KNELL OF RUSSELL & CO. The' demonstration made by the 'Demo crats last'night, will long bo remembered in Wilmington as the grat rallv of 1873. Every arrangement .for the occasion had been made, and when the time came, all was ready and in order. At an early hour in the evening the procession formed and marched to "thp Pureed 1 House, where it was reorganized, and, In-ing joined by the (urriajres, again took ui the 'march to the City Hall.; The procession was headed by the Concert Cornet Ciul; after this came the Tilden (hiards, and' ; citizens, and the rear was brought tip by the carriages containing the speakers and distinguihed gentlemeiii. In the ' Hall, a Ptage had been erected for the; occasion and was artistically decorated with United States flags. Thie speaker1 was escorted to his heat, and after music, Mr. F. W. Kerclmer, chairman of Ihe committee oh arrangements, opened the exercises by pro posing the name of Col. J. W. Atkinson, -for President of the meeting.

Atkinson came forward .and in troduced the speaker of the day in the fol lowing language : , It gratifies me to-night to introduce to a Wilmington audience, one of North Car- - olina's most distinguished sons. You all know him bv reputation, for he has written his name high jand indelibly on the Roll of Apiencan statesmen as Senator from North Carolina. He has taken a position second to none of those distinguished jnon who represent the Southern States at the National Capitol. I do him but justice i when I say that, while he has w atched most vigilanty-and jealously the rights of his c mstituency and of his own people, he has always discussed questions submitted to him as a Statesman looking to the . good of the whole country, and not simply tp that 01 a section. This distinguished gentleman comes here to-night to give you some ac count of his actions as your representative in the United States Senate and also to confer and advise with you as to those measures, which, in his judgment, should be agitated for the future, more, especial ly' with reference to the great questions of .trade and finance. These, gentlemen, are questions of such paramount importance to us who havci suffered under thepressure of such hard times for the long five years last past that all others seem to dwarf by . comparison into insignificance. I, need hardly, therefore, enjoin your earnest attention to what may now be said, and Jvs I have' been selected to invite vou to the great fe;ist;which is now prepared, I shall. Without further remark, content myself by introducing to you, gentlemen, the Hon. Senator,Merrimon, of North Carolina. We had arranged for a full stenogra graphic report of the address of Senator Merrimwn, but the hoarseness of the speak er and the abominable acoustic shortcom ings of the hall prevented this exhibition of enterprise. It was simply impossible for ' The Sex stenographer to catch large por tions of the speech, and he very properly abandoned the attempt after a reasonable , time. What follows is the best synopsis obtainable. ; SENATOR XtET.RIMOX. Mr. President- I beg to tender you my sincere thanks for the very kind aud com plimentary treatment with which you have been pleased to present me to thisimmense audience to-night. I sincerely wish that I were more worthy of your high commenda tions. It affords me a very large measure of satisfaction to be among you. I am glad to have this opportunity to revive my acquaintance with so many and niak'e that of many more of the excellent people of the city of Wilmington. I beg to salute you all with feelings of cordial friendship and good will and my best wishes for your pros perity and especial happiness, collectively and individually.; I appear before you this eveuing for the purpose of discussing in your hearing borne of the many topics of a popular na- "io iucn now agitate the public mind, and which in my judgment, involve to a "yj maicriai extent your substantial in "c. iou observe that 1 am.: quite tr' a.a suffering from co?d. I fear that on this account I shall not be able to -iav.uuiese lopica so thoroughly, or to uvenaui you as I would wish. If I fail in ilm reeiect this explanation is due you and myself. I will do the lest I can undr the circumstances, and beg your indulg ence. - The speaker said he did not propose to undertake to entertain his audience with polished words and phrases, nor would he endeavor to eicite their mirth and laugh ter. The subjects which he wished to diis cuss were too serious to admit of this. In submitting what he had to sayit was his purpose to address their calm and deliber ate judgment. He would not, jif he had the power, seek to arouse their passions or excite prejudice in the mind of any one. He desired, if possible, to give them some information which would enable thehi to eome to a ritrht conclusion on the great questions which would come under their influence, to-day. He wished to produce conviction on the minds of his hearers and to speak the truth from Jiis own standpoint and as he understood it to exist. Men naturally appreciate, above all things, their lives and their liberties, and whatever tends to secure these is deeply of iiiterest to them. Therefore in all countries where intelligence prevails we find the, spirit and the love of liberty, and there also we 'always find the people interested in tbe. nature -and forms of govern ment. When government iS safe and life and liberty are secure and peace prevails, then men itat:irally think about their ma terial interests and those things that tend to-promote their comfort, their material prosperity and happiness. It is then that they think about questions ot liberty anq protection or trade questions of finance svstems of taxation,' tariffs, internal re venue and other questions of economical character. Since the close of our late war the peo ple had been so deeply interested in the government that they hadv lost sight of economical questions and perhaps' had not paid that attention necessary for their good. It attorded him (the steaker) pleasure to say that, in his judgment, government was now safe and life and liberty secure. He trusted the time was a lonjr way in the fu ture that anxiety need be felt on that sub ject, and under providence what the Amer ican people had to do now was to see that honest, callable men were' put in govern ment to administer to the prosperity of the people. Since this was a recognized fact the people were beginning to think upon economical question?, not onlv in North Carolina but throughout the South and the universe. Hut before he proceeded 4 to' the question which he . wished to dis- cuss lie would tairiv direct tneir attention to n topic that underlay all ques tions of an economical character, there was not one present - who was not affected by it. It was a subject of the greatest in terest and importance to every man in so cietyhigh or low, rich or poor next to his eternal salvation. - And yet, he feared, this Subject wis too generally neglected. It was not discussed as it ought to be by the public men or i-v the press. it was left too much in the background What was this subiect. he would ask? It was the subject of labor. Labor underlies every question of an economical character. There was nothiug valuable in this life that was not the . product of labor. He wished them to remember that. What was labor ? It w-as human nature supplying itself from the objects it meets round about it. To illustrate : There was a thousand ae$es of magnificent forest lajid across the river.. What was it worth until the forest was felled, the ground broken and the crops planted ; till it was harvest cd. put in shape? There was a mine of gems out there, but of what worth were they till the miner dug them up aud the workman took them to his labratory and refined ihem ? Nothing at all, v pat were the mighty forests in the West worth until the laborer came with axe and mallet cleared the land and supplied wheat and grain of all kinds to feed the millions of the earth ? Nothing at all. Everything thev had: en. their persons were products of labor. If he had a five cent nickel in his pocket somebody worked for it. All the wealth in this city, all the accumulated "wealth in North Carolina in the world somebody worked for it. There was noth ing he repeated that-was not the product of labor. It was ofthe utmost importance that every man should understand it, and that those who understood it best should make those who understood it least under stand it better. There was no higher earthly subject that could engage their attention than this subject of labor, and it -underlay every subject he was going to discuss. He had said awhile ago that the business of government was- to protect the lives, liberties and jfortnues of men. nd so it was that was the great object the great purpose for' which it existed. But it was so only in theory while it 'cught to be the spirit and practice of gov ernment to protect ana eneourage enter prise and to let every man enjoy the. fruits of his own toil. While life and liberty were safe, and government was secure, he was sorry to tell them that the material condition of the country, its enterprise. &c, was not in a satisfactory condition. They all knew by personal experience and ob servation that industry aud enterprise were not prospering in their midst. It was so in the South aud it was so in other sections. One million of working men in fh North artisans for the most part were almost in a state of starvation another were on half- nav. Children crvinr for bread which could not be given to them because there was no work to do. . He had witnessed a strange sight one even ing a short time ago. He looked out from his window in tht National Hotel on Penn sylvania avenue, and saw an immense crowd of men, about ten thousand, a demonstra tion of workinsrnien. They had banners waving, transparencies with mottoes. They were shouting at the top of their voices, accompnuied by music, and were proclaim ing their wrongs arid demanding legislation that should correct their grievances. I hey marched past the President's house, so that he might hear what they had to say. ... 1 1 The v . said :. "See us; we are distressed. There is something wrong in the party politics. We insist that there should be redress, and redress should give relief by proper legislation. Was not that a strange sight in a country like this ? What did it mean ? There was opportunity in plenty nd yet two millions of men could not get work, and other million are on hau pay. ' It excites alarm. The flunking men of thisr country were reflecting about it to-day. The'! people down to the lowest ranks of society j were thinking about it. In the recent riots in the North, nvllions of capital was des-; troyed by men driven to desperation. The WILMINGTON, N. militia would not fire, for they could not shoot dqwn, starving men. The time had come when people must understand these juesiions, ana appiv tne reinedv. it thev do not they will be false to themselves and to society. It they do not, the time wifl come when the armv of the United States cannot disarm" these men. He had sometimes thought that the people were false to themselves; they some times elected incomietent men. and some times bad men., The? often like to vote for fancy rather than principle, arid often times they won't vote at all. Did they know that every man among thera had kindy power? Their voice was notent. When they express themselves, Presidents and Senators boxr to their voice. Ife said it was their dutv- everv man of them, to go to the poll-boxes to-morrow, and if they failed m doing so, they were false to them selves, their families and their country. He did not need to convince them that this country was in a state of distress and dis order, They felt it and knew it from per sonal experience and observation! every dayi He had heard it said on every ha.nd hand that they were in the midst !of hard times. They wanted more money.! They wanted an ocPan of greenbacks. Did thev suppose that tlris would bring relief? Did they think that lack of money was the reason why this .distress prevailed. I I hat was not the main cause. The people them selves had the control of the destinies of of the country in the poll-tax. iThey were the docters who could cure the ejvil if it could be cured. If their wives got sick they could send for the physician who in quires into the nature of the disease. He examines the pulse, he looks at the tongue, feels and and examines the body and learns what' the nature of the disease is. j He is then prepared to send a proper prescrip tion to the drug store to give relief. lie could not do it till he knew the nature ot the disease. They the audience were the great doctors of this country.; They had to learn the system, feel the pulse, examine the body, and see what it is that made the country sick. He proposed to point out what, in his judgment caused all these evils. I The first cause, of the popular discontent was the lusts of capital. In 1HG0 there was in this country over five million slaves. By all rules of political economy these slaves were capital as much a3 horses. &c. They were the means by which labor was carried on. He did not propose (to dis cuss whether slavery was right or wrong. Their labor-basis was the sys tem of slavery, and represented a capital of two billions and a half bf dollars, with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto. These. slaves are now freemen, and instead of being capital they want capital. It might be said that these five millions of men were here, and the labor here. But the labor system was all disor ganized and gone, and the two billions and a half of capital lost as thoroughly as if it were cast in the, ocean. Worse than that they were left without a labor system; but were gradually building a fresh one. which he trusted would prosper under Heaven's blessing. - Again, the great body of the energy of this country went out to war. Thousands and tens of thousands were in soldiers' graves to-day, and thousands' had returned to their homes minus an arm or a leg, their bodies fuil of disease, unable to take care of or support themselves. He was sorry to say that North Carolina- had. failed somewhat in its duty in that respect. There were orphans and widows almost in a state 'of povorty and not an asylum to ; shelter them. He thought it was a shame on North Carolina and the Legislature that they had not attended to that business. What was the euergy of these men worth, "who spent years to secure fortunes to sus tain them in their declining years, and whose fortunes were now all gone ? This was a matter ' of the first moment, j The speaker then referred to the vast public debt of the South, most of which was held in the Southern States. He said that fifteen hundred millions of these bonds were held in this country to-day. Then spoke of the personal extravagance of our people. Notwithstanding the distress they had gdfce through, he found thousands of the people living in a state of extrava gance. They were better clothed, drove better horses, better carriages, travelled more 'extensively and to more expensive places. That was not the way to get rich. When a man was down, he must try to get up again. France, a3few years ago, paid a thousand millions of war indemity, and astonished the world. How did they do it ? The French people stood v their j government, and the debt was paidJ France 1 js to-day more prosperous than Germany to whom she paid this thousand millions Another cause was public extravagance. Were he to take them to Washington to examine the accounts and compare them since the war they Would be astonished. Sometimes they were doublei end treble in excess. They must cut down these expen ses. Another case was the want of busi ness integrity. An instance :, he i wished to borrow $10,000 ; . he goes to Mr! Van Bokkeleu and says -I want to borrow $10, OOO from you payable in sixty days at 6 per cent. " Based on that he borrows 10' 000 from Mr. Nutt. Mr. Nutt borrows, $10:000 from Mr. Holmes. Mr. Hoiiriesj borrows $10,000 from Mr. Parker, kcx The sixty days expire, and he fails to pay Mr. VanBpkkelen. He is dead broke, has got to go into bankruptcy ormake an as signment. Mr. VauBokkelen is conse quently unable to pay Mr.; Nutt, Mr. Nutt is unable to pay Mr. Holmes. fce. The practical result is that edeh has less confidence in the other. Suppose he went . again to borrow j money, Mr. VauBokkelen would say, "I lent it -before and you did .not pay.': In nine cases out of tea he would not lend it at jail, and if he did would charge 15 per cent., and take a mortgage into the bargain, which would be ruinous to business.; This coun try was full of transactions like that. They could go New York to buy goods; the merchant pays cash and gets them at the lowest figures; but there is another mer chant who was to be sued, and who has to pay more. ; Another cause. He made; no j war on capital, but capital must do jtfstly.j He rvas sorry to say that capital had not done fair ly ; it had exacted too much, fcnd the man of enterprise has suffered gravely in conse ouence. ! . The speaker then went at lengtn into me . .. . . .,-, .1 financial eondition of the country. The lateness of the hour and the lack of space at our dispc&l prevents U3 from following him. - ' j He explained the connection of railroads C, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1878. . with the business of the country, and in dulged in some severe language." He next unfolded tne workings of the National Bank system, advocating a greenback cur rency based on gold and silver. He concluded with a warm eulogy on the Hon. A, M. Waddell. He-said: 'lie has reflected credit upon his constituents. He stands at the head of one of the most im portant committees in your House of Rep resentatives, and he is not only recognized as an ornament to the State but the coun try recognizes his talents. He has not only reflected credit on you' Hut on his State and on the nation. I do not hesitate to declare that you ought to vote in the, ballot box for him, black and white. (Ixud and prolonged applause.) 'I thank you for the courtesy and atten tion you have extended to me. 1 salute you, one and all, with cordial feedings arid sincere friendship and my best wishes are for your prosperity and future happiness." maj. ex;ei.haiu. As the crowd were coming out of the City Hall, after hearing the speech of Judge Merrimon, loud calls were made fur Maj. Engelhard, and in response, the true friend to the people of this district came forward, and in an excellent fpeech laid bare the ini quities of the man whawas now soliciting the suffrages of the people of this section. Maj. Engelhard spoke of the corruption of the Greenback candidate when on the Superior Court Bench, his action in the Jacobs Ward matter and other cases equally as' villanous, showed what had been his Kur Klux' record, and wound' up by paying a glorious tribute to Judge Brooks, the only .Judge in the State at the time who held that the Judiciary was not exhausted. The conclusion of the: proceedings was a serenade bv the Cornet Band in front of 1 he Purce!. House. So ended a glorious 1 veiling, preparatory, we trust, to a still 1. lore glorious day of victory. Surely, to-dav Waddell will, bury the itngain.lv ! corpse of Daniel the Arrogant. SDN TELEGRAMS. SiARJ.Y AM? MIDNIGHT REPORTS. FOREIGN. I Correspondence Between the American Sliuister and Secretary Evarts. Loxdox, Nov. 4,1878.

Preparations lor the Marriage ot" Bis marck's Daughter, &c. Loxpox, Nov. 4. A Berlin dispatch says : '"Bismarck has arrived in this city to attend the marriage of his daughter with Count Raulzan, to taue place Wednesday next. After the wedding the Prince will proceed to Varzin, where he will remain until until Christmas."'

Important Decision iu the Cotton Case. Wasiiixgtox, November 4. -The Su preme, to-day, decided, in the case of Wash ington Ford, plaintiff in error, rs. James Sargent, in error to the Supreme Court of Mississippi, as to the question being wheth er the owner of the cotton, burned by James Sargent, under the order of the South ern military authorities, can recover from the said defendant the -value of the cotton so destroyed. The Court holds that the destruction of the cotton, under the orders of the insurrectionary military authorities, i 1 order to prevent it from falling into Federal" possession, was an act of war, for which a person executing such military order?, was relieved from the civil respon sibility. 1 The case of Amos D. Williams, appel lant, ts. Johnson Ha good, was substituted t..r lhomas C. Dunn, Comptroller Ireueral of South Carolina; William GnerneVj Treasurer ; of Charleston countv, et. a'l.. appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States District of South Carolina. This is the bill in equity ia which the re lief soujrht is "an injunction, commanding the Comptroller to cease from refusing to lew a tax for retiring certain certificates of the State indebtedness, and command ing the County Treasurer to cease from re fusing to receive the same for taxes and dues "to the State, except to pay interest oil the public debt." The Court holds the question to be merely an abstract one, and the bill shows no equity in the complain ant. The case was dismissed, but without prejudice to 1 the complainant's right to bring and prosecute another suit, when he shall lie in condition to exhibit any equity ia himself. The case of Jas. P.
