Wicrzni.s.s, , It has pleased God in His un
erring wisdom, to' take unto himself his
friend - and sevvat,:thelieloVed President
of thisAssoolation, Matthew Newkirk,
Resolved, That while we cannot have but
a keen sense of Dies in being deprived' of
such an efficient, careful and thorough
helper, especially at•tbis point in the
Sab
bath School history of the State, we yet
bow in humble reverence to the Divine
'
Resolved, That we cherish the example
of our departed brother in his unaffected
piety, true gentleness, simplicity and puri
ty of Christian chamicterf in his untiring
activity in the. Christian life; in his tender
love for little children; in his abounding
hospitality to all frieuds.of Christ without
distinction, and unstinted liberality in the
transaction of the Sunday Schoolwork.
Resolved, That cherishing his good.name
as a precious legacy, we will, God helping,
go forward in the work which, for more
than half a century, he gave himself with
such unselfish devotion. • '
Resolved, That we tender to the widow
and relatives of our beloved brother, de-
ceased, our loving sympathy, and pray that
the consolation of Christ may be abund
antly administered to them in this hour of
their trial • .
Pending the adoption of the resolutions,
feeling tributes were pad to the memory
and character of the deceased by Rev. Dr.
Howard,. , Rev. t3coveL.Hon.- B. Rush
Bradford, the President, and Others; aftet
which the resolutions were adopted unani
motutly. • .
Rev. Alfred Taylor, State Secretary, then
gave practical illustrations of blackboard'
teachinkin which he was followed by Rev.
Mr. Pei
i •
Amotion was made that the question of
printing the proceedings of the Convention
be referred to a special committee, with in
' structions to report at the afternoon ses
sion.
The chairman announced that the next
business in order was the selection of a
place for holding the next session of the
Convention.. '
Invitations were tendered from Wil-
btunsport and Harrisburg. Upon a 'vote
being taken Williamsport, Lycoming
county, was selected, the time being left to
be fixed by the Executive Conimittee, and
:the Sunday School Teachers' Institute of
• Williamsport. t
Mr. Cummings, of Philadelphia, offered
a series of resolutions, referring to the pro
gress now making in the Sunday School
work, and urging the organization of
County Associabonsas one great aid in fur
thering the cause. The, resolutions were
laid over for farther consideration, and the
Convention adjourned until half-past two
_ o'clock p. m.
The ; exercises were opened at the ap
pointed tour by singing the hymn com
mencing,
"I love thy kingdom, Lord,"
followed with prayer by Rev. Shadrach
• After ,the singing of another hymn, the
chairman introduced Prof. Osborn, of
Easton, who presented his theoiy of teach
ing sac red geography, "so as to instruct and
' to plea Se." A large map of the Holy Land,
prepared by the Professor, who has travel
ed extensively in that eountiy was hung
on the wall behind the pulpit, of which
frequent use was made to elucidate his
method. Thetvddress was replete with
happy illustrations and instructive sugges
• - tions, and was listened to with marked at
• tention. At its close a number of questions
were • asked by . persons in the audience
whci desired fuller information of the geog
raphy of the country.
The convention then engaged in singing
a hymn, after which Rev. S. B. Barnitz, of
Wheeling, delivered an address on the sub
, ' ject of Teachers' meetings, in which he
said that the most esssntial requisite out
side of earnest prayer, for s successful
teachers' meeting, was to have all the teach
era impressed with the fact of their own per
sonal interest in the matter. Sing one or
two, verses of a lively hymn, have short,
fervent prayers and let each teacher come
• - prepared to en gage earnestly in the exer
, cities, and the meeting could not fail to be,
beth very pleasant, and very profitable.
In answer to a communication "it was an. ?
nounced that the ever liberal. Pennsylvania
Railroad Company had made half-fate ar
rangements for the convenience of those
• persons on their line who wished to attend
the convention.

EVENING SESSION
•The evening session commenced about
8 o'clock. The attendance was much lar
ger than- at any - of the previous sessions,-
and thti proceedings are attracting more
attention as the Convention progresses.
Devotional exercises were first in order,
Dr. Bull bf Allegheny leading in prayer.
The following additional Vice Presidents
were appointed: Rev. A. B. Miller, Way
nesburg, Greene county. Rev. A. D. Hare,
Uniontown, Fayette county. - -
Theodore E. Perkins, of 'New York, a
distinguished composer of music, address
ed the Convention on the subject of Sab
bath School singing. bfr.Perkins in a few
brief and pointed remarks, gave his theory
of teaching children to sing, showing ,that
the two most important pdints on which
they should be instructed were pronounci
ation and time. In arswer to the question
"What shall we sing?" he read a beautiful
selection from the New York Musical Mir
, ror, which advised :the, singing of every
.thing that was good and befitting the place.
" Sing any way, every way, so that. souls
are brought to Jesus.. Sing anything if
only we may clasp our children on the`
'Golden Strand' by. and by—by and by;".
He then requested the audience to consider
themselves as a large singing school and.
proceeded to give them a few lessons in
music commingled with explanations and
the singing of some - delightful Sunday
Sch Fol songs.
This part of the exercises ;was etceeding
ly interesting and was apparently highly
enjoyed. by all present.
Rev. Wylie said he - believed unfinished
business was always in order, and he would
therefore bring forward the matter of rais
ing the funds in accordance with the report
of the Finance Committee, which had been
rendered at the afternoon session, and part
of the money subscribed. •
The following additional subscriptions
were received : •
Mrs. E.F. Denny - 8100 00
Rev. Thos. Johnson 100 00
Westmoreland S.S. Associiition. 109 00
Rev. Mr. Peitz (Chairman) 11)0 00
Christ M. E. Church 100 00
Sixth Presbyterian Church 50 00
Louis G. Vale, Philadelphia 50 00
Lawrence County • 225 00
The subscription slip being passed round
quite a number were received, increasing
the aggregate amount of the evening's sub
scription to 01,300, which, added to the 8700
. received in the afternoon, made the total
amount received 82,000.
The Question Box was then opened and
Answers - to the queatiOns given - by Rev.
Alfred Taylor. - Some of the questions were
more humorous than profitable, and occa
sioned great merriment; 'while others de-
Iveloped considerable thought. r
This was the closing exercise of the even
ing and the Convention adjourned to meet
at 9 o'clock this morning.

Geyer and Fleming had received the high
est number of votes and were, therefore,

The Committee on Resolutions -here ap
peared, and through their chairman, Mr.
Jennings, submitted the following, report :
Resolved, That in presenting the name of
Thomas Williams again to the Republican
voters of the 23d District, the people of Al
legheny county only , recognize the vital
importance of obtaining a welt-tried and
faithfulrepresentative, whose ditinguished
position and services have given to him a
national reputation, while they have re
flected honor on the choice of the pbople by
whom he was chosen.
.Resolved, That in looking to the difficulty
of commanding at any time the combined
ability, integrity, experience and influence
so desirable in a representative, we would
regard the withdrawal of such a man as Mr.
Williams from the councils of the nation,
at such a time as this, only to give place to
a pew and 'untried successor, as not only a
great Wunder, but a serious loss as'well to
the general public service, as to 'the _great
Republican District whose credit has been,
so well sustained by •
Resolved; - That w ot recognizing the
propriety of any reference to county lines,
and disclaiming any pretensions • on the
score of population, or even the proportion
of the great Republican majority of the,
district, which is furnished by themselves
as considerations which cannot properly
enter into a question when superior fitness ,
for the place is the only legitimate test,
they feel warranted in the assurance that
the mere accidental ; ocation of the candi
date will not.be allowed to deprive the dis 7
tract of the sertilci3s 'of '6 , -lieprftsteritative,
whose superior qualificationtrare so well
known and so, fully recognized in every
part of the district, and whose reputation
is as much the property of one county as
another. - 2
Resolved, That we heartily approve of the
platform adopted by the National Conven
tion at Chicago.
.Resolved, That in the nominees of said
ConventiOn-:-Gen. Grant for President and
Schuyler Colfax for Vice President—we
have good and reliable men, to whom *e
pledge the support of the 'Union Republi
can party of this district.

—The Crowning of ' the (Leech of Love
and Beauty. •
Under the auspices and management of a
number of our most intelligent and leading
colored citizens, there was held yesterday in
this neighborhood a: second 'grand annual
tournament. The occasion had long been
the theme of conversation in the fashiona
ble circles of our large and respected ele
of colored populatioh, and most ac

/
spirited ere gaily and caparisoned for
the mimic ar na of conflict, formed a pa
geantry of magnificentcharacter. On ar
riving at the Park, where a large number
of ladies and gents, both white and colored,
hadussembled, the Knights dashed around
the arena several times, giving ample evi
dence of their superior equestrian abilities
and attainments. The judges having taken
their places the following knights were en
tered for the contest :
1. Knight of LMiGity—Gco. Anderson.
2. Knight of Balt im ore — Hobert Stevenson.

Acting Cal:den—Wm. Chatinan.
Judges—Groom McKnight, Steele Jackson.
The tournament was very brilliant, and
all the gallant Knights displayed unusual
dexterity in handling the spear and send
ing it home through the treacherous rings.
Al times the enthusiasm of the vast con
gregation of ladies and gents assembled
was intense, especially when evoked by
some brilliant deed of daring on the part
of any of the Knights.
The decision was awarded to the victo
rious knight Sir Scott Taper who had the
exquisite pleasure of crowning Miss Maiy
Arnet as Queen of Love and Beauty. Sir
John Bell came next in order and selected
Miss Pulpress, a graceful and pretty maid
en, as First Maid of Honor. - Sir George
Anderson was third on the list and selected,
Miss Mary Lovett as Second Maid of Honor,
a choice which showed his good taste and
judgment. 'Sir Henry Worthington and
Miss Maggie Cole as Third Maid of
Honor, another excellent choice, • The pro
cession then reformed, and the entire party
came tothe city and after supper repaired
to City Hall, where a grand promenade and
and festival was held. In the early
part of the evening Prof. S. A. Neale, of
Avery College, one of our most gifted and
learned colored citizens, crowned the Queen
of Love and Beauty, and delivered a very
eloquent and beautiful address pertinent
to the occasion. The remaining portion of
the evening was spent in general enjoy
ment, tete-a-tetes and social conversation
and promenadesi and, all retired highly
elated with the success of the tournament.
The affair reflected much credit to our
colored people, and was marked with that
order and.decorum which is so often want
ing in the festive occasions of the paler
portions of our community.

Imposition by Mattoon.
Monday - evening a gentleman came to
the city on the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
and, desiring to leave the next morning on
the Washington stage, inquired for Hare's
Hotel. Ed. Medan, a hackman, hearing
the inquiry, proposed to take him to the
hotel in a carriage. The gentleman re
fused to take a carriage, and finally went
to the St. Lawrence Hotel and took lodg
ing for the night. He was aroused the
next morning at four o'clock by Medan,
who informed him if he desired to go on
the morning stage he would have to be in
a hurry, as it would start- in a. few min
utes. The gentleman got up, and thinking
he would not have time to walk to the
hotel in time to take the coach, was in
duced to ride in Medan's carriage. He
got in and was taken down Penn street to
an alley near the Point, when the carriage
was stopped and Medan ordered him to get
out, telling him he was at the hotel. On
getting out of the carriage Medan demand
ed three dollars, which he refused to pay.
After some parlying -he was forced to
two dollars, and Medan was insisting upon
the payment of the other dollar when a
policeman came along, and, 'at the request
of the stranger, arrested the hackman, who
offered to pay all the money back if they
would lot him go. His bid ,was noj ac
cepted, howeveri and be was 'taken t the
Mayor's office, where, after a hearing, he
was fined five - dollars and 'costs, 'and re
quired to refund one dollar and fifty cents
of the money. I
Yesterday a similar ease' occurred, in
which Jas. M'Cord was the shark. A Mr.
Broadwater and his wife, from Maryland,
arrived in the city on the Connellsville
Itailroad, en route for the West, at ten
o'clock. Desiring to go to Union Depot; he
was prevailed upon by M'Cord to take a
carriage. On arriving at Union Depot:the
shark demanded two dollars, and by means'
of threats obtained it. Mr. B. , was not sat
isfied with the charge, and made com
plaint before the Mayor, who issued a war
rant for the arrest of .M'Cord,. and after a
hearing, required him to refund one dol
lar, when he was discharged upon payment
of the costs.
We are at a loss to know why the ordi
nance requiring all hackmen to keep a card'
• -with a list of charges upon it posted in the
hacks is not enforced ? The cards have
been printed, but we have never yet seen
one inside of a hack or carriage. If there is
any reason why this ordinance should not
be enforced, it is the duty of the Mayor to
make it known to Councils, and have it re
pealed. Will the proper committee inves
tigate the matter? The Mayor informs us
that he will impose a fine in every in
stance brought before him of imposition by
hackmen, but a strict enforcement of the
ordinance would prevent impositions, and
also the necessity of imposing fines.
A woman giving her name as Mrs. Mary
Spasher, of rather respectable appearance,
and tolerably well dressed; came to the
Mayor's office, on Tuesday evening, and
asked to be conducted to the depot. Her
strange and excited manner attracted atten-,
tion, and upon further• inquiry she stated
that she came from New York and desired
to go to Chicago where her husband, who is
a fur dresser, resides. It was evident from
her manner that she was laboring under
an attack of maniapotu, and she was taken
In charge by an officer and locked np.
During the evening she became more vio
lent in her demonstrations, and seemed to
be In constant dread of persons who, she
said, were all around her and threatening
her with punishment for some crime. She
fancied there was a dead woman in the cell
with her t and protested that she was mot the
murderess. Yesterday morning she was
worse than ever, and was sent, by Mr. For
tune to Mercy Hospital. The Mayor has
telegraphed to New York and Chicago to
see if her friends can be found.
Select Social Picnic.—We notice with
pleasure that a Select Social Picnic will be
held at McFarland's Grove on the 16th of
this month.- The committee of arrange
ments are • gentlemen well and favorably
known, and the same that conducted the
Charity Ball held in February, which gave
such general satisfaction. From the very
liberal arrangements now being made for
the Picnic, and the popularity of its Mana
gers, we predict for it that success which
liberal management deserves.
Illicit Dlstillery.—Edward Frazier was
on Tuesday arrested at his residence in
Anandale, Butler county,_on a charge of
illicit distilling made on the oath of the
Inspector of Internal Revenue, for the 23d
district. He had a kearing . yesterdav af
ternoon before U. S. Commissioner Ganible,
and was held in the sum of two thousand
dollars to answer the charge at the August
term of the United States Court. .
Larceny of Braink—John Thornton made
information before Alderman Taylor, sev
eral days since, charging Michael. Kennedy
with larceny. He alleged that the accused
did_ ake;
,ateal and carry away , a lot 01 brass
scraps from a flat in the Allegheny river.
A warrant was:issued, but the officers did
not succeed in getting hold of Michael un
til yesterday, when he was committed to
jail in default of bail for, a hearing.
torrection,—ln. Wednesday's Gsvxrpz
we published an item in - which we stated
that Mr. D. R. Eckers had been knocked
down in a political discussion.. This was a
mistake. ' That 4imtleruen aria of our
most esteemed and ieSpectablecitizens, and

falsely reported to us, and we make, this
correction ont'ajustice and on onrown mo
