothers, scd that they had the interests of their fominine relatives in mind, etc. Bot it wes sltogether abswrd to think that, even i they wore not justly dealt with, the baliot-box conld right every evil. There sro porsons in America jto-day who think that the Moseish of the United Biates is the bellot-box. But we were suffering now from too much of this ballot-box business, and if it was extended the present dangor would be increased, and be believod thas the time was st hand whea it 7ill be found thattho ballot- box iz an idal, FOBSIBLY A DETIL, CERTALTLY NOT A 6OD. As for s natural democracy, it was impossible. Only & representative_democracy is possible. Even the most ideal of Republican Goveroments must be ropresontative. 'Lhe smaller the repre- sontation the better. It waspevor a matter of complaint, b said, that men wore not allowed to vote until they were 21; and this law was,like all the rest, a matter of expediency ; nod under this bead he considered the demoralization which would come to women if thoy had the vote. We saw what voting had come to only amongst men. The argument that women would purify polincs he thought only another of tbo fallacies of the woman-suffrage people. Wherever they had had apything to do with politica they had marred, not made it better. The femals lobbyists at Washington wore cited as tke mogst unserupu- lous of politiciana. .And goiog to France, botl in this century snd the last, some of the moet monstrous 8cie Were commit- ted by women.“ The resson why women wero better and purer than men now was becaawe tney were out of public Efe.

When Mr. Elder, therefora, con- cluded, there was & genersl flatter of feminine featbers, a general expectancy and glancing towards the doorway, whore Col. Higginson was seated. Aud as two or three seconds of silence ensued, I think that all we women folk waxed Dot oply impatient but wroth. Were wa to be cheated of our tilt after all? Waa this stranger within the gates to eit there and tell ue that he bad solved all the feminine problem, and put us all neatly away ia_idesl little packages, marked, “Iiome, Sweet Home,” and not a voics be raited to dispute his authority, not even the voics of our Captsin of the campsign? But no, this dizappointment, this homiia- lion, was mnot to be ours. Right in the midat of our fesrs, Mr. Waason broko thaice by saying that ho wea glad to hesr the essayiat dealare that A NATURAL DEMOCRACY WAS TMPOSSIBLE and the like views of representative government, becanse the idea that there was such & thing as 2 personal »ight to vots wa3 absurd, not caly such a8 po rational being conid entertein, but immorsl. Thers can, he said. be no such thing as 8 universal right to a function ; it can be faltilled only on condition of preparation, edu- cation, and fitness. An unconditioned function is something not to bo thougit of. We who know 23fr. Was80n well, know how strong was his betict that educational suflrags alone is deguable, wers expectunt of this poiwt from him, but we kuew far better than the essayist did how faroX be was from any fartner sympathy, sod whon be presently quistly said, But 1f yon make itin this connery the nalural right of every cinzen to vote, I don’ taes, I nover did see, why & womaa bedu's justas good aright to the ballotass msn. With 3Mr. Wagson it was merely & point of fitness ragardless of sex, aad the anexpected- ness of this conclusion, after his complimens to begin with, was svidently s surprise to the listening blr. Elder. But_little he knew the ways of these Radicals. Little he knew that their favorite mode of warfers was fo mine an antagonigt with **soft sswder,” and just wheo he thonght ha had msde s convert, or was lesding on to victory, suddenly flash woald come the fire of opposition, sad confusion worae confounded enxusd to the misguided op- ponent. And 0 following in thasa ways, Col. Higginson began at Iast to speak. He compli- mented the esssyist. Eo was very glad to hear the welt-uriiten paper. Hs thooght wo nesded just such papers—juss such bold, frank statements from tna other side, elo., eic. He proceeded in thia adazio style for a min- ute or two, and then ina damwsa topa, *1 am vary glasd to bear Mr. Elder apd XEr.

Ob,"” retorted Mr. Wasson, who has no sort of respect ;for our {much-tragged-of fundamen- tal principles, **1 could have dons that in Aalf @ fninute Genera! laughter here. Besuming bis politest tooe again, the Colonel wept on to eay that he must confass that, for himself, he conldn's help believing what he knew wonld forfeit his right to be called “s ratiooal being” by AIr. Waseon, and he waa really very desirous of that gentleman’s good opinion; but he must believe in the personal right to the ballot his opinion the question of suffrage was reslly @ test of the possibility of self, and the conntry must either go forward and grant the ballat to woman, or backward. He combaited the ides with great warmth that the laws were just to women through the sole adminisiration of men, and showed, by some facts that conld not be disproved, that such laws a8 had been smeliorated were ameliorated through just this investigation of the matter by the agitation of tho womaun-suffrage question. He rose to a point of emotionsl eloquence that I have never heard st the philosophical discassions, when he spoke of the law that gives to the father the custody of the child. Any widowed mother hers, Lie gaid, is liable, if a will should be found giv~ iog her minor child into the custody of another than hereelf, to be robbed of the child she bore. The words sound tame enough, but the passion- ato earnestness which Col. Higginson feels upon this matter so communicated itself to his voice, and manner, and gesture, that THE WEHOLE COMPANY WAS THRILLED. Mr. Abbott, of the Inder, threw n his vote with Col. Bigginson, and, after s fow sharp shota batwesn the two sod Mr. Wasson and his unbelief in fuondsmental principles 28 applied by our Government, the mesting broke up or adjourned at the lats hourof 2 o'clock, being & three hours' sitting. Yet late 28 it was, there waa a chit-chat of a few min- utes longer in the doorways and halls, and the last thing I heard was a feminine voice saying, **1 naver can ea with Col.
