The announcement that the Grant Hus

in no way interfered with, although the
horsemen marched through the "Bull Run

Last night, we witnessed! one of the moll,
creditable and imposing processions of the
campaign,: the newly organized "Grant
Miriam " Regiment turning out with4wo
superb brass guns obtained from the
Secretary of War through the influence of
two of oar leading citizens. Company "A "
of the Regiment, numbering some one hun
dred and thirty men, Under command of
Capt. S. A..M'Farren, and Lents. J. P. La
gan, D. Dunseath and J. P. Johnston, formed
on Water street and proceeded to Allegheny,
' where, on North Common,, it was formed
with several other companies into a regi
ment. and under command of Col. William
Blakely of the cavalry, and Major W. R.
Stokes of the artillery, the iinposing caval
cade moved in line of procession to this
city. All along the route tkere were evi
dences of enthusiasm manifested, and the
horsemen were greeted vii , ll cheers at;
every prominent point, while at some
places fireworks and illuminations were
offered in honor of the occasion. After
parading the principal -streets, giving
cheers at the various newspsper offices and
honoring the residence of Mr. Houston of
this journal with cheers and a serenade.
the cavalcade was brought to a halt on
Water street, where a salute in honor .of
the glorous victories achieved in Vermont
and Maine, was fired on the Monongahela
wharf. When through firing the salute
the line was re-formed and marched
through!the "Bull-run District," down to
Liberty street and from thence to the
corner of St. Clair street, where the men
were dismissed with three time three
cheers for Grant and Colfax.

The procession was highly creditable and
will not be without its effect on the present
campaign. The music of Ihe occasion was
furnished by the members of the Second
ward brass band, who were seated in•
beautiihl chariot wagon drawn by four
splendid gray horses. The "Grant Hus
sars" have not yet thoroughly completed

regiment will be organised to participate in
the Convention.

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

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.

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.

MORTGAGES PILED. .
Eight morty ages were left for record same day.
From the Oil Regions.
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.

superior, to that of Inc author himself. Mr.
Evans has a voice of wonderful power and
cmture, and has attracted crowded hou-es
in the principal cities in this country and

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. Sold by all druggists

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.
