The Iroa City decorated itself hand somely to-day to receive that favored son of FatherlanJ, "Schurz." It was the intention of tho Germans, outside of their political predilections, to give him a welcome that should far sur pass the affair gotten up by the radi talslast week under the guise of a Soldiers and Sailors Eeunion. Alle gheny county claims about eight thou 8 ind German votera,and it was appa rent that these, with their fxausj fam ilies and friendB, and: the addition to be made to the strength; of the demonstration- by the American liberals would raako tho aflair a grand success. 8HXATOK SCHTTBZ. arrrveot here about five o'clock and. was received at the Union depot by a committee of bis countrymen,, met to do him honor. There was also a large crowd of look-ers-on who sent up a cheer as tbo tall form of the Missouri Senator alighted from the train. How he looked is immaterial. ' OUR BBOTHEK CAKI was escorted to the the St. Charles Hotel, where he was forced to give an informal levee of at least half an hours duration. lie finallw was allowed to make his toilot, and the attention of tho crowd was for the time directed to the person of Senator Doolittle," who arrived at six o'clock At seven o'clock the streets- began to fill with the dif ferent clubs from- Allegheny Gity, South 1'ittsburg and other suburbs of the city proper. The rallying point was the St. Charles- Hotel, w-her Schura and Doolittle have -ibeir head quarters. Evory street within half a mile of this hotel was filled with marching olubs and interested spec tators. ANOTHER rEOCESSIOW. " At eight o'clock the procession started, headed by the distinguished guests, in carriages. The Tittsburg Post building was handsomely deco rated and illuminated, and Colonul Harr received cheer after cheer as tho procession filed by. It is estimated there- wer9 fully six thousand five hundred torch-bearers, and it requir ed fully ono hour to pass a given point. As they crossed the the river, over the suspension bridge, the scene was very grand. There were about twenty-six thousand people present in the square, where the speeches were made. Both Schurz and Doolit tle were effective, and excited the warmest applause. Allegheny in the last Preside c&a&l contest was the banner county of tho- Union in the majority given Grant in proportion to its population!. The Democrats and liberals are feeling 'very sanguine of victory in the Ootober eleotion. The deinenstrtiona of this evening seems to have ' given this district to Buckalew beyond a doubt. I am un able to see, from present appearances, that the radicals have the fainteat thance of victory in Western Penn sylvania. The demonstrations in tlie oil regions in favor of the liberals are said to be gaining in strength daily. Schurz goes to Philadelphia to-night. X. Y. Merald. Prospects in Ohio.

Once morej the principal, if not the only cause of this situation is in the fa tal influence of Radical politics; that is to say, the nepotism and systematic corruption which have entrusted all the public offices to unworthy and incapable hands. Hence the-vassalage of the State Legislatures, elected at the dicta tion of the Federal party, with the only purpose not of protecting the interest' placed. un'Uer their guar dianship, but of perpetuating the power which created them. Such is the sad truth evolved from the impartial observation of the facts which we have witnessed since the war r a truth proclaimed not only by tfee universal toico of .the South ern press, but acknowledged to-day by ail tlie sincere and independent men of the North. The Liberal party wish to put an end to this state of things. The supporters of General jkraut's re-election wish to perpetuate it. "Choose ye between them' !" Courier Des Etats Unis. THE LADY OF THE KEY. "This is the place, doctor in'l for God's sake, uuke haste or WO shall be too late." - With theso words the rough labor ing wan who summoned mo threw open the door of a rickety tenenieu t house, in a back lane, and together we began to mount the crazy stairs.

The chamber, if the small oramped apartment was worthy of so dignified a name, was without a carpet, and ooutaiued, by way of furniutre, only two hill broken chairs, tho dingy bed upon which the patient lav, aud a small unblackened cooking stove. The walls were dirty Bd smoky. and. the sombre glare of a greasy, old oil Umpr with a chimney nearly ob scured bv the accumulated soot of many weeks, oast but a feebLo light aroaud. . . I looked at tha woman stretched out aud nearly cold before me, aud as her closed eyes quivered with a faint but ineffectual attempt to open when her dull ears caught the sound of our coming, I shook my head: The face of my conductor leu. "Is she past hope?" the man asked anxiously in a whisper , I nodded amrmatively. "I bought some brandy as I came to you," said the kind-henrtod fellow,: still iu a whisper, "wouldn't that do some good ?" I reached oat my hand for it and tasted it: it was vito stun a nausc- ous compound of true whisky and adulterated cognag oilr but it was the best sold in the neighborhood,, it had -strength so I put the ftask to the patient's lips and forced a few drops down her throat She revived almost instaataeously and opened her eyes widely. "Where is it? oh, where is it?" she gasped faintly, and her pale, boDy fin gejrs began a tremulous searoh about her neck. I thought it waa delirium and wait ed silently. At length she fastened on' a gold chain that hung about her neck, one end of which was hidden away in her boson. ' A shade of relief passed over her w rii countenance at this, ad;draw ing the portion that had been conceal ed into the light, she clasped oonvuK sively in both hands a snaall iron key that was attached to it, and pressed it to her lips. 1 ' ' ; J " "Thank heaven I" she n?unnired,-as; she did this and glanced sharply about' the 4placs.
