The Sporting Lile says: For a ern JLeagu season to put wituouit squabbles and a more or less serious shiadr would be a refreshing novelty.

l4win of MonUopierr, enough dubs signed a call for a meeting to be held in Montgomery, Aasut 27. ieto-deut Uenslinger, however, refused to call the meeting as requested, and instead called a meeting fur New Orleans, September 5. Vina President Erwia was successful over rfeaident tienslinger in having tho League meet hrld at Montgomery, August 37.

The statement shows ex penditures of 1 2.435. This embraces telMrima nmaires. railway fares, ex press on balls, stamps, stationery, becre- larr'n aalarv. ts to the amount of $100.94. There remain due.

according to the statement. $146.3, which President Genslinger had applied for to meet current expenses. The League declined to approve the statement, and appointed Mr. Jurwin a ooinmntee ko to new (irWn. mnd examine the Dooks.

It was the sense of the meeting that Gen slinger has been extravagant witn the League's funds. Therewas strong talk at the meeting of asking Onalinger fur his reaiirnation. but st the afternoon meeting it was decided not to do so, but that he would be given an opportunity ta reaiirn on a hint at the Droner time. From what was said at the meeting the. League seems to be sour on uenstinger's management.

One of the managers said after the meeting that Vice President Krwin would soon be President of the Southern League, as weu ss secretary and Treasurer. NOVEL EXCURSION.

To get this money it was issuing bonds, and to create a demand for them sod at the same time to provide a larger amount circulating medium, the National Bank Act was passed, becoming law June 3, 1864. It was intended "to provide a national currency, secured by a pledge ef United States bonds, eta.
