THE TARGETS BY TELEGRAPH

The Dublin newspapcrs with the detailed
rcports of the international Rifle match, enable
us to verify the accuracy of the first successful
experiment ever made at telcgraphing pic
torial representation of the exact position on
the target of each shot fred In all there were
$40 shots. OF these 52S prove to have been
fixed with absolute accuracy in TIE lRIBUNEs
reproduction of the targets. In the case
of the twelve remaining shots. the errors
of location are nearly all trivial, and III AL
but two cases they were due to mistakes OF
the cable-a proportion of laundering not very
remarkable considering the length ana pecu-
larity of the cipher message AMI the haste
with which it was transmitted, but still pro-
portion which wcll-rcglllated service ought
to be able very greatly to reduce on another
trial The most serious errors were III the target
made by John McKenna of the Irish Team at
500 wards. One of his buls-cye shots
was placed little distance outside the bulls
eve, and one of the shots which just missed
the bulrs-cyc was placed on the left instead
of the right side of it, while third was placed
near the upper cft-hand corner, when it
should have been near the upper right hand
corner. In the 1.O00-yards target of James
Wilson, another of the Irish Team, there were
two slight misplacements of shots i'll the bulls
eve, and one shot out of the buGs-cye and
directly above it was placed little further
from the line than it should have been. There
were only four mistakes i'll locating the 27o
shots fired by the American Team, and all
were utterly trivial, the most scrious one being
in the target of X. G. Coleman at 800 yards,
where the shot represented as beyond the
lower right hand corner of the bull s-eye should
have been shown in the same vertical line,
but a little nearer the bottom of the target.
1t affords curious contrast to compare
these diagrams, transmitted by telegraph from
Dublin to the cable, thence 5000 miles under
the Atlantic Ocean, and thence through Nova
Scotia to New York, with the diagrams care
fully made upon the spot for the leading Dub
lin newspaper, The Irish Times, and printed
simultaneously with our own. Comparing
each with the final score THE TRIBUNE's tar
gets are proved to be more nearly correct than
those engraved on the spot.
The process by which these diagrams were
telegraphcd is one invented by The TRIBUNE
correspondent, and has never before been APP
piled. One or two of our cOtempOraries under
took the same task but we do not know in
what respects their method differs from or
agrees with ours.

for not preventing what they could not FORE
see, further than that they are hardly ex-
crsable for permitting the existence OF the
organized gang to which these ruffians evl-
demtly belong. There are probably dozen
possibly score-of such criminal organlza-
tons in New-York City, of which the police
generally, and the detectives especially, are
believed to have complete knowledge, and
which they could break up if they would. inc
responsibility of the police lies just here. They
cannot possibly know in advance OF all
schemes of plundcr and thus prevent the COM

prevent the commission of many crimes SIM

In his speech at Mr. Beechcr's house at Peekskill
on Monday night the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew was
mpcled by an ailusOn to the great amount OF tcs-
timony and the little evidence taken i'll the six
months trial of the Tton suit, to tell an anecdote
of the late President Lincoln, which We do not re-
member to have seen printed. Mr.. Depcw prefaced
il by saving that when as Secretary of state of New
York he visited Washington in 1864 to look after
the army VOTE he had occasion frequently to refer
matters directly to Mr.. Lincoln who one day was re-
minded of a story which he declared was one of The
only two anecdotes original with him, n0twithstand
ing his reputation for storytelling. II only apply
the good stories Others tell me" the President said
The story which he therenpon proceeded to tell
Mr. Dcpew was to the effect that many years before
when practicing in Illinois, he had appeared for the
defendant in "a case of assault and battery, III which
the complainant did not seem to be very much
injured. although he had been through long series
Of brawls In the course of the plaintiff examna-
tion Mr. Lincoln asked, How much ground did YOU
fight over ~ "About six acres" was the reply.
"Dont you think asked Mr. Lincoln, that that
was an almighty small crop of fight for so much
ground Amid the roars of laughter which followed,
and in which the voice of Mr.. Boecher was heard
above all the others, Mr.. Dcpew suggested that it
was needless to make the application to such
quickly apneciatiye audience.

Mr. +. 4. Freeman, in of his recent lectures at

before a magistrate, charged withcreating disturb
ance He pleaded that he only helping to receive
the claimant" "swith the customary "Ovation'
When asked to explain what that was, he defined it
as "hootng and yelling Considering what "ova-
tons" usually are there more truth than poetry
in the mans definition There was another Latin
word from which ovation" might also be- derived;
bat the word said Mr.. Freeman, meant an egg, and
that sort Of ovation was usually kept for candidates
at contested elections.'

Journalism in the West is usually vigorous, if not
ALWAYS polite. A Wisconsin editor recently had the
reckless candor to lecture before an editorial con-
vention on "Thc Vices of the Press" and a Mil
waukee brother gives him this friendly notice:
"Hc il the most of a blackguarl and the most of
liar of any man connected with a Wisconsin news
paper and that is saying great deal for one OF his
very limited abilities" But down South they don't
stop at words. There they have court of last re-
sort for editors who not content to quarrel only
on paper. One Vicksburg paper has just been tell
ing of its two dues while its local coempOrary had
five editors shot over it, and then died to keep them
company. And now we hear of successful journal
istic duest, evidently from the tropics, who re-
turned from one of these encounters i'll such be-
attic mood that nothing less than this would
relieve his mind 1t is something, after all,
to be an editor The profession. being not alto

NJ. Rouher has given another evidence of his
title to be called headstrong politician.
When he denied the existence of the Bona
partist Committee of Appeal some time ago
there were many who refused to believe his
assertion. His present avowal that he himself
directed that Committee is likely to deprive
him of much of the respect with which he has
hitherto been held by some persons. However,
the part which he has taken may lead 10
another celebrated trial, and we may hereafter
hear much about The ROuhcr Case.

The Ring suits come to the front again.
Before Judge Barrett yesterday argument was
begun on the application for the reduction Of
the bail of William VI. Tweed. The defense
seem to have laid great stress upon the position
that q person once arrested i'll civil action
cannot be again arrested for the same cause
of action except under circumstances which do
not exist in this case and it was warmly urged
in the same behalf that the present suit is
vcxatious and its prosecution malicious. Mr..
Peckham, for the People, replied effectively,
and the argument was adjourned until to-day
The negotiations for the reduction of the bail
on the criminal indictments against Peter Il.
Sweeny have been 80 far successful that there
seems to be a strong probability that he will
return to New-YOrk and stand his trial !;
while minor members of the Ring, pushed to
the wall, are preparing to disgorge their ill
gotten gains.

Few extenuating circumstances, either for the
railroad company or its officials, have yet been
developed in the Coroner's investigation OF the
Rockaway railway disaster. 1t appears that
Conductor IIibbard was heard to remark that
he had only one minute and half in which
to get from Woodsburg to Rockaway whereas
the time allowed by the present schedule
is four minutes and was formerly six minutes.
Conductors" says the trainmaster, "oftcn
take risks in that way" We find also
that there has been no telegraph office at
Woodsburg for two years; the railroad agent
was an operator, but had 10 instrument.
There are various other indications of crlmi-
naly loose management, which make dis
aster like that of the 9th of July rather a
matter of course on such road.
