Ex-Gov. Vance. Gov. Brogdeu. Mr. Htalliugs of Duplin and Mr. Ashe of Kaitigh will bo the ora tors of the occasion. Every prepara tion has been or will be made, to make this the great event of the Cape Fear Section, in this the centennial year. We publish also an extract from a speech of the great hearted, silver tongned Hansom, delivered in the U. S Senate, in which he pay-i an elo quent tribute to the Memory of the heroes of the battle of Moore's creel; , and to the patriotism of the men now living iu the Cape Fear Section. But what will the people of "Wil mington do for tins celebration? Nothing wid or can be doue worthy the occasion, unless there !:- a general suspension of business upon that d..y. The merchant, the clerks, the mem bers of the fire companies, and of the Wilmington Light Infantry, will be al mo-it entirely debarred of the pleasure of attending the celebration, unless there be n suspension. The Chamber of Commerce, The Produce Exchange, and the The Board of Trade have the matter ia their own bauds. When the attentiou of the Senate of the United States, and of the whole country is being directed to this centennial cel e bration, surely Wilmington, near the verge of whose corporate limits the battle ground lies, will not be back ward iu contributing a laige portion of her population to swell the crowd which will assemble around the monu ment they helped to er. ct to the memory of Lillington and Ashe and Caswell nr.d other heroes of the II-j0 lutioa of '70. MoOKE's CltKKK BiilDfJ'4. ( Tender Co., N.

The wi.'.k of prep ut-.tion is g 'ing Vigorously forward. All things are. nearly r ady among the country people. They go to the ground " wilh their axes, hoes, hammers, nai s, lumber, &c., and urged ou by a noble vener aion for the memory of tin ir for' -fathers, as well as by a patriotic de vorion to the government aud the old fitg, they are working with the true spirit of American citizens to mak" the demonstration a grand "success. The various committees in the rural districts are at work. The tx cative committee will hold auother meeting Upon the grounds on Saturday next, and a full and prompt attendance at 11 o'clock A M.,is earnestly l epit-sted. We hear nothing from the Wilmington committee. Wi 1 you please inform us whether the important work as signed to this committee has ben accomplished. Reliable information authorizes me to say that a larcre crowd will be present. Thousands Upon thousands will be present, not alone from Pender and adjoining counties, but from all parts of the Cape Fear and other portions of the State. The trua c ntu Dial spirit is aroused. The people are con.iug in large crowds to the Moore's Creek centennial celebration. They . We coming too, not as Democrats or publicans, not merely us citizens of Pender, of the Cape Fear, and of North Carolina, but as American Wizens, proud of tho sacrifices and achievements of their forefathers, and determined to si and by the Con-i u tion, the government, and the old ti ig. The ladies are invited to come. Order and good conduct will bo main tained by proper authorities. JVb liquor witl be xold on the ground. The authority to furnish "refreshments" excludes permission to sell anything that will intox c ite No doubts 'nay be had on tho subject. All applications to tell ardent- spirits have beeu and wi'l be r. jeted.

Si c'v of the Ex Com. A History of l!ic Wliisiiy icing A correspondent of the New York World st -i tes that the original "crooked w :i :--hv" rino- nf St T.oiiiK wm Rtrtrfel in 1872, ostens'bly for campaign pur poses iu the inter, st of Grant. Its l.-i.ding spirits were McDona'd, super visor; Joyc ', revenue agent; Bo-vis aud Fraser, distillers; and C. G. Megrue, e.ashier and paj" master. Instead of using the-ir funds to pro.notethe cause of the Republican party, tho money was divided among them. This ar rangement continued till aft-r the Presidential election, the government being defrauded of from $ 000 to 15,000 per week by the officials. After the election was over McDonald aud Joyce wanted to "freeze out" certain members of the conspiracy, and ac complished their object by having all crooked operations stopped for a while. As soon as the obnoxious per sons were got ridof.includiug Megrue, operations were resumed more boldly and upou u larger scale than at first. All the distillers, with unimportant exceptions, the supervisor.the revenue agents, gangers ami storekeepers were in the ring. Iu 1874, Peter Curran, having been prosecuted by the government (his case was subsequently settled), desired to get out of bis trouble, and the ex members of the original ring, su pect ing the trick which had been played upon them, and having suspicions thit the crooked operations had been re sumed, opened a correspondence with Co nmi-siouer Douglass, informing him of I he existence of the ring. Penu Braslie ir, a secret dett ctive, was sent to St. Louis to investigate. The ring was forewarned by Avery, chief clerk of Douglass, and Br-ishear was con quered by a bribe of .,000. He re i timed to Washington with, a clean bill. Afier that, llorig. another secret service nun, was stmt hcie, and tine ring paid him 10,000 lor the satisfac tory report which be turned iu at Washisigtou. Then 73ra.-hear ami Yar yan came. Their investigation cost the ring another 10,000, which Bra shear took, promising to divide witii Y .ryan. The former returiii d to Washington and ma.le out the regula tion report, showing everything all right, certifying that Varyau coincided iu tne opinion. The latter went to N".w Orleans from St Loiii-, where he ii'isetl the wint-r.

The descent was early in May l ist, a-'d ill, partially ii-ciuded ull distillers aud reet'fiers in St. Louis. McDonald still continued to tell the ring "things are all r ght; Ihut he knew who had that 10,01-0; that all was stiaight, and that t'aey would surely be released." To their sorrow McDonald proved a false prophet. The grand jury was iu ses sion for six weeka. At the end. of that time it brought in true bills against McDonald, -uperviso. ; Joyce, revenue aceut ; all the gangers and storekeep ers; ali the di tilieisand rcetifiTH,with the except tin of ira who died just in the i:ick of time to save himself; F-tz-roy, deputy collector and financial agent of the ring, and Avery, chief clerk iu the Ilev.-nue Department at Washington.

The United States Treas ury bus thus far failed to r deem its notes, theieby depreciating the va'ue of tho people's money and keepiDg i at a large discount, which depreciation varies from day to day, causing risk and uncertainty in busiueasaffairs to the great prt judice of all legitimate indus try aud enterprise; aud, Whereas, Congress, by its inactivity, and both political parties, by resolu tions adopted iu their several national couveutions, stand con lifted to the early resumption of specie payment; J therefore, liiHoivcd, That prompt measures should be taken by such legislation as is needed to render e -ff-ctive the policy of the resumption of specie payment by placing in the hands of the Secre tary of the Treasury all necessar' pow ers to carry out said object, to the end that sound and stable currency may be provided for the people." Morrison suggested that the resolu tion shoii'd be referred to the commit tee on banking aud cftrrency. Halo I think it better to have an expression of the opinion of the House now.

He agreed with the Senator from In diana (Morton) that the question was one of ahigh privilege and already had been too long delayed. Mortou said lie did not press the resolution for the admission of Pinch back yesterday for several reasous.oae of which was that several Senators were absent and he desired that there should be a full Seuate when the vote was taken. If the Senator from Ver mont (Edmunds) desired to have the resolutiou takeu up fcr the purpose of making a speech, he (Morton) would uot object. E.liuuuds said he had never moved to take np anything for the purpose oi making a speech. He desired to get the case to a dual determination.

If the Senate was to wait until the-1 wkole number of seventy three Senators were present before taking a vote, tho case of Pinchback would never be set led. If any Senator was ill who desired to vote on ilie side of linchbac!, he (ICdmuiuls) would pair with him with pleasure as ho did nor intend ro vole ou mat sine, lie believed the Senate ws as full as it woukl ever be iu an ordinary course of events.

The re turns from the interior are meagre, but uuicate tne success of tho entire Democratic ticket. riie Case of Jeffcrsou Davit. I from the New York Sun There is probab'y no mau in America who is the object of such intense aver sion on the part of so many persons as Jefferson Davis. This is due partly to the position he held duriug the civil war, and partly to certaiu peculiarities of his character; and when Mr. Blaine recently made his ferocious attack upon the proposition to include him in a new amnesty bill, that shrewd poli tician kuew very well that he was ad dressing a very strong and a very deep sentiment, and that the extremest bit terness and virulence which he might display would meet with an earnest response in the minds of an imm use body of people. That such a feeling exists toward Mr. Davis more than to ward any other one among the men conspicuous iu the Southern Oonfedo racy ought not, however, to prevent the candid and the thoughtful from rendering tne entire justice to him both as a public functionary and as a man; and his letter to Judge Lyons of Virginia, which we published yester day, contains an appeal which we do not tlisregard. This letter shows clearly, we think, that the Confederate authorities, tM.ie cially Mr. Davis, ought not to be held responsible for the terrible privations, suff"iiugs and injuries which our men had to pi dnro while they were Kept iu the Confederate prisons. The fact is uquestiouable that while the Confed erates desired to exchange prinooers. to send our men home and get back their own, Gcu. Grant steadily and s renuotisly resisted such an exchange. While iu his opinion the pritrotaera in our hands were well fed and were in better condition than when they were captured, our prisouers in the South were ill fed aod would be rsstored to us too much exhausted by famine and ditase to form a fair set off against; the comparatively vigorous men who would, be gtven m exchange. "It is hard on our men held in Southern prisons," said Grant.in an official com munication, "not to exchange them; frit it is humane to those lelt in the rauks to fight our battles. If we com mence a system of exchanges which liberates all prisoners taken, we will have to fight ou until the whole South is exterminate! :. it we noia tnose caught, they count for no more than dead men. "I did not, he said, on another occasion, "deem it advisable or just to reinforce the enemy; and an immediate resumption of exchanges would have hal that effect without any corresponding benefit." This evidence must be taken as con clusive. It proves tnat it was not tne Confederate authorities who insisted ou keeping our prisoners in distress, want, and disease, but the commander of our own armies. We do uot say that his reason for this course was not valid; that is not now the question; but it was not Jefferson Davis "or any subordinate or associate of his who would now be condemned for it. We are responsible ourselves for the con tinued d"ter:.iou of our captives in misery, starvation, and sickness in the South. Moreover there is no evidence what ever that is was practicable for the Confederote authorities to feed our prisouers any better tnan tney were fed, or to givfj them better, care and a teutiou than they received. The food was insufficient; the care aud at tention were insufficient, no doubt; and yet the coudition of our prisoners was not worse than that of the Confederate soldiers in tne neld, except in so tar us the coudition of those in prison must, of -.:ecesoity. be worse than that of men who are free and active outside. Again, in reference to those cases of extreme suffering and disease, the photographs of whose victims were so extensively circulated among us to wards the end of the war, Mr. Davis makes, it seems to us, a good answer. Those very unfortunate men were not taken from prisons, but from Confed erato hospitals, wdee tney nad re ceived the same medical treatment as was given to sick and wounded Con federate soldiers. The fact mentioned by Mr. Davis that while they had 60,- 000 more prisoners of ours than we of theirs, the number of confederates who died in oar prisons exceeded by 6,000 the whoie number of Union sol diers who died in Southern prisons, though not entirely conclasrye, 6ince onr men were generally better fed and m better health than theirs, still fur--nishes a strong snpport to the position that, upon the whole, our mu w re not used with greater severity or sub jected to greater privations than were inevitable in the nature of the case. Of this charge, therefore, of cruelty to , prisoners, so often brought against Mr. Davis, and reiterated by Mr. Blaine in his speech, we think be must be held altogether aiHjuitted. There are other things in his letter not essential to this question, express ions of political opinion aod intima tions of views upon larger subjects, which it is not necessary that we should discuss. We are bound, however, to say that in elevation - of spirit, in a sincere desire for the total restoration of fraternal feeling and unity between the once warring parts of the republic, Mr. Davis' letter is influitely superior and infinitely more creditable to him, joth as a statesman and a man, than anything that has recently fallen from such antagenistics and critics of his as Mr. Blaine.
