Mr. Bic, ing, it will be' remembered,
ilii
was woun ed severely by the explosion
of arms i the armory, corner of Penn
and Wayn streets, some time educe, and
fhe xunnin of a train was too great a
tax on his impaired physical energies.
In due co deration of his faithful ser
, vices, the company have promoted a
most worthy officer and given him a
position which he can fill with greater
ease.
Mr. G. Miller, who has had charge for
some time of a freight train, has been
deservedly rewarded with a promotion to
the position of conductor of a passenger
train, and is now running the Erie Ex
press, we Mr. Browning, appointed as
above. Mr.. Miller has every essential
qualification necessary for the fuitiliment
of his present position, and will, no
doubt, discharge its duties with as much
satisfaction to all concerned as he did
those of the one he previously held. •
Temperance and Reform Meeting.
The , i

eight el clock by Mr. J. A. Carothers.

with, a large number of respectable gen
tlinnen las Vice .Presidents and Sec
retaries' • •
Mr.
T r i a
H. Nevin, on taking the chair,
returns thanks for the honor conferred.
He refer ed. to the progress of the tem
perance use and the - great Republican
party. He was a Republican and would
vote the ticket of that party with one ex
ception. He had nothing :personally
• against the Republicin nominee for Com
missioner, but he thought he was not the
man for the Position. A man of firmnese
and determination was needed. Such a
man was Isaiah Dickey. ,
Rev. Dr. H. Miller was then intro.
duced and addressed the meeting. Re
was not the engineer of the train, but by'
education. and his profession he was
identified with the Reform movement.
He would assist in contributing fuel to
keep up the steam. In 1867 alcohlic
liquors cost one' hundred and fifty Mil
lions. Alcoholic liquors then cost each
year at the rate of fifty dollars for every
man, woman and child in the, State.
They had too many licensed houses al
ready. There were no less than eleven
hundred and twenty-nine..; They should
do right though the heavens should fall
—do right even if they should be de
' feated.
• David Birk, Esq., then addressed the
Meeting. The. office of Coinmisaioner
was •an important one, as the Commis
sioners were entrusted with' a large
amount of public money. Then they
were intrusted with the power to grant
licensee—a power superior to the Judges
on the bench—and limn their decision
there was no appeel. One hundred and*
tWenty licenses had been granted in one
district in twenty squares—one for every
twenty voters In , the district. No one
pretended that:these were necessary for
the accommodation of strangers or trav
elers. 'No 'attention is paid :• to remon
strances: People are discouraged by the
power• of the Court from presenting re
monstrances: Nalicenlie has ever been
rescinded, which could be done for many
causes, wnich are daily found to exist.
• , Ml... Dickey did not want the office, as
he told him a few days since, anddid not
attend the meetings lest:-he milght be
' pressed to give pledges to some men to
grant licensee or listen to remonstrances.

case, together with that of business

defendants previous to the commence

-is what he wrote "confidentially" to
Mr. Theo. E. Tack on May 23d, 7, Just
- three months before the suit wa s :rommenced
(Confidential.)
PITTSBURGH, May 23, 1867.
• THEO. E. TACK, Eeq.
My Dear Sir: Oar good friend Mr.
Pinney has been spoken to relative to
going into a combination to make
••standard white oil" short for immedi
ate delivery. Yon understand it fully--
to “corner" it by calling for large lots
of oil now subject to call, and of course,
if necessary, purchasing all the S. W. in
the market. If this can be done I sup
pose a good thing can be made. If un
successful the rollers would have an
' , elephant" on hand and meet heav
Josses. He asked me what to do. I tol d
him Iwould, in entire confidence, consult
you. You haVeand can form a good idea
of the stock of S. W. really on hand,
the amount going forward and to go—the
real market and whether or not you
would advise him to becomela member
of such a uring"—of course if successful,
the result oPadvancing prices would be
temporary to enable "SETTLE CENTS AND
I.IIE SQUEEZE."
- Please say to me what you think of it
honestly and nnbosomed as between our
selves? If you. think necessary, tele
graph—l feel you will Wit think it troub-
Leßow° to attend to this, AB I feel a great
interest in. Mr. Finney and would be
glad to aid him.
Yours Very Truly,

quested, that he would advise him
(Mr. O'O.) against entering any such
oamninations.]

undergone a material change when Som

THE CAMPAIGN.
Meeting of the Republican County Com
mittee and Members of Vigilance—
Important and Interesting Business,
The - Republican Cbunty Executive
Committee and memlitirs of Vigilance
Committees of the various election dis:
tricts of the county held a meeting yes
terday at City Hall. After some remarks
in reference to registration, tic . , B. F.
Lucas, Esq., Chairman of the Committee
on Registration, being called upon, made
the following report:
To the Republican County Committee of
Allegheny County;
The Committee on Registriois, to
which was referred the s ub jec t of a dr.
cular letter to be addressed to tb several
Boards of Election officers thrhughout
the county, respectfully beg leave to re
port.
Your Committee hat learned that in
some of the districts the Atuseators have
entered upon the assessment and reale , -
tration bets the names of persona of
foreign birth, and who are known to the
election officers not to have been natural
ized, the question has been asked of
your Committee by some of the election
officers whether, in the absence of a chal
lenge by any other elector,, to object to
or reject such vote.
In view of such inquiries, your Com
mittee has concluded to report for the in
formation of election officers thefollow
ing
CIRCULAR:
--- -
The object of the alit of aiml
proves as ..the registration law" w ar b
le
the preservation of the pfirity of elec
tions. No reflecting man can doubt, that,
If the law be faithfully observed in letter
and spirit , the result will be to 'preserve
the purity of elections. This result is
of infinitely greater importance to the
people than any mere temporary party
triumph; first because it aids in cultiva
ting a habit of observing the laws of the
land; and second because pure elections
'will secure a fair and hones; expression
of the will of the majority of the people
as to who shall administer thelraublic
affairs.
In securing a fair and honest expres
sion of the will of the people, the board
of election officers are, upon the day,of
election, in an eminent sense the guar
dians of the people. They are sworn
officers, and it is tneir duty to stand
tween the people and the frauds that
may be attempted to bo practiced by the
unscrupulons and dishonest.
If any person votes or attempts to vote
knowing himself not to be a legal voter,
he is guilty of an offence against the
criminal law of the commonwealth. If
an election officer receives the vote of
any person whom he knows not to be
a legal voter, whether the name of such
person be found upon the list of voters
or not, he too la guilty of a criminal
offence.
It is therefore the duty of the election
officers on the day of election to refuse
the votes of all persona whom they
know not to be legal voters, either from
not being naturalized or not being resi
dents of the district or from any other
disqualification known to the laws.
Ail of which is respectfully submitted.

ered demanded the attention and action
of the Committee. He referred to
Chauncey Bostwick, Esq., Republican
candidate for County Commissioner, who
has been and is being abused be
yond all decency. Mr. Bostwick' is
attacked in all the districts by
speakdrs for the Temperatioe and Reform
party, called adi unkard, and it is pro
claimed everywhere that his nomination
by the Republican Convention was not
regular or pro r. The speaker thought
it about time f or the County Committee
to pronounce on these falsehoods, so
that there could he no doubt In the
mind of any one. Major Errett said he
had known Chauncey Bostwick for
years, and he was happy to , say
that be was not a drunkard that be
was the regular nominee of the Repub
lican party, and that he was a man In
every way qualified for the position,
honest, careful and upright. Mr. Bost
wick was the best Coroner we ever had ,
In this county, before or sines, and he
would make a good Oomnolifsioner. The
speaker continued at some length, and.
warmly urged that Mr. Bostwick be;
strongly supported and not left to fight

search of Fish, and found his body near
where lO'Rourke said he had left
him. The body was lying face
downwards with the head turned to one
side, and from appearances life had been
extinct several hours. There was a bruise
on the forehead,such as would be made
by striking within stone, and marks of
fingers on his throat. Information was
made before JuStice Lee, by Paxton C.
Fish, a brother Of the deceased, charging
O'Rourke with murder, and he was ar
rested and committed to jail. The Jus

An Old Favorite In a New Place.
When a merchant removes from an old
a new stand the 'press is apt to notify
the public of the change. It Is of equal
imparhince to families to be informed of
a similar change when a well known and
popular butcher removes to a new and
more eligible stand. Mr. J. F. Bellstelp,
one of our most enterprising and
accommodating butchers,,has by his care
to be always prepared with - Just the cuts
and quality of beef, mutton, velli Ltd.,
that suited his customers, desires now to
inform said customers that for their
better accommodation and to provide for
his increasing custom, he has purchased
from Peter Shatz his stand, No. 85, in the
Pittsburgh Market, east aide, where, on
and after the Bth inst., he will ' be prepar
ed better than ever to serve his custo
mers, old and new.. Mr. Beilatein's haw
iness has grown up within a few years to
its present magnitude, and his custom
is made up largely of our best
families in both cities, owing mainly
to two important characteristics, which
he constantly exemplifies, viz: lie will
buy or slaughter none but select ani
mals free from aisease, and carefully
fatted; by thfs be deserves patronage, and
to secure what he so well deserves, both
he and his assistants wait promptly and
politely on all comers. We might add
that Mr. Beilstein thinks it worth while
through the press to let the community
know, from time to time, where and from
whom they may depend finding at all
times the very best qualities of the va
rious meats. That his customers may
have confidence in the truth of these
facts. it is only necessary to say that Mr.
Beilsetin never slaughters animals just
taxen from the stock cars, nor such as
have just finished a journey, but only
such as he has owned and kept long
enough to
be sure that their flesh is
neither diseased nor heated by travel.
House keepers will appreciate the" great
importance of I crcumspection in
these important pfs
art i culars, and may
therefore depend on the very choicest
of wholesome meats by dealing with
Mr. Bellstein, at his stand, whether in
the Pittsburgh or Allegheny market.
Personal.
The grand Convocation of - Presbyte.
rians in this city has attracted a large
number of distinguished ministers and
lawyers, among whom are several au
thors of note. Prominent among the au
thors who are expected to speak
during the meeting is Mr. Coffin,
("Carleton") the auor of that
charming work entitled: "Our New
Way Round the World." This work,
though but 'recently published, has at
tained a wide spread popularity. Just
at this time it is opportune, as the open
ing of the Pacitic Railroad furnishes
pleasant facilitiesjor travelers. During
Mr. Coffin's journeys he mingled freely
among the missionaries, especially in
India and China, and has endeavored
faithfully to represent their work in
a proper spirit, and unlike some trav
elers who. seek to throw discredit upon
Missionary efforts. This excellent spirit
of Mr. Coffin should be kept iu view.
The work is an admirable one, and con
tains information of signal value to all
who intend to travel, and also gives an
Intelligent view of the country. to those
who, are unable to enjoy the luxury of
such a trip.
Among the visitors we also notice Mr.
H. Raker ' the accomplished Managing
Editor of the Detroit 2ribune tad Secre
tary of the Western Associated Press.

Esq.
An Elegant Place.
To•day Miersch's new Confectionery
Establiiihment, No. 24 Sixth street will
be thrown open for the first time since
their removal from the old stand. The
new establishment consists of a large
general salesroom on the first floor, an
elegant salon in the second and in
the rear, separate from all, the bakery .
and confectionary department where
the gocds smell prepared thus
removing alland . noise . from
the front bufldion. In point of finish the
new house is a high credit to the taste
and liberality of the Meagre. Mlersch.
The store is very elegantly fitted up with
carved shelving and counters, handsome
showcases, and variegated marble floor.
The saloon, whether in the new furni
ture, the, costly brussels carpet, the mar
ble topped stands, the elegant grand
square piano, or the profusion of beauti
ful painting, and other works of art with
which it is furnished, cannot be ex
celled in the city.
Messrs. F. A, Miersch ct Bios. are prac
tical confectioners, having been engaged
in the business nineteen year on the
same street.' A . sure evidence of their
ability is seen in the prosperity mani
fested by their new quarters. With such
an attractive establishment, they cannot '
reil in the future.to enjoy a Mil/ greater
measure of prosprity, which their en
terprise eminently deserves.
