A complimentary toas: to Gol C. b. Hulse, (seers of the Board ot Alderm-erc ) looking to bis elevation to the Board of Alder- men, and ultimately to the mayoralty, was a by W.H. McMarray and drank with cheers. The visitors, after taking their departare, proceeded to Com missioner Himber's resicence, On 2ist street, near N, where the band per- formed several appropriate airs. Tne bouse was iliaminated, and on the opposste side of the street the boys bad made a bon fire. On the appearance of Mr. Himber, Mr. E. Puiaski | proposed three cheers, which were given with 8 will, sod Mr. Halee in‘roducing Mr. Himver De addressed the assemb!age; first them for the compliment, which he took &n honor to bimeelf only. but intended to ex- press their bigh appreciation of the Mayor of the city—to whom they were all so much in debted: [Oheers.) He assured them that ne id do his duty, bat might err, and if at any time they found that he did wrong they correct him & brother. His ut in retura be Work and labor faith would sek them to | fully. The Republican party have a heavy load to carry—the day's work system— and upon it depends their success, But few were aware bow much is due to the Mayor for establishing the day’s-work system. | When Mr. Bowen's name was first proposed as & candidate, Messrs. Thompson, Henderson, Schooler, Martin, and himself had waited on him, and Mr. B. then expressed his approval of the day’s-work system. How weil he has suc- | ceeded, Boundary street will tell. (Applause. But that good and true man, Mr. bowen, does not mesa by “day’s work” simply receiving two dollars and doing a great deal of political taiking. and little work: but he means that they | should earn their money. Science, machinery, and Republican institutions having reduced the hours of labor to eight, ang a gratefal cor- | poration, recognizing the fact that the laborer is | worthy of his hire, pays two dollars per day: and they expect that the laborers will work, and work they must; for they, the commission- ers, will pot be atraid to discharge men on ac- count of political influence if they fail to work taithfully. (Voices, «That's right,” and cheers. He continued, saying: There are some men among us who, under the pretence ot Republi- canism, try to break down the party, and for selfish ‘reasons only—they would rather rule in hell than serve in beaven—[isughter;) they are of that class whose selfiso motives and ambition allows them to stoop to everything dirty and mea for the sake of furthering their own selfish ends. Uf that cl: beware; be true to youtsel ve: publican party, and, w Pilot, the Republican ship will surely and safely arrive in the harber, notwithstandin, Pirates like sharks abonnd in the political ‘waters and are ready to destroy any unfortu- nate being that might come within their ger.” (Cheers.) Me would say «that Sayles J. Bowen ‘Will live when the toul carcasses of dissatisfied office-holders are lying rotten in the street, unrecognized by friends and spit on by foes.” {Cheers.] The Mayor did not see fit to appoint Bim ull ayy, for reasons well known, and he (Himber) bad the same right to abuse the Mayor as those other men, for he (H_) might have thought he i bave been appointed sooner. Orhe might hi to work and altered contracts, tru’ p charges and thereby tried to injure the Mayor, but he took 8 different view of tbe matter, regognizing the | fact that they (the Republicans) Rad elected Sayles J. Bowen Mayor. Speaking of the advancing of money, it was customary to ad- yance money on contracts. and Mr. Alexander Henderson received, last Christmas, money for | grading 5S street berore the work was finally measured. Mayor Bowen has beautifi-d our city, improved our property, and the speaker defied successful contradiction of the assertion that more streets have been ed sad grav. eled, and more sidewalks laid during od of his administration than during the six years of administration of Mr. Wallach. The consequence is that more Iaboring men have had a chance to support their families, and the grocer, butcherand merchant tailor have been bensfited. In conclusion be again returned his thanks, promising to do all in his power toel- evate the laboring men. [{Cheers.| Councilman Thompsen was mtroduced and made a few remarks, in the course of which be eaid that Mr. Mimber was not the Commiseionership. but as appointed him, ne circumstances the best selection had been made, and he had but little doubt but Mr. H. would be a faithful officer. The laboriog men bad suffered because of the long delay in pay- ing them, and he would ask whose fault is it! Some ray itis the Mayor's, bat be could not believe it, for be thought If the ger could be oF would see them paid montbly. It was t ult of the Democratic party that the finances are so low. In relation to the charges made against the Ma: that be believed if Jan H. they wonld not men who couid ‘rump up charges against aman like Sayles J. Bowen, who is morally and religiously above the common level of meu, are but little use anywhere, (cheers). H- be- Heved that those whe oppose the Mayor will be forced to yield to @ superior power at the Proper time, (cheersi. Alderman Davis next was introduced and Addressed the assembiage. In reference to the cbarges against the Mayor he saia it seemed to him that when the gist of the charges made by the ex-egg and milk commissioner is arrived at the only question to be considered was ‘whetber the Mayor had ad vanced to these con- tractors more than the work, when finished, would amount to. and if it was found, after the work was completed, that the Corporation owed these men from ten to twenty-five thou- sand dollars in addition to what bad been paid them. how supremely ridiculous the whole affair would appear. While listening to the music be thought that such @ spontaneous out- ourst was rather significant in these times, and be did not know bat they commenced to ow for a Mayor in the First Ward; and if they had. and found one, he wanted they should present him in bis worth, and merit, and abil- ity to fill the position. and not upon any rains be might create by tearing some one +1se down. He cautioned the audience to beware of men continually harping upon their own Republi- cauism, and if they would show him a man continually harping upon bis Republicanism he would show a man that he would not trust as a Kepublican.

The Scuppernong flourishes te greatest perfection only in a climate not farther orth than the southera portion of North Car- olina. and on tide lands adjacent to large bodies of salt water. Nearly aif the grapes of this kind brought to this ‘ket are grown im the vicinity of Norfolk, Va.,aad there is almost as much difference between these and those grown in ® more gemial climate—for instance, oh the tide lands below Wilmington, near Smithville, N. C.,—s there is beiween the common fox grape and the most delicious Con- cord, the ope being scarcely M: for use, while the other is scarcely equaled in deliciousness itroducing the Scuppernong into a nortbern market bas been mainly atiributable to the fact that they were not grown far enourh south. pes DR. Looms has remodeled and improved his long established dental rooms, into which be bas just moved back. Every possible con- | venience and improvement bas been added to m in the country, and every modern appliance known to the art will contribute to the benefit | of bis pstients. Being still connected, as for many years, with a northern dental establieh- ment of great success and reputation, his facili- | ties for supplying every requirement in Bis speciality cannot be surpassed. His laboratory in this city for manufacturing porcelain “blocks,” of sections of teeth, as well as for Producing the celebrated “Mineral Pilate’ ‘will compare favorably with any in this country. Prices for the same class or quality of denial services range as tavorably in this city as they do in the northern cities, and much more so tham they do further south.
