y LARGE SHOOTING MATCH.
Good Birds but Poor Shooting.

Yesterday afternoon 4 shooting match
took place at Neffsvlle. The attendance
was very large, especially by gentlemen
from this city, Columbia, Marietta and
other places. The shooting took place in
large grass field q short distance from
KepEerllng's hotel, and no better place
could have been selected. Tho prizes were
$40 in money divided rs follows $25 to
first, $50 to second, SIS TO third, and $40
to fourth. The birds were very fine and
tho shooting rather poor as will be seen by
the score. The number of outside gun
ners, who got chances at the birds, which
got out of bounds unlarmed, was very
large AMI as many birds were missed they
secured quite n number. The score is as
follows, gunncrs names appearing in the
same order as tLev shot

BEN BUTLER has notions of his own
about female suffrage. He compromises
his galIantry and his politics with tho sug-
gestion that law be passed allowing
women to vote under the same regulations
as men in municipal elections, which Law
shall take effect when it shall be accepted
by majority of tho women voting 1T
some general election. To obyiate the
necessity of their meeting with unpleasant
Incidents at the elections he would let
them vote through the mail or by deposit
of their ballot in some proper box provided
for that purpose, addressed to the proper
officers of the election in the cities and
towns where they reside, within ten days
before such general election, at which time
the officer of election may open, examine
and compare the ballots with the registry
lists and assert, count, and declare the
votes as IN other cases." He's a funny
old Ben, with a weather eve open for the
women of state in which they are largely
in the majority.

Since Quay has relinQuished the sec
retaryship of state, and as its party is
going out of executive control, tie Er
dmtncr informs its readers that the
cmolumentS of the office which Mr..
Quay has quit ard which Mr.. Stenger
is about to enter are much larger than
is popularly supposed or, probably, than
is contemplated 10y the law. AS the

We agree with our esteemed and sud
denly virtuous contemporary that ''here
is chance for reform" 1t is certainly
not within the contemplation OF the law
that such profits should attach to this
Office. If they are legal they cannot be
decreased Or increased during Mr..
S.enger's term SD as to apply to him
but we doubt very much if they can be
justified by any proper construction OF
| the law. In that event, of course, not
| only will Mr.. Pattison and Mr.. Stengei
| see that the fees are covered into the
state treasury, but if, as the E.ru!itinCI
intim&tes, Quay has been pocketing thes.

levee being Of sufficient hight to
stand at least three feet rise. With
the present stage Of the water it is
Impossible TO get material to build the
levee, and to continue the work under
