The Dispatch then says : "We have indubitable proof of the fact in a speech made in the New York Senate last Thursday by Mr. Jacobs, who waa President of the late Tilden. Convention, and is a delegate to Cincinnati. He said: 'The Democracy of this State can get along without Mr. Tilden, and the Democracy of the country can get along without him, and if we find it policy to nominate somebody else, somebody else will be nominated, be cause we mean to win in this election. The senator says I have pronounced myself an anti-Tilden man. If I am an anti-Tilden man it is because I do not think he can be elected, and because I think too much of my country, even with the veneration and love I entertain for Mr. Tilden, to support a hopeless candidacy. I do not believe for a moment that Mr. Tilden will be a candi date unless he thinks he can be elected, and I think I can say fbr the delecation chosen to represent the Democracy of the State at Cincinnati that a large majority will oppose the nomination of any man that they think cannot be elected.'

Tne; Procession Ceremonlea at tne Cemetery Address ol ITI aj-Graham , -. Darn-Decorating ino Graves. See Yesterday was the day recently sat apart by the Ladies' Memorial Association pf this city to be hereafter observed in Wilmington as Memorial Day.in place of May 10th, the day heretofore held in sacred remembrance This change is made mainly for the reason that the 26th of April was the dayon which Gen. Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his army of brave Confederates at Greensboro, and thus put the finishing stroke to the ex piring Confederacy, which he and his brave compatriots loved so well. THE PROCESSION was formed on Market street, between 3 and 4 o'clock, by Chief Marshal James C, Stevenson, assisted by his aids, Messrs. J. G. Wright, J. H. Mallard, E. A. Maffltt, E. W. Manning, A. Carpenter, H. C. Prem pert, James F. Post, W. A. Whitehead, J. H. Hicks, Thomas D. Meares, E. H. King, Rod. McRae and C. H. King; Assistant Marshals T. A. Brown and J. A. White being on duty at the Cemetery. It con slated of the Ladies' Memorial Association, the Children's Memorial Association-, the Wilmington Light Infantry, (which we were glad to see out in full force, under command of Capt. A. L. DeRoseet), the Cadets of the Cape Fear Academy, Association of Officers of the 3rd N. C. Infantry, Memorial -Association of the Third North Carolina Infantry, schools, in charge of their teachers, Gen. M. P. Taylor and Staff, officers of the Artillery Staff, carriages containing the Orator and Chaplain, citizens on foot, etc. The column was headed by the Cornet Concert Club, in'their handsome uniform, with new and beautiful caps. The precession took up its line of march up Fourth to Campbell street, and out Campbell street to Oakdale Cemetery, the bells of the various churches tolling while it was in motion. Upon reaching Campbell street the Cape Fear Light Artillery, with their pieces on what was formerly the Athletic Club Grounds, overlooking the Cemetery Grounds, commenced bring a salute of thirty-six guns. AT THE GROUNDS. In the meantime a large crowd o,ineo, women and children, inov.eu by patriotic motives, and unheeding the intense warmth of the weather, had gathered upon the Cemetery Grounds la the vicinity of the Confederate lot. These waited with much eagerness the appearance of the procession, occasionally agitated by a nervous tremor, as the boom of a cannon was wafted upon the breezes. Finally the bright uniforms and glittering bayonets of the military, and the banners and flags of the various associ ations were seen ascending the hill near by, and shortly the whole procession was slowly making its way into the grounds. marching to the mournful strains of the Cornet Band. THE CEREMONIES. Arrived in the Confederate rot, the cere monies were commenced by a dirge by the Cornet Concert Club, which was followed by an appropriate and impressive prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. E. A. Yates, which wc append : "Almighty God, we acknowledge Thee to be our God. our riehtful Sovereign, and the proper object of our worship and ser vice. Help us, we pray Thee, that in coming into Thy presence at this hour, we may have some last appreciation or the greatness of Thy character, and be hearti ly thankful for the varied expressions of Thy wonderful goodness. May we not only recognize Thee as our uod, out nave also a consciousness that, in a special ana peculiar sense. Thou art our Father; and may we be this day the objects of a'f ather'S support and blessing. We have assembled here in this habitation of the dead in re spect to the memory of those noble men who fell in the heroic defense of what they thought was last and right. They are be yond the reach of our praise or censure. and will sleep on until the archangel's voice shall break the silence of the grave and start into life those who sleep in the dust. They were loved in life, and in death are not forgotten . Help us to shun their errors, for to err is human; help us te imitate their virtues, for virtue is divine. And may we ever keep before us the great truth that a happy and peaceful death is in the ratio of a just and holy life. We pray for our country that all sectional feeling and ani mosity, all strife and bloodshed, all war and wickedness, may give way before the Gospel of the Son of God, and the divine trinity of truth and peace and love make her home with us forever. May it please Thee, oh Lord, to overrule the acts of men for their own glory, and that we may have preserved to us and our posterity the bless ing of civil and religious liberty. May our law-makers and rulers ask the Divine gui dance and favor, and may all plans and measures looking to law and government be so directed by Tby Spirit as to issue in results that will secure to us the blessiBg of being that happy people whose God is the Lord. Commend Thy blessing upon Tby servant who shall speak to as this day. Give him grace to haye a clear perception of the duty of the hour, and may thought and sentiment, word and delivery, be ac ceptable in Tby sight, oh Lord, our strength and our Redeemer. And when we are called to this last earthly house of all the living, may we lie down to sleep with the dead in some hope of a blissful immortality, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." At the close of the prayer there was an other dirge by the band, -followed by the singing by the choir, with organ accom paninent, of a beautiful memorial ode, which was exquisitely rendered. - . THE ADDRESS. . Chief Marshal Stevenson then, in a very neat and appropriate little speech, intro duced the orator of the occasion, Maj. Graham Daves, who proceeded to deliver an address of uncommon interest, replete with patriotic sentiments and allusions. . It was ah address in every way befitting the day and the occasion, and upon its conclu sion Maj. Daves waa warmly congratulated by his friends. . The "speaker declined, to furnish the address for publication, and we APRIL27V 1880 shall not do him the injustice to attempt synopsis.

" ' .'" The State Dlfflenlty in render. Mr. B. C. Barden requests us to give his version of the late difficulty between him self and Mr. W. D. Mahn, and as we gave the latter gentleman's' statement of the affair we must in common justice give that of Mr. Barden also. Mr. Barden says there was an understanding between Mr. Mahn and himself that he (B.) should take care of some of Mr. Mann's stock during' the winter, and, for recompense, haye the use of the same the ensuing year; that when the spring came on Mr. M. demand ed the milch cows and oxen by order and Insulting letters, Mr. B. refusing to accede to the same unless compensated by Mr. M. for forage used; this arrangement was re fused by Mr. M., who intimated that he would have them anyway. Mr. B. next gives the substance of the evidence before Justices Jones and Armstrong in relation to the difficulty in Mr. B.'s field, which is too lengthy for insertion. It claims, in short, that Mr. Mahn went t6 the place where he (B.) was working one of the oxen in dispute and demanded the same, which was refused; that he (M.) intimated his in tention- of taking the ox, and made a threatening demonstration, when the diffi culty to which allusion has been made en sued, fhe 8ubstanceof the evidence as given by Mr. B. going to show that Mr. M. made the assault and Mr. B. only repulsed the same, being quiet all the time while his oppo nent was in a rage. As to the truth of this statement Mr. B. refers to J. Jones, Esq., who tried the cases and found Mr. M. guilty of forcible trespass and assault and battery, and to Messrs. L. D. Cherry, E. F. wood ana Bruce Williams, who were present. Pender Delegate.

Under this head the last Charlotte Ob- wner says: "It Is stated that a letter was received in this city yeBterdsy from a gen tleman who has an opportunity of knowing something of the purposes of railroad syn dicates, that W. P. . Clyde, of the Clyde Line of steamers, who recently purchased the Greenville & Columbia railroad, will no doubt buy the Carolina Central at the mortgage sale, which is to take place in Wilmington on- the 31st of May." Upon inquiry we learn that there is no such information here. In fact it is under stood in Wilmington that in all human probability the first mortgage bondholders will purchase the road. Another Robber Comes to Orlef. On Sunday morning we announced that one Joe Campbell, . colored, . had been brought to this city and lodged in jaD, under a commitment from Justice Blood worth, charged with breaking into the store of Mr.-Thomas Williams, at the Rocky Point Quarry, on Wednesday last, and stealing $75 in money. Yesterday morning an officer arrived here with one Thomas Haywood, colored, charged with being im plicated in the - same robbery; and sent nnder commitment from "Justice Blood" worth, in default of a justified bond In the sum of $100, to be committed to the county jail, th.ro to await bis trial at the next term of Fender Superior Court,. 1 All WHOLE NO. 3,963 To-lay inoientlonsr West winds, warmer.partly cloudy weath er and occasional rains, rising barometer; possioiy , louowed by ;, cooler northwest winds.Jare the indications for this section to-day. nauroas to the Sound Aleetlas at the Court House. The meeting held at the Court House yesterday evening of stockholders and others interested in the proposed railroad totbe Sound, was not very largely attended. Col. John McRae was called to the chair, and Mr. S. Jewett was requested to act as Secretary.. . Mr. John ColvUle advocated a wooden tram-way, with an outfit costing about $13,000. Such a road, he stated, would cost about $600 per mile, and could be run with safety at a speed of fifteen miles per howr. The tram-way would last three years. In answer to an inquiry, Mr. William Lar kins stated that between $6,000 and $7,000 had been subscribed to the stock of the Company not enough to justify the expectation of an iron road. " Mr. Rod. McRae stated that it would cost about $26,000 to build a first-class iron road to the Sound, rolling stock in cluded. ' On motion the suggestion of a wooden tram-way was adopted. A motion of Mr. Larkins, that the chair man appoint a committee of nine stock holders to solicit additional subscriptions, was adopted. On motion this committee was empow ered 10 call the next meeting for the par pose of organizing the Company, naming the time and place. On motion the meeting adjourned. Belle vae Cemetery. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bellevue Cemetery Company was held at the City Hall yesterday evening. E. W. Manning, Esq., was reelected President, and Messrs. Jas. Alderman, S. H. Morton, J. C. Borneman, J. D. Bellamy, Jr., Jas. Bagley, P. H. Smith and J. H. McGarity, the old Board of Directors, were also reelected. The finances of the Company were re ported to be in a satisfactory condition. There were 37 interments in the cemetery during the year, besides a number of re interments. The Directors held a meeting immedi ately after the adjournment of the stock holders' meeting and reelected Jbo. A Everett, Vice President, and. J. S. Mc Eachern, Se cretary.acd Treasurer. The President and Directors instructed the Secretary to thank the Mayor for the use of the hall, and the meeting then ad journed. The Wednesday Evening Entertain ment at the Opera Bouse. The entertainment at the Opera House Wednesday evening promises to be even better than the former one under the same management. Extra' efforts are being made by those particularly interested to make it a success in every sense of the word, and eminently deserving of the patronage and encouragement of our citizens. Among the other attractions, all of which are de serving bf mention, will be an Irish song in character by Mr. H. F. Clark, several vocal gems by Wilmington's favorite songstress, Mrs. Kahnweiler, and humorous songs by Mr. George Myers, whose vocal efforts were received with such uproarious ap plause on former occasions. Mrs. Jarley's wax figures will also have several attractive additions, and, altogether, the entertain ment bids fair to be a most interesting and amusing one. The Italian harpers will play during the intervals. mayor's court Aaron Jones and Julia Pearsall, both of the colored persuasion, were arraigned on the charge of acting disorderly on the streets. Judgment was suspended on the payment of costs, David Mallett, the "irrepressible," was up for being drunk and down, a complaint to which be is frequently addicted. Da vid made a very pathetic appeal to His Honor for leniency in his case, promising if let off to leave the city in one week from date.
