The latter resolution was adopted by aecla- mation, when Mr. Bradley was londly called for and acknowledged the compliment in ap- propriate terms. Alderman R. W. Fenwick was called out And briefly addressed the club, He urged the holding together of Conservative organizations, as their influence would always be felt and ove efficient in municipal campaigns. The experience of the lastelection in this city had } taught him that in the wards whose organi’a - tion of the white men’s party were the longest in existence, there the party rolled np. the largest majorities. The country was still in dauger, he thought, and notwithstanding Gen. Grant had been claimed as a Democrat. yet he should never trust bim matil he heard him speak. For himself, he should have no con- fidence im the mcoming administration until the three dead States” (meaning Mississippi, and Texas) were admitted. election for President had passed off without those States beng Permitted to vote, aud he therefore denied that Grant had been elected by the vote of the whole United States. There was nothing so humiliating to him, who had elected by over three hundred and fitty votes in his ward, to have to sit by an African in the Aldermen's Chamber and often to be called on by bim for the law; but he had not yet condescended to reply to him, as he did not Tegard him as eligible. If this was pro- gression, he had enough of it. At the next municipal election, there was a Collector, Register, and others to be chosen, and among those who now hold office wh» should be turned out was Boswell, who had by his usur- Pation and management kept out legally. elecied Conservative members of the two Boards, and given the city into the hands of the Radical party.

Mr. J «2. Richmoud was called to the chair, and Mr. B. C.

Crosman made some introductory re- marks, congratulating the Club ou the elvetion of General Grant to the Presidency. He lad done well im everything he had undertaken, and would do well in the tuture. There were men present who could write as good a letter or make as good a speech as General Graut, yet be believed be would make a good Presi dent. He had pledged himself to protect the loyal people everywhere. and he (Mr. C.) was willing to trust him. All the party wanted Was to see equal rights every where established. Aud all religious insttuuons protected. H= thought General Grant was perfectly mght in declining a public demonstration. He believe that the President elect would do much for this city.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED, A meeting of the Universal Franchise Asso- cation was held Monday night at Hermouial Hall, (Woodward's Building,) on D street. b=- tween j0th and Ith, About forty persons were present, including eight or tn females, three colored persons, and three boys. Al five mii utes past eight o'clock Prof. Wilcox called the Meeting to order, stated the objects of the asso- ciation, and gave a history of its progress for the past year Im conclusion he imtrodaced Miss Nettie M. Pease, who began by paying an elaborate tribute to freedom, at the conclusion of which she maintained that because the beau- fal form of the female sex had not been en- dowed with all the privileges and rights which man enjoyed, freedom ad not done her work. ‘She weucover ali the objections which had been Urged sgainst the argumentsof the orators im the cause of woman's rights, and clumed that Af justice demanded certain rights of goyern. ment for men, women were equally entitled to the same. In’ answer to the oft-repeated re- mark that woman had never yet rerformed any very great work, or made her particular mark in this world, she replied that it had been So because woman had not been permitted to fill her proper sphere, or been encoar- aged man to see what she could do. Radical reform in justice ‘o the female sex was demanded. She should be prepared for her advancement in the scaleof civilization by aa extended education; not that superfl. ial learn- ig which femairs of the present day acquired, but a solid, practical education, ‘embracing mobg its prauches & pare physical study, hich will fully develop the haman frame, And not permit it to be cramped by tizht lacing and other systems of fashion.

She was dressed in what seemed to the reporter at the distance be was sitting] bright browa silk, closely-fitting in the waist, witha gold watch and chain suspended from her neck. Her voice was exevedingly weak and monotsnous, and style snd gestures decidedly schvol-child hike. During the evening she occupied a seat on the platform.) Dr. John Mayhew then addressed the asso- ciation. setting out with theassertion that there Was no position that man was capwnle of fill- ing that woman was notequally fit for. In fact, there were features of the sex Whici, as & general thing, made them batter qualified: fo: in the purivy of ber character she would al- ways act from instinct, and these unpulses ‘were always the best. That the female sex should be ‘entitled to the right of the bal- lot box was, he thought, a self-evident fact, and until she was permitted to vote there would always be corruption in elections. He spoke in seaihing terms of the supreme control which the rharriage rite gaye maa over wo- man, and thought it was a curse and stigma upon civilization for the wife to be made so much subservient to her husband as the law made her—many of the husbands bemz drunken proiligates and tyrants, who squan- dered her property without her will fu the matter, and often inflicted physical abuse. Woman was as well qualified as man for pub- lic or private siation, and justice demanded that she should have these privileges accordad her. Let us admit her, be said, into the Con- gress of the United States, and legislation ‘would be not only purified, but the disgraceful scenes which had frequently been enacted 1a our legiglative bodies would disappear. Dr. C. B. Purvis (colored) being the next on the list of speakers, addressed the Association, starting out with the tdea that in the election of Grant and Colfax as President and Vice Pres dent of the United States the great work of reform had been advanced, and im that reform one of the brightest links in the cham was the bestowal upon woman of all the rights which man = He thought the good work, a+ he termed it, was going bravely on, and cited @s an evidence that the pathway Rad been opened, the fact that in both Natioual and State legislation certain privileges had lacely been given to women which they nad never had before He doabted net that before the next Presidential election women would be entitiet to vote The dawn of day was at last, he said, discernible, and the election of the Kepnblicaa candidates was the signal gun of peace ard justice to all races and sexes. Mr. Wood, of Wyoming, next addressed the Association.” The problem of progressive go ernment Was one Which the inferior imtellec the statesmansbip of the present day nad show. itself incompetent tosclye; but he hoped the ture would yet come when mew haying con- trol would rise above selfish ives of por- sonal aggrancimment and do that justice to Woman which was her right.

Prof. Willcox tollowed in an appeal to the business men of the city of Washington to come forward and join with the association in giving woman her rights. The business, he said, of all communities prospered in accordance with tt degree of liberty enjoyed, and tf the commercial element of a place give to the female sex th+ right to vote, ihe apex of human liberty will have been atiained, and the wheels of business will run freely on their axes, Key. Mr. Martin, of Chicago, closed the mest ing wih brief remarks, taking the zroand that in the extension of Woman's tights just in pro- Portion was the moral condition of man im- pre: it had been urged, he said, against Women’s voting, that they wonld become cou tominated by conflict at the potis with dranken. swenri 1; but this, he thought, would not be the case long after the privileze w extended to the fair sex, aud in proof of th Astertion be called attention to the that it was very nnusnal for men who Accompanied ladies to the theatre or otner places of amusement to get drank while acting 4s their escort. Such would be the result if females attended the polls on election day; for no man of the slightest decency cares to be seen drunk or heard using improper language in the presence of females, and the effect would be that men would keep sober on such occasions and deposit their ballots rational!

The wedge-shape blocks are then | driven down into the sand or earth with a | Tammer and swage until their upper ends are two inches below the upper ends of the square ended blocks, and the foundation is of the desired compactness. When the blocks are enfficiently hammered down, the whole eur- face ot the pavement is thoroughly saturated | With boiling-hot coat tar and asphal- | tum. and then covered with clean sand at | east half an inch m thickness, Wherever used this style of pavement is said by the in- ventor to have met with high favor, on account ofits economy, comfort. and durability. j SS EES A Tin Weppins: —A large number of the friends of Mr. S. W. K. Handy assembled at his residence on Lith, between B and C streets. South Washington, last night, to celebrate his tin wedding, he having entered the marriage state on the 10th of November, ten years ago. The occasion was one of much social enjoy- ment, apd the bountifal hospitality of the honored host was freely indulged in’ till long | past midnight, when the party dispersed for | their respective homes, each leaving behind the very best wishes for the health and pr perity of the happy couple, and expressing the hope that they might live long enough to con- ver the tin into a “golden wedding,” and as much longer as they desired to. Of those pres- ent there were but few exceptions who did not bear with them a tin present of some kind, the whole combining a ponderous Assortment, ranging im character from a tin whistle toa horse bucket. New STYLE oF Pay —_ oe ——_ ! EpiTor STAR: You often give us reports of deaths ty drowning, but I do not recollect that you ever told us of any suceessfu C= cessful medical attendance, Your silenc this point seems to indicate that no attempts at restoration to lite have been made. In Prussia, | where I bave followed the medical profession for a number of years, the law demands that 1 puysiciam called in shail continue his effo: at Tetrievement for full two hours, and inquest has to make a fnil statement of his pro- cedure, for which he is held responsible. Suc. cess is tewarded with a premium of ten thalers trom the Government funds, m addition to the regular tee, which the patient has to pay. In almost every town and city where there is danger of accidents from drowning, life boats, | fishing apparatus, operating rooms with re- | storntives, baths, ete., are contunually kept in readiness; and I think the same usage prevails in England. Have we bere anything of the kind ALP. ——e————— REPURLICAN Meetinc.—Parsnant to ad- journment, the diflerent Republican organi tions of this city met at the headquarters of tue Boys in Blue, i Pennsylyavia avenue, Inst evening, Col.
