The News.
Baron Renfrew has reached the Queen City of
the West in the progress •of his American tour.
The royal party experienced one of the beauties
of American railroad travel, by a train running
off the trait and delaying him three or four hours.
It was one o'clook on Saturday morning. when
Cincinnati was reached. Of course, there wire a
weloeme—a number of official gentlemen of 1311:Mi.
eipal partook:a being present when the train ar
rived Saturday night there was a firemen's pa
rade, and a ball, at which the Baron danced, of
*oars.. Be remained in Olnoinnati during the
Sabbath. Re upon to reach Washington on
Wednesday.
We learn from Trenton, New Jersey, that at the
preeejlt teem of the United States Cirouit Court, a
salt involving the right to $6,000,000 worth of real
estate, situated in the heart of Newark, will pro
bably be decided. The Methodist Church Soolety
def , ndant, but the present suit—a test one—ie
brought against a merchant named Perry, whohaa
a building on the disputed property. An lotion
.for ejectment hoe been brought against the defend-
ant by Van Buren Ryerson, of New York, to test
the title to the whole property, and much interest
has been created by the magnitude of the claim
and the various intonate affected by it.
We have later news from Pike's Peak and the
Rooky Mountain gold regions. The gold diggings
ware beach:ling more profitable, and miners who
had been discouraged at the results were begin
ning to realise at least $2OO per week. The
weather at Denver City was oold, there having
been ice and falls of snow.
The indications are that direst trade between
Japan and America will be established. Mr. Gal
laher, of Now York, proposes to establish a line of
Clipper ships between New York and Ranagawa,
Japan, where be has a home already established,
and doing a good business. His first vessel is to
mail soon, and will carry out twenty or thirty pas
sengers, and about a thousand tons of freight,
mostly already engaged, and Goulding of ma
chinery, frame houses, and assorted merchandise.
Re 'expects to bring home% quantity of Japanese
seed-wneat,- - which is represented as of superior
quality, and ripens early enough to give places to
another crop. while it is lees subject to smut than
the wheat now cultivated here.
By the brig Avosetta, Captain Tato, we have
news from Bermuda, L. Martin, and other West
India Islands. Bermuda dates are to the 19th
alt. The lontoontinued drought in BaNadoes
and Antigua had at length come to an end, and
there was great rejoicing in consequence. Plant
ing of potatoes, yams, Av., was proceeding vigor
ously, and the growing (trope had revived most
promisingly under the heavy rains which had
fallen. In Jamaica the weather continued dry and
oppressive, yet the health of the island was good.
The . markets at Kingeton were dull ; American
provision in abundance and of slow sale. The Le
gislature bad been prdrogued to the 25th
henator Douglas has reached Louisville on his
Western tour. His reception in the metropolis of
Kentucky was of a moat entlaminetio and extra.
ordinary character. He addressed a multitude of
thirty thousand clams at Preston'. Woods, ap
plying his remarks principally to the position of
Mr Stockbridge in the present canvass. The re
ception le said to have equalled anything of the
kind ever attempted la Louisville.
The Epbtoopal Convention of New York has been
in session. The body adjourned on Saturday.
They were engaged, on -est day, in considering
a number of amendments to the canons, the final
conolusion of which was that they should be de.
aided upon at the next Convention. The annual
address of the Bishop was delivered, the most no•
Beatable feature of which was that relating to the
Prince of Wales. The Bishop thought the visit
would promote unity and harmony between the
twe nations. It was Intended to bold an evening
session, but in the excitement 000asioned by the in
tro4aotion of a resolution relating to slavery, de.
bate on which was choked off "by parliamentary
tactics," the Convention adjourned sine dte, leav
lug a large amount of unfinished business.
An endowment fond of twenty thousand dollars
having been raised for the University of the Pa-
Ban Jose, California, the three professors in
charge ran away with it recently for the Sandwich
Islands.
Fourtsea dead bodies have been recovered from
the ruins of the terrible fire which occurred in New
Orleans on Friday, the 21st ultimo. The deceased
wore nearly all members of the Fire Department,
and were killed while in the
appropriate public Observances.
The WeshingtonWonstitutton publishes a state
meet which shows" a total of exports from the
United ntetes for the &oar year ending June 80,
If the fignieS are rightly given, of $400,167,-
461, against $361,797,209 total imports, being an
Meld of merle amounting to $38,370,252. The
imports are only about one million larger than the
corresponding total tbr 1858-7, but the exports, if
the SOMmary is correst, are upwards of twenty
seven millions larger than for any previous your in
the history of the'obuntry.
A gigantio horse-stealing association, compris
ing over two hundred members, bast recently been
in Denver City, If. T. The association has a
written oonstitution and by-laws, and a complete
sperm of seoret signs, gripe, and pane-words.

Lord Renfrew in Philadelphia.
Lord itzurazw will arrive in Philadelphia
on the els:ling of Tuesday, October 9th, just
In time to les:E : the result of our
.State elec
tion—in which, Of course, he can havo no
possible interest. But he will behold a m
ansion of scenes wholly new to him,—a de
gree or political excitement such as he bad
no previous idea . of.
As his family are more or less musical, this
"Baron bold" may have a natural desire to hear
some geed music:" It is arranged, we under
stand, that Lord Rasirnew will attend our
Academy of Music, on the evening of Wed
nesday, October 10th, where he will witness
the representation of an operawhich will allow
him to hear all the principal female and male
vocal performers in the United States. This
will be his first opera since he left home, and
the only performance of this character which
he will witness `in America. 411 the beat
metal:era of the Ullman & Strakosch troupe
will perform. The orchestra will be increased,
end a proper set of chorus singers who really
can sing in time, and are not po.dtively ugly,
will be employed.
Lord REurnaw's immediate party will oc
cupy the proscenium boxes and about fifty
other seats, contiguous to these boxes, will
be reserved for invited guests of distinction.
The fro; will be splendidly decorated on
this occasion, and used as a place of promo.
made between the acts. The choice of the
opera Is left to Lord RENFREW, who was to
have been at Pittsburg, on Saturday, we be
lieve.
On this occasion, there will be one uniform
rice of admission to all parts of the Acade
my of Music. No doubt, it will be a regular
gi:. night—very brilliant and extremely well
,srranged.
The Agricultural State Fair.
The Agricultural Society of Pennsylvania,
this year, departed from its usual policy of
selecting a point in the southern portion of
the State, along the line of the Central Rail
road, as the place for holding its annual ex
hibition, and after it decided upon this course,
certainly evinced taste and judgment in the
choice of the fertile, beautiful, and far-famed
Valley of Wyoming. Historical associations
were there happily blended with agricultural
displays ; and, besides, an Important portion
of our noble old Commonwealth, which has
almost necessarily been shut out by its loca
tion from all participation in the former ex.
hibitions of the society, was enabled to enjoy
the advantages which attend them. The let
tereof our special reporter, which we are now
publishing, give graphic descriptions of the
grounds, which were arranged in an excellent
style, and of all' the occurrences at the fair.
Although not as successful financially as the
exhibitions held in Philadelphia, there was
a, comparatively large number of persons in
attendance.
It must be confessed, however, that the
geperal interest in the exhibitions of our State

Coercion of a aomeign state.
The doctrines which Mr. Decorate proclaimed
in Ms speech at Norfolk, a few weeks since,
have been denounced so fiercely by the Seees
sionista at the South, that we have thought it
would not be unacceptable to the readers of
Tan Pates to know the attitude which was
assumed by the General Government when
South Carolina, by her celebrated Ordinance
of 1882, declared the revenue -laws, within
the limits of that State, to be absolutely c , null
and void." Gen. SWOON was then Presi
dent, and met the issue tendered by South
Carolina promptly and firmly, by a 7PMO=4-
tioll issued on the 10th day of December,
1882, Congress being at the time in session.
On the 16th of January, 1888, iu a special
message, he communicated to Congress co
pies of the Ordinance of South Carolina, re
viewed the laws of the State passed to enforce
it, and invoked the Representatives of the
people solemnly to proclaim cc that the Consti
tution and the laws are supreme, and the Union
rimissomnaix."
Congress cordially co-operated with the
Executive in the exigency which had arisen
by reason of the nullifying proceedings of
South Carolina, by the passage of w An act
further to provide for the collection of duties
on imports," which was approved by the Pre
sident on the 8d day of Starch, 1888. The
fifth and sixth sections of that act were as
follows:
" Sec. 5. And be it
of
muted, That
the President of the United. States shall
be offieially informed, by the authorities of any
State, or by ajadge of any circuit or district court
of the United States, in the State, that, within the
limits of au& State, any law or laws of the United
States, or the execution thereof, or of any process
from the courts of the United States, is obstructed
by the employment of military force, or by any
other unlawful means, too great to be overcome
by the ordinary course of judicial proceeding, or
by the powers vested in the marshal by existing
laws, it shall be lawful for him, the President of
tho United States, forthwith to issue his proolama-
Clan, deelazlng each fact or information, and requir
ing all suet military and other foroo forthwith to
disperse ; and if at any Haas after issuing sash pro
clamation, any suohoppositlon or obstruction shall
be mede, in the manner or by the means afore
said, the President shall be, and hereby is, au
thorized, PROMPTLY TO EMPLOY SUCH MEANS TO
SUPPRESS THE SAME, AND TO CAUSE THE SAID
LAWS OR moons to be duly executed, as are Au
thorized and provided in the oases therein men
tioned by the act of the twenty-eighth of Febru
ary one thousand seven hundred and ninety-Sve,
entitled 'An act to provide for calling forth the
militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress
insurrections, repel invasions, and to repeal the
aet now in force for that purpose ;' and alas, by
the act of the third of March, one thousand eight
hundred and seven, entitled 'Ar, sot authorising
the employment of the land and naval forces of
the United States in oases of insurrection.'
"Sac. 6. And he tt further mated, That in
any State where the jails are not allowed to be
used for the imprisonment of persons arrbated or
committed under the laws o: the United States, or
where bduses are not allowed to be so used, it
shall and may bo lawful for any marshal, under
the direction of the judge of the United Staten for
the proper district, to use other convenient planes,
within the limits of said State, and to make such
other provision as he may deem expedient and ne
cessary for; that purpose."-4 U. B. Statutes at
Large, pp. 632, 634.
Thus it will be seen that neither Congress
nor the Executive tolerated the doctrine of
nullification or secession, and that both as
serted the right to coerce a sovereign
State, by military power, into obedience to
Federal law. Now, let us see who voted in
Congress for the "Act further to provide for
the collection of duties on imports," com
monly called the "Force 11111." In the
Senate, there were thirty-two affirmative
votes on the passage of the bill, and the only
name recorded against the bill Was Jonsi
TYLNE, of Virginia. Mr. Carmons, and other
Southern Senatoraietired before the vote was
taken. The South Senators who Toted for
the bill Were : EzEitiEr, F. CHAMBERS of Mary

of Delaware, JoaN Foams( of Georgia, FELIX
GRUNDY of Tennessee, Josual S. JOHNSTON
of Louisiana, Wm. C. RivEs of Virginia, G Eo.
A. WAGGAMAN of Louisiana, and HUGH L.
WHITE of Tennessee. With these noted
men of the South we find on the record in fa
vor of the "Force Bill," also, such repre
sentative men of the North as GEORGE M.
DALLAS and WILLIAM WILKINS of Pennul

Forty-five Southern Representatives voted,
therefore, for the Force Bill of 1833, whereby
South Carolina was to lin coerced into sub
mission if necessity regnierit, and thirty.
seven only against it. (House Journal, 2d
Sess., 22d. Cong., pp. 463-4.) And among
those Southern Representatives, let it be borne
in mind, was JAMES K. Pow, of Tennessee,
for whom ten of the fifteen Southern States,
including every (‘ cotton State," voted as the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency in
1844. It is a singular coincidence, also, that
the associate of Mr. POLK on the ticket, as a
candidate for the Vice Presidency, was GED. N.
DALLAS, of Pennsylvania,'who voted in the Se
nate for that same ( ore° Bill" of 1838. Whore,
then, were the Southern fire-eaters, who are
now " big with uncommon wrath " against the
doctrines which Mr. DOUGLAS proclaimed in
his recent speech at Norfolk ? Where, then,
was South Carolina, and whore Virginia ?
History records that they strove with zealous
but friendly rivalry in support of men for the
two highest offices in the Government who
were for invading a sovereign State—and that
sovereign State none other than South Caro
line—with Federal bayonets in 1833, and forc
ing her Into submission.
The North had her representative men in
the House, as well as in the Senate, who voted
for the Force Bill. They wore JOHN QUINCY

Whoever looks over the names of those
who supported the Force Bill of 1888, in the
Senate and souse of Representatives, if fa
miliar with the history of our public men, will
observe that many of the first of that day, in
intellect and worth, and in the confidence of
the people also, were committed against tho
dogma of Secession, which at this time finds
so many advocates at the South—a dogma,
Which, once established, makes the Union of
atates,i which our fatbera intended to be
indissoluble, a rope of sand:, Against such a
dogma we protest, and shall over protest, be.:
sieving it to he, as Gen. JAcorisorr declared in
the case Of-South Carolina, "utterly repug.
;rutty both to the principles upon which the Ge
iitial. Qoeii•JiMent is conshtuted, and to the
Aliteckwhsch Itwas expressly formed to attatn.":
'And our repugnance to it is increased, while
our devotion to the Union Is strengthened, by
a recurrence to the nullification times of 1888,
and reviewing the firm, uncompromising stand
which the representative men of every sec
tion took then in maintaining the ilonsthttion.,
and upholding the; laws.
"Equality" and “Equity."
The enterprising gentlemen who are so
anxious to force the Breckinridge element
into the Democratic electoral tickets of the
free States, have a way of their own to prove
their sincerity and their sense of justice. The
favorite cry of the Brockinridgers, started
by their candidate himself In his letter accept-,
ing the Disunion nomination, is that "equality"
mast be ~enured to an the Staten of the
Union; and Mr. BucueNAß, not to be outdone
by his Vice, announced, oracularly, that
"equality is equity"—a phrase which has be
come axiomatic with the office-holders, who
take the pay and obey the mandates of the
0. P. F. Mr. YANOEY and his echoes dilate
with much eloquence and ingenuity upon the
alleged wrong of allowing the people of the
Territories to settle the slavery question—in
asmuch as, in their view, this would interfere
with the "Equality of the States"—and
as Equality is Equity !"
Let us show the i shamelena hypocrisy of this
argument, by holding it up in the light of day,
and by contrasting it with the treatment of
Judge Dolmas and his friends by the South
ern Disunionist& While haughtily demand
ing that the Breckinridgo element, which is in
an infinitely greater minority in the free
States than the Douglas element in the slave
States, shall be represented on the Democra-
tic electoral tickets, these sticklers for
ge equality " and « equity" as haughtily refuse
to reciprocate, by offering to put Douglas
men upon their electoral tickets in the South !
The war upon Dermas by the Disunionists in
every ono of the slave States is much more
aggressive and merciless than it is upon LIN.
coax. In Maryland, the Breckinridgers, hay
ing seized the organization of the party, muti-
fated the electoral ticket framed before the
Charleston and Baltimore Conventions bad
assembled, by striking from it the names of
those who regard Judge Douches as the regu
lar Democratic candidate. These men are
supported by Mr. Chairman Wrmon in his
Cresson contrivance, Mr. Wruirt justifying
that contrivance mainly upon the ground that
the Reading electoral ticket is regular, and
cannot be mutilated. And, as if to surpass
his complacency, the Maryland Breckinridgers,
after refusing to allow a single Douglas Demo
crat upon their electoral ticket, coolly de
mand of the friends of Judge Dolmas, in
Pennsylvania, to put Breckinridgers upon
their ticket ! In Virginia, an attempt is made
to compromise the difficulties in the Demo.
cratic party, upon the basis of the withdrawal
of Judge DonotAs from the canvass! In Ken
tucky, the State in which Mr. Baretunninan
resides, any attempt to put a Douglas man
upon the Breckinrldge electoral ticket would
excite much more indignation than a propo
sition to put a Lincoln man upon it.
These aro specimens of the treatment ex
tended to Judge Darrow and his friends in
the moderate Southern States. When wo
come to South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, and Arkansas, a still
more offensive policy is adopted, and, if pos
sible, a much more insatiable ostracism is
carried ant against, the supporters of the dis.
tinguisbed Senator from Illinois. We do not
know when we have been called upon to pre.
sent a more striking evidence of the nttor in
sincerity and desperation of these self-con
etituted champions of c: equality " and
cc ecitiity.c,
The Late Murder.
Public interest in the developments in re
gard to the recent murder of ROBERT CICA.I9-
roan is rapidly increasing, and from the ac
tivity and zeal of those engaged In investiga
ting the circumstances connected with it, there
Is reason to believe that all the mysteries in
which it is enshrouded will be cleared up, and
the offender punished. There is something
so shocking in the cold-blooded murder of an
unoffending old man for the paltry sum taken
from the deceased, the possession of which
was evidently the motive of the criminal or
criminals in killing him, that there can be no
ground, in this case, for the sympathy which
not unfrequently prevails for those who, in mo
ments of passion and excitement, or to avenge
real or fancied Injuries, imbrue their hands in
blood. Besides, no community is safe in
which men capable of such a deed aro per.
emitted to ti at .t...... --rue audacity of the
_Arline - an the apparent latowmti r ,ul[... ..141.4.
it May by • itated, if a terrible example is
not made of the murderer of CRAwrenD, ren
der it highly important to the whole city that
the efforts now being made by the coroner's
jury and by the police to ascertain all the facts
should be successful. Let every good citizen
assist them who in any way can do so.
The Johnson Circular.
We understand that the candidates upon the
Democratic ticket in this city have unani
mously agreed to treat with silent contempt
the circular sent to them by JE6BE JOIINEION,
postage-stamp agent, on behalf of the Breck-
Inridgo and Lane Association, which set forth
that unless they pledged themselves to vote
for the Oresson contrivance, they would be
opposed at the polls by all the friends of the
Secession ticket. Indeed, some of the most
earnest advocates of the Reading electoral
ticket c<pure and simple" condemn the Johnson
circular as altogether unauthorized and as re
freshingly cool and impertinent.
Public Amusements.
We have very little to say about the places of
public amusement—except that all of them have
been very well attended during the past week.
Tho Nixon Equestrian Troupe hal three even
ing performances, and one matinee at the Conti
nental Theatre, and bad crowded houses on each
occasion. This) evening, the excellent Ethiopian
troupe, commanded by Cameros k Sharpley, re
sume their business—which, indeed, is a pleasure
to the public—and will be glad to see their friends
at the:Continental, late the National Theatre.
Mr. Anderson, the Wizard of the North, has
bed a very successful week at Concert Hall. His
sleight-of hand is wonderful, and his extremely
gifted children are of easentlel use in assisting his
truly astonishing performances. We never had
anything half 40 good as the Wirard'e wonderful
Nate. He gave a matin'Oe on Saturday, for the
benefit of ohildren, and had a very great attend
ance. He will perform every evening during the
present week. Ho is the legitimate successor of
Robert-Houdin, and his superior in some points.
Loot week, the excellent company at Arch-street
Theatre gave a succession of popular standard
comedies, which, when well acted, are a groat deal
better than nine-tenths of the flashy sensation
pieces of the present day. The Arch-street com
pany can do justioe to these plays. Thin evening,
Torn Taylor's new comedy of " The Elootion,"
with some adaptations to our American society and
institutions, will be performed for the first time in
this city. The east is unusually strong, and the
produotion of thie piece, jest on the eve of our own
elections, is a well-timed and happy hit.
Sanford's Ethiopian Opera House, Eleventh and
Chestnut streets, has had a run of good homes
since the commencement of this season. In bur
lesques and parodies, which Sanford'e Opera
House is celebrated for, there is nothing of the
sort half so good as is presented here.
Mies Caroline Riohings and Mr. Peter Riohinge
remain at Walnut•stroet Theatre this week. They
have performed two of Balfe'e operas—. The En
chantress" and The Bondman," the last named
being a novelty, as good as new, for it has not be
fore been played here. It is one of Balfe's beet
productions. MoFarren'e opera of The Magic
Bridal" Is underlined, and will be performed on
Wednesday. We have only to add that Mr. Rich
loge, who has the boon of eternal youth, playa with
the spirit and ease of a man of twenty-five, and
that, besides her voice having become fuller, Miss
Richinge is now a very dramatic) vocalist—a duo
oomedten2ze, in foot, as well as a sweet, s,ympa
thetio Binger.
This is the last week of the Martinetti-Ratel
company at MoDonough's New Gaieties—now one
'of the moat complete, as it is the most compact and
convenient theatre in this city. To-night, they
bring out the now pantomime of " The Red 1 11104 1 01"
exactly as they played it at Niblo's Garden, New
York. There will also be a good deal of fine
dancing. This day week, 4fr. kfevonough will
break new ground, with a complete and ernolont
dramatic company.
it Fortuitous Likeness I
The portrait of the Rev. Dr. Dale, of London,
engraved on steel, given with the lastrreo.olved
number of the Illustrated News of the World,
(which we have just received from R. A. Brown
Co, Boston, the American agents,' accidentally is
a splendid likeness of our friend Morton fdoMinhael,
Esq., of the North American. What is more aln
gular, the likeness holds good, though the Rev,
Canon Dale's a man of florid oomplexion, and is u
good deal above the middle stature, in
,both these
respects differing considerably from Mr.Motlichael.
Those who have seen and heard Mr. MaMiohael
making one of his chanoteristioally shrewd and
witty after•dinner speeohos, will reeognir t e even
his very stand in this portrait of the Rev. Dr. Dale.
Indeed, there is something tending to the clerical
in our friend's appearance, which should beimnsi.

friend MoMloheol look very like a dignitary of the

CINCINNATI, September 29, 1880.
The Prince and suite arrived at 1 o'clock this
morning. In consequence of a freight train hav
ing run off the track, they were delayed thrco
hours. They were accompanied by Mayor Bishop,
Budge Storer, W. Sibley, president of the Chamber
of Commerce ; John Torrence, president of the City
Council; Rufus King, president of the School
Board, end K. B. Bowler, who met the train at
Coohran'e, and tendered the hospitalities of the
city to the guests.
In spite of the late hour at which the Prince of
Wales and suits arrived last night, quite a crowd
collected at the Burnett )101188 to see him, ifs was
taken up stairs by the prirate stairway, and the
crowd, though cheering and pushing in great
style, saw nothing of the Prince.
The Prince has the ladles' drawing room icr a
parlor, but some of bis suite were put in the story
nail to the roof, in No. It.o, and were dissatisfied
thereat.
Early this morning a great crowd collected In
front of tho hotel.
At 10 o'olook, the Mayor want up to mill the
Prince, and found hint still abed. Soon atter: the
Prince came down to breakfast in a private room,
and the crowd, salting the first opportunity of see
ing him, rushed forward, hurrahed, and opened a
cane for him to pass. On his return, he ran the
gauntlet swiftly, and hurried up stairs on a full
trot, causing much disappointment among the
people.
When the Prince entered his narringe to drive
through the city several thousand persons had col
butted, shearing enthu,slastically. The crowd
sorambled after the carriage, blocking up the
street in every available spot, occupied the this
walks, and lined the windows. The street was
fog acarrisges, drawn up, loaded with spectators.
All hurrahed, seine for the Prince, some for old
Abe, Dug. Ball, and other political favorites, in
every ease, according to the Western practice,
shortening the Lame to ono syllable. The ladies
waved their handkerchiefs, and the Prince bowed
repeatedly.
The Prince drove through the principal streets,
And then through a portion of the town where
hogs aro killed, and where the odors wore more
evident than pleasant, and then out to the village
of Clifton, to the residence of Mr. Bowler.
A great orowd oolleoted upon the open square to
pee the Prince attend the ilre•engine show. He
did not return in time, however, but drove di
reotly to the hotel, wont to bed, and slept till
dinner time. Even the servants are followed by
orowda.
Mr. Pike, proprietor of the opera house, ar
ranged the ball for this evening, and it was ex
tensively advertised that the Prince would ettend.
The tickets wore printed for the "Reception of
Els Royal Highness the Prince of Wales"--611100
here in the West the people have given up the ti
tles Lord and Baron Renfrew, and insist on the
Prince preserving his title.
The opera house, where the ball was held, was
moat brilliantly illuminated, and the purquette
was tittered over to the stage, open to the wall,
and decirated with natural delvers. In size the
building's almost as large as the Academy of Mu
sic.
A great crowd collected in front of the hotel, and
a greater one in front of the opera house.
After many cheers and mistakes on the part of
the crowd, the Prince at last arrived, precisely at
10 o'olook. The ball compaittee held a brief con
ference with him in regard to partners, and the
whole party were then taken into a private boy.
About one thousand persons were present. The
ladies were moat riehly dressed, and the cony (Pent
was magnificent.
After a few moments' delay, the ball was com
menced with the old-fashioned promenade. The
Prince then opened the bell, the royal party and
others dancing upon the stage, a few others on the
parquette. The ;Ind dance was the " Jubilee"
quadrille, the Prince having ter his partner Mrs.
fJolonel Pike, wife of one of tie "comm(ttee, the
proprietor of the opera'houee, and the originator
of the ball. •
Everything at first appeared stiff and forinal,
The people seemed afraitt of the Prince, and the
Prince of the people, and but few danced. The
Prince also made several mistahos, rot being 'au

himself, and enjoyed himself Wide usual style. yle

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
Speech of Hon. William Bigler.
The roome of the Breckinridge Central Amok-
Son, at Tenth and Chestnut streets—the Assembly
Building—were moderately full at an early hour
on Saturday evening, to listen to an address from
Senator Bigler, of Pennsylvania. A new plat
form has been ereoted on the east aide of the room,
for the use of the speakers, while the old stand, at
the northern extremity, has been appropriated to
the use of the orchestra. At eight o'clock on
Saturday evening, Mr. Bigler entered the hall,
nocompanied by Alfred Day, Esq., president of
the assooistion, Throe cheers were given for the
illustrious Senator, and be mounted the rostrum
amid the moat uproarious applause.
Before introducing Mr. Bigler, the president,
Mr. Day, 'aid it wan a pleasant thing to him to
meet so many of his fellow-Demoorats at any time
—men who relied greatly upon their principles—
prineiples that gave elevation to motive, and effi
ciently to action. It would be his pleasure to in
troduee to them a distinguished son of Pennsylva
nia, who would address them at length upon the
important issues that stir the country at this time.
They had now opposed to thorn the same unscrupu
lous and uncompromising enemy that they had in
1858, which Fremont christened with the waters of
defeat, now animated by the same sentiments.
Without a angle elevated idea or extended view,
they were marshalled under a flag with the half of
its stare blotted from its azure field, and, like the
night raven, which dismally screams its hideous
notes, they send up a mingled yell of treason and
rebellion. They rest their hopes now, as they did
Id '5O, upon the amount of malevolent feeling they
may engendtk, the falsehoods they may fabricate,
and the slanders they may utter. Instead of ap
pealing manfully to the judgment and reason, they
make wilful and exaggerated statements, in order
to disturb and agitate the people of one section
against the people of another. Why do we Fes a
party in the North reared in bitter hostility to
' the oonstitutional rights of the South ? Are
not the citizens of the South equal to us?
Are they not held by the same bond? Aro our
rights more dear tone than theirs to them? Has
not the South proved itself faithful in the discharge
of its obligations to the country? Ho was not
there as the peculiar advocate of her peouliar in
stitutions, but it was impossible to find an Instance
where she bad not proved herself loyal. The Re
volutionary struggle commenced in the North and
ended in the South. The North furnished her
Franklin and her Hancock, the South her Henry
and her Jefferson '• the North her 43 reeno and her
Putnam, the South her Marion and her Sumpter.
In !the North stands Bunker Hill monument, in
the South is Yorktown. Here, in the city of
Philadelphia, is Independence Hall : beneath the
shade of Mount Vernon the grave of Washing
ton.
The epenker was hero interrupted by loud ap
plause. The band, atatloned at the other end of
the room, doubtless supposing he had finished his
remarks, atruok up Hail Columbia." When
they had ceased playing, Mr. Day introduced
Governor Bigler.
MR. EIMER'S APMECII.
Mr. Bigler said in brief that in his argument he
did not anticipate amusing the audience. It wee
well, however, In his homely way, to reason with
them. The elective franchise was not simply a
privilege but a duty, peculiarly eo when the times
were perilous and discordant; when a geographical
party was making war upon the rights of fifteen
States, and outraging the tenderest sensibilities of
millions of our brethren, The Constitution was the
record which defined the rights of °Meerut and
guided the statesman.
Differences of opinion, said Mr. Bigler, in regard
to Governmental questions, aro the - legitimate off
spring of our free institutions. Immediately after
the formation of our Government parties were or
ganized, and men, than as now, contended with vi
gor, and too often with bitterness, for their pecu
liar views. In the early stages of the Republic
men differed and contended about Jay's treaty,
the Embargo, Burr's treason ; about the Alien
and Sedition laws • about the acquisition
of the Territory of Louisiana; about the
Bank of the United States, and at a later pe
riod about the tariff, about the protective policy;
about rechartering the old bank; about the an
nexation of Texas ; about the eatablishment of a
sub-treasury; about the distribution of the pro,
ceeda of the publie lands, and other mere ques
tions of expediency. It is worthy of remark in a
Democratic, meeting (and the fact redoes honor
upon the Demooratto party, and should commend
It to the confidence and support of the country)
that in each of these controveralee, as they arose,
[ party were right. Applause.]
, lime ellck. eXpOTICIAm Lb • w imp,
of Demooratio policy in every itiqtanee. (Cheers.i
-I have not time to-night to refer to the details of
history, else I would prove the assertion; but it is
an astonishing foot that there is not to be found in
the archives of the country a vestige of the mea
sures or policy of any party that ever opposed the
Democracy. Whatever the traducers of that party
may say at this day, if its existence should now
close, the honest historian would be obliged to
record that there never existed a wiser or a more
petriotlo organization. [Great applause
Mr. Bigler then said that he intended to test
men and parties by the Constitution, and to show
that the doctrines of the Republicans were incon
sistent with its etatutes, and revolutionary in their
notion. Ile then read an extract from Daniel
Webster, to show that if the Northern States re
fused to carry out the fugitive slave law the
South would do right to withdraw barn the Con
federacy.
It is the right of each State, said the speaker,
to have the institution of slavery or not, as it
pleases. This is not disputed even by the Repub.
Ifeses---I mean by the conservative branch of
them. So mach, then, is settled But they Hay
'hey intend to interdict its extention to the Terri
tortes By what authority, I ask, can this be
done? In 1556 this was almost their only pretest
for agitation on the subject of slavery is the
North. Then they had a right to preach that
doctrine, lint now they have no right, as constitu
tional men, to do any midi thing. Wke not?
Since UM the Supreme Court of the United
States, the tribunal authorized to define the clean.
log of the Constitution, has determined the; Con.
greys beano such authority ; that the Missouri re.
strietion, enacted for that purpose, wan unconstitu
tional; that it it not competent for Congress to
deny to the owner of a slave the right of migration
to the common territories, there to hold and enjoy
his slave property. Yet, in the face of this solemn
decision, in the very teeth of the Constitution, the
Mack Republican party have made it an article of
their creed that this thing shall bo done; and even
now their candidates for Congress throughout the
country ore being pledged to carry out that article
of their faith.
Look at this matter practically, as law•abiding
citizens, and thou imaslne how the South moat
feel on the subject. The Constitution prohibits
Congress from making any snob restriction ; the
shall do that preolse thing, and they oral ..:ging
their Republican party deolaro that o , mgress
rmembers of Congress to carry out that doe•
trine. What is this but rebellion against the laws
of the land What clearer point can be made
against them? and am 1 not fully sustained in the
allegation that they seek to wage a war on the
Constitution? r 4
Now, gentlemen, if the Republicans will conform
themselves to the Constitution as defined by the
Supreme Court, I ask you, what earthly connection
can they in the North have with the question of
slavery They need not eleot members of Con
gress to re• onset the Missouri lino, for the Consti
tution denies to Congress that right. Then, in
what other way can they reach it ? Tho truth is,
that this decision of the Supremo Court has severed
the last link which connected the people of the free
Staten with the subject of slavery If these Re-
publicans ore really dying for n tight about slavery,
they must go where slavery exists, or they must
propose to establish it in the free States whore they
live, or they must go to the Territories, whore they
can vote on the question of making a free or a slave
State at the time of forming a State government.
Mr. 'Weer then attempted to show that the Re
publicans ignored the fugitive-slaps law by sundry
enactments.
These enactments, said ho, show a determination
to rosiat the execution of the law—a law intended to
fulfil, In good failh, a compact contained in the
bond of 'Onion, made by our fathers,and by which
we, as honest mon, are bound to abie.
The State of Maine imposes a fine not exceeding
51,000, or a penalty of a year's confinement in the
common jail, upon every State officer who shall
arrest or detain it fugitive Slave,
MaSSLICLUBOttz forbldo her judges and magistrates
to take cognizance of the act of Congress ooncern•
Ing fugitive slaves, and prohibits her State officers

person other than the owner arresting a fugitive
slave, punishes with the and Imprisonment any
member of a military &away who shall aid in
the execution of the fugitive•slavo law, and dis
qualifies commissioners of the United States under
the fugitive•slave law from holding any State Judi
olal Moo.
Michigan makes it the duty of the State attor
neys to defend fugitive . slaves, and denies the use
of State prisons la tho execution of the fugitiye
slave lan.
Rhode Ts . land forbids any aberiff or other officer
from arrostiog or detaining any fugitive slave
under a penalty of $.51119 and Imprieonmord for alx
months.
New Hampshire liberates, by statute, any slave
who ehall come, or be brought into, or be in the
State, either by consent of his master or involun
tarily.
lu Ohio it has been attempted to defeat the exe
cution of the law by a judicial intorpretat len of a
habeas C02111G3 eat; and ajudge has been driven
from the beech by the Abolition party for no other
reason than that he attempted to administer the
fire'slave laW honestly and faithfully.
r. Bugler then read a clause of the Republican
platform of 1855, declaring polygamy and slavery
twin relics of barbarism.
Fellow-oltizens of Philadelphia and of Penner/ I
vania, said the speaker, you are in constant inter
course with Bentham men who some bore to pa
trouts° you. You who are inerobenta gladly take
by the hand your Southern customers, recommend
ing to them your Miles, and resolving their mo
ney. Yeti manufacturers of machinery and fa
brics needed in the South desire the patronage of
Southern men. That kind of commerce Is right,
and it is useful. It helps them, and it helps us.
The North and the South aro mutually important
to each other. Now, gentlemen, look at this
matter. A great party in the North splin
t:date the dootilue that Southern elavoholding
—an institution the right to whioh lc solemnly
guaranteed by the Constitution of the United
States—is a crime as offensive as polygamy,
and they ask the people of the Vnited Staten to
n‘lorso that sentiment! BOW painful it le for
me to remember that that sentiment, so profound
`..y offensive, so unjust, ehould have received the
sanction of nearly ten thousand men in the tiity of
Philadelphia, in 1856, and from 147,000 in this eon
servative State of ours. Gentlemen, the English
language never embodied a more offensive para
graph than that. Suppose the ease reversed. How
would you feel were such an imputation oast upon
an institution of your State by an influential party
in the South? !cannot speak for others, but I
will say, for myself, that, rather than go down
there and impose myself upon those who Ind thus
denounced me as a criminal, I would go to the ut
termost parts of the earth for my fabrics. (Ap
plause.]
Mr. Bigler then extensively quoted the helper
Book and. the Blake anti-player) , resolution offered
in Congress. The latter had been endorsed by
sixty Republicans. he also alluded to the lyre
prondblo conflict," quoting Mr. Seward.
The enunciation of that sentiment startled the
whole country as with the tolling of a fire-bell at
night. With lightning speed it was parried all
over the land, and everywhere the anxious inquiry
was, "What does it mean? Does Mr. Seward I
mean that the barriers of the Constitution are to
be over-ridden ; that our Government is to be re
duced to one of force; that if he and his party get
into power they will subvert the Government and
by mare force of numbers bring about this final
result which he predicts ?" At the time that sen
timent was uttered many were fondly hoping
that the slavery question had been 'settled, and
the Country was to have peace. But they saw
in the pronundamsento of Mr. Seward the end of
all their cherished anticipations. No one doubted
that he was the originator of the idea, and at a
later period it was thought that ft was on account
of the utterance of this sentiment that Mr. Seward
was not nominated at Chicago. This idea was ens
trued to some extent by the fact that when Mr.
Seward returned from Europe, where he had been
lionized by the friends of the African slave, and the
enemies of our Institutions, he, finding the deep
agitationprevailing in the country on this subject,
lowered his flag.
Mr. Bigler placed Mr. Lincoln upon the same
unconstitutional platform. He said, however:
Of Mr. Lincoln, personally, I have nothing un
kind to say. De is doubtless a very worthy MO
eon and a gentleman of fine intellect : but I fear
be ia very much of an Abolitionist. I think he is
a fit ropreeentative of his party. In his speeches,
he Mows himself to be very deeply concerned about
the condition of the Africans, the equality of the
blacks with the whites, and he quotes the Declara
tion of Independence to show that that instrument
intended they should be equal.
Dut if any evidence were wanting to show Mr.
Lincoln's complete identity with the Abolition
party end the "irrepressible-conflict" and the
" higher law" heresy, it Is furnished in Mr. Be
ward's speech at Boston, in wl.lOll he says that
Abraham Lincoln's claims to the Presidential
chair rest upon the fact that he confesses to the
obligations of the "higher law," which the Sage
of Quint* , proclaimed, and for weal or woe, for life
or death, he has enlisted in the "irrepressible
conflict" between freedom and slavery.
Mr. Bigler then wont in to a long and unnecessary
argument to prove that the South had not been ag
gressive. It woe very tame, and contains nothing
now. lie also asked what the Republicans wore
going to do with the negro, and suggested various
things which they could not do with him. Per
haps there are men ready to say that I am coming
right square out as an advocate of slavery. lam
doing no such thing. lam treating this question
as a practical question, just as we find it. lam
a constitutional man, and I have no idea that the
condition of either the black or the white race is
to be improved by violating the Constitution, and
breaking up the Union. [Great applause.]
Gentlemen, until these fanatics can present to
us some practical remedy, can we not say with all
propriety, " Mande off] In peace and good will
allow to your brethren of the South the enjoyment
of en institution which they wore permitted to
have when the Union was formed. Cease this
vexatious war. Disband that organization whose
special mission it eceme to be to torment the
country, and, if possible, dry up the very channels
of intercourse between the North and the South."
Dismissing that branch of the subject, I desire
now to say a few words on the points of unhappy
difference now existing in the Demooratie party.
On this topic shall be very brief. Mush that I
might say would not, perhaps, be profitable at this
time. At all events, with my strong desire to alley
whatever of ill feeling may have arisen amongst
us. I shall avoid unpleasant topics. Bat there is a
difference which it is right to notice, and the fair
presentation of which will, I think, tend rather to
bring ns together than to rend ns asunder. Cau
-1 tlemen, that difference has reference to the question
of slavery in the Territories. When, in 1854, it
became necessary to organize the Territories of
Kansas and Nebraska, it was determined by the
Demoorats in Congress, without any exeep-
Gone, that whatever authority Congress possessed
under the Constitution. over the subject of slavery
I in the Territories, should be delegated to the pea
pie of those Territories; that Congress should ex
ercise no authority over the question whatever;
that whatever authority could be wielded under
the Constitution should bo given to the people of
the Territories. On this point there was no differ
ence whatever. There was a difference of opinion,
however, as to the measure of authority conferred
on Congress by the Constitution. Some said that,
under the Itanaaa-Nebraske bill, the people would
have a conclusive control, that they could establish
or abolish slavery as they pleased during their
Territorial condition. Olken said, "No ; Congress
is bet a trustee for the States en taking oath of this
common estate; it is acquired by common blood
and treasure, and belongs to all the States ; there
fore,' so long as that common ownership remaips,
tbe Territories, if open at all, must bo open to ell;
and neither Congress nor the Territorial Legisla
ture, prior to the formatl6n of a Constitution and
State Government, can deny to the owner of slaves
the right to migrate to the Tertitory and hold his
propertelthere." [Lend applause.] Whilst this
was a grave difference, it was not, yon will see, a
difference connected with the language of the
ICanstm and Nebraska bill. It was a difference of
opinion as to the authority which the Constitntion
delegated to Congress.
They all conceded that, whatever might be the
extent of that authority, it should be fully be•
stowed upon the people; and Democrats all agreed
_that the question as to the extent of legislative
pewee eesseseet.a.ay.the Constitution meet rieeema
rile, be a inditsial lineation; and they agreed, by
oommon consent, to refer that question to the jddi-
Mary. It was for the judiciary to determine The
question as to the authority which the people of a
'territory could exercise over Slaves and slave pro•
party under the Constitution. So the question stood
in 1856; and hence it was that, in the dime
stone of that contest, all Demoorats, North and
Smith, made issue with the Republican party, say-,
log, You are for intervention ;we are for non
intervention by Congress. We have agreed to al
low the people of a Territory, during their Terri
torial condition, to excrete° over the eubjeot of
slavery all the authority which the Constitution
permits." We era for the rights of the people.
[Applause ] 'We preferred that to intervention
by Congress. We did all that; but did any one
thereby intend to say that the people in the Ter
ritory should exercise an authority not allowable
by the Constitution? No man could say that, be
cause the Kansas and Nebraska act said, In ex.-
press language, that the people should, be left
perfeotly free to form, and regnlate their insti
tutions in thole own way, subject only to the
Constitution of the United States—not enbjeot
to Congross—not aubjeot to any outside power.
Whence, then, arisee our present difference?
Since that time the Supreme Court of the United
States, inn ease properly before it—the Bred Scutt
case—bas had occasion to lay down the constitu
tional law on this point. The point of difference
amongst Democrats, and which they agreed to re
fer to the Supremo Court, has, in my humble
opinion, been decided. There is no dispute ae to
one point; and that is, that the prineiples of con
stitutional law, enunciated by the Supreme Court
in the cam of Dred Scott, would, whenever and
wherever applied, deny to Congress or the Territo
rial 'Legislators the right to interfere with the
migration of the slaveholder to the Territories with
hie slave property. Tnat is the doctrine clearly
expressed in the opinion. ef
f e eThegreat principle, you will observe, IS the com
mon ownership of the Territories; you find that
this decision is predicated on the doctrine that the
States aro perfectly equal. The vital principle of
that decision is, that the principle of perfect equal
ity among the States must prevail in the use and
enjoyment of the common estate. That is a prin
ciple which yon all understand.
Gentlemen, the question is re,theed simply to
this: It has been judicially decided that slaves are
property ; that is an old decision, and nobody dis
putes it at this day. The Supreme Court has also
decided that the owner of that property has a right
to take it into any of the common territories, to
hold and enjoy it there the earn° as any other pro
perty.
Now, gentlemen, what is our point of difference?
Why, so far as a very large clod of Judge Doug
las' friends are oonoerned, and so far as re•
speets the platform of his party, it is only
a difference as to whether the deoleion has
been made or not. We say that it has been
made, and that all good oitizens must obey it;
they say that it has not been made, but that, when
it shall be made, they will obey it. New, that is
not a difference big enough to break up the Union
about. [Great applause ] But between us and
Judge Douglas himself there is a wider differenee.
That difference grows out of his Freeport speech,
in which he enunciated the doctrine that, no mat
ter how the Supreme Court might decide that ab
stract question, the people of the Territories
lied still the legal moans of preventing the ex•
istence of slavery within their borders; that
is, that when a citizen of the United Staten
goes Into a Territory with his property, which the
Supreme Court has decided to be property under
the Constitution, and which he has the right to
hold in the Territory, the people may prevent him
from enjoying that oonrtitutional right. Gentle
men, Judge Douglas never tittered a worse sentle
wont in his life ; seldom has ono so bad fallenfrom
the lips of any Amerloan statesman. L was glad,
at one time, when ho thorned disposed to mother it;
I had hoped sincerely that he would abandon it
entirely. If it be a constitutional right of the citi
zen to take that species of property into the Terri
tories, gentlemen, there is an end of the question.
When there, it moat bo eared for as other pro
perty. Gad faith and fair dealing forbid that It
should be driven out by indirect means, by " un
friendly legislation," by discrimination in taxa
tion, or by any other mode. , It is heterodox to say
that the people have the legal means of destroying
the enjoyment of n constitutional right. [Enthu
siastic applause.] '
Met 'meld very well be sensitive in regard to some
points of argument whlehJudge Douglas Is making
bn hie tour tbrough the country ; but, as I Intimated
efore, I do not intend unnecessarily to dwell on
snob points, and I shall merely refer to a few of
them.
Mr Denotes bus been in the hableof saying that
the Republicans and the Breekintidge party are
alike interventionists ; that the Itepublioanit
propose to intervene by not of Congress to inter
diet slavery in the Territories, ON the Breckin
ridge party propose to intervene to encourage and
maintain stormy in the Territories. Gentlemen,
there would be muoh signifteanse in this logic,
were it sustained by the facts ; but I utterly deny 1
that the platform upon which Mr. Breckinridge
stands or any sentiment that ever emanated from
him, justifies Judge Dangles or any other manic
saying that Mr. Breekinridge and his friends are
for intervention, to favor the policy of slavery, or
for a slave code, or anything of the kind.
Mr. Bigler spoke as follows on the tariff:
Mr. President, I could tell you a long story on
the enbjeot of the tariff; bet I have occupied your
time too long, and I shall not go into that subject
to-night. You know what my views are on the rub.
pct. It Is a difficult lied complicated question—a
question of conflicting interests between different
sections of the Union; and the representatives of
each generally contend to what they eeneetve to
be the interest and wishes of their constituents.
The Republicans, jest now, aro attempting to per
suade you that these New England gentlemen and
thistle Northwestern people are perfeetly willing to
aseesn taxes on themselves, and pay them for our
benefit. I tell you it is a tiolnelons ,
lam myself in favor of disoriminiiiing duties. I
think a great deal can bo done for -home industry
by a change in the mode of asseesitat the duties.
The principle *Amply is, that we 0101 rake from
that source the revenue necessary to support the
Government. The mode of assessment is right or
wrong, loot as it operates equally or unequally.
Upon very many articles the duties can usefully be
applied specifically. Bach a mode of assessment
helps the home producer, protects him from foreign
competition, checks fluctuations, and guards them
against over - importations. I favor such a system.
I am for aiding our home industry as far as we can
justly do so, and so is Henry D. Foster. Certainly,
no fair•minded man will pretend that Henry D.
Poster, elected Governor, could not do more to
carry out mu views on this subject in Congress
than could Mr. Curtin. But enough on this point.
The remaining remarks of Mr. Bigler are un
important. He stated that his second Mole° was
Douglas, big first preakinridge.. The letter gen
tleman he highly eulogised.
After the adjournment of the meeting, Governor
Meet was serenaled at the Merchants' Hotel.
He gave a short speech, and was uheared. 'fetches
accompanied the serenaders.
THE. LATE HORRIBLE MURDER tN THE
IngermyrU WARD.—The excitement relative to
the Into terrible tragedy in the Nineteenth ward,
of this city, remains unabated. The testimony
already published In The Press has awakened a
degree of interact unparalleled in the history
of crime in Philadelphia. The youthfulness of
the prieener, his boyish attitude, and seaming In
nocence, coupled with the dark revelations which
appear to point toward him as the accessory, if not
the direct perpetrator of the deed—the deed itself,
with its mysterious surroundings, the bloody
wagon, the strange story narrated by the prisoner
of his lonely road to a lonely spot, and the absence
of the parties whom he swears to have entered his
vehicle, together with some new revelations, as
yet unknown save to the olSoere of the law, give
to this crime an appearance of fearfulness which
not even the eyes of those experienced in the de
tootion of villainy can explain.
The most singular part of the testimony elioited
is that which related to the time of the horrible
transaction. It was a quarter to tea o'clock when
the wagon from which issued screams passed along
St. John's street. At the same hour, or therea
bouts, the body of the murdered man was foond
lying in an unfrequented spot, and at a quarter to
ten, also,
the same wagon was driven into the
livery stable from which it was hired. This would
seam to fix en abbe upon the prisoner, but there
are many items of testimony which cannot be dis
regarded. An accurate chemical analysis has re
vealed the foot that the blood found upon the
cushions and floor of the vehicle was not the blood
of chickens, but probably that of a mammal.
The detective officers and the coroner have
paused neither day nor night to follow the traces
of the crime. They have visited every dwelling
in the Neck, and aro certain that no chickens were
stolen or sold from any premises on the night of
the murder. Advertisements have appeared ask
ing the appearance of the man and woman with
the chickens. They seem to have no existence.
That young Armstrong hae pilfered his employer
of yarn there can be no question and those, the
crimes of perjury and theft lie already at
his door. We have, then, this young man,
whose previous came; has said to have inspired
his friends with fear, engaged at a dark and
mysterious hour, In a lonely ride over unfre
quented roads for no acknowledged purpose.
He returns the wagon with human blood upon
the cushions and floor to the livery keener, at or
near the time of the tragedy's transaction. At or
near the same time, a wagon of like description,
with en animal of similar size, is seen passing
along St. John street, and the gee-light streams
upon the bald head of a struggling man. Cries of
murder atheist the attention of pedestrians; they
follow the murderers, and a whip spurs the horse
into swiftness ; it turns a corner, and is driven off
into the darkness. Moreover, young Armstrong
passes a $5 gold-piece upon a tradesman the day
after the crime, and swears that he gave the trades
man a bank-note. The murdered man's missing
money was all in gold, of a like denomination.
Young Armstrong had been at the dwelling of
the murdered man on the day of the crime, and
sold him a quantity of yarn, and probably en
gaged to sell him another lot, on the night of the
tragedy. Another item of evidence, said to be of
startling significance, is to be developed at the
coroner's investigation to-day. What it is is not
definitely known. Gossip has stated that another
of the gold pieces has been traced to Armstrong;
that on his clothing wad found blood ; that his ace
oomplices have been arrested. Whether either or
all of these rumors are true, we do notimow. Two
men are already in confinement, supposed to be the
parties who ran from the place of the finding of
the body.
The prisoner 18 now in confinement at the Nine
teenth.ward station-house, where the jury meet
to-day at five o'clock. He gives way at times to
the most agonizing tears; his friends are dis
tracted upon the tinkled of his seeming guilt; and,
altogether, the 008 a is the most mysterious, horri
ble, and wild of any we have ever transcribed.
DEMOCRATIC IVIHETING IN THE FIRST CON-
Gym RMISAL DISTUICe.—On Saturday evening, a
masa meeting of the Demooraoy of the First Con.
gressional distriet was hold at the corner of Fifth
and Shippeu streets
Col. Win. Bradford, member of Select Council
from the Seventh ward, presided, assisted by
forty-six vice presidents and seventeen secreta
ries.
The following resolutions were read, and adopted
with groat enthusiasm :
itmleed, That the Democracy of the First COTl
greesional district have never faltered In their devo
tion to toe principles of civil and religions liberty, and
thar they will ding to tee Union. and defend tin
tecrity against the assaults of every fee.
Itevared. That one candidate for governor, General
Honey D. Foster, of Weytmoreland, is entitled to the
support of every conservative man on the State, and by
his devotion to the interests of Pennsylvania and the
Union, has proved himself to be a sound Democrat and
Batman( man.
Eesolvid, That our candidate fur Congress. William
E. Lehman, is Loth honest and capable. He will serve
the district with fidelity, and septet every measure eat
cuillOttiPiellfibalhieiticreaestennigrTeinkoafe;hgeinTg.,
Samuel 4. Randall, has heretofore faithfully repre
sented hie constituents in the State Legislators, and
thereby secured the esteem and oonfideeoe of the peo
ple.
Itr , olred, That we will give our cordial sup:sent° the
whole city ticket, and roll up it handsome majority for
Laughlin. Wunder, Latta, and Lowry.
After the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. J. R.
Cox Inede a abort address, upon the conclusion of
which, Mr. Win. E. Lehman, candidate for Con
gress In the First district, was introduced. Mr. L.
spoke of the action of the Convention which nad
done him the honor to name him as a candidate
for Congress, as one composed of men xepreeenting
all Theses of the party; it wee not a bought Con
vention. And if it had mentioned any other gen
tleman he would have given him his hearty sup
s port. But as they had seen proper to nominate
him, and he had hie credentials, he, under a sense
of his duty to the party, accepted the standard.
Ile had never lest his confidence in the' present
contest Much had been said about New Peek mO
- being need to buy voters in the distrietebut he
felt satisfied that they could not effect anything in
this way [Applause. I
He submitted his cause to the people of the die
trial, confidant' that they would elect the whole
ticket.
The speaker then referred to his opponents. Of
Mr. Butler he knew nothing except what was
good, and if this was not the ease, it would not bo
necessary to any anything on the present occasion.
Judge King was a man of whom he did know some
thing. He had the honor to serve under him when
ho was a judge on the bench, and he knew he wis
competent to represent the dietriot. Besides this,
ho stood upon a plc form upon which all before
him could stand. Who was opposed to the Union,
the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws ?
If he. tho speaker, should be cleated, he promised
never to cast n vote tending to jeor ardize the
Union or the Constitution, or to Interfere with the
enforcement of the laws.'Applause.)
Bon. Henry. D. Foster, at this point, was driven
to the ground, and his appearance was the signal
for the wildest enthusiasm. Mr. Foster, who was
extremely hoarse, endeavored to addrees the mul
titude, but his voice failed him. This he excused
by stating that he had Just come from Norristown,
at which place he had witnessed ouch a gathering
of the Democracy as was seldom seen. From the
disposition, and harmony, and zeal manifested
throughout the State, there could not, he said, be
a doubt that on tho second Tuesday of Ootober the
Demooracy would again celebrate a great victory.
fie could say no more, as he had to take the
train on his way home to the west, where he had
numerous engagements to fulfil.
Mr. Lewis C Cassidy won next called upon,
and he responded in a very able sad eloquent ad
dress.
Speeches were also wedle by several other gentle
men, after which the meeting adjourned, wish pro.
longed °hoots for the success of the whole ticket.

largo and enthuslastio meeting of the Republioarts

f w i
0110
ed nan intereeting argument of nearly an
hour. General J. K. Moorehead, of Pittsburg,

labor and the rights of laboring men,' and how lit•
tio they wore inclined to amid their rights. He
alluded to the tariff queetion in the last Congress,
and explained how the Morrill bill wee defeated,
and ridiculed the pretetsione of the Democracy to

plauded.
