KENDIG, who on Thursday last was convicted of em- bezzlement of government funds in 1868, while be was disbursing officer for the Patent Office, Jail, and Washington aqueduet, was brought in for sentence. Judge Cartter asked Kendig whether he had any reasons to give why the sentence shoul! not be pronounced. The ab- sence of Mr. Kiddie, the prisoner's counsel, was here noticed, and th mi after a few minutes’ consultation, Mr. Ken- dig resumed his place before the clerk’s desk, aud, in answer to the question before pro- pounded, said: “I have only to say that it seems very hard for me to suffer while the party who induced me to do this is allowed to go tree. 1 bave not, nor has my family, been bene- fited five cents by the transaction.”* ‘The Court.—*+ Who was that participant?” Mr. Kencig—*De Witt Clinton Rice.

Miss Laura-Cufty Smith then addressed the convention at length, congratulating them on the success of the morning, in having an andi- ence with the Senate Judiciary Committee. Mr. Tuley, of the Y. M. C. A., then favored dlience with a song, which’ was heartily uded, after which Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stdnton addressed the meeting at length. Mrs. Burnham, of Philadelphia, followed with a short address in favor of the cause. A gentleman in the audience then NOMINATED MRS. VICTORIA C. WOODHULL as the next Vice-President of the United States, Dut Miss Anthony informed the infatuated indi- vidual that they should not be in too mach of a ro with their nominations, as it would be to wait till they had secured the right to te. Mr. Kilgour, from the committee on resolu- tions, reported a series of resolutions similar to those heretofore adopted; which were agreed to, a few males dissenting. The convention then afjourned till 7.30 i m., Mrs. Hooker gi tickets of admission for the evening session to al who asked for them. Ev Session. ‘The last session of the convention, which re- assembled at 7.30 p. m., was largely attended, the hall being nearly full and almost every seat in the jleries taken. ‘Mrs Wright, of Philadelphia, informed the audience that in the afternoon a gentleman had attempted to speak, but that the audience had refused to hear him. She was of the opinion, however, that if he had written out his speech and allowed Mrs. Stanton or some other lady to read it, they would have assented. This was a e accused asked that he | damper on several gentlemen who were present, t see him first. Mr. Riddle was sent for, | and who had intended to speak @ piece during the evenin; Mrs. ‘Matlida Joslyn Gi was introduced as the first orator of the evening, and spoke for an hour in advocacy of the cause, Wut bringing to light no new peints in itsfavor. She denounced the un, ut legislation of this country by which they were required to pay taxes but were not al- lowed representation in any way. She then her experiences in her own city out west, ( et eville, Ohio,) where she presented hersel| the clerks, but was refused the priv ilege which belonged to her as an American cit- izen, and which was ted to ignorant for- eigners and men that could net read or write their own names on the constitution of their own country. The word “people” is mentioned in the Declaration of Independance nine times, but oe word *‘man” but once, and she claimed that she was ONE OF THE PEOPLE, and a citizen of the United States. She was disgusted with the objection that some men had to woman suffrage, namely: ‘that the country was not ready.” Was itever ready for a reform? was the world ready to receive Christ when he came? She thought that men should consider a little before they raised that objection to the rights of a woman. In conclusion, she hoped that there would be further need of women’s conventions, as she felt assured that their rights would soon be given them. Mrs. Laura Force Gordon, of California, Was then introduced. She claimed that the right which they were asking for was secured to them by their forefathers on the bloody battle fields of our early wars. She again claimed it because she h: the blood of patriots in her | veins, and she thought that the Amenican ple were unjust in their denial of that right which would benefit all womankind and make them independent beings. It was necessary for the elevation and redemption of woman, ani the salvation of this country. She then pitched into the women of this country, who GO TO CRURCH TO SHOW OFF their good clothes, and was sorry that they were such fools and devotees at the shrine of faxhion. Dr. Walker, in a loud voice, “Amen!” er then denounced THE DIVORCE LAWS of this country, and called upon all trac women to help her in her efforts to have the law of di- vorce expunged from all statutes. It was not needed, and any woman who signed a petition for a divorce was unwise to herself and foolish. To the objection that if the ballot was given to omen they would occupy all the time in vot- ing, she asked how much time does it take a man tovote? It could be done in 5 minutes, and it would take only tive minutes from the hon-e- hold every year to attend to that duty, and in the least the babies could get along for that time with their fathers, who would have ail the rest of the day to deposit their ballot. On this question she took a bold stand, and would “GO IT ALONE” rather than fail. She proposed the format; of the third party, and they would go to victory The » aceably if they can, and forcibly if they mast. Pappiauce. Mrs. C.

FINANCIAL MUDDLE—SMALL POX—THE CANAL—EXAMINATION OF DRUGGISTS— FILTHY STREET CARS. The Board of Health met last night. Mr. Marbury, from the finance committee, called attention toan account of $23 for removing the coachman of Hon. Fernando Wood to the small pox hospital, bur: ing him, and disinfecting the stable where he died. The account had been approved by Lieut. Noonan, and he thought . Wood had paid the expense; but the ac- count had been received from the controller, who, with the auditor, had endorsed it as cot rect, and sent it to the Board of Health for pay- Marbury contended that this ex- pense had been incurred by the sanitary officer without authority of the board, and therefore did not properly belong to them to pay. He ob- jected to the payment of any account but such as emanated from the board, and in that cor nection said he had called at the District con- troller’s office for inf ion as to payments a made from their appropriation without their action, and EEN CIVILLY TREATED itroller’s subordinates, goin id in his official ca- ed giving him the information, on the ground that he could not take the time to look through all the vouchers; that the amount was but #150, and had been paid by order of the Governor; that a larger amount, properly chargeable to the Board ot Health, had been settied by charging it to another account, and it was as little as they could do to pay this bill without grumbling. Mr. M. contended that no money should be paid out of the tund belonging to the board, except on the order of the treasurer, upon a yote of the board. The account was recommifted to the committee on finance. Dr. Verdi moved that the Governor be asked to request the Auditor and Controller to report how much money had been paid out of the Dis- trict treasury on account of bills of the Board of Health, for what purpose, and by whose orders; carried. WHAT THEY DO ABOUT SMALL-rox IN ICE- LAND. ‘ox submitted a letter from Professor of the Smithsonian Institution, in which he gave an extract froma letter received trom Dr. F, Hjceltelin, of Iceland, as follows: “ A severe and malignant, small-pox epidemic, im- rted by some French trading vessels into our land, was successfully treated and stamped out with quarantine ‘sulphurous fumigations, without affecting a single Icelander.” THE CANAL NUISANCE. Dr. Verdi read a letter from the president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, in reply to a communication from the Board of Health requesting that Cara tong to take some action towards remedying the canal nuisance. He stated the action of the canal company reference to the matter, and suggests that the sewers now emptying into it be changed so as to discharge their contents into the Potomac and Rock Creek; referred to the sanitary inspector general SMALL Pox. A letter was received from Dr. Patterson stat- ing that a case of small pox had been discovere 1 at Lincoln barracks on Capitol Hill, and stating that there was from 300 to 50) persons living there unprotected by vaccmation. Dr. Cox moved that the physician to the poor be directed to vaccinate all persons living there; adopted. r. Langston moved that Dr. Patterson be re- quested to report to the board the number of persons vaceinnated by him in Lincoln barracks with virus furnished him by the board; carried. EXAMINATION OF DRUGGISTS. Dr. Verdi submitted a letter from R. B. Fer- guson containing a code of rules of the examiners in relation to the certificates of Corp coniree to be given to the pharmacists or the Districi ot lumbia, and requesting the printing of several hundred copies for use of the examiners, re- ferred to the sanitary committee. “THEM” STREET CARS. —- Dr. Verdi submitveda resolution that the com mittee ou ordinances, be instructed to prepare an ordinance to prevent the use of filthy and unbealthy street cars and other vehicles in the District of Columbia. Dr. Cox stated that a delegation of ladies had called upon him to com- the annoyance arising from dirty straw. Tr. Langston tho t they had no power to probibit the use of straw. Mr. Marbury claimed that the straw made use of is not clean when put in the cars, and its use ought to be forbidden altogether.’ It is clearly in the province of the Board of Health to prevent it if deemed = rious to health. The men who conduct this business have no idea of what is cleanly and de- cent. They have no care about cleanliness, their only object being to drive to the end of their route and dump the passengers out into the mud. In former times the officers of the company compelled the dasting of the cars and sweeping them out at the end of each trip made, but now they have become a monopoly, and The resolution treat the public as they see fit. was adopted. Dr. Verdi made a report o: veying small-pox cases to the hospital. Mr. Marbury moved that the health officer be em- powered to purchase an ambulance for tie re- moval of such cases, at a cost of $150. Consid- erable discussion followed this motion as to the powers of the board to incur this ex and the matter was referred to the health officer to report as to the full cost of the vehicle, horses, driver, stabling, &c.
