numbers of flags and lights, tastefully ar
ranged, making.ayery handsome general
effect.

ly,•and stretched across the street from the
buildhag to Henry Miner's, were graceful
festoons of Chinese lanterns, making livery
beautiful appearance. •
The Mail was very fine, and attracted
much attention.,
LIBERTY AND PENN
Hare's Hotel, on Liberty street, was bril
liant in the extreme, its entire / surface be
log brightly dotted with lanterns. Hun
ker's confectionery store was also a bright
object of attention. All along the line of
the street the bright lights and the red,
white and blue were lavishly displayed.
Pitcairn's livery stable, opposite the Union
Depot, was very fine. Tne Republican stand
at the corner of Penn and O'Hara streets
presented an exceedingly beautiful appear
ance. Above O'Hara, the 41ecorations on
Penn street were numerousland beautiful,
•and the street, to St. Clair,[was very bril
liant. Few finer decorations were seen
than those of Dr. Dickson's' drug store.
Private residences and business houses
along the street were very beautifully or
namented.
ST. CLAIR STREET.
On St. Clair street the scene was exceed
ingly, beautiful. The Fruit Houseonear the

very fine.
IN ALLEGHENY
.Allgheny evinced her enthusiasm in the
cause by welcoming the procession with
an illumination, which, for brilliancy and
oompleteness t has never been equaled in
her annals. From the time the ad
vance guard of the line left the St.
Clair sired bridge, and passed up Fed
eral street, it moved through a perfect
blaze of light brilliance. Public buildings,
hotels and private buildings were all illu
minated to an extent hitherto unknown in
ourihder city, and as the procession passed
along it was greeted with vociferous ap
plause. Fireworks were displayed and ev
ery demonstration of approval was lavished
upon it. On some of the streets the dis
play was particularly fine, among
the most noticeable of which was
Federal ,and Lacock streets, and Cedar and
North avenue. The display at Gray's Row,
on Cedar avenue, and that at the residence
of Mr. J. .H. Sewall, on North avenue,
were exceedingly fine and elidited the
highest encomiums from all - observers.
Time and space both fail us, however, in
mentioning in detail all the attractions, and
we must content ourselves with merely re
ferring in these general terms to the afrair.
RECAPITULATION.
There were in the ranks between eight
and nine thousand voters, about one-sixth
of whom were mounted. The line of
. pro=
cession was one hour and twenty minutes
passing the GAZETTE office, which would
show it to be over four miles in length.
There were probably thirty thousand peo
ple on the sidewalks and at the Windows of
houses along the route of procession, many
of whom came from the country districts to
• witness the display. Upon the whole It
was the most successful affair of 'the char
acter ever witnessed in Pittsbnigh, and

The Republicans are making great efforts,

SURRA.TT CABE
After the conclusion of the arguments in
the Surratt case to-day, Judge Wylie re
viewed the case and said; "As it has been
presented, the offence as charged in the in
dictment amounten to giving aid and com
fort to the enemy by entering into a con
spiracy to abduct and murder the late
President Lincoln. The offense was a mis
demeanor and not a felony at common
law. It was not reason according to the de
finition of other felony, and therefore was
not covered by the President's proc
j
lamation of pardon and amnesty
of July last. The , Court, for reasons
elaborately at forth, sustained the de
murrer of the DistrictAttorneyrt a plea of
counsel for defendant. Mr. Merrick, for
prisoner, asked leave to amend the plea to
put it in better shape to meet the technical
olVections of the Court, in order that it
might stand in proper condition for review.
This request was granted by the counsel
for the Government and Court. Judge
Wylie said counsel for defendant must be
ready with the amended plea to-morrow

the trial.

GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, September 23.—The Standard
this morning has an article on the Chinese
Embassy,.which had just arrived. It com
ments on the public indifference to the Em
bassy in England as contrasted with the
enthusiasm with which they were every
where received in America, and says that
.all the Ministers have to do is to see that
they have genuine Commissioners to deal
with, and not merely foreign mediators be
tween England and China.
Mr. Reverdy Johnson, American Minis
ter, in reply to an address presented by the
TONVO Council of Leeds, Saturday, said there
were but few differences between England
and the United States and these were un
important because they could be amicably
adjusted without tarnishing the honor of
either country. He hoped for a speedy set
tlement of these differences and should
devote all his energies to that end. Hp
would regret that if either in coming to an
agreement should suffer in Its Own opinion
or that of the werld. The United States
would certainly do nothing to detract from
its own reputation, and he knew that Great
Britain would not tarnish her honor.

What Aided in the Success of Last Night's
Demonstration
That the torchlight demonstration of last
night was the brilliant success It proved to
be, is due in a great degree to the business
foresight and energy of Mr. John W. Pit
tock, opposite the Postoffice. In the past
week he has had between fifty and sixty
seamstresses employed in the manufacture
of flags, banners, guidons, capes and caps,
while he has exhausted the resources of
our turning establishments in the produc
tion of lamps. In the caps and capes he
purchased the oil cloth from the factories,
and was thus enabled by manufacturing
himself to meet the tastes or the different
clubs. During the past week he has sup
plied to Grant and. Colfax clubs four thous
and nine hundred outfits. His sales of flags
of different styles, from the miniature ban
ner to the thirty foot flag, amounted to over
thirty thousand: of Chinese lanterns he sold
between ten and fifteen thou-and. With
these statistics in view, the reader will have
no difficulty in appreciating the extent of
last night's jubilee.
Mr. Pittock has still a large supply of
campaign goo& on hand. In two hours
notice he can equip five hundred tanners
with cap, caps and torch.

This is the grandest ,political day ever
witnessed in Lawrence county. Notwith
standing the unpropitious condition of the
weather, early In the forenoon the delega
tions from various townships began to
come In, decorated with bidges, mottoes,
banners and other devises. By noon the,
spacious streets were literally overflowing.
The larger part of the houses, _ public and
private were tastefully decorated, and
added greatly to the general effect. So
much enthusiasm and heartiness was never
•
before witnessed.
Mettings were held in the afternoon and
evening to unprecedented concourses of
people.
Ex-Governor Tod of Ohio, and .Es-Gov
ernor Curtin of Pennsylvania, were the
chief attraction among the speakers. These
were supplemented by Gen. John W.
Fisher of Lancaster, W. H. Burleigh,,

The aggregate vote of this county will be
largely Increased over the poll. of four

estimated at 600 votes at the lowest. But

Notice Extraordimuy.
The Weed Sewing Machine Company
take special - Pride in announcing, after
more than two years of patient thorough re
search and unremitting labor, the success
ful completion of their new manufdcturing
machine. The principle In its construction
is new, novel and entirely unknown in its
application to such an , instrument, and will
excite the curiosity, as it must challenge the
admiration of every sewing machine critic
and lover of mechanical art. It has neith
er "cane,” "cog wheel," "compound lever,"
or a. succession of "revolving cracks,"
runs almost 'noiselessly, with the least speed,
has a capacity of nearly twenty inches under
the drum, is of immense power, and destined,
they fully believe, to create as great and fa
vorable a sensation as has their new "Fam
ily Favorite," whose history has been one
continual series of triumphs since its advent
and first public appearance as a competitor
with others at the Great Paris Expositicin
in June, 1867, where it was justly awarded
the highest medal bestowed upon Ameri
can Family Sewing Machines. But it is no
stranger to' Chia community and encomiums
of ours are superfluous.
The New Manufacturing Machine, as well
as the "Family Favorite" are always on ex
hibition to everybody at the Agency at 112
Grant Street.
AdTice 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 disease and 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 disordeted state
of the blood or a disorganized 'state of the
system. Try these medicines and you will
never regret it. Ask those who have used
them, and they will tell you they are the
best of medicines. Sold by all druggists
everywhere. TTST
The Diamond Front.—The citizens of Al
legheny are all, doubtless, aware-of the
many advantages offered to housekeepers
and others, who are in want of first•elass
articles of groceries, at the original Dia
mc•nd Front, No. 164 Federal street,- Alle
gheny. The large and frequent sales of
this establishment prevent the possibility
of goods becoming stale on the hands of the
firm, consequently customers are always
sure of receiving a fresh and first-elass arti
cle. It is only necessary for those who are
not acquainted with these facts to visit the
establishment and see for themselves.
The Gormley Homestead on Centre ve
nue.—This tine piece of property will be
sold, on the premises, next Monday -after
noon, by A. Mcllwaine, Auctioneer. It is
divided into seven large lots, two of which
embrace the excellent improvements. The
E , itnation is one of the finest in Minersville,
now Pittsburgh; seated on Centre avenue,
already a loading avenue of our city. For
particulars see Mcllwaine's auction adver
tisement.

Who Made' Wart
Oh, Copperhead, 'why continue to insult
the common sense of mankind by the con
tinued iteration and 1 reiteration of the
threadbare and profitless lie that the "Re
publican party brought on the war." Mr.
Lincoln was elected in November,lB6o..
He was not inaugurated until Mareh 4,
1861. As a private citizen he could not, be
tween the above dates, wage war' much.
But see what the rebels, encouraged by
Northern Democrats, did meanwhile:
They captured Fort Moultrie and Castle
Pinckney December 20.
Took Fort Pulaski Jammu 3.
Seized the Mount Vernon arsenal, Ala
bama, with 200,000 stand of arms Janu
ary 2.
eized Fort Morgan, Mobile, January 4.
Fired on the Star of the West going to
provision Sumter, January 9.
Captured Forts Jackson and St. Phillip,
below New Orleans, January 10.
Captured Pensacola Navy and Fort
Mcßae, January 14.
Took Baton Rouge . arsenal, January 18.
Seized New Orleans mint and Cu - stoml,
House, January 20.
Seized Little Rock arsenal, February 2.
SO Mr. Lincoln found a war already made
to his hands as soon — as he took his place in
the office to which the people had called
him—war full-grown and lusty. He had
his choice to do his duty as the Executive
head of the Republic, or lie down in his
tracks and let his country die. He was
about as much responsible for the war as
for the massacre of St. Bartholomew. Cop
perhead, you know this; then why lie so?
4 Alabann Democracy.
The Defnocracy. t:lf Franklin county, Ala
bama, at a late meeting, passed the follow
ing resolutions
Resolved, That we regard the laws of
Congress, known as the "Reconstruction
Acts' as unconstitutional, unjust and ty-
rann cal, and subversive of every principle
of re üblican liberty, and. we distinctly
avo now that, submitting under protest td !
an i
1 ,
gorable necessity, we will use all the ~
lawfu means in our reach to free ourselves
from his great wrong.
Res Iva, That we denounce as false and
eland roue the charge that we desire to re
ensla e the black race; on the contrary, we
pledge ourselves to protect them in the
peaceful enjoyment of life, liberty and
property, and to aid them in all proper ef
forts tb educate and elevateir race. But
we wish them distinctly understand
.1),, e
that any attempt on their rt to enforce a
claim to social or political etittality, will be
considered a declaration of hostility to us,
and w ill be resisted to the last - extremity.
