Aggravated Assault and Battery.---John

He alleOs that Jack camo into his saloon,
on High street, where Mrs..Milherron was
reeping 'bp, and attempted to go behind
the counter, and because she refused to al
low him to do so he went out on the street,
picked on a brick, re-entered the house and

Alleged Larceny.

Alderman Humbert a few days since,
charging E. Hall and his bar-keeper with '
larceny: It 'is alleged by the prosecutor
that he *wit into'; a drinking saloon' on
Smithfield street 165 t by Hall, and was
taken up stairs •whore he laid down and
went to sleep. When he entered the house
he alleges he had in his pocket kfl2o, and

Was no one ikthe house when 11,3 entered
but the accused, and that they were there
the next morning._ A warrant was issued,

and held to bail for a hearing. We know
nothing about the prosecutor, but it is al
leged that ho was very - drunk when he
cane into the house and that ho was not
molested or visited by any one after ho was
taken np stairs. • The man who will make
a practice of getting drunk and sleeping in
houses of that character deserves to lose
his money.

while she and her husband were sitting on
the steps together, he repeated the charge,
whereupon she called Small for the purpose
of refuting the slander. Small, not know

Patriotism Tinder billiculties
The Demeeraoyof the Third ward, under
the leadership of the "nObleAt RoMan of
them all," hied to the - woods and chopped
clown an' enorm,us hickory tree with
branches and all, and with much vexatious
trouble had it hauled to the city for the
fun and glorification of having an old time
pole raising. They could think of no plata,
better for its erection than at the corner of
Fifth and Grant streets. Thither they
hauled it, but the scaffolding about then
spire on St. Paursiprevented their working
to an advantage ' expecting every in in ute to
have a brick tumble on their devoted
heads. They Dien held con versat on
and determined to erect the sturdy
embl , m tho unterritied midway
between Grant and Cherry alloy,
o the Cathedral pavement milli.
They took up a few bricks and were
making the necessary -excavation for the
base of the pelo when the 'Trustees of the
church made their appearance and threat
ened terrible things if they would per
severe in ther labors, as religionand hick
ory did not well blend together. The faith
ful fellows pleaded and argued all to no
purpose, for the church authorities had
taken a determined stand and could not
think even for a moment of granting the
privilege begged. With wearisome march
the pole committee took up_their hickory
and crossed to the other side of the
street and proceeded to make- another
excavation, but we: e 'met by the owner Of
the premises, who ordered them off in an'
uncermonious hut' determined manner.
They again htgged their forest burden to
the corner of Cnerry alley and Fifth street,
and sunk their- spades there for another at,-
tempf.' But the fates were against them,
for the owner of the house in that locality
bade them • desist. They', did so. With
much mortification they carried their pole
tenderly up street,lpurpcising to raise it in
the neighborhood of the old' battery, but
sick and tired, ' their strength gave
way, and the proud emblem of their
party rolled from their shoulders Into the
Fifth avenue gutter and there remained
prostrate all day long yesterday to haunt
good Derneerats who happened to passj.hat
way. We ventured to ask one of the coin,
mittee whore they would plant the pole to
day, and received the very impolite though
unstudied answer: h-1, sir, where
there are no Radicals."

Alleged Fraud.
An information was made before Alder
man McMasters, Saturday, by Charles
Krano, charging Charles Schilllor with
fraud. It appears that tho prosecutor keeps
a boarding house on Liberty street, and
that the accused "formerly boarded with
him. Subsequently he changed his place
of boarding, and it is alleged by the prose
cutor that Schifflor was indebted to him in
the sum of eighteen dollars, and not hav
ing the Money necessary to liquidate the
dont ho left an over coat, dro:s coat and
other clothing in charge of the Alain, as se
curity for the payment of the debt. A few
days after this settlement took place, the
accused returned to the house ' .and, the
proprietor being absent. ho took his cl.th
ins; and departed, and for this ho is charged
with fraud. He was arrested and held for
a hearing. -

United States District Court
(Before Judge 3leCandlese.3
The case of Robert A. Colville, Adam
Cosgrave and William H. Sturgeon, indict
ed at the May term of Court for distilling
without payment—of special tax, without
giving bonds, and in a forbidden place, was
called up. The defendants were tried in
June, bus the jury failed to agree. Satur
day they withdrew the plea of not guilty,
and entered that of guilty. Before passing
sentence, Judge McCandless addressed
them as follows:
"The act of Congress under which you
have been tried is severe in its penalty, im
posing a tine of,not exceeding five hundred
dollars, and imprisonment not exceeding,
two years. On the first trial the jury failed"
to agree. At the approach of the second
you very properly withdrew your plea of
not guilty and plf-aci guilty. This law was
designed to prevent trauds upon the Inter
nal Revenue of the United StateS, and pro
tect honest manufacturers in the legitimate
pursuit of their business.
"You set up a still in the third story of a
wholesale warehouse, located on one of the
principal commercial streets of the city of
Pittsburgh, and there manufacture whisky,
which was conveyed through the premises
of one of your number to the purchasers of
this contraband article.
"Fortunately for the Government, they
had a vigilant InSpector, who arrested you
in your criminal proceedings, and brought
them to the attention of the Collector and
the Dist- ict Attorney; otherwise your pro
fits would have been large, and to that ex
tent the Government defrauded.
"I have had many cases of a similar
character before me here and at Erie and
Williamsport; frOm the mountain regions
of this Judicial District, where poor far
mers, the descendants ef a pa 4 age, and
wholly unacquainted with modern legisla.:
Lion upon the subject. have set up their
stills, and, after tho custom of their fathers,
made what they c,nsidered necessary for
the harvest field and horno consumption.
With all such I have been as le iient as the
law would permit, and although the max
im is "Ihat ignorance of the law exeuseth
no man," these people rarely see the pub
lished Acts of Congress, and if they did, in
some instances they could not understand
them. 'With greater intelligence, and oc
cupying respectable positions in this com
munity, you have violated the law for
gain, and if the Court supposed it would
be better vindicated by a longer term of
imprisonthent, it would be its solemn duty
to impose it. There is one count in these
Indictments demanding a fine of not less
than one thousand dollars. - Upon that I
will suspend sentence, and will proceed to
sentence upon the others. Having all
plead guilty, you have admitted that the
officers of the GoVernment were right in
your arrest, and accept the justice of any
sentence within the limits of the law
which the Court might impose; but, as
.Congress, by - its recent legislation, has re
rnoved the great incentive and temptation
to fraud, and as no public good would
result by detaining you long from your
businessi and families, the sentence of the
Court is that you, Wm. li. Sturgeon, pay
a tine to the United States of one hundred
dollars, and be-imprisoned in the coalition
jail of the county of Allegheny for and
during the loran of twenty-f ur hours;
That vu u, Robert A. Colville, and yoil,

Tilted Statcs of three hundred dollars ' and

Meeting at Weg 'Newton, Pa.—Speech of
General Leaure
Corrc,pondonco t sbu rctt Gazette
WEST NI:WT(3N, PA., SOW.. 19, 1568
We have just had a large meeting, corn
posed of men of all parties, to listen to an
address from General Leasure, of Newcas
tle, Pa. The General had been attending
the meeting of hiS old -Roundheads" at
Washington, Pa., on the 17th, and some of
our citizens brought him here to talk to
the so:diers of the vicinity on the, issues
of the present campaign. Our boys erected
a splendid Grant and Colfax pole on Main
street, in front of the "Leasure House,"
kept by the General's brother, and they
called on the General for a speech. In a
few words he set before them the necessity
of starting right in life, and particularly in
politics, warning them against the mistake
of uniting with any po:itical party declin
ing to its fall on account of its record. The
boys received it in good part, and we will
profit by the advice.
After dark a stand was erected on the
reet and about five hundred of our citi
zens, of both parties, assembled in the open'
air to hear what a soldier had to May to sol
diers on the present issues. A Westmore
land boy himself he had a claim to our at
tention, and well he rewarded us for get
ting him here. Many men of all parties
had a desire to see the man whom they used
to know as a little boy, and who had mad.
so pure a record for himself in C0M1C20.021
with the army of the Union.- The General
disclaims being a party man in any sense of
the word, hut when he finds his old friends
en one side, and all of his old enemies on
the other side, and the old issue Once more
made, he has no alternative but to act once
more with the men concerning whose pa
triotism and Loyalty there can be no two
opinions. For nearly two hours he held his
audience in breathless silence, except when
ringing sentence proc aimed the metal
of the old.r.kltountlhead," and brought a
corresponding. response from the crowd.
I have never seen here,
or elsewhere, so
attentive an audience, and one better enter
tained, and when Ito concluded men of both
parties united in approval of the substance
of the speech, and the firm, yet kindly,
manner of the speaker. It is no disparage
ment to pelitical speakers to say that Gen.
Leasure, speaks snore directly to our hearts
arm judgments, and less to our passions
and prejudices, than any one we have ever
listened to.' We could see to-night how it
was that he so thoroughly mastered the
hearts of his soldiers in the service, for
those who were present to-night assure us
that, whenever he pleased, ho could set
them nerTectly wild with enthusiasm. We
must have him back in this county, for he
speaks to make votes, and he does it, and
we need votes here.
Body . Recovered
Saturday morning Tames Miller found
the body of a boy floating in tho Monon
gahela river, opposite the mouth of Saw
Mill Run. The bo iy was taken ashore and
was identified as that of Jacob Schuster;
one of the boys who were drowned near
the Monongahela suspension bridge, on
Tuesday inst. It will oe remembered that
three boys went ont into the river in - a skill,
with strips of timber for oars. The current
was very strong at the time, and the boat
was carried against one of the piers of the
bridge and capsized: all three of the boys
being drowned. The "father of young
Schuster fully identified the body found
this morning. Coroner Clawson held an
inquest, and the "ury found_ a verdite, of
accidental death. The deceased was thir
teen years of age.
