This ends the question for this session. Wirconein takes the lead in the women snf- frage movement—the Senate having concur- by a vote of 19 to 9 with the Assembly resolu- tion proposing to amend the constitution so as to extend suffrage to all persons over the age of twenty-one years. The Conservatives held a large and enthu- siastic meeting at Memphis, Tennessee, Wed- nesday night, and appointed delegates to the Nashville Convention. Resointions were passed asking colored voters to send delegates fo the same convention. It is definitely settled that the maritime or commercial German flag shall consist of three stripes—black-white-red, this being a combi- nation of the old Hanseatic colors, red-white, with the Prussian colors, black-white. The Pennsylvania Legislature adjourned finally at noon yesterday. One thousand six hundred and fity.two bills and sixteen joint resolutions were passed, 1,256 of which have thus for been signed by the Governor. A burglary was committed in New Orleans yesterday morning, in Uanal street, of £30,000 worth of jewelry. The thieves were cap- tured, and the valvables recovered. A prize fight between Dooney Harris and Tommy Chandler, stakes %5,000, took place near San Francisco yesterday; result not known The ice in the Kennebec river has broken up at Gardiner, Me., and passed down the river as far as Richmond. Tbe Turkish Government has sent ()mer Pasha to Thessaly, to take command of the troops in that province. The Paris Moniteur of yesterday morning contains an editorial on the Eu: opean situation, the tone of which is pacific and tranguilizing. Meetings agai: Chinese labor continue to be held in San Francisco. The Franklin Insurance Company of Mem- phis, Tenn., has failed. . Thira Ward. Mr. Rutherford, upon taking the chair, briefly thanked the convention for ‘he honor conferred upon him. The call for the convention was then read, when Mr. F. A. Kiopier said that, as there full representation, the Ist ward not delegates upon the floor, he thought it would be rather premature to make nomina- tons for city officers, and he would therefore move that when the convention adjourn it be ht, in or- der that the ist ward might also be represented when nominations are made. They a for- midable foe to meet, and should prep2re them- selves fully for the contest. Mr. Maceron objected. The Ist ward had bad as much time te attend to the matter as the other wards; and if that ward had chosen, it could bave bad delegates here to-night. Mr. Flinn moved as amendment that when the convention urn it be until next Mon- day a week, ard & committee of one dele- gate from each ward be appointed to consult with the Democratic and Conservative citizens of the Ist ward, and have them call a meeting to elect delegates. Mr. Miller introduced a resolution declar- ing that the convention would meet to nom- imate candidates on the evening of the 25th instant; but he subsequently withdrew it, and Mr. Klopfer’s motion, as amended by Mr. Finn, was agreed to. Mr. Van Riswick moved the adoption of the following resointions Resolved, That this convention recogni the duty of nominating only such men as the best interests of the community at heart Resolved, That in said nominations we hope to secure the approval and support of all conservative men. Dr. Allen advocated the resolution: believed they expressed rightly the feel! of the convention. He believed it was their duty to act ich manner as to secure entire har- mony amongst all the opposing elements to radicalism. The result of the Connecticut election had showed what could be effected by such harmonious co-operation. The opinion seemed to prevail amongst seme that a strict party machine should berun in this contest, but he was not of that belief. With union they May bave success; without it there will be certain failure. Mr. Aiken.—Don’t you think the wording of the reselution somewhat loose! The words, “Sueh men as have the best interests of the community at heart,” are rather vague. : Dr. Allen thought the words were all mght He contended that they made the preper dis- tinction between the conservatives and the radicals, who had not the best interests of the the community at heart. The resolutions were then adopted. Messre. Barker, Aiken, Crowley, Marceron, Miller and Gill were appointed the committee to confer with the First Ward yoters. Mr. Crowley moved that the thanks of the convention be extended to Mr. Clement Wood- ward for gratuitously granting the use of the ball for the meeting of the convention. Agreed to. Mr. Aiken said that though the hall was tree there was some expenses to be met for €4&s, chairs, and the use of a boy. Mr. Aiken own bande, and he thought that these resolu- tons would place all asseciations im their proper positions. He theresore offered resola- tions endorsing the Central Association as the parent association; thateack ward shall elect five delegates, to meet at Weod ward's Hall on the 2th of April to form an executive com- Mittee, and that such members be required to be members of the Central Association. Mr.N.H. Miller moved to lay the matter over for one week that it might be well con- sidered. Mr.S. G. Brown (colored) moved to refer the be to the executive committes. tr. E.G Harford did not eee the use of ite reference, as the committee did not meet. Mr. Miller replied that the committee had met. but that the gentleman (Mr. Harford) dia not attend. The motion to refer to the executive com- mittee was then adopted. The names of EF. L.. Schmidt, Hon. William Helmick, and G. W. Drew were proposed, and they were elected members. Mr. T. P. Beli moved that the execative committee be cut down from fifteen to nine, As at present composed it seemed to be impos- sible to get a quorum. The Chair said he conld not see how the number could be reduced, and some debate took place on the propriety of reducing the number. Mr. S. G. Brown, (colored,) the chairman of the committee, stated that he had decided that five constituted a quorum, but that he was overruled by Judge Miller. Mr. Elvans said that if he was a candidate for office the remarks he was about te make Would not advance his interests. When he came to the ball he found four reg orters pres- ent, and these constituted the audiemce for some time. He did not wish the impressien to gO out that the association was a one-man affair, and he was giad to see that since he came in quite a respectable dience had gathered. the fact that about the place of meeting, Might be no mistake hereafter, the reguiar meetings be held hereafter at Wisewell Barracks every Thursday evening; which motion was adopted. Hon. Mr. Helmick was called on, but de- clned to make any address, promising to make one &t some future time. Dr. P. H. Rinehardt was called on, and ad- dressed the meeting, in the course of his re- marks urging that the aim of the party shall be to wipe ont that copperhead maebine at the City Hall. He bad heard that his friends meeting down stairs (for some of them were socially his friends) intended to nominate a first-rate ticketof colored men. They might Altempt it. but he did not Know where the can- didates would be got; and after they had got them, they should be carefui that they (the colored candidates) did not turn tail on them. They would try and catch the colored vote; and there was his good friend Dr. Clayton, (a bigger copperbead could not be found in the District,) who says he can carry the colored vote. He referred to the fact that there were some educated colored men, one of whom, Dr. Rock, was an ornament to the race, and spoke of having, & few years ago, put up notices ef LOCAL NEWS.

(Looking around.) If any one has any thing to say I'll withdraw it. A Voice—Oan we have the use of Wood- ‘ward's Hall for the next meeting ! Mr. Atken thought he could say they could. Mr. Tolson offered the following resolution Ktesolerd, That we urge all conservative cit- izens to register their names, that the perni- cious efforts of those who would injure the city may be defeated. If they perform that duty success is ours. Mr. Joyce—A‘int that rather too pointed * 1 move to strike out the word ‘-pernicious.” Mr. Aiken moved to strike out all after the word “defeated.” Mr. Maceron contended that if they didn’t perform that duty, success wasn’t theirs. Dr. Allen said it the resolution was objec- tonable he hoped it would be withdrawn, but he hoped something would be done to stir up the Conservative citizens to register. The word “pernicious” was stricken out, and the resolution adopted. Dr. Allen urged the necessity existing for every man to register, and upon his motion a committee of one from each ward was appoint- ed to a i An address upon the subject, and Messrs. Barker, Kiopfer, Dubant, Van Ris- wick, Tolson and Allen were appointed the committee. Mr. Miller asked whether an opportunity would be afforded for citizens to be registered in the wards that had been passed. Mr. Flinn suggested that the committee on Address should consult with the jadges of the Supreme Court, and request them to order an- otber registration if the registers did not pos- sess the power now. He thought, however, from the reading of the law, that the registra- Uon could be made up to the time of elec- tion. Mr. Klopfer took a different view of the sub- ject.
