Saturday having been the la3i day of the recent term of the Quarter Sessions Court, Judge Kirkpatrick oh the opening, proceeded to sentence the remainder of the con victed rioters, except the young German, Truninger, who was found guilty ot ma licious mischief. The Judge said he was not satisfied with the verdict in his and would therefore lay the it aside for the present. It has teen asserted that Judge Kirkpatrick had exhibited an undue degree of severity toward the alleged rioter daring their trials, but it will be observed that in passing sentence he exercised a discriminating clemency which is a sufficient refutation of thtt charge.
Where it was proven that the convicted party belonged to the dangerous classes no mercy was shown. A strong appeal for mercy was made in the cases of J. M. Grem, Alex. McAllister and James Carter, and the gave them light sentences tis will be seen below.

TliB "Iloy Orator," Master J.

The lad showed remarkable training and marvellous decla matory powers for a child of eight years, but the Pittsburgh public generally seemed to think that he should bo attending school for his own benefit rather than be speaking on the stage to support in luxury and idleness a his. stout, healthy father. But whatever may be the cause, the lad's engagement, like the man who had him in charge, was not a paying one.
AT BLAIRSTILLE. A Rleh Treat by Amateur Talent. A young lady of this city now visiting Blair3ville writes: After spending a few pleasant days in "good old Blairaville" I heard whisperings about an amateur concert to be given in Library Hall. Although prepared to ap preciate the home talent, I was not a little surprised to find such a real treat as bad been prepared by sotneof the town's most talented belles and beaux. The opening chorus was well rendered by the Misses Maher, Fenlon, E.
Warnock, M. O'Brien, M. Henry and S. Henry followed by Mr. Conway's well delivered prologue.
The comic drama "Aunt Dinah's Pledge" was very enjoya ble. Messrs. T. Maher and L. Jrenlon sustained their characters admirably.
The music, both vocal and instrumental was ci'-refullv selected, and proved beyond doubt that success had crowned the youue folks efforts. Miss vV aroock solo and the Misses Maher's vocal duet were charm ing. Tho closing music convinced the audience that they hail enjoyed something bevond their expectations, and as for my self, I hope to have the pleasure of again hearing the ladies and gentlemen who were so successful in their hrst concert, November 30, 1877. At a meeting of the employes of the firm ef Mivllin Maloney, iron manufacturers of the city, held on the above date, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It has been asserted that owing to the financial amharrasment of the said firm, it has been conjectured and so published, by the city press, it is supposed some ot the dissatisned employes bave em ploved the torch to these works.

The remains of Peter Jnnghans, a tailor who lived and did business at the corner of Twentieth street and Penn avenue were found in the Monohr'hela at the foot of Brady street on Saturday. The deceased was Treasurer of the German Evangelical Church at the Corner of Sixth avenue and Siilithfield Street, was a soW, honest and upright citizen of considerable influence amoug the Germans He was about forty-tire vears of age and leaves a wife and six chihi ren. There is much mystery connected with Ids dca'h and his friends believe that he was the victim of foul play. They cannot entertain the supposition that he committed suicide. On J-'riday evening he h-ft the house of his brother's widow, at Fifth avenue near Magee street, stating that he was going to Soho, to collect some hills.
Hn was last seen alive about rive o'cUck on the afternoon of Friday. When fonnd the right pocket his pantaloons Was tnrned inside out and neither money nor pocket look was found about the person, although the deceased never went without, money. His watch was found in an inside pocket. The church accounts are said to be in excellent order, and he was in comfortable circ*mstances. A short time ago he received from the Third Ward Building and Loan Association to make the last pay ment on his house.
He was a member of Schiller Ixxlge A. O. V. W. When the deceased left the house of his brother's widow he proceeded to Soho aud called at the.
house of Mr. Charles Fusz, a German friend, where he remained a short time and left to collect a bill from Jamts Watterson, who boarded in the neighborhood. Nothing was then heard of him by his friends and family until eleven o'clock ou Saturday morning, when a man called at the residence of Mr. Krusz and stated that a dead niau was lying in the run near the river. Mr.
F. accompanied his informant to the spot designated, and was horrified upon discovering the body to be that of his late visitor. Mr. Bienbauer, the undertak er, was notified and conveved the remains to his establishment on Grant street. It the meantime the family of the deceased.
who were in search of him during the night and morning, were notified ot his death, which occasioned them much grief, as he always was to them a loving husband and kind father The Iec asei has several marks of violence about his head, which would indicate that was the victim of foul play. His skull at the top of his head is crushed, his forehead is badly bruised, and he has a deep cut on the lett temple, which it. is believed was lu-tiicted by a sharp instrument. This cut could not have been received in the wafer, nor could it have been caused by falling. The family bold that he has been murdered, aud wiil not listen to the suicide theory.
When he left home he hal eiht dollars in his possession. The inquest was beeun ou Saturday and will Vie concluded to-day.

Dr. Justin It. Fulton, delivered at the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church on Thanksgiving evening, haa call -d out a world of criticism. The lecturer advanced peculiar views in regard to woman's sphere, and different female writers have since assailed him in print. Last evening another answer waa made to the lecture this time from the samfl pulpit by liev.
lr. Ii. Pearson, pas tor of the church. Dr. Pearson preached from the text, "There is neither male nor female, bnt they are in Christ.

He maintained that woman should be allowed to seek everv avenue for employment which she can ri the sch-Hlroom, storeroom, telegraph otti and even the pulpit, views dutmctricas opposed to those enuciated by Dr. Fulton Dr. Pearson asailed the custom of giving, if not directly teaching, young women to believe that their only aim in life should Ixj marriage.
They should lie, fitted to fill picotions named even to the exclusion of men, who could find ample and profitable employment in the broad forests and in the mines. He also lielieved not universal suffrage but that there should be no taxation without representation and tiiat where woman is taxed for street or other city improvements she should have a voice in determining what those improve ments should consist ot. 1 he sermon was i direct contradiction of the lecture, so far the latter related to wotnaa.

A remlar monthly meeting of the All gheny Police Committee was held in the office of Mayor Phillips, on Sa'urday even ing, when the bill of Knaps bat'ery for services in defense of the city during th railroad troubles, was presented, aud created a lengthy discussion.
The bill was referred to the Police Committee by the Finance Committee, with the understand ing that the former should report an ordinance to Councils setting apart i j00 to rav the men. biS was objected to bv some members who held that the battery was indebted to the city over S70O for rent for the past few years. They wanted Ihe battery to count their bill in with the rent, but it was found the committee had no power in th'g respect, and the action reoommended by the Finance Committee was carried out. Mayor Phillips stated that he had returned the borrowed arms to the. Arsenal and pre sented a bill of four dollars for the hauling.
which was approved. A bill of eight dol lars for furnishing sandwitches to the bat- ry men during the riots was also ap proveil and ordered to De paid, ihe pay rolls of the police for Novemlier were ap prove 1 and higned.

It being dark in the house at, that hour the men procured a lighted candle, and with it were about to look inti the bottom of the tank, when a dash of light and a terriftio puff, similar to the explosion of gunpowder, knocked both men back, bnrning them severely about the face and neck. The noxious gases which were in the bottom of the tank had ex pioaeri. a no iaces or ootn men were burned to a blister. Mr.

Carrol Brews ter as counsel to act in the test case to de termine whether the associations organized since lfWU are liable to the payment of the tax of one-quarter of one per cent, upon their nominal capital, as Attorney General Lear holds. It is stated that the tax on the authorized capital of the Building and Loan Associations, which may be liable for it, will amount to upon each one of them. The League holds that the tax upon the associations is unjust and illegal, and its purpose is to resist, its collection by all legal means. Seven different associations this cifv are concerned. Hon.

The presentment purports be a "emi-hi'licia! statement, the re nil ot an exhaustive inquiry into the eaue. oriirin, nature and extent of t.ie riots, with an nccierpanvii if verdi-t as to tke responsibility therefor: in reality It Is a labored, estrcmety bitter, astoun tinirly inaccurate and marvellonslv short-smhted Bttempt to exonerate those who failed to meet the plain imperative requirements ol the hour, and to cover with oillum those who promptly and diil thcirdutv. Weare told bv the Oram! Jurv that the source ol the difficulty extended 'thi-nuirh several States and over many thousands of miles ot railway: it was not local nor conhneil to this city, ami could not have been controlled prevented by any means. It was an insurrection, and threatened the total suspension of trade and travel; it was a rebellion asaimt authority, and most injurious to the Interests of the people." Precisely no.
and lurther. as abtimlantiv proved bv passinir events, the city of Plthu'nrh was regarded as the principal base ol operations for a larxe section ot densely populated country. Its strateiretic advantnges to the strikers had been carefully considered and tho time for the oothreak shrewdly selected, it-ranted that the Incipient trouble arose on the Baltimore Ohio, the irreat battle was be fmiifht on the lines ol the Pennsylvania and New Yr rk Central, and the time, pist prior to the movement ot the crops and the nesrinnlnif or the fall trade. Let us recall the situation in Pittsburgh. A CITY PRBPKRKD FOR A RIOT.
Our police force, throuirh the monumental Inefficiency and criminal stupidity of the City Councils, had been reduced to a patrol lorce of than a hundred men. leavinx the city atro-lutely without any protection whatever durinir the day and so inefficiently guarded at niirht that It was a physical Impossibility lor many ol the officers to cover their beats twice I none niicht. This tact had become widely known and soon the vicious classes, and especially the perambu-lailiiir portion of them, were alarmingly represented in our vicinity, and when the trouble be-isn this danirerous fraternity was infamously well handled by secret emissaries ol tlia t'-m-mune and International, one of whom the writer encountered. These men were aio at work in Altooua, liarrlfbunr an1 Phils'telphia. The strike tieaian elirht o'clock on Thur.nlay morning, and at hrst comprised les thanhlty men.

Were not thee men iitrant violators of the law and liable to arreH without any proee whatever And why were they not arrested? mply because, Imm the very beirin-ninif. thev boldly defied all authority.
You eint to the fact "that one man was arres-ed (fo-aaauit). but alter this tfae crowd ot offenders and tbslr seinpath'irs an ad herents irithered rapidlv that in a lew hours, as you well know, the mocked the an horttyot thecity and county, and, as your preentment admits, when commanded by the Sheriff to d'sperse thev otedl-nately refused, holdinir their ground all IlKI IASl F.

And how was thi.v spirit enconraire 1 and fostered? The entire pre of the city, with a single exception, not only failed to condemn the nniawful aoriun ol the' strikers, to warn tbem of their peril and to nrirft them to make theirbaftie within the pile of toe law: to respect, aiov all things, it mac-sty: tint a portion of it added hre to ttie bitterness and open rebellion which threatened the peace and safe't- of the city, and the almost uni-ver-i! of ail '-Tee eom-canv fs wrunx. the men are riirht and not onlr night to held out but ouirht to be sustained," The fct that thev bad broken the law, repeatedly defied its mandates and were in open rebellion was entirely io-t sii-ht of.

And ct you call these men murderers I A UITP'ISM I'KITll ISF.O. -The presentment claim that the oeenpatinn of the Kuund House "was a latal mistake, II not a crime, and invited the modent attack resorted to. which was to fire the cars to burn them out. The occupation of the adjsoent hill could have been aeeomp! ihed before or alter the hrieg without loss, and the hill could have been held against any odds." Permit me to show the fallacy tills reiterated criticism.
Let me call vour at-tent'on to the fact that the hrst bring had scarcely ceased before there were Ihe wildest threats on every hand ol wholesale arson and a bloody revenge. There was a crowd of not lestbn three thousand persons on the spor, tie-tenths ol whom openly symt with the strikers and loudlv condemned the action of he troops in tiring on the mob. although they were eyewitnesses to the fact that that it was done strictly tn sell-defense. These excited and Indignant people scattered In every direction, and thewitd- stories were ton within an nour, ui aimo'i every street corner and within evcy household, to the eltect that "a crowd of Philadelphia roughs bad brutally mur tered a score ot innocent men. omen and children." A storm ol popular fury swept over the citv and out into the surround ing (ountry.
and before the sun had set. and before there was anv public knowledge whatever of what "diFiosition was to be mnoe of the troops during the night, thousands of maddened men, many of them already utterly reckless through the Influence of irmg. were on tneir way to tne scene oi uie con tiict. vowing vengeance. Helore nine clock the citv was wholly given over to this furious mob.

And now.
to conclude this reference, let me say that the deliberate statement of one of the general offi cers prisons is on record, that had the troops not nrea at an. tne mob woum nave upon them and disarmed them, as it afterward did a portion of that valiant vigilance committee, for wrnen tne tiranu Jury claims sucu uiuone credit AN UNFOUNDED CLAIM Now. as to the alleged suppression of the riot by the citizens and the events of the ensuing week. On this point the presentment is a model exactnfss: indeed, it seems to me that It would have been impossible lor the (rrand Jury, notwithstanding its unapproachable fertility of invention, to nave crowded more errors mn within the same space, at least without marring the marvelous symmetry and admirable com-pletrness ot its misrepresentation. 1 believe the distinguished foreman of the Orand Jury was a member of that memoranle committee ot five rent hv the eitizens" meetlnir to remonstrate with the rioters.
The treatment which that committee reeeived. and the striking unanimity with which it obeyed the lnuneton not to interfere with the work bt the mob has become historical. Asa matter ot fact, hut one building ws saved throuirh the intervention of the citizens, viz: Uie Ul shed at the foot, of Liberty street.
