The last, telegraphic discovery is

for the following, we suppose. Mr.

without wires. The American savs:
"It is not impossible that as the proper

damaging them very seriously. The
following, from a special to the
Philadelphia Press, Republican, will
explain matters:
"Washington. October 23. The politi
cal assessment machine is driving the clerks
in the departments well nigh wild. Some
of them have been assessed twice, and in
order to meet these forced loans, for non
payment of which dismissal is feared, debts
have been incurred and in many instances
the comforts of life sacrificed. There is
searcely a business man in Washington
who has not heard stories of hardship and
suffering from customers forced to ask
credit because of the demands of the Con
gressional, National and State committees.
Even the boarding-housekeepers storm at
the Jay Hubbell machine, because it de
prives them of the cash by which their
houses are maintained. The clerks in the
Railway Mail service have been forced to
donate a per centage of their salaries to
swell the campaign funds. One clerk on a
.North Carolina railroad, who risks his life
daily on the wretched tracks of a poorly'
equipped line for a salary of $1,100 per
annum, was assessed $20 by the Hubbell
committee and $10 by a local committee."
The New York Tribune charges
that Howard Carroll, the Arthur can

in New York, offered to pay $15,000
when he was hanging about the
State committee rooms begging for
the nomination and button-holding
acquaintances to intercede with the

SENATOR VANCE.
Wilmington's Welcome to North Car-
ollna's Favorite Son Grand Demo
cratic Demonstration An Immense
Gathering of Citizens The Speaking
Senator Ransom Tne Speaking
,To-NIght.
Our city was alive last night. The
streets were crowded with people of all
ages and conditions, and illuminated with
blazing tar barrels, to welcome North Caro
Una's favorite son, Hon. Zeb. B. Vance.
Everybody was iu good humor, and one
could not turn a corner without hearing
the exclamation: " Old Zebis here and is
going to speak to-night!"
No man living has such a hold upon the
popular heart as Vance, and this was clear
ly demonstrated here last evening, for we
saw men upon the streets who seldom leave
their homes after dark and never attend
political meetings, but who were as eager to
see and to hear him as the most enthusias
tic young American.
Shortly after 7 o'clock there was a gather
ing of the clans at the City Hall with flam
ing torches and transparencies, and at the
hour named in the official programme the
procession, headed by the mounted escort,
took up the line of march down Princess
street to Front, and down Front to the Pur
cell House, when receiving the distin
guished visitor, they moved up Market
street to Thiid to the stand prepared for
the speaking. It was an oration, such a
one as only Vance could inspire, and shows
how strong is the affection felt for him by
all classes of our people. Great credit is
aue to tne committee, and to tne young
men particularly for the perfect manner in
which the arrangements were carried out
We think there were at least fifteen hun
dred people present, and very many ladies
graced the occasion with their presence.
After music by the band the Hon. George
Davis arose and in his peculiarly felicitous
manner introduced the orator of the eveu
ing. As soon as the well-known form of
the Senator appeared upon the stand cheer
upon cheer went up from the vast multi
tude, and it was some time before silence
could be obtained, for the people wanted
to and would hurrah anyhow. Quiet at
length reigned and the Senator commenced
his speech. It was a speech of great power,
argumentative and logical, showing the
falsity of Radical profession and how recre
ant they had been in the fulfilment of any
promise they had made to the people; it
was a summary of the doings of that party
contrasted with what the Democratic party
had done. He showed that there were
between four and five hundred thousand
children in the State, black and white,
now being educated at the expense of the
State, and that there was no increase in the
taxes. Isormal schools had also been es
tablished, an Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb
and the Blind and for the Insane of the
colored people had been built and were in
successful operation, an Agricultural Bu
reau of great benefit to the farming inter
ests of the State had been organized, the
interest on the State debt promptly met
and nearly six hundred miles of railroad
built in North Carolina, and while all these
things had been douo by the Democratic
party there had been no increase of taxes,
while he defied the Republican party to
show where they had ever piled one brick
upon another for the public good. lie
next turned his attention to the Liberal
Democrats, so-called, who were candidates
for office, and allowed themselves to be
made tools of by the Radical leaders, and
held them up to public scorn, declaring that
they had been bought by the promise of of
fice and were the property of the Radical
party. His argument upon the tariff was un
answerable and carried conviction to eve
ry mind not governed by prejudice. Upon
that most important question of all to this
pection of the State, viz: county government,
he was outspoken, frank and manly in de
fense of the present system, and his argu
ment in favor of it cannot be successfully
refuted.
We do not pretend to give a report of the
speech, but simply a glance at its salient
points. He closed with a fervent appeal to
every man present to do his duty, having
spoken about two hours and a half. It was
a speech that will do great good. We never
saw so large a crowd so quiet and attentive.
There was no noise or disturbance, and eve
ry one left the ground feeling that there was
but one Zeb Vance in America, and proud
of the fact that Zeb was a Tar Heel.
To-night at 8 o'clock, under the auspi
ces of the Young Men's Democratic Club,
Senator Ransom will address the citizens
of Wilmington from the stand on Third
street. Let all good citizens come out to
hear him. Let us greet the distinguished
Ransom with the same audience that wel
comed last night the peerless Vance. The
official programme is as follows:
The torchlight procession will meet at
the City Hall at 7 30 P. M., and report to
Chief Marshal H. McL. Green, and As
sistant Marshals Thoma3 E. Bond. J. G.

shal. All good Democrats arc cordially
invited to join this escort or take some
other position in the procession. Torches

Arrival of Got. Vance.
Iron. Z. B. Vance arrived at the Front
street depot yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock, on the special train which left here
at 2 P. M. for Burgaw. There was quite a
large crowd at the depot to meet our dis
tinguished visitor, and as he rode down
Front street in a carriage drawn by four
beautiful grays, and accompanied by G J.
Boney, Chairman of our Executive Com
mittee, Capt. V. V. Richardson, Chairman
of the Executive Committee of Colum
bus county, and, we believe, another gentle
man, he was the observed of all observers.
The Cornet Concert Club was on the spe
cial train, and headed the escort which ac
companied the Senator to the Purcell
Hous.e, furnishing excellent music, especi
ally considering that the band has had no
practice lately. At the time the carriage
reached the hotel the street was thronged
with people, all anxious to get a look at
North Carolina's favorite son. The Sena
tor, upon leaving the carriage, proceeded
immediately into the hotel, no doubt anx
ious to get what little rest and refreshment
he could to fit him for the work of the
evening. He met quite a number of his
friends during the interval between his ar
rival and the time for the speaking to com
mence. Pale Luna no Longer.
Those who had an opportunity of ob
serving the moonlight for any length of
time, on Wednesday night, coincide in the
opinion that it excelled in brilliancy any
they had ever seen. The rays of the moon
almost rivalled those of the sun in bright
ness, and so nearly converted the night into
day that several of our wakeful friends, as
they have informed us, had to consult their
clocks to see if they had not been wooing
the drowsy god until surrounded by the
broad sunlight of another day. It appeared
brightest between the hours of 1 and 3
o'clock, and a perfectly clear sky of deep
est blue.a bracing atmosphere, scarcely ruf
fled by a breath of air or stirred by the vi
brations of a single sound, rendered the
scene more enchanting in its serene loveli
ness.
Armstrong's ITilnstrels.
The first, minstrels this season will appear
at the Opera House Monday evening. We
clip the following from the Raleigh Visitor:
"The above minstrels played at Tucker
Hall last night to a good audience though
they were entitled to a full house. They
gave more solid fun during their two hours
entertainment than any similar minstrel
performance we ever attended. Mr. Billy
Armstrong as the aged negro impersonator
was splendid. The roller skate act by the
rowers Brothers was quite amusing. The
ringing of the Monumental Quartette was
very fine. Mr. Edward Mealy 8 playing on
two cornets at once was very remarkable.
The performance throughout was chaste,
not a word or act of vulgarity was visible
in the entertainment. The show is one of
the best that has ever visited this city. "
The Hibernian Society's Socia blc-Dis
tinguished Visitors.
The Sociable of the Hibernian Society,
at Germania Hall last night, was enlivened
by the presence of Wilmington's two dis
tinguished visitors. Senators Vance and
Ransom. Brief speeches of welcome were
made and responded to, after which a
pleasant hour was spent by theni in partici
pating in the enjoyments of the evening.
