The teams now in that city are the English, Scotch, Irish, Australian, Ca- nadian and American, embracing the crack marksmen of the world. The plan pro; was to get up three prizes, of £1,000 in gold, for three days’ shooting, each one to be di- vided as follows: One prize of $500, one of $300, and one of $202. As ‘all of these teams are under heavy expenses, this would be an inducement for a contest. A reasonable entrance fee frem spectators would pay all expenses except for the prizes, which could easily be obtained by subscrip- tion. The object was not pecuniary gain, but simply to awaken interest in this kind ofsport. He bad no doubt but that Colonel Fulion could be prevailed upon to supervise this enterprise and that it would be a grand success. Colonel Fulton in the agent for the Remington guns and several other eporores, arms, and would no doubt be giad of this opportunity to display their respective Merits, The formation of a team in this ca is also very desirable.

A meeting of the Hayes and Wheeler Club of this District was held last evening at Parker's hall; Mr. W. A. Cook presiding and Geo. W. Stewart acting as secretary. Mr. Marshall, from the special committee appointed to select another place of meeting. made @ ‘t_ recommending the renting of Saks’ hall, on Pennsylvania avenue, between recommendation 4 and 6th streets; which ted. creased to nine members, and Messrs. Mer- shall, Chase, Beron and Garner were aided. ALL ABOUT THE POLE. ‘Wm. Schooler hoped that the decoration committee would put up the flag as soon as possible, and said it was @ di: p that the colors bad not been displayed ail this time. There was a time when the republicans would have put up & pole from which to dis- piey Ube names of the candidates, and he had ped that the committee would have pat up & pole when the proprietor of the Metro- Po itan Hotel objected to hanging the flag ‘rom that building. Mr. J. F. Hodgson replied that the com. mittee had done all in their power to get the flag out. After they had procured a@ pole they failed to secure a proper permit, and cilizens on the square between 6th and 7th streets threatened to apply for an injunction. THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS DISCUSSED. Mr. Tompkins said the Commissioners of the District refused to grant a permit because they were doubtful as to their power in the premines. Mr. Marsball called on the president for his report on ee j Lo Cook — my ee best judgment, ‘aged to go before the Com- missiovers. They (the Commissioners) con. i ) = sented that a pole might be erected if all ouber had the same right; and, fur- property-holders, male or too much respect to the impelf to call on the Commission- ers. It was usual to erect poles, provided they did not interfere with tne public. Had Ey. erected their pole they would have hadto take it down The req sbould been granted. le = ve all —- parties the privilege Mr. ‘Schooler ‘asked Colonel Cook if he gid pot thing the Commissioners were on the fence? ‘Mr. Cook replied that he wouldn’t say that explicitly, but they leaned @ little to- wards the democratic side. INFLUENCING APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Jerome A. Ji urged that there should be more activity on the part of the club, and he that should make their influence felt as toa) intments in the District, and control them wherever they can. Mr. Tompkins said that the property ers bad no rights as to the erection of a pole in the bighways—the Commissioners gad control of the streets and avenues. Mr. Hodgson said that under the act of 1832 four feet were taken off of each side of tne carriageway of the avenue, and was now in- side the curb, but that space did not belong to the y holders, and the Commis- control of this and the right to grant the use of it. He believed their atten- Uon bad not been called to the fact. It was suggested, as they had determined to move and the consent of the proper parties baving been obtained to enable them to dis- play the flag, that further action on the erec- ton of the pole was unnecessary.

Is CHARLEY ROSS ALIVE?—A foe ton dent of the Boston Globe, writing from Hampton Beach, July 24, after reciting sev- eral ine flectual attempts, in which he pro- fesses to have been an active participant, to find little Charley Ross, concludes his letter as follows: “As many Boston friends have been anxious to know the result of the in- Lng, cog made by @ Hoston man, I would say that unless Charley Ross was drugged by two women between the death and burial of Mosher and Douglass, in all human prob- ability he was concealed in Bo3ton several months. The child was brought here by a sailing vessel by a partner of Mosher and Douglass. A picture of Charley Ross has been identified by several who knew the child referred to, as being a correct likeness, and as the writer feels confident the womau and child have never left the state, but are concealed within —_ miles of Boston, he proposes in his next letter to give a fall and minute description of all the parties, in hopes that other papers will, in the interests of humanity, copy the description, and thereby cause the arrest of the criminals. The reasons for thinking the right trail has been struck at last will be given also, and the public can then judge of the facts for themselves.

Your office should ireat all such correspondence as if of domes- tic origin, which course of treatment is fully authorized, so far as relates to the clags of correspondence in question originatii in the Postal Union, by 6 of article 4 of the Treaty of Berne.” Postmaster James says these instructions will _—. simplify his duties in dealing with the foreign lottery circulars im the future and may resuit in Stoppipg their transmission through the mails altogether._(N.

THE West Point SHOOTING—The Civil and Miliary Authorities at Logyerheads.—In the case of Washington Putnam, a resident of Highland Falls, who was shot on the night of July 8th by John L. Rothelin, a sen- tinel stationed at the south gate of West Point, while Putnam was attempting to drive @ carriage through the gate, and who died Monday, the coroner’s jury on Tuesday cistern ‘nto it, found that the cause of his death was lock- jaw, produced by @ gun shot wound, the ge being in the bands of and discharged by Pri- vate John L. Rothelin, of the engineers. Rothelin, in his statement before the coro- ner's jury, claimed that the shooting was accidental. The military authorities have hitherto refused to deliver the prisoner to the civil authorities, and the officer of the day, in producing the prisoner at the inquest said: ‘I am direct by the commanding officer to present this prisoner to you for ex- amination, but to state that he is my over and under charge of the guard.” The prisoner, after making bis statement, was marched back tothe guardhouse. To-mor- row the coroner will issue @ warrant for the arrest of the prisoner, and the sheriff of Orange county will demand his custody, but Rothelin will probably not be surrendered at least until orders can be recetved from Wash- ington, inasmuch as he has been tried by court martial for the shooting, and the find- ings bave not yet been passedon at army headquarters.
