The Prize Suit for the Capture of Richmond- A $3,000,000 Claim Uoue Cllmmerlug. fSpecial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, May 18. The Sapreme Court oCthe District of Columbia, in General Term, to day, decided the celebrated suits of Attmiial Porter and the officers and men of the North Atlantic squadron for prize money on account of the capture of Richmond. In 1874, nine years after the conclusion of the war, suits Were entered in the courts of this District in behalf of the officers and men of the North Atlantic squadron, claiming in the aggregate about 3,000,000 in prize money for the part taken by the squadron in the capture of Richmond. Included in these suits were claims for bounty money for every man cap tured on the Confederate flotillas and batteries at the rate of $200 per head, and also bounty for all ships and batteries destroyed by the Con federates on the York and Pamunkey rivers to prevent them falling into the hands of the Union forces. Prize money was also claimed on account of the capture of the Texas and Beau fort, Confederate men-of-war, and in the bill the value of these two ships was appraised at $892,121. The court then unanimously reversed the former proceedings and dismissed all the libels. The libellants still have the privilege of appealing to the Su preme Court of the United States, but if they should conclude to do so they will undoubtedly meet with the same fate that they have received at the hands of the District judiciary, and keep alive a scandal which is do ing them no credit. Advance In Corn. Baltimore Sun of Saturday. After two or three days of com parative quiet the corn market took a sudden jump yesterday, and marked an advance of 22 cents per bushel at the close of the day. Western corn for immediate and May delivery closing at 67 cents, and for June at 67 cents, with more buyers than sellers. The advance is said to be due to an improvement on the other side, which stimulated buy ing orders from the West. At New York corn advanced 1 cent, and at Chicago l cents per bushel. The markets for wheat and flour were more steady, without any material advance. Colored minlater Preaches to a White Kpleeopal Congregation. Chattanooga, May 18. The Episcopal Diocesan Conven tion is in session here. Rev. John B. McConnell, colored, of the Em manuel Church at Memphis, delivered n impressive sermon last night, it eing the first instance in the United States of a colored clergyman preaching to a white congregation in an Episcopal Church.

Reported for the Baltimore Sun. The Methodist Protestant General Convention, (reunited,) Rev. Dr. L. W. Bates presiding, continued its sessions in Starr Church, Poppleton street, yesterday. The principal work of the day was the consideration of various reports from the committee of Revision of Church Discipline, and fair progress was made. The ieports of the com mittee conform almost entirely with the agreement of the Pittsburg com missioners on all disputed points. The constitution, elementary prin ciples and preamble, on which the work is based, are those used by the Methodist TProtestant Church since 1831. The committee on boundaries made The VOL. XX.---NO. 52. a partial report relating to North Carolina only. The report says that the whole State shall remain one dis trict as laid down in the Methodist Protestant discipline. The district is sub-divided into the Allegheny Conference, hitherto East North Carolina Conference according to the Methodist division, and Deep Run Conference, or the former West North Carolina Conference in the Methodist division.

The Judge rendered his decision in favor of the plaintiff, holding that the waiver was valid. Defendant appealed. Connor and Woodard for plaintiff and Kenan & Murray for defendant. A Bis Haul. Charlotte Observer. Deputy Collector Cowles has just returned from a big raid on the block ade runners in Wilkes county, which was the largest and most successful ever made: and the fact that no United States troops were with them gives a contradiction to the state ment that these are necessary to en force the Revenue laws in Western North Carolina. The whole party numbered fifteen, being deputy collec tors, marshals, "subs" and storekeep ers the latter have never been re -quired to engage in this business be fore. They left headquarters . at Statesville about two weeks ago and "nosed" around through the mount tains for ten days. During this time they captured in all about a thousand gallons of unstamped whiskey, ar rested nine parties charged with il licit distilling and destroyed sixty atills which were being operated. They went into reeesses of the moun tains hitherto unexplored even by the "red-legged grasshoppers," and found one or more distillers on al most every branch, and sometimes two or three would be found to gether.

Parade of tbe Wilmington Light in fantry, the cape Fear Light Artil lery Otber Organizations In Line Oration by Hon. Edward Cant well, Ac. The 20th of May, the anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, as dear to North Carolinians as the Fourth of July is to the patriots ot the whole coun try, falling this year oa Sunday, the Wil mington Light Infantry and the Cape Fear Light Artillery, who also lay claim to the 20th as their anniversary day, celebrated yesterday, instead, with becoming and ap propriate ceremonies. The Cape Fear Light Artillery Company, under command of Capt. H. G. Planner, the Wilmington Light Infantry, under command of Capt Walter Coney, the Vet eran Corps, under command of Capt. Henry Savage, the last ante-war Captain of the Wilmington Light Infantry, the honorary members and the gentlemen composing the choir, for the occasion, formed in procession at the Armory on Front street at half past 3 o'clock, from whence they marched to the Dawson Bank building, where the members of the Pro duce Exchange fell into ranks; thence to the corner of Front and Princess streets, where they were joined by the Mexican Veterans, under command of Lieut. James Reilley, of the Cape Fear Light Artillery, himselfjone of the Veterans f thence to the Bank of New Hanover, where the members of the Board of Trade took their place in the line, and thence up Princess street to the Evans Block, where the Historical and Scientific Society were received. The whole column then, under command of Major M. P. Taylor, of the Secoud Battalion of N. C. State Guards, who was mounted, with Lieut. N. H. Sprunt, of the Wilmington Light Infantry, as Ad jutant of the day, moved up Princess street to the Opera House. Tbe Veteran Corps wore fatigue caps, each of the corps, some twenty in number, looking every inch a soldier, while the Mexican Veterans bore aloft an old United States Hag, the property of Col. J. L. Cantwell, which was the first national ensign that floated inside of the City of Mexico upon its capture by the United States troops. The whole column in procession, as they took up the line of march for the Opera House, headed by the "Dram Corps," with the beautiful banner of the Wilmington Light Infantry, pre sented to them by the ladies of Wilming ton, borne aloft, made a very fine and imposing appearance. Arriving on the pavement in front of the Opera House the military halted, came to a front and present arms, when the vari ous civic organizations marched into the building, the military bringing up the rear. The Opera House was well filled, quite a number of ladies and gentlemen having preceded the procession and become seated before its arrival. As soon as quietness was restored, and the orator and reader of the day, the Chap, lain, the gentlemen of the choir, composed of Messrs. W. H. Northrop, C. H. Robin son, J. I. Metts and W. F. Hargrave, and others bad been seated on the stage, Capt. A. L. DeRosset announced that Rev. Geo. Patterson, Chaplain of the Wilmington Light Infantry, would open the ceremonies with prayer. Rev. Mr. Patterson then made a brief but impressive petition to the Throne of Grace, invoking a blessing upon the pro ceedings, which was followed by tbe sing ing by the choir (Prof. Van Lear, as Musi cal Director, being at the piano) of the "Old North State," with some variations from the original, which was received with great applause, the audience rising to their feet and joining in the chorus to the last stanza, amid the wildest enthusiasm, wav ing of hats, handkerchiefs, &c. Capt. DeRosset then announced that "Old Lang Syne" would be sung as a special compliment to the Mexican Vet erans, to revive in some manner the me mories and recollections of tbe past deeds of valor and heroism in which they had been participants. This was befittingly rendered by the choir, assisted by Prof. Van Lear, .after which Capt. DeRosset very gracefully introduced the orator of the day, Hon. Edward Cantwell. Judge Cantwell' s address was a long, able and eloquent one, abounding in facts, statistics and historical reminiscences of the Wilmington Light Infantry Company from its first organization in 1853 up to tbe present time, which, however, were of such a character as to render an intelligent sy nopsis almost impossible, while the entire address was too lengthy for our columns. The address was frequently applauded du ring the course of its delivery, the conclu ding portion of whish we give is follows: "I cannot conclude this addrtss without acknowledging my own sense ol its imper fections and omissions and regretting the necessity I am under of invoking your in dulgence. I have not drawn jpon your patience, however, I hope, vithout re warding it by the recital of incidents I am sure you will not willingly suffer to pass with me into oblivion. I am constrained to omit many which are even toore inter esting. At the risk of being, tedious, I shall now ask your attention vh'ile I at tempt to recall tbe brightest vision ot our ante-helium days. The blue-eyed Dora Brown, the vivandiere of the Ligat Infantry, as she appeared at the head of the Com? pany some years before the war, 10 her gay costume of green and fiold not yet entered in her teens graceful as an houri ; beaming with tbe vivacity ef her age and family ; a child of beauty and of song ; tbe golden sunlight streaming in her hair and flashing from her eyes, she marched with the swinging gait and cadence of a veteran, but the grace of a sylph; Ifl IW MAY 22, 1877. du Regiment still lives, but happier now, in the achievement of her destiny and the fulfillment of the duties of a more exalted station. How often on the tented fields of Vir ginia, fluttering above the white winged canvas, or toying in the breeze with the Stars and: Bars, through the silent watches of the starlit nights, pacing with the solita ry sentinel, when that sentinel's beat mark ed off tbe boundary lines of a Confedera cy; on the prison floors; in the bitter cold of Lake Erie; gleaming in the unsheathed bayonets of hostile columns, moving to the fray; in long and cruel marches by the dark Potomac, over sloppy roads; on the rampart crowned with cannon, wreathed with the battle smoke or sheeted in its flame, a guileless little maiden's face has risen on tbe soldier's eye like some exhala tion of , the mist, glassing all the hues of glory, and luring him on to those inspiring toils by which man masters men. "As on the driving cloud toe shiny bow, That gracious thing made up of tears and light, Mid' the wild rack and rain that slants below, Stands smiling forth unmoved and freshly brightl As though the epiritsof all lovely flowers, In weaving each its wreath and dewy crows, Or e'er they sank to earth in vernal showers. Had boat a bridge to tempt the angels down . " I congratulate you, Capt Coney, on the fine appearance and discipline of your com mand. I trust you will never find the mer chants and people of Wilmington, and es pecially the ladies, any less generous in their courtesy or less cordial in their attach ment to your company than they were ac customed to be in your predecessors' days. Down amid the tropics, beneath the fer vid skies of the equator, the aqueducts of Mexico arch her thirsty vales; from the mountains to the city they carry on their shoulders to the humblest dwellings of the people the pure life-giving waters of the Sierra Madre. And so we should learn to regard your company and this organiza tion. It comes down to us from the his toric past; it links the present generation of our young men to their predecessors. "Our living heroes and our dead;" our lowliest needs and our loftiest aspirations. Across a desert slough and a dark valley, crowded with shadows and death, it brings to Wil mington through clouds and mists, fringed with the rainbow hues of morning and fed with heaven's own sunshine, overleaping cascades and difficult hills, the fresh pure air and breath of patriotism. Soldiers, I do not ask you to-day to maintain your reputation, nor shall I repeat promises for your future conduct; your past history is the best guaranty for the future. Fellow-citizens, I shall make you no ap peal in behalf of this company. It is as though a man should plead to a mother in behalf of her offspring. Its sun will never set; its natural force will not abate until freedom itself shall die. We shall not see it expire until that living public spirit, which has characterized this community in every emergency of its existence, shall also disappear and forever. A reference in the earlier part of the ad dress to the probable reorganization of the German Volunteers at a not distant day, brought down the house. At the conclusion of the address, Mr. Jos M. Cronly was introduced, who, in a very clear and distinct voice, read the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, which was duly applauded at its olose. The ceremonies were then brought to a close by tbe singing of "Carolina's Sons are Ready," composed in honor of the Wilmington Light Infantry by Hon. George Davis, while they were on duty at Bolles' battery, near Fort Fisher, in 1861, which was full of fire and patriotism and sung to tbe tune of "Dixie." The ceremonies closed with much en thusiasm, and the military and other or ganizations then re-formed and marched to the Armory on Front street, where all but the Light Infantry disbanded, the hktec continuing their parade, evolutions, &c., on the streets until a late hour in the after noon. At the Armory at night the Wilmington Light Infantry, with the veteran corps and a few invited guests, appropriately con cluded the exercises of the day by assembling around the. festive board, pre sided over by Mr. B. Gleaves, where, when all.had partaken bountifully of the re freshments, the following toasts were offered: 1st. The Day we Celebrate. The anni versary of the Wilmington Light Infantry, may her members in tbe future prove as gallant and brave as they have always done in the past. Responded to by Capt Coney and Sur geon Geo. G. Thomas, of the Wilmington Light Infantry. 2d. The Cape Fear Light Artillery. If ever her guns are heard except in times of peace, may they always be heard to the front and at an advance. Responded to by Lt W. G. McRae, of the Cape Fear Light Artillery. 3d. The Veteran Corps of the W. L. I. May they live long to see their Old Com pany follow in their footsteps and never hear it said that any degeneration had taken place therein since 1861. Responded to by Col. E. D. Hall. 4th. The City of Wilmington. May her prosperity be boundless, her commerce and trade extend to the ends of the earth, her hospitality remain notorious and bar citi zens of every class reap the reward of their industry in health, wealth and happiness. Responded to by Capt C. D. Myers. 5th. The Fire Department of Wilming ton. What Moore can be said of it in the future than has been said in the past, that 'at any Price it would do its duty, and if ever it were a little Beery it always had A-driarCd to perform the labor assigned it. Responded to by Col. Roger Moore, Chief of the Fire Department. Song "Carolina." 7th. The Ladies May their bright smiles and kindly glances nerve every member of this company to renewed energy in drill and deportment, and if need should ever arise may their encouraging words create an enthusiasm in our breasts that deeds of gallantry in the past will pall in compari son with those performed in tbe future. Response by Mr. J. C. Stevenson. Col. Jno. L. Cantwell, Maj. M P. Tay lor, aqd Messrs. O. G. Parsley, Jr. , F. W. Kerchner, Ef. B WPs; and others, in re sponse to calls, spoke briefly! The Drum Corps of the company en hanced the occasion with several delight ful songs. After the committee of Ar rangements and the retiring ensign, Mr. J. M Cazaux, had been toasted, the "Queen of England" was proposed and Mr. Gleaves called on to respond, which he did very WHOLE NO. 3,055 happily by singing "God Save the Queen." "Carolina's Sons are Ready" was then sung by the assembled company, and the second anniversary of the reorganization of tbe Wilmington Light Infantry was passed and the crowd dispersed to meet on the same occasion one vear hence. . sniitlivllle Items.

The remains of poor "Sam" were placed in a suitable box, which was decorated with horns, and were followed to their last resting place by a number of sympathising Nimrods. It was proposed to decorate the box with fox skins, but this was objected to on the ground that the poor fellow would never rest easy in his grave with a fox skin so near to his body. "Requies dog in pace." RIVER AND TIAKSTVE ITEMS. An unknown vessel was reported off the Bar yesterday, apparently bound in.
