The Bour Mmecting was 5% e’cloek. remarked that a should not go nto such a crowd as was at the polls presen their places im which remark the old lady who had come in to learn. replied that ehe would sooner be behind | one of than beside a man who drank whisky, at which pomt the reporter found it per | convenient to walk ont to recaperate his ex- hausted energies. Just before six o'clock Mrs, Julia A. Archi- bald Holmes appeared. im company with her brother, Mr. Arembald, and Prefessor Wilcox made bis appearance about the same time. | Hon. Amasa Cobb, Dr. Wright, J. H. Crane, | Mrs. Josephine Griffing, Mrs. Dr. Lockwood, | nee McNall, and about a dozen others, also ap- peared before the close of the meeting. | At 6 o'clock, Mrs. Dr. Cridge p: ved that Mrs. Dr. Walker take the chair, which motion was carried. Mrs. Dr. Walker, who by this time had doffed her hat, walked quietly up to the clerx’s desk, and it was noticed that she wore black gaiters and pantaloons, (cut tight kneed,) black dress extend: to abont the knee, ana silk coat trimmed with jet ornaments, and over her bairshe wore a black velvet ribbons with an ornamentin the centre. Mrs. Cridge was elected seeretary. The Chair stated that the intention of the meeting was to organize a white woman's franchise association, and to work for the franchise until every white woman who could read a ballot and write her name should have the right now extended to all male citizens. She supposed that it would be proper to organize a permanent association. ‘ne following committee was appoint-d to nominate permanent officers :—Mrs. Lansing, Mrs. Auna D. Cridge and Mr. A. Cridge. After consultation, the committee reported the fol- lowing list: which was adopted :—President, Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker; Vice Presidents, Mrs. Mayer Wallach, Mrs. Mayor Bowen, Mrs. Sen. ator Patterson, Mrs. Capt. Moore: Secretaries, Miss A. Mentree, Miss Jenny Foster, Miss Connelly; Business Committee. Mrs, Larner. Mrs. H. Sanders, Mrs. E. F. Adams, Mrs. Dean, Mrs Richards, Miss M. E.G. Christian, Miss Kate Crosaman, Mre. Bradley. The Chair expressed the wish that com- mittee be inted to draft rules and reguia- tions; and @ motion to that effect having been esrried, Mr. Cridge was appointed. Mr. C. ex- pressed a desire to decline, and the Chair e: pressed the = that he would not do so, even if he did not have the honor st being a lady: and Mr OC. acquiesced Afteran intermissien of some minutes, Mr. Cridge reported the following 1. The society to be known as the White Wo- men’s Tutelligent Franchise Association. The object is to extend tne right of suf- frnge to such white women of the District of Columbia as can read and write. ’. Each member engages to endeavor to se- cure this object through legislative enactment | on the ground that a difference does not imply superiority or inferiority, and tha | of fact white women now excluded from the night of suffrage, average at least as much in- telligence as those by whom it is exercised. | _ No action was taken on the report, but it was ood that it would be the basis of th- tution of the Associauon. The following resolutions were read and the | chair in vited discnssion thereva : | Resotved, That to deny to white women ths of suffrage is most positively and practi- joassert that white women are interior men. Resived, That the District of Columbia. small and compact, having but one controling legisintive authority, is most suitable for the experiment of doing tardy justies to woman Au elderly lady asked what was the object of conferring sufirage om white ladies; why not include the colored? Mrs. Holmes remarked that she belonged to ® universal suffrage asso- ciation, and she would like to know if the res Tattons as resd could be sustained by argn- ment. Prefessor Wilcox said that he indorsed exery word of the resolutions. Those that believe in woman's rights are regarded in the saune light as the few followers of Calhoun, who were looked on as dreamers: but the time would come when public sentiment would change The present position of woman was a | grest blot on the civilization of the country. ; He wanted to see women enjoying every right, | including that of suffrage, He was corein | women could use the ballot discreetly, and she certainly could vot: more intelli: ently than the hundreds who Iately voted re ‘without being able to read their tickets Mrs. Holmes endorsed the rema-ks of Prof. Wiicex, and favored an educational quilitic. tion, but would like to haye the word « stricken ont of the resolutions. Mrs. Cridge perp Meg the rights of white women, and t this freedom had been | Attained, st would be time enough to advocate the rights of the colored women to vote. Weite Women are superior 1m education and equal ia intellect to the colored man, and should have the sume rights. {Applause Mrs. Dr. Mary Watker ‘called the Secretary to take the chair, and said she did not come to the meeting to make a speech, but ber blood | boiled when she beard men talk about the in riority of women. When they hung Mrs. | rattit was s triumph for American woman. They treated her as a responstble being. Mary Harri- and Dan Sickles were treated just alike because they killed bad men. Were they not ashamed of the position in which they placed women? Not a week bad passed since a clerk on 7th street beat his wife, and she has no r-- Gress: and in certain States a man can peat his wife if the whip is under a certaiu diameter,and he does not give more than 4 ceritin number | of stripes. She had found the tyrauny of man | over Woman in the departments, and was told by some that they dare not attend one of these | meetings. for fear they would be dismissed. She | believed that there were too many voting now: | but women should vote, and all yoters should have the educational qualificauon. In Algiers Women voted, Sud on educational questions in Kansas. She condemned the system of allow- ing mem, who she said were only one remove above idiots, to go to the polls and deposit their ‘Votes, as they did bere on Monday, alongside ot the noblest men. | Action om the resolution was postponed, and | the meeting adjourned. 3 Povice Ireus. nm Miller, arrested by Ufi- ger Miller, of the seventh precinct, was before | Justice Harper yesterday, charged with being A vagrgnt, and Was committed to the work- heuse for 30 days.
