PLATTEVILLE, CREEDMOOR. The International Shooting MatchThe Americans Victorious. The international shooting match between the Irish and American rifle teams occurred at Creedmoor Range on the 26ch ult. Below we give an account of the interesting affair. At New York the morning ferry-boats from James slip and East Thirty-fourth street were crowded with passengers to Hunter's Point, and trains to Creedmoor were so loaded that many persons were unable to obtain seats.
The pleasant weather WAS the subject of general congratulation. The Range presented a picturesque appearance. White tents dotted its surface, and flags of various nations were suspended over the entrance, the American and Irish colors being conspicuous. The reserved space extending for abont twenty feet behind the workmen was surrounded by a rope, and crowding against this were dense lines of speetators, the Irish element promibent. In the enclosure were the American and Irish teams, and their reserve scorers, and a few invited guests.
Maj. Leech, captain of the Irish team, and Col. Wingate, captain of the American, were chosen referees, and Shaler umpire. At a quarter past eleven, firing was begun at 800 yards range, each marksman having fifteen shots. The shooting was witnessed with the most lively interest, the frequent bull's eyes exciting loud murmurs of applause among the spectators, who at first also hailed them by rounds of hand clapping.
At the earnest request of the captains of both teams these demonstrations were subdued, as having a tendency to disturb the marksmen. The result of the competition; which lasted an hour and a quarter, was in doubt, almost up to the close, when it was found that the Americans were winners by nine points, 326 to 317. The result of the first contest gave great -couragement to the friends of the An. rican riflemen, and many confidently predicted their success in all their trials. The shooting was followed by an intermission for luncheon.
in one of the tents, when congratulations were exchanged, and in a complimentary speech Maj. Leech presented to the rifle association, in behalf of the Irish team, a handsome silver vase, as a trophy, to be subject to annual competition, and asa memorial of the international match. A handsome silver badge was aF the same time presented to Col. Wingate, captain of the American team, by Capt. Leech.
Soon after 2 o'clock the firing was resumed at the 900 yards range, and the result was in favor of the Irish team by two points. Both teams immediately moved to the 1000 yard range, and the result of the firing here was favorable to the Irish by four marks, but these later triumphs were not sufficient to enable the visitors to overcome their defeat at short range, and the Americans won the match, as the following scores show. The aggregates by marksmen at the different ranges were made out of possible score of 60. The following is the score made by the respective teams at different distances. Yards.

Lientenant Fulton followed with 9 bull's eve, giving the Americans at the start a lead of 1 point, a vantage gained, which was increased to 9 points at the end of the 800-vard score, the American standing 326, Irish 317-each in a possible of 360. this range Fulton, of the Americans, and Hamilton, of the Trish, beyond doubt the best shots on the ground, each made. 58 in a possible 60; that is, bull's eves in 15 shots. The crowd early resolved itself into two factions, the Irish present 'assembling along the rope before the Irish targets, while the general New Yorker and the friends of the Amatenr Rifle Club, favoring the American team, were found before the targets occupied their favorites. At the ontset a disby position to cheer and applaud the making of a fine shot was shown, but noise disconcerting the shooters, it quired the utmost persuasive powers Major Leech and Captain Wingate induce the crowd to repress their feelings of exultation.
The greatest plause, it was noted, came from Irish wing of the crowd. The interest in the shooting was kept up to the end, and the absorbing interest taken may be judged of from the fact that nearly 5,000 people, to which limit the crowd increased by later trains, stood unflinchingly from 10 until nearly P. in a good hot sun, crowded gether, watching shot after shot four several targets at the same time, eeping themselves well informed of arying chances of the marksmen. onduct of the spectators was a surprise the managers.

the finish of the 800-yard firing a recess for lunch was taken, and while the eral crowd resorted to the eating in the rear, the teams and their guests partook of an excellent lunch in a tent, The lunch being finished, the riflemen again returned to the work before targets at 900 yards. Here the two ties brought themselves down to workin dead earnest, the Irishmen to wipe the balance of nine points against and the Americans to raise their advantage as high as their skill would permit.

The bark is stripped off and manipulated and twisted by the squaws into twine, which is wound into balls ready for use. It is then woven into nets, some of which are forty feet in length, the interstices being about two inches square. These nets are swung between two trees in some convenient position on the shore of a lake or pond. Early on a cold frosty morning some of the Indians secrete themselves in a neighboring thicket, while others get into boats, and forming a semi-circle, advance slowly toward a flock of ducks, driving them toward the mouth of the bayou. They swim slowly off, hesitating to take flight, being, perhaps, partially benumbed by cold.
The circle narrows; and when the wild fowl are in front of the nets the Indians in the boats raise a great outcry, and throwing sticks and stones scare the flock, which arising from the water flies in an opposite direction directly into the net, in the meshes of whiel they become entangled by their heads and feet. The Indians on shore spring from their hiding -places, tear down the net, and envelope the ducks in it. They are joined by their companions from the water, and the work of slaughter commences. The necks of the birds are broken as soon as siezed, and they are thrown together in piles. In this manner several hundred ducks are taken at a single haul, and the Indians have enough for their own use, and an ample supply for the Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle, September 10.
Brave Deed, by which Two Lives Were Saved. To the already long roll of American railroad heroes must be added the name of Thomas Furlong, baggage master 011 the Old Colony Railroad's New Bedford express train. Mr. Furlong happened to be riding on one of the switching engines in the Boston yard, which was backing over the draw. Just as the enfine was entering the bridge structure, Mr.
Furlong noticed two men starting to walk over the narrow timbers on which the rails are laid, and seeing their peril, he told the engineer to shut off, and then prepared for the rescue of the men. One of them was struck by the engine and thrown to one side, where he lodged, comparatively uninjured. The other man had proceeded further on the timber, and if struck by the engine would have been thrown lengthwise on the rail, and consequently ent in halves. Mr. Furlong reached forward, and taking the man by the chin raised him from the track, with the intention of carrying him across to the- other side; but.
his strength being unequal to this task, he lifted the man clear of the rail and dropped him over into the water. By this time the engine was slowed considerably, so that, leaping off, Mr. Furlong and the fireman secured a boat-hook and fished the man from the water. The rescued men were employed as divers at the Broadway bridge draw pier, and were filled with gratitude to their daring rescuer. This is by no means Mr.

The Discovery of Francis Joseph LandPolar Explorations Declared Useless.
Correspondence of the N. Y. World, CHRISTIANA, Norway, August link has been formed in the chain of discovery which is eventually to unite the now unknown regions of the Arctic Ocean to the civilized world, and this time the finders are of the Austrian nation. The discovery which they have made will render their names famous in the now but partially unrolled record of Arctic Discovery. I have just had a long and interesting conversation with Captain Payer, the leader of the expedition.
You have already heard of the expedition as given by the men themselves. It is a wonderful story. Circ*mstances which they could not control guided these men to the discovery of what may prove to be a long sought Arctic continent. It is certain that they have discovered a new land and one of great extent. After Count Wilezee's departure the steamer was headed northeast, according to original plan of the expedition.
But the ice was forming fast and they soon found themselves completely enfolded in the drifts. To navigate was an impossibilitv. Fourteen long months this steamer and these men were imprisoned in the mighty floes and carried with them in their never-ceasing motion. Then in December. 1873, land hove in sight.
The ice with which they were floating was brought to a standstill by the land. The party disembarked, and with dogs and sledges journeyed inland. The land was composed of mountains of dolomite formation, separated by huge glaciers. The dolomite appeared in some places 88 2 compact limestone, and in others in huge crystalline granulated rocks of A cloudy color. But little vegetation of any kind was noticed, and with the exception of a few Arctic birds, no animal life was observed.
The party traveled northward to latitude 82 and then returned to their ship. From the point gained the land extended to the north and west as far as the eve could reach. The discoverers named the land Francis Joseph Land." The great question now to be settled is, What is this Francis Joseph Land which Captain Payer has discovered Our geographers here are undecided, some holding that it is a continent by itself.and others that it is a part of Eastern Greenland. This latter theory is stoutly maintained by the followers of Petermann, who have always maintained that the abrupt and mountainous coast of East Greenland trnds away to the northeast slightly beyond Scoresby's furtherest point north of Spitzbergen. The absence of animal life is important in settling this question, for Hayes tells 118 that the whole region around the shores of Smith's Sound "teems with animal life, and one good hunter could easily feed twenty The sea abounds in walrus, seal, narwha, and white whale, the land in raindeer, foxes, eider wild geese, snipe, and gulls of various description, and the ice is the roaming of bears.
Francis Joseph Land seems to have none of these but this fact may be explained by the presence of colder currents than in Smith's Sound, and the failure of the explorers to find animal life in their brief journey is not conclusive evidence of its non-existence. No limit has vet been discovered to the existence of animal life within the Arctic Circle, and a failure to discover it immediately in this new region should not be regarded as absolute proof of its absence. A Blind King's Homage to the Beautiful. The blind King of Hanover has returned to Paris to have another look at the art treasures of the city, for, although all indefatigable sight seer when with us a year ago, he could not get through all there was to be seen. This may seem an odd way of speaking of a blind man, but there is not much exaggeration about it.
King George sees with the eyes of his daughter, echo has a faculty possessed by few. With her father upon her arm, she enters a museum or any public place and begins a conversation in a low, running voice, giving in few words a general idea of the room and of the people in it, then going into details as they go on. The King enters like a man with good eyes, and when on his daughter's arm, never fails to return the salutes addressed to him from whatever direction they may come. It is evident, therefore, that there is some system of telegraph known to the two, and from long habit the King has become so expert that he rarely makes a mistake. At a soiree he 18 led up to the host or hostess, bows at the right moment, and goes through the ceremony with all the ease of a man who can see.
He pays most unexpected compliments, when the daughter, with out saying a word, telegraphs that a lady is young and beautiful; and when surprise is expressed King George gallantry replies that he sees with his soul. When I saw him at the Louvre I longed for an opportunity to hear what the Princess said as they went from picture to picture, the King looking intently upon the wall, but could hear nothing but a low hum too indistinct to be comprehended by ears less attentive than those of her father. Her Ianguage can not be understood by others, even when not spoken with the usual rapidity. It is very touching to see the love and devotion of this young cess. An Independent View.
From a strictly independent position the New York Evening Post claims that a very large majority of the Democratic party 44 in the central, western and southerr states profess doctrines and support candidates whose success would be more detrimental and dangerous to the good name of our country than the maintenance of the Republican party, with all its deficiencies, inconsistencies and divisions, in In other words the Post asks the question which the intelligent people are putting, and that is, What earthly good could come from displacing the Republicans and putting in the Democrats? To this the Democratic organs, speakers and platforms, cannot give any satisfactory or logcal naswer. The Way They Protect the Laborer. Already a bank has been capitalized to bear the expenses of the Democrotic campaign in this state. The Domocratie superintendents of the Erie Canal have made a uniform assessment of from 820 to 830 on every employee of the canal, and deducting it from the pay for July, making them sign the usual voucher for the full amount. By this system of robbery a corruption fund has been extorted which, if all the laborers are assessed, will amount to from 000 to 8200,000.
This is the way in which the Democracy protect the laborer in his rights and carry out their boasted plan of reforming and purifying the government and our political system. -N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. LIECT-COL.

NUMBER 19. Louisiana and the Democracy. From the Winoua Minn. Republican. On the first page of the Republican, to-day, will be found a brief report of a remarkable speech recently delivered by Senater Morton on the situation of affairs in the south generally, and Louisiana in particular.
The Senator very properly, in this connection, calls attention to certain events in the history of reconstruction in Louisiana which have a direct bearing upon the recent insurrection as showing the animus of the ex-rebels in their opposition to any and all measures lookirg to political equality for negroes. We have only to go back eight years to confront the terrible massacre of defenceless Republicans in New Orleans in August, 1866, when a Republican Convention was broken up by an armed mob. of the same ruffians who were prominent in the late outbreak. More than two hundred men were killed and wounded in that attack, according to the report of an impartial committee of Congress. In 1868, the state, heretofore governed by a Provisional Governor, was reconstructed, and, at a general election held in May of that year, the Republican State ticket was chosen by a majority of 26,000.
The Ku-Klux were immediately organized, and in the summer followmore than 2,000 persons, white and black, were killed. These figures are not guess-work. Official documents, unhappily, the record. Terrorism and blcodshed did their perfect work. Counties that gave thonsands of Republican votes in the spring gave only hundreds in the fall of the year; and in counties where hundreds of Republican votes were cast in May, only one or two votes were cast in November.
Fear kept the voters away from the polls. In Louisiana the domination of the anti-negro, anti Republic, secret, oath-bound organizations, Was complete. The terrorism of 1868 was followed by another atrocions act of butchery in 1873 the massacre of one hundred negroes in Grant Parish, in April, for which, as in the other cases, not one of the perpetrators has ever been punished and very few even arrested. Republicans north and south cannot forget that these men who impudently appealed to the people of the north for sympathy in their late insurrection inelnde 111 their number the cut-throats who, butchered the delegates of the New Orleans Convention in 1866, who murdered 2,000 citizens in 1868, and who massaered, by fire and bullet, one hundred citizens who were acting as a sheriff's posse in 1873. These are the men with whom northern Democrats affiliate and sympathize.
They will one day be recognized as the worst foes of the south, and they would long since have been driven into silence and obscurity but for the political aid. sympathy and encouragement which they have received from the Democracy of the north. Senator Morton has truthfully said in his speech that there can be no peace in the south until the south recognizes and enforces the principle that the fundamental principle of this government is liberty, equality, and equal rights to all. So long as this principle is menaced, north or south, there will be dissension and violence. We have no patience with the co*ck-and-bull stories of negroes arming for any purpose in time of profound peace and without provocation.
They know their lives are daily menaced; and above every other question of the day is this Shall every citizen be protected by law in this life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? Party Issues. Party Issues. From the Buffalo Express, In relation to the great financial question the Republican party has but one course that it can consistently pursue. must take its stand squarely on the platform of principles set forth substantially in the President's famous memorandum- declaring unequivocally in favor of no expansion, the earliest possible return to specie payments, the steadfast maintenance of good faith, and full discharge of all national obligations. The Democratic party, as is well known, is rent into fragments on this question.
Illinois has witnessed the spectacle of two Democratic State conventions, one favoring hard money, and the other clamoring for greenbacks. In Indiana, also, we see one faction led by Voorhees in favor of unlimited inflation, and the hard- faction is marshalled by Holmau. And while the Democratic State ticket is sustained on the Pendletonian platform of greenbacks for bonds and inflation without stint, Kerr and Holman are running for Congress in the Democratic district as the pronounced opponents of the inflation heresy. The case in Ohio is nearly identical. In the southern Congressional districts of the State, Pendleton and paper money are the watchwords of the party, while Toledo and other northern districts sustain Thurman and the resumption of specie payments.
Surely no party ever did present so Indicrous an attitude of any one subject as the Democrats do on this vexed financial question at the present time. If there is any one thing on which the Democracy is united it is in the hatred of the negroes. Its disposition to trample on the rights of the weak, and to oppress by wholesale persecution and disfranchisem*nt those who are opposed to it, is one of the marked features of its chaarcter, and is just now making itself unpleasantly conspicuous in fomenting those disturbances, which threaten the peace and prosperity of so large a portion of the south. Every day it becomes more manifest that the war of races inaugurated by the southern democracy is incited from purely political motives, and is fast assuming a form that warrants the belief that the enfranchisem*nt of the colored race and their protection in the enjoyment and exercise of their rights as citizens will be prominent issue in our national politics for the next two years. Nothing can be more supremely foolish and suicidal than the policy which the southern Democrats have adopted in relation to the colored race.
The virtual proscription of the negroes by the high-handed tyranny of white leagues is an outrage on all justice and common sense. Thousands of ex-rebels in the south not only enjoy equal political rights with loyal citizens, but even hold office and dispense patronage. But, although they have been reinstated in the rights which they forfeited by bellion; and have taken a solemn oath support the Constitution, they are rebels still. Every word affords fresh evidence that they hate the Constitution, or at least those parts of it which confer the same political rights on others that they enjoy themselves, and that their determination is to crush the negro neath the heel of a new despotism, which will comprehend all the horrors of tion, very then, which the nation will except the name.

And so the baby's come at last, And must wish you joy! Why couldn't it have been a girl, And not another boy A little winsome, witching sprite, A sweet and loving lass, Is what yon need; this might have gone Where little boys are scarce The rustle of those tiny skirts Run into merry tunes, And bows and sashes have a charm Not found in pantaloons. And it I had the management Of such affairs I know Just where the little baby boys And baby girls should go. But Providence its gifts bestows Our wisdom to perplex, And we must greet the babies with love, Regardless of their sex. But though I'm glad the baby's come, And haste to wish you joy, I wish it were a little girl, And not another boy!

A singular and affecting trait is recorded of the bison when young.
Whenever a cow bison falls by the hand of the hunter, and happens to have a calf, the helpless creature, instead of attempting to escape, stays by its fallen lam, with many expressions of strong affection. The mother being secured, the hunter makes no attempt on the calf because that is unnecessary, but proceeds to ent up the carcass; and then, laying it on his horse, he returns home, followed by the young one, which thas instinctively follows the remains of its parent. A hunter once rode into the town of Cincinnati, between the Miames, followed in this manner by three calves, all of which had just lost their dams. publish a new paComet, with an orig. tale each week.
that the Irish had made 312 points, while the American team had scored but 310. Both sets of men had fallen away, but the visitors seemed best able to overcome the difficulties of this medium and awkward range. Their gain of two points still left them seven points. behind at the aggregate score, but the range still remained, and at this distance the Irish were confessedly superior. The spirits of the Irish backers were raised, and at the same time the determination of the American riflemen to win, or die game.
The Irish riflemen themselves, however, did not seem so sanguine. From the very start, or at least when it was known that they were some points behind, they seemed to shoot with a sullen display of grit. They consulted one with another in whispers, and went to and from the firing rug without a glance of outward notice of the immense throng present. Large beads of perspiration stood out upon their foreheads, and at every instant's grace from loading or firing they dodged under the umbrellas with which they were provided. With the prospect of a stern chase, and to them an uncomfort able hot day, they were under a load which even their superior science and long experience could not remove.
The fight, however, was a desperate one. Slowly they stretched themselves along the ground, steadily they took aim, care and deliberation marked every step, and that they. were doing their very best is evidenced in the tact that by their own admissions they had never surpassed their record of yesterday. The excelience of one team seemed to inoculate the other with the fever of luck and skill, and while the Americans forged ahead until at one stage in the match they were forsteen points. ahead, the Irishmen closed the gap, and at their finish, which occurred several shots before their rivals, it was actually found that they were ahead.
Then came the eritical moment of the whole day's sport. The Irishmen had done their workhind placed themselves upon the record beyond possibility of change, and the Americans had yet several shots to make. Lieutenant Fulton asked to know the opposite score before firing his last shot, and 88 a consequence of his anxiety and worry made a center, leaving the Irishmen one point ahead. Only the few scorers and courters were aware of this. In the rapidity of the closing shots the erowd had lost track of the course of things, and it was not generally known that the Americans were behind.
Had it been so it is not unlikely that the excitement would have run so high as to destroy the steadiness of the one American upon whom the national chances now depended. Colonel Bodine had not vet shot. If he missed this, his last trial, the Americans lost the prize by but one point. If he made a four would be added to his aggregate, and their opponents would be left three points in the rear. Knowing this, and with the blood running across his hand from a wound received from a broken ginger-ale bottle a few moments before, Colonel Bodine stretehed himself carefully out, grasped his familiar weapon with firm hand.
and taking a long, steady aim, fired. The crowd stood, not one moved, several thousand pairs of eyes fixed upon one little point, a half a mile off, looking for the metal disc which indicates the opening of the trap for the marking of a shot. There it is! cried one; and in a second more the white bull's-eve disk came slowly up, as if from a weary marker's hand, and rested plainly before the bull's-eye, covering its blackness from the gladdened eyes of at least half the crowd. No sooner had the mere edge of the dise appeared than such a shout went 11p as notified all those on the range that the match was over. No need of asking who had won- the character of the cry told it at once.
Everybody looked on Colonel Bodine as in some measure the savior of the national honor, when in fact he had simply fired, by mere chance, the closing shot. REDUCTION IN RATES. The warfare in regard to steerage rates between steamship lines to Liverpool and Glasgow- which appeared to be ended about a month ago, by agreement in England between the companies comprising the conference-has broken out afresh, with all its former bitterness. A meeting of the agents was held in New York, but the nature of the disenssion can only be surmised, 88 the representatives of the different lines are pledged to each other not to make publie the details of the controIt is understood, however, that the Cunard Company WAS the first to make an actual reduction in the steerage rates so lately advanced--the decrease which took place yesterday being a change from $27 to $15 for passage from this port to Liverpool. Nearly all the other companies have imitated this action since yesterday.
The National and State lines have reduced their steerage rates from $25 to $15: the Inman from 830 to $15; the White Star line from 927 to 815, and the Williams and Guion line from 825 to $20. The rate of the Anchor line to Glasgow still remained at $25. It rumored that the disruption of the conference resulted from a rivalry between the Cunard and National lines, in regard to the Boston trade, but no- positive information on the subject can be obtained, for the reason already given. THE RETURN RIFLE MATCH. In regard to the challenge of the Irish Team for an international match in Dublin next year George W.
Wingate, President of the American Amateur Rifle Club, writes that the expenses of such an undertaking will be very great, and will probably form the main obstaele to the matter being carried to a suecessful conclusion. If this can be arranged, I think it is very possible that a team may be had to cross the ocean to shoot a return, match, and who, if they may not succeed in bearing off the palm of victory, should endeavor to bear their defeat: with the same magnanimous spirit which has been displayed by our Irish friends. BANKS CALLED UPON. The National Bank Redemption Agency has called upon national banks, within the last six days for about 000,000 in legal tender notes, to. reimburse it for their notes redeemed.

There died in Allegheny, re cently, an old man, who, the Pittsburg Commercial says, had at one time, according to his own account and the factsthat can be ascertained concerning his history, strong aspirations to a throne in Europe.
His name was John William Leakar, and his age sixty seven years. He had been in this country 14 years, and in Allegheny thirteen years. He came from Saxony, where, according to accounts, he was a man of great wealth and high postion. A revolntionary movement was started, and Leskar, placed himself at the head of it. Had the movement succeeded, he WAS to have been placed on the Saxon throne.
The revolution was a failure, and the throne did without Leskar. Worse than that, his estate was confiscated, and he became an exile. He came tothis country, and accepted the exciting career of barber in Allegheny City. A day or two since he became ill, and he died in such poverty that the authorities will have to bury him. Leskar has a brother and a son now in Saxony.
The brother is a man of great wealth, and the son, it is said, is attached to the Court of the present ruler. It is stated that the influence of friends conld have saved Leskar from exile, and his property from confiscation, but he would not permit such influence to be nsed.
