lamation made that there would be
public speaking, aud Captain Wise,
Captain McCaul, and J. 5. Browning,

sheriff again made proclamation to the
pSople on the street to come into the
courthouse and hear public speaking;
and it was n0w ascertained that Capt.
Newberry, with large crowd, WAS at
the hotel still engaged at dinner. AT
length
CAPTAIN WISE WAS INTRODUCED
By Judge Wyle, and commenced by
saving TO The people that be was here
as a Readiuster, 10 discuss and defend
its principles and measures, and not to
appeal to their passions or their bad
blood, but to their reason and their
Judgment; and the speakers voice soon
rose and began 10 echo in loud aud en-
pbatic cadence through the hall lie
had uttered but few sentences when
CAPTAIN Newberry entered and ascer-
ded the rostrum, and the seats then
began rapidly TO fill NJ. Turning to
CAPTAIN New berry, the speaker said;
III in the course Of my remarks l should
refer TO YOU as dirty Or drunken New
berry as you in your speech at vs. the
Vile did TO certain otLer parties, what
will YOU 10 about ll?' IN call you to
account fer it, said Ncwberry; and l'il
render it, said Wise. But Captain
Wise never used either Ofthose eplthels
as applied 10 Captain Newberry, but
proceeded in a clear, forcible, aud able
speech to defend and viudicate the
LEADING MEASURES OF READJUsT-
MENT

Legislature, the debt and coupon bills,
the appropriation TO the school fund.-
the ample and humane provisions Tor

aud also the defeated measures the
land-commissioner's bill and judiciary
and congressional bills and u ringing
tones warned the people that il the
Funders regain the power at the next
election the readinstment OF the pubic
debt will yet be defeated, and thirty
three millions will be collected from
them by the bondholders. He defended
Arthur's administration denied that
there is any difference IN principle be
tween the two nation al parties; alluded
10 the diversity Of op!ulou on the tariff;
defended Mahone's vote in the Te6bs
case. and denounced Massey as the
traltorOus author and concoctOr OF the

Captain Newberry should be ashamed
of himself for following his leadership,
and thereby betraying the party that
had elected him, AMI charged bargain
On Massey aud tue Big Four with the
flinders to let each Of them run Tor
Congress without Flnder opposition.
Captain Wise sustained his high reputa-
ton as q speaker, and was accorded
courteous and uninterrupted hearing by
CAPTAIN Newberry aud his irieuds
(only one question b.ing asked OF him
while speaking).
CAPTAIN NEwBERRY s REPLY
was from the beginning cool aud COL
lected, aud from his manner. not un-
conscious Of The launt heretofore fl ung
out that be was nov to be sQuelched by
this champion Of the Boss but with q
Determined purpose as sans peur ct sans
reproache TO turn the tables on his
assailant at whatever cost. Many OF
Readiuster friends and others, irrespec-
live Of party, all OF whom cOncede to
him the highest integrity OF purpose aud
conscieuciousnes 10 action, nov bent
forward attsutiyely 10 hear him. From
the very erst sentence he was warmly
aud poiniedly aggressive, aud poured
out on his antagonist present AMI his
assaianls generally a torrent Of wlther'
inc rebukc and scathing denuncation
such as the writer has rarely if eyer
heard. Whether it is The peculiar
manner Of Captain Wise, or whether
goaded, stung, and maddened by the
lucessaut stream Of hO,-sh0i r, c'pitated
upou BIN. he seemed to show The effect
thereof b3 much perturbation, and tried
by frequent impertiuent Interruptions
to divert he steady aim Of lis powerful
aud fearless assailint. Clp.ain New
