THE PlrrsBuRG VIcToRY,-Pittsburg,
which has now elected q Democratic
Mayor by 2,S00 majority, gave Lincoln,
for President, 5000 majority The cause
of this great revolution was partly gen
eral and partly local. In Pittsburg, as
in Cincinnati, thenominating conventions
of the Radicals have long been control
led by a secret ring" ofpoliticims, and
great dissatisfaction is the result. While
the feeling growing out Of this controlled
a great many votes. the predominant
reason was the popular disgust at the
complete incapacity which the Radicals
ere exhibiting in Congress, and the utter
failure Of their" reconstruction scheme
to restore peace to the country The
Pittsburg (Penn. Post, in noticing the
result, says,
This revolution is not alone confined
