I'feOFLK, ETC. -I
Wilmington,! N. C, May 1. Senator Wilson
arrived here early this morning, and addressed
a large colored assemblage tbts afternoon. The
national llast waved from ibe publlo buildings,
and banners wllh pntrloHo mottoes were
'strung across several streets. A large proces
sion of colored men, with marshals on horse
back, with bands or music. Hugs and banners,
organised nt the Town Hall, and marched to
the place of meeting. This was Dudley's Grove,
on the bank of the Cape Fear river, outside or
the city. A stand was erected there under the
shadow of a spreading oak. It being May-day,
the youthful colored population and some
while children kept it as a holiday. Refresh
ment booths were on the ground. The women
and children wore their gayest attire; boys
located themselves la the forks and on the
branches 'Of the fine oak trees to bear the
speaking, and the girls got up games and pic
nics in other portions of the ground. Men
formed a dense mass around the platform, and
all went In for enjoyment.
There were some white persons present, but
In very small proportion to the blacks. The
formr included Northern residents here, Fede
ral soldiers In blue, city police In grey, and
several ladies occupying wagons and amuu
lances. Although the audieuce was so dusky
the general eOVct of the scene was extremely
picturesque. One the banners carried In tue
proct sslon bore the motto:
EQUAL RIGHTS BKPOKR TH K LAW-WE LL!
: ASK NU MOKE, WE'LL TAKE NO LESS, j
i
One of the ambulances wag labelled:
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN EXPRESS COM-:
i PAN Y THE ONLY DIRECT ROUTE TOi
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. I
The meeting having been organized by elect
ing General jLT. G. Kates as i'resident, resolu
tions were adopted thank ine Congress for the
Military Reconstruction bill, promising to re
construct Worth Carolina wllh loyal men, to
give the colored men n right to sit on Juries,
and to extend rights and privileges to the poor
white men by the establish ment of a Republi
can party In the Htaie.
Hen a tor Wilson then addressed the meeting
for nearly two hours. He dec ared that the Ke-
fubllcan party was not responsible for one life
OKt In the war: bnt before God and history, the
supporters of slavery were responsible for every
lite sacrificed and every dollar spent In It. He
Invited the colored people to vote with the Re
publican party, knowing that tbey were voting
with the nnconquered and unconquerable
power of the country. He declared lc vitally
important that there should be no black party
or while party formed.
Benjamin Robinson, editor of the Wilming
ton Vetpatch, then spoke lor near!; an hour,
endeavoring to throw the blame of the war on
the slavery agitators, and charging on them the
design to make the South dependent on the
North financially and industrially. It was
the Old argument, but was not strongly pre
sented. He read an extract from a speech of
Mr. Wilson's, In 1856, sustaining the doctrine
that slavery was an institution or the .States,
and could not be interfered with; also the letter
of December, I860, from Abraham Lincoln to
Alexander II. Stephens to the same effect. This
was to thow the falsity of the Republican party,
and to prove that the negroes had no great'
cause for gratitude to that party. He declared
himself in favor of their education, but not by
Northern schoolmasters or mistresses, and he
told them that, with all the Republican oreten
sions of placing them on terms ol equality witn
the whiles, there were no colored otlicers in the
army. (Shouts of denial.) Mr. Robinson spoke
by previous arrangement, and received a fair
hearing.
When Senator Wilson rose to reply he was
greeted with thiee cheers, and three more were
5iven for the Republican parly. Mr. Wilson
UBlified his own speech in 1858 and Abraham
jtncoln's letter, and showed that non-interference
with Blavery in the States was then the
avowed doctrine of the Republican party, and
that the abolitiou of slavery by the general
Government was the result of the Rebellion.
He congratulated Mr. Robinson on the change
already effected lu his views, as shown by his
willingness to have thecolored peopleeducated,
and thought that In a few months more Mr.
Robinson wonld be fully afllllated with the Re
publican party. As to colored men not holding
any commissions, nedeclared that his own son,
recently dead, had served as Lieutenant, Cap
tain, and Lieutenant-Colonel in a regiment
whose Major was as black as any man In the
audience. .
The meeting was further addressed by Mr'
Robinson, who got ten minutes more to re
spond, and by Mr. Harris, the colored man
mentioned in my Raleigh despatch yesterday.
Afterwards the procession marched back to
the town. Everything passed off quietly and
narujouiously. ...
tieuator Wilson was waited on yesterday at
Raleigh, by Governor Worth and other promi
nent citizens, and was also the recipient of like
atten Hons Here to-day. He leuves lor Charles

cisco April 30. The ship Cordillera arrived here
(Han Francisco) this morning from Yokohama,
Japan, with advices to the above date. Affairs
in Japan were quiet, politically and financially.
Tbe Tycoon has given notice that the war
With ChoEin shall not be prosecuted further,
although the movement has been in practice a
successful one.
The authorities of Chozln, against the wishes
or the Tycoon, will not open the port of Hi
monskl to foreign trade.
A detachment of the 87th Regiment of Infan
try, with some men of the Royal Artillery, had
arrived to reinforce the brltish troops in the
camp near Yokohama.
In consequence of native Insults offered to
British officers, and even to the representative
of Queen Victoria, Sir II. Parkes, In tbe
Mikado's territory, the British Minister, la his
official capacity, demanded an apology from
the Japanese Government, which was duly
made. In one instance the English officers,
when out on horseback, met a Japanese noble
man attached to tbe court of the Mikado, and,
when about to pass, the Englishmen were com
pelled to dismount and stand aside while the
native officer pursued his way.
The Japanese Government has invited all the
foreign ministers accredited to the empire to
meet tbe Tycoon at Osaka at an early dale, and
the time of assemblage is now fixed for ihe lust
days of the month of April.
The American Minister will proceed to the
Imperial interview accompanied by the whole
force of the United Hlates squadron serving In
tbe waters of Asia.
It Is reported In Yokohama that the French
have contracted tosupply the JapaneseGoveru
ment with four hundred thousand stand of

There Is very little doing in freights in Yoko
hama, and vessels are leaving in balast.
Another disastrous fire has destroyed a large
portion of the Japanese town, and there is
much suffering in consequence. Heveral in
cendiaries have been discovered at work.
From the first of the Japanece new year the

empire will be required to appear in European
costume. The laboring population must clothe

APPEARANCE OF THE SHIP THIS MORNINO.
At one o'clock this morning, the firemen were
still putting forth almost superhuman efforts
to save the hull, and confine tbe fire to the

her starboard tide until It was on a line with
the dock. All her masts and rigging were still
standing, but the fiery element had triamDhed
over the large volume of water that for six
hours had been direoted upon it, and burst out
through the decks and surrounded the masts
and rigging. Much anxiety was felt lest the

ability and patriotism of its members. lie
received an excellent education, and when yet
a youth followed his father into exile. On his
return he studied law, was admitted to the
bar, and subsequently defended gratuitously
many persons charged with political offenses
before the High Court of Justice in his native
city. He was frequently arrested under the
old reyime in Naples, discharged, rearrested,
imprisoned, and otherwise persecuted. When
King Ferdinand was compelled to proclaim, a
constitution, in lc4S, l'oerio was taken from
prison and raised to honors of state. He
represented the city of Naples in Parliament.
For ten years subsequently he defended
Italian liberty, but was finally thrown again
into prison, from which he was released in

on board a vessel bound to the United States.
On the voyage, however, the exiles over

to Cork, Ireland, where they landed, and from
whence they made their way to Bristol and

Curious Case A Fish Bone in a Mam's
Neck for Twenty Years. A few days since a
laboring man, who works in Woodruff's plaster
mill, in this city, called upon one of our sur
geons for the, purpose of having a tumor upon
the neck, just under the angle of the jawbone,
removed. The tumor was about the size of a
large hen's egg, and had been there about ten
years. After getting a history of the case, the
surgeon Buspected that the tumor had been
occasioned by some foreign substance such as
a bone. Before attempting to remove the
tumor it was laid open, and a fish bone, about
tnree-qnarters of an inch long, and an eighth
of an inch in diameter, of irregular shape, was
discovered and removed. The patient had
attempted to swallow this bone over twenty
years ago, but it nad lodged in his throat,
occasioning more or less trouble ever since.
Nature had attempted to remove it, but had
failed, as the bone had travelled through the
neck about an inch, in a direction outward and
downward, where it became encysted and
remained. The tumor has since been removed,
and the patient ia doing well, and attending
to his daily labor. It seems strange that a
foreign substance should remain so long im
bedded in the flesh without decaying; but
Nature prevented this by enveloping it in a
cystio membrane. Albany Artjus.
The Sancy Diamond. The Bombay papers
mention the transmission to England, by letter
post,' of the celebrated Sancy diamond.
Although the story of the Sancy diamond is
not as remarkable as that of some other his
toric gems, it is sufficiently noteworthy. It
was found on the body of Charles the Bold,
Duke of Burgundy, after his defeat at Gran
son, in 1476, by the Swiss. It was purchased
in 1479 by the King of Portugal, and ten years
later it was sold by him to Nicholas de Bailly,
Baron de Sancy, from whom it derives its
name. 1 he Baron de sancy sent it as a pre
sent to the King of France, and the servant
who had charge of the gift being attacked by
robbers, proved himself equal to the occasion,
and swallowed the diamond. We must
assume that his death speedily followed on
this act of devotion, for, according to the
story, the stone was found in his body. It
afterwards came into the possession of James II
Kngland, by whom it was sold for JE25.000 to
Louis XIV. During the French Revolution
the Sancy diamond, as well as the more cele
brated blue diamond, disappeared. The latter
has never been recovered, but the former was
purchased by Napoleon I, by whom it was
afterwards sold to Prince Paul Demihoff. It
is valued at $100,000to $150,000, is pear
shaped, and weighs carats.
Convebsions in Rushia. The Russian
"journal of the diocese of Lithuania" reports
that, during the year 25,194 Catholics,
9 Lutherans, 3(5 Jews, and 2 Mohammedans
were "converted" to the Russian Church.
Patriotic Bankbbs. Three of the richest

Philadelphia Trade Report
Thursday, May 2. There is a steady demand
from the home consumers for Flour, and hold
ers are firm In their views, but a total absence
of any inquiry for shipment. The sales reach
600 barrels, chiefly Northwestern extra family,
at $1314-50, including Pennsylvania and Ohio
do. do., at $1315 ; California at $16'5017 ; St.
Louis at $1717'50; extra at f 10ll-25; superfine
at S910. Rye Flour is scaroe and higher: sales
at Ss-62. Nothing doing in Corn Meal.
There is not much doing In Wheat, the de
mand being entirely confined to prime lots,
which aro in small supply, and held at full
prices It Is evident that the extreme rates de
manded by holders restrict buyers from ope
rating; small sales of Pennsylvania red at $3(&
3-30; and California at $3 40. Rye The receipts
continue small, and the article Is In lair
request; sales of Western and Pennsylvania at
$1-65(31-70. Corn Is In aoilve request at yester
lerday's quotations; sales of 3000 bushels yellow
at $130 In store, from ths cars, and afloat. Oats
meet with a steady Inquiry, aud prioes are
rather better; sales of 6000 bushels Pennsylvania
and Delaware at 7580o., the former rate for
Inferior; aud 2000 busuels Ohio to arrive at 77c
Whisky The arilcle is getting scarce, but
prlcts are nominally unchanged.
