A Young Hopeful.
Saturday afternoon a buy about sixteen
,yearit of age, named; John Cutler, was ar
rested in South Pittsburgh by officer Stem
/
/or, on a charge of larceny. It appears that
he was passing along Third street in that
borough, and when In front of Mr. Joseph
Hurley's grocery stord he observed that
gentleman come out of the store, cross the
street and enter a butcher shy on the op
posite, side. • Observing that - there was no
one lathe store r be deliberately walked in;
opengd:-the'"castvdrawer and appropriated
_the contents, 'amounting in sit to 'about
fifteen dollars, and made his escape. Mr.
H. cone out lof the butcher , shop just in
time to see hint leave"the store. and on en •
tering his estriblishment.discovered that he
bad been robbed. He immediately started
in pursuit- of ithe young rascal; init - eduld:
not overtake'' him. Officer Sternler was
then put upon his trackt, and sometime in
the afternoon succeeded in arresting him
in a lumber yard In the rear of Justice
Barker's office...
It appears that while being pursued by
Hurley the:' bey had passed through the
yard and hid the money, and had returned
to recover , it; when the•offieer nabbed him.
As ...Don as the officer, got hold of him lie
admitted his guilt and 'conducted him to

How the Primary Elections Passed otr__
Munimpal Nominations—Jared M. Brush
For . Mayorttobert J. McGowan for
CoutrollerA. J. Cochran for Treasurer.
The - Primary elections Of the Union Re
publican party of consolidated Pittsburgh
proceeded en Saterday„. : afterneen in a
spirited though peaceful and orderly man
ner, and as a result lwe have .put forward a
ticket -embracing the names of gentlemen
who will rally to their support every honest
and consistent member of the party. The
subjoined returns will show what a deep
interest was taken in the nominations,
which are equivalent to election, in-all of
the wards, the vote out being unusually
l a i g e. It was a subject of general re
mark • throughout the City that a much
better class than generally participate at
primary elections were in attendance at the
polls and worked diligently to secure the
nomination of their respective „favorites.
The universal fairness and honor which
marked the elections, and the general sat
isfaction expressed over the result, spoke
volumes in favor of the Crawford county
sYstem of nominating, over the corrupt
delegate plan discarded. The people were
mat in their might, and the contest was a
fair,
square, good humored earnest light,
but . the very mohient the result was an
nounced an fell into the lines, awl with To
ciferdus cheers, and ether manifestations Of
approval, gave the, pledge that there will be
no bolting from the ticket.
For Mayor, Jared M. Brush was nomi
nated, leading Mr. Jeremy G 29 totes. Per
haps the citizens never before had such
acceptable material before them from which
to make a Mayor as in these three gentle
hien,. and no mistake would have been
made to have selected either. Mr. Brush
is in every respect .worthy the honor con
ferred upon him. A man of solid sense,
practical and determined, he ' will make
most an excellent Chief Magistrate to pre
side over our city.' Ho belongs to the
working classes, and although made corn
fortably-'wealthy out of hard labor mid toil,
his interests will always continue to be
identifie'd with the laboring element of
society. He will find no more ardent sup
porters than his two competitors for the
office, Messrs. Jefemy'and Robb. The com
paratively small vote which the latter gen
tleman received islargely attributable to
the fact that he entered the field at the
eleventh hour, having been called out juSt
three days previous to Saturday. Mr. ,1 erb
my made a good fight, and his nianly
course in-submitting without a murmur to
the voice of the people commends hint to
()Very member of the party.
For Controller, Robert J. Melowau,
of the Fifth ward; was nominated, leading
Mr. Steel 272 votes. While thousands will
regret the circumstance which deprives the
city of the services of the present Control
ler, whose efficiency and ability are un
questionable, still the nomination atiords
very general satisfaction. Mr. McGowan
is a man of decided worth Mid integrity
and will discharge the duties of the position
with marked care and lie is thor
oughly conversant with the affairs pi' the
city, having served many years in the City
Councils. He has a host of friends and
will add vastly to the strength of the ticket.
He is taken fresh from the workshop to
serve the people: in a responsible position
for which he has undoubted qualification?.
The remaining candidate, A. J. Cochran.
of the old Ninth ward, for City Treasurer,
received a handsome majority over his
cembetitors, all of whom were excellent
men." Mr. Allinder developed consider.
able strength-which proves how highly his
past services in the Treasurer's office, hive
been appreciated. The nominee is an ad nil
-rable and wise selection. He is very popu
lar with all classes of society, and when
elected will he found more than equal to
the responsibilities of the position. He, ton,
is a practical Workingman, and has never
figured much in politics. Messrs. Tomlin
son and Little, whose names wore, also
before the people for the Treasurship, Wade
no special effort to secure the nomination,
permitting the contest to rest between
Messrs. Cochran and Allinder.
Upon the whole the ticket is a goad • and
strong one, anu will be elected by an old
fashioned • majority in October. Here are
-the returns :

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : MONDAY, ,AUGUST. 17, 1868,
of the Reptiblican party, we think, cannot
well be gainsayed. After he retired Col.
Bayne was introduced, and proceeded to
address the meeting, and he did it, too, in
such a style that I verily think that the
"nnterritied" felt for once at least,that a
thunderbolt was hurled amongst them.
lie spoke in actable, eloquent and geOtle
manly manlier; hiS reasoning; was full of
logic; he appealed, to reason and not to
passim); he believed a political speech con -1
sisted not in slandering and vituperating
men of; the opposite party, but in stating
plain, unvarnished facts, pointing out the ,
truth of one doctrine and the fallacies of
the other. The Colonel is a young man,
but he is a man: who will make his mark
some day if life and health be spared him.
"May his. shadow never grow lets:" lie
ceased sptaking and a vote of thanks was
given with a right good will to the worthy
speakers for the importantservice rendered
by them on them on the occasion, After
three rousing cheers for Grant and Colfax
the meeting adjourned.
Meeting at Mt. Washington.
A large and enthusiastic Republican-mass
meeting of the Citizens of igt. Washington
was bald on SatUrday evening, at the school
ho I
use of the borough.he meeting was called to order by the
Pr silent of the Grant Club, Mr. David
Ft rgu,Son,who introduced W. J. McCune,
Es . This gentleman compared. the war
re ord of the two parties, and held that as
du ing the war, the Republicans - were
charged With it, they now were entitled to
all the credit. He was listened to with
close attention for about forty minutes,
during which time he dissected modern
DeMocracy pretty thoroughly'.
H.C. Mack rell, Esq., was, next introduced,
and said that the last time he was on the hill
was in 1863. Then:we were preparing to
protect ourselves from the same enemy who
now threatenes us. '
In alluding to the convention of pure pa
trrotsthat lately metat New York—amongst
them the, sainted Vallandigham and holy
Forrest—and also to their generous proposal
to pay off the debt • without money and
without 'price, he touched lightly on the
oppOition candidate for Congress. Mr.
Burtt's position lie very happily illustrated
by a little story, which was received with
rousing cheers.
J. W. Murray, Esq., then fl - ,llowed for a
few minutes, limiting himself entirely to
the necessity of organization. Meetings
and enthusiaSm are very 'well and great
helps, but the quiet canvassing is what
shows on election day, and this we can have
only by thoreugh organization.
J. S. Robb, Esq., then made a hasty re
view of the results of the war and the issues
before the nation, and after showing the
great consequences 'at stake; urged active
and energetic organization to save what was
so dear to loyal Americans. '
Nearly one-half of the voters then present
came forward and signed the roll of the
Grant and Colfax Club, after which the
meeting adjourned,

The festivities will conclude with a ball in
the Turner Hall, where ample preparations
be made in the large and splendidly
decorated hall and on the ground floor to
accommodate all who wish to gratify their
taste for waltzing. Take it all in all, it iS a
great undertaking, considering that the
management generally rests with a few re
sponsible and energetic men, but we are
glad to hear that some of our moat distin

performances of the Ariiin and Luderkranz
of New York, it will certainly not be bo

The Prize-Ring--Disgracetul Scene in the
Lie:rent NV ard.
Notwithstanding, the fact that City CMin
cils have decided that the police force was
sufficiently large, and what there is of it is
said to be well regulated and efficient, an
accursed incident transpired within the
limits of the city which would indicate
either a lack of vigilance on the part of the
police, or that their number was insuffi
cient for the amount of duty to be per
formed.
The disgraceful affair took place at the Cor
ner of Cliff and Green streets, in the Elev
enth ward, - Saturday eveniml;, in the way of
a prize fight, in which Tom Burk and
Billy McCluskey were the principals, and
terminating in a general row, in which
young Richardson and others acted in a
very disgraceful manner.
About eleven o'clock r. M. the parties and
their friends repaired to the place named
to fight for twenty-five do:lars a side.
A ring was formed and the bruisers enter
ed, with their seconds, and the fight corn
meneed. M'Cluskey proved ton much for
Burke, who ve.is. knocked “out of time"
about the tburth round. . The tight alone
was bad enough, but the crowd of black
guards and cut-throats, which had assem
bled to witness the disgraceful sceile,were
not content, but made it still more dis
graceful by attacking and boating the win
ning man into a perfect jelly. .N,) sooner
was the - light decided by tho referee, than
someone struck M'Cluskey with a "billy"'
and knocked him down, after which the
greater portion , of the crowd kicked, and
beat kilin in a most shameful 'manner. It
is alleged that Richardson used tho "bil
ly." but it is hard to tell who did
it as the crowd was terribly excited. The
affair lasted for fully an hour. and the con
fusion, cursing and moving of the crowd of
cut-throats and bruisers 'Could be heard for
over a square. It appears, however,: ateLe

Saratoga Hotel—The Evening Display.
Dancing is enjoyed in the evening in the
parlors of the different hotels. The most
interesting; as well as amusing sights or
study, are the toilettes and particular car
riage or motion of the leading belles. If
the grandmothers could be resurrected and
,stood in line with the daughters and moth
ers, what an interesting spectacle they
would present. The old adage that "history
buf repeats itself," would be verified. By
reference to old pictures and histories it Will
be found that a fashion or form of toilette,
ultra or extravagant substantially appears
at least every fifty years. The very. extreme
of the present Paris toilette prevails-at Sara
toga to-day, or rather an imitatioh
which might be called a burlesque or extra
vaganza of an antique style. sot a bell or
swell hoop is to be found where once an army
of them was in motion. The chignon is-worn
on top of the head, with two switches inserted
in the hair about thirty degrees below the
key of the arch on each side of the center,
which form pendants like the horns of .a
goat, or to be more precise, like those of a
chamois. The dress has a medium waist
adapted to a hoop somewhat of the shape of
a barrel, large at the 'center and small at
each end, with a backward swell to assist in
forming the train. A large. bustle, or "pan
nier," is worn at the top of the hoop, upon
which is gathered up five or six yards of
material in a kind of bundle. This is called
the "blanchisscuse," or washer-woman's
style, but really resembles the humps of a
camel's back. Across the lowerhips, below
this "pannier," a band extends. It will
thus be seen that we have the most extraor
dinary toilet known in the realms of fashion
for the last two huhdred years! It may
lie remembered as' a historic fact that
a change of fashion changes the whole
tone of a person's manner. The stately,
patronizing — airs, assumed by our belles a
a short time, when dressed in the ample
doWager skirts then in vogue, would.hardly
be becoming the wearer of the fashionable
garb of the day. The fitness of things
alone would prevent this. As a logical ge r
quence of this, all our belles play the petite
with a furore. When walking or standing;,
instead of the stately step or the statuesque,
they assume what is called the "Grecian
bend," or the air . of diffidence and inquiry,
with all the adjuncts. The Grecian bend
is performed by pulling the lower hips up to
a point even with the lower ribs, throwing
the pit of the stomach back or in and the
shoulders for Nard, the hands are ' held in
front, pedant from the wrist, and intended to
represent a spray, the gait is of a canter or
tilter motion. It will be seen from the des
cription of the dress that it is peculiarlY
adapted to effectually allow of a full per
formance of the "Grecian bend," and when
the whole affair is carried out in the dance
by a gay and luxuriant youth, with his hair
parted in the middle, placing his right
arm under the left ofthe lady, with digitalis
extended, as in a spasm. resting between
shoulder blade, while with the thumb and
second finger he holds her wrist, thus leav=
ing her hand to hang lifelessly pendant, we
have an exhibition of snobbishness and
cockneyism which must put nil sensible
Americans to blush.Glor. N. Y. Tribuni r .
Copperhead tulem
The brutish, devilish spirit which pee
prgc.eS the so called Democracy was fully
manifested on the occasion of the passage of
General Grant through Carlinville, the
other evening. That party, under the
auspices of that prince of low fellows, Bill
O'Brien, had been holding a political meet.-
in town during the day, and filled with
bad whisky, when they heard that General
Grant was upon the train, they started for
the : depot, several hundred strong, and
taking possession of the platform, and sur
rounding the General's car,' they set upon
him with the most unearthly yells and
screetchings, insulting him and his family in
the most dastardly and shameful manner.
The fellow O'Brien, whose manners are as
filthy as he is himself personally, was
loudest and foremost in edging on the
d:nnken mob. General Grant had raised
the window of the car for the purpose of
shaking hands with some friends whom he
recognized, when one of the dirty hounds,
more impudent than the rest, rushed to the
window and shouted "Harrah for Seymour
and Blair," violently striking . General
Grant in the face with his hat. Mr. Itc;
Connell, who was conversing withthe Gen
eral at the time, resented the indignity by
giving the fellow a blow on the side of the
smeller, which sent a sprawling, and Lieut.
McKee and others kicked him off the plat
form... This, however, only more incensed
the Copperhead. mob, and, though it was
intended lay the decent citizens of the place
to extend to the General who laid .sucesss
fully led'our armies through .the• War some
indication of 'their personal, not to say
political, appreciation of his services, it was
'found utterly impossible to do so, and the
train passed 0n.,-Springjisidßep, .10th.

TheJetter of instructions from 'Secretary

regarding the course of the administration

States. In fact, by this act, the Preaident
has , virtually. given the control of these
States into the hands of Secretary: Schofield,
who is a pronounced` supporter of the Con
gresidonal reconstruction Operand of Grant
and :Colfax. The letter was written by Sec
retary Schofield, approved, by the President
and forwarded through army heakuarters
without Cabinet consultation on it. The
few Coneressmen who' remain bore, with
many prominent Radicals, agree that one of
the most important results - of the premulga
lion of this letter will be that' Congress'will
not reassemble in September. The Demo.
cratic friends of 'the Administration are very
earnest in their denunciations of the letter,
and publicly pronounce it a surrender to the

A NEW ENGLA.ND paper tells this story:
"There is a man in Vermont who cannot
speak to his father. Previous to his birth
some difficulty arose between- his mother
and father, and for a- considerable time she_
relbsed to speak with him. The difficulty
was subsequently healed,the child was born,
and in due time began to talk, but when sit
ting with his father was invariably silent.
It continued so until the child *as five years
old, when the father, having e'xhausted his
powers of persuasion, threatined it with
punishment for- its stubbornness. When
the punishment was inflicted, it elicited
nothing but sighs and groani; which told •
but too plainly that the little Sufferer could
not speak. though he vainly enc eavored to
do so. All who were prcsent united in the
opinion that it was impossible for the child
to speak to -Its father. Time proved this
opinion to be correct. At a mature age his
efforts to converse with lila parent could
only produce -the most bitter sighs and
groans."
