When McGann took the money he said

Joseph Kolback, a resident of Allegheny.
testified that he was in the wagon on the '
night mentioned, and-Kelly got in when he - 1
got out. McGann and Devine were in the
wagon. He thought Kelly and the others i
a little drunk..' -
' This closed the testimony for the Nose .,eution.
ma For the defense officer Roger O'Mah• tes
tified that on the night in question he saw
Kelly at the Rush House, and heard him
.say that he had been overcharged by the
defendants, but heard nothing whatever of
having been robbed. There were several
parties talking to him, and witness said but
Alittle to him. Witness did not know
whether Kelly knew that he was an officer
..or not. Brightmore was in the crowd, but
whether Kelly saw him or not witness
could not say : .
Officer Daniel Grover testified that he is'
anofficer stationed at the Rush House; beard
defendant complaining of being overcharg.
ed; asked him, what was the matter, and
was told that the three men had charged
-him three dollars, which was all the money
he had, except eighteen cents. Did not get
the impression that he had been -robbed.
Did not hear Kelly tell Mr. Robling he had
been robbed.
Lieutenant Seth Wilmot testified that on
the morning of the
.24th he saw Kelly at the
Mayor's office._He said he had beenrobbed
of $l5. Then e said he had been sobbed
•Of $55. FinMly he said $65 had been stolen

toxicated.
James Archibald testified that he saw
Kelly in the Rush House, on the morning in
q i i3stion; andhe complained of extortion by
, f defendants. - - - .-
rs. Fannyl4olnm' testified that' - Kelly
was brought to hertibuse on the night men

Did not say anything about being robbed.

and McGann.

Mary Kauffman' was sworn and cOrroba
rated tho testimony of Mrs. Splane.

O'Mara and Grover had done.
Xo further tilathmny was addneeli.
At the request of the prosecuting counsel
Brigfftmore was discharged, and Devifie
and McGann were held for a further hear
-Invr,' SAturday riffernoon at three o'clock.
After the hearfni James Brightmore,
one of the defendants, made information
charging I B..X.elly_iwith.,perjury. ; The
case was held over for a hearing. •
be •robserved - brthe - evidence - of
-the onlk.testifies•Tto
-the fact that he was robbed. bat also iden
tified the man who...eoflatniteed the rob
bery, and his
' - ticdoenplice,x. State
ment corresponds precisely with that made
under oath ;before depfity - ..Maxor Owston.
In seltral'itnykirtaiit points he is filly cor
rp
_bonded by N. M. Kobling, who swears
4dutS.he saw Kelly get into the Wagon - with
the, accused, sum that he next saw him at'
Abe Kush Ho use, where ho heard him say he
had been robbed. He is also corroborated ,
in put hy the testimony of
Joseph Kol
iblitaktc:Ao .4154918 that he Molback) Wait'
in the wagon, and saw Kelly get in, aftei
which he got ( Kolbrick) out. -
The testimony on the part of the defence
is, to make the most of inerely.of a. l i e _
--gative character, and of that -kind; which,.
rp i3 0 :045 ,4 at a u, should .he omisidered by
a jury, 'ori the Of the case. There is
however, not a single fact - proven-by the
defendants. which does not in some point,

testimony of the zosetmthr. The only

and this Kelly;lainnielf -states. The testi
mony of Grover and Archibald establishes
nothing more. The testimony cif-officer
Wilmot does not establish any fact, as it.
is merely a statement of a conyereation had
with the witne. - Fanny. Sprafie; occupant
of 'the house where Kelly , was taken, cor
roborates his statement' in several impor
tant points and does not contradict him in
anything material. She says . that Kelly
came to her house with Devine and
Gann, that he Vas left , there' bb them and
remained some time, stating that MI was
afraid to go out, to all of Which Kelly tes
tified.
. We have, perhaps, arced the case. But
since the Alderman has seen liroper to 'try
it, - we niav be allowed thtprivilege of going
outside of our strict duty and to assume
the rote of counsel, in justification of re
marks .heretofore made about the case..
We'.ieriously doubt the propriety of the
arrest of Kelly on a charge of perjury
before the larceny case has been decided.
It is, however, that the
_case is
decided So far as Brightmore, the proiecu
tor in the perjury case, is concerned, he
having been discharged.
The prosecutor is not, in a case of the
character in hand, responsible for the
names of parties included in an informa
tion. He states the facts to the magistrate,
who is supposed to have sufficient know
ledge of_thelaw to know what names to in
sert and what charge to make, having the
facts. The prosecutor swears to the facts
above and nothing mole. And in this case,
if - there is probable grounds for supposing
tvip — Of the parties guilty, the facts would,
Si Seems teens, justify the including of, the
third party as an accomplice.

In the Court of Quarter Sessions of Ve

Culver and James S. Austin, indicted for
conspiracy to defraud and embezzlement
of fifty thousand dollars worth of stock (on
special deposit) of the Tradesmen's Nation-
Al Bank of Pittsburgh, on oath of Dr. A. G.
Egbert, was called up. There appeared for
the prosecution Messrs. S. A. Purviance, F.
D. Kinnear and S. Griffith ; for the defend
ants, Messrs. Archibald Blakely, J. D.. Han
cock, W, V. Corbett and J. K. Kerr.
On motion of defendants' counsel the case
was postponed till August term, owing
to the non-attendance of an important wit
ness, and to the failure to procure by regu
lar.snlycena the books of the Petroleum
Bank, in the possession of the receiver of
that institution, F. W. Aims, Esq.
We had a reporter on hand to fully

disappointed our expectations. The case is

A (.rumbler.
SOme grumbler, signing himself "Char
ity;? has addressed a note to his Honor; the
Mayor,
relative tothe manner in which the
"Managers of the Methodist Graveyard; on•
Bedford street, are having the remains of
those buried there removed and reinterr
ed," He says "the workmen dig a trench,
and then collect the bones by the basketful
and then throw ..them into the, trench pro
miscuously. The boxes. containing the
remains of those recently buried are like
wise tumbled into the ditch in the same
Manner." He fnrther states that the work
of removing the bodies should be postponed
until cold weather, as the stench already
rising from the graveyard is "unbearable."
The Mayor would attend to the matter IM
mediately if he thought there .was any
truth 'in the statement, but as the writer of
,the note was ashamed to put his name to
it; he Is inclined to pay no: attention to it.
'He is right.

The Soldiers' -Monument.
The disapproval of the action of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Allegheny Coun
ty Soldiers' Monumental Association, in
selecting a lot in the Cemetery on which to
erect i the monument, has been so generally
expressed that it is hardly probable they
will now insist upon placing itthere. It is
not fair to presume that a Committee of la
dies and gentlemen composed of such high
toned moral persons as constitute this
Executive Committee will allow either a
feeling of pett sectional jealousy or self
interest to hi e so strong an - influence-on
their actions to lead them to do that
which has b _ n so generally objected to
and condemn dby the public. We are not
disposed.to lieve them so headstrong and
self-willed as o act not only independent
of public opi ion, : but, in direct opposition
to an alniost universal expression of it.
We have not eard a single person outside of
the Counnitie express an opinion favorable
to the erects n of the monument in the .
Cemetery, ankl we think there is not a man
or woman in, the county, not interested in
the CemeterY either directly or indi

WlFrom the London Bellew.)
There are lots of young men . with whom
the spending of money is a positive disease.
They . constantly demonstrate the truth of
the iamilliar proverb, There is a sort of
fatal profusion in their habits. Women are
accused very unfairly of being over extrav
agant. As a rule, men are far moreso; and
the account against them is principally
due to those who fritter everything they gain
or sell in numberless and nameless
A woman has a natural title to- being well
clad—t', being,
.indeed, clad so as to make
the most of her appearance. She has a sense
for jewelry. To deny her ornament's is to
stifle a genuine, and reasonable instinct.
But a man who parts with a considerable
portion of his income in order to comply
with every freak of his tailor, and who real
ly seems to have only used his brains upon
the patterns of neckties, is one of the most
pitiable creetures alive. A gentleman ought
to lie correctly and neatly dressed. There
is something revolting, as well as startiin , r, in
the style' in which the unfortunate London
cad turns out to air hirnself on the tops of om—
nibuses and on the penny steamboats on Sun
day. Still,' the extremes meet. The cad is
not, in all probability, a greater jackass
than the person he mimics. 4e is also ex
travagant in his own miserable Way. He
has given more than he can afford for his
flaring scarf with its horrible brass pin, his
embroidered shirt front, and all the rest of
his vile pharaphernalia. Extravagance is
not confined to a class. Some working
men spend proportionately as much in beer
houses and music halls as' those above them
do in Clubs and at the opera or theatre.
This is the name given to a new class of
houses to be erected in Paris with the ap
proval of the Emperor. The streets are to
be widened, and the houses , are to be made
very high. They - will be not less than ten
stories high, access to the upper ones being
afforded by lifts. Iron is to constitute the
framework of these vast edifices, which are
to rise to altitudes of from one hundred to a
hundred and twenty feet. I At the fifth
story there will be a terrace ten feet broad,
which forms a sort of base for the - "aero
dome" above, and the rooms on this terrace
can be occupied for stores, as is the story
next the' ground. The other 'parts of the
aerodomes may_ communicate iwith each
other by means of bridges thrown across
from terrace to terrace, and in this way there
would be two towns, one above the other;
a large amount of -eraffic will be carried on
without descending into the streets at all,
provisions, fuel, drc., being obtained by
means of the lifts. Each aerodome may be
inhabited by one thousand people and more,
ell enjoying commodious apartments, a
pure atmosphere, and , abundance of light,
while the streets below will be, wide and
airy. , •
WHATEVER may be the result of the
Southern electione, the Southern States
have for the first time been treated to he
novelty cf a free, untrammeled political
illscussion.. No restraints have been
placed upon the politicians or newspapers
so, far as the support of their party and can
didates have been concerned. They have
written and said what seemed best to them
from Florida to Arkansas, without fear of
Government restraint or popular violence.
Mob law, which, in fo er years, silenced
n
oppositio and controlled,; ectlons,has been
done away with, and the press and the peo
ple -now express their , opinions iwith im
punity, and free discussion prevails. If the
Southern whites are now suffering from
wrongs, this very freedom of thought and
speech will sooner or later right them, and
will at the same time insure protection for
the liberated bondmen. Free thought, free
speech, and a free press, will always secire
individual freedom.
CALIFORNIA is rapidly filling up with im
migrants from the Atlantic States. The ex
ceedingly low fares, caused by the competi
tion of the rival lines of steamers to Cali
fornia, it is said, are flooding San Francisco
with more people than can find employ
ment, and the newspapers of that city are
beginning to complain of the rapidly in
creasing surplus of population. They say
trade is dull, wages low and provisions high,
and that persons of limited means, who are
able to raise money to get out there,
find
themselves unable'to get back. They deny
also-that San-Francisco is any lonner a
"new country," in the_ sense of needing
fresh immigration.
TIIE Fremont (Iowa) Times says : The
grasshoppers have hatched out thicker than
ever. The ground froze , solid last winter
with no snow, but they hatched. The prair
ies were burned over, but they warmed
themselves by the fire, and came out healthy.
It rained-and they lookedrefreshed. Wed
nesday right 'we 'had a snow storm that
would have killed. any common critter, and
Thursday morning we saw the little cusses
pelting each - other with' snow balls. Like
Daniel Webster, they Faint dead yet.
