The HilIInrd Tournament.

This contest was continued on Saturday, IT.
vim Hall being well filled with an audience
which entertained the highest appreciation of
the game. Doery, of Washington, and Tieman,
Of Cincinnati, were the first on the board.
Much was not expected of Deery in this debate
with Tieman-he having been beaten by both
GOldthwaite and Estephe-iDasnuch as the lat.
ter had beaten Foley by no less than 2l5 points
Tieman took the lead, his two runs Of 70 and
7O on his seventh aud eighth innings placing
him $50 ahead. He turned the third hundred
2O5 in advAncej on the fourth hundred he led
no less than 242 points, and his winning was
regarded as a certainty. Deery, however, now
got the two red balls on the lower corner pocket
OfthG taLle, and made run of 315 points, which
carried him out, beating his opponent by ~
points only. The winner received a perfect
ovation Of applause on the termination of the
game. His average wac little over 10, aud
his highest run 3l5-the largest run ever made
by any player In the world IN public billiard
match.
The next match wab between Kavanagh and
GOldthwaitj Kayanagh maintained his high
reputation by taking the lead from the com
mencement, and winning, without being headed
or even approached, by 246 points, or nearly
One-half the game HE average was 10, and
highest run l6S
In the evening the tournament was between
Messrs. Foley of Cleveland, and Dsery of Wash,
ingtOn. This was tho most closely contested
game Of the series, as Foley, on his fortieth
innings, was 49S, lacking two points only To
win, when Deery, by fine play, won tho game,
by two points only.
The last game Of the week was between
Messrs. Teman and Fox, aud after a most OK,

SIEGE OF PORT HUDSON.
Gen. Banks OmcIal RePOTt-Our Loss
IOOO-The Negro Troops Com mpllme N te


I,OOO-The Negro Troops COmPlIme nted.
G,4. Banks, in his official report, dated be-
tore Port Hudson, May SOth, giyes.an account
Of the attack at that place, similar to the facts
already published. In speaking of the negro
troops he says they answered every eXpeCta-
tiOn. Their conduct was herOical. No troops
could be more determined or more daring.
They made, during the day, three charges
upon the batteries of the enemy, suffering very
heavy losses, and holding their position at night
fall with the other troops on the right of our
line. The highest COmmeudatiOn Is bestowed
upon them by all the officers in command on
the right. Whatever doubts may have existed
heretofore as to the efficiency of organizations
of this character, the history of this day proves
cOnclusively to those in a condition 10 observe
the conduct Of these regiments, that the Gov.
ernmeDt will find in this class Of troops effect
i've supporters and defenders.
The severe test 10 which they were subjected
and the determined manner In which they Gu
couutered the enemy, leaves upon my mind nc
doubt of their ultimate success, they requiring
only good officers, commands of limited mum
bers and careful discipline TO make them eG
cellent soldiers.
Our losses from the Esd to this date, In killed
wounded aud missing, are nearly one thousand
including, deeply regret to say, some Of tn
aolest officers Of the corps.

THE CITY OF WASHINGTON - THE
MUD AND DUsT.-NO. 1.

In wet weather the exclamation of a visitor
or stranger in Washington is, "How muddy
the streets arel'' And in dry, How dusty II
Isl" In winter some persons speak as II 1t were
colder, and iH summer hotter, than elsewhere
this side of the tropics. Il ID misfortune that
the city Of Washington cannot be adapted TO
the tastes as we'll as the temperatures Of all
newcomers and sojOurners, unless these suit
themselves to all the climatic and "irrepresSi-
BILE surroundings.
One thing We have certainly noticed in favor
Of Washington, namely: ALL WHO CAN MAKE
LIVING HERE REMAIN. And It is creditable to
gentlemen who have served on the bench, in
Congress, and as foreign ministers, 10 say they
willingly accept office here under the General
Government, and seem happy to settle in the
midst Of US.
Within the past two years many merchants
have given increased stimulus to business; and
as for public office, we have yet to learn that
the Government has been compelled to adver-
u5e for "help!"
1t needs no philosopher to demonstrate that
where there is mud in wet weather, there is
dust in dry. 1t will be worthy of annual cele-
bration when by some happy invention, these
substances shall no longer exist TO excite the
ire Of pedestrians, and to disconcert fastidious
housekeepers.
Muddy and dusty as the avenues and streets
are, there was a period of time, however, when
they were worse. "Old stagers" remember
the great thoroughfare when 1t was macadam-
ized, and when furious blasts peppered the pc
destrians with gritty particles Of flint. Blu
paving stones have succeeded that arrangement
and, as a consequence, there lie an improve
ment.
Some Of our streets have been paved by pri
vate enterprise, in the absence of the Govern
nent thus attending to its own proper affairs
The streets belong to the Government, be it re
membered-a fact not generally known. Tn
passage of army wagons has done much mis-
chief in cutting up unpayed roads and streets
But how can our citizens help this
The Government owns millions upon million
of real estate In this city, on which 1t pays n
taxes. Were the Corporation Of WAshingto
in receipt Of funds from this Source-the asSesl
ment the same as on private Property-ther
would be a mamm9uth system Of street in
provement, to astonlsh the natives as well a
all newcomers.
We state these facts preliminary to Others
which will follow in due time, in connection
with Washington, and in order to dsabuse tn
minds of those who, in the absence Of know
edge, too readily take occasion to utt0r thei
complaints, and hurl mud and kick up dust a
our goodly people for annoyances which, q
present, it Is not in their power to remedy.
