sharp shoo1ers3 Associatiou.


In the moath of June next there is to
be q great rife match, between all the
best shots in the various clubs which are
scattered over the United States. 1t is to
be given by the German Sharp Shooters
Association of Chicago, in their beautiful
grounds attached to the Lake View Hotel.
A large and extensive building is now be-
ing erected for the accommodation of the
shooters, at a cost of $4,000. The prizes
to be contested for will not be of any ex-
ceedlng value-the highest amounting to
only s2O0-but this is not the idea of the
gathering. It's not money they are to
shoot for, but fame and honest reputation.
And we have no doubt there will be some
tall shooting done. Already the prac-
ticing las commenced in all quarters. 1t
will be gathering during those four June
days that the exhibition will last, worthy
of the good old times of Lion-hesrted
Dick. King of England, and Robin Hood,
and his merry archers. There will be at
least four thousand contestants for the
honor of being the best shot, and sltogeth-
er, it is likely to be the best meeting Of its
kind ever held in this country.

XXXIXth Congress
WASHINGTON, April 20.
HOUSE

hOODL-
The first business in order to-day was the
call of committees for reports Of private
nature.
Mr.. WARD, from the Committee on
Claims, reported bill giving Ishmael Day,
of Baltimore, an annuity of S42l-50 as re-
cognition of his heroism in defending the
national flag from GilmOre's rebel raiders
on the 18th of July, 1854, and for his loss of
property on that occasion. According to the
report which was read, Mr.. Day is a
patriarchal patriot, seventy-four years Of
age, and when two Of Gilmore's raiders at
tempted to haul down the national flag over
his dwelling he shot one ofthem dead and
put the other to flight. The consequence
was that his property was destroyed by
large party of rebels. Mr.. Ward made an
appeal to the House in support of the bill.
Mr.. UPS0N wanted to know on what
principle of law the bill could be sustained.
Mr.. WARD-0h, it is on the great prin-
ciple that we sustain every man who sus-
tains the flag in that way.
Several members exclaimed, Good, you
are right
Mr.. DELAN0, Chairman of the Commit
tee, explained the question He said that
the rule with the Committee was 10 reject
all claims for damages the result of the
ravages of war. Ishmael Day was loser
to the amount of seven or eight thousand
dollars, but the Committee felt that it could
do nothing to compensate him for that loss.
Still the circumstances were so peculiar,
the act so noble, that the COMMITTEES agreed
to submit to the House the question of Civ
ing to the old man for the few remaining 2
years of his life, in the last of which he ex-
hibited this high degree of gallantry and
patriotism, small pension If s4O0 was
toe much, the House might reduce it.

The Presidents Serenade Speech.
Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Gazstte.I
The facts concerning the serenade to the
President which took place Wednesday
evening are little curious. 1t was to
afford him another chance to defend his
policy, now that the Civil Rights bill has
passed over his veto The Soldiers and
Sailors League had nothing whatever to
do with it. At their meeting on Monday
last, at which about 200 members were
present, a resolution was introduced pro-
viding for aserenade, and promptly tabled
without debate, only about dozen voting
for it. Notwithstanding this claim
agent and two other men arranged the
atfair-one of these passing with Mr..
johnson as President of the League, the
President addressed him as such. The
matter had been heralded here for two
days, and when the band started from the
appointed place for the White House, not
ten soldiers followed It. The march thros
the streets and the playing at the White
House attracted, perhaps, 500 people and
the subsequent speech of an hour, gather
ed possibly 1000. The orator WHO thank
ed the President on the part the soldiers
and sailors, forgot hisspeech, then tried to
speak extempore, and finally broke down
entirely. Fumbling in his pockets, he get
together the sheets upon which his re-
marks were written, and read them rapid
Iy occasionally stopping to arrange them
ard hunt up the connection He succeed
ed in making himself perfectly ridiculous.
All this time the President looked on
as if he felt himself upon nettles. The
crowd was orderly, except those present
70 do the applause. These were about one
hundred in number, and the slang phrases
with which they constantly responded 10
the President showed their character
Aside from this, there was no enthusiasm,
and the atmosphere of the crowd was
such as any speaker would consider chilli
ing. The speech of Mr.. johnson was
written beforehand, and occupied an hour
in its delivery. The passage which secured
tho loudest applause was 8 blunder on
the part of one of the regular applauaers-
The President had spoken at length in
regard to the veto power, and then, asking
for general attention, he raised his voice
and exclaimed "What is this yetof
What does it mean ?p and paused. Here
the bluuderer shouted Putting down
the nigger,'' at which there was perfect
roar Of laughter. A few things OF this
character excepted, the whole affair was
tame and spiritless.
Marshal Gcoding discharged his duty
of presenting the President on public oe-
casions by helping him TO climb over the
iron fence and get on the wall in front OF
the porch. Lew. Campbell, Of OHIO, stood
on one side of Mr.. Johnson and the
orator, whose name cannot be aseertalnedi
on the other side.

A Columbus dispatch to the Cincinnati
Ga-etts says that there are FIVE candidates
for appointment as Gas Commissioner
under the act recently adopted. They
are Prof Cassells, of Cleveland; T. G.
Wormeley, Of Columbus; ]. D. Camp
bell, Of Dayton; W. W. Bierce of Circle
vile; and, Major Coverdale, of Cincin-
matt, late of General Shermans staff.
Owing to an omission in the law to FIX the
compensation of the Commissioner, there
is to be no provision made for his pay
until the Legislature meets next winter
The bill, as originally drawn by the
author, provided for a salary of $4,000
but in the action of the committee which
reported it to the House, the salary clause
was dropped and was never restored.
