The Tallapoosa arrived at Boston yesterday, bound for Washington, via New York aod Pailadel- ia. great enthusiasm, and the assem- blage dd especial honor to the American eed Irish rifiemen. IT WAS A SPLENDID CONTEST, tement of Major Fulton at the «pd of the match, when he complimented tbe teams which had compelied the home trams to do better shooting than has ever before gone on record, was no mere idle ut- te anes. The result of the first day’s shoot- Ing leit the question of their. ability to win it jn some doubt. Thursday they solvei tbat problem to the tisfaction all concerned. The vanquished bore their defeat like men who Know what it ‘s to meet men worthy of their steel. By persistent effort, the closest attention to their art, and a level excelling quality, the American Caen ager have compelled vic- tory to abide with them once more. Their advantage on the two days’ shooting was twenty-two points over the nearest of their competitors, the Irish, and this despite the exceptionally magnificent shooting of some members of the Irish team. AT THE OPENING OF THE BATTLE Thursday, the Scotch, it will be remembered, were four points ahead of the Irish and nine points in advance of the Americans. Here, then, Was so much disadvan the home team to make up, @ matter to waich they addressed themselves with great expe- dition. It was said in the morning that the battle lay between the Americana, Scotch ard Irish, for the others had made so much “leeway,” 80 to speak, that they were deemed to be practicaily out of the contest. At least 15,000 persons were upon the range, bardly one of them @ merely curious, unin- terested spectator. They had all some wish, fancy or aspiration in connection with the competition; @ nil admirari condition was out of the question where the excitement WAS 8O great and the issues seemed «o large. Here were groups of marksmen in their “patty” shooting dress, now resting under thelr shelter tents awaiting the order to fire; now watching the force and direction of the wind, calculating the atmospheric pressure, or rolling up their scores in @ way tbat sug- gested an agreeable mixture of business with pleasure. These were fronted by the targets and backed by several hundred square yards of observant bumanity, always ready to say “Bull's e” whenever chance and the white disc offered an opportunity. THE FIRST ROUNDS, At fifty minutes past ten the firing com- Menced at 800 yards with @ shot from Fulton, of the American team, for which he got an inner. His example was 6; lily followed dy all the teams except the Irish, which did not begin work until aftereleven a.m. All tbe teams failed to score a great number of buii’s eyes in the ing rounds, owing to the difficulty experienced in getting at the proper wind allowance, which was almost in every instance underestimated, and conse E eagles dl hits to the left and rignt followed. ‘ne interest with which the Americans and Irish were watched on the first day of the competition took a wider scope ov Toursd ty. Success is always apt to demand attentioa, and for that reason ina {THE SOOTCH TEAM oi cea jad & great many je to regal eir movements. Soleran'and slow and deliberate those movements were, and ‘haps the regard which followed it was a little solemn too. At all events it was distant and unob- trusive, for the Scoteh gentlemen would not have apy one ippeonen them too closely. They were leading, however, when they went to the butts in the morning, and it was common potion that they would carry of the grand Ceotennial trophy. Tne keen con- test between the Scotch aud Americans went ou from the beginning. White disc ausweret to white disc, and an outside observer could Dot possibly tell which team was sending tome its bullets with truer effect, but a glance along the line about the middle stage tue ring at the 800 yards range showed a CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS YESTER- pay.—James T.

SURROUNDED BY HIS EN- A gentleman in this city has jast received @ letter from a friend in Paris, one fully coa- versant with the intrigues of Spanish poli- Ucs, from which the following is quoted : An important memorial, intended to throw light upon the restoration of Alphonso XII, King of Spain, is now being prepared with great secrecy io Paris. The volume, of which we have by chance learned, shows by Indis- putable proof that many of the Spanish gen- erals who today figure fawning before the Unrone of the monarch, and who are rece! v- ing his gifts, not only have not coutributed to bis restoration, bat have eon opposed him. Its ahots are aimed principally at Gen. Joveliar, the present governor of the Span- ish Antilles, exbiditing bim by historical and seemingly unim le data a3 the forced hero of the Alphonso movemeut. The documents in proof are a'l etched in fac. simile, so that their authenticity may pot be denied upon comparison of signatures. The first given is the telegram from Gen. Jo- vellar to the Duke De la Torre, who, as the writer bas been informed, aesured him he would defeat Gen. Martinez Campos, and inviting him warmly lo come on with twen- ty battalions to smother tne mouarc’tal in- wita Colonel Ve- lasco, Joveliar’s adjutant, Joveliar refusing his concurrence in the movement, and sending his adjatant for that purpose; @ sworn account of the chiefs and officers of the battalions that formed the Dabac ori- gade, who declared General Jovellar the Orst revolutionist and enemy of the present king. pledging himself to pronounce in favor of Vaimaseda’s orders or the persoa he might delegate; the Plaza orders, — by General Jovellar, he being military gov- erpor of Madrid at the precise time that the mother of the present King was dethroned; acopy of the letter that General Martinez Campos addressed to Canovas del Castillo, him y leaving to form @ minis- try made up of moderados and liberals. Fac similie letters from Queen Isabel, mother of Al; X11.—a sheet with the services of General Jovellar commented upon—and other curious papers.” It appears that these very interesting and hightly important doc- umerts have been brought to light y a colonel of one of the battalions that first Pronounced for King on ge ae and who is now abgry with General Jovellar for pro. moting Colonel Borrero to the rauk of brig- adier general (no doubt because he kept silent in regard to the order which he gave to prosecute General Martinez Campos). a compliment denied by Colonel Borrero. Ia. stances can be seen every day in the Cortes and Spanish prees of the political fickleness of many Of the statesmen of Spain; and so accustomed now is that agitated nation to such spectacles that they are almost looked upon With indifference. Nevertheless, it is believed that the publication of the memo- ae opie Hadber pot = ao considerable ex among Spanish po- Mticlans.—[V. ¥ Herald = ny DEATH OF ROBERT BARNWELL RHETT, R.—Robert well Rhett, sr., for many @ prominent South Carolina politi- cian, died recently in 8t.

The Poisoning of Miss Greve. LONELY AND DISAPPOINTED—VERDICT OP SUICIDE. An inquest was beld yesterlay before Coroner Simms and a jury touching the death of Miss Augusta Greve, who was found dead seated in @ chair at 422% Gates avenue, Brooklyn, last Sunday night. It will be remembered that the post mortem examination which was made on the body revealed the presence of an exceedingly lerge quantity of prussic acid in the stomach of deceased, but @ thorough search of the Premises failed to reveal the slightest trace Of @ vial, bottle, glass or utensil of any de- scription that could have contained the deadiy drug.
