6 STATE AND CITY POLITICS. & Genera! Review of the Political Situation. Politics and Politicians—Republican Leadership in this State—The Policy of the President After the Eleotion—Greeley's Prophetic “Thirty Days”’—Anticipated Change of Regime — Military Intervention— Bullets. vs. Ballots—Democracy “Means Peace’’—The Great Pop- ular Protest—The Duty of the Poople—The Nominations. The natural and popular idea of a politician is that of one who exercises diplomacy and adapts means to an end—who understands the art of com- bination—who knows men, their weaknesses, their wants and their usefulness, and who has the capacity to supply fresh motives for action and to bind war- ring elements into unity. He should be a man of large and liberal nature and comprehensive views, capable of attaching men to himself as well as his causé—not one who exacts submission from the force of mere official position, ‘like a sheriff's om- cer, who has @ consciou~ness of power, but none of good will te or from anybody.” As a gen- eral- thing, what has been in the way of favors or position doesn’’ count as capital for the future; John Van Buren’s idea of a politician was, ‘‘one who has a lively gratitude for favors be expects to receive, not for anything already enjoyed.” A party without a political leader ts like @ church without a bishop. REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP IN THE STATE—GRANT’S EXPERIMENTS. What the republican party chiefly need now is an able captain to steer their tempest-tossed bark through the storms that threaten to engulf it at any moment. Every hour increases the demoralization of the party in this State and more particularly in this city. All the old political tssues which of them- selves kept the party together are dead and gone, Slavery, the one idea on which the party started, and upon which it grew vo such pegportions, is not only settled, bat the democrats themselves eut- Herod Herod in proclaiming support of the princi- ple of equality, without regard to color, race or creed. At this crisis, when the republican party specially peeds sagacity, liberality and forecast, its destinies have been committed, in this great sea of troubles, to incompetent hands, and every move made by the new leaders has been a blunder. Gene- ral Grant has already indicate the policy that will govern him with regard to the dimMcuities of the party in this city and State. He says he has been simply trying “an experiment.” He bas given the control of the State to new men, and if they do not succeed they must accept the consequences, He agrees with Greeley that on the new régime rests the responsibility, and that the failure which is now so threatening will terminate their reign. GREELEY’3S PROPHRTIC THIRTY DAYS. Horace met one of the most prominent new offi- cials of the general government the other day, and, in his peculiar whining way, Said to him, “Go on; you've got only thirty @ays to live, and make the most of them’’—the meaning of which oracular re- mark ts that at the close of this election a new line of policy will be adopted by the President, a new set of appotntments made and peace confirmed with the old leaders of the party. But to accomplish this the defeat of Woodford must be decisive and overwhelm- ing. Ifhe should be defeuted by only @ moderate vote, such as that which Griswold. encountered two years ago, the argument for a change would be very weak. The aggravation certainly has been very great. In addition to the prospective ana uncom- promising course adopted in the State, let as glance atthe NEW INCIDENTS OF MANAGEMENT which have occurred In this city, When the “bread and butter brigade” found they could not control the Gencral Committee ta this city they factiously resisted every motion till midnight on Saturday ar- rived, and then—on the suggestion of Duganne, the poet laureat of the party, and who puoiishes and Bells a Sunday newspaper, and Charley Spencer, who represents the morals of the new rdégime—they left the convention im a body, because sitting longer would be ‘a desecration of the Sabbath.” Then, when the time for the meeting of the nominating convention arrived, under the same leadership of Duganne and Spencer, although they had but dele- gates from four ont of the twenty-two wards, they refused to meet with the regular delegates, and organized a bogus convention without the slightest pretence of regularity, and endeavored to force a course of action coutrary to the general sense of the party, All these efforts falling, the next recourse was to the State Committee, and, by the votes of delegates {rom the country, who, of course, knew nothing of city politics, a resolution was adopted dictating the nominations which siould be made by the local convention. No greater tnsuit than this could bave been ventured upon. It was ®n arbitrary assumption of power never before at- tempted and entirely destructive of local authority these and responsibility; and to accomplish results country politicians such as ex-Se Crowley aud Ramsay and such camp follow Ben Field and others were imported to manage the party in the city of New York. All the interests in he State have been sacrificed to this local quarrel, and every bitter aud malignant supporter of tue old factious disturpers of tne peace of the republican party has hastened here to do his share in sowing the seed of discord. This action of the State Com- mittee, in asserting the principle of interference In Jocal matters and management, ts the most destruc- tive move yet taken; for what can be done in the county of New York can as well be perpetrated in Susquehanna, Niagara and Sti. Lawrence counties, In addition to all this, the State Committee contemplate be yore the organization of the and appointing a sort of volunteer Organization of ten persons to each district, fecruiled from the bread and butter brigade, or Imported @rom the country, to take charge of the polls and spend the money for the election in this city. What more striking illustration of the effect of the nge in the party in this State than the appearance of Senator Crow to manage New York city affairs could be presented? A man who by his vote prevented the republican Governor of the State during his entire term trom making the removals frou aud appointments to oilice which be- longed to his udministration, and whose action tn this respect contributed so largely to overthrow the republican party aud elected Hoifman two years ago—ainan coming pow from the western part of the State to arrogate to himself the dictatorship of local party control here! The system of proscrip- tlon adopted, too, is doing its work of demorallza- tion In every part of the State. Last week the order for the removal of Palmer, the oniy Fenton mun left in ofice al the head of the Appraiser’s Department Was ordered, but was fluully deferred till afier the election. General Jones, Postmaster, ttappears, has auccumbed to the new dynasty; and although a pointed through Feuton’s iniluence, is the only man of any note who has made a show of surrender to the party which now repre- sents the administration in this city. It 19 said, however, tat Collector Murphy has made some new and important moves on the politi- Cal chess-board. For himseif he has resigued his judicial appointment of commissioner for widening roadway. His right-hand man and ‘ancient,’ Ches- ter arthur, has also resigned his crib and “pap’’ in the Tammany stalls, and both Dave gove down to the Peete Bethesda aod got cured of their political istempers. The Collector under this cleansing and curing process seems anew man—rebabilitated in immaculate Tepublican garments, like Hamiet’s father’s $host, “from top to toe, Irom head to foot, my lord.” ‘The fancy man of the party in the State, the elegant and efoquent Roscoe Conkling, was in the city during the week, holdmg solemn conclave with the Collector and other potentates, the upshot of itall being that Mr. Murpny nas really got control of the Central State Committee for the Presldential race in ‘and wa) aig od algo, to be able to get the whip ‘of the ry team here tu the city, of Emin ti ‘are the leaders.

If there ts danger of any dis- turbance which could not be overcom> by the con- stituted authorities there is the National Guard specially organized to aid in the maute- nance of law and order in our State. This guard is made up of our own citi- zeus, and cannot be charged with any parti- san or political characteristics. It ts composed of republicans a3 well 28 democrats, and tn this dis- trict—that of the first division—is commanced by a pramipang republican, Major General Shaler. The ringing of foreign troops here, therefore, under every aspect of the case, 1s unwarrantable and most unjustifiadle. Commissioner Davenport, Gen- eral Butler 8 ex-aid, is doing his utmost to inflame the minds of the people. His advice to the Suyer- visors that they had power to arrest cliizens, which Commissioner Osborn overruled, and the recently announced declaration that he means to issue war- rauts in blank to be filled up by tle desperate band Ofeassistant marsha!s organized by Marshal Sbarpe, 1s another evidence of the effort to create disorder.

The ¢.tizens will submit to every aggravation rather than jose thir votes througit any disturvance. THE GREAT POYULAR PROTEST, he great meeting on Thursday night last was a protest against the course of the autiveriiies in (his respect, and an earnest of the determination of our citizens to exercise their right of voting. ‘The peo- ple have been aroused by these acts ay they have never been before, and the result will be the largest the factions m the republican camp, and who cry out, “A plague on both your houses,’’ wiil regis- ter and vote the democratic ticket, as the oniy mode of protest left against tis dangerous Innovation of military interference in our elections. Should our citizeus, to any extent, fail to register and neglect vote, by tens of thousands, that has ever been | cust iD this city. Even republicans | who are indiferent to the struggles between | | to vote it will be a concession to military interie- rence and an encouragement for the precedent of such interference .p all our coming elections. “It 13 the beginning of the end.” Louis Napoleon at- tempted it but once, and that was at the time of his coup Wat; but In the latter years of his reign the nomination on.

Edmund Connolly, & captain in the Sixty-ninth it, &@ substantial of the district, was induced to accept the nomination with a view of settling the contentions which had grown up over the nomination in this region, Mr. Con- nolly ts prpporied by Joyce, Flagg and Whalen among his original competitors for the nomination and wilt combine the support of all the substantial luterests of the district, John E, Greene after competing for the nomination in the Tammany Cen- vention has foolishly allowed himself to be put in the Geld as a disorganizer, but if ne is wise he will w thdraw and await his chance next year. In the Twenty-first district ex-Speaker Hitchman will be re-elected by a large majority. He under- stands the interests of the district, and will have the influence te secure all the legislation required for its development and progress. John Foley is making a@ little fuss, as usual, but he does not amount to much as fn opposition candidate. The people have discovered what an Ser gas bag this perpetual candidate for office is. His idea appears to be that runulng for oitice is a good advertisement for his business, and this is the ‘be all and the end ali” of Mr, Foley’s candidacy, All that remains now for our citizens to do ts to be on the alert to see that their names are regis- tered to-morrow or next day—the sooner we bet- ae be sure to vote early on the day of elec- tion. Twelfth Ward School Trusteeship. The contest for School Trustee in the Twelfth ward 1s unusually animated. The candidates are John Straiton, the regular nominee of Tammany Hall; Mathew Corgan, the nominee of the demo- cratic Union, and Archibald Phillips, Jr., nominated by the bolters from the Tammany Convention. Mr. Straiton has the tnside track, and his re-election ts certain. Neither of the other candidates ever served as Trustees, while Mr. Straiton has filled this position for the past five years. Any one at all conversant with school mat- | ters inthe upper wards of tue city knows the zeal and devotion with which Mr. Straiton has dis- charged his duties as Trustee tn the past, and the ailection entertained for nim by the children to-day is testimony, perhaps, stronger thaneven a Tam- many endorsement that, as Trustee, Mr. Straiton ts the right man in the right place. His re-election will be hailed with heartfelt delight by the young ones Whom he so long fostered and encouraged in their studies by his presence among them, and by thew parents and guardians at home, where his hame 18 @ household word. Thero is, however, no doubt that the place ne has 80 ably filled in the past will have the benetit of his services for another term. The Twelfth New York District. To THE Epiror OF THE HERALD:— The democratic candidate for the Twelfth New such action would have at any time in- sured his downfail and that of fis dynasty. No event could happen which would tend to show to better purpose the law-abiding character of our cilizens than. the spirit with which they meet this interierence, They understand it as a move- ment to prevent them irom young under a species of terrorism, but they inieud to calmly exercise thisright—the lighest aud most sacred pr vilege they possess. There are 378 piaces of regis- tering and votiug in this city, at points widely apart, and at these tue people will assemble and declare by their bailo's their sease of the indigulty at upon them. Every citizen, tuo, should make it his first duty to register and vote as early on the day as possible; by this means he will be sure that no disorder will interfere with his right, ertoin- ing this feeling, if will not be too much to predict | that the coming election will be the most peaceabie, orderly and effective which has ever taken ce in our city, all officidi efforts to the contrary ustwith- standing. THE REPUBLICAN CHASM WIDENING. The two repudlican organizations of this city— the regular ana the bogus—are still in a condition of | armed domestic hostility, and the breach datly widens. All iuea of the party success in this cam- paign under the leadership of Woodford has been long since abandoned. Spencer, the little Bombastes: Furioso of the Twenty-third street gang, still struts and vapors as the leader of the bogus organization, | York district has been spoken of in the HERALD as a non-resident of the district, and as residing and | doing business in Wasuington city. I desire to say that Colonel Philip 18a native of Claverack, where he resides now, and has ever resided from his birth. He 13 an educated man, a person of higt culture. | He was one of the deirs-at-law of his uncle, the late General John P. Van Ness, who, dying in Washing- ton, left him and others of his heirs a large amourrt of valuable real estate there. Hence he often visited Washington, and has sojourned there in taking care of his inheritance a large part of the time for seve- | ral years, Bué he never abandoned his native resi- nee, the home of bis ancestors, His military title falrly earned in the face of the enemy, having served as one of General Franklin’s aids through all the early part of the war, passing through the Pe- ninsula campaign, 2 which service be contracted severe indisposition.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVAS. The Congressional canvas 1s lively and interest- ing. In the Fourth district Robert B. Roosevelt has been nominated by Tammany Hall and is the candi- date of all the democratic organizations. General McMahon, after hovering over every Congressional istrict in the city and striving for several weeks to defeat Colonel Roberts’ nomination in the Fifth district, hag at last settled in the Fourth district to lead the forlorn hope abandoned by Jonn Fox. In furtherance of his aspiratiens he pledged fealty to the Tammany .magmates—Peter arck Sweeny and Boss Ll tear hare support for any district in the city and prot tion to Tamma all - and ing the utmost devo- ny ite interests. Having failed in securing a Tammany momination he has accepted # Fox nomination in tne Fourth district in oppesition to the Wigwam nominee.

To THe Eprror OF THE HERALD:— Tam glad that Mr. Stewart M. Taylor has finally unearthed himself and allows us poor mortals to know wno “Devoted Yachtman” is, 1 shall,therefore address myself to him as Mr. 8. M. Taylor in this communication. Mr. Taylor in his letter in the Spirtt of the Times last week attempted to answer my question put to him in the HERALD of the 19th of October, where 1 stated that the Tidal Wave had made the best race twenty miles to windward out- side of Sandy Hook, and had shown herself a supe- rior sailing craft. By saying, “Tidal Wave, you spread more cauvas than you can carry; you can sail like @ racehorse in @ light breeze, but whem it comes on to biow you bury. What toany other yacnt 1s or would be @ three knot breeze to them 1s equal toa ten Knot breese te you, &c.; and from your faulty model you would waliow in a heavy seg-way. As to your com- parison of time made under different circumstances, taking the Dauntiess and the Sapphe as the basis of your caleulations, I had always rated you as 8 gen- tleman of too much good yachting sense to draw auy such conclusion.” | Now, Mr. Editor; I did not. tinted to detract trom the reputation of either the Sappho or Dauntiess, for their sailing merits stand too high before the yachting world for me to do that, but merely to show that if the Tidal Wave could make as good a race twenty miles outside of Sandy Hook as those two splendid yachts she was not the fatlure Mr. Taylor attempted to make appear in @ communication, some three weeks befere, in the sSptrtt af the Times, and in his answer as above you will see that he has not touched upon one sitigle point made in my communication and question. He does not undertake to show that the comparison of time is inccrrect and that my statement was: errone- ous, but saya the Tidal Wave hag too much canvas and atauity model, It 1s, therefore, not even an at- tempted answer, but merely two aeclarations—tnat she cannot carry her sall and thac her model # fauity. Now, as to her power te carry her. canvas, Mr. lor has no other means or judging except her performances in the earlier part of the sesson, When I was sailing her with cols twelve tons of ballast, when she should have twenty tons, and I will venture the assertion that there not one schooner yacht in the New York squadron of the tonnage ol the Tidal Wave that would carry gail better than she did with twelve tons ef ballast. At that time she was new and light, and evel cal yachtman knows that it makes about diverence in batlast between @ new vessel and one that bas been in the water one year, She bas at present but twenty tons of vallast, while other yachts of her size carry about turty to forty tons, and | believe she can carry her sail with twenty tons ol ballast as well as other yachts of her class can with thirty to forty tons; and 1 ought to judge bet- ter than Mr. Taylor, who has not seen her unter strong brecze since she has had twenty tons ot ballast, Ag 19 ber Ferny model, Mr. Taylor has not seen her out of water, aiid he might as well attempt to judge of the size of a fish ut the bottom of the ocean, for the satling qualities of a model are mosuly under the water line. But in a communication to the New YOuk HERALD of th2 2ist of October he does attempt to answer my question of the lyth of October as it pT hee in i paper. Mr. ‘taylor’s first point is that I claimed to have made a dead beat to windward. If he will look more closely he will find that |_made no such statement. I merely stated that the Tidal Wave sailed twenty miles to windward in shorter time than any other yacht by four minutes and six seconds, the Daunt- less coming nearer to the Tidal Wave than any other yacht, and beating the Sappho tn her race with the Cambria twenty miles to windward by thirty-seven minutes and twenty-three seconds. Now, Mr. Taylor says the Tidal Wave did not have a dead beat to windward, leaving your readers to Infer that the Sappho «id have a@ dead beat, whereas all ac- counts, of tho race stated that the Sappho and Cambria had the wind as favor- able as the Tidal Wave. The HERALD saye:— “In fact, the beat to windward consisted of one long leg and two short ones.’’ Mr. Taylor admits that from forty-seven minutes it eleven o'clock until twenty-five minutes past one o'clock, being one hour and thirty-eight minutes, the Tidal Wave had @ dead beat to windward. So much for that point. Mr. Taylor's next pointis, that the Dauntiess and Sappho are deep boats and all through the water, while the Tidal Wave isa light draught boat and salis over the water, rather than through it, to use nisown words. Does note greater shadow cover the ‘Tidal Wave, @ light draught, centre-board boat, going over the water rather than through it, for having been so signal, beaten in this race in such a hght wind by two large keel boats, the Dauntiess and the Sappho, which draw at least twelve feet of water, and con- sequently offer more resistance than if it had been adrifty ‘Then we would have known the drst boat in was not sailing on her merits. Now we must ascribe superior salling to two heavy draught keel boats, in a light breeze the greater pert of the race, as compared with smaller and light draught cen: treboarders. y answer as to the lightand heavy draught boats is simply this:—The Tidal Wave is as deep a boat as either the Dauntless or Sappuo, and sails as much through the water as either of them in proportion to tonne; fact which Mr. Taylor seems entirely ignorant of. 1 will explain for his information, so tbat he will not in future make such a fatal mis- take. The Tidal Wave has as much dead rise as either the Dauntless or Sappho, and if the false keel was taken oi irom either the Daunt- less or penne they would not draw any more water than the Tidal Wave, in proportion to their tonnage. The Tidal Wave draws seven feet of water without a false keel, and the Dauniiess or Sappho, without their extra keels, would not draw more than eight fect or eight feet six inches of water. Now, when the Tidal Wave has her centreboard down she draws sixteen feet of water—that 1s, when she is going to windward; and when sailing with the wind free sne generally has four or five feet of board down to steady her, and the Tidal Wave centreboard 1s tour inches thick, So that Mr. Taylor is not correct in his statement, or comparison, between centreboard boats and keel boats, ‘This statement, [ think, will hoid good with the Paimer, Madeleine and Tidal Wave. I cannot speak of the ddler, Madgie or Josephine, which were 13 the race, not having seen. them out of the water. Again, Mr. Taylor seems to think that a smaller yacht than the Dauntiess or Sappho should sail faster in a moderate breeze than they. Now, I think not. In my judgment, where a large yacht, such as either the Dauntless or Sappho, bas a8 much sail in proportion to their tonnage as & smaller boat, they should sail as fast in propor- tion to their size as a smaller boat; and I will risk my reputation a8 a practical yacht- man that either the Sappho or Dauntless earries a8 much, if not more sail, including their light canvas, than the Tidal Wave or any other schooner yacht in the New Yerk squadron, and ought to outsall any of the smalier yachts in light breezes. Now, as to the Sappho sailing the time seven min- Utes shorter than the ‘Tidal Wave, that cannot be taken in the account; for my statement was that the Tidal Wave had salied the race in shorter time than any yacht on record exeept the Dauntiess, and it was true, for the saa aa is not on record in tnat race. 1 nave only Mr. Taylor’s assertion as to the time she ie, which cannot come into this controversy; for she started alter the whole fleet some time, and if, as Mr. Taylor asserts, the wind changed more favor- able alter the start, then she had the advantage. If the Sappho had started with the feet we could then judge more correctly. Mr. Taylor says next, a really fast centreboard boat ought to have beaten the Keel boats that day. Does he mean to say that the Idler and Palmer are not fast centreboard boats? And yet they were behind the Tidal Wave and did not beat the keel boats, As to the Alarm making quicker time home than the Tidal Wave is easily accounted for, because tne wind freshened as we approached the home stakeboat, and the Alarm being far behind had the benefit of a much stronger breeze, But why compare the Alarm’s run home with the Tidal Wave alone? If she beat the Tidal Wave in her run home she also beat the Dauntiess and Sappho, and, in fact, all the other yachts. Mr. Taylor, that won't do. You show too strong a prejudice it the Tidal Wave, and in your effort to wi her d wn you write down many other yachts without intend- ing it. Now, my dear sir, if the Tidal Wave did sail fast it does not 1 aalg that other yachts did not also sali fast, and when I state the facts you ought not to so nervous over it. Your erroris pardonabie, ecause you are not a practical yaebtman. You will please bear in mind that centreboard boats are now being built as deep as keel boats, the oni joe being @ stationary keel on the one pis ineg on the other. And { believe the ed keel boat the better seago! crait of the tw other t) being equal. I believe the centreboard boat will hold to windward in a heavy seaway better than a keel boat; this is my experience for the last thirt beng and 1 have been @ close observer and have been in constant practice. Centreboard vessels were first built to take the place of the lee-board, which was en the side of the vessel to leeward. first centreboard Nyack by a Mr. Henry a placed to prevent falung l. vessel of any size was built at Gesner, about fifty years since. She was a sloop, 6 burden, are’ bottome A reful observance will show that sharp ves- sels are, and will be bullt hereafter, with centre- boaras instead of false keels, and are superior in every respect, except in cabin accommodations, Respectfully, WILLIAM VOORHIS.

Championship Pigeon Match Between Ira A. Paine, ot New York, and Edward W. Tinker, of Providence—One Thousand Dollars and the Goldea Badge Shot For—Paine the Victor. When Ira A. Paine, of New York, a few weeks since wrested the championship badge from Miles Johnson, of New Jersey, as the best pigeon shot in “the United States, it was settled asa ixed fact that he would have many challenges in the future from other crack shooters who had a longing desire to possess it, and in this particular the knowing ones were correct. The first on the list was Edward W. Tinker, of Providence, who at once invited Paine to test his skill for the golden bauble and $1,000, each to shoot at 100 birds, in accordance with the Providence Sporting Ciub’s rules. Paine, by the rignt given him in the premises, had three months’ time to accept the challenge and shoot the match; but, be it sald to his credit, he at once agreed upon the matter with Tinker, and set down yesterday when the little affair between them should be settled. Fleetwood Park was selected as the place where the trial should take place. Both of the principals were early on the ground, and the firing commenced in good season. By the terms of the agreement two traps—H and T—were used, twenty-one yards rise and eighty yards boundary. Mr. Jesse Smith was selected to act as judge for Paine, and Mr Miles Johnson for ‘linker. Oliver N. Mar- shall, a gentleman of great experience, un- questionable integrity and qualities of decision that might well be imitated by others in like capaci- ties, was chosen as referee, Paine shot from a sin- gle barrelled gun and Tinker from a double bar- relled, both having aids to load for them; disinter- ested parties handted and trapped. ‘The assemblage was very good, embracing many gentlemen who love this character of sport, but the day was one to test the skili of the principals, as at times it plew a young hurricane. Among the bettmg fraternity Paine was the favorite at about $25 to $20. The right of fire was tossed for and won by Tinker, and the toss for trap gave him the Htrap. No sooner was it pulled than tne vird fell dead. Paine took his first bird likewise; then Tinker Killed his second 1m style, but made a clean miss of his third, which was discouraging co his frends. Puine. had scored seven belore a cipher was placed to his account, and. when the first ten had been reached Paine was one ahead, a and encouraging lead. Steady shootingson the part of Tinker followed until the sixteenth bird, Which he missed, as well as the seventecnth and eighteenth, which filled his friends witu dismay. During this time Paine had been yulling the trigger with great success, but after Kill- lag the fourteenth bird he complained that he had broken the trigger of his gun and a reasonable time was given him to get another, At the twentieth bird Paine was four the best of it—the same at the thirtieth. During the next tea birds Tinker was unfortunate, a8 he missed the thirty. first, thirty-third, thirty-fifth and thirty-eighth: but then becoming steady again he killed very handsomely ten in succession, The twenty- third and twenty-fourth Paine made clean inisses of, but following this exhibition Killed in effective style twenty-seven birus, se that when time was called for them to wash out their guns and rest—this being at the fifty-first bird each—he had scored forty-eight, while ‘Tinker bad nine less in his favor. At this juncture there was much betting on the resuitof the second fifty birds. Paine's iicnds, so sanguine of his good shooting qualities, were giving odds that in this particular he would also beat his antagonist. Ail these odds were taken readily by Tinker’s friends, although they had to admit that he “never shot 60 bad.’ Wher tie firing. again commenced the interest had taterially increased. Tinker shot fourteen birds very prettily in succes- sion, while in the same number Paine missed four, and Tinker’s stock went up accordingly, At the seventieth bird they stood—Paine, 62; ‘Tinker, 55, and both shooting well. It was a stern chase for Tinker, but undismayed he shot on and better, ‘with deieat staring him in the face, than before. At the eightieth bird he was still seven behind, but at the ninetieth but four behind, Pame having missed three in the last ten. From this on to the finish Paine killed nine and Tinker ty leavin, Uhe former the victor by five birds, The utmost pleasant feeling prevailed during the ‘hooting, net the least agreeable episode beiug Tinker’s. friendly sbaking of Paine’s hand after tie work was over, acknowledging his defeat, but advising his antago- nist to be on the “lookout, as in six weeks he would be in better practice and he meant to stick to him,” The following ts the full score:— Patnez.—1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1,1, fz 1, 1, 1, } 1, 1, 6, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,1,1,1, 1,1, 1,.1,2,1, 1.1.1, 1, 1, 1,1, 1, 0, 0,4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, % Ay dy 0, 1,1, 1, 1, 0, 1.1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1,1,1,1, 1, 0, 1, 1.

ANN’S FAIR. The Fair now being held in behalf of the new church and parochial schools of St. Ann’s nas proved an immense success, and will no doubt prove remunerative. Through the day the serious business of purchasing is transacted, and at night the strains of the Seventh regiment anbd are com- bined withit and relteve the dull progress of barter. The tables, arranged in glittering*order, around the immense floor that has been laid for toe occasion, are abundantly supplied “with choice and valuable articles of every description. Promenading is carried on to an extent. unusual in such places.

Their Appearance on being Sworn Ih Yesterday in Chambers Street—“ Gemmen ob Color’ as State Police—The ‘Young Com- missioner” and the Press—What is @ Secret Session? it might almost be imagined that the United States Court building enjoyed the full ot sensational scenes” and excltements caused with reference to issues of public and even national importance. During the past few weeks a great number of events have transpired. in these depart- ments of the law providing considerable matter for comment in the pubiic press. First, the crowds tuat flowed into and out of the office of the United States Marshal with reference to the enumeration of the population of the city; next in order came the ap- Pointment by the United States authorities of the special deputies and supervisors of election, and now the swearing in of the men who are to be au- thorized under commission to preserve order and agaist in the prevention of corruption on the sth of November next. Yesterday was the day appointed by the Marshal of the United States for SWEARING IN upwards of two thousand special deputy United States marshals, all of whom had received notice by_ letter during the past week to be present for that purpose. As early as“ nine o’cleck an immense crowd nad gathered in and srougd these courts, waiting for the commencement or the ceremony which was to transform them 1rum citizens into po litical policemen. Every moment the crowd seemed to increase; now some friends of those present would enter the building and mix with the crowa; next passers-by would peep im, and, thinking that something either very awful or very grand was going on, pushed their way into tbe halls until they become so crowded that it was simply impossibie ta get from ohe court to the other until those who had entered promhiscuously had again passed out. When the deputies became separated from the other par- ties in the halls they progented @ spectacle than which it would be dificult to find anything more ludicrous and absurd in appearance, and, taking them in connection with the authorities of the United States, one could not avoid uttering exclama- tions of surprise. Whata COARSE LOOKING MASS OF HUMANITY ! The sight of them gave rise to the idea that New York had yesterday been scoured in every direction by the oficers of the law to discover the roughest characters that were to be had, and, having collected aii the “scum” of the city together, had heaped it as by an instantaneous movement, or by a pe 4 magica! manipulation, into the United Stat rts, They would be extromely smart who could find a more motley crew. Here was a monstrous indi vidual, who, to all outward appearance, had been living on ‘turtle for twenty yeara past, shouting out for the “men of the Second ward.” Having gathered as many as he couid of these worthies, he marcned them upstairs to under- go the first preliminary operation of receiving their commissions. Next came ‘Billy Boyst,’’ a Fourth Ward man, shouting in Taracian accents for his “poys.! hat pets they were! Some with crooked knees and club feet; others with but one leg; some looked like “rashers of wind” in their ‘btosely buttoned “‘smocks,” suggestive of empty sto- machs, ‘no breakfast to-day,’ &c.; and here came one portraying an exact counterpart of the famous “Tom Toddy,” having more head than body. There were also @ great number of the “gemmen ob color’! from the Eighth and Eleventh wards. These gentie- men, about 150 in number, appeared, with very few exceptions, dressed up to the last thread, in Sunday costume, in pants varying mm shape and color, ac- cording to taste, some white, some gray and some black; white shirt ffonts, ornamented In some in: stances with A BOGUS DIAMOND that would put Jim Fisks altogether in the shade, close fitting coats of colors varying trom sky biae to aTartan, while the brilliantly polished boots, ana th One hats of the latest mode. complained their attire, of these wits by the name ol Wiogeod (01 caused great amusement by fis ecci Placing his.hat.at: an angle of sixty-five degrees on the s de of his head, and taking his unmense walk- ing stick in his left handin true “Dundreary” style, he paraded the hall insuch an extremely comical attitude that it was impossible to. avoid laughing. But taking these men, who are to actas preservers of the public peace on election day, a8 a whoie, they were the most remarkable agglomeration that have ever been in these courts. HOW THE BUSINESS WAS DONE, As the Circuit Court was not sitting yesterday, Marshal Sharpe gave the newly-appoited Commis- sioner Davenport permission to occupy the Ciroult Court room for the purpose of swearing these men in. It was no sooner kKuown that permission bad been given to use the court than it was filled in every corner, and even the bench was not excluded from the crush. Now came ti “tug of war.’? The Commussioner en- deavored to appease the angry looking, clamoring crowd by stating that he would be as “quick as ne could;” but the real fact was plain to every observer that he was too nervous to do anything. Here were TWO ‘THOUSAND MEN HANGING about the courts for several hours, and yet notni: had been done, 16 was clear he was not capable o! acting in the capacity in which he has been ap- pointed. He first tried to get the men by wards, so as to swear in a number at one time; that failing in @ Measure, he had all the commussions placed on a lomg table, ana then reading through tbe names of those selected for any one district—no matver in what ward—nhe managed to find some in the court each time he went through the papers te answer to their names, and thus he swore them in, EXCLUDING THE PRESS. é Shortly after these proceedings had commenced, seeing some reporters in the court room among the crowd, he at once gave orders that they be all ejected, as “the business, being private, was not of public mterest, and he would not allow those re- orters to present.” Now, at the best, us. Commissioner bears a decidedly weak aspect, but yesterday he was weaker and more timid 1n ing demeanor than he has hitherto proven himself. Not only did he turn the representatives of the press away, but he gave strict orders to hava the doors closely guarded, so that they might not even look inside. But in this he failed, as any ofl- cial would: fail who became so ridiculous as to put authorized reporters from a public court room in the United States when business is belng transacted that 1s not only of mmmense public iterest, but also of great national importance. The agser- Uon that the appointing of men to attend on the occasion of one of the greatest events in @ na. tion’s history—an election—is ‘of no importance,"” only tends more fully to confirm the general impres. sion as to the ignorance he displays concerning the ee) of the position he holds. je almost allowed himself to state that Marshal Sharpe bad desired that nothing should be made public—not even &@ name of one of the deputies. But it is scarcely possible that the nature of the business was considered so bad by Marshal Sharpe aa to render it unit for publication. MARSHAL aw has hitherto, however, act in a more dignified manner than to withhold information from direct channel, which he must know will ooze out in au indirect way, and it 1s scarcely probable that he would now 80 far forget himself and the duty he owes to the public as to prevent the press ulring whatever inlormation might be acquired in the ae. partment over which he presides, The first floor of the courts, leading into Judge Blatchford’s court, represented an immense drinking bar, The fumes of tobacco were overwhelmingly disagreeable out the while the staircase and halt floors wens gaturated qith effusions of to. aceo. It was rumored yesterday that in addition to the 2,000 men who were sworn in in Chambers street abont 6,009 others had received information that at any moment they may be called upon, as THE UNITED STATES AUTHORITIES y aro determined to have 8 suMcient force on hand even to make 1t “hot” for any other authority taat shall dare to’piace ttself in Me tenage oe If occasion res. three. es will be on hand for each policeman in attendance, should there ve any reslst> ance to their orders. THE NEWARK CASR-CORBETT RENCONTRE. “Bil” Corbett, the carman who was so terribl, beaten in Newark on Friday afternoon by an ex- boxer named Michael Oarr, the particulars of which appéared exclusively in the HERALD yesterday, con- tinues at his mother’s home, in River street, in a condition that renders it extremely risky to say whether he wiffrecover or not. ‘The wound inflicted with the base ball club is on the forehead over the left eye, and is several inches long.
