TEE card of 4. 31. Lo'sa, Esq., in an
other coitunn, will attract Republican at
tention. It is a prompt wind manly zefu
tation of a - dishonorable !charge against
the Republican County Convention.
AT Tim urgent solimtation of two
members of the Joint jCommittee on
Resolutions, the majorit of that Com
mittee on Tuesday consented to amend
the eighth resolution by inserting the
words . ; '"by his ExcelleUcy Joy W.
GE.017. 11 The resolution s
l were, ether-
WlSes word for word, adopted by the Com
mittee as they were written, except as re
poited in the .regular proceedings of the
Conventions.
: Tan Commercial attempts to save its
supprueitig friend Mr. T.l Steel, by say
ing that the "twelfth" resOlution "was not
adoPtedby a majority of the Committee"
—and that he suppressed it accordingly.
A b*faced falsehood is the natural re
sortto defend an Impudent fraud. A ma
jority of Mr. Steel's oWn Committee
(the Legislative) and a majority of the
Joint Committee of the Conventions did
adopt that resolution. ,See the card of
Mr. LONG on that point. Mr. Thomas Steel
is in a tight place, and the blundering
fabrications of the Commercial make it
still tighter.
Tzestassice politics are becoming more
and more interesting. A recent decision
of. the Supreme Court in that State con
firm; the legality of the registration made
by county clerks under an old systein,,
now repealed, and restores the franchise
to all such registered voters, from whom
a later law had taken it away. This de
cision i s egLiected to,expand the franchise
by spine forty' th ousand votes: It now
seems probable that each of the opposing
Beinblican cendidatea for Governor will
place himself at once squarely upon a
pletform of universal guffaw, and with
the - remnd of all restrictions therefrom.
A similar tendencyi is apParent fn every
I part of the Southern political field. It in
diodes the speedy adoption of a broad
and liberal policy in wise accordance with
the course ` of events.
Wmezt the Ommercial undertakes the
defense of Thomas Steel, by saying that
he "would not outrage the principles of
thtMepublieaty party by reporting a reso
iutiori which failed to receive the ap
irOal of a majority of the Committep"—

four and both of them voted for the reso
lution. The Commercial must not tell so
many whoppers; or else must form them
with a little more regard to appearances.
Do he more careful, neighbor ! In the
name of your dead "ring," we implore
you not to be so sparing of the truth !
A REPUBLICAN LEADER.
DrsTurcr Arronszir Carnahan put in
an appearance, either in person or by his
counsel, the Democratic Editor of the
Leader-Commercial, in the latter Journal
yesterday. Bat he makes no reply upon
the main issue, and therefore stands mutely
confessing the truth of our statement that
he had suppressed the truth, in his 'wild'.
ous attack upon the editor of the
GAZETTE in. the Judicial Convention on
Tuesday. We are satisfied, if he is, on
that point. We, he, and the public equal.
ly understand what a suppression of the
truth is eqnivident to. So much for thati
He boasts that he accomplished his pur
poses with the Convention. He has a
right to that boast He also boasts, it is
said, that "he holds his office as District
Attorney in spite of the efforts of the two
Senators and of all the Republican Repre
sentatives from Pennsylvania for his re
moval." He is perhaps right in that boast
also.
But he is a nice Republican politician,
to lead a Republican Convention in Alle
gheny county by the nose—and a nice
lot of wide-awake and outspoken Repub
lican delegates to suffer themselves to be
thus led. His proper place was on a very
far back seat in that body, and to sing
very small. Appointed to office by Mr.
Lnicour, and re-appointed by Mr.
Joax
sox, retaining his place undet the
latter's administration, as well before
as after the passage of the Office-Tenure
Law, through all its bitter warfare upon
the Republican .principles and party,—
how District Attorney Carnahan con. :
irived to maintain himself has always ex
cited the curiosity , of the public. Alter
nately avowing himself a Republican;
and making Johnson speeches, he was
sometimes on one side of the fence and
sometimes on the other, but always too
much a Johnson' man to be trusted
or respected by Republicans then,
yet always quite enough of a
Republican in his public avowals to
have ensured his removal from office by
A. J., had not some secret arran,gement ex
isted, by which he felt sure of his place.
This arrangement we propose to venti
late at our earliest convenience. And we
shall then speak by the book, and will
satisfy the Republicans of Allegheny that
this trimming politician is one of the very
last men whoni they should look to for
advice upon Republitan daty.
The pastage of the Office Tenure Law
made a new man of the District Attorney;
it reconstructed the politician entirely.
He snapped his fingers at the Executive
who could' no longer remove him, but
whom he had obsequiously flattered as
long as his 'own bread and butter was at
stake—and came out again a full-Wedged
Republican, the loudest of declaimers and
the most radical of radicals. He did not
need any more "secret understandings,"
either with A. J. or with the Democra
cy—and he went back on all those ar
rangements, under which he had so far
kept his place, with the prompt facility of
a weather-cock.
Since he has seen fit to obtrude himself
actively among Republican leaders, and
upon a Republican Convention, as the
champion of the moat shameful assaults
upon the integrity of the party, in its re
quirements from its public men, he makes
his own political record public property,
and we shall deal with it as such. We
are amply prepared to present its salient
points, and to the public satisfaction.
Our readers may expect something very
rich—and we shall ask them to read it by
way of a running commentary upon the
"Republicanism" of this champion of.
Andrew Johnson in•years past, and of the
Pittsburgh Commeraid, with its wholesale
abase of the Republican party, in the Ju•
dal Convention the other day. And the
people will then agree with us, that the
District Attorney was a queer leader for
Republican, delegites in this county.
Since he is averse to any muzzles upon
the freedom of the press, he will himself
be gratified with the frankness with
which we propose to let the daylight into
his past political and
, official experience.
WHO CRIES. "STOP THIEF I"

The Harrisburg Telegraph makes a
very Interesting reveltition, as to the per
sonal hofiesty of one-Of the 'editors Of a
disreputable print, in the interior of the
State—one of the two newspapers
which haye of late so clamorously assail
ed. the integrity of the Republican party
and he office-holders. Says the Tele
graph:
A certain individual who had been
constantly.barping in the columns of a
certain paper upon the dishonesty of the
last Legislature, charging them as a
body with the grossest corruption, and
indirectly huplicating individual mem
bers in the most disgraceful and dam.'
aging conduct, bad in his employ a car
penter, engaged to do certain work, the
payment for which was to come from
the State Treasury. When the work was
finianed,the bill,amonnting totwenty-five
hundred dollars, was made out, and the
carpenter, who was in want of fands,
desired theligent or assistant of his ern
hloyer to certify correctness, so that
e could draw t money from the
Treasury. The a gent, as we shall
call him, who in reality had
very little business on hand to eM.
ploy his time, was nevertheless always,
as he said, too much engaged to examine
the.bll4.B - indin't this Wav the carpenter ,
was for some time deprived of the, use or
the money which he bad honestlyi earned.
Atlenstkke graW tired calling, onJthe
wairtra never hid tiaze.tatlivie:4llll

Treasurer, to whom he related the cir

cumstance. That officer, who probably
suspected how business was conducted
in a certain quarter, intimated the opin
ion that the certificate could be obtained
if the carpenter would accompany his
request with 'a small present. To this
suggestion the latter promptly replied:
"I have offered the man five hundred dol
lars if• he would certify the account and
get the money; but he wants me to make
out a • bill for FOUR. THOUSAND DOLLARS
against the State, which he AGREES TO CER
TIFY if I will pay him TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS. " This, added the car
penter, "I have declined to do.
The bill, as made out for twenty-five hun
dred dollars, is correct, and I want the
money." The State Treasurer, naturally
indignant at such a revelation of contem
plated fraud upon the public finances,
assured the carpenter that', he should be
promptly paid, and forthwith sent 'or the
dishonest official, (the same fellow, be it
remembered, who has made himself so
prominent as a denouncer of legislative
corruption,) told him of the complaint
made against him, and suggested that he
might escape trouble by giving the car
penter the required certificate at once;
which, of course, being unexpectedly
caught in his attempt to swindle, he did
without further hesitation or delay. In
this way an honest man got his money
and a roguish officeholder was prevented
from robbing the State of FIFTEEN HUN
DREp DOLLARS.:
The ostensible editor (not the real edi
tor who is revealed as.a well-known Cop
perheads) of another of the same trio of
journals, which have lately denounced
Republican corruption, seems to !have
been equally unfortunate is one of his
own little privaib raids upon the Treas
ury, of which we have these particulars
from a correspondent:
The editor, while in Harrisburg during
the session of the Legislature of 1807,
was summoned to appear before the Com
mittee appointed to investigate the charges
made through his newspaper against cer
tain members for corruption. It is re
ported of this incorruptible "guardian h
of the State Treasury that, though in the
Capital on other busmesU when sum
moned before the Committee, he had
hardly given his testimony Until he 'was
demanding from the State Treasurer
mileage from Pittsburgh for his attend
ance before the Committee. - -That Legis
lature may or may not have been a .cor
rapt one, but its Committee was not cor
rupt enough to pay such an imprudent
bill as that, and so rejected it altogether.
Wanted, the Commercial's opinion on this
case. TWINTT.TEIRD WARD.

A CALUMNY REPELLED.
,
ALLIIORENY, June 8, 1869.
rMEssns. EDITORS GAZETTE: The un
dersigned wishes no controversy with
the Pittsburgh Commercial, but he can
not permit the statements made editorially
in this morning's paper, in relation
to the twelfth resolution In the series
adopted in the County Convention, to go
unanswered, as by implication the honor
of the majority of the Joint Committee on
Resolutions Is brought into question:
The Commercial says In its article head
ed "Mr. Collector Steel." that he (Steel)
"would not outrage the priiwiples of the
Republican party by reporting a resolu
tion which failed to receive the approval of
a majority of the Committee." (The italics
are mine.)
And in another place the same article
says, "The resolution (12th,) not hav
ing been adopted by a majority of the
Committee."
In the article headed "That Little
Joker," it says, "A resolution (12th,)
smuggled through the County Conven
tion." (Italics are mine again.)
Now, Sirs, these are strange statements
for one holding the responsible position
ot..an editor? of a daily newspaper, to
make. And unmistakably prove either,
that he has been grossly deceived, or that
he writes regardless of truth and careless
of the personal clutracter of those whom
his words assail.
The writer unqualifiedly states that the
(12th) twelfth resolution did receive the
approval of (6) six out of the nine (9)
members of the Joint Committee, and
challenges any one to a denial of the
statement.
2d. That the said resolution received
the full, emphatic and unanimous approval
of the County Committee on resolutions,
also the approval of (2) two of, the (8)
three members of the Legislative Com
mittee, and one (1) of the Judicial Com
mittee, making (6) six out of (9) nine-
This being the case, how does it "out.
raze the principles of the, Republican
party" in reporting the resolution as in
structed by a majority of the Joint Com
mittee on resolutions? •
Was it not on the contrary, an "out.
rage" to pocket and empires* the resolu
tion by the Chairman of one of the sub
committees,contrary not only to the wishes
of the majority of the full committee, but
also of a majority of the sub-committee
representing his own convention? '
3d. The undersigned further states that
the resolutioes entire, as adopted in the
County Convention, were unanimously
approved by the committee from that con
vention, and, also, that the (12) twelfth
_resolution was read by the writer hereof
to a leading representative of the Com
mercial, and his approval of the same
asked, before the report was read in con
vention. He made no objection to its
passage. This was probably a full hour
before the convention adjourned, and
ample time was given for any complaints
to be made known.
Tlui:report of the Committee on Reso
lutions was announced while the room
was yet full of delegates, was read in
a loud, clear voice by Col. Stewart, one
of the Secretaries of the Convention. and
on motion was unanimously adopted en
tire as read. •
The writer would be pleased if the edi
tor of the Commercial would show him
where and when the "smuggling" was
done, and if, in the meantime he discov
ers his mistake and the injustice done to
myself "and the other members of our
committee, it will be right for him—and
we demand ftor him—to withdraw this
charge of "smuggling through the
County Convention."
It certainly will be better for,the repu
tation of his paper to be morel guarded
hereafter in making such sweeping
charges against his felle4 citizeus,
out the , least foundation in fact , therefor,
and, in , the writer's \ humble "opinion,
thi s is cue
_ O f the yeolerrors sought to
be avoided by the pow* of the twel ft h
resolve, that - ,"Tailnnand indiscriminate
accusations" against iiiiisbint,'Whether
,or out of,oll4e,;ttlicould never bei, 7 4/44,
without good proaf therefor.
Surely an editor shows little know'.
edge (or belief in the influence of his
paper, whn wil wantonly assail, without
the very best of proof, the character of
men or their mbtives for action; or. hav
ing this knowledgo, exhibits a daring
recklessness or depravity, or both, for
the exhibition of which a "straight
jpcket" would be none too severe,
Further, if you will allow me to add,
the articles which of late have been ap
pearing in the Commercial, "pitching in"
indiscriminately against everybody who
saw fit to differ with it, and particu
larly against Republican office holders,
have been the inciting cause and excuse
for every weak-kneed Republican to
brawl and babble against the and
the supposed delinquencies of its officers,
the tendency of 'which cannot" be other
wise than detriniental to the party, and to
its success in the. Fall elections.
lln closing, I would expreis the wish
that hereafter the Editor of the Commer
cial will confine himself to, the facts,
when attempting to criticise the pro
ceedings of , any Committee, and not
depend too much upon the words of
those who manifestly have this time de
ceived him.
HENN!' M. LONG,
Chairman of County Committee on Reso
lutions.
ALLEGHENY CITY, June 3, 1.869.
MESSES. EDITORS GAZETTE In read
ing the Commercial this morning I find in
one of their editorials thc4 speak of
"smuggling" through the resolutions in
the County Conventions. Now I con
sider Tom Marshall too good al man to al
low any person to smuggle through any
resolution, be it in favor of or against the
Commercial. When Mr. Ste Wart, one of
the Secretaries; read the resolutions, he
did it in a loud Clear voice, so that all in
the room he ard them, and they were
adopted in as loud a tone as [they were
read,' not . haying a dissenting voice.
When the Commercial attacks the County
Convention and says we were guilty of
"smuggling," lit attacks our Chairman,
Secretaries and all the delegates.
I have nothing to do with the fight be
tween you and the Com mercial. as I be
long to neither of the "rings," but went to
the Convention to "wring" in for Hugh
Fleming for Sheriff, and Ve did it too. I
hope other delegates will speak out and
denounce the I charge against us, of
"smuggling." I should like to hear from
our Chairman .on this question, as he, so
far as I could see, allowed nothing but'
what was on the square.
A. DELEGATE.
NESSUS. EniTons : Permit me to say
through your columns that i am a goOd
Republican, and have served my party
in the field fighting for Its God-given
principles before the cannon's mouth. I
am not a simpleton and cannot be duped
into believing that my vote, as a delegate
in the County Covention, was wheedled
out of me by any political tricksters.
I gave my assentio the 12th resolution,
believing it was right. I would do so
every hour of the day under similar cir
cumstances, if called upon to do so. The
delegates to the County Convention
i<netir what they were about. They dtd
not fear to give expression to their honest
sentiments. They did, it, one and all.
Every right-thinking Republican is with
you in this contest. Stand to your guns
and let no skulker escape. You have
brought down your game so far like good
hunters, and the people cry out in tones
of satisfaction. TEUTON.
Enrrons GAZETTE: Stick! That's the
word. You have accomplished your
aims, and, In spite of all bolster
ing, the Commercial must go dclvn
in public opinion. You i can aftird
to be called corruptionists, as long
as you defena the great Republican
party from the attacks of those who de
al,* and would rejoice in its overthrow.
Let the enemies feet your lashes, and do
not let up until they take a hack seat and
clamor for mercy. OAKLAND.
EDITORS (limns : All I can ask of
you before peace is declared is to publish
the record of some of the wise and honest
patriots now clinging to the capsized boat
of the eommtvetal. You owe it to your
selves to put everybody fairly and
squarely before the public, so print some
things you are presumed to know. The
Republican party will back you to•the last
in the exposures you are prepared to make.
RECORD.
Tim Louisville Courier Journal speaks
thus kindly, of the Cincinnati proposition
to spend ten millions of dollars in railway
building in Kentucky-and Tennessee:
We of course do not object to Cincin
nati's spending this amount of money in
the State of - Kentucky. It will, no doubt,
whenever it is spent, develop the re
sources of our State. Cincinnati has
already received sufficient benefit from
her trade with this State to make it not
onerous to pay a' perpetual tax on 110,-
000,000 for our benefit. . '
They do things in a queer and novel
way out West. In Clyde, Ohio, the la
dies organized a "Reform Association,"
and proceeded to business. They visited
the bar rooms and billiard saloons, took
their knitting with them and sat down
for a siege. The result is described by an
observer as follows: "Many were the
revelations which were made during
these some of which sadly proved
the 'deceitfulness and desperate wicked
ness' of the human' heart. In a few in
stances wives met their own husbands,
mothers. their sons, and young ladies their
lovers. This state of things caused an
agitation seldom if ever known. Not
many cared to risk a second meeting with
their frierids and neighbors in their even
ing resort, and but a few suchFlooked
for visits were necessary to con nee the
billiard zoom keepers that busi ness had
become suddenly stagnant-with them,
and they concluded, as they said, 'to leave
a place where women were allowed to
rule.' Two weeks of faithfhl visitation
caused the exit from the town of both
:billiard rooms." '

Grand Tournament—The Tilt—Success.
t'u't Knight—Crowning of the Queen
a Pd Maids of Honor.
The Grand Tournament of the Knights
of the White Cross took place at Union
Skating Park yesterday afternoon, and
was; so far as we are able to judge, a
complete success. The attendance was,
perhaps, not so large as on former occa
.
alone, but the interest manifested by
those present could not have been
greater.
At one o'clock the contesting Knights,
wally attired and well mounted, formed
in procession at the corner of Webster
avenue and Crawford street, and, pre
ceded by Julius Moore's excellent brass
band, marched through• the principal
thoroughfared of the city, and thence to
the Union Skating' Park, Allegheny, by
way;of the Suspension bridge. •
Following- are the names of the con
testing Knights:
Dick Turpin, H. Worthington; Hatch
er's Run, Benjamin Mallory; Memphis,
Andrew Ivison; Friendly Brothers,
Preset y Jones; Golden Circle, John Ash
tomilForest, George Layton; Pittsburgh,
Joh Gatewood; Allegheny, George An
derson; Morning Star,Robert Stevenson;
Pleiades, Albert Jackson; Rising Sun,
Dr. iMadison; Jack Sheppard, Isaac
Brown; Lone Star, Charles Williams;
Liberty, John Bell.
THE TILT.
A ter reaching the Park, the Master of
Ceremonies, Mr. George W. Lovett, as
sisted by his aids; arranged the prelimi
naries for the tilt, in which it was de
cided that there should be nine runs.
Mr. George W. Galway, one of the aids
tneh annoutced the order of exercises,
stating that the Knight whe succeeded in
taking the most rings in the nine runs
shmild have the pleasure of selecting a
maiden' of his own choice, and crowning
her l'Queen of Love and Beauty," and
that Ithe four next highest should have
the henor, respectively, of orownlng the
Ilrsti second, third and fourth. “Maids of
Honor." The Sir Knights were then or
dereifto take their positions, and the ring
having been placed in the usual way, a
tilt began, and resulted as followsk

There being a tie between Sir Knight
of the Lone Stir and Sir Knight of Lib*
arty; they were required to decide the
matter by another tilt, which resulted in
the former taking the ring three times in
succession, and the latter twice out of
three times, which clearly entitled him
to the honor, bnt there appeared to be a
disposition to favor his cOmpetitor, and
the judges decided that . Sir Knight of
the 'Lone Star could not carry off the
laurels without giving his competitor
another chance, on the 'groundthat he
did ,not ride
1 1 4 last enough. The Sir
Knight respo ded that his horse was
tired and could not be forced to a
greater rate of speed, and propos
ed to exchange for a faster one,
which proposition was readily assented
to. The trumpet sounded and the con
testatiti once More took their places and
the knight of the Lone Star was called
by the master of ceremonies, and away
he dashed on his fresh horse, at light
ning'speed, carrying the ring with him.
One Single cheer greeted him and the
band played a lively air, after which the
ring twas replaced, and Sir Knight of
Liberty was called and made a gallant
attedipt, but failed. This, It was thought;
would be cunclusive as to the claim of a
Sir Knight of the Lone Star, but not so.
The 'judges decided that no Knight had
a right to ride any horse but his own
without the consent of hie competitor,
whereupon they were compelled to take
another tilt, which, after the third round,
was decided in favor. of . Sir Knight of
Liberty.
THE MAIDS OF HONOR.
The utest as to who should crown the
Maids of Honor was decidw as follows:
lst--Knlght of the Lone Star;
Knight of the Golden Circle; 3rd—
Knight of the Morning Star; 4th—Knight
of th'e Pleiades.
THE ORATION.
Pril)f. S. A. Neal having been deaigna
ted O rator of the day. was introduced
and ddressed the Sir Knights and spec
tatoi S in an able and eloquent manner.
The Tournament having ended, the
procession again fnmed and headed by
the band, promded to their place of ren
dezvous, where they were dismissed
with instructions to be present at Lafa,y
ette pall at half past seven o'clock, where
the browning ceremonies would take
place,
AT LAAYETTR
At the appointed hour the crowd be
gan to assemble at Lafayette Hall, where
it had been previously announced a fes
tival would be held, at which the sue
amain' Knight would crown the Queen
and Maids of Honor, after which the
gold-headed cane, would be awarded toi
the most popular Mayor, Brush or Drum,'
and a silver -watch to the most popular
waiter.
Julius Moore's string band was in
tend lice and enlivened the occasion with
excel ent music until the arrival of the
Sir Knights.
TRY. CROWNING CR/IRKONIE& •
At ten o'clock the audience was called
to order by Colonel George Loral!, Mai

The Reient Indian Massaerea-.-Ilorrible
Brutality. '"
The Leavenworth (Kansas) Times
gives additional particulars of the recent
Indian massacres at Fossil Creek. The
tongues and hearts were cut out of the
dead bodies of the men killed, the calves
of their legs slit down and tied under
their shoes with pieces of flesh cut from
their backs, pieces of telegr4h wire Were
stuck into their bodies, W i eil ears cat of
and heads scalped. •
John Hark, Deputy United States. Ma
rshal, reports that, the Indians boiled the
hearts of . these men for medicine. The
Swedish settlers who were attacked on
Shillman creek all lived in one house and
attempted to reach a place of greater se
curity. Those that • remained in the
house were not molested; this occurred in
two or three instances.. The calamity is
mainly attributable to lack of 'arms, for
whenever a gun was fired the savages
made no fight. The Indians drove off
considerable stock from the 'above settle
ment. Adjutant General Moorehouse is
here organizing a force of militia.
A special from Hays City, Kansas, says
it is stated on good authority; that the In
dians who are committing depredations
on the frontier do not belong to the tribes
who were operated on last winter south
of the Arkansas river, but belong to the
northern Cheyennes, Sioux and. Arra
