MERRlLt. Iii the Seriate o tW United States Tuesday Mr" Bayard, of Delaware, introduced a resolution caHincr 011 the President to-inform the Senate wheth er any officer of the army had received money or fees from the' Legislature of South Carolina for- services ren dered the State. He said orrV Wed nesday in explaining the resolution that he was morally convinced that Major Louis Merrill, of the Seventh United States Cavalry, received from the State of South Carolina. $21,400 for his ageuey in securing the arrest and coiiviction of persons engaged in alleged Ku Klux outrages, and that ithe said Merrillaided in lobbying the ibill through'tbe South Carolina Leg islature, giving thirty-five thousand dollars to persons who should secure such arrests and convictions. It will be remembered that this man Merrill was an ensmalled Claverhouse going about the upper part of the State of South Carolina arresting men and dragging them up for trial on all sorts of charges, some of which were trumped up for political pur poses. But malignant and cruel as he persecutor .at the Scottish Conve nanters was, we; have infinitely more respect for him Ithan we have for the United States officer who did the foul work for Grant . jm South Carolina. This resolution of Senator Bayard should be adopted and the facts should be forthcoming. If Maj. Mer rill did receive the reward alleged, it ought to be known how far the deg radation of the military service is to extend. No officer of the army under the old regime," when Southern gen tlemen were thej life of the service, cjauld have acte4 with the audacious impunity charged upon Merrill? Are the charges truej?

The boy Teplied that a colored woman sent him after them Mr. Wiley caught the boy and .look the pants from him, after which he turned, him loose, being more lenient 'in ; that respect than moat people would be under like cir cumstances. " FEBRUARY; 14, 1874. OPERA HOUSE. Miss Putnam's Benefit. Miss Putnam's benefit last evening was a fitting climax of the grand ovation which she has received during her second engage ment in Wilmington. Utile Nell and the Marchioness is one of the best performances given by the Katie Putnam troupe. Miss Putnam achieves a grand suecess ia the title-role, and Mr. Browne as Dick JSmveUes gives one of the very best characterizations known to our present stage. Mr. Kennicott's QieSj) is an excellent piece of acting,, and ef Mr Nugent and Mr. Holland it is only just to say that they faithfully and accurately met all the re quirements of their respective rbles. Mr. Burton and Mrs. Nash were conspicuous in the performance, and - merited the cordial expressions of appreciation so liberally be stowed upon them by the audience. A notable and interesting feature of the performance was the presentation of a watch and chain from her numerous ad mirers in Wilmington to Miss Putnam. The presentation was made by Mr. Alex. T. London with the handsome address which appears in this morning's Stab. A Colored Preacher Sent to.tbe Peni tentiary. The Rev. David Howard, colored, is one of the convicts just sentenced by the Supe rior Court of this county to serve a term of five years in the State Penitentiary. The prisoner states that he is now a Methodist preacher, but that he formerly performed the same functions in the Baptist Church. In an evil hour he abandoned his sacred calling and took to stealing, thinking it would pay better; and a short term in the County Work House did not have the de sired effect of turning him back to the path of rectitude and honesty, but rather seemed to stimulate the wicked propensities which had been aroused in his nature. He again embarked on his career of crime, escaping detection until he got to dabbling in tar a few weeks since, a fla load of which he stole from Rock "Springs wharf, when he got stuck. He will now have ample time, in the quiet shades of private life which will be vouchsafed him in the Penitentiary, to reflect upon the fact, which must now be apparent to him, that verily and truly the way of the transgressor is hard." mayors' Court. The following cases were disposed of yesterday morning: Dennis Miller alias Dennis McKoy, Aaron Heath and Jerry Morris, charged with lar ceny, were found guilty. Miller was re quired to give security in the sum of $300, and the other two $200 each,for their appear ance at the next term of the Superior Court. Miller alias McKoy is the individual who was caught in the act of stealing a pair of pants from the store of M. M. Katz, Esq., on Wednesday last,nd Heath and Morris have since been arrested on the charge of being implicated in the same affair, which the evidence indicated to be the case. Dennis Miller alias McKoy, charged with disorderly conduct and fighting the witness in the above case, was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine ef $20 or work for thirty days on the streets. One case for allowing a cow to run at large, was appropriately disposed of. A Sad Death. Mr. Lewis W. Huggins, son of the late Owen Huggins, of Onslow, and formerly a resident of this place, breathed his last on Tuesday, the 10th inst, at Mrs. Blount's Hotel, in Wilson. The Advance says he ajpived there about one week before his death and was so sick when he came that he was delirious most of the time. He was travelling in the interest of the American Grocer Publishing Company. During his sickness, he was the recipient of every at tention that could be extended by the citi zens of Wilson, but the disease, pneumonia, had taken such a deep hold before his arrival that medical skill and unwearied nursing proved of no avail. In response to a tele gram from Col. Devane, of this city, the remains were forwarded on Wednesday to Magnolia, to be taken thence, we suppose, to Onslow. Commencement of the Florence and Fayetteville Railroad. A friend at Fayetteville informs us that, under the direction of the energetic and persevering Chief Engineer, Maj. D. G. McDuffie, the work on the Florence Rail road has been commenced. The first ground was broken on the 10th inst., at the inter section of Dick with Person stieet. It is understood that a narrow gauge has been determined upon for the present, and as the prospect brightens so will the road widen. It is possible that the gauge may be made to conform to the North Eastern by the time tbe rails are laid to Florence. All hail to old Fayetteville. A new era dawns upon her. More Stealing, Early yesterday morning some one made a raid upon the residence of Mr. Jas. Skip per, on Queen, between Fifth and Sixth streets, and stole a dress coat and vest," to gether with a police badge, No. 119, and a gold Temple of Honor and Temperance badge. The coat and vest were hanging on a nail near a window in one of the rear rooms of the house, and the thief secured the articles by raising the window, reaching his hand in and taking them off the nail. FIrlns on the Streets. The Old practice of discharging firearms on the Btreets in the neighborhood of Sixth and Castle streets, after nightfall, has again been commenced, much to the annoyance of citizens in that vicinity. The practice should be nipped in the bud. ' WHOLE NO. 1,991. Presentation Speech. ' V. The following is the speech of Mr. A. Ti London, delivered at the Opera House last eyening, in presenting to Miss Katie Put nam the handsome gold watch tendered by her admirers in this city: Permit me, my dear Miss Putnambn be half of your friends, the ladies and gentle men of Wilmington, to thank you for this visit, which has afforded us the opportunity of again seeing your charming and unequal led impersonations; of some of the most beautiful characters in modern drama. The delicacy and refinement which has characterized- your entertainments has only been equalled by the high order of talent exhibited in their rendition, and they have done much to elevate the taste and moral tone of the community. In common with your other friends and admirers, I have wept over your " Little Nell," and laughed over "The Little Rebel;" and I assure you that your Wilmington friends will, in your journey through life, always weep with you in misfortune, and rejoice in the success which mut attend you. With a view to give a tangible expression to their admiration and respect for a lovely lady and genuine artiste, a few friends have desired through me, their willing medium, to offer this slight testimonial of their regard and esteem, and with it to express a fervent wish that you may soon return to us, with the perfect assurance of alawys receiving a WILMI2?GTON WELCOME. In accepting the present Miss Putnan re sponded in an appropriate manner. To the Werlc House.
