Mass Meeting in the Diamond—Four Thetis--
and .RepublicanS in Couueli-LAddress by
Hon.iewis Barker; of Maine—Great En
. thuisiasra.
As the Campaign progresses, the deter
mination of the people to crush out the
element of discord which has for the. Fait
eight years agitated the . public mind, and
labored so assiduously to destroy the Gov
ernment, is becoming .more and more ap-'
Parent. Each succeeding day as the ap
pointed time for the great battle which is to
decide, the fate of the nation draws near,
the enthusiasm increases and will doubt
less continue to increase , until the 13th of
October, when the decisive battle will be
fought and the old Keystone State will
speak lin tones of thunder against Demo
cratic !treason by giving a majority's° large
as to: completely discourage and forever
silence all traitors to the Governinent.
That the great tide of public opinion is pre
eminently in favor of General Grant is a
fact indisputable, and it is fully proven by
the enthusiasm of the people on his behalf.
Every demonstration of the Republicans
throughout the land has been an acknowl
edged success, and thousands upon thous
ands assemble at every call for a meeting.
The meeting in the Diamond, Allegheny,
Saturday night, although only an improrntu
affair, was unprecedentedly large, and the
enthnslasm of the massels unbounded.
Long before' the hour appointed for organ
, izing the meeting, the multitude began to
assemble, and by half past seven o'clock,
the entire square of the Diamond, upon
which the speakers' stand is erected, was a
dense mass of human beingsa perfect sea
of heads of merrand women, who, notwith
standing the uncomfortably cold atmo
\sphere, turned out in their might, the
women to aid with their presence as the
men will with their votes, to defy treason
and drive it from the nation.
The Germania Turner Band being in at
tendance entertained the vast multitude
P with excellent music until the meeting was
organized.
The meeting was called to' rder by John
A. Myler. Esq., who announced the follow
,ing officers : ,
President—Capt. H. S. -Fleming.
Vice Presidents—CaPt. A. H. Phillips,
Prof. L. H. Eaton,. Jas. H. Sewell, Robert

Mr. Fleming, on taking the chair, in a
brief address thanked)l the meeting for the
honor conferred upon him by calling

.favored the meeting with a song.

after cheer going up for the gallant State
from whence he came, followed by cheers
for Grant and Colfax, until it was impossi

thusiasm had subsided, Mr. Barker
took the stand, and after thanking the
meeting for the flattering reception they
had tendered him, proceeded to address
the vast
y'amg lu consequence of a
temporar affection of the throat Mr.
Barker was exceedingly hoarse, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that he could
Make himself heard except by those who
stood% near him. He several times
declined to speak, but the cries of the crowd
to "ge on" induced him to make the effort.
The hoarseness 'gradually wore away as he
progressed, and he continued ,to speak for
nearly two hours. His address was one of
th most able that has been delivered In
this county during the campaign. The
speaker displays great versatility of argu
ment, and is full of wit and humor; in fact,,
he possesses all the characteristics requi
site for a popular orator, and is decidedly
one of the most thoroughly posted men in
the country. He demonstrates by practi
cal illustrations every point he discusseS,
making it-clear and distinct to his hearers.
At the lose Of his address the meeting
adjourne with three cheers for Maine,
three for he .speaker, and three for Grant
and Colfax:

commit rape, disorderly conduct and Suit).
ty of the peace. She alleges that several
nights ago the accused came to her house
at a late hour and demanded admittance,
threatening her in the most ,violent_man
ner if she refused. She did refuse, and
thenhe besought her to come down and
talk with him, promising to go away peace
ably if she would do so. she consented,and after a little conversation he went
away. On Friday night she says he came
back and made the same promises. Again
she opened the door, when he pushed vio
lently past her, and, drawing a dirk knife,
threatened to kill her if she made any
noise or resistance.
After gaining admittance his conduct was
of the most brutal and beastly character.
The lady by strategy succeeded in getting
out of the door, when 'she raised an alarm;
which brought several persons to her as
sistance, and among 1 them were °dicers
Hayden and Cooder. The. ruffian at
tempted to escape, bUt was 'brought to a
halt by some one or the neighbors who
"shied' a brick at hint, striking him on the
head: The otileers then took charge of
him and conveyed him to the lock-up,
where he remained until Saturday morn
ing, when , after a hearing ho was fined
twenty-five dollars for disorderly conduct,
and in default of $2,000 bail was committed
to . jail on the other charges for trial.. If
the charges against this fellow be true no
punishment could be severe enough , for
• him. We hope ho will get lull justice.

An affray occurred in Dilworth, Porter 6r,
Co's. rolling mills, South Pittsburgh, on
Friday evening, which, but for the inter
ference of one of the proprietors, might
have been attended with serious consequen
ces. John Lutzgas, the millwright of the
works, got into an altercation with one of
the rollers nam - ed Wm. Jones. LIAZgLIB
was standing on a ladder, about twenty feet
from the ground, at the time, and Jones
started up to bring him down. Upon reach
ing Lutzgas' osition, Jones received
an a lo p
on the arm from a heavy mt, d
also cut on the side of the head with a
chisel, nearly severing his ear. He hasten

A Magnificent Time-Piece for the Alle
gheny Valley Railroad.
Careful railway,officials throughout the
.
country and here at home recognize the
grave responsibility resting upon them,
that the time whereby is operated the run
ning machinery of the roads - in their con
trol is accurate and true to a nicety. A
failure to attend:to this all-iMportant mat
ter has, in more than one case, resulted dis
astrously, terrible accidents being sure to
follow in the wake of negligence.
Where the business of a road is large and
the quantity of Tolling stock to be moved
every moment of the dayarid night is pro.; i.
portionately heavy, rend ring the framing
of sdhedules a math matical labor of
no ordinary charaCte , it is a mat
ter of necessity hat the time I
in which the locomotiv is made course his
iron path should not vary a single second
in the hour. Human life and thousands of \
dollars' worth of property depend on the
precisionof the clock that quietly performs
its labor in the central depot under the
watchful care of the Superintendent and
train master. Every etch in the pocket
of the eiagineer and co ductor, every fixed
clock in the cabin o the locomotive, is
taught to keep steady arch with the. soli. I
tary clock to whose p Isations the whole
road is operated. Let 'he central monitor
become deranged and fail to do its work,
and all the watches an clocks of the trains
keep time at randoint nd there will be the
dashing of engines 41:1 o engines and that
terrible, rapid runn ng around curves,
over . bridges, . throu h cuts, and along
pncipices to ma e up for time
10. The Mechani m of the clock
manufacturers has ke t pace with the de
mand for a perfecta d infallible measure
of time for raii*ay nrposes, and to-day
our leading railway offices each boast of a
regulator which is no more liable to regis
ter time beat than is the water of the
roaring Niagara to cease plunging itself
over its bed of rocks. On Saturday we
were afforded a full idea of the develop
ment in this mechanical science, having
been permitted to look into the wondrous
machinery of a mammoth time piece just
furnished the office of the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad Company by
those standard
time keepers, Messrs. J. R. Reed & Co., No.
68 Fifth street. This marvellously fine
specimen of diandiwork, of course, came
from America's prided watch and clock
manufacturing sompany, Howard S. Co.,
Boston, and is 6, monument to the excel-
lenca and exquisite finish and perfection of
their work. Of its furniture we need not '
speak, save to say that it would grace and
r
adorn the finest parlo in the land. Toe
works are as fine as those of a chronometer
watch, and since Galileo first put int. w prac
tical use the oscillation of the pendulum as
a time measurer, no more perfect piece of
delicate machinery, on so large a scale, has
been put forward in a clock. The wheels
are of line steel and brass, the
pivots . set on hard resisting jewels.
and the entire works are perfect models of
neatness and beauty.. The pendulum is a
mercurial one, so that it will not be affected
by either the heat of summer or the blast
ing frosts of winter. 01 course, the cost of
this elegant instrument was large, but the
Allegheny Valley Railroad Company. al
ways careful in looking after the welfare
and safety of passengers, ordered the very I
bust time register obtainable, and recogniz-
lug Messrs.' J. R. Reed t.t. Co. as standard,
authorities in railway time, entrusted them .
with the order. That they have fully dis
charged their part of the contract is amply
evidenced in the splendid piece of work
manship which now graces the office of
the company. The new clock will keep
Reed's astronomical tune and will .be in
variably correct, as observations are daily
made, and the least deviation from correc f t- 1
ness even to the nicety of a quarter o a
second, is at once detected. Messrs. Reed
et. Co. have made time a speciality and they
have now the honor of not only measuring
the .hours and moments for the entire city,
but for the majority of railways centering
bore. This is high testimony of their infal
ibllity in, such ,natters, but is no more

The meeting then adjourned. Seymour, and has epic ii sale signature of
Treasurer Spinner in its usual place at the
--- bottom,right hand side. On the back it
contains a !•promise to pay the bondholders
in greenbacks, including 5 20 bends," which
is the Democratic doctrine. The object in
sending this note to General Spinner was to
ascertain whether it was not a violation of
the law establishing the national currency,
_.
and Mr. Spinner referred the matter to Soli-, A
eltdr Jordan, of the !Treasury Departr
ment, who is of the opinion that all
suck imitations, for whatever purpose .
issued, are clearly violations of the law,
and all parties concerned .in issuing
or trafficking'in them are liable to fine and
imprisonment for so doing. General Spin
ner has written a reply to the gentleman in
Blair county, in which he sets forth these
facts, and eloquently shows that if Seymour •
and Blair are,elected these unauthorized
emissions will unquestionably supersede
the genuine national- currency, which will
become valueless. The Blair county gen
tleman states that large numbers of these
imitations have been circulated in western .
Pennsylvania and OP:lining States, and that
many simple minded farmers have been im
posed upon and received them for mthatoney,
being tolir by nterested parties they
were just as good as greenbacks. General
Spinner has also received information that
this villainous imitation has been largely
circulated in the South among the colored
people, and passed among them in immense
quantities, the unsophisticated blacks being,
told that it they vote for Seymour and Blair:
these notes will pass as money, and b
ate as,
good as greenbacks to buy corn, potoes,
or any other necessaries of life. This is
one of the most disgraceful modes of elec
tioneering ever attempted in this country,
and the strong arm of the law will be in
voked to crush it out and punish the origi
nators if they can be reached.—]rash.,Co r.

Time Changed.
On Saturday last the Allegheny Valley
Railroad Company promulgated an order
setting all the time pieces by which their
I I
trains are run to agree with the splendid
Howard Regulator, just erected in their
depot by Messrs. J. R. Reed S. Co., the well
known jewelers. Henceforward the road,
will use Reed's standard time alone, in as
do
i
nearly all or the railways centuriug our
city. Readers who have occasion to travel
by railway will make a note of this item
and set their watches to sures
agree with
ea ßeed's
regulator or the "big bell," which m
the flitting moments for the city as it also
keeps the infallible record of the Fifth
street establishment.

Freedom of Speech
The overthrow of the rebellion insured
not alone the perpetuity of the Union. It
determined that henceforward the Constitu
tion shall - be observed so far as guarantee
ing in one State all the rights of citizenship
to every one coming from another. Free
dom of speech is one of those-rights. Prior
to the war it did net exist in. the Slave
States, and whoever expressed views differ
ing from his neighbor was liable to receive
a coat of feathers, to e ridden on a rail, or
to be driven out of th State. Northern pa
pers were thrown out of the mails, an one
subscribed to , an anti -slavery sheet at d
his
peril.
The people of the late Confederacy expe
rience much ditliculty in making up their
minds that all this is Mow changed and the
Southern States have now entered urive
pon a
new era. The sooneT, however, they ar
at this conclusion and act accordingly, the
better it will be for,all concerned. Freedom
of political and religious opinion and ex
pression will and mt et be enjoyed and main
tained hereafter from the St. Lawrence to
the' Rio Grande. Let any community or
class of citizens beware from acting on any
different supposition 1. • -

tucky would not give ninety thousand to
the rebel ticket. "I would not touch it,"
was the reply—"there is no telling where
the devil this stampede will stop." Theun
easy feeling among the Irish Catholic De
mocracy is an other symptom. The refusal
of the Irish People, of New York, a weekly
which circulates More heavily than any
other excepting thb New York Ledger, to
support Seymour, followed by the loud
growls of the great Irish Catholic Freeman's
Journal' have created quite a stir. Much
as we have been indisposed to believe that
any considerable portion of that class of
our adopted citizens could be brought to
vote against thatders who have gulled
them so long, contingency does not
seem to be so remote. Now the tide is all
against Seymbur, and thereis neither in
ducement to spend money nor to risk jail
in his behalf. There is mothing so danger
ous as the habit of false calculations before
elections. Men may commit mistakes; these
are natural; but when Democratic papers
deliberately misstate figurts, and hide the
weakness of their own cause, they tempt
their credulons followers into'the most dam
aging courcei. Hence the heavy losses to
honest Democrats who put up their money
on Maine.
Ix THE South the impression prevat s
that General Grant surrendered to Lee at
the Appomatos Court House. Colonel
Breckinridge, of the Confederate army, in
his speech at Owingsville, said they "pro
claimed a general amnesty," to all their old
foes. It is a fresh thing for paroled prison
ers of war to grant their conquerors a gen
eral amnesty.
