PHILADELPHIA, October 2, 1868.
The city has been all day a scene of pleas

rections were filled with men, women and
children. All classes make it a holiday.
"The recommendation of the Comnlittee that
She citizens decorate theirares and.dwellL
ings was faithfully carried,4ut. In Chest
nut street there has been no such exhibition
of colors since the fall of. Richmond. Pri
vate houses along the route of procession
were decprated, and in-many instances the
-displays were quite grand.
The procession formed on Broad street
and commenced moving at eleven o'clock,
the line headed by Gen. Owen, with his
staff mounted.. The war Governors-in ba
rouches followed, including Governors
Burnside and Curtin. Tne "Boys in Blue'
ofnearly every ward were largely repre
sented.
Among the delegations were two hun
dred prisoners, each carrying a small fiat;
with the name of the rebel prison in which
they had suffered.
A wagon followed w;th the survivor
from rebel prisons, who were unable t&
walk.
The Tenth ward carried a tattered flag of
tileS2d regiment.
The Fiftenth ward regiment was headed
by a veteran carrying an old knapsack that
had done service with theiarmy —a blanket
on top—with the motto, "Our Carpet Bag."
'The city delegations composed the first
div,Von, and made an imposing appear
ance, the clubs marching in sold, column,
ten abreast.
Next (same the second division, with
Governor Geary at its head in a carriage.
This comprised the interior. of Pennsylva

10,000," and advised the !Joys' to "Close up
the ranks for a final charge."
The Residing delegation had a large pic
lured lantern showing the horrors of An

• The fifth division contained New Jprsey
delegationa, headed by veteran officers
mounted.
The sixth division comprised the Massa
- -chusetts delegations.
- - The procession occupied; an hour and a
tialLin passing a given point, and was in
• all respects a grand spectacle.
As the procession was passing Sixth and
1 Pine Streets this afternoon an assault was
made on the .Baltimore delegation. A pis
tol was fired and in the Struggle that en.
-sued George Sayer yvas carried away wound
. -ed. The wounded man is,lsupposed to have
been one of the assailants .I He is reported
dead.
THE NIGHT PA ADE.
The parade to-night far exceeds the pro
cession of to-day, as all the "Invincibles,"
- "Berry" and other campaign clubs • turned
routs which
they divot do this morning.
The, various campaign clubs formed on
the lower section of Broad street, and com
menced to March about nine o'clock. An
immense,clowd witnessed' their formation,
and along the route, which extended from
Christian to Girard avenue), the sidewalks,
steps and windows were occupied with ap
plauding spectators.
The man wounded this afternoon is nam
ed George - Sawyer. He iwas removed to
- the hospital' where he lies in a critical
condition. He is a Republican, but he was
•on the sidewalk and not iri the procession.
_ The torchlight proceSsion reached Third
.and Chestnut streets at half-past ten
, • o'clock, and was an hour and a quarter
passing a given point. The city clubs acted
as escort to the visiting Boys in Blue, and
.conducted them over the route to the meet-,
mg in front of the Union League House,
where the whole body passed in review.
Among the mottoes exhibited on the ban
ners and lanterns, was 'one portraying a
.huge whisky bottle, empty, with a like
ness of F. P. Blair on theinside and in
scribed: "Here- lies the Whisky bottle
empty, as we go marching on."
Another asked whether Tom Florence,

4488 notes "carpet bagger."
Another had a Pilgrim on Plymouth
-Rock as the first "carpet bagger."
Another "No rebels in these ranks."
One ward:club had a huge rolling ball on
;a wagon.
The 28th ward exhibited, "This infant
ward cries out forUrant and Colfax,"
The "Invincibles" turned out one thou
sand strong by actual count._ The. "Cam
.paign Club" was nearly as large, while
'each ward had independent Clubs.
During the whole evening Chestmit street
Twits packed from Broad to Third street with
'people passing from .one direction to the
other, leaving scarcely room for carato pass.
'the streets
the crowds that lined
'the streets through which the procession
pasSed, a large mass of people assembled
in frolit of the Union League House, and a
meeting was organiml, with Colonel For
ney asTresident, at the main stand. He
said yeterans who conquered the rebellion
clustered by thousands •in the city of
the Declaration of American Independence
to conquer peace. They meet without arms,
-4mt are stronger than an army, for though
they haVe. laid 'aside their bayonets they
are equippedd-wlth their ripe convictions;
they have come here for no purpose of re
venge, for magnanimity-is the first attribute
of the-soldier. But they have come for the
Purpose of protection to themselves and
their country, and to secure this they begin
by being generous to their enemies and end
by being lust to their friends.
—He proceeded to review the former Re
publican political trials and spoke eulo
isticallv of the conduct and appearance of
the great number of for Mer soldiers and
sailorS of the 'Union who had assembled
in Philadelphia on this occasion. lie
concluded as follows: "Even rebels,
unconvinced by every argument of
reason and of mercy, will not resist 'the
inevitable logic of inevitable success, and
they who fail to make good their pledge to
Grant, the conquering General, will see
the folly and danger of contending against
Grant, the eighteenth President of - the
United States."
General Sickles, Governor Geary and
others also addressed the meeting. The
speaking wes continued until the arrival of
.the procession, when it passed in review,
each club endeavoring to rival the one pre
ceding by the precision of their marching.
The scene was grand, being brightened by
the display of fireworks and other demon
stration,, of Welcome. ,
The- Boys In Blue, after the line had
passed the assemblage, dispersed with
cheers for Grant and Colfax.

Outpouring of the Loyal Masses—Un
precedented Brilliant Display.
By special dispatch from Washington,
Pennsylvania, we learn that the grand mass
convention of, Republicans, held' at that
place yesterday, was the most brilliant and
imposidg affair of the kind ever held in the
county. Delegations from every district
in the. county and surrounding sections
were present and participated, anti the ex
citement ran very high. The daylight pro
cession, four miles in length, was a mag
nificent affair, and elicited the highest en
comiums from the thousands ofipectators
who lined the route over which it passed.
Fully five thousand persons marched in
the ranks, bearing numberless flags, ban
ners, etc., etc., upon which were inscribed
humorous, patriotic and stirring - devices,
all of which were more than usually ap
propriate.
At the conclusion of the procession, the
vast concourse adjourned to the Fair
Grounds, whore a meeting was organized
and addresses delivered by Hon. Mahlon
Chance ' of Ohio; LewLs' Barker, of
Maine; Hon. George V. Lawrence, member
of Congress from the Twenty-fourth Dis
trict, J. B. Donley, Republican nominee for
the place about to be made vacant by Mr.
Lawrence, and a number of others distin
gnished for their eloquence as well as pat
riotism.
In the evening a grand torchlight pro
cession took place. The turn-out for this
affair was immense, and the wildest en
thusiasm prevailed. The display was gor
geous in the extreme, and far surpassed the
expectations of the most sanguine.
At the conclusion of this feature of the
Convention, a monster Meeting was organ
ized at the Court House, which was ad
dressed at considerable length by Hon.
Lewis Barker,ln a speech replete with
keen wit, cutting sarcasm, and eloquent
and convincing argument.
The meeting adjourned at a late ( hour and
closed the exercises of a Convention
which, taken together, was an unprece-
dented and brilliant success and will long
be remembered by the Republicans of
Washington with feelings of exultant pride
and pleasure.

APITAL
ttsburgh Gazette.:
CITY, Oct. 29; 1598,
Last evening a few of the personni friends
of Mr. William Cahoon, conductor of the
Erie Express on the Pittsburgh. Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railway, between
Pittsburgh and Ne:Castle, presented hint
with a very beautiful gold badge, as a
token of their regard for him as a gentle.
man and an officer. At the request of the
donors, Rev. John Douglas, D. D., made
the presentation address, in the course of
which he paid a very high, but well de
served compliment to theigeneral and subor
dinate officers of the PittAburgh, Ft. Wayne
and Chicago Railway for the skillful, en
lightened and liberal manner in which they
manage the road, which, he had no hesita
tion in saying, is now one of the best eqUip
nod, safest, most important and thoroughly
officered thoroughfares in the country, as,
in connection with the great Pennsylvania
Central, it affords the most easy and rapid
communication between the Atlantic sea
board and the great Northwest. Dr. Doug
lass said the Company had shown their
wisdom and regard for the public safety in
nothing better than the care with which they
elected their conductors, with a number of
whom he enjoyed a personal acquaintance.
Their position was a responsible and,
in many respects, an unpleasant one. But
- so far as his personal observation went,they
discharged their duty with a full apprecia
tion of their responsibilities, both to the
company and its patrons. On personal
grounos, it was to him a matter of extreme
pleasure that the generous .donors had
made him the medium through which Mr.
Calhoun was to receive the beautiful badge,
as through his kind and accommadating
offices he had been .enabled to send coin
munications to the press at a much
later hour than he could have done through
the ordinary channels of transmission. He
knew Mr. Cahoon to be one of those officers
who could be firm and decided without be

but the sentiments also of the liberal
friends in whose - name he presented the
beautiful badge.
On the . obverse of the Usage there k the
word "Conductor," and on the reverse the
following inscription, "Presented to Mr.
William' Cahoon by a few of his friends,
October 2nd, 1868.
Mr. Cahoon made a very touching and
appropriate response. Words failed to ex
press his gratitude to his friends. for their
beautiful Oft. He was proud to learn that
he had gained their confidence and esteem,
and hoped he would be able to wear the
badge with honor to the Companv, the
donors and himself.
The presentation took place at the dining
rooms of Mr. McGinley, on Fifth avenue.
,A fter the!addresses;the donors entertained
Mr. Calmjn, and a few invited guests, at a
very tine oyster supper. which was spread
iu McUinley's best style. At the supper
table, Mr. M. Seely read a very tine poem;
dedicated to Mt.. Cahoon, for which we are
sorry we have not room. The affair was
a pleasant one, and honoTable to all con
cerned.
A prominent feature of the recent Repub—
lican daylight procession was the display
in the ranks of the Second ward, Alleghe
ny, delegation, a conspicuous part of which
was the splendid turn-out of the ever loyal
and ' efficient Friendship Fire Company.
The latter especially braved the rain which
seemed so persistently to wage war against
the demonstration, pouring down heavy
drops as though all the panes had been
knocked out of the windows of heaven by
the stone-throwing Democrats. Capt. Al
exander Wilson one of our most esteem
ed follow citizens of Allegheny, had
charge of the delegation as Chief
Marshal, with our genial friend .Captain
W. E. Stewart as chief aid. Tile gallantry
.and manly bearing of the Friendship mem
bers, reflected credit to the Ward they rep
resented and in order to make them feel that
their efforts in the good cause were fully
appreciated, Captain Wilson last even ing
honored them, together with a large nu tu
ber of the representative gentlemen of the
ward and members of our city press, with
a sumptuous banquet at the ever pop
ular Morgan House, cornerof Pasture Lane
and Taylor liyenue. There sat down to the
table about one hundred guests and we
need not say that the supper prepared fully
sustained the high reputation of the hotel
and that of its attentive and accommodating
host, G. C. Lighteap, Esq. After partaking
of a rery hearty meal, the cloths were
removed and wine introduced. John Mc-
Donald, Esq., was called to preside
and sentiment, speech-making and song
followed. Capt. Wilson made a very neat
address, highly complimenting the Friend
ship boys and formally tendering his thanks
to them as a body for their participation in
the late procession, and for thamany acts
of loyalty which have marked their history
as an organization. Appropriate addresses
were also made by Messrs. Moreland, Reed,
McDonald, Stewart, McGraw, Barnes,
O'Neill, and others. Capt. Jas. Hunter, in
an eloquent speech, full of beauty, replied
on behalf of the Friendship Fire Company,
expressing gratitude for the high -compli- ,
mews paid them by the several speakers,
and especially to Mr. Wilson for the mu
nificent manner in which be bad entertain
ed them. The meeting then adjourned af
ter the singing, in their unequaled good
style of execution, of several patriotic
songs by the Second Ward quartette Club
of Allegheny City, under the leadership of
that master of vocalization, Prof. Slack.
So ended one of the most pleasant affairs of
the character we have ever attended.
Another Torchlight Procession.
The Republicans of our sister city of Al
legheny, are moving unitedly with the view
of getting up a mammoth torchlight pro
cession, to take place on Monday evening,
October 12th, in that city. The City Exec
utive Committee have the matter in hand,
and their efforts will unquestionably be
seconded by all the clubs, committees from
the latter having been appointed almost'
generally to confer together at the Club
Room of the Fourth ward, on Monday
evening, at which time definite arrange
ments will be made. The various Clubs of
this city, and other adjacent localities, we
understand, have signified their intention
of participating, and we doubt not but the
affair will rank second to none. Let the
Odd work go on. •

A Juvenile Stumper
A little boy of some ten years of age deliv
ered the following campaign oration in one
of our public schools, yesterday :
We live in very important times. Great
political questions are now to be settled.
In the month of November the people of
the United - States will be called upon to
decide who shall rule over them, f*r the
next four years. There are two tickets hi
the field. On one are the names of Grant
and Colfax; on the other of Seymour and
Blair. The people will promote their own
interests by electing the former. What
has Seymour done for the country? Noth
ing. He sought to destroy it by aiding the •
rebels in the late war and encouraging the
riots, in New York. Recollect those who
opposed the draft and murdilred innocent
men, women and children are his
"friends.'' But the gallant Grant saved
the nation. He won not less than seven
teen battles, captured hundreds of thous
ands of prisoners and took thousands of
piece; of artillery. He caught Rebellion
by the throat and never let it go till he
ushed it to naught. He saved the coun
try. add is acknowledged- to be one of the
best soldiers of he age. The people should
honor their Military Saviour. Blair and
Seymour refuse to pay an honest debt, and
wish another war to destroy the Govern
ment. Grant and Colfax wish to pay the
national debt according to the terms of the
bargain, and have perpetual peace. Then
in the name of honesty—in the name of
honor—in the name of peace—in the name
of the Republic, let us; elect Grant and
Colfax.
— Splendrd uol dlfik:
The Catholics of Allegheny city evince
creditable enterprise in the character of the
buildings they erect for church and school
purposes. At the corner of North and
Liberty streets there has just been erected
one of the finest school structcres in either
of our cities. It fronts on Liberty street
and runs through to Washington, the lot
being one hundred by one hundred and
fifty feet, and the buildinm sixty by one
hundred and forty feet. The building is
three stories high, and constructed in a neat
and ta-teful modern style. The first floor
contains beside the broad hall of entrance,•
six large, well lighted and ventilated class
rooms, furnished in .the very best style.
The second story is used as a chapel, ex
clusively for the children of St. Mary's
Church, and is handsomely furnished.
The third floor is a fine hall, in which a fair
is now being held for the benefit of St.
Mary's Church, an occasion which we trust
will draw thousands of patrons, as the at
tractions are great. The building as it
stands cost, exclusive of the ground on
which erected, fifty thousand dollars, and is
highly creditable to the congregation of St.
Mary's. About seven hundred scholars
are in daily attendance at the school,which
is free to all.
Fourth Ward, Allegheny, “Minute Men:"
This Club having accepted the invitation
of the Sixth ward, Allegheny, to attend
their announced meeting last evening, on.
the corner of Beaver avenue and Locust
street, nothing daunted by the inclenient
weather, mustered in considerable force,
and preceded by a brass band, paraded
through several of the streets to the point
designated. Of course the weather would
not permit an out-door assemblage, and the
meeting was accordingly postponed. Speak
ing of the Fourth Ward Club, we would
simply say that it would be difficult to get
up a better equipped and drilled body of,
men than is comprised in this Club. They
have nearly rive hundred Voters on the roll,.
the greater portion of who* turn out when.
the weather is favorable.' We learn from
Capt. A. P. Callow that the Club has ac
cepted an invitation to participate in the
demonstration this evening in the Twenty
third ward. -
Rally at the East Liberty Wigwam.
The meeting at the Republican Wigwam
in East Liberty, on Thursday evening, was.
an enthusiastic affair every way. The large
building was, crowded to its utmost capac
ity, including a large number of ladies.
The meeting was organized by the appoint
ment of Major William Frew. Swim were
sung by the East Liberty Glee Club,, under
the leadership of Professor Lawton,
and
also by the Lawrenceville Glee Club, Ad
dresses, covering the issues of the cam-•
paign, were made by Judge-Shannon, Gen.
A. L. Pearson and Mr. Cracreft,. a. young
mechanic, all of which were received en
thusiastically. The Tanners from the Thir
teenth and Sixteenth wards, with a brasa
band accompanying, were present, contrib
uting considerably to the enlthesiesm and{
eclat of the dexnonstration. •
The .. 4 Unterrilledfl at IMtabeth
A grand outpouring of the unnterrified"
of Elizabeth took place last evetii.ng
'wheezy fife and split drum fUrnished the
dulcet strains for the occasion, and after
the band had paraded the streets for hair
the evening, recruits were obtained to the
number of one hundred, ranging in age
from eight years upwards. They marched
in grand array to the residence of Mr. Thos.
Perron. Tom. has the reputation of being
good on a treat, and 'this filet formed thd
principal reason for the visit and magnifi
cent display. On this occasion he was in no
degree backward, as the presence of sever--
al empty beer kegs subsequently testified.
After finishing the beer the crowd dispersed
in a drizzling rain, neither dry inside nor
outside, but gloridusly enthusiastic for Sep.
mour and—Beer. .
