| The GREAT GERMAN SAENGERFEST AT
PITTSBURGH.-During last week two of
our German singing societies were on a
visit of pleasure to Pittsburgh. The
Manerchors and the Harmonies were
invited thither and we copy the fol-
lowing notice of the closing scene from
the Pittsburgh Commercial:
The great German Saengerfest that
has been occupying the attention of
our citizens for the past week, closed
last night with a grand promenade con
cert at the Keystone Skating Rink, AL
legheny. The picnic gotten up by the
Saengerfcst, which was to have taken
place at Iron City Park on Thursday,
but which was postponed on account of
the inclemcnt weather until yesterday,
had to be abandoned again on account
of the rain. One of cur home German
Beneficial Societies, however, were de-
termined not to disappeint their visit
ing friends, and accordingly got up a
picnic ut Iron City Park In the after
noon, which was attended by very
large number of the visitors, besides
many of the Germans from this vicin-
ity. 1t was kept up until five or SIX
o'clock, when the picnicers returned to
the city.
The festivities of the Saengerfest
closed last night with grand prone
made concert at the Rink. The seats
erected for the concerts ca the previous
nights, on the main floor of the build
inc had been removed to the galleries
on the siding, in order to make the
Mace clear for the dancers. Notwlth-
standing the threatening aspect OF the
weather in the evening, ladies and gen
tlemen began to flock to the Rink IN
large numbers at an early hour, and by
the time announced for the commence
ment of the promenade, nearly Two
thousand persons had assembled WITHIN
the spacious building. The concert
commenced at half-past eight O'CLOCK,
and consisted of instrumental music Dy
Toerge's celebrated orchestra of elSh-
teen pieces, under the leadership OF
Professor Toerge, which played the fol-
| lowing pieces in most beautiful man
ner, drawing forth the applause of the
audience Concert Overture, by Proch;
Grand Waltz, by Muscat; Cuckoo and
Cricket Polka, by Bach; Grand Steiger
March, by Faust.
At the close of the concert grand
march was played by the orchestra, and
the promenade commenced, which was
participated in by large number OF
nersons, and the floor was kept con.
stantly crowded by those who enjoyed
"tripping the light fantastic toe The
frure calling was done by Jake Byerly
and the dances was interspersed with
some excellent vocal music by the diff
ferent singing societies, accompanied 10y
Toeroe's orchestra. Dancing was kept
nm until an early hour this morning
when the immense party separated and
the great Saengerfest closed.
The Sasngerfest, which commenced
on Monday last, has been very success
fri and our German fellow-citizens, a:
we'll I as many of our American friends
have been enjoying feast OF unalloyed
pleasure. The extreme inclemency o.
the weather during the week very ma
terialiy interfered with some OF the ar
rangem ents, but taking it all IN all, .n'
Saengerfest has been a great success

GREATLY DISTRESSED.--We are sorry
ONT friend, the "local" of the MieiH-
0eacer, has worked himself up to such a
pitch of excitement about some songs
that were sung in the middle of the
street between the REGISTER office and
the Mcclure House on Friday morning
last. But, true to the instinct ct the
party, which manufactures mountains
out of mole-hills, and sends hired ennis
carries over the land to stir up strife, 1t
is sought to make this street music the
exponent of the views of the REGISTER,
and, By referring to the Atheneum,
threatens the repetition of those des-
potic days when the cruelties OF the
Black Hole of Calcutta were put to blush
by the inhuman barbarities enacted
and sanctioned by the party in power IN
Wheeling. We are of the opinion that
the whole thing was concocted by the
wire-pullers of the IRtelHgeRcer clan,
and their pimps sent as spies and re-
porters. But suppose it all to be true.
Is the REGISTER responsible for what
ever happens in the street ? Will the
Mtelliqencer man stand as political spon-
sor for all the acts of his party from the
Hartford Convention down to the pres
emit infamous reconstruction policy now
endeayored TO be fastened upon the
South If so, his cheek, though hard
sbould blush with the crimson OF
shame sufficient to light up the dark
slough of corruption, in which his party
is wallowing, and give him chance to
flee from its pestiforous abodes.
He is welcome to all he can make out
of the serenade, whether hatched I'M
der his assiduous incubation or not.
His threats of AthenGum Imprisonment
are but the cant phrases of skulking
towards, who learned them in the po-
litical vocabulary of the parasites OF
usurped power, and which is fast be-
coming obsolete. What serenaders sing,
or for what compositors hurrah, we arc
net responsible for their acts, any more
than we are for tho stolid and grove
ling luminosity of our neighbor, MADE
so by the indubitable signs of defeat.

POLICE CoURT.-Excitement was oH
the wane at this Court yesterday morn
ing. After waiting sometime two cases
were placed on the docket and one put
on trial. The other was postponed on
the account of witnesses.
John Carey, Who was found in an in
toxicated state in possession of horse
sand wagon, but too far gone in the hand
of Capt. Whisky to take care of himself
or his horse. In consequence of this, an
officer took Mr.. Carey to the lookup
and kept him there till yesterday morn
ing, when he had sObered sp sufficient
ly to be tried. The Judge fined him 81

tV Hon. Mr.. Wiley held forth at
the Washington Hall on Saturday
night. There was fair gathering, but
nothing what it should have been if
they intended this to show an ything like
their strength. The Hall was not fall,
and many of those present were Demo
Gratis, who had curiosity to hear what
Radical had to say who, at the break
ing out of the war, advised his county
to remain neutral. He spoke for about
an hour and a half, and was loudly ap-
plaudeA, especially when he was advo-
eating the rights and privileges of the
tive speech. a political harangue would
better characterize the effort. 1t was
replete with contradictions-such, for
instance, as charging the platform of
tho Democratic Convention at New
York, July 4th, with the principle of
reputation and in the next sentence
admitting that that platform adyocat,
ed the payment of the debt in the short
est practicable manner. We thought
the short extract from Burke to show
the inconsistency of the platform, was
entirely applicable to bis own case.
He tried to work up the passions of the
people by giving, rs his opinion, that
war would ensue if Seymour was elect.
ed.
His reasons were that as the New
York platform had declared the recon
struction acts unconstitutional, and,
therefore, void, the President would
send a military force down South to
sustain the people in the claims for
their rights under the Constitution L.
This would inaugurate Il war. Why 7
Because the State government officers,
the carpet, baggcrs, would insist on car
rying out the reconstruction policy.
And yet he declared that a Legislature
passing duu w Sdiiy OuN
unconstitutional measures was COM
hitting treason.
One single proposition of his is suffi-
cient to show our readers the style and
character of tho defamation, for We
cannot consent to call it a speecA. In
attempting to answer the charges of
tyranny and oppression under which
the Radical party held the South, he
said that no political party had ever ez-
listed which had shown so much elem
ency and mercy as the party now in
power; and, were it not blasphemous, he
would say that the Great Council of
Heaven did not exhibit such clemency,
for those who rebelled were thrust out
into outer darkness. Before thinking
audience such harangues will add great
" to the cause of Democracy.

progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and convergng Branches be

years. The CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD la,
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
