Bailey and F. M. Lillebridge, of this District. There were between eighty and ninety examined. The appointees are required to joln the naval academy immediately. SECRETARY CHANDLER denies with char- acteristic emphasis the story afloat that he bas either solicited that Secretary Bristow be taken off the stump or has any one for him. He ts also equally forcible in denounc- ing a8 a “roor-back” the already explodel story that the political engagements of Mr. Schurz bave been cancelled. A TIMELY GEM.— We are indebted to Mrs. Greatorex, the artist, for a copy of her at. tractive portfolio entitied a ‘Souvenir of 176.” It consists of @ series of etchings beautifully illustrating some of the histori. eal structures of the country, includieg Mt. Vernon, Christ Chureh, Alexandria; Arling- ton Hetghts and the house of Da: Baras, in this city. The work may be inspected at Solomons & Chapman’s and at Barlow’s, where subscriptions are also received. Hon. B. F. PErxorro, late Consul at Roumania, has written to 8. Wolf, esq., of this city, from New York: “I leave for Ohio Sunday to enter with all the enthusiasm of fingeney like the present every yolee ‘and be exerted in Dettait of the influence should party which rescued the the jaws of dissolution, preserved the union of our fathers, and which alone can maintain the true principles of republican liberty.” Mr. Peixotto ts an old democrat, has never voted @ republican ticket, is @ personal friend of Hon. H. B. Payne, of Clevelana, aod other leading democrats of Ohio, and is greatly esteemed and respected, without re- gard to party views. Republicans deem this @ “straw” of some significance. THe MIKADO’s RicGaT BowER—The Navy department has received advices from Rear Admiral Reynolds dated Yoka- homa, August 22d, on board the Tennessee, in which he notes the arrival of Prime Min- ister Sanjo Saneyaski and suite at Hako- date in a Japanese steamer, under &@ salute. He paid bis respect to this personage at the house of the governor, and was Legged received.

He was in- vited to visit the Tennessee, but his time would not permit it. Way Is THIs Tuus?—The New York Sun, Baltimore Gazette and other democratic papers have the following special to-day : “ Washington, Bept. 14—The National Repub- ican to-morrow will print the following paragraph in answer to the denial of Mr. urZ: “ It is strange, indeed, that so many disin- terested parties and newspapers are rushing to the defense of Carl Schurz jast now, when be is accused of Ca erg, on his political course. The truth is that letters written by Mr. Schurz and received in Washington plain!y demonstrate that he ig as unreliable now as he was in 1872 It is not improbable that he has been subjected to some kind of discipline by competent authority, and that bis hes have The paragraph does not appear in the Re publican, however.

Grass, chief of the Blackfeet, was arrested Sunday for harboring and sup- plying bostiles. The Indians threatened to rescue him, but the garrison was too well Prepared to resist, and so the attempt was not made. THE YELLOW FEVER SoFFreERERS.—A dispatch from Savannah, Ga., yesterday, states that there were eighteen deaths there from yellow fever since the last report. Private accounts received at Charleston, 8. C., from Savannah give very distressing ac- counts of the ravages of yellow fever in the jatier city.

Yesterday’s STAR contained an accou at of the shooting at the international rifle match upto theclose of the shooting at the 300 yards rarge. Atthis'range both the Scotch aud American teams scored 525; 80 that the Scots were still leading by nine points, the Americans second, the Irish third, witn the Canadians last. The shooting at 900 and 1,000 yard ranges followed. which closed the match. The Americans on the grounds were confident that their team would yet gain tue jesd by steadily shooting an up-hill maten The leadof tne Scots, they said, was just enough to furnish an incentive for more de cisive and sklilfal work on the part of the Americans, and it seems they were pot mis- taken. Slowly but steadily did the Ameri- cans gainon their opponents until at the close of the match they were 22 points abead of the Irish, who shot well, bat were ten far behind, while the Scots had faliea back to the third position.

After the shooting had ended and its re- sult been announced deafening cheers for the American and Irish teams, who appeared to be the favorites, rentthe air. The best shots of both teams were cheered individually. Addresses congratulatory of the result of the shooting were made by Major Fulton, of the American; Major Leach, of the Irish; Capt McDonald, of the Scotch; Capt. Morris, of tue Australian, and Major O-Relliy, of the Ca- padian teams. Mr. Milner, of the Irish; Col Bodine, of the American, ard Mr. Dyas, of the Irish teams, also delivered addresses, and the great crowd separated with uproarious cheers for all the teams. ENTH TIC SPECTATORS. During this spirited contest American spectators were in the majority ef course. ‘ney came with score books and glasses, aud their line stretched half way down the range to the left of the riflemen. They watched each sbot with breathless interest. When the white disk came up on the et there was invariably a chorus of ‘“‘a buli,” deep and earnest, rolling through the crowd. At &misseach man looked sad. Bahind the Irish were many ladies as well as many en- thoeiastic men. It was an excitable throng, and Major Leach more than once had to turn and check its ardor with Dao hands, as they cheered, “Another bulJ, begorrah.”” A comparatively few Englishmen backed the Australians and Canadians, and tue Scotch had vheir clan of earnest sympathi- zers who bad often opportunity to say, “anither gude buil.” As the mateh pro gressed the Scots seemed to shoot lazily. “They'd better hurry up,” said @ prominent rifleman; “the darkoess coming on will ki!! them, sare.” But the darker and damper it got the better shot the Scots. i PECULIARITIES OF THE SHOOTERS. As these various teams will shoruy make a visit toourcity, it may be interesting to recount some of — rigies of the fa- mous marksmen, the effeet their shoot- ing at Creedmoor produced. Some complaint was made by several of the teams of the neainess of the crowd to the ee The utmost quiet is essential to sboot- ig, and even those whose duty compelled them to occupy positions close to the teams erenot allowed to speak over a whisper. The Americans conversed freely among themselves in low tones, principally on mat- ters pertaining to the shooting, but a strict diacipline governed the movements of all.
