After the review of the procesSion of the
Schutzenfest, at Union Square, by
_Mayor
Hoffman, the aongiessiorial Committee
and others, the line" of march was con
tinued to the , foot "'of 'Eighth stieet,
whence a flotilla of steamers and barges
carried the excursionists _to Jones'
Wood, where they landed amidst the
cheers of, the multitude. ," A salute 'ot
twenty-one guns was fired inhonor of the
occasion. tk grand banquet was given in
Fest Hall. Gov. Fenton was unable to be
present, and the chair was taken by the
President of tho Schutzenfest. - Many toasts
were given, and speeches made. General
• Sigel, Hon. N. B. 'Judd. of Illinois, Lieut.
Gov. Woodford, of New-York, Mayor Hoff
man, Baron Gerett, thefforthGerman Ant
basitador, John Hibe, Swiss Conrail Generals
andlot herb 'were among the speakers.
- The following ib the speech of Represent
ative 'Judd before the Schutzenfest
Aernotrit :
Mr. Prestdmite-It is generally believed
that an American is always' ready to re
spond to the toast von have assigned : tae.
And why should he not be, seeing every
'day around him evidence of prosperity .
and freedom. seeing labor 'rewarded and
industry. nauseate:l, . restrained only, ;by
laws far the general welfare, not made
in the interest, ..Qf - chews, ; free f - to
share en all henors civil and pOliti-
Cal, the only qualifications ; .being thir
.talent and integrity necessary "to flit pub
lic
position. Isoquestions are asked as to
the place of birth.- I ask agatent whYshould
not the possessor of mob righterand prey'.
legeshave his heart tilled with thanks and
be ready to speak in praise ye such a coun
try, 'with such institutions. The United .
States, by their laws, invite the people of
all lands to share in their benefit, and say
to all, there:is room 'enough to spare.
Bounteous nature yields golden rewards to
the thrifty. The dovernment tenders to all
a home without money, without price, and
protects each one in the possession of such
homestead. 'lf trained , * bther industry
than the cultivelon of the soil, there is
work and plenty ihr all. Ingenuity and
industry are sure of their reward. The
citizens are the government. They *tett
themselves. That silent - talisman, the
ballot-box, rights all wrongs, and
administrators' of the Government,
becoming tyrannical. are hurled from
place, • and power 'reverts to the
people's will. Revell:lions by the bal
lot occur annnally--quiet, peaceable, effea:
Mal. No 'hereditary prteileges give to
special classes the nghtto live on the toil
of others. Accidentsief birth do not create
azuter. The laws and jnaticesaille squall ••
upon the poor man's mange and the rich
man's home. For whatever inequalities of
pesitiononfortune may exist bit
institutionshla coun
try, its - laws and are' not re
eponsiblo. Our inequalities are the result
of brain and industry. .They - make man
hood its .own master and master' of
,its situation. Are not these things
illustrated in this almost numberless gath
ering of the'uneueit of Creepier' on tine oo
easion't. Born trifOrelgelands, ran 'have
seughthataes in this iMpublie amehera to
blingtack - fontreetamembritmseritifillite
.land of yodr birth and the halite "Of :coin;
fathers in the land of, William Tell. Your
organization and the Sraiping it gave :
°eery man ha.= enabled the Republie
other side of the ocean, Switserlasi
eist the encroachment of despot em,
while the citizens, trained from childhood
to manly sports and the use of
amps, aided by: her. mountain fortresses,
are still free. The story- of William Tell,
so gracefully illustrated in your procession
to-day, has keen studied , by every Ameri
can child. The struggles against despot
ism called for such organization in other
countries, and the kindred race of freedom..
loving ermans adopted it. Yon have
brought it to our shores and we hail its ad
vent as of national importance, in training
all the manly arts which prepare men to
defend their liberties. Organization is
power, and this assoneblage is more than a
past.ime. Its purposes,aervices and effects
are goodfor the Republic. The manners,
customs and habits of childhood and youth
become almost part of nature. They, fol
low the man to his home in foreign hinds,
and their proper indulgence is the right of
'freemen. - Becoming a pith •n, he mingles
with the native-born in the pursuit of Wet
ness or pleasure, and the manners, habits
antrenstorns of each operate upon the other,
tending to aoften, invigorate, consolidate,
and out of all to form a nationality whose
perfect development is found in the union
of the people of different lands. From this
. mingling :is aupidly being developed on
this continent the completest type of the
Physical men and the best trained intellect:
also a government more free and stable than
has heretofore been given to man: All this
depends upon the citizen hinuelf,Mid as he
exercises his privileges so will it result in
the development named or in the degener
acy of the people. I do not 'oVerlook the
existence in other lands of physical devel
opment and intellectual cultstre in their
highest culture; but these belong to privi
leged classes. hino land` but ours are
these within the , mach of the masses
of the , people. Believing that , this
national assemblage, has higher and
and nobler purposes than mare
pastime, and that it was the duty of the
government to encourage the ouftivation
of that which in its hour of trial may be
found by freemen familiar with the use of
arms, I asked the Rouse of Representative;
to accept your invitation. lkly colleaguee
and , myself are with you on this occasion
as the Representatives of a part of the law
making power of this government t the
House of Representatives of the United
States. Not as foreigners, or foreign born,
are you:assembled to-dayetelt.nri American
eitizens.engaged in organizing and develop
ing power for futetre turefulneea l 'atid-if that
social enjoyment ; softens the asperi-
ties of life's' conteatis joiliedwith therniin- .
struetion Which leaches self-reliance- 'and
self-defence, sciMuell the better. When for;
eign countries contribute their aide° make
the meeting a sneceas, your government
should not fail •to be represented.
Orif militia form is our reliance in times of
trouble, and the Constitution guaranties
"the bearing of arms. Allow me to conclude
with the hope that this, the third national
gathering of your various association% from
all the different parts of this broad lAnd,

ago to-day.
Mr. James Irvin, from the Committee to
revise the Constitution and By-Laws, made
a verbal report, suggesting several impor

original articleii, which were calculated to
increase and strengthen the organization.
The amendments were unanimously

:and if so unfortunate asto receive injary
t a fireillais Association

Shoplifters Arrested in Allegheny.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Ewer, of the'
Cirm of Bwer &Long, dry goods merchants
en Ohio street, near Sandusky, appeared at
the Mayer's office and stated 'that he had
mason to.sueqiect a man and woman, who
had been 112 his establishment a short time
before, of shoplifting.„ Officers Bowden
tied Gabby, having obtained a description
of the pair s at once started in pursuit and
succeeded linarresting them in the Market
Housesquare. A March at the Mayor'ti of
lice revealed a considerable quantity of dry
goods concealed beneath the sack wornby
the woman. Mr. Ewer failing to recognize
any of his property among the goods, Mr.
Samuel Gordon, of Federal atreet, and Mr.
,IL M. Dunlap, of Dunlap, Luker dc Co.,
dry goods merchants, on the same street,
whose stores it had been ascertained they
had entered, were ,sent for. Mr. - Dunlap
Immediately recognized the goods as part
of hieproperty, and the pair finding them
selves thus caught, at 'once confessed the
Until, but stoutly denied having taken
anything from any of the other establish:
rnents. In answer to inquiries they both
refused to give their names, but the woman
stated that she had arrived that morn
ing by.the boat from Cincinnati, and that
she was stopping at a house on First street,
in the Third ward. Officers were dispatch
ed to search the house,the proprietor ot
which was absent, and in doing so
they unearthed a large quantity ,of
dry goods, fancy trimmings, &c., dre.,which
evidently had been Collecting for a consid
erable time. j The neighbors in the vicinity
pronounced the story of the woman in re
gard to her arrival false. stating that she
had been seen around for more than a week.
A hearing will be had in the case this
morning. when the mattar will bo fully de

reverse, being, perhaps, twenty-two years
of age, very , neat in dress somewhat in

An accident occurred at A. D. 'Smith
Bro's. stone quarry, in Mifflin township,
on the Monongahela river, opposite -
Keesport, yesterday, resulting in the death
of Christina Hunter, a little girl, between
four and five years of age. Barney Boir
was at work in the quarry, which, is loca
ted at the top of the bluff; about - two hun
dred feet above the river, 'and started a
large stone down the hill, which unfortu
nately diverged from the regular course, a
few feet from the startingpomt, and struck
a tree which turned it still further from its
course, and started it rolling toward . the
'house of Mr. Hunter, which is situated
about half way between the top of the bluff •
and the river, and some distance up the
river from the stone quarry, As the stone
was rolling in the direction of the, house at
almost lightning speed, and - increas
ing its a. velocity with every • revolu
tion, the little girl emerged from
the coal shed, which is about twenty
feet from the honse, and becoming alarmed
at the descending
,stone, endeavored to
reach the house in order to avoid danger.
The man at the top of the bill seeing that
she :tvas only , increasing the danger by
going toward the house, called to her to go
back, but site continued on her course and
just. reached the coiner of the house in
time to be caught by the descending. stone,
and crtisbed between it and the wall. She,

Sadden Death of a Citraen of Allegheny.
Yesterday afternoon the friends -and .ac
quaintances of Mr. Samuel M'Kain, one of
the oldest and most widely known citizens
of AlleghenY, were startled - by the an
r.ormcment of his sudden death, the cir
cumstances of which, as near' as we could
gather thetia ' being as follows: -It -
seems that Mr. M'Eain" had been.
employed by Jonathan Gallagher, Esq.,•
to clear off the rubbish from a
tract of land: in M'Clure township,
known as Breed's Grove, of which he is the
owner. He had been toiling pretty hard
until late in the afternoon, when, feeling a
little tired, he, sat down on a log to rest, but
had hardly got seated when he was seen to
fall over by some persons in the vicinity,
who immediately ran to the place but found
life - extinct. The cause of his sudden death
is not known, as he was in his usual health
in the morning, but it is supposed to have
been an attack of heart disease, to which he
was subject at intervals. He is at present
lying at his late residence in the Second
ward, Allegheny. where the Coroner will
hold an inquest this morning. .
