REPUBLICAN MVOS. MEETING
IN ALLEGHENY CITY,
Large _ Crowd... Stirring. Speeches--Great
Enthusiasm.
. .
According to previous announcement the
.
Republican citizens" of the First Ward, Al=
legheny, assembled en masse on Saturday
evening, at the Viet of Marion avenue, to
ratify the . National . nominations and plat
form, and inaugurate an active campaign in
that siistrict. Some ttme before the hour'
appointed the assemblage commenced to
gather, and at eight o'clock, when the
meeting was called to order, over three
thousand voters had assembled at' the
stand, all of whom seemed animated with
1 a spirit of the most hearty 'enthusiasm.
The band discoursed.several patriotic airs,
after which, on motion of Major Stockton,
a permanent organization was effected by
calling to the chair Josiah King, Esq.,
i President'of the First ward Grant and Col
fax. Club, with the following list of Vice
,Presidents and Secretaries.
Vice Presidento-0. 0. Phillips; David
Smith, Henry Irwin, C. Yeager, Alexander

•Scandrett. ' . '
Mr. King on assuming his positipn thank
ed the audience for the .henor conferred
upon him, and;expressed great satiefac
lion at the large- number present, Show
ing as it did that the Republicans of the
First. ward, Allegheny, were fully alive
to the ;importance and magnitude of the
.struggle In which they. were engaging.
Though he would be prevented by physical
disability from entering as actively us he.
desired into the campaign, yet his whole
heart was in the work. 'He made a few
remarks in regard to.the Demoeratieparty,
showings. ;hat thefr object was to undo. that
Which had been done. We were apt to at
tach too little importance to public matters;
'but every man who desires the welfare of
his country should think of it as a part of
his religion, and especially en the eve
of a struggle like the present proui
ised to be we "should take more ac
count of --- ankh's. The policy of the
DemobratiS Nit.? as announced through
their press ancicandidates was revolution
ary - iu ite character, and every patriot,
-every one who feared a repetition of the
acenes t of the last rebellion, should go to
work actively in laboring for their defeat.
He cared not for Grant and Colfax as men,
but the' 'firiticiples which they represent
were all important and vital. We are abun
dantly able to accomplish all that:is de
sired if we were earnest and active in our
labors. Organization, co-operation, (xi-sac
rificing, were the means by which victory
would_be earned in November.
Hon. Russell Errett was nestihtrOduced
to the assemblage. Mr. Errett said the
subject nearest his heart in the present
canvass was organization. He was a mem
ber of the County Committee and he wish
ed to urge upon all the importance and ne
cessity of a more perfect organization. He
had urged the importance of this in
the lust campaign in this State, and the Re
publican party owed the loss of the election
of their candidate for the Supreme' J udge
ship„to the listlessness in this master, and
it wits thtse and kindred deteate in 1867
which made the Democratic party
jubilant to-dry. ,The issue was more
important now than then. If the
,Deniocratic party succeeds in this con=
test .there is great danger to the country.
A tready rebels in the South, in_ anticipation
ofs triumph for their friends of the -.loin
cause," are throwing oft - the mask and
boldly saying, backed as they are by'ttheir
,tdions platform, represented by Seymour
and Blair, that the South remained uncon
quered. In istis the same battle has to be
fought over as that which was contested in
the held, and to defeat them work was no
cesSary. He was glad, however, to see that
the same ola spirit animated theeptibli
can party, and all that had to be d me was
to keep this spirit alive to the Cies If he
was to comprise in one word all t at was
necessary it wohld be "organize. o
party had-ever succeeded unless it did this,
and no. party could succeed without it.
There were 'votes enough to win victory,
and all that was necessary was to get thew
out. ' Let every man, not depending on his
neighbor, go to work himself in •this mat
ter. and see that the votes come out. Let
the State be carried by the Republican
party in October anu the election in '
November was sure, and as goes the Old
Keystone so`goes the Union. . ,
At the close of Mr. Errata's speech three
rousing cheers were given for the speaker
and for each of the candidates, Grunt arid
Colfax.
Mr. R. J. Powers, of Ohio,. was the next
speaker. He said he felt complimented
' in the honor conferred in the invita
tion
to•addreas the meeting., -A stranger
In the olece, but lately taking up his-abode
in this vicinity from Ohio, he felt diffident
and emitarrissed in speaking to 'people
with Whorl' he wins not acquainted. But it
occurred to tilin that no man, no_ Mailer
where he 0055 from, oould refrain on snob
all ills:a:don front advocating sucu a l o u d..
ohs cause as, that which they had unil.4- .
taken. It was the first time since the
close of trio reboil - ton that the people were
called upait to choose a Chief Magistrate,
and it seemed to be the thought of every
tuau ; to which party shill I attach mysal.
Re lad kn !wit the Denteuratie party for a
long time mid be didn't know anything
good of them, and . he couldn't sees why
they oeuid. in Ebel:tee of their past history,
so postiivky assert that they were the
[ lovers of tho Union. Tao gentleman then
rot iewed this p trty in scathing ;style for
sense rime, show.ng that it was composed
mainly of sympathizers with the rebellion
and of rebels LilOillSel9lll.
Major A. M. Brown was the next Speaker.
'After indulging in some felicitous re
marks, which set his hearers in a roar of
laughter, he proceeded in eloquent and
most. convincing style to review the two
parties which appeared before the Amen-
can:people to-day for :their suffrage. lie,
' related us thrilling incident of the war
'which ditiPlayed General Grant's capacity
as a leadei• iii'a marked degree. - In the
evening after, the second day'slight in the
Wideitiess, when both, armies had retired
*front the contest, Grant called his offi
cers' around biro to hold a council of
'war in regard to the next] day's
() i terations. When they an gathered in his
tent he asked "one. by one for an opinion;
but all was doubt and fear. Retire to rest
and reorganize for a few days wits the gen
eral opinion. • General' Grant, seeing this
state of antra would be disastrous to the
cause, showed thenins impravtleabillty and
adored an innnediaot erganization of the
army so that it eoula bs ready at t h e tstrliest

purpose and feeling and • as representation

handled without gloves by the Major in his
Inimitable and scorching style and at con
siderable length. In conclusion, ho paid a
glowing tribute to the patriotism of Alle
gheny county, which had given so Much
money • and - Men in - support of the
war, and he ' felt it was a waste
of words to tell the people of such a country
what to do. They Could never so far forget
their.foriner actions as toirynd their aid In
electing men representing the principle!. of
SeyMour and Blair to power. (Cries of no,
never, never.) The principles for which
they had so freely elven el' I their treasures
to support were still guiding them, and
would continue so to do until the loyal, the

brave, the IThlon candidates *ere placed at
the helm of State.
H: C. Maekrail,Fatq.,Was the next apeaker.
He said it had been his privilege to engage
in other contests of this kind, and he con
sidered this the greatest that had ever
appealed to the sympathies .and hearts of
a Union loving people. The question be
fore every man was, are you going to give
up that which has cost four years of war
and millions of treasure? The real candy
date of the Democratic party was P. P.
Blair. It was expected • that the' excite
ment of politicat campaign would so in-,
jure,the health of Seymour that he would
be compelled, even if elected, to ~resign,
and then Blair , the renegade. Blair, the
revolutionist Blair, the. sympathizer with
rebels, would take the reins of piower, and
anarchy and ruin would speedily follow.
The Speaker then took up the principles of
the party, and at some length showed the
evil which be brought upon the country if
they should prevail, pictured the dire re
sults of a government conducted on such
principles; and closed with au earnest tip-.
peal to every lover of the Union to come, up
to the help of the only true party in he
present struggle.
John M. Kirkpatrick, Esq., being now
introduced,•reiliatited that this wait not the
time properly to 'ventilate, the atrocities of
the Democratic party. This was •, an hour
for congratulation, and under the summer
stars and stars and stripes they had gather
ed to say this:',"our glorious Union must
and shall be preserved." He had thought of
not entering the . present campaign, but he
found the Democratic party not yet dead
add he wished to add his Influence in has
tening thathappy consummation. He con
gratulated t he Republicans of the First ward
on the auspicious opening which they- had
made. %%ith such a spirit abroad in the
land there , was no cause for dismay. The
men who followed the battle line, the men
who carried the flag to victory, will vote as
they shot, and if we live till next Nevem
her we will have the honor of elevating
the greatest man in the Union, Ulysaus S.
Grant. Durinir the Democratic meeting at
•he Battery, in Pittsburgh, a few evenings
since, a speaker from St. Louis, named
Smithers, in the course of his remarks,
intending to be very sarcastic, contempt
uously ssked the question, "W hat shall
we call this man Gran?" A voice com Lug
.from the opposite side of the , street answer
ed, saying, "call him Unconditional Sur
render." So he would call him Uncondi
tional Surrender, and underthis leadership,
and falling into line beneath the glorious
Stripes and Stars, the R publican party
would march onward to c mplete victory
in November.
• At the conclusion of M . Kirkpatrick's
speech' the band struck up the Star Spangled'
Banner, after which the l Chairman an
nounced that as the hour was fate the
meeting would be adjourned, and. the Vast
crowd slowly dispersed.
The Old Methcidist Graveyard—Meeting of
the Lot Owuers..the C om mi s sioners are
Witlinwas taimpremLie.
A 'pectin of tlae.lot owners in the old
Methodist raveyard was held Saturday
evening, at the Eleventh ward public school
house, for the purpose of bearing the re
port of the Cominittee appointed at a pre
vious meeting to confer with the Commis
sioners, and look after the interests of the
lot owners. The meeting was composed of
about fifty persons, white and black, of
both sexes, representing perhaps about one{
fifth of the lot owners. The proceedings,
the business, and the only sensible portiorat
of which we give below, were of a ratherl
unsatisfactory nature. It appears that the
Commissioner's at present are not as Innen
at fault,as some few hard-beaded, ignorant
persons would have the public believe, but
on account of their ignorance and unwilling
ness to come to any terms and their desire
to get the matter into the Courts, the great
majority of the lot owners, who are reason
able men and willing to settle the matter
upon equitable ternevare prevented from
so doing. Two or three teen of this class
have conceived the idea that the old gravet
yard is of immense value, and that every
lot owner, if he gets his 'proportion of the
pryeeeds of the sale, will pee.,me a million
-ere; and with - thistrixalted idea refuse ,to
come to any terms,„and insist upon taking
the matter to the Courts to test the legality ,
of the net of Assembly vacating the' hirry-%
ing ground and authorizing the Commis
stollen to remove the bodies. The nieet
ing was organized at eight o'clock, when,
on motion, Mr. L D. Gardner was called
to the chair, Mr. McKean acting as Secre
tary.
Mr. Gardner, on taking the chair, stated
that the meeting had been called by the'
-ComMittee appointed to confer with the
genimissionerm, &c., to bear their report.
The minutes of the Preceding meeting
were read end approved.
Mr. George Wilsori, from the Committee,
presented a verbal report. He stated' that
he.in conjunction with the other members
Of the Committee; had visited Mount Union
and Hilidale Cemeteries, and that lets
pould be obtained' in the former for $l5
each, and in the latter at $4O. .1 1 1 e further
rated that ninety-five hats could be ob
allied for I rls each'.
- Mr. Chapman, from the Committee,
stated in addition that the price of lots in
the above Cometeritl. had .advanced five,
dollars since the Commissioners had coin
tneticed the' negotiation with the Compa-
Mr. Kincaid was Called upon testate what
the Commissioners intended to do. Ilesaid
that he did not attend the meeting as a
' Commissioner, but was there as a lot hold
er. He could- not tell what the Commis
sioners propoaeki doing with referende to
the claims of the lot owners, betas to their
intention with reference to the propOst•d
sale of the property by the Sheriff, hest ited
that the Commissioners had been endeav
oring to procure money to pay off the
yclainis of the city and• stop the sale, and
Mr. Parker, one of the Coinimssioners, had
informed him that he had raised sufficient
Money to meet the claims.
lie further stated that he had urged open
the Commismioners the propriety 01 settling
with the lot owners upon the terms prowl-
Red, viz: The Commissioners to pay the
lot owners Eau each, the lot owners to re
move their own dead, and that he had pro
posed to the Cominissioners to assist the
.poorer persons in removing their dead,
which the Commissioners agreed to, but re
fu',ed to bind themselves to do so.
Mr. Henry wished to know what right
the cominiasioners had to sell the ground.
He stated that in 1834 the ground was pur
chased for three thousand dollars,,and.that
they had realised over $19,000 out of it.
The lots owners owned it In fee simple, and
no one else had any claim upon it.
lie also desired to know what became of
thejeweirif and other valuables which .had,
been taken from the graves.
-Capt. Andrew Miller at ted that.the lot
owners need not trouble themselves about
the proposed sale of, the property by the
Sheriff, that It would not affect their rights
in the least. He said that he as . one °Me'.
Committee had a conversation with Mr.
Vank irk, rrrie of tile Commissioners, who
espressed himself willing to come to Lerma'
with the lot owners.. He was willing to ex- ,
wind 'all the Marley' that Could• be . realized;
from the sale of the ground in the removal
of the dead, rind .payment of the claims
against the graveyard; and suggested that
the lot owners appoint-a Committee toilet
in conjunction with the Commissioners, iii
purchasing lots and removing the dead. He
said that this was the, -feeling of the Com
missioners. • -
A colored man stated that he had pur
chased a lot lit the Allegheny Cemetery.
,and if the Commlissionars would pay him
what he paid for lt, •and remove his dead to
It, he was willing to settle.. • ' • •
, Several others addressed the meeting,
most of whom, It appeared, had no desire
to - come to terms with the Commissioners,
but only desired to abuse them and object
to any propesition tenth -'g toward a settles
Mont of'the difficulties..
A lot owner said that the matter had been
talked of -for a long time, but that, nothing
definite had been arrived at, and he would
no* move that the Committee appointed
be 'continued and authorized to procure
legal advice immediateli and bring the
matter before the Court, where it _could be
definitely settled.
A gentleman moved to amend by adding
that each lot owner lie required to con
tribute the sum of five dollarato defray
the expenses of the suit.
At this point an old gentleman, who had,
uring the whole evening beem_grovrfing
bout the manner in which the cOmmis
loners had removed the strangers, or as he
lledthem, the "single interments" `from
he grravevard. and disputing their author
ty to do so, wished to know if , the gentle
an who made' the motion to amend was a
lot owner. • '
Mr. Henry stated that at all previous
meetings a number of outsiders had been
run in on Them to.vote down any resolution
calculated to benefit the lot owners, and he
was not going to submit to it. He further
.said that the Conimissioners should not
have possession.'of his lot while he lived,
unless they paid him full value for it.
The gentleman who made the motion to
amend, then replied that he was. not a lot
owner,but that be represented his brother,
who owned a lot. . • ,
Mr. Kincaid opposed the resolution with
a very forcible argument.
Capt. Miller also opposed the resolnlion.
Re said that he did not think it prudent to ,
take the matter into court, as it would only
prolong the difficulty.
After some further discussion the motion
was withdrawn. -
Mr: George Wilson moved that the Com
missioners be requested to calla meeting of
the lot owners and ascertain what number
of persons desire lcita, and also upon what
terms a settlement ban be made. -
Mr. Chapman moved to, amend by re
questing that the Cdmmissioners settle with
the lot owners.
.
The old gentleman who had found fault
with the "single interments," opposed the
motion. He objected to dealing with such
men as composed the Commission, and he
moved that they be required o remove the
bones of the, strangers back to the-grave
yard and' reinter them “dacently" and let
the prope:ty alone.
A young man,whose personal aPpearance
was by no means prepossessing, then took
the floorand harrangued the meeting with a
five minutes speech, hurling insults at the
Commissioners, and winding up by saying
that the. Committee appointed by the lot
owners had been "manipulated,' andwere
now acting in conjunction with tne Com
missioners.
The Committee therefore asked to be dis
charged.
Capt. Miller for the Committee replied to
the charge in a pithy, speech, whieb °limed
the young man who made it to sneak to
the back part of the hall, where he kept
quiet during the remainder of Oe AiMe the
meeting was in session, -
• The motion Of. Al r. Wilson as amended
by . Mr.. Chapman was then adopted."
On motion the report of the Committee
was received and the thanks of the lot
owners tendered to them for the faithful
manner in which they had attended to the
duties of the appointment, and the Com
mittee coritimmil to attend to the interests
of the lot owners. •
On motion adjourned to meet this morn
ing at the sale of the grave yard.
Stolen Watch Recovered
Some weeks since a valuable watCh was
stolen from Mr. Hall, on Liberty street,
and notwithstanding every'effort was made
to obtain some 'clue to the thief or the
whereabouts of the property both for a
time proved unsuccessful. A circumstance
recently occurred, however, which lead to
the recovery of the watch and, will 'proba
bly load to the conviction of the thief.'
A few days since a man giving his name as
Leslie was arrested in Allegheny, after
shooting officer Green of that city,: for
which he was held to bail in the sum of fif
teen hundred dollars to answer a charge of
`felonious assault and battery, and in de
fault thereof was committed to jail. In a
conversation with Chief of Police Bowden
of Allegheny, with reference to obtaining
bail. he stated - Lhat he had a valuable watch
in Pittsburgh which might be taken as se
security for his appearance. The officer
thought nothing farther of the remark
until the following day, when in con
versation with Chief Green of this
city, he was requested by that gen
tleinan•to be on the look out for a valuable
watch which had been stolen from this city,
whereupon he related to Green what Leslie
had said. Green, like a wise man, kept his
own council, and called upon Leslie at the
jail, and obtained from him sufficient infor
mation to convince him that he was on the
right track, and by using the proper means,
induced the man to direct him or to go with
him and show.him the watch. He then ob-
Wined permission to take Leslie out of jail,
from the proper authority, and was by him
cnndueted to a board pile on the bank of
the Allegheny river, near the Point, where
the watch was secreted. The watch was se
cured, as was also the prls_oner, who was

reward had been offered for the recovery
of the watch, which will, of course, fall to
Chief Green.
Itla unfortunate for Messrs. Bowden and
Green, of Allegheny, who were instrumen•
tal in securing the thief and indirectly the
recovery of the property, that they did not
follow the matter further and secure the
reward to themselves.

Bair Brushiug by Machinery.
One of the most novel inventions recently
brottght to the notice of the • putino is
Camp's patent for brushing the hair by ma
'chinery. This neat little apparatus consists
of a circular brush, having a rotary motion
given - to it, by an endless gum band or belt
extending from machinery attached to the
ceiling, directly over the chair In which the
subject tuts. The operator than connects
the brush to the gent band, which is suffi
ciently elastic to admit of being moved
from one portion -of the head to another.
The invention although new is coming into
general use throughout the ootintry, and in
a short time no barber shop wiU be com
plete without it. ldr, George Falkenstein,
135 Liberty street, next door to Irare's Ho
tel, has the 4 suttiohlue" in complete run
ning order to his excellent and well con
conducted" establishment. The salutation
experienced while nndergoing a brushing
by machinery is a most delightful one, and
beyond all description: We can only say
that It is a "charming new sensation," and
would advise all who have not tried it to
do so immediately. Remember the place
is at Falkenstein's Liberty street, next door
to Ilarq'm Hotel.
Fatal Aetident—Man Killed on the Con
nellsville Rallroad—The Body' Horribly
Mutilated—Coroner's Inquest. •
An accident occurred err the. Pittsburgh
and :Connellsville Railroad about three k!
o'clock yesterday.morning, which rMnlted
in the death of Peter Dean„ formerly a resi- .
dent of the old Third ward, which he rep- I
resented in the City Councils at one time.
About. a year since Mrl, Dean removed to
•-t
Laughlin's . Station, on-. the P. dr, C. Rail- '
road, in the Twenty-third ward, where he
hits since resided. He was- in the lower
portion of the city on Saturday, and Start- I
ed to go' home on the McKeesport Accom
modation, train, which leaVes the Depot at
10:30 P. at., and behig considerably
sated, failed -to gel off the train at Laugh
lin's station,. and was carried to Brown's,
where he attempted to jump off after the
train had started- from the station. The
conductor, -who happened to le.:fiear him,
observed his movement and , ntching bold
of his coot held him uuti! he could stop
tbe. train. Before telling him off he tried.
to persuade him to ge. to Braddock's Sta..
tion, thinking by that time he would be
sober, but he would not agree to go.: BO
was •- then put off at Brown's Station
at 11:25, • and left standing on the
platform. Nothing morel was seenref him
,until about five. o'clock Sunday morning,
when the body was found , lying. between
.the rails near Brown's station. - It is pre
isumed-that the unfortunateman sat down
upon thetraqk • and probably fell asleep,
.
and that the.thrnugh freight, which pisses
that 'point at about, three ()retook,- paseed , -1
over hitn,tis it isthe only train, which passes
during the night - after the McKeesport ac-. I
oommodation and-to strengthen_ this suri
position blood was found ti;;;In the • wheels. -
of the freight train.. The bc::iy was terribly
mutilated, the wheels 1.1.1;:in g . passed. di-'
teeny over it. Coroner Lia kcson . was no:-
titled and held an- inque:,t : vdav, when.;
the jury returned: a verdi:d of aecidental!
death, relieving the eliii,l9yes the road
and company from any Haute in the matter.
The deceased was about forty-fivo years
of age, and leaves ; a widow and seven
children. -
Frightful Runaway.
Sftturday evening, about seven o'clock,
Dr. Wishart's. horse; which was attached
to . ' a baggy and standinZ in front of the
Doctor's residence on' Wylie street, one
door below Chatham, took fright and rail
away slightly injuring Willie Sullivan, a;
little boy about eight years of age, and
literally demolishing the buggy. Doctor
Wishart's sun, a bog abdut fourteen years
of age, was standing at the horses head
trying to put the bridle on which he had
by some means. managed to get off, and
there were three smaller bogy's, one of'whom
was" Willie Sullivan, standing in front of
the horse when he started. The- ant jump
he `made all of the smaller boys were
.knocked into the middle of the street and
the larger one held fast to the horse r which,
'in his efforts to free himself from the buggy,
stepped on the boy, slightly cutting the
back of his head. The buggy passed over
all of them, but strange as it may appear=
inflicted no
. injury. The boy' having hold
of the horse heldto him until near Tunnel
street, when he was forced to let go to• pre
vent being jammed against a lamp post.
The horse turned down Tunnel street,
and left the buggy before reaching 'the
avenue and was caught on the opposite side
of the Fourth Street road.
Dr. Augustine ran out of his drug store;
carried the, injured boy in and dressed his
injunes, which were very alight, after
which the, mother of the child, Wharesides
on Chattuun street, a few doors below
Wylie, carried him home. The other two
boys were terribly frightened, and as soon
as the buggy passed over them regained
their feet and ran to their homes.

not being liable to get out of grder, have
