INTERNATIONAL SHOOTING MATCH.
Testing OF The Different Rifles Submitted
Mt Crecdn RcsuLts.

Special Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN:
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, New YORK, Aug. H.-The
committee appointed by the National Rifle Asso-
citation to select the rife for the American team to
shoot the international military rifle match with
the British at Creedmoor in September next will
report that the Hepburn Remington and the Win
chester Hotchkiss military rifles, both recently
made for this purpose, and more particularly for
the long range stage of the match, and specially
adapted to shoot any number of shots without
having the barrels cleansed in the least
will either one be suited to carry the
Americans through this great contest to
the superiority of the English military long
range rifle over anything we had UP to this time
produced. representative of each OF the rifles
above mentioned was tested Saturday by the COM
mittee at Creedmoor, beginning at 200 yards, and
firing them from ten to fifteen shots at each dis
tance back to 200 yards, and the execution at
the extreme range, even after one hundred shots
had been fired from each piece without the
slightest cleaning of the barrels was simply as
tonishing. Bull eye after bulls eye was scored
with these rifles at 600 yards TO the great delight
of all who witnessed the practice, and the univer-
sal verdict was that the American team,
WITH THESE PIECES IN HAND,
need not fear that they will be handicapped by
the renowned British long range military "Martini-
Henry" OF course these rifles have specially pre-
pared ammunition for such work ms we gave them
patch, and the double lubricating discs that are
placed in the shell between the powder and the
bullet, all aiding the uncomfortable growing OF
the rifle barrels to produce the result attained
The rifles were in as good condition at the
close of the days work as after the second
or third shots, the lubricatlng discs entirely pre-
venting fouling and leading. There nre u number
Hepburn Remington finished and ready to 30
into the hands of the contestants for places on the
team in the competitive match for chat purpose
to be held at Creedmore during the week, while,
unfortunately for the manufacturers CT the other
arm, they have but one finished. AT the close of
the shooting this afternoon there was decided
tendency the part of aspirants forplaCes on the
team who had witnessed the shooting TO hasten TO
New York for the purpose Of visiting the Reming-
ton store, to which place a number of the Hep
burn Remington rifles had recently been sent from

PIsEY PoIST, MD, Aug. Al counted thirty
six little boys and girls, all neatly dressed
engaged in "ring around the rosy" and
other childish plays in the parlor OF the
hotel last night. 1t was a good night for In
side pleasures, for the wind howled, the rain came
down in torrents, the lightning flashed, thunder
roared, and the breaking waves dashed up against
the sandy beach with ominous howl. Shortly
aftcr o'clock the little ones were tucked away in
their beds and the children Of older growth, to-
gether with the married folks, INDUCED in dane
ing. There is hop given at the hotel every
night and the old place where the statesmen and
others of an ante bellum generation enjoyed
themselves so much with their children is az
thus far given Piney Point a wide berth, aud the

The dreary Loneliness of the place during the
winter time, when Perry Petit is usually the sole
survivor, is to be broken by the establishment of
an oyster shuckng building by the Atlantic
Oyster Company, of New York. A large frame
structure about five hundred yards from the
steamboat wharf is in course Of erection, which
will give employment to $50 men from the LIST of
September until the 1st of May yearly. The juicy

Six California Girls ON a Tramp.

The Redwood City (Col.) journal OF une ~ con-

"There passed through Redwood City on Mon
day of last week party of Oakland ladies on
tramp. They numbered six and were all robust,
good looking, full of life and energy, and bent on
n frolic. Dressed i'll uniform style of walking
habit slightly shorter than the prevailing fashion,
made of excellent and durable linen, plain but
pretty hats, easy shoes with high ankles for dust,
they we're the personihcation of comfort. Each
bore knapsack upon her back soldier style, aud
was armed with q revolver and large bowie. knife.

With no baggage or equipments except what each
carried on her person, this might lie called an
other charge of the Light Brigade. They LEFT
the bay on the ferry, rotted to Menlo Park as their
first feat. The next dny brought them to Sears

barn"
When the foregoing interesting item reached
North Carolina last week some enterprising quill
driver worked it over into this:

WORDS cannot express the horror with
which we view the alleged fact that the
Bourbons of Virginia are on the eve of
being intimidated by the Readjusters.
The Democratic press has assured us that
only the negroes and a few "no account"
whites are on the side of the Liberals,
How, then, can these knock down and
drag out, or even scare, the great masses of
the white people in the Bourbon party

mainder of the "respectability" enrolled
by the Bourbons under the separate

GRAFTON. w. VA, Aug. 1.-THE Democratic
Congressional convention for the second West Vir-

Keyser last Friday. Judge Hoge the present in

tention of defeating Judge Hoge at any cost The
Republicans are jubilant, and on the oath of the
month they will nominate at Fairmont, in Marion
County straightout Republican candidate, The
men most prominently mentioned in the crowd

tiou are Hon. John w. Mason, of Taylor County,

John Chinnman sometimes oyerreaches himsel

American hoodlums in ways that are dark. One
OF him lately advertised in Philadelphia that he
would "pay $40 for the arrest of any fellow that
throws dead cats or dogs into his laundry" Two
hoodlums discovered that the fine for thus throw
ing was only So and costs. Accordingly, one of
them perpetrated the assault and the other pro.
cured his arrest. John paid over the $40 10 the
latter and he paid his contederate's fine The

relations between the East and West: People
who have been paying taxes to I'll the general
co iler have come to the conclusion that they have
II eed Of some Of the money themselves, and they

Renly tO n Friend.

Our much esteemed friend of the North
State, all of whose kind expressions we
reciprocate, is mistaken in supposing that
we have not a tolerably correct knowl-
edge of the irritations to which large
portion of the Republicans of North
Carolina have been subjected'during the
past year and more. The editor of that
staunch old champion of Republican
principles ought to know that with what
power of persuasion we had we protested
at every step against anything that
seemed likely to divide or distract the
party. He cannot claim that on his side
all was meekness and charity, while on
the other was all the ill-feeling and
desire for disputation. The Republicans
of North Carolina have shared the gen.
eral factional disturbances which have
long prevailed in the party, and es-
pecially since 1880. These must not be
allowed to operate in favor of Bourbon
ism. Let us all submit for the time to
small discomforts, and even to what may
seem present injustice in small affairs,
if thereby we can forever destroy the an
cient enemy. The right to vote must
first be established before it can matter
much how we vote on other questions.
Let us first establish republi-
can form of government, and then
we can divide on questions within
the Republic. But in the name of all
that is patriotic let us not, in the face of
the common enemy of free institutions
waste our strength either in personal
contentious or on abstract questions,
however right we may be in the one case
or in the other. We think we know all
the grounds which some North Carolina
Republicans have for discomfort, but we
think they cannot upon reflection allow
those causes to subdue their active hos
tility to the Bourbon Democracy. AL of
the Republican party's eggs are in the
Liberal coalition basket. Handle it with
care.

Now THAT Judge Spaulding, good Re-
publican, has been nominated for Con-
gress in the Norfolk VA district by the
regular Republican committee which was
appointed by the regular Republican
Convention of 1850, which nominated
Mr.. Dezendorf for the seat in Congress
he now holds, it will be in order for the
latter to correct his mistake, and support
the regular nominee. No authorized
committee or convention of Republicans
has proposed Mr.. Dezendorf for Congress.
Every vote cast for him would be half a
vote for the Democratic Bourbon nominee.
He cannot expect to find five hundred
voters who will perform such an act OF
folly as to throw away their votes on
him. By all the usages Of the party Judge
Spaulding is entitled to every Republican
vote. lie will be elected by an over
whelming majority. Perhaps it is better
that Mr.. Dezendorf remain in the field.
He only divides the enemy, and besides
we ought TO know just how many Re
publican Bourbons there are in the dis
trict. We estimate them at five hundred,
although we do not know that there are
any outside of those who have lost places
at the nayy-yard.

THE Lynchburg (Va) correspondent of
the Boston Post takes it very much to
heart that when our old friend Dezen-
-dorf, who imagines himself candidate
for Congress in the Norfolk (Va,) district,
spoke at York recently military COM
pany interrupted him. AS the Post is
collecting that sort of literature, we de-
sire to contribute mention of the fact
that John Callahan, the present chair
man of Mr.. Dezendorfs committee, was
fined by magistrate last summer for
violent and disorderly conduct in dis
turbing a Readjuster meeting at Ports
mouth, Va. We hope our friends in Vir-
ginia will not follow the example of their
opponents in these things.
