Proposed sTateh at dublin Mex, year

Proposed Match at Dublin Next Year.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-MajOr Leech,
Captain Of the Irish Team, publishes
letter this morning returning his thanks
and those Of his companions and ladies
and the gentlemen who accompany them,
for the hospitality they have received from
the American press and public. The Ma
jOr has also issued a challenge on behalf Of
the Irish Team to the American Rifiemen.
He proposes that a second match shall take
place at Dublin in June, 1875, on the same
terms as that at CreedmoOre, each team
not to consist of more than eight or less
than six men, at the option of the Ameri-
cans.
Breeeh Versus Muzzle.
Mr.. John Rigby, regarding the late match
as battle of the rifles as well as a rivalry
of marksmen, issues a challenge for
match, to be shot at CreedmOre Saturday,
Oct. 8, on the following conditions: Four
or five men shall shoot on each side. Each
side to fire one hundred shots at one hun
dred yards. The Irish team to use muzzle-
leaders, and the American team 70 use
breech-loaders-nO cleaning of weapons to
be permitted to any Of the riflemen during
the contest. In making this proposition,
Rigby states that he and others of the Irish
team are not seeking to detract from we'll
earned laurels of the Americans, but to de-
eide a scientific question Of importance.
The Irish party were entertained at a
banquet last evening by the citizens Of
Brooklyn. Mayor Hunter presided. This
morning the Lord Mayor of Dublin and his
companions started on 4 trip to Niagara
over the Erie Railway.
Resting on Their Laure.s.
In answer to an inquiry from ]. F. Ma
son, of Canada, as to whether the Ameri-
can team would shoot against the Ontario
this week, Col. Gilderslieve has replied
thai the team will not engage in another
contest this year.

ell.
Some twenty-five or thirty gentlemen
from different Southern States were in Sc
cret contlave to-day, at the Ebbett House,
discussing the third-term business. There
were present j. Hale Sypher, of Louisiana,
Messrs. Cobb, Wallace and Blyth, of South
Carolina, Henderson, Lee and Badger,
United States District Attorney, son Of ex-
Senator Badger, Of North Carolina, Wells,
of Alabama, Senator Patterson, of South
Carolina, Judge Settle, of North Carolina,
and Others.
This session was prolonged one, and
although the discussion was lively and
spirited, it appears TO have been pretty
much all on one side-that is, in favor of
the third term. The main argument was
that Grant is the only hope of the Southern
Republicans, carpet-bagges, etc. There
was only one member of the conference
who opposed the proposition, but he was
summarily squelehed.
The meeting is thought to be one of a
number that are being held preliminary to
the Chattanooga Convention, with view
of securing that harmony of action on that
occasion as will give the proposed indorse-
ment of Grant for four years more the
greatest pOssibldweight. This meagre out
line is all that can be obtained tonight of
the proceedings, as the greatest caution and
secrecy was observed by the patriots partic-
mating,

burning Of the Cospatrck:
The fire broke out at midnight, Nov. 18th,
and within half an hour developed the vessel
nearly the entire length. There was sceue of
the widest confusion, but two boats succeeded
in getting away, eachof which contained thirty
persons These remained alongside the ship
until the 10th, when the hull was completely
burned out and she sunk. The two boats then
started for land. They kept together for two
days, when a gale arose and they became sep
