Battle of the Rides.


sIR--ln your excellent notice OF the great rife
match published to-day you justly term 1t "battle
Oi the rides" Such to great extent it was, and
the decision OF the question, Are our target rifles
TO be breech or muzze loading is involved In the
result. This question would be more easily an
swered H. as you observe, one OF the American
team had not loaded his breech-lOader from the
muzzle and by his superior shooting secured the
victory for his team. This, sir, reopens the whole
matter and gives an argument to the supporters OF
muZzle-loaders. Another consideration suggests
itseif-respecting cleaning rifles between success
slve shots. This system has been held IN England
to be so impractical that all improvements made
IN target rides OF late years, whether muzZle or
breech-ioading, have been directed TO render 1t
unnecessary.
/ am much mistaken If the spirited manufac-
turers OF the rifles used by the American team Will
permit the imputation to rest on their arms,
that they are useless unless so manipulated. To
set this matter at rest and to give rinemen both
here and at home a means of coming TO correct
Judgment ON this important issue, oeg TO con-

TREMBLING IN TIE BALANCE.

Who VIII BE the Police Justices After
To-day 3-TLe DccshxUn OF The Court Of
Appeals to Settle all Doubts mt Last.
The old and the new Police Justices and local
politicians all the city were not little excited
yesterday over the report that Mr.. Richard O'Gor-
man had sent despatch IRON Albany announcing
the decision Of the Court of Appeals relnstating
the old Justices. Judge Fiammer was confident
he and his colleagues would retain the snug little
official salaries OF $4,000 year which they enjoy at
present. He said that there was evidently o dis
position to decide the case at the street corners
and barrooms where politicians congregated. AS
Tor him and his colleagues on the Board they were
perfectly willing to indulge IN no speculatlOnS
whatever, and to leave the case to the Court OF
Appeals who, knew best how to dispose OF 1t in
accordance with law and justice. These rumors
started by the friends OF the former Justices
and were intended to terrify the present incum-
bents OF the Offce but he had learned to dis
believe all statements attempting to iorestaH
the OtlClal decision OF the Court, which would, IN
his opinion certainly remain secret until today
Ex.Judge Ledwlth was inclined to be rather non
committal on the subject He did not seem to be
buoyant In his anticipatiOns OF success, and
deprecated any discussion OF the result until 1t
was officially known. He was asked whether in
his opinion, the reinstatlng OF the former Justices
would nully all the convictions had before the
present Police Magistrates, and replied that this
minds OF the shrewdest lawyers OF the city, lie
had cOnversed with hts former colleagues on the
Police Bench and found that they were expecting
to resume their old duties.
The other Justices and cx-Justices told sub
stantally the story as detailed above. The one
side was confident of success and was the
other. The pupllc at large took comparatively t-
tie interest IN the question, deeming 1t certain that
the present Justices would remain in their places.
However, the ms and outs will probably both
know their fate definitely before the day Is over.

THR SToRN-The storm of wind and rain
which prevailed almost uninterrnptsdly for the
past TIVE days, was as severe in its character ss
any we have experienced for some time. 2he
rain fell in steady showers, and in great volume,
flooding the country over which it extended.
The streams adjacent 10 this city were greatly
swollen, though we have heard Of no bridges
being carried away, or other damage sustained.
The Brandy wine was exceedingly high and tur-
buIent but as there was no floating ice TO give ad
ditiopaI force to the current II dashed harmessly
on 10 the river. In this city the effects Of the
storm were felt in the most unpleasant manner.
The streets and pavements were overfowed,
rendering pedestrianism very disagreeable, while
leaky roofs and flooded cellars added to the gcner
al discomfort. Last night, another hard shower
fell, and this morning, the skies looked dun ant
threatening. The. weather stin continues nm
usually warm.

In Bankruptcy of John w. Crisfeld. OF Prln-
cess Anne, Md. VS.. Joseph Bringhurst,of this
city, was continued. The afternoon session

tiff's counsel. The case, in detail, is as fol-
lows
In 1869, the defendant loaned Mr.. Cris6eld
1000. for six months, taking anote for ",
iSo. and as collateral &1e, ,00O Of FIRST mort
gage bonds of the Eastern Shore Railroad Co.,

view. which resulted. Ia Brin9hurst's giving
Crisfield $500 more in cash, and surrenderlng
the note. Crisfeld giving bill of sale for the
bonds, and a receipt for the note and money,
and Bringhurst giving him memorandum N
which he agreed to resell the bonds 10 Crlshelo

of 5000, and also surrendering his power o'
Attorney over the bonds.
The allotted time having expired, and MT
Crisfield not having rebought the bonds, Mr
Brinehurst sold them for 50 $50, Regarding
them as his property, obtained by perfectly
legitimate business transaction, and not helo
as collateral security for the loan.
Meanwhile Mr. Crisfeid went into bank

amounts received by MIR. Crisfeld-S2,0oO am
