HooPs IN BRoADwAY SIXTY YEARS AGO
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin we
extract the following reference to Mrs. Robert
Morris and dress fashions sixty years since;
"An old gentleman, whose memory is very
clear, informs US that in 1898, the ladies each
wore q single hoop, which was as large as the
lower one now worn The hoop was worn as
high as the hips, and below it depended train,
often five or SIX yards long, that was carried
by waiting maids or boys The old gentleman
recoIIects seeing Mrs. Robert Morris walk along
Broadway, N. Y, in company with Aaron
Bur, while her train was borne By SIX French
mustee women, richly dressed, and with turtans
on their heads. The women all wore stays,
and shoes with heels two or three inches high,
immense silver buckles being on the shoes.
Silk dresses were not then common, and muslin
ones worn were admired according to the size
of the flowers on them, roses as large as ones
hat being considered most elegant and taste
full. At that time enormous ssad dresses were
worn, towering far above the head Of the wearer
The headgear for the street was sort of cap,
which was placed upon the top of the head
dress, with q curtain OF cape at the sides and
back, which hung down nearly TO the shoulders
The ladies of the present time differ from those
sixty years ago in several respects The waists
of their dresses are not as near the armpits as
of old, ard instead of wearing the eapes upon
their shoulders, they wear their bonnets there;
but crinoline is spreading fast, skirts are grow
ing longer, and heels are gradually working
their way up to the last century pitch"

Rennblicnn Con,enrIon at PlusburgI..

The Republican County Convention of Ale
gheny held in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, was
one of the largest ever assembled, aud the best
feeling prevailed J. K MoOrhead was nomi-
mated for Congress from the elst district, and
Robert Mcknight from the 22d. For Assemb-
bIy, ]. Heron Foster. Elias H Irish, of Pitts
burgh; R. P. Mcdowell, of Allegheny; Jacob
F. ZOIler, of M'KeespOrt; and David F. Bayard,
of PEBBLES; were nominated. The following
resolutions were adopted. With such a ticket,
and on such platform, Allegheny will roll up
majority OfthOusands in October.
l. Resolsed, That the desPotic policy Of the
National Administration, in forcing upon the
DeopIe of Kansas 4 Slave Constitution. IN de
| nance of their known wishes, and in subversiOn
of seIfgovernment, deserves the emphatic re-
buke of the leople, and increases the necessity
for a political organization aiming at the rescue
of the government from the hands that now
pollute it, and are using it for promoting the
purposes Of the Slave Power.
3 Resolred That the corrupt appliances
used to force through the English LecomPton
| Bill. and the frauds and peculatious that have
been brought to light and traced to the party IN
power, are at once an evidence Of its rOttanness
and of the imperative necessity for It's total
overthrow
3. ResoIeed, That Protection to American
Industry Is one ofthe highest duties of the Ma
tional Government, and the depressed condition
Of the Manufacturing interests, not only in
Pennsylvania, but throughout the Union, calls
loudly for a return TO that Protective Policy
which should never have been abandoned, and
which, If 1t had been continued, would have
saved Us from our recent commercial disasters
I. Resolped, That the extraordinary ex-
trayagance of the National Administration 10
squandering the twenty millions Of surplus
found in the Treasury, ard the forty millions
it has since borrowed, demonstrates that if the
country is to be saved from utter bankruptcy,
it cannot too soon get nd of a party which, in
its first year, runs the country fearully IN debt
without appropriating one cent to the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, or undertaking any
other work of national importance. The sim.
pie machinery of government, in the hands OF
James Buchanan, requires eighty millions OF
dollars year to carry it on-an appalling sum
for an almost worthless government.

JoHN RAxDoLFH, of Roanoke, said about GER
tain naval exploits which Enlightened the stars
Of victory years ago:
% His purpose" Mr. RANDOLPH stated, was
to make a motion in relation to the wife and
children of the late OLIVER HAzARD PERRY.-
1t was his opinion, Mr.. RANDOLPH said, '~heth-
er correct or not, that the country owed more
to that man, in its late contest with Great Brit
ain, than to any other whatever, always except
ing Isaac HuLL-that man who had hrst broken
the prestige, the cuirass of British invincIblily

that forty Packenhams, with all their legions,

the Mississippi, to take back the single action

ninth day of the session. DR.. HeacOck, OF bui-
f,lo. DIR. Rowland, Prof Smith, Rev Jas Eeiis'

Mr.. Eells said that the question before the
bouse was whether the Committee OF Confer
ence with the Home Missionary Society should
be permanent OF temporary, and members nad
coupled with it another question, viz: whether
the policy Of cooperation with the Home MIS-
sionary Society should be the primary or the
secondary idea Of the Presbyterian Church
He contended that cooperation with that ooei-
ety was in fact and of right the primary idea
The motion being to make the Committee a
permanent one, 1t was deided in the afflfma-
tive.
