Tn. International Rss. Contest,

The selection of the Irish team who are to
compete with the Americans for the prize OF
victory has been at last completed, and we
can now form some definite notion of the ma
ture OF the struggle which will take place at
Dollymount. The men who are to act az tho
champions of Ireland are certainly danger
Gus opponents. Not one of them but has
already won honors in matches where they
were pitched against the best riaemen
Of Europe. Even such excellent shots az
the Rigbys and Mr.. Johnson are low
represent Ireland in the coming struggle.
Our rifemen will of necessity be compelled to
confne themselves to o team of six. They
will then find themselves opposed to six OF
the best rihemen Ireland possesses. Should
they come off victorious they will havo won
double glory, and should they fail it will
not be discreditable to either their skill or
nerve. We doubt if much stronger
team than the first six men ON
the Irish team could be found In
any country in the world. Only three
of the men who shot in the international
match at Creedmoor will be included. They
are Dr. Hamilton and Messrs. Wilson and
Miner. Mr.. Wilson seems to have improved
IN his shooting, for he stands well ahead of
all the Irish competitors, with a splendid
score, while Dr. Hamilton and Mr.. Miner
are low down on tho list, the latter gentleman
standing only fifth, the SIKH competitor
being only five points behind his score. The
total number of points made by the competi-
tors arc 4, 800 out Of possible 5,400, giving as
result something over m average of centres
during all the competitions. This shooting is
remarkably close, but not beyond the best
work of the men who have gone across thu
ocean to represent America. Notwithstand-
ing tao undoubted skill of the Irish marks
men the official return of the work they have
done shows that another American victory is
quite within the range of possibility, and this
time with all the advantages In favor of the
Irish champions

Joking over nm Epidemie.

Ii municipal administration was only an
endeavor to be funny we should be able to ex-
tact good deal of delicious humor out of
the resolutions of the Board OF Health and
the conferences Of the Mayor and his subordi-
mates. As it is we cannot overlook what Is
grotesque in the official conduct Of these gem
tlemen. When we see the Police Commits
sioners gravely entreating the Board of Health
for its sanction to the planting Of pest bed
in the heart Of the city and find the consent
gracously accorded We cannot shut our eyes
to the absurdity Of the action even If we per
ceive the full force Of its wickedness. We
cannot however, attempt to do anything like
justice 10 the humorous aspects Of such sin
gular misgovernment, The pen Of Rabelais
could alone deal with the subject in the words
which best describe it. But when the Board
of Health and the Police Commissioners and
the Sanitary Commission and the Mayor sud-
denly awake to the fact that to plant
disease Is to reap death and then resolve
that the danger is imminent and that it ought
to be averted this year or the next, leaving it
quite possible that an epidemic will sweep
over JHo LuttfOpolls DtIOfS Any tAlu5 - oven
attempted, we have an entirely different phase
of the humorous, In which the Objectionable
nouns OF the French ecclesiastio would en-
tirely fail OF their purpose. The keen satire
Of Theckeray or the volubie description Of
Dickens could, perhaps, deal with an emer-
gency whore calling things by their right
names would be utterly Ineffective. The cir
cumlocution Of our officials in the face OF i'm
pending disaster is an exhibition of such grim
and terrible humor that the goblin who stole
sexton must be the governing spirit in our
honorable boards. No influence less Satan
ically funny can inspire the Board Of Health.
for II gravely resolves that what everybody
knew all the winter, and the newspapers have
been saying daily for more than a month is
tact, which it regards as a revelation. This
revelation il the basis for fresh resolutions,
bat the Board does nothing except to vote,
and 80 the fun is kept up till the end. II is
time, no viewer, that these humorous resolves
and funny conferences were ended; for all tho
honorable boards, and especially the Board
OF Health, must know that If an epidemic
sweeps over the city az the result Of tho
Harlem flats nuisance the people will not
overlook OF forgive the practical joking Of the
officials

II lies between Prescott and '.Old Put" as
Washington Familiarity called him in his cor
respondence, although the fastidious editor Of
Weshington's wnhngs-the late Jared
Sparks substituted the formal General
Putnam in every place where the Father
Of ms Country fell below tho stiff dignity
which Mr. Sparks thought betting. Most of
Us prefer to see glimpses Of the human side
Of Washington's character. At any rate, cold
Put was one OF Washingtons pet favorites,
and ii il one Of the loyable traits Of SO stately
q man that he thoroughly appreciated the
strong qualities OF the brave, careless old
man who rode about in the heat Of the
Bunker Hull action with hanger belted
across bis brawny shoulders, over waistcoat

vigorous aud equally unmindful Of starched
dignity. There was such contrast in the
manners Of Washington and Putnam that il IL

Put was valued by lis commander. Blu.
AZ the date Of Bunker Hill Putnam had not
yet become known to Washington On that
occasion ne was the busiest man in the field,
and the country will equally honor him,
whether he was or was not the technical COM
Tuander on that memorable day.
We print an interesting communication
from Rev Increase \. Torbox, which sup
ports, with striking force Of argument, the
claims Of General Putnam TO be considered as
the commander at Bunker Hill. Certain ii ia

Prescott only colonel; certaio it i that during

annals Of our Revolution are read he Will be
regarded a. one Of the most interesting and

ELECTION FRAUDS IN ALABAMA. We print
this morning the first Of Mr. Nordhoh's
letters from Alabama. He gives o very
remarkable account Of systematic election
frauds in that State. II appears from sworn
testimony that in 1874 some republican lead
ers organized aud trained negro bands Of re-
peaters they held secret sham elections at
which black voters were taught how to vote
early and often; and while this was going
on United States troops we're used to intimi-
date democratic voters in the country dis
trcts by threats of arrest on blank warrants,
ana bacon given by Congress to help those
farmers who had suffered by on overflow Of
the Alabama River was used by republican
politicians as a means to gain votes for their
party and themselves. The details which
Mr. Nordhoff gives are grotesquely comic.
Among other things it seems that the negro
leaders have been shown guilty of political
intimidation

Now that we are about entering upon the
municipal canvass it is interesting to note the
influences which are gradually seeking to
control the nominations of the different par
ties The two classes that excite our attention
are the professional Lrishman and the profess
sional German. We have politicians who
make their nationality and their religion
principal claim TO political recognition. They
ara q peculiar class, and their intrigues may
be watched with interest and attention The
professional freshman views with alarm 'the
rapid growth Of the German element in this
country of ours" while the professional Ger
man apprehends with dismay ''the rapid
transit of the professional Irishman to polti-
eel power and position" to the exclusion of
the Great II it were permissible for the
dead to take an active interest in the affairs of
the living what alarm and dismay would we
find depicted on the faces of those who are
now sleeping on the banks Of the Shannon
and the Rhine From tho lands which have
given US Wellington and Moltke, Moore
and Schiller, Bale and Wagner, q
Boucicault and Wachtel. an Edmund
Burke and Carl Schurz, Germans and Irish
men are now marching shoulder to shoulder,
fighting as vaIiantly as the legions of Caesar
and Hannibal to uphold Tam'nany's doctrine
that the descendants of tho men who fought
under Washington are entitled to no rights
at least in the city OF New York-that the pro-
fessional Irishmen or professional Germans
are bound to respect
Historical critics will observe that this is
the first time that Irishmen and Germans
have acted in unison since William of Orange
and General Meinhart Schomberg scattered
the Irish battalions on the banks of the Boyne.
There is another thought, however, that
should not be overlooked. Irishmen and
Germans should remember that they have
registered an oath renouncing allegiance to
all foreign kings aud potentates They have
only to look at their naturalization papers to
find that they are American citizens in the
fullest sense of that word. We trust that no
question Of nationality or creed will DO
allowed TO enter our party politics that man
viii not be nominated because he is profess
sional Irishman or professional German, pro-
fessional Protestant or professional Catholic,
but only for integrity, fitness and capacity.

not the fort or province of Governments so
to interfere, and when they did they made
mistakes. At the same time that he said he
would not have any convention, he must
also say the French must take care of
themselves and not be robbed, or pushed,
or deluded by their manufacturers. 1t
was the fixed determination OF the French
Government to deal with the question,
but he must insist that the calculation
made by Pouyer.Q uertier was extremely
exaggerated. There were many industries
where the British had the advantage over
the French and other nations, as, for in
stance, the cotton trade Of Manchester.
There were many industries where the
British kept the first ground. The French
cotton s|pinners complained of the foreign
manufacturers of cotton goods, they COM
planned of the competition of England, and
they said, "We cannot resist it, we cannot
stand it." To those complaints his reply
would be, " It is your own fault /; cotton
is the same to buy in France as England,
and the machinery is the sam in both
countries. 1t was not the climate which
favoured that, English competition, be-
cause the climate Of Normandy and Rouen
was very much like the climate of Eng
land" and he would say to those COM
p~lainine Of British competition, "Take
care of yourselves, make every exertiOn
in your power to be equal with the British
manufactures ofManchester, Glasgow, &c.;
it is for want Of ability, want Of skill, or
want of science or attention, that you ore
inferior in your trade and you must, by
more ability and attention, secure
what YOU II quire." Perhaps it might be
said bv the British %reiner he had ability
and science in his Industry but perhaps
he had not the sam chemists. The French
rtfnerles IN Paris We're more wonderful
than the refneries in France generally ; and
nerbars the British reGner, instead Of
aupeaIing to tie Chancellor ofthe Exche-
ouer. the Government, and Lord Derby,
wo0Id do batter TO look at the manner IN
which the trade was conducted at Paris.
In Fmnce they had good chemists, employ
cd science. and they were wise enough to
keen The standard which they bad attained
viii regard to the refining Of sugar. Per
haps it would be better to pay a visit to
some of the French refineries. Enghshmen
had something to learn. England was
s~uperjor for cotton goods, for machln-
rry for smelling ore, and for other works.
France was superior in the refining OF sugar.
Perhaps the best use they One sugar re-
Gners( could make OF their time would be
to inquire into the subject Of French refine
ries themselves.
