A City Editor Comptimented.
Testerday our genial friend, William
?Ramsey, Esq., City Editor of the Pitts
burgh "bat, was nominated by acchuna
tion in the Democratic Convention for
Clerk of the Orphans, Court. The com
pliment was unsolicited, and:was most
.worthily bestowed; asand there are few more
wearnert, consistent- hard' working
Democrats than Mr. ' Ramsey in.
aide our county limits, and none possess
higher analifications for any clerical
oOlce in the gift of his party. While
do not anticipate that he .will defeat the
courteous and capable Colonel . Mande,
the Republican candidate, still we will
make;awager that he runs far ahead of
any candidate on the ticket 'yesterday
put forward, and in , many respects is the
beat and strongest gentleman named for
leadership by our Democratic friends.

and stated that it would be necessary to •
appoint a committee on contested seats
to whom this"matter would have to be

contested seats. The following gentle
men constitute the committee: Messrs.

A RESOLUTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.

lution:
Resolved, That the Chairman of this

usual County Committee of Corraapon
deuce, of which he shall be Chairman.
Joseph R. Hunter, one of the Vice
Presidents in the chair, put thequestion,
and decided the resolution adopted.
A scene of general confusion here en
sued.
Mr. Moore held that the sesolutkm was
out of order at this time. .
Mr. Keenan held that it was in order
and was only passed to facilitate business.
Mr. Strain said that by a resolution
previously adopted it was decided to re•
far all resolutions to a committee, and he
moved that the whole matter be aid on
the table.
The Chairman ruled that there was
nothing before the Convention as be had
decided that the resolution was adopted.
Mr. Moore appealed from the decision
of the Chair.
A vote being taken, the appeal was ap.
parently sustained but was not so deci
ded by the Chair, and the motion , was
allowed to rest for a time.
Mr. Moore asked permission to make
an explanation. He said that during the

the Convention, Mr. Keenan had offered
the 'resolution for the purpose of smug•
cling it through the Convention.
'That notwithstanding the fact that
the resolution had not been put to a
vote or beard by the Convention, the
gentleman officiating as Chairman,had
decided , that it was adopted. He had
appealed from that decision, which sp
peal was sustained by a very decided
vote, yet the Chair had not so declared.
He desired to say that this Convention
would protest - against such action, or
against tbat resolution standing as a part
of the action of this Convention.
Another scene of "confusion worse
confounded" here ensued, and cries of
"be is out of order," "go on with the
marking," "go on Mr.' Moore," dtc.,were
heard from all parte of the house.
, After considerable trouble the Chair
man succeeded in restoring partial order
when the marking was proceeded with.
A LIBERAL COLLECTION. -
Mr. Keenan stated the Janitor bad con
siderable trouble cleaning the room after
Democratic Conventions, and at the last
two Conventions he had been overlooked..
He would therefore suggest that a Com
mittee be appointed to pass around and
raise a collection. A Committee was ap.
pointed and started round, whereupon
several delegates bad business outside
and others were in search of "change for
a quarter." The sum iota! 'contributed
was 135.96. (Not clukrgabie to the Asa

THAT RESOLUTION AGAIN.
A. delegate offered the resolution pre
viously offered by Mr. Keenan when Mr.
Hunter again put the resolution to the
Convention and attempted to force it
through, which caused another scene of
confusion.
Mr. Coyle objected to the proceeding,
and held that Mr. Hunter had no right
to act as Chairman.
Mr. Moore esired to state that he had
no personal feelihg in the matter, but he
must object to forcing the entire control
of the Democratic party of this county
upon Mr. Hopkins.
At this point Mr. Hopkins resigned the
chair to Mr. Large, and Mr. Moore pro
ceeded, stating that hailed no objection
to Mr. Large, who he knew to be an
hones; man.
Mr. Drexler mounted upon a chair
and demanded that Mr. Hopkins retain
the chair.
'Mr. Large called him to order, stating
that he would put him out if he did not
keep order.
So great was the confusion at this
point that it was impossible to hear who
was talking or what was being said.
After some time, Mr. Moore was per
mitted to proceed, comparative order
having been restored.
A motion was then made to adopt the
resolution making Mr. Hopkins Chair
man of the County Executive Com
mittee.
Another scene of confession ensued.
Mr. Linn attempted to address the
Convention on the resolution, when the
cries of "yon are , not a delegate" “put
him downy etc.
Mr. Sawyer then moved to lay the res
olution on the table. Lost.
The question recured on the resolution
which was adopted.
Mr. Hopkins thanked the Convention
for the additional honor conferred upon
him, after which the balloting proceeded..
Mr. Charles Strain moved that the can
didate having the highest number of
votes for Commissioner be declared the

Mr. Mcllwaln moved as an amend

THZ RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Joseph Hunter, Chairman of the
Committee on resolutions submitted the
following report;
Resolved, 'That our State nomination,
lion. Asa Packer and C. L. Pershing de
serve and will receive the united and
earnest support of the Democratic party
of this county in the coming contest.
Resolved, That we ratify and indorse
the platform of principles adopted by the
late Democratic State Conventional:Mar
risburg.
Resolved, That aoondition of affairs in
this county, so alarming as to call forth
the late presentment of the Grand Jury,
demonstrates the necessity of a change
by the action of the eoe—all the more
because of the deci si o nby out Judges
that such complaints of the Grand Jury
cannot be considered by the courts.
Resolved, That we are opposed to all
oppressive sumptuary laws, and to all
proscription and intolerant • legmoralitislation,
believing that the Interests of y
and religion can only be Injuredby
draging them into the arena of partizan
conflicts.
Resolved, That we confidentially r acorn
mend the ticket this day nominated. as
entitled to the support of all true friends
of the public interest in this county.
The report was received and the reso
lutions were adopted.
On motion adjourned.
The successful candidates are marked

their situation wasone of imminent peril.
The boats were prepared, portions of the

4 -
a charitable association connected with
St. Patricks church, held 'a picnic, the
proceeds of la hich were to be devoted
to the relief of the widows and orphans
of the congregation. During the fore
part of the day the affair passed off
pleasently, but towards evening the-bad
whiskey, beer and other decoctions, a
large quantity of which had been dis
posell of by the crowd assembled,
began to have telling effect on a
number of them and it soon became
evinent that the affair would elm
in a fight. A young man named
Carroll, having a 'heavy load of "ben
zine" aboard, amused himself by stri
king a young man whose name we could
not ascertain, on the head with a "billy,"
knocking him down and seriously injur

were present at the request of the mana
gers of the picnic to preserve order,
were called upon to arrest Carroll. He
was pointed out to officer Moore, who ar
rested him and attempted to take bim

number of roughs made an attack upon
the officer to rescue the prisoner.
Officers Purriker, Newbert and three
Others came to the assistance of
officer Moore, when the riot became
general, the entire crowd -of citizens be
log arrayed against the officers. The
crowd pressed upon the officers and were
forcing them back with stones and clubs,
when officer Puraker in order to intimi
date the drunken ruffians, drew his re
volver and fired. The shot took effect
in the leg of David McCarthy. a boy
about twelve years of age, who resides
with his uncle at the corner of Penn and
Twenty-first street, Twelfth ward. The
shot had the effect of checking the at- .
tack upon the officer for a few minutes,
and cfficer Moore was enabled to get his
prisoner out of the Park.
.Assoon as the result of the shot was
ascertained, the excited crowd made an
attack upon the officer, and would have
killed him had not some of the more
orderly persons attendiog the pic-nic in
terfered in his behalf. Re was taken in
charge by two citizens, who in order to
hit him out of danger started to conduct
mto the lockup. The crowd followed
and threatened to lynch him, and several
times on the way to the lockup he was
struck with stones, bricks and other mis
siles thrown by some of the leaders
of the A t Seang of ruffians who were follow
ing.venteenth, on Penn, an at
tempt was made to take the officer from
those who had him in charge and lynch
him, but, through the determined efforts
of the few officers who accompanied
him, the attempt• was foiled. A similar
attempt was rdade- on Smithfield street.
but was toiled by the timely appearance
of the Chief of Police and a squad of
men, who succeeded in arresting John
Brown, Peter Dolin, John McCaffrey and
Richard Dilling, who appeared to be the
ring leaders of the mob.
The uncle of the boy, David O'Connor,
will probably make information against
the officer for felonious assault and bat
tery. Re tame, to the Mayor's office for
ghat purpose last evening, but the Mayor
not being present, he did not wait.
The ball took effect in the fleshy part
of the boy's thigh, and althcingh painful,
is not considered dangerous.
An the matter will probably go into

be adopted for closing Iron City Park; MI

A Good Shot.

striking him in the knee. Hague at

entered ball in the sum of a thousand

Truth in a SO Shell.
It is a very hard matter to decide from
the many conflicting statements that
from time to time appear in the daily
papers regarding the number of Sewing
Machines sold in this community. Some
enterprising agents assert that they sell
double the number sold by their rivals,
while others make more modest asser
tions. In order to help , our readers ar
rive at the truth, as the popularity of a
machine is the best evidence of its supe
riority, we would state, as all business
men ,know, that each agent is compelled
by law to make a return under oath of
his yearly gross sates. From the first
day of April, 1563, to the 31st day of
March, Iti69, as we learn from official
Boraces, these returns were made as fol
lows:

MORD TRUTH -IN A NUTSHELL.
The above - figures, so far as they go, are
correct, but are intended to
ns misleadwho and
deceive a good many persoa
eventually buy Sewing Machines. As
the author of the foregoing paragraph
truthfully asserts, "the popularity of a
machine is the beat evidence of its supe
riority," and we can affirm that so popu
lar has the WHEELER & WiLsorr ma
chine become, and so well established as
a household necessity, that we have not
deemed it necessary'to do any advertising
for the past ten months, and are only
prompted to do so now, to prevent Mis
representation. To show the estimation
that the public - have of the "Wheeler &
Wilson," we correct the above statement
so as to include the sales of this justly
popular machine from the;Pittsburgh
office within the same time:
Wheeler & Wilson, (140 Wood bt ) $150,900
Weed 35.x0 33.t,00
Binger
Howe•
Grover & Baker. 26.410
hmpire and Wilcox & Globs 18 6(0
American Buttonhole • No reinrn
This proves that we not only sell "dou
ble the number" of machines sold by
"any of our rivals," but also that our -
sales exceed the combined sales of all of
them over seventeen thousand . 017,000)
dollar. Therefore if popularity is the
true test, the Wheeler d: Wilson is the
superior machine. Considering that we
are pretty well known among sewing
machine houses, we cannot understand
how our neighb ors overlooked us when
compiling their report. It must certainly
have been an oversight, for if intentional,
we should imagine they did not want the
feu, who buy their particular machine to
know that there was a better one in the
market.
We would invite partiea desirous of
buying machines to call at our elegant
salesroom. 140 Wocd street, and examine
the Wheeler & Wilson Machine before
purchasing elsewhere.
