:The Young Men's Christian Association
has done noble work during the past year,
and we are sorry to say that some of those
who entered into it; at first with so much
enthusiasm and zeal have relaxed in their
and the' Association, instead of
growing stronger in the fight of Paith, is
daily becoming weaker _in financial
strength. In order to re-awaken an inter
est and to encourage those who are now
laboring -under material disadvantage, a
special meeting of the members will be
held at the Third Presbyterian Church,
Sixth street. ,We sincerely hope and trust
that there will be a full and liberal attend
ance, and that such a praiseworthy associa
tion will not be permitted to languish and
die out for want of proper appreciation or
religions zeal in the community.

Meeting in the Seventeenth Ward.
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.

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

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 was addressed by Ron. T. J.

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.

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

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.
Respectfully, Cialsox &Bltos.
