He would not have favored this proposition at one time, [laughter] but he thought differently since he wi nessed the trouble in the country, and saw thepatriotism evinced by the Democrats of Allegheny • county. [Ap plause.] John-F. bravo, of Mifflin, moved that a committee of three be appointed to confer with a similar committee from the Judicial Convention, to prepare buttineeti- and harmonize the action of the two conventions and report.

Porter were appointed a committee on resolutions, to moot a similar committee from the Judicial Convention. The Convention fixed upon twenty-one as the number of the Executive Committee of the county for the ensuing year. It was resolved that the nominations be made by marking. The Committee to prepare business was enlarged to'seven, the Judicial Convention having appointed that number, and Robt. teVenESOn, Geo. H. Anderson, G. H.

It was suggested that a ward and town ship be called alternately, which was adopted. The Convention then adjourned until one o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION At 'the hour of adjournment the Chair mail called the Convention to order. Tile Committee of Conference reported. The'roport is as follows : • "Your-Committee appointed to confer with' a artier committee from the Judicial ContiTn - rm, respectfully represent that weirtat :Wild committee, and after exchange of opinion and doe deliberation, the Joint Oonngittee agreed upon the following re. trued. deesultexpedient to nominate a "Mina linty Ticket!'

Mill,pr, of Tarentam, thought if the wario— the proper way was to leave some without nominations, and let the toprats flit theloroftlees themselves, - Stevenson, of Sewickley,:was a man, and ho wanted every body Ltd. Mr. T..8.-Blair thought, under the call of the Convention, it was for them to nom inate a fell ticket of men loyal to the govt eminent. Mr. It. F. Smyth did not wish to recog nize the Deawcratic party hero, but to make a full ticket of loyal mon to the Union. Mr. J. F. Dravo wished a ticket nomi nated without regard to party feelings, of men in favor of the Union. He would be afraid to go home to Mifflin township with a straight Republican ticket. He wished' the nominations made without distinction of.party. It was not a time for party lalekerings now. Mr. Little, of Ohio, wanted a are Her publican ticket and - nothing else. No other could be carried in his district. Mr. Miller was desirous only that the rticket should be so secured that. the Dem °orate party should have an honorable and fair share of the nominations, and that they should be sotisfied by selecting the men themselves. Considerable farther discussion was had. The yeas and nays were called upon the adoption of the minority report, and resulted: Ayes, 57"—Nays, 86. 8o the minority report was lost. The majority report was then again read and on the motion to adopt it, the yeas and nays were called with the follow. ing result: Ayes, 64—Nays, 79. Thiii was read with cheers in - the gallery. The Chairman announced thatunder the call all men loyal to the Union could be nominated, and the Convention proceeded to nominate. Mr. Wright moved to allot the office of Associate Judge to the Democrats, instead of Coroner. Not agreed to. After some further discussion, the quese tion was called upon the motion to adapt the minority report. .The yeas and nays were called, and re sulted as follows: For the Minority report-57. Against it-85. The motion to adopt the minority report was therefore declared lost. The majority report was then read for information, and a motion was made to adopt it. Mr. Wallace moved as an amendment, that the report be laid upon the table. Not seconded. A motion to strike out Prothonotary for the Democrats, and Mien Associate Judge, Was lost. The yeas and nays were called upon the motion to adopt the majority report, and resulted as follows: For the major* Vhe motion was declared lost, and the announcement was hailed with applause. The President remarked that the action just faxen would not prevent the Convene tion from nominating any person whom they might think proper. Mr. McElroy, of Patton, remarked that he had been instructed to advocate the nomination of a Union ticket, and that be ing now out of question, he moved that the Convention adjourn sine die, and that the people be left to select their own ticket. The motion was negatived by a very de cided vote. The Convention then proceeded to re ceive the names of candidates for the of.. floe of Sheriff, Prothonotary, etc. The following is a list of the candidates before the Convention, with the ballots annexed: FOR.

Robinson, of trio Fifth Ward, Allegheny, substitute , ' for Jno. Dyer, Esq., was contested by a gentleman who had the next highest number of votes at the primary meeting and asked the ap pointment of a committee of three on con tested seats, which was named by the Chairman, as follows : A. N. Burchfield, of Allegheny, W. V. Hvans, of Taren tum, A. H. Miller, of Wilkins. Thos. F. Wilson offered the following: ISCZONeti That a committee of seven be appointed to confer with a aimilar committee from the "Pohl !Cal Convention" ncw in session at the Comtßouse, for the purpose of reporting upon the propriety of nominating a * . l'ition 'ticket" by the two Con ventions. This gave rise to some discussion, Messrs. Wilson, A. M. Brown and C. B.M. Smith favoring and Joseph Irwin, of the Fifth Ward, opposing it. The latter gentleman said that the Democracy, where they had the power, had passed resolutions opposing the government, and a:handful now wished to get a share of the offices here. If the resolution was adopted and a Union ticket nominated he hoped it would be composed exclusively of true Union men. The resolution was adopted with but a few opposing voieea,and the Chair appoint ed the following committee, under it:— Thos. F. Wilson, C. B. M. Smith, Jno. P. Pears, H. B. Herron, J. D. Hilands, Thos. Penney and W. 0. Leslie. Dr. Gillmore, of Upper St. Clair,movei the appointment of a committee of five on resolutions, to confer with a like commit tee from the "Political Convention," The motion was adopted and the Chair s.p• pointed the following gentlemen: W. J. tiiim re, It B. Carnahan, T. U. Nevin, Jas. P. Sterrett and C. Shively. On motion t t.he Convention now adjourn ed, to re-assemble at the Court /louse, at one o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention re...assembled at one o'clock at the Quarter Sessions Court room and was called to order by the Chairman. The committee on contested seats report% ei that they had decided in favor of the contestant, S. Schoyer, Fag , but that gentleman withdrawing in favor of Gen. Robinson, he retained his seat. The Committee of Conference, through their chairman, Thomas F. Wilson, prey seated and read a duplicate of the report of the Joint Committee, as published in the proceedings of the political conven tion. H. McMaster moved that the report be laid upon the table and upon this motion the yeas and nays were called, resulting: yeas, 55; nays, 70. A. M. Brown, Esq., moved the accept. ance of the report. Mr. McMaster moved that this Conven. Lion nominate the Democratic candidates for the offices named and leave it for a Democratic Convention to nominate the Republicans Laid on the table. R. P. Nevin, Eiq., moved to amend by giving the Democracy the office of Trea surer and retaining that of Prothonotary for the Republicans. Mr. A. H. Miller °flexed an additional amendment, viz: that in addition to the Treasurer the Democrats be given another member of the Legislature, making two. John D. Bailey, Esq., called for a divi sion of the question, and the ayes and nays on the first resolution. The call was sustain. ed and the vote on the resolution stood : Yeas, 67; Nays, 76. The report falling with the first resolu tion, C. B. M. Smith, Esq., moved that the Convention now proceed to nominate a ticket. Mr. Stewart, of Findley township, said that he and his colleague had been elected to this convention under the belief that the Union ticket would be nominated, and that after this action they would be corns polled to withdraw. Oa motion the chair appointed Joe. Irwin, Jos. Dilworth and T. S. Tower to communicate to the other convention the fact that the report had been voted down. Mr. Nevin was sorry that this matter had resulted as it had. He read the call for the convention and said that delegates had been elected under it of both parties, and we have no right to call this a Repub. linen Convention. We have higher ins forests than those of party. If we are un able to cooperate here in nominating a Union ticket, which all can support, we but restore the angry feelings which ex. , isted before the beginning of the war. He was ready to sacrifice everything for the Union, and was in favor of a Union ticket. Mr. McMaster said it was a-mistake of those who differ from him to suppose that they were not Union men. Mr. Penney moved that the Convention resolve that it is inexpedient to make any nominations, and that the matter be refer red back to the people, which was lost by a large vote in the negative. The original motion to proceed to nom. inations was now renewed and carried. Hon. W. B. McClure, for President Judge of the Common Pleas and Hon. H. W. Williams, for Assistant Judge of the District Court, were, on motion of A. M. Brown, nominated for the respective po• sitions by acclamation. E. P. Penney was nominated for Senate and chosen by acclamation, but John D. Bailey, RN ,of Allegheny, complained that the vote had been taken too hastily, debars ring gentlemen who desired to speak from so doing, and excluding other nominations. H e was a P enne y man, but wanted to see fair pla.y. He appealed from the decision of the Chair, but the Chairman would not entertain his appeal, the vote having been announced. It was finally determined to mark for Senator with the other offices. compromise with or offerit'of concensiobieWelbela with arms in their hands.

The thief gained access to the house by boring through a window shut ter, with a breast bit, and unfastening the latch. In a lower room, a drawer was opened, from which a few dollars in change were taken, and a bunch of keys. The keys were used in opening drawers, etc., and the house was completely ransacked. Mrs. Hartman's chamber door was entered by means of an "outsider," and a closet in the bedroom was unlocked with one of the keys. Here the thief found the object of his search—one hundred and twenty.five dollars in gold, about five hundred and seventy five dollars in silver, and one hen. dred dollars in Pittsburgh bank bilk. The burglar escaped without detection. The theft was evidently the work of some one familiar with the house. A dog which would not permit strangers in the yard was found shut- up in an outhouse. A chisel, two bits, and a rope eighteen feet long were found about the premises. The Alle. gheny police examined the house carefully, and are endeavoring to ferret out the thief. The money had been set aside for the pus. nose of paying for some repairs recently Made by order of the landlady. Ri,. J. M. Unarm, Chaplain of the Tenth Reserve regiment, is in jail at Washington City, charged with opening letters addressed to soldiers. The Star, whose editor had been on a visit to the jail, says "Here, near the grated door of the passage, on the right, stood a gentle. manly person dressed in black cloth, with a blue cord down the seams of his pants , loons. He advanced to the door, and we soon found he was the Rev. John Green, Chaplain of the Tenth Pennsylvania regi ment, whose arrest has been noticed in the Star. A clergyman in prison on the Sab bath day, charged with a criminal offense, was a sad sight. He gave me his hand through the grating, while in a trembling voice ho spoke of the charge against him, and said he hoped his name would not be mentioned in the papers. We told him it had already been reported. He spoke in feeling terms of his wife and children In Pennsylvania, and of the hardship of not being allowed to see any friends on this day (Sunday) who would interfere for his release. We left him pleading his inno cence and lamenting his hard fate." CAPT. MAURICE BRZNNAN returned from Washington City on Monday night. He reports that his regiment (001. R ow . lay's) turned out six hundred and fifty men on parade last Saturday, and more arriv. ing daily. Capt. B. has opened a recruit ing office on Smithfield street, above Fifth, where he will take some twenty five re cruits for his own company, the Montgom ery Guards, and a numbor of others to fill up other companies in the regiment. We know no one with whom we would rather enlist than Capt. Brennan. M. Du Loroat's Dancing Academy, Philo Hall, is now open for the season. Now is the time for new beginners.

R. They are from Sewickly township, Westmoreland county, and were recruited in the short space of one week. Since the commencement of the war we have not witnessed a company superior to it in point of physical power. They are all athletic and vigorous men, with constitutions that will enable them to endure the hardships of the tented field. Thy are men of in telligence and feel that they are battling for the cause of civil liberty and the mainte. nance of a government for which our patriot fathers struggled so long and nobly to create. We feel confident that the Sewickley Infantry will give a good ac count of themselves. Tnis company is officered as follows: Captain, M. hL Dick; First Lieutenant, G. W.Greenewalt; Sec• and Lieutenant, C. C. Markle. The coin• pany numbers 101 men. Much credit is due C. C. Markle, Capt. Dick, and others, for their promptness in getting up this company. Da. J. H. SCHENCK, of Philadelphia, who has already visited the place several times, will be again at the house of Mar.. tin Koch, two miles from Unity, on the Fairfield road, Unity township, Columbi ana county, Ohio, on Wednesday October Utti, for the purpose of prescribing for patients and examining lungs. Dr. Schenck has been prevailed on, to visit Mr, Koch's, because of many cures made in the neighborhood. Mr. Koch himself having been far gone in consumption and was cured by Dr. Schenck, and this after nearly all of his family had died of that disease. Other persons in Mr. Koch's neighborhood have also been cured by Dr Schenck during his visits. Dr. Schenck visits Pitts burgh, the first Monday and Tuesday of every month, and by special request of Mr. Koch and others, has been induced to make a visit at his house on Wednesday, October 9th. THINF CAUGHT. —Some weeks ago; the watch and jewelry store of Mr. W. Plate, Wellsburg, was broken into at night, and robbed of goods to the amount of about a hundred dollars. Some depredations sub sequently committed in Hancock county, led to the arrest of an individual purport ing to be engaged in the wool trade, who named himself Webster, but whose real name is said to be George Fowler. ' The valuables stolen from Mr. Plate, as well as other stolen property, were found in his possession at New Manchester, Virginia. Fowler is in jail at that place. Nom DROWNED.—Abuut ten days since, a little son of Mr. William Shaw, of the Third Ward, Allegheny, soddenly disap peared, and from the fact that be was last seen in the vicinity of the wharf, it was generally inferred that he had fallen into the river and was drowned. Efforts have been made repeatedly to recover the body, which were unsuccessful. It now appears that the little felbw got on a train with some soldiers aLd went to Washington city A despatch to that effect was received by the family, stating also that he would be sent home immediately. Wass TO GET THEM.—In these war times it becomes a matter of some impor tance to many to know where cheap goods of reliable quality can be purchased. To such of our readers as desire to know we will say that W. H..McGee & Co., cloth iers, corner of Federal street and the Dia mond, Allegheny, have on hand a full stock of summer and fall- goods, ready made or furnished to order, made in the latest and most fashionable style at prices that defy competition. One visit will be sufficient to verify this assertion. SEDITOTION.—Louisa Howard, a colored girl, made information before Mayor Drum, charging Benjamin Jefferson, also colored, with seduction under promise of marriage. The prosecutrix alleges that the defendant still further aggravated ills offence by circulating the most candalona stories in relation to her. Jefferson was arrested, and held to bail for a further hearing to-day. Now is the time to buy your bleached and unbleached muslin, canton flannel, Irish linens, shirt bosoms, flannels, &o.
