THE VICTORY At DOLLYMOUNE

1t is with satisfaction that We spread
before our readers to-day a complete and
detailed account of the International Rife
Match and the victory of the American Team
at D0lymOunt. Target practice with rifles in
this country is little more than two years old.
In Great Britain it dates from the period of a
general alarm respecting the invasion OF En-
gland after the victories of France over Aus
tria the annual rifle match being organized at
Wimbledon in $50, under pressure of a national
enthusiasm which developed clubs of marks
men and melted practice in their art, all over
the kingdom. The Irish Team which won the
Elcho shield at Wimbledon and were styled
the champions of Great Britain, may be re-
garded as the perfect flower of many years
growth in skill and when in 1873 they sent
challenge to American rflemen, they were
in search of new worlds to conquer. Their
march of victory was checked at Creed
moor, last September. But SO close
was that contest, and so narrowly won
by their opponents, only the last shot
giving victory to the Americans, that yester-
days return match at DOllymOunt was regarded
on this side OF the Atlantic with some appre-
hension. This feeling was evident in sporting
circles on Monday, when the majority of bets
were made at five to four against the AmeIi-
can Team. So great victory as 967 to 929
was by nobody anticipated for our cOuntrymen.
Our report of the international Rifle Match
is illustrated this morning by diagrams of all
the targets, showing at glance the skill of
each of the twelve marksmen in each Of his
forty five shots. The device by which these
figures are tslegraphed from Dublin is an in
genious arrangement of q cipher code. now
first applied upon large scale, and invented
and prepared some time In advance by our
special correspondent who accompanies the
American Team ON their memorable tour.

A HINT FOR THE FOURTH.

Some artists and other good citizens have
proposed plan for the celebration OF the
Fourth of July which promises to Danish by
quick degrees the fire-cracker and the c0nfla-
grafton. 1t is the usual form OF public demon
stratiOn in Southern Europe, where on festlvai
days gay draperies are hung from the will
dows, and at night almost every house is IL
Illuminated The appearance of the house

lambrequins floating from the window-silis' Is
thus described in circular letter which we
have just received:

The scheme is entirely feasible, and although
there is not time to make ready general
decoration for this year, a large number OF
householders have the material at hand, and
we learn, that in several of the uptown streets
extensive preparations have already been
made. Let some Of our principal citizens set
tho example next Monday, and in 1876
the whole city may burst into bloom.
About the illumination of course there is no
difficulty. Paper lanterns are cheap and abund-
ant and they can be so arranged as to pro-
duce very pleasing effect. One or two candles,
besides, in each window-pane, will work won

THE LO1UER CASE.

The story which Loader and Price spread
before the world two weeks ago was SD grossly
improbable on its face and so suspicious in its
surrounding circumstances that nobody can
have been surprised at the denOuemcnt. The
tale never deserved moments serious con-
sideration. But there are some points in con-
necton with it which will require investiga-
ton, and that without any unnecessary delay.
1t appears that Loader told his story to Mr.
Tilton's counsel, by whom, as he stated, it was
reduced to writing and it is also asserted, on the
authority of Price, that the counsel aided the
atlantis by producing a diagram OF the TiltOn
dwelling. All this took place before the evil
dence in the case was closed, and if there was
any belief on the part of the lawyers for the
plaintiff in the truth of Leaders, mOnstrOus
tale, or any intention at any time of putting
him on the stand, the proper moment to in
trOduce the testimony was then, and the
proper way to introduce it was of course un-
derstoOd by the able gentlemen who seem TO
have consulted over its preparation. Loader
not being called, the natural inference is that
Mr.. Morris knew he was lying. Some days
later, however, while the closing argument of
Mr.. Beach was in progress, this withheld testi
Jury in the columns of The Herald. Then
the counsel for the plaintiff asked to have the
case reopened in order that Loader and Price
might be called. The request of course was
refused. But the attention of the jury had
been directed to the narrative, the afdayits
which are now shown to have been gross mer
cenary perjures were incorporated in the case
and made a part of the record, and the de-
Tense had no opportunity to make even a re-
mark upon them.
We have TO intention of imputihg unprO-
fcssional conduct to Mr.. Beach or MIR. Morris !;
We certainly should not wish to susp, /
either of them of manufacturing evidence and
suborning perjury. But we tell them plainly
that crcduty or too much zeal has betrayed
them into false position, from which they
must lose no time in extricating themselves
by thorough inquiry into this affair, and a
very frank public explanation of their own con-
ncction with it. Such startling irregularities
as they seem to have implicated themselves in
cannot 20 unchallenged.
Meantime the public will not fail to note the
malignant and desperate nature of the warfare
waged against Mr.. Beecher. Here is an old
man, q clergyman, struggling through an un-
precedented six months contest for what
should be dearcr to him and his friends
than his life At the very crisis of
the struggle these mOnstious perjuries are
paraded against him in time to affect the
minds of the jurymen and to in6ame the pub
lie. 1t is crime to which it would be almost
impossible to ailix too severe a penalty. The
perurers should break stone for the rest OF
their lives. II men of more consequence
suborned the perjury, like punishment would
he altogether too light for them.

world, when such deadly fumes arose that
all the inmates of the house fci!
prostrated az by the Inhalation OF
carbonic acid gas. Indeed, We are solemnly
assured that the only safe method of dealing
with them lies in the possession OF two little
negro boys, one to pick each individual bug or
the vine, and the other to pound him up in
mortar and pestle.
Hand picking really appears to be the only
efRectual cure for these invaders, although their
numbers and malignant vitality are no doubt
exaggerated; but hand-pickiug is too slow and
laborious process for the majority of vcge-
table growers, and they are therefore expert
menting in any and every poison which Is
recommended to them. There is no scien-
tifc certainty as yet whether Paris green,
the most popular remedy, does or does
not affect the vegetable injuriously when used
in such quantities about the roots. But there
can be no doubt that as long as the farmers
throw it about recklessly over their potato,
melon, tomato, and eggplant patches, great
caution should DO exercised in the preparation
and use of these vegetables for the table.
The bugs, boiled or unbOiled, are messengers
of Satan, no doubt, as far as the farmers
are concerned, and VIC shall pay our part OF
the penalty in tho price of potatoes per bushel

should be subjected to the chance OF taking

from all sides over the ravages of the Colorado
beetle; every Jersey farmer sits in his potato
patch as did Jeremiah in the vineyard, and
weeps as loudly over the desOlatiOn about him.
The ancient griffin had not as many diabolical
qualities as this potato bug; every mother
among them, the farmers declare, brings forth
four or five thousand offspring in season.
They utterly refuse to be made way with by any

The above table shows that the gold value
of the merchandise imports of the United States
decreased in the two years $117,32l, 800, or
more than seventeen per cent, while the gold
value of the exports Of British produce and
manufactures fell off $152, 100000, or moro
than elerea and one-half per cent. This is the
severest reverse which has fallen on the British
export trade for twenty five years. Leaving out
the first two years of the war, the same comment
may be made on the falling off in the United
States imports. In the fiscal year following
1857 our imports fell off nearly twenty-five
per cent, but in 1859 there was nearly COM
plete recovery of the lost ground. In 1866
our imports reached an enormous value for
that period, and receded in 1868 in nearly the
same proportion that they have now fallen,
but in 1869 the increase was marked, and it
continued without interruption for five years
until 1873.
The imports of the United States may be
classed under tho threc divisions Of manufac
lures. articles of icod and drink, and raw ma
terials. OF these three classes manufactures
until recently have been by far the most inn
pOrtant, but at present we think the value of
our imports of tea, coffee, sugar, mOlasses, to-
baccO, wines, &C., is approaching a par with
that of the imported manufactures. These are
called hard times, and the aggregate value of
all our imports, as we have seen, is seven
teen per cent less than it was two years ago,
yet the following table will show that the
value OF our imports of food, drink, and arti-
cles of that kind has not been greatly dimin
ished. The periods covered are the ten months
ended ncspectively April 30, 1878, 1874, and
1875:
