One of the largest and most interesting meetings of the campaign was held Satur day evening, at the corner of Butler street and St. Mary's avenue, in the Seventeenth ward. The Republicans turned out in their might, and there were many honest Democrats present, who, being tired of the j" lap trap," "catch penny" arguments of = emocratic speakers, me out to hear the i uestions at issue discussed in a fair and honorable manner by men who understand therm; A. large number of ladies graced the meeting with their presence, which as a natural consequence had a tendency to prevent disturbance. The meeting was calle to order by Mr., S. W. Reynolds, wh proposed the following named gentlemen as officers: President—G. S. Bates. Tice Presidents—J. T. McClure, A. Mo- Clintock, Jacob Mattern, H. Schmidt, Chris topher Miller, John Nasser, C. Norton, W. C. Brown, John Schmidt, Daniel Donahue, Col. A. Scott, Christ Umverzock, Z. Wain wright, John Chritz, C. Rode, John Kinsey, Sr., Robt. Cane, G. E. McCready, G. W. Gardner, M. Bosworth, Robt. Bell, Jr., J. D. Clowse, Geo., Holgrave, J. W. itiddel, Edward Morganroth, John Chislett, Jr., Ed. Davison, Adam Esler, Wm. Living ston, Thos. Jones, W. Bailey. Secretarics—F. M. Gardner, G. W. Nich ols, Robt. P. Black, A. J. Harbaugh, John Miller, Frank Donahue, and reporters of the Republican press. The Chairman, Gen. A. L. Pearson, who stated that he was not going to punish them with a long political harangue, but would Merely talk awhile to the soldiers present. The General said that there was but one question at issue in the present contest, and that was the same which had engaged the minds of the people during the war, and that was "should the loyal people control this Governme•st or should it be turned over-to the control of those men whose bands were red with the loyal blood of the nation." The only platform the soldiers of this oounty stood upon were the glorious stars and stripes, and the "treacherous stars and bars." The Republican party presented the flag of the nation with a star for every State as the platform, and the Democrats presented the same platform which was carried at the head of every regiment of rebel troops, and which they were compell ed to lay II own to Gen. Grant at Appoma tox Court House—the rebel flag. He closed with an eloquent appeal to the Democratic soldiers, ,to think of . the matter calmly before casting their votse for the enemies of the Goyernment. Thomas M. Marsha,ll, - Esq., was the next speaker. He discussed in an able manner the reconstruction question, and held that the conditions imposed upon the people lately in rebellion were not only fair and honorable, but far more liberal than they had any right to expect, and that they would have been perfectly satisfied with them had it not been for the hope of re establishing the institution of slavery, which hope was encouraged by Andrew Johnson. The reconstruction acts passed by Cengress imposed nothing upon the rebels which were not strictly necessary, for the protection of the Government against the assaults of traitors in the future. [After Mr. Marshall bad been speaking some I time, delegations composed of the Twelfth ward Club and the Central Tan ners' Club, headed by a band of music and equipped with torches, arrived and were enthusiastically received.] After quiet had been restored the sneaker resumed and discussed at considerable length the merits of the local candidates, and appealed to the soldiers present to cast their votes at the approoching election against the same foe they has shot at during the war. • At the conclusion of Mr. Marshall's re. marks, General‘J. K. Moorhead, who was present, was loudly called for, and made a forcible argument in favor of the princi- - cies of the Republican party, and held that through it alone the country could be saved from ruin. '- The meeting then adjourned with throe cheers,for Grant and Colfax' and the State County, and city tickets. ..! Republicans of Temperaneeville Moving— Large Mass Meeting—Great Enthu. siasm. The friends of Grant and Colfax of Tern peranceville rallied en masse in front of Ballentine's .t Co.'s store, on the Pike, on Friday evening last, to manifest their in terest in the present political - struggle. .As neat and commodious speakers' stand had been erected in front of the store for cam paign purposes, around which the voters began to assemble at an early hour, so that when the meeting was called to order there was scarcely a foot of ground vacant within the sound of the speakers voice. TherTemperanceville Glee Club was ,in attendance and aided by a splendid brass band enlivened the occasion with some very splendid and soul-stirring airs. From the commencement to the close of the pro ceeding, no one;left the ground, so much were all interested and enthusiastic in the cause which had brought them together. An organization - Was effected at half past seven, o'clock, after the unanimous elec tion of the following officers: Presitient—Thomas Ralph. Vice Pre.sidente—John S. Hunter, - John Wilkinson, Thomas Hershberger, homas Ferguson ' Jefferson Richardson, John Smitley, John Bryant, Nathaniel Balleri tine. Secretariee—S. H. French, James Critch low. The Chairman, after returning thanks for the compliment tendered him, introduced W. C. Hull, Esq., a resident of Temperance ville, lately returned from a visit to Tenn essee. Mr. Hull made a brief address, in which he dwelt particularly on the deplora ble condition of Tennessee undet the reign of terror caused by the depredations of eels and the Klux Klan. The a b ve the result of his own observations in the matter. and his remarke were listened to with careful attention by the audience. S. A. McClung, FAR., next addressed the assettiblag,e for about half an hour on the financial question, his remarks exhibiting an acquaintance with, and an adeptness in handling this difficult theme which bespoke its carefai, reflective study on the part of the 'speaker: The. Glee Club now favored the audience wltha swig, after which John M.'•Kirkpat rick, EA., was introduced and delivered an _address abeut an hour and a half in length, abounding in telling hits and keen logical argument which elicited frequent and long continued applause: At the close of Mr. Kirkpatriek's speech; te meeting adjourned with three cheers for Grant and Colfax, the State and county tickets. Briapocks Field& The usually quiet but thriving and pros perous village of Braddooks Fields was atonsedirom the letha l ly incident to town» PITTSBUIIGIi GAZETTE : MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1868 of its oharacter,luld thromninto a state of excitement for the time being, on Saturday night last, by one, of the largest and most enthusiastic Grant and Colfax meetings which has been held outside of the city during the present campaign. Old men and young turned out from the work shops from the- coal mines, and from the counting rooms, and the honest but hard working farmers for miles around helped to swell the crowd until it numbered many hundreds. The Grant and Colfax Club of the borough turned out armed and equip ped with torches, banners, caps and capes, and headed by a band of martial music marched through the principal streets of the town, A largo number of ladies, the wives and daughters of the loyal, patriotic mechanics, merchants, miners and farmers were present and gave their sanction to the noble effort now being male, of which that meeting was a part, to prevent the Govern ment from falling Into the hands of these who have labored to destroy it. The meeting was organized by calling Col. E. Jay Allen to the chair and ap pointing Lieut. Isaac Mills, Jr., Secretary. Col. Allen, on taking the chair, in a neat and appropriate address thanked the meet ing for the honor cenferred upon him, and introduced Mr Mlles Hiimphreys, who made a tolling speech to the workingmen. Mr. Humphreys being a laboring man him- . self. and been identified with the Trades Unions of this county since-their origin here, is perfectly familiar with the interests of labor and its requirements. He canvassed the financial question fairly and most effectually exploded the "pedagogue" would-be Congressman's theory. At the conclusion of Mr. Humphreys re marks, W. T. Haines, Esq., was introduced to the nieeting, and delivered an eloquent and f rcible address. The speaker discus sed all the questions at issue in the present campaign in an able manner, and although his address was quite lengthy his hearers Listened with marked attention to its close. The meeting then adjourned. Moreland, Mass k eating at Bloomfield' (Sixteenth Ward)—Large Turnout—Speeches by . Messrs. Slebeneck, Parkinson and Zol . ler.

During the progress of the meeting the Central Tanners' Club, uhiformed and car rying torches, and commanded by Colonel Joe Browne, marched up to participate amid vociferous cheering.

Frit 74 and M. J. Bennett were appointed a CoMmittee to complete the organization of the Tanners' Club. Toe Borough of Braddock's will not be behind the balance of the County, and will rull up a majority for the Union ticket. The Republicans of Plum township held a meeting at New Texas, Friday evening, which was one of the largest and most in teresting township meetings of the cam paign. The Republicans of that township are at work and will give a good account, of their doingi at the approaching election. The meeting was addressed by Ron. T. J. Bigham and Mr. Raymond. Arrangements were made for holding an open air daylight meeting, the time and particulars of welch will be duly announced in the city papers. The meeting then adjourned. Upper St. Clair. The Republicans of Upper_ St. Clair township turned out en masse to a meeting at Alex. Gillespie's, In that township, Fri. day evening. The meeting was addressed by Thomas Ewing and W. S.' Purviance, Esqs. The men of Upper St. Clair are wide awake, and have resolved to give a larger vote for the Republican ticket at the ap proaching election than they have ever cast befqre. Democracy was rampant in Birming ham on Saturday night. Early in the evening a pole was raised on , the corner of Denman ana Washington streets, Mr. W. M. Mundorf disp:aying great 'skill in su perintending on the occasion, and, indeed, it seemed to us that but for him there would have been a failure, as the arrange ments at the outset were decidedly con fused: The pole raising was followed by a meeting at Kunzler's, in the market square, where s large crowd assembled, including a delegerson ation from Lower St. . Ma j. Patt was general super intendent. The first speaker was A. G. Cochran, Esq , who, in a manner and voice, acquitted himself well, but his speech was of the Democratic sort, consisting of an appeal to the prejudices rather than to the common sense of the people. Mr. C. paved the way for ex-Gov. W.F. Johnston, who followed in a heavy speech, consisting mainly in, a labored effort to demonstrate that for three years past we had been living under an unconstitutional government. Anthony Weidman, Esq., made a speech in German, and it was a tremendous effort. His excited manner and violent ,gesticula bon took the crowd, as it were, by storm, and the applause was vociferous. Mr. W. had evidently, intended an extensive speech, but, yielding to frequent admoni tions in his rear to "cut it short," and also an occasional tug at the tail of his coat, retired,: as he said regretfully, before he was "half through.' Alexander Me- Dwaine', Esq., ' was next introduced and made an address , remarkable mainly forthe elegance of the language used. These, we believe, - were all the ipeakers. ,The meeting was orderly, the Republicans, of whom there. were a large present, not manifesting the slightest disposition to create disturbance—,There was considera ble rowdyism on the streets, in the vicinity of the market space, and at one time the saloons in the neighborhood were closed, a few turbulent spirits having engaged in a row. The feature of the meeting was the excellent performances of the "John P. Heisff Glee Club," consisting of twelve members. Their singing was really good, and we could not but regret that their ser vices were not enlisted In a worthier cause. Justice Helsel, of East Birmingham, after whom the Club is named, was present and seemed to fully appreciate the honor eon ferred upon him. Plum Township. A Noisy Time In Blrininghmn. Sunday School Picnic The annual picnic of the Sunday School connected with the North Avenue M. E. Church, Allegheny, was held on Saturday in Gallagher's Grove, in the suburbs of the city and was an exceedingly pleasant and enjoyable affair. The _day was all that could be desired and the occasion, as all such occasions are, was one of great excite ment, especially to the little folks, whose enthusiasm and hearty enjoyment infused themselves into the whole proceedings. Through the kindness of Captain Kountz, transportation, was furnished for all in attendance, a sufficient number of cars for that purpose having been run off the Manchester Passenger Railway to the Pleasant Valley, at the terminus of which the grove is situated. Arrived at their destination, the cars were quickly relieved of their happy load, and soon the i i i woods were made voca with the music of Childhood's merry laug ter. - The morning hours ore rapidly away, and When the time for he feast arrived, a hungry, smiling comp ny gathered around a table fairly groanin beneath the weight of innumerable substnntials and delicacies, a sight of which would have caused the eyes of Ichabod crane to dance with de light and his lips to smack with very joy. Judging from. the manner in which the edibles disappeared,l there was many an lchabod present who did ample justice to his appetite, totally regardless of all things else. The ,after-dinner musements moved rather slow for ati e but gradually the spirit of enjoyment esumed its 'sway, and until the shadows of evening came on, old and young entered th a hearty zest into all the pleasurabl excitements of the occasion. At aproper hour the gathering was bro i kbn up, each of th weary but merry heart ed pleasure seeker bearing away gratify ing recollections w ith will hereafter serve to make this, one o the brightest in mem ory's calendar of titiya. Theoat Race. I I:, The approaching oat race between Wai ter Brown, of Peril nd, Maine, and Henry Coulter. of Allegheny, which is to take place on the upper Monongahela course, Wednesday evening, is creating very little excitement in the city, although it promises to be the beginning of a new era in boat racing, as both parties appear .anxious to have the race decided upon the merits of the contestants. The community have, hovigiver, become so disgusted with the many "fowls," and disgraceful proceedings in races for the championship,that but little interest is taken in the matter. Coulter makes his headquarters at the Xanthe boat house, which has been re moved from the Allegheny to the Monon gahela above the dam. He has attained his rowing weight—one hundred and sixty eight pounds—and is in excellent spirits. Walter Brown arrived in the city at 9:40 yesterday, and put up for the day at the Monongahela house, where ho was called upon by a number of his old friends. He left home Thursday, at which time he weighed 148% pounds; he will row at 153. This morning he will go up the river and select the course, a privilege granted him by the articles of agreement, alter which he will make his headquarters at the Glen wood House. The boat in which he will pull is a paper shell, constructed by Waters tic. Co., Troy, New York, and modeled by himself. It ia 30 feat in length, 12 inches in width, 63 inches in depth, and weighs 24 pounds: cost, $135. He appears to by in good condition, and expresses himself con tident of winning the race, but admits that it will take 'work to do it. Hamill, we learn, has forwarded the first deposit, $250, to Frank Queen, of the Clip -per, to be covered by the winning man in the present race. A Police Officer Sentenced to Jail. James Brown, who was convicted in the Criminal Court about a year since, on a Charge of burglariously entering the shoe store of Messrs. Palmer & Anshutz, on Market street, WAS called up in. the Quar ter Sessions Court, on Saturday morning. for sentence. Brown who was a police officer, visited the store on a Sunday. in company (with an employe of the estab lishment, and was detedied in the act of trying on a pair of boot:.. A lot of goods . had also been tied up, and placed on the counter preparatory to being removed. Brown's companion, a man over. sixty years ofage, was tried on the charge, con victed, and is now serving a term of im prisonment in the Penitentiary. I Brown, however, averred that he merely visited the store as a "stool pigeon," in order to entrap the old man, venom he had suspect /eedf bein a thief. The jury found 111111 guiy, wh a motion for a new trial was made, and subsequently-overruled. He was admitted to bail, and in answer to a summons, presented himself in Court on Saturday morning. When his case was called, the Court remarked - that in view of the circumstances, and the probability of Brown's „innocence, it felt constrained to make the sentence as l'ght as possible. Brown was then:sentenceot hi pay a fine of ten claims and the costs of prosecution. and undergo an Imprisonment in the coun ty jail for a period of twenty days. He was then taken to prison, but as an effort is being made to procure a pardon from the Governor, he will probably be released during the present week. - Mysterious Shooting Affair. and nine evening, between eight and nine o'eock, a most unfortunate event occurred in Sharpsburgh, resulting in the death -of Mr. William Cupps. Mr. C. was sitting in his home about the centre of the room on the first floor, resting his elbow upon a table, while his daughter was reading aloud to him, when he was struck by a bullet and kille d i nstantly. The ball passed through the upper centre light of the lower sash of the window on the side of the houso fronting the rai lr oad , and passing through the fleshy part ohe le ft arm entered the left breast, and passg through the heart killed him instantly.he downward inclination of the ball as indicated by its coming from the window at which the depeaged was sit ting would lead to the conclusion that it had come from) the bluff above the house. Coroner Clawson was notified and empan nelled a jury yesterday when several wit nesses were examined. Their evidence was to the effect that the shot was fired from the vicinity of the residence of Chris tian Cook, which is about two hundred feet distant from Cupps' house. - The inquest was then adjourned until this afternoon. Christian Cook and Adolph Denman, who it appears was at Cook's house on Satur day night, both were arrested and brought to the lock-up where they will remain un til the investigation is concluded. . Grant Hussars. An advertisement signed “Spurs" which appeared in Saturday's GAZATTE, attracted much'attuttion/ and for the' informatiori of those who made inquiry fbr the author,' we refer to the order adiressed to "Grant Hussars," in another column. The 131.1*; gestinn met with prompt raponse, a whole battalion of horsemen having been already enlisted. General William . Blakely as accepted the command. It is proposed h to raise a regiment of horsemen under the above name to participate in the processions of the campaign. The uniform adopted will cost leas than two dollars, being elm ply a military cap, an army blouse with belt, and ordinary pants.- A torch w ith night processions will be worn similar to a sabre. A meetinst will be held to morrow evening at McCallum's, Fifth street, car pet store, to perfect the organization. A section of a battery hal been accepted. Butchers, dmymen and all those baying horses will be taken as members. Those in the districts outside of the city desiring to join by squads or companies should ad dress Mr. S. J. Mon-Iran, the Secretary of tho organization. Amusements Tag OPERA HOUSE.—The dramatic sea son of 1868-9 was opened on Saturday night. at the Opera House, under the auspices of M. W. Canning, Manager; W. Henderson, Lessee, and -F.' 0. Savage, Stage Director. Under the gas light the house looked very neat and pretty, the improvements being of marked and liberal character. .There was in attendance a very comfortable audi ence in the auditorium, and the galleries were well filled. The play, "Love's Sacri fice," was not a good selection for an opening night,as it is deep and difficult enough to tax the energies and abilities of any strongly organized old company, much more at trembling new tine, on the occasion of the initial bow to a strange audience. How ever the cast was strong, and as the play progreSsed the interpreters developed power and at times brilliancy. We believe that, as now constituted, the stock com pany of the Opera House is the best that we have . had for many years in this city, and we trust that the high order of dignity and decorum established on Satur day night will De rigidly adhered tk, throughout the sea.on, and that all cause for complaint in the past has been removed. The company is composed as follows : Miss Augusta L. Dargo, of New York, Leading Lady; Mrs. Mark Bates, Soubrette; Mrs. D. B. Vandeeren, of St. Louis, Old Lady; Miss Lizzie Hardy, well known here; Miss Clara Seabrook, Boston; Misses Kate and Hattie O'Neill, Mobile; Miss Laura Bell; Mrs. John Land; Miss Sophie Baker; Miss Mary Williams; Miss May Dualey; Mr. Oliver B. Dowd, of Mobile, Leading Gentleman;Mr. J, W. Norton, of Boston, Light Comedian; Mr. W. H. Collings, Bos ton, Heavy Man;- Mr. D. B. Vadeerer, St. Louis, Old Man; Mr. Harry Hutto, Low Comedian; Mr. T. D. Savage, Philadelphia; Messrs. J. M. Charles,_ John Dane; W. V. Ferguson, Harry Watson, J. E. Brown, B. S. Adams. :To-night Mr.. Edwin Booth, the most gift ed and brilliant historian on the American stage, opens an engagement of six nights, with his classical interpretation of Hamlet. The large sale of seats already made is ample guarantee of the brilliant ovation which awaits him. MAs mac HAia,---Logren i a opens this even ing at Masonic Hall, and during the week will - introduce some of his,choicest experi ments, selected from an immense repetoire of magical illusions, including his myste rious umbrella, feather and tube, a very Complicated trick, and acknowledged" by all who have ever witnessed it aq the best of the kind ever introduced into the magic arena. The performing Canaries, Java Sparrows, Paroquets, White Mice, and the wonderful trained Russian Cat, are said to be wonderful in their performances. Du ring Legrema's performances in this city in February last. the Hall was crowded every evening by highly respectable. audiences, all of whom were without an exception, satisfied with the entertainment. The Other Side of the question. --- - The statement of a lady named Watson, purporting to be sworn to before one of our city magistrates, under the head of "A Novel Way' to Sell a Sewing Machine," ap peared in the .DiApatch, of Wednesday last, which the public, if they would judge from the article alone, would be led to think that we had a queer way of transacting _business. In reply to this we would say that we do not wish to have any newspaper talk with the party who arranged this af fair, as with him alone we have every rea son to think the matter originated. All we wish to state to the public at large is the true facts of the case. The lady in question came to our ware rooms, uninvited, and examined our ma chine, stating that she had a Weed ma chine, and a lady acquaintance had advised her to purchase an "Empire," and if satis factory arrangements could be made to have an exchange, she would certainly have one of the "Empire" make. After sending one of our clerks to visit her and examine the machine, she herself made the terms of the exchange and all appeared satisfactory. In 'a few weeks she, returned and stated that her brother-in-law, on whom she depended for the funds to enable her to settle the amount agreed to be paid for the exchange, had refused to furnish her the money, and was - dissatified as she did not consult him in the matter, and re quested us to exchange the "Empire" for a Wilcox dr, Gibbs machine, which, with much reluctance, we consented to the se cond exchange, and thought everything would be satisfactory. But we were sur prised in a few days afterwards to see her enter our store and request us to take back the last machine and give her her Weed machine. We politely told her we never did that kind of business, when she threatened to publish the transaction, which we also re quested her to do. If she had only pub lished the truth, we would have been sat isfied. In connection with this we would state that the agent of the, Weed machine appeared to take a great deal of interest in this matter, in fact se much as to call upon us - and threaten to publish the ladies' statement unless we returned her the Weed machine. To those who know both him and ourselves we leave the judgment as to which is correct in the matter, and to the public and our many friends we leave thissubject for their decision.
