Rain to Help. ‘TUR WASHINGTONS FALL VICTIMS TO A WILD PITCHER AND THE CHICAGOS’ HEAVY BITTING — OTHER Gamers. A young man named Greening, unknown to fame, essayed to puzzle the hitters of Chicago yes- terday with shoots and curves and drops, but the ‘Windy Citymen seemed to like his style and batted out a victory 13t02. In the first two innings the Chicagos made a home run, two triples, a double and four singles, Mr. Greening made them a pres- sept of three bases on balls, and pitched wildly three times, giving a total result of nine runs in ‘these two innings. “The hits were seventeen for Chicago, while Krock heid the visitors down to five. Hoy was the only man who solved his curves, hitting bim for a single and a home run. With the exception of the battery errors, the flelding on Voth sides was nearly perfect; Greening making six errors and Deasley 1, afd tor Chicago, Ryab ‘and Daly taking one apiece. OTHER GAMES, New York hit Healy 19 times, and won the game from Indianapolis, 18 14. Sixteen of the 18 runs were earned. Keefe pitched four innings and then, complaining of sickness, gave way to Ewing. Me- Geachy alse took Healy's place iu the box. In- dianapolis hit 7 times, ‘The errors were 9 by In- dianapolls to 8 by New York. ‘The seven innings played in Pittsburg resulted in a victory for Philadelphia by a score of 2 to 1. ‘The contest was ciose and exciting. Henderson and Fields and Gleason and Clements were the Datteries. ‘The Phillies hit the narder, making 6 hits to Pittsburg’s 3. The errors were 3 by Phila- Geiphia to 5 by Pittsburg. Allof the runs were earned. ‘The game in Detroit was a slugging mateh, but the Bostons had_ the better eyes and bit for a vic~ tory. The score was 13 to 6. Sowders and O'Rourke and Conway and Bennett did the battery Work. Boston inade 17 bits and 8 errors, and De- Trott inde 11 hits and 5 errors, At Pliladelphia—Brookiyn, 5; Athletic, 2 At Cineinnati—st. Louls, 5; Clucinnatt, 7.

A dispatch from Detroit, announces that Rad. Dourne has signed with Boston for $5,000, aud that the money deducted (rom his salary while he was Under suspension last summer will be returned to bin, ‘This surprise in the form of a new pitcher among the Senators does not seem to suow up brilliantly at first, but there are hopes. ‘There 1$ one comfort at least in our hard luck— Indiapapolls joins us, and Pittsburg is slowly sliding down So close that it reminds one of last rear. *eWuit until we get our Jim back in the box, and then, perhaps, things will look different, Tue new order of Uhings—Donneliy at third and Irwin at suort—is a great improvement.

Sis Meeting of the Lawyers. ‘To the Eeitor of Tux Evesixo Stan ‘There is to be @ convention of lawyers at the capital on the 22d instant, an event not Itkely to attract the atteution due to its timportance. Seit- elective, it will undoubtedly fairly represent the Progressive and organizing elements of a body of men by training and habit of thought essentially conservative. It ts high time the bar awoke and Lestirred itself. ‘The third of the great co-ordinate Gepartments of the state and National Govern. ments is altuost exclusively and necessarily coun mitted to {ts hands. and while the other two may be said to have fairiy realized the purposes of theif creatorsin the production of fairly quod govern.

Ingersoll delivered a eulogy of the late Roscoe Conkling last evening in the pres ence of the members of the New York legislature, state oMicers and a throng of 3,000 persons at the Lark-street rink, in Albany. Colonel Ingersoll spoke for about one hour, Probably 10,000 people endeavored in vain to obtain a place where they could hear him. He said in substance, according to a special report in the Philadelphia Press: Roscoe Conkling, a great man, an orator, @ statesman, a lawyer, a distinguished citizen of the Tepublle, in the zenith of his fame and power has Teached his journey’send. He earned and beld a proud position in the public thought. He stood for independence, for courage, and above all for absolute integrity, and his name was known and honored by many millions of his fellow men. In the of death the good man judges as he would be judged. He knows that men are only fragments, that the greatest walk in shadow and ag faults and failures mingle with the lives of a Roseoe Conkling was a man of superb courage. He not only ncted without fear, but he had that fortitude of soul that bears the consequences of the course pursued without complaint, He was charged with being proud, ‘The charge was true— ‘he was ‘His knees were as inflexible as the are pris, Ha haeen coe fearate oa the vi rests on the opinion of otbers— pride on our own. This imperious man entered public life in the dawn of the reformation—at a time ‘when the country needed meu of pride, of princl- ple, and courage. ‘The institution of slavery had poisoned ali the springsof power. Before this erime ambition fell uy its knees—politictans, {udees, clergymen, merchant inces bowed iow and humbly, with their hats {n thetr hands, ‘The real tricnd’of man was denounced as the enemy of his country he real enemy of the human race was called @ statesman and a patriot. Slavery was the bond and pledge of peace, of union and national greatness, tt we temple of American liberty Was Luished—the auction block was the corner-stone, CONKLING’S COURAGE. At last the conflict came. The hosts of light and darkness prepared to meet upon the fields of war. ‘The question was presented, Shall the republic be slave or free? The republican party had triumphed atthe polls, The, greatest man in our history Was president-elect. ‘The victors were appalled— they ‘shrank from the great responsibility of success. In the presence of rebellion they hesl- tated —they offered to return the rruits of victory. Hoping to avert war, they were willing that slavery should become immortal. An amendment to the Constitution was proposed, to the effect Uhat no ‘subsequent ainendment should ever be made that in any way should interfere with the right Of man to steal Lis fellow-men, This, the most marvelous proposition ever subuitted to a cougress of civilized men, received in the House an overwhelming majority and the necessary tWo- thirds, in the, Senats. The repubitcan party, tm the moment of its trump, deserted every prinel- ple for which It had so gallant coutended, and With {ue trembling bands of fear laid its convictions on the altar of compromise. ‘The Old Guard, numbering but sixty-five in the house, stood as firm as the 300 at Thermopyle. ‘Thaddeus Stevens—as maliciously right as a other man was ever wrong—refused to kaeel Owen Lovejoy, remembering bis brother's poble blood, refused Lo surrender, and on the edge of dis- union, im the shadow of civil war, with’ the alr Glied With sounds of dreadful preparation, while the republican party was retracing its steps, Kos. ve Conkling Voted ho. ‘This puts a wreath of glory ou his tomb, From that vote to te last moment of his lite he was a champion of equal Tights, staunch and stalwart, From Unat moment he stood in the front rank. He never moved and he never swerved. By hls devotion to principle— his courage, the splendor of bis diction—by his varied and profound knowledge, his conscientious devotion to the great cause and by bis intellec- tual Scope and grasp, he won and held the admira- tion of his fellow-ien. Disastersin the nelds, re~ Yerses at the polls did not and could not shike his courage OF lis faith. He knew the ghastly mean- ing of defeat; he knew thut the great ship that slavery sought to strand and wreck was freighted With the world’s sublimest hope. ‘THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. ‘There are no words intense enough, with heart enough, to express my admiration for the great and gallant souls who have inevery age and every Jand upheld the right and who have lived and died for freedom’s sake. In our lives have been the grandest years that man has lived, that time has measured by the flight of Worlds, "he history of That great party tat let the oppressed go tree, that litted our nation from tue depths of savagery to freedom’s cloudless heigits, aud tore with holy hands from every law the words that sanctified the cruelty of tan, is the most glorious in the annals ot our race. "Never before was there such a moral exaltation—never a party with a purpose $0 pure and high. It was the embodied conscience of @ pation, the enthustasin of a people guided by Wisdom, the impersonation of justice, and. the sublime victory achieved that loaded’ even the conquered with all the rights Uuat treedoin can estow. Rosece Conkling Was an absolutely honest. man, jouesty 1s the oak around which all other virtues ing. “Without that they fall and groveling die in weeds and dust. “He believed that @ nation should discharge Its obligations, He felt that the promise of the Governinent Was the promise of every citle zen, that a national obligatwa Was a personal devt, He Utiered the splendid truth that “the higher ob- ligations among meu are not set down. in writing, signed and sealed, but reside in honor.” "He knew that repudiation’was the sacrifice of honor, the death of the national soul, He upheld the sacred. of contracts, of plighted national faith, and Iped to save und keep the honor of his native land. ‘This adds another laurei to his brow. THE INCORRUPTIBLE LEGISLATOR. He was the ideal representative, faithful and incorruptible. He believed that his constituents and his country were entitled to the fruit of his experience, to her best and highest thought, No man ever held the standard of responsibility higher than he. He voted according to his Judgment, his conscience, He made no bargains—he neither Dought nor sold. ‘To correct evils, abolish abuses and inaugurate reforms he believed Was not only tue duty but the privilege of a legislator. He neither Sold nor mortgaged himself. He was in Congress during the years of vast expenditure, of War aud Waste, when the credit of the nation was loaned to inaividuals, when claims were thick as leaves in June, when the amendment of a statute, tue change of 'a single word, meant millions, and when empires were given to corporations, He stood at the summit Of his power—peer of the greatest, a leader Uied and trusted. lie had the tastes of @ Prince, the fortune of # peasant, yet he never pwerved. | No corporation was gfeat enough oF rich enough to purchase him. His vote could not be bought “for all the sun sees, or the close earth Wombs, or the profound seas hide.” His hand was never touched by any bribe, aud On his soul there never Was a sordid stain, Poverty was lls price- Jess crown, Above his marvelous Intellectual gifts, above all place he ever reached, above the ermine he re- iused, rises his Integrity lke some great mountain peak—aud there it stands firm as the earth be- heath, pure asthe stars above, He was a great lawyer. He understood the framework, the an- atomy, the foundations of law, Was familiar with the great streams aud currents and Udes of au- thority. He knew the history of legislation, the principles that have been settled upon the elds of War. He Was a student of the Constitution. He knew the boundaries of state and tederal jurisdic. Uon, and no man was more familar with those great decisions that are the peaks and promon- Uorles, the headlands aud the Deacons of the law. He was an orator, earnest, logical, intense and Pleturesque, He laid the foundation with care, with accuracy and skill, and rose by “cold gradat Uon and well-balanced form” from tbe corner. Stone of statement to tne domed conclusion. He Milled the stage. He satistied the eye—the dience was his’ He had that indeflnable thing called presence. ‘Tall, commanding, erect, ample iu speech, graceful in ‘compltment, Titantie in de- nunclation, rich tn illustration, prodigal of com: Parison and metaphor, and bis sentences, meas. ured and rhythmical, {ll like music on the enrap- tured throng. 2 THE MAN AND MIS TRAITS. He abborred the Pharisee and loathed all conscl- entious fraud. He had @ profound aversion tor those who insist on putting base motives back of the good deeds of others. He wore no mask, He knew his friends—bis enemies knew him. He had ho patience with pretense—with patnotic ns for unmanly acts. He did his work and braver Spoke Lis thought. He never turned aside to avoid a foe or to gain a friend, In his nature there was no comprotise. ‘To hum there were but two pat the right and Wrong. He Was maligned, tis resented, and misunde but he would not answer.’ He knew that character speaks louder far tan any Words. He was as silentthen as he is now—and his silence, better than any form of speech, refuted every charge. ‘Me Was an American—proud of bis country, that was and ever will be proud of him. He dia bot find perfection only in other land&. He aid hot TOW small and shrunken, withered and apolegetic in the presence of those upon whom greatness had deen thrust by chance, He could not be overawed by dukes or lords, nor flattered into vertebrateloss subserviency by the patronizing stulles of kings: In the midst of conventionalives he had ‘tne ter, ing Of siffocation, He believed im the royalty of man, in the sovereigaty of the citizen and in the matchless greatness of this republic. He wasot the classic mould—a fzure trom the ‘antique World. “He bad the pose of the great statues, the pride And bearing of the intellectual Greek, of the conquering Koman, and he stood in the wide, tree ir ag though witiin his veins there flowed the Dlood of @ hundred kings. ‘And as he lived he died. i i af Hs H f 5 f i 1858.
