The announcement that the Grant Hus sars would go armed, prepared for exigen cies in the way of insult or stone throwing on the part of the opposition, had a salu tary etfeet; as the procession last night was in no way interfered with, although the horsemen marched through the "Bull Run District" with bands playing and colors ilying.

Grand Opening Rally for Grant and Colfax In Findley Township. The first and opening meeting for the campaign for Findley township took place Saturday evening last: and was a grand success. The meeting was addressed by Col. T. M. Bayne and Thomas Ewing, Esq. They made able and telling speeches, in which they handled the reconstruction measures of Congress in such a masterly manner that no intelligent voter could deny the justice and righteousness of those acts. They also dealt the greenback Pendleton humbug some deadly blows, exploding the whole theory as a grand humbug, designed to deceive the unthinking voter. The meet ing was also addressed by a young Mr. Fer guson, but owing to the lateness of the hour he did not go into an argument, but promised to do so on some future occasion. The meeting was also entertained by the Bellville Glee Club, the Findley String Band and the. Clinton Glee Club, all 'of which performed their parts nobly. There is to be a meeting on next Saturday even ing at seven o'clock, at the same place. Also a grand mass meeting in Clinton 00-' tober Bth, at twelve o'cbck m.: also in the evening at seven o'clock, at which meetings able and eloquent speakers will address the people.

The t that day) first has rnas hold Republican• Meeting in the Ninth Ward. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Republicans of the Ninth ward was held last evening at the corner of Penn and O'Hara streets. A brass band added much to the interest of the occasion by discoursing at Intervals patriotic strains. The meeting was organized at half past seven o'clock, Colonel Joseph Kaye pre siding, with the usual lists of Vice Presi dents and Secretaries. Addresses were delivered, by .1. W. F. White, Esq., and Major A. M. Brown, who entertained the audience until a late hour with able al d el ,, quent discussions on the issues of the day. The meeting adjourned about half past ten o'clock, with alive rousing cheers for the Republican candidates on the National, State and county ticket-4 Meeting in the Eighth Ward A large meeting of the Republicans of the Seventh and Eighth wards was held,at • the corner of. Webster and Fulton streets, last evening, under the auspices of tho Grant and Colfax Club of those wards. The "Marching Phalanx" turned out with their new caps, capes and torches to escort the Fourth Ward Grant and Colfax Club to the meeting, arid as they marched down Wylie street and Fifth avenue prol. stinted a very line appearance. When they returned a great crowd of citizens had assembled. The meeting was then called toi i order by the President of the Club, after w lett John M. Kirkpatrick and C. W. ROW Ems., delivered able and eloquent addresses. Much Credit Is due to Mr. Henry Paulus, the Assessor of the Fifth ward, Allegheny, for the ea. dye work he has done for the Republican cane. There are many good Republicans in t-at ward, but they needed stirring up, and Mr. Paulus•has stirred them. He has raised a company of abotit•ilfty men, all members of the Fifth ward Grant and Col fax 'Club, and they are all uniformed in bronze caps and capes and armed with torches. They , intend to take, an active part in the great Convention of the 24th Inst., and during the rest of the campaign. It somebody in each wad =w nld under take what Capt. Paulus has done tar the Fifth, the majority we would roll up in Oc tober and November would - astonish the opposition. i PIMP:U.4N ..OrAtrillA:! - VIIVIIADAN : 7 MiIEMBIIII ?,114?.-'14368I A Darn ,Attempt at . 111inyter—.A. Young Tuesday evening a shooting case occur red in the. Eighth 'ward which came very near resulting in the death of an estimable young man, and adding another of , those crimes to our municipal calendar which of late gained:for oar city such an unenvia ble reputation. It seems that the young man, who is the son of one of our most. respectable citizens, had been' spending the evening at a select gathering in the house of a friend, and was returning hor6 in company with his - sister shortly after eleven o' clock. The residence of their parents is situated on Guru street, and they were proceeding along Webster street, in the proper direction, when ihe at tention of the youth was attracted to a crowd of loafers lounging on the corner of Webster and Gum streets, who seemed to be watching their movements. !The young people thought nothing of the, occurrence, and proceed ed on their way without tear. They had not gone far, however, before it became evident to them that they wore follbwed, Looking back the youth noticed a man, ap parently not many years elder thin himself, coming along after them. The Young mar( 'being unarmed, saw the helplessness of his situation and endeavored to avoid the follower by walking faster, but the stranger also quickened his pace and passed them once, but allowed them to overtake and get ahead of him again. He maneuvered in this way for several squares, until the young couple, arriving opposite their own door, crossed the street for the purpose of entering. Just as the young man had reached his own step, the stranger, who had remained on the opposite side of the street, raised a pistol and fired. Fortunately his aim wasi too low and the ball struck the pavement, at the in tended victim's feet, rebounding , without doing any harm. Immediately after the firing the would-be assassin disappeared and no trace of him could afterwards be discovered. The young couple quickly gained admittance to their home, and after being somewhat calmed related the cir cumstanCes to their parents. The affair throughout was certainly an extremely ; bold and daring attempt at murder, which should entitle the perpetrator, if captured, to a lengthy term in the Penitentiary. The Coulter-Brown Boat Race. The New York Clipper contains the fol lowing relative to the late race for the championship which tonk Place here on the 9th inst. between Coulter and Brown: It is a pleasure to know that after a succession of fiascos, which have done much to injure rowing interests, we have at last been fa vored with a championship race which was conducted properly throughout, and which was decided strictly upon the merits of the men, and is very creditable to both. It proved beyond question that Brown is the better man of the two--at present at least—and it is we think doubtful that the adoption of a different style of oarsmanship 1 by the Penn sylvanian will over enable him to reverse this verdict: Walter has proved that he can pull when ho wishes to do so, - and we trus that in all future races he will eked himself to achieve the, victory as he did in - the present instance. Coulter unques tionably did his very best to secure the trophy, and those who risked their money upon him can find no fault with him for losing. He has shown himself to be an excellent oarsmen ; and few would pull a hopeless sternrace wi;h so much pluck and detet in 'nation as he did. The wonderful time said to have been made has caused, n tundly enough, many doubts to be expressed concerning the course be ing five miles in length, and of course everything goes to strengthen that suppo sition. We do not desire to deprive the oarsmen of one iota of the credit which is their due, and, therefore, we would suggest that, In order to settle the matter at once and forever, those interested adopt such measures us will prove either the e.,rreet tiess of falsity of the statement. Unless they do so, it will always be doubted; and if they are convinced that the survey was correct they can have no objection to fol low this suggestion. , • Exhibition of Fruity ;a ant_ . towers. I A very fine display of fruils and flowers has beoa made for . a few days past by Messrs. Elliot Bros. dr, Burgess at their store s No. 116 Market street, in this city, at tracting the admiration of great numbers of people and pros ing very palpably that the taste for horticulture and the beauties of Flora pervades otfr community,generally. The exhibition of grapes, although not ex cessive in - variety, was particularly fine; the Delaware, a peerless fruit, but now in the last days of its season; the bana,its twin sister, more luxuriant in its growth and slower in its maturity; the Rogers' Hybrid and Concord, which promise to' supplant the Catawba as popular grapes for the mil lion; the Ives seedling and Norton's Vir ginia seedling, which promise to take the very highest place for the vintage; all these varieties were represented most favorably. We saw also a half dozen of the finer varie ties of, peaches, and some glorious speci mens of pears, the Bartlett, , Beurre Rose, Duchesse d'Angoulerno and . Oswego. The Ohio ever-bearing Raspberry was noticed by all visitors ; by proper treatment it is made to bear continually until the frost, the branches bearing the fruit, ripe and un ripe in all its stases, mingled with the con stantly renewed blossoms. A vO.y large ebllection of flowers, of the choicest varie ties, in pots and cut in boguets,l received the homage of the lady visitors. Tho Messrs. Elliot are doitz much to, promote d refined and cultivated taste in the line of their apecialitit s, and it is pleasant know that their efforts ara Satisfactorily apprecia ted by their fellow citizens. About, half-past two o'clock yesterday morning, officer Cutler, of the Ailegheny night police, found a man lying on the pavement on Pasture Lane, who appeared to be in an almost insensible condition. The officer took him to the lock up, and after he was confined a short tune he began to exhibit sympt,,ms of delirium tremens. Later in the day he became mhich better and informed the Mayor that he had arrived in the city two or three days since from Cincinnati, but would give no further infor mation of himself. His face"was badly scratched, In explanation of which he statod that he had been assaulted by twopien and knocked down a short time previous to his arrest by the:police. He had about-forty five dollars in his possession, which it seems strange his smsallants 'did not carry off. There beim no charge against him. ho was released in the afternoon and disappeared. OPERA House.—The engagement of Miss Nellie Germon and Mr. Robert Johnson has t been an unusually profiMble one here so far, and they appear to be Increasing In favor. " The "Sons of Liberty" will be re produced to-night, and we would advise all who have not seen Nellie the character of "Tim" to go by all means. Their en gagement, we regret to say, ends Saturday night. During next week wetwill be favor ed with the spectacular drama and ballet dadclug by one of the best troupes in America. LOGREPTIA.—This celebrated conjuror continues to draw crowded houses - at Masonic Hall.

The story we have to relate in nection with the above is the oft repea ts tale of misplaced confidence. Several mo t he since Fred.

The acquaintance grew into i timacy, which the'young man took adva tage of, and by professions of - love and . p mins to marry succeeded in accomp'ishing the ruin or the confiding young creature and then cast her off. The young lady, after several vain attempts to induce him to redeem his oft repeated • promises, 'ppealed to thelaw for that pro tection its justly - gratitw to her sex.

The Titusville Herald says : The price of petroleum has been steadily falling in the outside markets and on the Creek Since July, and on Saturday last sales were ef fected at 153,75, a decline from the ruling price of July of $425. -The decline on the Creek has been occasionedon part by an ad vance in freight charges to New York and Philadelphia of $l.OO per barrel. There has also been considerable local speculation which has had more to do with forcing prices dOwn than it is generally given cred it for. Tho falling off in the price of pe troleum on the Creek within the past three weeks and the present neglected state of tbe market have had the effect of lestening to a very considerable extent the demand for territory and unless leases aro situated in the best prO,lueing territory they are taken very slowly. New wells are not be ing onnmeneed as fast as they were two weeks ago, and from present appearances it seems that the tnaximunt nunilq , r of new wells drilling at any one period durimr the year will be reached &Irina this month. Should another rise in petroleum take place this year, it will be too late to give any strong impetus -to deveLpment, as only a few days of favorable weather for starting new wells now remains. _ .„. Contracts are now under negotiation for the mnstruction of about fifty thousand barrels of iron tankage. Caught Again The female pickpockets,. an account of whose proceedings and arrest we pub lished yesterday, were released on bail. It appears that after the information was returned to Court and the women committed to jail for trial, a gentleman oltere4 to stand good for their appearance at Court, and was accepted by the Mayor, who thereupon ordered the release of the women from custody Tuesday.-evening. Yesterday morning they had rtidnarrange ments G, leave town,and were about to take the cars for the West when they were re-arrested and committed for trial. The matter of their release was brought before the Court, when the case was imme diately called and failing to put in an appearance, a process was is-ued, upon which the second arrest was made. They will probably remain in jail now until the case is disposed of by the Court. . Public Reading. The Rev. Wm. Evans, one_of the most accomplished readersin this country, will give an entertainment in the Academy of Music, on Thursday evening, the 17th, con sisting in part of selections from Dickens.

Mr. Evans has a voice of wonderful power and cmture, and has attracted crowded hou-es in the principal cities in this country and in England. lie has recently abandoned the Theatre and accepted Christianity, and Is now the assistant pastor of the :Second Methodist Church, Wylie street. The pro ceeds of this entertainment are to be ap plied to fitting up his parsonage in this city. The public shluld appreciate the cause and improve the opportunity of being t pleased and doing good. Admissi n, 50 cents. The Weather Yesterday. Yesterday was unusually cold for theses son of tho year. A great many persons donned overcoats, shawls, dm., and found these articles very comfortable durlngthe latter part of the day and evening. Housekeepers commenced preparing for cool weather by unstopping chimneys, cleaning out grates and making such ether goner .1 arrangements as are necessary pre vious to - the lighting of the winter tires. We noticed in our journeyings during the even ing many "Happy homes. in which the light Othousehold area gleamed warm and bright." Revealing plcturfs of smiling, joyous fami ly groups—the embodiments of home com fort and enjoyments—which irresistibly at tracted the atte , .tion and were exceedingly pleasant to look upon. Explanation. Our readers are 'fainiliar with the . axrest of the German burglar, Delta, who was cap tured at his residency 'on pike street, In the Third ward, Allegheny, by the police. There are several families of that-name residing on • Pike street, and lest the names and parties should become mixed so as to place 'lnnocent 'partieN ' tinder suspicion, we desire to state that. the families resid ing at Nos. 27 and 42 respectively, on Pike street, are not in any way connected with - the arrested burglar, and were not even as iYith the chap previous his ar rest. We Make this statement in justice.to these families. who have always sustained a good• reputation among their. neighbors and actinaintances. HATS, CAPS AND FURS. Preparing for the Fail and Winter Trade at Fleming's Headquarters, 139 Wood Street. To live in Pittsburgh three months and all the while remain unaware that the city contains a representative Hat, Cap and Fur establishibent which puts to blush any found in the more pretentious eastern trado marts, would exhibit gross want of local pride and observation. But such is the case. The house of William Fleming, No. 139 Wood street; while justly taking front rank in the trade of the west, has no supe rior, if equal, in either Boston, Philadel phia or New York. True, others may be better fitted. oraxcupy handsomer build ings,, but in quantity and variety of stock none will surpass. We have had some. knowledge of the trade driven by, Mr. Fleming, and, thought his businessl had attained its greatest magnitude, but a visit to the establishment yesterday coilvitc,d us the increase of trade expected this fall and wilder has necessitated the lay ing in t - of an immense stock, which in value runs away up in' fig ' urea. We found the well arranged wholesale and retail departments fairly gorged with goods of the latest and most fashionable styles, embracing all the novelties of the season, many- of which are now for the first time introduced in the city. Mr. Fleming calculates_to do a very heavy - trade the cowing season, and why should he not? His name has ecome as familiar as a household word in every family for hundreds of miles around. Who in this section of country can think of hats, caps and ladies' furs without associating them with the name of this widely known and extensive dealer who has pre-eadnently stood at the head of theftrade for so many years, and ever sustained an enviable pop ularity? Indeed, we doubt very much. if there Is a boy or man in this region that has not at one.time or another worn a hat or cap bearing his trade mark, or hardly a miss or matron who has not figured in a set of furs purchased from him, so great have. been his sales and so numerous his patrons. Two leading features in the manner of conducting business at Mr. Fleming's have contributed largely to the success and popularity of the house, and strengthened its reputation. First, it has been the rule to keep nothing but the latest and newest styles, and all goods of the very' best ma terial and workmanship, and as to quality no salesman has ever been allowed to make any misrepresentation to deceive patrons, so that they can rely on getting everything which will prove in use or wear even more than is represented at the time of sale. Secondly, the house has always maintained the lead in low prices, from „ which course they propose never to depart, being content to do large business and se cure small profits. The latter is quite an important feature to purchasers, for it is no inconsiderable saving- to them to be able to economize from fifteen ito twen ty-five- per cent. on purchases. Probably the latter cause, the prevalence of low prices to both wholesale and retail patrons, has built up the vast trade of this great representative house. Another striking characteristic or management is the fact that at no similar establishment or in any other line of trade, are a more courteous, accommodating Znd attentive corpsof sales men employed- None need fear or hesi tate to visit Fleming's emporium to ex amine goods, as there is no danger of their I being insulted if they depart without being suited or making a purchase, and they are sure of being treated as well and kindly as those who buy thousands of d 'liars' worth. As we have before remarked, this housa has made the amplest preparation for the transaction of a very heavy trade, and deal ers who btiy to sell again, as well as retail patrons, should not fail to pay a purchasing or examining visit. The stock consists of all the new styles of hats and caps at d ladies' furs. The latter is very large and complete, and embraces all the various grades of Sable, Mink, Siberian Squirrel and Water Mink. in Eugenies, Cella! s, Boas Cuffs, Berthas and all the numerous teak; s of patent muffs, together with the- new styles of misses' furs. from the lowest to the very highest grades and qualities. The stock is now open and ready for the inspec tion of customers, and those who buy early will not only secure the advantage of line selection, but likewise obtain the goods at' cheaper prices early in the seaton than late, as the cost invariably advances as the season progresses. There is hardly any danger of our readers forgetting the place, as it is so familiar to all, No. 139 Wood street, sign of the golden hat. f Advice That Should Be Heeded. We desire to call the attention of the af flicted to the merits of Roback's Blood Pills, a purely vegetable cathartic, free from mercury and all mineral poisons, and undoubtedly the best remedy extant for the radical cure of nervous and sick headache, bilious disorders and all affections of the Liver and Blood. They are, as their name indicates, a Blood, Pill; they search the blood for dlseaseand strike at the very root, there by effecting not temporary but permanent cures. As a purgative, they are all that can be desired, being mild and safe in their operation and unquestionably one of our most satisfactory Cathartic Pills, and should be kept in every household, and, when ta ken in conjunction with Roback's Blood Purifier, are unequalled for curing Scrofula, Skin Disease. Old Sores, Salt Rheum, Dys pepsia, Erysipelas, Tumors, Eruptions, and all diseases arising from a disordered state of the blood or a disorganized state of the system. Try these medicines and you will never regret it. Ask those who have u-ed them, and they will tell you they are the best of medicines.

Liberia The report of the condition of affairs in this country, sent to Washington by Com mender Jeffers, of the Swatara, is very in teresting.. The evidences of success in the attempt to introduCe civilization into Africa are manifest to the ;visitor. The great want, however, is capital. while another obstacle has been that the gr ater part of the immi grants have not been agricultural ' laborers. Too many are from the Northern cities and of mixed blood, - and unable to stand the climate. They resort to trading with the natives for support. For this rea son Liberia does not raise sufficient suitable food to support immigrant population, and actually imports it from the United States. The Southern plantation laborers succeed well. Universal suffrage is considered in judicious, and only educated persons are al lowed to vote. Commander Jeffers thinks if any impression is to be made on Africa, it will be through this colony, which seems to be based on Christianizing and moraliz— ing principles, while all the other establish-. ments are based on trade in rum, gunpow der and muskets. 11A R R EED : HORNER —DOUGLASS.--On Wednesday even— ing, Sept. 1.6. h, 1868, at the residence of the bride's parent's, Mr. SIMPSON H.
