Chorch, which bas been in ses- sion at Israel Church, in this city, since Mon- day last, called on Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, ai bis quarters on south B street. The Confer- ence was headed by the Bishops, who were severally introduced to Mr. S. Rev. John M. Brown, whoalsointroduced by name the delegat Mr. S. cordii of eac' After the formality of introduction was through, Mr. Brown addressed Mr. :stevens, stating that they appreciated the interest he hac ‘taken for suffrage and the colored race. The delegates present represent ever two hundred thousand persons, many of them in the Southern which, through his efforts and those of other loyal friends, had been opened to them. ‘The bishops had expressed a desire to visit him ‘who had done so much for the race, as well as the Conference. They had with them Bishop Quinn, who bad presided over their delibera- tions for twenty-four years, and Bishop Camp- bell, who cemes trom the Southwest. Ii cont clusion, be begged to express, fer the Conference and those they represented, their unfeigned thanks for his efforts in behalf of freedom and provement of the race,and he trusted that be (Mr. S.) would live to see the efforts he had mace crowned with success, aud the last vestige of slavery removed. Mr. Stevens, although very wenk, remained standing doring the remarks of Mr. Brown, and replied to him by saying that he felt re joiced that the day (last arrived when he could call them bis fellow-citizens. He felt grateful for the flattering remarks which" had been made; and if he did not deserve them for ‘what he had done in the past, he wouid try to Geserve them in the few years he had to live. ‘The vation owed them, as 4 race, a heavy debt. For many ages they had been afflicted by griev- aces and innumerable wrongs. We (the white people) bad called ourselves Christians, and Zit {nour featment et the colored people we ve not shown a ycstige of Christianity and civilization, but we had most cruelly afilicted our fellow men. Ina measure through the agency of the infernal regions they had become free, and were at liberty to cail themselves men. They should forgive us (the whites) for the grievous injuries done them and their race im the past. They had become joint rulers of the government of this great and noble country, and they should prepare themselves to et intelligently. It rejoiced Lim to see that had commenced to educate themselves and their children, which was an evidence that they would be good rulers. They should go on then in their carver of religious instruc. tion, but must not suppose that that is all that is required of them, for they must prepare themselves in the schools, and become fit to rule the world, for some day the whole world will be governed by freemen. They should study politics, and make themselves acquainted ‘with questions affecting the people and their government, for they were to take part in all these things. In all republics there were two parties, and they would be obliged to take one or the other.” In this country one of these par- ties im the past has been moderately addicted to freedom, and wher the right of universal ffrage prevails, then it will be the friend of human freedom everywhere. The other party has alwsys been the friend of human bendage, and to-day was just as much wedded to slavery as it was ten yearsago. If they were in power they would re-establish the accursed institu. | tion, or one kindred to After again return. | ing bis thanks for the cail and the kindly sen- timents expressed towards him, Mr. S. resumed his seat. Rev. H. M. Turner, a delegate frum Georgia, and a member of the Le ure of that State, replied to Mr. S.,stating that it was hardly necessary to ray that. as a race, they would cberish no bitter feelings towards the white Face tor the wrongs of the past, but were wil- ling to oury the pact, and as they had been treated as slaves w slavery existed, they only ask now tha: they be treated as freemen, freedom having been established. They be. Nieved that if they were to pay taxes forthe sup- port ef the Goverament, and as they bad fought for its preservation on the battle-field, they should have a voice with the whites. They were anxious that the nation should be buiit Bp, a ot bad been kept back until this day. and after it has been purged of the wickedness of slavery he believed that its liberal ideas would fill the world, for finally this world will be filled by freemen recognizing one common father. —————e ‘TRE ANNIVERSARY OF THE WASHINGTON Crry Bietx Socirety.—The tortieth annive: sary of this society took place last evening at the new Congregational Church, corner of iuth and G streets; the President, Hon.

A meeting of the Universal Franchise Asso- ciation, at which any ome disposed to take ground against women voting were invited io do so, was beld Saturday night at Harmonial Hall. There were present on the occasion about twenty-five persors, including white and black men and women. Professor Willcox occupied the chair, bat took part in the discas- sion “early and often.” Capt. Aaron Finney, of Connecticut, being invited to do se, spoke at some length, taking strong ground in opposition to females med- dling with politics or in any way connecting themselves with public rs. He thought the sphere of woman was home, where she should study bow best to have things orderly and comfortable,and make those around her happy. It was man’s place to provide for his household and attend to outside matters, Women would do well to use their influence in preventing their husbands, brothers, and mankind generally, from falling a prey to the snaios set to entrap them in gambling hells and other disreputable places, where they were often made drunk poisoned and then fleeced of their means.” Men, he thought, were gener- ally impure and wicked, while with the oppo- site sex he had always een taught to believe that the reverse was the case. Let woman strive to ——— and purify man instead of desiring to adopt his practices. Females, he thought, were (00 much disposed to overlook the faults of the men. In some cases this leniency pro- ceeded from love and a fancy for good looks: and in this conneciion the speaker illustrated his position by relating, a circumstance which came to his knowledge. He stated that some time since one of the handsomest men he ever saw fell by degrees into crime, until he finally ruin- ed and then killed another man’s wife, for which be was tried amd sentenced to be hung. While in jal in Chicago be was visited by a female Samaritan, who was so struck with the “beantiful face and fine proportions” of the criminal, that she told all her female acquain- tances, and many of them went to see him, and finally became so interested in him that they got up & petition and obtained three thonsand Signatures for his pardon. This was because he was a good looking man, when at the same time he had been guilty of the vilest crime, and no punishment could have been too severe lor him. The speaker was Yery bitter upon the male sex generally, and thought there were but few men to be trusted. Gamblers and rum sellers were spoken of in unmeasured terms, and he exhorted the females to labor earnestly in reforming the men, instead of seeking atter the right to vote. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, if they had votes. they would cast them the way their husbands, beaux or bro- thers voted, and would thereby corrupt the ballot-box instead of purifying it, as the advocates of woman's rights con- tended would follow. He had too ex- alted an opmion of the female sex to wish to see them mixed up on election days with bad men and impure women, as would inevitably be the case if the right ofsuffrage was given them. It was a source of congratulation to him to know that the masses of refined and educated ladies gxyve no countenance to the doctrine of woman's nights. He did not think that any great num- ber of women wanted to vote, and hi the day would never come when they could be seen doing so. He believed it_ would be contrary to the interests of morality for women to vo! Professor Willcox took serious exceptions to | the groands assumed by Coptain Finney, and briefly reviewed his speech, contradicting fiat- ly, anid with some warmth, almost every point he had made, It was outrageous, he thought, in any one to intimate that virtuous women could not vote. He believed they would, every time, snd always vote properly, too. Mrs, Anme Denton Cridge, who had been in- dustriously taking notes during Oapt. Finney’s remarks, took the floor in opposition to what be bad said. She prefaced ber speech by ask- ing that gentleman if he meant to say that no virtuous women were engaged “in the work of women's rights? Capt. Finney de- nied that any such construction could be piaced upon his language, and remarked that he said no such thing. Mrs. Cridge then proceeded in advocacy of woman's rights, and drew a glow- ing picture of a family—the husband, wife, sons, and daughters—ali marching to the polls together on election day, and casting their votes for the same candidates, or for their respective favorites. It was eminently proper that wo- man should fill her place in govermental affairs. She was taxed, and therefore had the same moral right to a voice through the ballot box as man. Let her have this privilege and then there would be less rioting, drunkenness, and obscenity practiced on election days. It Was no vain boast to say that ber influnce would operate for good, and that corruption would be curtailed. Rottenness would disan- pear in & measure, and the corrupt passions of men be curbed if brought in Juntacc with wo- man. She thought it much better that the sexes should mix together, and could see no reason why man should be permitted to legis- late for woman. Mrs. Cridge expressed sor- row that Capt. Finney had such a poor opinion of the morality of the male sex. Woman had been kept so much at home that it was no wou- der she had such sickly notions of men’s virtue. In conclusion, she asserted that wo- men did want to vote, and they had as much right to take the time to doso as men had. As for the gamblers and gambling hells, Mrs. Cridge said, if it was left to the ladies, she was sure there would be none of them long. Mr. W. P. Freeman spoke in opposition to the doctrines advanced by Capt. Finney, and pronounced many of the points dwelt upon by him fallacious and untenable In fact, he had never yet heard an argument advanced in opposition to the principle of woman's rights. He had been a married man fora number of years, and was an earnest advocate of the ex- tension of women’s privileges while his wife Was anti-woman’s rights. Women had rights the same as men, and among them he was in favor of giving ber access to the ballot box, which she could use or not as she felt disposed. The civil rights bill made females citizens, and he thought all citizens were entitled to vote. Times had chauged within the past few years, and women could now do what they could rot do before. . ‘Mrs. Mary T. Corner endorsed the sentimeits of Mr. Freeman, but indignantly objected to the remarks of Captain Finney. She contended that where there was one impure woman there were a hundred impure men. She would not associate with any man whom she thought im- pure, and did not want any man to associate with her who thought she was impure. Capt. Finney bad said that all men were impure. She was glad that he had taken the ground he ad. for she did not suppose that any woman Yianted the praise of an impure object. As to the power of women to govern for themselves, history would sustain the assertion that in olden times they acted for themselves, and their influence was salutary, The speaker then cited Isabella, Queen of Spain, Esther, the Empress Josephine, Queen Elizabeth,’ and Queen Vietona, to show what women can do in tbe way of governing. Captain Finney’s remarks were severely ridiculed by Mrs. Cor- ner. who said his assertion that none but igno- rant and unrefined females espoused woman's rights, was false. For her part, she could tes- tify that, with scarcely an exception. all the ad- Yoeates of women’s rights of her acquaintance were dignified, educated, and refined; and she bad never known any of those “low and im- pure wemen with whom the gentleman seems to be so familiar.” (Laughter) In general terms she claimed for her sex the same preroga- tives as r2en exercised, and broadly demanded for them the privilege ot voting. Capt. Finney replied to the strictures which had been passed upon his speech. Words, he said, had been putin bis mouth which he had not uttered, as bad been the case in what Mrs. Corner and Mr. Freeman had said. It was un- gentlemanly in a.man to do so, and contemp- Ube ina woman. He then recapitulated the points of bis address, stating what he did say. Mr. Freeman retorted with some severity, but would ask the pardo> of Capt. Finney if he had s*tributed to him remarks which he had not ut- tered. Dr. Purvis (colored) being called on, made a few remarks in opposition to women’s yoting, Prot. Wilcox took strong grounds against the position of Dr. Purvis. He coula not acknowledge that man was so much more powerful than woman; ifsuch was the case a conflict and annihilation might ensue. Mr. Cornstark submitted resolutions of tri- bute to the character and services of Senator Wade: but they were not received, because of their irrelevancy to the purpore, of the meeting. Dr. A. M. Dignowity, Mr. Dalv, of West Africa, Prof. G. B. Washon, J. M. Ashford, and others, took part in the proceedit and the meeting continued in session till a tate our.

Herbert, Fitth Ward: Sv Dy aecore of 66 10 2e Biz DEDICATORY SERVICES. ‘Yesterday morning this splendid church ed- ifice (a full description of which was pab- lished in the STAR several months since) was opened for religious services for the first time, and one of the largest congregations in Wash- ington assembled there, erabracing a number of our first citizens, members of C ke. Among others of note we noticed Senators Wil- son, Anthony, Thayer, Pomeroy, Tipton and Poland, Representatives Baker, yk and Farnsworth; Secretary McCulloch, Assistant Postmaster General McLellan and General Howe. The number present was estimated at abont 1,700, and ineluded abont fifty colored ‘Tsons, among them Dr. Purvis and George . Downing. The orphans from the Colored Home were also present. The edifice is yet incomplete, but the andi- torum in which the services took place, is so nearly completed that the Trustees are making arrang+ ments for putting m cushions and lay- ing the c: Preparatory to renting the pews about the firstof June. The building is 145 feet in length, aud 80 in width, and the au- ditorum is SU by 100 feet, 33 feet im height. At the north end of the room is the platform for the choir,about 12 feet in height, which is reach- ed by aneasy flight of stairs from the main stairway to the galleries, aud in front of this is the platiorm for the Minister. A commodius gallery extends around three sides of the room, Teached by four stairways, from the northern snd southern portions of the room, and in it the seats are so arranged that all have a full view of the minister. Including the pews in the galleries there are 170 in the auditorium, and the aisles being broad, small benches are near at hand, so that when necessary the space in the aisles can be made available. On the same floor with the gallery a lecture room will be provided. separated from the gallery by sash doors, which can be removed at any time, and increase the sitting room at preaching, &c., by 600 seats. The front of the galleries, platforms and stairways are unpainted. but oiled, and contrast well with the white walls. The ceil- ing has in it nine openings, (the centre being a large one,) in which will be placed ground glass plates, through which, at night, the gas Jets above will throw down amellow light, and the windows, five on either side, are of stained glass of besutiful design. On the right and lett ‘of the pulpit are two rooms, one to be used as & pastor's study, and the other as a committee room, and on the right and left of the main en- trance (from G street) will be fitted up two large rooms, into one of which a dumb waiter rises from the kitchen below, which will be used as reception rooms, &c. The style of architecture is Byzantine, and the material used brick and brownstone. When complete, the whole cost, including the ground, will be about $10,000. The church is being built on the plans of Mr. H. R. Searles, arch: tect, who bas personally superintended its con- struction. The masonry is by Mr. Thomas Harvey, and the ens work by Mr. J. W. Rumsey. The building committee are Generai 0. 0. Howard, J. W. Rumsey, R. H. Stevens, D. L. Eaton, C. S. Mattoon, ‘and L. Watson, The trustevs, who by the charter have legal control of the church property, are D, M. Kel- sey, General O. O. Howard, Dr. H. Barber, A. T. Longley, and W. F. Bascom. The exercises yesterday were opened by the choir, lead by Professor Perkins, singing the Yoluntary “Mighty Jehovah,” the solo by Mrs. Butts, accompanied by a fine Cabinet organ which will be used uniil a larger mstrument is built. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Boynton, offered Frayer and announced the hymn “Glorious ‘hings of Thee are Spoken,” which was sung and the pastor read as the lessons the 32d Psalm and 3d chapter of 2d Corir.thian, follow- ed by a fervent prayer. While the collection was being ‘aken, which by the way wasa very liberal one. Mrs. Butts sang a beautif mn. The pastor then announced as the basis of his iscourse the Sth verse of the 25th chapter ot Exodus, 1th and 17th verses of the 3d chap- ter of ist Corinthians and the 224 verse of the 2Ist chapter of Revelations, and after speaking of the commands of God relative to the erection of the temple and the duty of keeping the church holy unto the Lord he referred to the fact that2l years ago the first attempt was made to establish a Congregational church in this city which failed and since several other attempts had been made and failed, but this house had been buiit to be dedicated to religious services. Lt was dedicated also to reform, instruction, and the elevation of humanity: but the ulti: mate success of the church will depend on the blessing received by the congregation and the conversion of sinners to the living God. Here would marriage vows be made; here our dead would be sometimes brought. and the children baptized; and here would glad tidings be an- nounced. If strife and agitation entered he hoped Christ would come and speak peace, and he trusted that the members and congregation would be imbued with Christ like love and charity. In conclusion, he said: « Therefor arise, O God, and enter into Thy resting plac: Thou and the ark of Thy spirit.” An appro- priate hymn followed, and after prayer the congregation was dismissed. The congregation was organized a little over year ago, and already is quite large. The doors of the church are not closed to any one, colored people being admitted as well as white, as was the case yesterday. In the San- day school. in which there are at present two hundred pupils, there are several colored classes. one of adults. The school at present occupies the auditorium, but will be remeved to the lecture room as soon as itis completed. Some parties have circulated a report that the building was unsafe, and Mr. Gough, previous to delivering his lecture there on Friday even- ing, received a note signed “Citizen,” saying that many would not attend because they con- sidered the building insecure. The church was crowded, notwithstanding, and was well filled yesterday, and if ever a building had a thorough test of strength applied to it, it was this one on these two occasions. We understand that in the election of deacons noticed as having taken place on Monday even- ing last, the controversy pending between some of the membership did not enter, and the elec- tuon was not held im reference to such contro- versy. Itappears that when the congregation was organized and the deacons elected, their term of office was not fixed, and about a month since a resolution was offered that the terms of the deacons be as follows: two three years, two at two years, and two at one year. This resolution was adopted at the meeting on Mon- day night last, and the following were elected: Messrs. Hodges, White, Russell, Morrell, Ly- man and Brewster. ——_-_—_.
