SYNOPSIS
Ac,
OF THE
dec,
speeches. :
Therewas another poster on the street cor
ners yesterday announcing a mass meeting of
freedmen to be held at the African graye yard
a yerygrave place for a grave meeting,
in the afternoon at 4 o'clock, to which all were
invited to attend to hear John Nixon deliver a
union address. Four o'clock came along about
the usual hour, but it brought but few of the
freedmen together, unless the female element
can be included under that denomination. Nev
ertheless, after some little delay and a call for
assembling from an enthusiastic African, the
scattered elements were gathered together, con
sisting mostly of women and young bays, under
the shade of a few trees, for a nucleus around
which the later arrivals should congregate. They
then came by two's and three's and at times by
half-dozens, until near two hundred were in
harmony, when there was a motion offered that
Wm. Finney be called to preside, which of course
was all agreeable, and William did so. He then
stated the object of the meeting to be to raise
a deficiency of money yet required to defray the
expenses of the delegates to the convention at
Raleigh. Without going into anything deeper
than the pockets of his hearers he addressed
himself, not, however, before telling them flat
that eighty dollars was wanted and eighty dok
lars must be had. He said it was always in
Wilmington "jes so," " jes so," until the time
come for the money and then the nerve was
touched and the negro was missing, but the
money must come, and that at all hazards.
Then John Nixon who was to deliver the union
address introduced himself to the crowd by tel
ling them they were on the road to the promised
land, but were yet in the wilderness, and lec
tured for some time on this expected transition,
when he jumped the suffrage question. He was
among good southern white people, he said, and
they were the friends of the black, if not, the
black was of the white, for they had been raised
and lived together, and because they had been
oppressed by the white man they were forgiving
and could forgive him. Oppression was the
cause of all trouble since the days of Cain, and
more particularly of the late war, but God
would oppress too if his hearers would not be
lieve in his twelve commandments, which would
carry them where they wanted to go, and heped
to go the new Jerusalem. He said they were
in a land of friends. If these whites did not
treat them at all times right they must not notice
it, but go on and bow to them, treat them all
right, and be loyal to them. He was a delegate
to Raleigh, and was going there to do the best
be could for his hearers who had sent him. He
was asking to be acknowledged a free and inde
pendent citizen of the United States wanted
equal and coequal rights. He asked nothing
more and would be satisfied with nothing less.
They had no right to abor him of these. He
wanted all rights, chief of which was the right
tc vote like a white man. He did not care
whether it was based upon " qualified, univer-.
sal suffrage" or not, but he wanted it. He
advised all to lie ladies and gentlemen. If they
wanted to be respected by God they must res
pect themselves. He then said a great many
other silly things, in about the style as given,
and resigned himself very gracefully to the
crowd below. (He spoke from a goods-box.)
He was very attentively listened to except by a
young child, who interfered with a yell once or
twice. He may be well disposed, but he will
never perhaps have the opportunity of addres
sing the congress of the nation with sueh a
union address as the one delivered at the AfrL
can grave yard yesterday afternoon, unless he
works on his brain machinery.
After this address calls were made for "Sampv
son, Sampson," from all parts of the multitude,
when Sampson ascended the box and indulged in
a flight of fancy andimagination and excused
himself, Closing his remarks with an appeal for
the balance oi eighty dollars.
Then Wm. Smith, another delegate, arose, and
he give it to them in broken doses, about suf-
rage, the great and living G od, their living in an
enemy's country, and Andy Johnson with Mr.
Lincoln and three years aeo. He excited him
self greatly from all appearances, and jttlt such
another effort would be fatal beyond doubt. He
was
not so liberal as Nixon towards Ms white
brethren, as they are , termed, and neither as in
telligible. He so Completely 4 obfuscated " the

Mayor's Court, Tuesday Before

The mayor's court met and adjourned and
that was alL It's acknowledged to be still a
court yet not a court, anl unless the docket
improves on the past few days a motion will be
for consideration, if it would not be advisable
to throw two sittiogs into one, as a matter of
expediency. A dry docket makes a dry mayor
no, for he never imbibes spiritually a sQDer

Perhaps it is well.
A Bad Cask. Justice Conoley committed to
the jail yesterday a white man by the name of
John Thompson, who was appeared against by
Mr. Kelly, of Bladen county, upon a charge of
stealing a watch. The watch was a gold one
and was identified by Mr. Kelly at the store of
Brown & Anderson, where it had been left' for
repairs by Mr. Watson Hall, of this city, who
had purchased it from Thompson. While before
the court the prisoner acknowledged selling the
watch. He was committed for examination, or
until the evidence could be obtained The case
promises to be a very interesting one, as it will
likely throw some light on the doings of a lot
of men who went through the county of Bladen
some time since, beating., and otherwise mal
treating persons and thenrobbing them. They
were, all in disguise when engaged in these raids,
in one of. which the above wateh was stolen, and
which will lead, it is hoped, to the detection of
the whole gang.
A negro boy, for cotton stealing, was also
sent to prison until the officers could get their
hands on his accomplice, who by some means
has so far evaded their search.
Jail Delivery. It is not very generally
kaown in the community at large that a lot o
prisoners, confined in the county jail for various
offences, made their escape on Sunday last.
They are six in number, and are supposed to be
still in the vicinity of the city, but the vigilance
of the officers, up to the present time, has not
found out their hiding place, although every
thing is favorable to their recapture. These
facts were withheld at the suggestion of the au
thorities until the present.
Thf, Fashions. Our numerous lady readers
will find some interesting gossip about fall and
winter fashions in Ariel's letter, printed in
another column. Ariel is excellent authority
on fashionable matters, and is always au fait in
matter relating to the mysteries of female attire,
although we believe he is an old bach , a horrid
old one at that, if we may rely on his own state-
ment of his years. Old enough to be our father!
And yet the greatest beau in New York ! What
a wretch !
Accidentally Killed. An old negro woman
named Sattira Fleming, known as a huckster in
the city for a number of years past, was run
over by the train conveying the 27th regiment
te the north, on Monday night, and crushed to
death. She was one of the oldest persons in
the city and perhaps the state, being near ninety
years of age.
Fire. A fire broke out in the kitchen of Jno.
A. Sandeis, a gentleman living about four miles
from the city on the plank road, on Sunday
night last, and with its contents was entirely
consumed. The origin of the fire was not
given.

Our New Torlc Correspondence.
, , , Nkw foKK, Sept. 23, 1865. '
The republican state contention, which met
at Syracuse on Wednesday, adopted a platform
that differs in no material respect froin that, of
the democracy and nominated a ticket composed
like the democratic ticket, mainly of military
men, but of military men less known to the
country. The radicals were completely beaten
at every 'point ; for although they had a ma
jority of at least ten in the convention they
dared not make a fight upon any resolution or
any candidate. The correspondent of the New
York Herald sums up the matter in the concise
statement that the resolutions Fay one thing
i i . . ...
wnue a majority oi tne convention believe just
the opposite.
However this may be, the result of it all is
that there are now only two parties in this state;
and they have only one platform between them,
-Jl.1 A 1 4 A . 1 TS V .
auu mai. piai.iorm is Anay jonnson. it is no
longer a question as to which party will win,
because the president will be indorsed in any
event. Still, I think that the president would
rather have the democrats carry the state in
order to cow Sumner, Wade, Wilson and the
radicals of that stamp. The general impression
here is that the republicans have a better chance
because they control both state and national
offices; but the democrats have the most popu
lar candidate in Slocum and are very eaeer for
the fray. The contest will be close and ex
citing to the partisans, but it will not so greatly
interest outsiders.
New York stands squarely in support of presi
dent1' Johnson, and the president stands as
squarely in support of his reorganization policy 1
at the'south. Thus you aredoubly protected
against enforced negro suffrage, unconditional
confiscation and all the tyranies that the radi
cals have threatened. Do you stay under the
wing of the president and all will be well. New
York has struck the key-note to which all the
other states must adapt themselves, sooner or
later sooner if the south is wise enough to ac
cept what is inevitable, without controversy and
without bitterness. But negro suffrage is not
inevitable now, and confiscation is also suspend
ed. All this has been done with a f e jt strokes
of the pen. Thus the course of politics fdr the
next few years is settled. We can mark out the
channel in which they will run and there will
be no great difficulty about the navigation. Do
you want to wager that Andy Johnson will not
be re-elected in 1868? I
But let me turn from politics to fashion and
tell the ladies about the wonders of opening day.
On a certain day in every season the fashion-
able milliners ana aress-makers throw open
their new stock' of goods to the New York pub
ic, who attend in immense crowds. Last Thurs
day was the great day of this season, and for
tunately the weather was delightful--an unusual
addition to the charms of the opening which
generally takes place in a rain-storm. The
consequence was that the ladies came out like
swarms of butterfliesif butterflies ever swarm
and fairly illuminated the streets with their
bright faces. It was a pleasure to look at them,
and as I strolled about in my quiet, old-
fashioned way I'm old enough to be your
father, my dear young editor I thought that
New York and New Yorkers had never seemed
so beautiful.
And now, that nobody may say that I devote
too much attention to politics, I am going to
place before your lady readers all the novelties
in dress. We begin, of course, with the bonnet
All the old bonnets are now old fashioned. JThe
new bonnet is very odd, very different from that
of last season, and, in my opinion, very ugly.
The front is close and round, something like the
old eottage bonnet, but very mall. Stiff, flat
crowns are again in fashion, but not capes.
Instead of a cape a straight band is used and
this renders waterfalls impossible. If s6ft
crowns are worn they are puffed up above the
hat instead of hanging down as of yore. The
trimming is all on the top of the bonnet and the
stiffer it stands the handsomer it is. Green and
white are the favorite colors. Turbans and
round hats, in new patterns,, are still in vogue
and very pretty. Prices are as .large as the
bonnets are small, teeventy-hve dollars is
thought not unreasonable. Nothing wearable
can be bought' at a good milliners under twenty-,
five. ' J 4
Dresses, have changed but little. They are
stiU profusely trimmed. CoroT' trimming is the
rage, specially with gold and f ilver cord. The
best Btyle-fs to have the dress, underskirt and

niS TRIAL DE PLEADS GUILTY TO EMBEZZLE
MENT, AND IS SENTENCE TO "SEVEN YEARS
IMPRISONMENT, ETC.
From the New Haven Journal, Septomber 20.
Yesterday afternoon Jeremiah fownsend
was brought into the superior court and put
to plead. All of the information except the
one in which he was charged with embezzling
from the bank over one hundred thousand
dollars, were withdrawn, and to the charge of
embezzlement he plead euiltv. His counsel
made an earnest and able appeal in his behalf,
to induce the judge to make his sentence as
light as possible, giving an account of his ca
reer in the army, and reading some letters of
a high testimonial character, and referring to
the change in his salary, and the temptation
to which he was constantly submitted. The
counsel for the state replied, holding that the
accused pertormed the deed deliberately, and
that his position and intelligence were an ar
gument against clemency. He also spoke
feelingly of his own sympathy for the accused,
whose lather had been his school mate.
The judge, in giving the sentence, remarked
that the case from its circumstances had been
an unpleasant one to hirn, but the law made it
necessary that be should not shrink from his
duty. After speaking of the design of the
law, he said that the accused's good character
previous to the offence, his serv ces in behalf
of the country, were proper matters to con
sider in giving sentence. He also referred to
the fact of the -bank having recovered all the
money, but held it was no cause for clemency.
He then sentenced him to the state prison for
seven years.
.The accused manifested a considerable in
terest in the remarks of both judgaand coun
sel, but did not appear to be particularly af-fected-in
any way at the sentence. The court
room at the time was filled with a fair audi
ence, and quite a number of the members
of the Jbar were present. Immediately after
the sentence the prisoner was conducted to
the jail.
Tne JTew Ilrazll Steamship Line.
From the New York Tribune September 21.
On the 28th instant the steamer Costa Rica,
of 2,500 tons burden, will leave this port for
Rio de Janeiro, being the pioneer line be
tween the United States and the empire of
Brazil. The Costa Rica will touch en route
at St. Thomas, W. I., Para, Pernambdco and
Bahia. It was .the intention of this.new com
pany to have purchased the iron .steamers
Merrimac and Mississippi for this line, but
after a careful - inspection it was found that if.
would require too great an outlay to fit them
for the service, therefore, they have deter
mined to build three first class steamers at
once, and if the patronage will justify to
build three more, making six in all, so, as to
form a semi-monthly line. . ''.4&v . "
The United States and Brazil have granted
a subsidy of $300,000 for the carrying of the
