The counsel of the Canal Company will commence legal proceedings at once. At this meeting the Governor,the treas- urer, R. Fow qd. and the comptroller, Col. WJ.

Tbe opinion ot Attorney General Randall on the constitutionality of the late act of the Legislature, instructing the board ot public ‘works to vote for the nominees of the preter- red bondholders for directors of the company, wastead by Colonel Leonaro. Mr. Randali pronounces the act to be tnconetitutional, and that it is the constitutional prerogative of the board of public works to appoint the directors of the company. Col.

They then invisted that as the court had taken no action in the cases before the demurrers had been withdrawn, and the defendants’ answers filed, the answers tormed part of the recordot the cases at that time. and mustbe considered and as they swore away the equities of the bills, the conr! could not then pass the orders granting the injunctions.

The Runi¢ Inscriptions at Great Fal THE FACTS re THE CASP. sae Such exaggerated accoun's are =flont in re- g8rd ito the discovery of Ruvic inseriptions and ancient relics om the Potomac, this «ide of Great Falls, that we feel itour duty to give the facta in the tase. ‘The Gothic Marks found upon the Arrow Head Rock, by Prof. (assin som sbow conclutively thatthe Northen not only visited this country long previous to Columbus, but that they ascended the Po- tomac to Great Falls and buried there an Icelandic woman named Suasu, wiiow of K joldr, eister of ‘Thorgr. an illegitimate daugh- ter of Snorri Thorfinnsen, a famous char- acter m Scandinavian bistory. Tocy wen up on the canal steamer John J. Beall. Suasu was one of em! She was abvut eigh; feet high, and robustuous In proportion. She was 8 woman of comprehensive mind and greatgrasp. When the Northmen Janded at Analostan Islandold Snorri was down with the rheumatism, and Thorgr had the Spring fever, the worst kind. but the brave Suasn lifted each by the seat of the pantaloone and waded ashore with her burden. This was filtal and sisterpal. She wasa Obristian. She was virtuous and happy, but oldSnorri wasarusty old cuss. He used to loaf abont a: all the bar- rooms in Montgomery county, neglecting his business and spending his Roman coin in old rye. The proper name of Suasu was Susannab; but when old Snorri got about half.corned he called ber pet pames, and more so the dranker he got, thus: “Sueannab,” Susan,” «Sukey,” “Susy.” “Sue.” and when in his mandiin stage, “Su-Su,” or “Suasa.” Susannah per- ished prematurely. She tmprudently partook of eoft crabe, persimmons and milk, on a pic. nic party. She puckered up and died. Old Snorri telt pretty bad about it, and mast have got very drunk, for he sculped her name on the rock as “Suasu.” The widow was sin- cerely lamented bya large circle of friends. She was red-beaded, and wore her hair turned neatly down to cover a large wen on the back ofher neck. This volume of back-hair was thought by her admirers to resemble a water- fall; hence the name for this style of wearing the hair. This 1s why she was buried by a waler-fall. It lends a romastic interest :o her name, that she whe first achieved the water- fall, was buried by a water-fall. Old Snorr, got Crawtord to sculp her likeness. I: is to be seen on the dome of the Capitol, and is an ex eellent reprasentation, including the wen. It bas the eame swelling proportions, the same sweet-potato shape. In her right band she holds arune chisel. The obliquity of vision, noticed in her etatoe, is readily explained. Christianity was introduced into Iceland about the time of Snasu, but the Sabbath was nor observed. Old Svorri used to go 4 fishing regularly on tbat day. Suasu hoped for better things, when she could wear her new Sunday bonnet. She got cross-eyed looking two ways for Sunday. The baptism of Suasu by Henry Ward Beecher, is to be seen in the Rotunda. ld Snorri used to gamble at ten-pins. The group on the eastern portico of the Capitol represents his styleof playing. He hada hefty way of delivering the lignumvits;, killing most of the boys that eet up the pins, The widow is seen in the background remonstrating with the old man, but prudently keeping ont of the way of the ball. Mr. Tborfinnsen buried the widow by the Arrow Head Rock. sna chiseled her epitaph in the aforesaid runes. They areina good state of preservation, considering that they have stood the wear and tearof eight centuries im eoft sandstone. The letters vary from an imperceptible indentation to an inap- Freciable depth. The rock is of a ceep grey- tsb red cojor, inclined to green. It rests upon its southeast peak,and points to the north- weet, at an angle of 70 degrees from the quad- rature of the plane of the river's eurface. It is without fissures except sometimes at high water, wben perch fisher~ make a stand there. The inscription is called the + White Shirt In- scription.” Old Snorri’s shirt was pretty dirty when he landed, and Suasn washed it at the Falls. Hence they were called the « Whice Shirt Faille,” and une inscription the + White Shirt Inecripuon.” 1t reads, when transposed into Roman letters, (with the signs, and indis- tinct and restored raves in brackets.) as fol- lows {Sign O.K.] AN[DRJEW {sign Xj} HAN {CJOCK [sign X} ONA ROU KFISH BE(N)- DEK.

Prof. G. was pre- cocious from the cradle. He was able to go alone at two months, and bas traveled ever since on his shape and taleat. He made up his mind that he would finda Ruuic iascrip- tion at Great Fails, and he did. He was ac- companied in his discovery by Prof. Beau- bickman, the distinguished Washington finsncier, Prof. Bhoy, of Boston, the renowned muscular christian, and Prof. Liguorup, who 8 given so much &ttention to pneumatics beappeurance of Prof. Gassinsom is striking, though not prepossessing.

His customer wouldm’t be responsible for ihe wastage between the tail-board of the cart and bis door-step. Old Snorri smashed the lump over his head. It was so sof: it didn’ burt him. The ice was damagedsome. Old Snorri put a rune imall the papers. saying he wouldn't deliver any more at tbat price. The old man buried the proceeds of his ice business—three pickels and & counierfeit stamp—by the a:de of the widow, where they were found by Prof. Gassinsom.

It worked 80 well that it nas’nt mevded cleaning since. He also got considerable money from the doc turs for propagating disease by sewering the drainage of Washington through the heart o the city in an cpen canal. The old man wa up to all the modern improvements. The Northmen came over five centuries be- fore Columbus. They heard he had taken passage by the Cunard line, and eachered him by chartering :h» yacht Henrietta, beating him 510 years by the dodge. Colambus was very Much disgusted. They came up the Potomac in tow of the siesmer Columbia. This was in the year 1051, showing the Columbia to bea pretty old bout. This is why she is always called the “ld Columbia.” They stopped at George Sheckels Ferry Restaurant, und were immensely pleated with his establish- ment. ‘They lett him a testimonial written all in Runic, in which they certified to the excellence of his edibles and potables. George bus it framed and bung up in Dis bar. Theee old Scandinavians were pretty good on the prophesy. They left some raones on the Sycamore bluff, forty feer from the top: and seventy feet from the bottom, saying thar & newspaper would be established in Wash- ington callea the EVBNING STAR, AyAyAy, which would eclipse all other papers in esse orin posse. It should have the greatest cir- culation, and advertising patronage until the end of the world, and afterwards be continued m Elyeinm for the delectation and great re- ‘ward of good Washingtonians. They went down tothe Aaron-Collyer prize- fight, and hum bugged their wives with stories of baving a job ot Runing todoon the Fred- ericksburg rocke. They came back smelling of lager and with grase-stains on the seas of their summer togas. They got Hail Scandi- Davia from the wives of their bosoms, id served them right. They went down to the prize-figbt on the steamer Hi Livingston, and lived bigh on sandwiches and Charley Hur- die’s cough mixture. It wasa spirited trip. Old Snorri had a debate with Boney Lee The old man yielded the floor to Boney Lee. He admitted that he couldn’t bold a candle to Boney asa debater. Boney went through the old man. They visited “Newspaper Row" to engage & correspondent to write for all the Icelandic journals, but were advised that this sort of experiment sometimes worked badiy im the Row. Correspondence tothe Great Geyser Tor- rent of Freedom might go by mistake to the Hrelo Blast of Democracy, und vice versa. So they engaged Andrews, Poore, and Shaw for the press of the Northern Sylsur counties; Boyn- ton, Thompson, McCullagh, and Riley tor the Western Sylsur; Brookes, Washington, and Smythe for the Southern Sylenr; and Adams. Connolly, Crounse, Worden, Young, Bartlett: Painter, Elliot, and Seville for the metropolitan prees at Reitiavil. They secured the services of “Mack” to write up the historical sagas ot the Hou. Atklings, members of the Icelandic Legislature, with copious notes, personal, and Piquant. Fitch was engaged to do thefashion- able correspondence at the Great Geyser Ther- mal Springs. They recognized in Bueno Baro’. the lineal descendant of Brian Borrhu of glo. rious memory; and Shad. Adams was hailed by acclamation jot only the prince of good fellows, but a scion of their own sovereignty, They trace their royal pedigree ina direct line from Adam, y-/, who left Paradise tor Ice- jand, 8nd ruled there with much renown; Eve setting the fashions in fig-eaf costume, and the modern scant drapery for the rest of the world. Adam was 8 portly old sweil, and the ands were rather proud of him. They used tosay, “Long live King Adam! may bis shadow never grow lese!” Curiously enough, in time this complimentary salutation got con. tracted to “Shad Adame,” and became the dis- unctive ttle of the Icelandic, Adamie line of kings. Old Snorri was greatly pleased with the looks of Fiteb, Young, and Elliot, the hand- some men of the Row. He wants them forsons- in-law. He says be basn’t any daughters since the widow died, but he will attend tot right off and get some. They have promised to wait. Gas may be seen burning all night now tn Newspaper Row. The correspondents sit up ull daylight mastering the difficuicies of ihe Rupic corresponding band. It is the ta*/ic, or tally style, consisting of four perpendicular marks crossed by a diagonal stroke. These runes differ from the Helsing runes and the Stofkorl runes, which strike the bypothenuee of the base by an inclination over the left shoulder. The Northmen remained here several centn- ries in a state of torpid gorgeousness, feasting on steamed oysters at Harvey's and sott crabs at Dubant’s. untilinformed one day of the price of tresh beef at Centre Market. They em- barked for home that afternoon and never looked bekind them. A venerable Scald com. posed the following, which was sung in chorus as they noisted anchor— On, carry us back; ob, carry us back, Yo Uid Scandinavia shore. Ob, take us away trom such prices to pay, Aud we wont come here any more. They left one sick old man, with two hogs and two dogs for company. He was very old, and very ferble, but lived about tbree hundred (300) years in the salubrions climate of South Washington. Getting discouraged abont cly- ing in South Washington he took the street cars for the city, got the typhoid fever and died di- rectly. His hogs aud dogs begat other hogs and doge, and they in turn begat other hogs und dogs: and dogs und hogs, and hoge and dogs, propagating in such prelific style that there are now i46,3°7 hogs im the Seventh Ward, and 9,520,942 more dogs than hogs in that part of the city, They are held in the great-st rey. erence on acceunt of their distinguished descent. lt is held to be & sin to kill or molest them, and the policemen treat them with the greatest considera- tion. The Corporation law sg&inst hogs and dogs ronning at large is never executed, and should the indiscreet attempt be made by any zealous officer to enforce it, the law is straightway suspended for their benefit. A few thousands of people are Killed off every year by malaria from the filth created by the hogs in the gutters; and sick people, kep: awake nights by the howling of the dogs, don’t stand much chance Of recovery; but these sacrifices of human life are cheerfully borne by the people of Washington in support of the (zreat Principle of the largest liberty to the hogs and dogs. ‘We have thrown together these interesting facts in regard to the vist of the Nor:hmen in a hasty, desultory way, siming a: truth ratner than literary tinish.

Also, & communication from ‘he President, ix. response to a resolation calling for inform: tion in regard to recent events in Mexico. Re- ferred to the Commirtee on Foreign Relations Mr. Sherman suggested'that the resolution for adjournment be taken up and disposed of. Mr. Sumner thought it better to hear the veto Message read first. Mr Anthony said he didnot believe there would be & quorum of the Senate im the city atier 7 o'clock this evening. He concurred ip the suggestion of Mr. Sherman. Mr. Johnson cased for the reading of the Messoge, avd it was read by the Chief Ulerk, Mr. McDonald At the conclusion of the reading, Mr. Tram- bull rose and said:—The extraordinary pos: tions asenmed in that message, and as I think indefensible positions, might well call for re- ply. ink most of the positions assumed, indeed ail of them, so far as we know, denying the authority of Congress to pase this bill, are indefensible. But there isan indisposition in the Senate to have its time occupied with this discussion. If it be the pleasure of the Senate to vote upon it at once, I shall forego any re- marke that under other circumstances I should feel inclined to make. If itis the pJeasure pt the Senate I will net detain it. Cries of 4 uestion” from several Senators. The Chair then put tbe question, Shall the Dill pass, the President's objections notwith- standing? The vote being taken by yeas and nays, re- sulted as follows: Yeas, 30; nays, 6—Messrs. Bayard, Bucka- Jew, Davis, Hendricks, Johnson, and Patter- son of Tenn. The Chair announced that the bill, having been passed over the yew by a vote of twe- thirds of each Honae, was a law. The appropriation bill and the veto thereto were next taken up. The bill was passed without debate over the veto—yeas, 32; nays, 4. Mr. Johnson, who voted in the negative on the first veto, voted im the affirmative on this. The negatives wer Messre. Buckalew, Davi Hendricks, Patterson, Tenn. ‘Mr. Sherman called up the House concarrent Yesolation for adjournment, and moved a sub- stitate as follows :—That the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House shall ad- journ their respective houses on Saturday, July 2, until the first Mondsy in December. Mr. Sumner moved to striki ont the first Monday in December, and insert in lieu thereof the second Wednesday of October Mr. Sumner said one of two things must be done—either the President must pe removed from the chair he occup es, or Congress muat continue in permanent session to watch him. If I could have my way, Congress would not leave their seais. They ehould stay here as a guard to the Coustitution, as a constabulary force for the Union men throughout the rebel States. But it ie proposed to go home and abandon these Union men a prey to the Presi- jent. Mr. Sberman thought the views of Mr. Sam- ner were inconsistent with his position. If what he said were true, Congress ought not to adjourn atall. Ifany impeachment had been commenced, he (Sherman) would favor stay- ing here totry it. But the House bad -taken no action yet, except-through one of its com- mitteee, and that committee had not yet made @report. He did not believe Ociober would be & convenient time forthe assembling of Congress. In some of ibe States a poutical campaign would be pending, and every Sen- ator would be actively engaged in it. Al the suggestion of several Senators, Mr. Sherman changed the hour of adjournment iu his resolution to three o'clock p m. to-mor- nd Tow. Mr. Buckalew said Mr. Sumner appeared to forget the place in which he spoke and the Audience to which he addressed his remarks. He had expressed his judgmenton a very grave question which ought not to be d cursed im the Senate at this time. He (Mr. Buckalew] might be permitted to cay. with- out any unkindness, that ne considered lan- guage of the kind used by Mr. Sumner a gross Impropriety in this chamber. Mr. Wilson hoped the Senate would adopt the House proposition to adjourn to the 13th of November. He did not attach much impor- tance lo the views expressed in the veto. He thonght te country would understand it very well. Mr. Sumner, replying to Mr. Backalew, aid tbe proposition was that the Senute ab- dicate from this time ull the month ot Decem- ber. What was the natural and logical reply to that! Not to abdicate so long as Andrew Johnson was in the chair. If another Presi- dent were there, imbued with constitutional ideae, and resdy to carry forward the legisia- ‘lon of the couutry, there wonld be no differ- ence between him (Mr. Sumner) and the Senator from Ohio, (Mr. Sherman.) But. un- happily, such is not the case. We have inthe Presidential chair a public enemy, the succes- sor in spirit and influence of Jefferson Davis. Such Js the fact. Who can question it’ The proposition of Mr. Sumuer to adjourn to the third Wednesday in October was dis- agreed to. ‘The question was then on the proposition of Mr. Sherman, to adjourn from three o'clock to-morrow unul the first Monday im December. It was agreed to, as a substitute for the Huuse Proposition naming November 13, as the day of meeting, by yeas 22, nays 15. The resolution now goes to the House for concurrence in amendment. The Houee bill repealing so much of an existing law as prohibits the President or Secretary ot the Interior trom concluding treaties With Indians without the consent of Congress, was passed. Mr. Sumner asked to call up the bill of the House torbidding the removal ot die:rict com- Manders without the congent of the Senate, but objection was made by Mr. Hendricks and it goes over. An executive session was held, and att p. m. the Senate adjourned. Horsx.—Yesterday atter the Supplementary Recunstraction Bill bad been passed over the President's veto, as stated in the Sran yester- duy, by a vote of yeas 100, nays 22—more than the Constitutional two-thirds— ‘The Speaker announced the select commit- tee on the investigation in the Pay department as follows: Messrs. Lincoin, Scofield, Cobb. Buchland, and Holman. ‘The Speaker presented the Senate amend- rent to the House amendment to the Senate bill tor the further protection of equal rights im the District of Columbia. fe The amendment was concurred ir, and the bill goes to tne President fur his signature. ‘The Speaker presented the Senate concur- rent resolution declaring sympathy with the suffering people of Crete j ‘The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Boutwell, on g suspension of the rules. introduced a joint resolution concerning the government of the army of the United States. (The resolution provides that no district or departmental commander shall be relieved by the President from the command heretofore assigned to and now exercised by him without the advice and consent ot the Senate, unless a change of commander be recommended by the General commanding the army } The joint reeolution was read three times and passed. The Speaker presented a veto message from the President on the bill making gapprop: Uons to carry into effect the reconstruction acts. The bill was passed over the President’ veto—yeas 00, nays 2. Mr. Farnsworth suggested a concurrent res- olution for adjourning sine dir at 12 o'clock: but he did not present it to the House, and then (at 4} o'clock) the House adjourned. ®@ In Cincinnati. a ew davs since, Catha- rine Bayless was married, was arrested a lew ter for theft, and spent the honey- moon In the statton-house. 87 Potatoes are selling in Maine for twenty to twenty-five cents per bushel There ap- pears to be an abundance. and many who had a large surplus in the fall, waiting tor high prices in the spring, have actually got bit.

Yesterday. Aller ibe reading in the House of Represent- atives yesi+rday of the message of the Presi- dent, vetoing the supplementary Reconstruc- tion bil! — Mr. Stevens (Pa.) rose and said he was dis- pored to have the vote :aken on the question at once. He was ro! aware that there was any disposition to discuss it, and presumed that the Honse was prepared to vote on the argu- ments of the President. Lf there was any such desire, be did not know but that a few mo- ments might be very well spen: in that way A general desire was here manitested on the publican side for the vote to be taken at once.| He himself preferred that the previous question should be called, [Voices, “Take the yote,”] and thatthe bill be sent to the Senate and parsed, so that members could go home And leave the Judiciary Committee behind to perform its duty diligentiy for the impeach- Ment of the President. (‘This last remark was uttered tronically, and caused some laughter. } Mr. Bowtweil asked Mr. Stevens to yield tne floor to bim. Mr. Stevens complied. and Mr. Boutwell addressed the House. He said This mesenge is so extraordinary in some of its declarations that it ought noi to go to the country and the world without some declari tion of the effect which it bas on at least one mind here. It convinces me, indeed, of that of which 1 had but little doubt before, that there is no relief for this country from the op- pression which, through the instrumentality of that man, has rested en twelve millions of people, and which has been only temporarily removed by the measures against which he in bis docoment, vainly protests, except inthe assertion of that great power which resides in this House, and is nowhere else, and for the neglect to exercise wBich the people of this | country will hold as to account—and poster. | ity, which will not be intimidated by the fears that seem to control us—if we hesitate to ar- Taign this man for the crimes of which he is before the country and in my judgment, guilty and to ascertain whether that provision of th Constitution which gives the power of im- | peachment to this House is now and forever ie be a dead provieion. Mr. Boutwell proceeded to notice that clause of the message which says —" While 1 hold the Execntive authority of the United States, while | tbe obligation rests on me to see that all the | laws are faitbfally executed, I oan never wil- lingly surrender that trast or the powers | en fer its execution,” and said, in speaking this annongeement of the President. “He | bas taken an oath to support the Constitution | of the United States, the Ivading provision of | which ie, that the President eball see that the | laws are faithfully executed. If there be any meaning in the document just read, it is that he will not execute this law, although we pass | it by that constitutional two-thirds majority ‘wnich is the substitute for the Executive stg- nature, and with which it is as much a law as theugh he had willingly and freely given it his | aseent, Now, then, 1 say. once for all, that a | man who, by the exercier of tnconstitutional | thority, for twelve months inaugurated war apd rapine and bloodshed throughout ten or | elvven States of the Confederacy—a man who | bas declured on the public record that he will set At paught your law which declares that | no man shall be appointed to office until be takes the vath prescribed by the statute | of 1562, and who bas deliberately, on afore- | thought. intentionally, ert aside that law, and appointed men to office, and given them com- pensation for tbeir services. who did not take that oath, but who, as ne well knew when he appointed them, could nottake that oath with- | out perjury to the crimes that then rested on their souls, cannot be safely entrusted with power. Heraid the duty of Congress was to | Investigate fairly, fully, faithfully, and with- out delay. tbe charges that are made against | the Executive of the country. and if they be, in the judgment of the House, well founded, to arraign him deliberately’ but promptly, provecute the tris] according to the forms of proceeding, and if but by oneday his constitu- | tional term be shortened by the judgement of the Senate, liberty will be preserved, aud the country through coming ages, and mankind through centuries, will bless that people and the representatives of that people who nad the courage, as they merged from a great war, to demand juetice. to preserve tbe Constitution. to protect liberty, and to transmit popu'ar ricbte to other nations.” Mr. Randall said he would tike the chance to meet fhe impeach ers before the people. He sbould like to meet them face to face right in tbe enemy's camps. He asserted that they did | not mean toimpeach the President. They did not dare to do it. What had the President done that he should be impeached! Had he not been honest, faitniul. diligent, and correct in every particular? Let them, if they dared, atterpi to impeach the President. Mr. Butler.—I would notask ihe House to pauee in what we all undersiand to be our primary duty, ifthe message we have jusi heard did no! seem to me ‘orequire a single re- mark or two—firs: upon its rone, and second a8 to some assertions of fact. 1 do not propose to deal with the arguments in the message: but I do protest, in the name of ihe people, and in the name of this House of Representatives, agains! tbe executive slandering the Congress of the United Staies by declaring to usin an | offietal paper tha! we have pur upon twelve millions of the people of the country a despot- ism more intolerable than ever was borne by any other people. I give the exac: meaning. if not the exact words, of ihe message. Hither that is true or it is false. If true, weare wi- worthy of our places here: if false, the mun who makes ihe charge ongh! no: hold his place a single hour longer than is necessary 1: order to take ihe proper steps to remove him. 1 admit that the gentleman from Pennsylvauin (Mr. Rendall) uttered one train in bis re- marks, aud that was thai we dare not do our duty here in tha: respect. With shame and contusion ef face, 1 for one, bow tothe iruch ofthat remarks. And the question 1s, how £001 we will be ready to doour duty? How | eoon shall we meet this man! When shall we say of him in ibe language of the orator of | Rome, s@uausyue tand?m abutere nostra patiens | tia, Cotaling.”” How long shall we remain bere to be charged with enacting laws which vork a despotism on the counity?

There were pres- nt sbout twenty-five females. white and ack, cld and young, withaboutthirty males, several of whom were colored. After waning for sometime the meeting Was alled to order by Mr. J. H.

Senator P. sald he accepted the position af-igped to bim, and would discharge the duties to tbe best of bis ably. He ‘bougnt this was the beginning of what he hoped would be a glorious end.

It was gratifying to him to have seen all this brought about. He had seen tbe colored man walk all the way from the auction-block to the ballot-box. The ballot was the weapon of defense nd colored men could now proteet them- ves. it executed hia will as lightning did the will of God. We were now envering upon & new era, and propose to extend the ballo: to our wives. sisters. and daughters. In bisowa State of Kansas the question would be sub- mitted to the people this year of opening the ballot to all females as well ax males, and his conviction was that it wi id beopen. The Women did as much there to organize a Digh state of society as the men. He thought Kan- sas would Jead the way in this movement, and the #th of November there would be one inthis Union where women would be allowed to vote. They were also inangurating @ great temperance movement there, and & | man to #ell intoxicating hquors must get the signatures of a majority of the females as well asotthe males He thought that was the only probibliory jaw which could be matacained. ‘his new reform was now engaging the atten- tion of the philanthropist and the christian, and he bad ro doubt 1t would be successful. Women had to obey the laws, and they cer- tamly should have @ voice in making them, and he hoped the right of suffrage would be | extended to all persons. Senator P. delivered a very interesting speech, and was frequently imierrupted by applause. Mr. Jorepbine S. Griffin ten read the fol- lewing preamble Woereas any restriction of a right is an in- justice and upisilingly worksevil: and wbere- | Re suffrage and edncation are righte, not priv- ileges. and as society at the present time is restricted between a greater and a lees injus- tice we believe that by the equal exercise ot there inherent rights the least possible injus- luce im government will be insured, and whereas we believe that for the purpose of liberty, protection, and happiness, equal po- litical Tights and universal education not only belong to the individual but are abso- lutely neceseary to the preservation of our Government; and whereas seven out of every twelve adult American citizens are prevented by existing laws from the exercise of said rights, and se the time has come when these truths can be seen and acted on, and great evils from which we all suffer cam thus be essentially lessened. we therefore unite our- selves for the purpose of spreading the fore- going truths, and urging action thereon. and adopt for our government the following con- | stitution: Mrs. Griffin said she not was prepared to make a speech, bnt woman had shared an equal part of the sorrow and strife and the fearful results of thepast five years Iftocure an evil so great ss slavery, women had been called upon to lay their huaban the altars, was {t wonderfal that th now look sround tor some other y to She wanted the temper- ance cause advocated and brought into this movement, as all women were opposed to the eale of intoxicating Mquors. Woman desired to use all the faculties God had given her years ago. The slaves. like many silly women of the pregent day. said they had all the rights they wapted. and would not leave their ters, but what a change had com Mr. J) H. Wilcox, editor of the Sorin! Science Revive, was then Introduced, and said he was there as a man of science, not & party man. He was there fo speak of this new science, and the Worth of this science could not be overesti- mated. Truly, woman conld be called the Here was truth which all science taught it was that such a thing as Test did not exist. The human race had its iorward movement and its backward move- ment, but never lost on the retreat what it gained on the advance. Suffraye conid be misused, but it was not necessary toat it should he misused. Ltelevated every oneand spread knowledge. After making a scientific speech for one our, he declared be was not in favor of suffrage at all, but was in favor of freedom. Suffrage produced greatevile, bu it was the natureofevery reform to sabstututs a lesser evil than the one it swept away. Mre.B. A. McNair was the next speaker. She | was heartily in favor of seeing the right of suffrageextendedto women Woman had been a mere toy, a playth ing; something to look at; if wealthy, to dress up, and sit in the parlor; if for the kitchen, adrudge. She wanted the Uol- lege doors oprn to females as well as males, if there was anything there worth the males knowing the females should know it too. Women performed more work than men and should at least receive an equal salary The men wanted men to govern but women to do the work. People suid it was not fit for woman to goto the polls to vote then let the polls come to the women, but if they did go to vote the polls would be’ a respectable place. She did not know wity she ceuld not vote as well as any man who knew no more than she did. A letter was read from A. Delmar endorsing the movement and referring to the fact’ 2,000 years ago the women used to steal their hurband’s clothes to hear Plato in bis garden at Athens.
