ed Schools, reported that the schools had
been opened at the proper time, with the
usual attendance, the average for the month
being eighty-eight. The Committee rec
ommended the adoption of the resolution
for the payment of a Janitrix for twelve
months instead of ten, as heretofore.
Owing to the establishment of the night
schools for the colored children,
the intro
duction of gas into the school building was

mended.

year: Principal, Miss Helen Renwick, at
a salary of Iwo per month; Medium, Miss
Theresa A, Ebert, at IESO per month; Pri
mary, Miss S. H. Haller, at $4O per month.
The communication was received and the
elections confirmed.
Several bills were presented and ordered
to be paid.
Mr. Francis stated that there was some
difficulty in regard Lathe collection oftaxes
in gi — Eighth watd.. The treasurer had
collected part of thetas, as a representative
of the city,while another tax collector of
the ward had collected as a representative
of the ward. The former had collected ten
mills, while the latter collected but eight
mills. The matter should be adjusted as
soon as possible, tei the treasurer was mak
ing up his yearly accounts, which would be
rendered before the next meeting of the ,
Board. ' 1
The President suggested that the matter
should be referred to the -Finance ,Coin.
mittee.
A motion to refer, the- matter to the Fi
nance Committe,-livith power to act, was
carried. , :_-. -
- -Mr. Eaton read a communication frint
the Committee on:Rolored Schools, giving
a history of the organization, from which
it appears that the schools wore organized
on the 15th of November, 1837, in the base
ment of the Baptist Church, on Robinson
street. Miss Matilda Ware was appointed
as the fint principal, and continued in that
capacity for nearly twenty-nine year&
when a higher salary called her elsewhere,
Prof. S. A. Neale way .then elected to
fill the position which he has occupied for
the last twelve years. Since their organi.
zation in the church building the schools
have been lOcated in various portioes of
the city, and finally became settled in the
commodious and' convenient building
which they at present occupy. The preient
building Is located on Webster street, Sec
ond ward, and haB been fitted up in at ad
mirable manner for the . purpose. ft bon
' tat= four. rooms, three of which are
furnished. It is well lighted and ventila
ted, and the furniture is of the best quali
ty. The play-ground is of suitable size,
and the whole affair is one which entirely
meets the wants of the colored populati,n,
and will, in all probability, do so for fift en
years to come. The enrollment of pu Its
forthe past year was 278, with an average
attiiiidanoe of 178. The fifteenth of Nov m
bar in each year is alwaysobaerved as an
niversary, to commemorate the organiza
tion of the schools. '
The following appointments of teachers

THE HOLIDAY QUESTION.
Mr. Barker moved that the various
schools be dismissed one day during the
County Fair.
Mr. Eaton amended that Friday be the
day appointed for the schools to visit the
fair in a body.
Mr. Brown opposed the motion. He
thought that those who wished to attend
the fair should do so, and those who wished
to attepd school should have the , schools
open for them:
After somefurther dissusaion, the motion
was lost.
Mr: Swi speci al that the question be re
ferred to i committee to report for
future operations.
Mr. Boyle amended that no school be dis
missed for a holiday without previous no
tice frotn the. Board.
Mr. Brown thought a etandard rule would
not cover the question. The schools should
be open whenever My Per .eent. or the
scholars were in attendance.
Mr. Boyle o s' amedment not being sec
onded, the riginal n motion was put and
adopted. • - -
Me. McConnell, of the Eighth ward, asked

allowed such tax-payers as shall have paid
the school tax before the first of November.
Considerable discussion ensued on this
motion, after which it was carried.
On motion, adjourned.
Chapter of Misdeeds—Row Democrats do
Things.
In a ew items, published yesterday, we
'referr: t . to several instances coming inci
dentall • to our notice of how at least a por
tion of he Democratic moving figures op
erated,- hile going the rounds the day_be
fore, as•aulting, insulting and outraging
decent wherever and whenever the least
opportu ity presented. We have no de
sire to d the participants in that dernim
stration he least wrong, and will correct
anythinwhich may be misstated or aggra
vated. he formation of the procession in.
7 e.l.lleghe y, in the first place, was a precon
certed ovement, intended to create a
breach f the peace, because the people
over th re are overwhelmingly against
them, a d it. is a notorious . fact that the
delegati na - from the Bull Run district and
the Firs
and Twelfth wards, of this city,
threaten d before they reached Allegheny
that not ne of their number should be ar
rested, t at they would rescue 'them if it
necessita ed the sacking of the Mayor's
office, though they they were ever so
guilty of misconduct. Now to the facts:
In front of Colonade row on Federal
street some little girls cheered for Grant,
in response to cheers from tile ranks for
Seymour and Blair. The brave mud-larks
of the old Third ran out of the ranks, mis
taking, however, the source of the cheer
ing, and pitched into an old man named
Clokey, from California, Washington coun
ty, who came to the city to see the proces
sion. He and his wife, an elderly lady of
over sixty years of age, *ere quietly watch
ing the pageant (?), doubtless appreciating
the display, as Mr. Clokey himaelf trains ,
in that school of politics. He was knocked '
down, beat over the head with torch-hand
les, kicked, and to add to the climax of
this abuse, one Hugh Ward, an offi
cer, struck the old man over the head
with his sword, and it . is further stated
against this ponderous . specimen of manli
ness, that he knocked down and struck the
old lady. Be this as it may, Mrs. Clokey •
was terribly abused by. this blood thirsty
gang. At this point the police made an
arrest of a man named John Fox, one of
the party,7and with great difficulty suc
ceeded in bringing him to the lockup. In
the disturbance old man Clokey lost his
pocketbook containing over, two hundred
and fertyf dollars. This loss can readily be
accountefor. The old man and:lady were
conduCte to Carson's, on Ohio street,
where th y were stopping, and' are receiv
ing all th attention possible.
/
The fat of iho arrest of Fox, coming to
the ears Of Hugh Ward, he headed a col
umn en ..Aa.y.se to. effect his release. The
rescuing colurim were kept at bay along
the street by a detachment of the police
force until the top of the steps leading to
the Mayor's office was reached. At this
point the excfied Democrats were repulsed
by additional reinforeements of the police,
who- pulled mysterious weapouii out of
their pockets, 'leveling and taking
deadly aim at the rescuers. Not
being used to facing this kind - of
argument the great mass of them turned
tailiand got out of reach as quickly as possi
ble. A number of determined follows, full
of fighting whisky remained, but they Were
soon felled: It is -stated at this juncture
-the police were ordered to charge, and
charge they - did. 'Not less than twenty
Democrats wore felled In a twinkling, and
almost as soon secured in the tombs, the
mace having done the . work.
— At another point in the .procession some
little boys helloed for Grant and a portion
of the same crowd made a rush to redress
the grievance, when officer MontgoMery
tried to preserve quiet, and for his trouble
he was set upon by the rowdies, beat with
stick.. end cut ovor the head with a saber
by a fellow named Ward, the same individ
ual who struck Mr. Clokey. Ward was
amoi.g thasearcested,; previously referred
to. A charge of aggravated assault and
battery has been preferred against him by
the officer, and in addition to the payment
of a fine of 825 and costs for attempted res
cue, he is held to bail in the sum of ;1,000
for trial. •
Officer Dan. Graham, a very good Demo
crat, in his efforts to preserve peace and
save a number of little girls from the vio
lence of. the rowdies, was attacked and
beaten over the head with torch handles
and clubs. His bead has some very large
ly developed bumps. Yesterday morning,
' on Federal street, near Swartz'sdrug store,
a great -burly fellow on horse hack ro
, sponded to a faint cheer for Grant from a
little girl by inflicting a severe gash on her
cheek with his whip: He rode on unmo
leated, proud of his prowess.
On Ohio street, in front of John Bash's
tobacco store, a woman named Mrs. Gill—
by the way, a very good Democrat—in some
way offended a horseman who had dis
mounted to takea drink. It is possible she
was a little spunky, and showed fight. She
was kicked In the stomach and knocked
down by this cowardly brute.
At the Columbia Engine. House a num
ber of the ',members of that company had
'their wives and 'sisters assigned places in
their ball overlooking the procession. Oc
casional cheers were given for Grant by
some of the ladies, when a number of mad
larks left the ranks and attempted to go up
stairs to punish the indignity. It .1a need
less to say that Columbia's sons wOuld
protect ter daughters, and the assailants
were met at the threshold by a wall of. Re
publicans, who never turned tail upon the
enemy whore the rebels were braver than
this invading column. A fight ensued,
pistols were tired, and the "muds" retreat
ed in disorder.
Further on as the old Third ward delega
tion was standing in line on St. Clair (now
Sixth) street, in front of the Sherman
House, a fight occurred between one of the
members of the delegation and a man on
the sidewalk. Mr. Lowry, proprietor of
the house, stepped out among the ()Combat
ants and attempted to. restore order. The
members of the delegation misunderstood
his movement,' and at once turned upon
him. He ran into The bar-roam elosely.pur
toned, but succeeded in making his escape.
His pursuers then commenced to destroy
the bar fixtures, and their efforts in this
direction were an entire success.' . Panay.
bottles were broken,mirrorsehattsred, and
: windows demolished. About twent'' "dol
lars in postal . currency and noteslehich
Were in the money (drawer were taken by.
he crowd. The house was finely illamina 7
d at the time of the atiack, and the,lin !
erns-and flags with which it was decooded
suffered considerable damage, v
It is idle to' enumerate. We have not
the space. The prooessions, day and night. ,
were remarkable for the .views displayed,
'more frequently on inoffensive children
and women, and old men.. _ i
We will not close- this ficoount, wit kbut
giving great credit to the Allegheny pollee,
acting under Mayor Drum's orders, to
preierve the peace, Air their determination
to do their duty, - under, the most trying
circumstances. To their devotion to duty.
in places where it was as. much as a -man's
life to differ u let alone make an-arrest, they
battled against odds, and,' as far as their.
force would permit, saved the city froth
greater disorder and riot than did prevail.
Toe following arrests were made for the'
attempted rescue and disorder at the Alle
gheny Mayor's erne° on Monday night.-
They had a bearing yesterday morning,:
and theft• cases were disposed of as follows:
'billiard Nuke, 125 and °okay committed'
to jail. Hugh Ward, $26 and coots: he paid
his! fine. David Clemens,
Pa*. Cpnnelly,
James Mitchell, Pat. Gill and Peter Martin
each paid twenty-five dollars fine and Wits.
George Gibbons, Richard Haley, and John
Fox iiidefault of tine were committed for
thirty days to jail.
Bloody Third Still, Raiment:
As ._a number Of the Grant and Colfax
Chiba ,avert marching to the Republican
meeting on the corner.of,i' el ulton street and
Webster avenue laatteV" . e' ng, they neces
sexily passed through'a portion of the Bull
Run Dlstrfc:. The head of the column had
scarcely reached the foot of Wylie street
when symptoms of,an assault were fear
fully prevalent. The denizens of the . Bull
Run district lined the sidewalk, and almost
filled the ktreet, scarcely allowing room
for the Clubs to march in four ranks.
They hosted, groaned, cheered tuna offered
every indignity possible to the_ moving col
umn, who passed on quietedly, taking
everything good humoredly. This served
to make tire crowd more boisterous and
demonstrative, and the rear of the c•dunin
approaching, they mustered sufficient cour
age to • attack it. The Fourth ward
littsburgh,.. and First ward, Allegheny,
were on the extreme left, and of course
suff red the brunt of the pressure.
A ' bower of stones were thrown from
par es on the pavement, the missiles
strl ing and injuring siveral members of
the club,. the crowd the while gradually
closing upon the moving column to inter
rupt its progress, and cut off a portion of
the delegation. The members defended
themselves aswell as theycould against such
odds, resisting the pressure and marching
in close column, and fighting their way
through. ,Word finally reached the head ,
of the column that the rear of the proms
sionwas being attacked, and immediately
Capt. Alex. P. Callow - , of the Fourth ward,
Allegheny, Minute Men, ordered his men
to about face and charge \ double quick up
on the enemy. The order was readily
complied with, and for a little while
things looked lively. The attacking party
gave way before the charge of the Tanners,
retreating, yelling and groaning like de
mons. The order to halt was not given un
til the ohs :hied been drh en several
squar an a number of them severely
injure . he Second ward, Allegheny,
Grant Skirmishers also about laced, march
ing double quick in support of the Fourth
trr..cv
ward; but they were not actively engaged.
The entire column then marched to the
meeting. .
It appeared, however, from what we can
learn, that the roughs were not satisfied
with their prowess, and while the meeting
was in progress, mustered ip still greater
force to renew the assault on the return of
the Clubs homeward. Fortunately for the
good name of our city, we were doubtless
saved a bloody exhibition by the Grant
Clubs taking an entirely different route.
Word was also sent to Mayor Blackmore
of the intended assault, and ho immediate.
ly responded in person, supported by a
squad of police. His presence and counsel,
with the police to support, contributed
severely to prevent the intended outbreak.
We would take this occasion, however, of
suggesting to our boys at no time to pro
voke an assault, but when assaulted de
fend-by an understood movement and well
defined plan of operation. This is the only •
redress, and is your privilege.
Allegheny City Torchlight Procession,
A meeting was held on Monday night, at
the rooms of the Fourth Ward, Allegheny,
Tanner Club, on Sandusky street, by the
delegates from the Tanner Clubs of the
different wards of Allegheny City, with a
View to getting up a torchlight processor
before the October election, for Allegheny
City. The meeting wes largely attended,
there being in all over forty delegates, rep.
resenting every ward in Allegheny City.
T. A, Myler, Esq., was called to the chair,
andß. H. Davis appointed Secretary. The
Committee unanimously decided to have a
grand torchlight procession throughout
Allegheny City, on the evening before the
St'ate election (October lath,) of all the
Grant and Tanner Clubs of Allegheny City,
and as many of the Grant and Janner
Clubs and Republican organizatioffs, also
the butohers,draymen, and firemen ofAlle
gheny and Pittsburgh and the surrounding
boroughs and townships, as could join in
'on that evening. General Charles Barnes
was chosen Chief Marshal by acclamation,
and Capt. H. S. Fleming as ChieforStaff. It
wasiunderstOod that the procession . should
consist of five divisions, two from Alleghe
.Dy City, two from Pittsburgh and one Iron%
the boroughs and townships South of
the river. Committees were appointed to
select Division Commanders to designate
the route, on invitations, and printing. The
Committee then adjourned to meet on
Tuesday evening at the same place. The
officers of the procession, the divisions and
positions to be assigned the different Clubs
and the route, will beannounced at as early
a date as practicable.
R is intended by the Republicans of Alle
gheny city to make this demonstration the
grand one of the campaign, and they are
already entering into the preparations for
it which cannot but insure success. The
Bair ladies of our sister city are lending
their assistance also, and propose giving a
handsome silk flag to that ward or election
district which turns out on the evening of
the procession the hugest number of men in
proportion to the Republican vote polled on
the day, the presentation to be made at the
Rink. All the neighboring clubs and as
sociations will be cordially Invited to at and join in the demonstration. The
Allegheny City latch strings will be out.
There will be a brilliant display of fire
works along the route of the procession,
and it is expected that the streets of Alle
gheny City, so frowningly dark during the
evening of the Democratic procession, will
be brilliant with the Chinese lanterns,
flags and decorations with which her citi
zens can be so profuse in decorating their
houses along the routes of Republican pro
cessions.
Arrestof a Thief and Recovery of Stolen
Goods
We stated several weeks since that a
large quantity of wearing apparel, consist
ing of several overcoats, dress coats and
pantaloons, and also a goldheadod cane,
had been taken from the office of J. A. Em
ery, No. 68Fifth ayenue. The stolen prop
erty jointly belonged to Mr. Emery and
his brothers. The attention of the police
was directed to the robb ~ and officers
Mesmer, Gumbert and Herron desig
nated
~ to work up the ase. Suspicion
i
attached to a man named hn W. Steven
son, who visited . the thee 'occasion
ally, who always wore pretty fair
,clothes and was without apparent means
of- support: A description of the man
was givint to the officers. A week or ten
days since officer Messner's labors were re
warded by the recovery of the gold-headed
cane at Do Roy's, having been pawned by a
man answering to the description given to
the officers by Mr. Emery. Three chiries
of litroeny were preferred against Steven
son, but notwithstanding the vigilance of

Frank Moffat, a Philadelphian; was shot
*ad dangerously wannded on- Monday
morning, brone of the participants in the
Democratic procession. It seems that Mof
fat was riding in one-of the cars of the Cit
izens Passenger Railway, on Penn street,
when the procession came along. He
cheered for Grant and Colfax, which can=ed
a discussion, when one of tkode in the ranks
fired a revolver, the ball taking effect in
his shoulder and inflicting painful and
dangerous wound. He was carried into a
house close ny where he remained at last
accounts in a very critical condition. " The
party who tired the shot was not arrested,.

procession of Monday night, they carry the'
war, into their own stronghold, and on
Tuesday morning commence a systematic
pillaging and des; oiling of the stores of
citizens known to them as unfriendly in
politics. They smashed the show window
of Dr. Jos. Abel's drug store, corner of
Fifth avenue and Grant street. Coyle
Bro's. shoe store windows were also smash
ed and the goods partially ransacked. They
then attacked ithe jewelry establishment
formerly kept by Mk. W. Wiley, but now
by Messrs. Biggs & Hoyle. They burst
open the door, and smashed furniture and
goods to the value of WO. A man named
Gustave Gravner was struck in the side
with a boulder and seriously hurt in con
nection With the affair, and other parties
were more or less injured during the pro
gress of the attack. Information was made
before Mayor Blackmore, charging Thom
as Grogan, John Murphy, John McCarthy,
John Bradford and Bernard Gallagher with
riot. Mr. Gravner also made information
against Grogan for felonious assault and
battery, and Richard Jenkins, also connect
ed with the jewelry store, made another in
formation against Grogan for malicious
mischief, in breaking the window and
smashing a valuable looking glass. War
rants were issued and Grogan, Bradford
and Gallagher were arrested. They wi.
have a hearing this morning.
Our genial friend, Alderman McMasters,
was pleasantly engaged on Monday. While
seated in his cozy little office he was starvled
out of:an agreeable reverie by a summons
which required - his immediate presence in
the county boarding house, better known
as the county jail. In obedience to the
mandate he quickly placed himself within
its massive portals, when the reason of the
sudden call became apparent. Charles
Cole, of a coal hue, had met Eliza Hackett,
of the same complexion. Meeting, they
had loved, loved wisely, and, as the sequel
proved, well. Now these twain desired
the performance of that peculiar ceremony
which of two makes one. The obliging
'Squire. ever ready to accommodate, made
haste; in the twinkling of an eye it was
done, and Hackett. no longer Hackett, but
Cole, wasi receiving the congratulations of
her friends in the private parlor of the
courteous Warden Scandrett.
The happy ceremony over, the worthy of
ficial, thoughly stroncly opposed to the doc
trine of "greenbacks for bonds," was never
theless compelled for once to forego his
principles, and in fact the doctrine. By
some process of reasoning he brought him
self not only up to this point, but retired,
feeling that in some cases at least it was
the perfection of honesty and justice.
Amusements. r
TEri OPERA Horse.—There was a small
attendance at the Opera House last even
ing, the people being too much engrossed
with political affairs to devote due attention
to the drama. Mr. Mark Smith, as clever
an actor` as we have had here for 'many
a day, sustained the character of Sir An
thony Absolute in the standard comedy of
the "Rivals" in a manner which fully con
firmed the high encomiums he has won
elsewhere. The other parts were very well
sustained by the company, and altogether
the.play was put on the stageln a highly
creditable manner. This evening "London
Assurance will be presented, and we hope
to see a much larger audience in atten
dance.
Unneighborly.
Mrs. Emma Richey and Mrs. Mary Evans
are next door neighbors in South Pitts
burgh. Mrs. Richey states that Mrs.
itvans has been in the habit, for a month
past, ofemptying the contents of an article
of furniture on her front steps.
She was only detected in the act on Satur
day night, Mrs. Richey having forsaken for
the evening her downy conch to keep watch
and ward for the hitherto unknown offen
der./ Alderman* McMasters issued a war
rant for the , arrest of Mrs Evanson a charge
of malicious mischief. She was appre
hended and gave • bail for a hearing to-day
a 3r. N.
• Coroner Clawson yesterday morning held
an inquest on the body of an elderly man
named Samuel Black, a resident of Roches.-
ter, who fell dead at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Market street. It appears that
the deceased came to the' city on business
on Monday, and was on his way to the Al
legheny depot intending to return on the
nine A. m. train, when 'he fell dead as sta
ted. The body was taken to the residence
of hisaister, No. 77 Grant street, where the
inquest was held, and a verdict of death
from apoplexy rendered.
Instructive Amusement.
William Eyler has a wagonmaking es
tablishment corner of Cherry and Virgin
alleys. Mr. Eyler states that the brothers
Oiler and two other lads, named respec
tively MoVerron and Goggins, amused
themselves on Sunday afternoon by de
mollshing a considerable portion of. the
establishment. The windows, doori, sev
eral wagons, &e., &a., bear marks of the,
hand of destruction. The two Oilers were
arrested and gave bail for a hearing. • The
other two have not been arrested.

by the extremely low prices at which the
finest and most fashionable styles oUladies
furs are being sold at the great first class
house of William Fleming, No. 139. 'Wood

preciate real bargains when offered; and
they also appreciate fine qualities of goods,

the great'and important features 'that have
drawn to this house the trade ofall.classes
of the community. Whilst old fogy houses
are grumbling and growling about dull
times and customers being scarce, and what

for inferior goods, this great representative
Hat. Cap and Ladies' Fur House is constant
hthronged with customers, both in the
oolesale and retail departments, who ful
ly appreciate the favor of being able to save
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. on their
purchases, and at the same time get fresh
made, new goods of better material and of
newer and more desirable styles than can
be had at other houses where they are un
willing. to sell unle , s they can gain big
profits on old and inferior goods.
