He spoke on Monday ovening in Aiken, South Carolina, and here to-day. The meeting here was held im the ope air, and in front of the Court House, Under the fine shade trees there some three thousand colored people, of both sexes and of all ages, bad congre- lighted up here and there by white faces; but these were few, and only on the outside margin of the throng. The pillars of the portico from, which Senator Wilson spoke were deco- rated with flowers and evergreens. Two colored men ‘acted as standard bearers for the national flag. General Sweeney occupied a seat upon the portico. Mr. Blodgett, formerly captain of rebel artillery, now Mayor of the city by military appointment, introduced Mr. Wilson to the meeting, saying, at the same time, that it*was futile to attempt to stay the march of mil- Hons of freedmen bent on the preservation of the coun- try, and that they should go forward freely and calmly to their ‘new and glorious destiny. ? _ Mx.

It would ‘be difficult to”match this picture of old Tialy and the dark, terrible government of the mistress of tho Adriatic in point of fascinating and thrilling interest, We feel and breath in {t an atmosphere of terror, through which are seen the dim shadows of the fatal Council of Ton, that terrible tribunal which even children scarcely dared to name, and which ever hung like some frightful spectre over each city where ts accursed power was dominant. Each character in the play—the impulsive, nate actress; the gloomy, }, hated tyrant; iis beautiful, ingenuous you ); her attendant band. maids, the devoted lover, nay, even the domon of the fearful tribunal, the himself—all move in this at- mosphere, cowerin: the influence of some unseen terror. int against this gloomy back- ground stands forth in strong retief the character of the unbappy actress, and through scenes of mortal anguish we are led on to the inevit death which re- pays the debt of gratitude, or rather filial affection, she Owes to ber rival. Gratitude is too inexpressive a name to call the debt of gdving a mother’s life. Some qualm- ish moralists object to the purpose and treatment of the lay and its unnataral climax; but there can be no ground for such a cherge if we the character, a woman of spirit, deep feelmg and womanly love. And the par- pose. What can be more worthy of the genius of a great artist like Ristor: than a self-sacrifice for love. ‘She was inexpressively grand in some of the many tell- ing scenes of the play, beeen tn ‘the withering de- nunciation of the the crucifix, tte bu explanation to the tyrant busbaod, and the scene, Which was as idly real as the ‘most consummate acting could make it. is_one striking point in favor of Victor Hugo’s work, and that is that the other characters enter into the furtherance of the plot as something more than mere accessories.

A Lecture by P. B. Du Chaillu. By consent of the Society for the Advancement of Science and Art, and at the invitation of the Travellers’ Club of this city, P. B, Du Chaillu, last evening delivered an instructive and interesting lectare at their rooms, 222 Fifth avenue, on “Explorations in Africa,’ before a very select audience of ladies and gentlemen, comprising members of the association and their friends. ~ THE NEW ROOMS OF THE TRAVELLERS’ CLUB, ‘These rooms are very elegantly fitted up and have only been occupied by the club since the firat of April, their old establishment at No. 1 West Fourteenth street hav- ing been abandoned for the finer and more commodious accommodations here afforded. The first floor of their new building comprises the coffee room, restaurant and reception or sitting room ; the second floor or main saloon, which is richly furnished and elegantly adapted to the Purpose, is appropriated to lectures and social entertain- ments, and comprises also a reading room and library. The remaining floors are oecupied as billiard saloons, dressing and bath rooms, &c. This club, which has been in existence less than three years, having been originally organized by Mr. Edward E. Dunbar, their present President, embodied an idea at the start which has met with extraordinary success, It numbers at present two hundred members of various nationalities, and its object is to encourage the inter- change of social sentiment and intelligence from differ- ent portions of the world among travelled gentlemen of wealth and cultivation, RUMARKS BY EDWARD F, DUNBAR, At eight o’clock the lecturer was introduced to the au- dience by the President of the club, who spoke as fol- lows: — ‘Lapis anp Gzxriemex—It is with no ordinarv feelings of pleasure that I rise to welcome you to the mew and elegant rooms of the Travellers’ Club and to introduce to you the world-renowned traveller, Mr. Du Chaillu. As this is the formal opening of these rooms to which we have recently removed, I will, with your kind indulgence and that of our distinguished gucst, make a few very brief remarks in relation to the club. 1 will detain you but a moment, There are great minds who have suggested ‘@ Congress of nations, a meeting of the representatives of all the nations of the earth, to initiate measures calcu- lated to promote the generat welfare of mankind and Promote peace and good will on earth. This is a great and good idea, And this idea, to a certain degree, un- }*derlies the Travellers’ Club and the motives of those who are striving to build it up. We have here dailya litte congress of. nations. We have here numerous repre- sentatives of the principal nations of the earth who Tesort to the city of New York. The effect ot this cannot ‘be but good, National asperities are softened and socia) intercourse is built up and friendships are formed which are almost entirely new in our city life. Our club is now just entering upon tho third year of its regular ion. Financially, I may say {it is a success—perl considering the manner in which it bas ‘everything taken into con- sideration, the most successful financialiy in this city. As ® cosmopolitan club, thus far, it is alav a success, ‘The oxperiment was considered a hazardous one, and perhaps it was #0; but thus far it has not proved a’ Uto- pian scheme, and the club is rapidiy acquiring a position of influence and power. And in proof of this I bave only to point to this audience on this tempestuous night—such an array of the beauty, intellect and intclli- gence of tho great city of New York—and to our distin. guished traveller, who gravitates to the matitution natu- Tally. I wish also to state that Mr. Du Chailiu was eo gaged with the Socioty for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences, to deliver his two trst Jectures before that association, but that on learuing that we wer: anxious to open these rooms at as early @ day as pos- sible, he was willing and that society consented that. he shoula make his first appoarauce in these rooms. He ‘has been very busy preparing himself for those Jar Jectures with his diavrams, aud, he thinks, bas had. time’ in which to pre- pare ‘and do bi Space bine this evening. But i proposes to meet with us here on this auspicious oc- casion, and'to have what be terms a jiliar talk, and to entertain you in the best manner he cap.
