Tleket N o m inated .
. , _
The County Convention of the unwashe d
and imterrified Democracy--of Allegheny
county, was held yesterday in Lafayette
, .
Hall in' Order to nomtoate amdidates for
,
the county offices, and to - place in the - field
an aspirant for Congressional honors. The
attendance was 11111,. nearly ever,' district
,
in the county being represented by dele
,
The Convention was called to order short
ly after' ten o'clock by Thomas S. Keenan,
Hai., Chairman of the Cqunty , gxecutive
Committee, after which D. Himblvight, of
Collins, Williamßeardon of Lawrence
'ville, J. W. Patterson, of Halt , Birmingham,
and C. B..Strain t of the Third ward, Pitts
burgh, were appointed Secretaries. - ,
On assuming the Chair, Mr. Keenan fired
the hearts •of his hearers by painting in
brilliant colors the chances of the Democ
racy to gain victory in the contest to be
waged at the polls.
Mr. J. R. Hunter moved that Thomas J.
Keenan, Esq., be elected permanent Chair
man. The motion wasimanimouslr adop-
The temporary Secretaries were on
motion continued as permanent Secretaries.
The permanent organization was completed
- by the election of a number of Vice Presi
deot
J:
S.
/ Ha l ey,
of Allegheny, moved that a
Committee of five be appointed on con
tested seats. Adopted. ,
Mr. W. Stewart moved that a Committee
of five be appointed to draft resolutions.
Mr. John Sawyer - moved that the Com
mittee consist of ten members.
As neither 6f the triotiofiswere seconded,
Col. J. H. Kerr stated that Hon. Wm. A.
Wallace, Chairman of the State Executive
ComMittee, was present, and he moved
that the gentleman be requested to' address
the Convention. The motion was adopted
with considerable enthusiasm. -
Hon. Mr. Wallace was then introduced to
the Convention by the Chairman, and was
received by three cheers (proposed by a
delegate,) as. the . !!man ; who carried the
State at the last election." He stated that
he was present not to make an address, but
rather to give some information in regard
1p the 'plan of operations to be pursued in
lhe approaching campaign, and to the ne
cessity of every individual member .off the
party taking part in the contest. He re
ferred to the iliscouragements which had
heretofore been met; bat hoped that in the
ensuing campaign a more determined op
position than ever will be made. He claim
edthatTeimsylVania wag a pivotal State,
and in the coming election the contest
-would be a - hand' to hand fight. In the
past' thi State alwaYs voted in Noveniber as
she had-voted in October. 'The contest
would therefore be decided at the middy
and Congreesional election, and the grand
element of success was thorough organiza
tion in every district.,"
_ Upon the comical= of the gentleman's
remarks Alderman Strain moved that the
Convention now adjourn until July 16th,
A delegate moved' as an imendmept that
the Convention proceed to nominate a Coun
ty ticket.-
Pending the vote on the amendment, Mr.
James Irwin asked and obtained leave to
read a letter from Col. Thomas A. Scott,
Vice President of the Pennsylvania Bait
road Company, announcing._ that arrange
ments have been made for the selling of ex
cursion' tickets _to New York, so that all
who desire may have an opportunity of at
tending the convention.
A motion was then made today the mo
tion for adjourning and the amendment
thereto on the table, which motion pre
vailed.
A scene of: noise and confusion ensued,
and the delegates friendly to adjournment
commenced vigorously to buttenhole their
neighbors and impress them with the fact
that delays were not always attended with
danger.
Mr. Uzzlah Stewart renewed his motion
for the appointment of a Committee on
Resolutions. The motion did not appear
to be seconded, and a delegate moved that
the vote laying the motion for adjournment
on the table be reconsidered.
W. D. Moore, Esq., seconded the motion,
and desired to explain his reason therefor.
He stated that his great desire was that
victory should be secured at the next elec
tion. There were conflicting questions now
being agitated in the party which are to be
harmonized, and there are movements on
foot looking toward the concentration of all
the opposition to the Republican party in
the country. He was not advised in regard
to these movements, but he thonght, how
ever, that it would be advisable to adjourn.
He wanted the Allegheny county Demon-
racy.to start on the , proper 'platform. The
National Convet tion will meet in New
York in July, and would make nomina
tions and adept a platform for the party.
if the business of the Convention was pro
ceeded with, some action might be taken
that would not accord with the action of the
National Convention, and he did not desire
to have anything to take back.
Mr. Guthrie interrupted Mr. Moore sev
eral times, and asserted his determination
to keep the gentlemen in Order if the; ltEO-
man failed to do so. - - '
A country' delegatethought the adjourn=
meat would be , injustice to the delegates
from the country districts.. They•had been
brought in to attend to business today, and
it would be too mach to ask them to come
again in Juiv when they were busy gather
ing their crops.

dance' during the last few years; it - has
. .
beteidecided•to erect a new one to take' its
Place. The new building will be, perfect
in all its :departments, -:and capable
of fully., meeting all the demands
upon it for some time to come.
The well known architects, Bair &Moser,
having, een employed to drawup the plan,
have•presented the specification 4 of a hand
some and imposing edifice, which, when,
finished, will be an ornament to our slater
city, and one of the largest and ,most com
plete educational . institutional West of the
mountains. Thelocatian•is on the corner
Of Fulton and Page streets; and the founda
lions have alreadY been commenced, and
are being.nushed forward rapidly.
Aocordingto the sp.ecifications the strue
tuie will be built of bricks,three stories
high; (exclusive' Of the asement story
which is seven feet above ground,) front
ing on Page street one hundred and thirty
five feet, and running back Rfty-tievenfeet
along Fulton street. Rising, on each side of
the main entrance on Page., street, will be a
tower, one htmdred and twelve feet high
from base to dome in one of which the
school bell will be placed and in the iithei
a large time-piece, . which will be a great
convenience to the
. citizens in the neigh
borhciod. • ' . '
On the roof directly over the entrance on
Page street, will be a large gilded globe, all
the windows will be arched over, and faced
with the finest .diessed stone., All the
facings on the exterior walls, and cappings
of the' chinineys '
will be of the same
material, , and the windows will have in.
aide shutters throughout. s
Commencing at the Fulton street en
trance, over which there willbe a neat por
tico,
a wide hull will run directly through
the building; parallel:With _Page streeton
tersected at right angles by two other halls
commencing at the,Page street front and
running the length of the building to the
rear walls.! ;. •
The basement' `story will be divided into
ton rooms, the and second . stories into
six rooms each, with the halls correspond
ing with those below, while the third story
is to be fitted up as a large hall for the use
of the schoid at public entertainments, ex
aininic ions, ito.
The whole building will he . surrounded
with a yard twenty-five feet'' wide, en
closed by a substantial iron railing. The
estimated cost otthe , structure Is 860,606,
including the furniture, but we are-per
suaded, that it will go over. rather than
under that figure. . •
The contract .is in the bands of Messrs.
Trimble, Mclntyre & Co;, l which - is a suffi
cient guarantee that the. work will be prop
erly done. Messrs. Altvater & Co., the
builders of the. stone work of the Bank of
Commerce, have charge of the similar
work of this building. The contractors ex
pect to have part of the house ready for
occupancy by December Ist. 1868, but it
will not be finished entire until April
'lst, 1868.

The next cue-taken up was that of John

.:This was , an

purchased, at the drugstore - of the defend
ant, upon a prescription given bY*Br. Wel.;
ter, nitro inuriatie acidi which was placed
in a bottle. Plaintiff alleges that the bottle
was insecurely corked, but being ignoiant
of the nature of the contents, he placed it
in-1 is pocket. While walking home gas

eyes, destroying the • sight of one and in - -
