Roberts, trem the committee on rules and platform, made a par tial report and asked turther time and that the committee be increased by adding a represanta- tive trom each association, which was agreed to, and C. M. Roberts, Samuel Revels, William Hervey, William Liman, B. F. Oliphant, William King were added to the committee. Mr. P. J. McHenry was chosen financial secre- tay. Mr. i naon submitted a report cf the Bricklayers’ National Union, m session in Balti- more, showing that the new ritual had been rejected, and that a committee had been ap- pointed to wait on the President and ask for the removal of Supervising Architect Mullett, whom they censured in severe terms. Mr Robinson thought that the central committee should appoint a delegation to act on this sud- ject. in conjunction with the committee from jaltimore. He believed that by agitation much could be accomplished and ~he object of the mechanics gained. Mr. Burgoyne thought that if the bricklayers could hold off until Teesday next the amalgamated house carpenters and joiners woule be realy and prepared to ac- company themonthat mission. It was finally agreed that the bricklayers were thoroughly posted in the matter, and it was safe to leave it to them te handle. Tue Merroro.t LIC # COMMIBSTONERS met yesterday, and S. T.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton then came for- ward and delivered an eloquent address on *- Woman's Place in Government.” The time has come, she said, when the women of the country should be called upon to aid in the conduct of the government. We stand face to face with national bankruptcy and diagrace. No Spanish pirates can insult our tlagor humble our national pride as our representatives have done in the last two years in this capital.

She has studied law, but we believe has never been admitted to ihe bar, and has written numerous tracts on woman's status. Miss Anthony called the convention to order at 11 o’ctock this morning, the hall berg about three-qnarters full, and announced that Mrs, over, ot New York, would open the session with prayer. Mrs. Lozier, on coming forward, said she would ask that the audience join in singing the hymn, ‘Guide me, Q, thou Great -Tehoovah!” All joined in singing; after which, at the re- quest of Mrs. Lozier, the audience arose and in inison repeated the Lerd’s Prayer in an ime. restive manner. and an empty public treasury; with the whole- | #EMALE SUPFEAGE IN THE DISTRICT oF co- sale corruption in our executive, legislative ant LUNDA. judicial departments, the wrongs aud oppres- | _ Miss Anthony then reyuested Mrs. Sara J. sions in our prisons and asylums, labot degraded | Spen read the petition read yesterday and and defrauded everywhere; vir‘ue, honor, hon- published in THe STaR, praying Congress to esty scouted as not available in politics; woman- hood the cheapest of all commodities—with all these existing crimes and outrages reported grant the right of suilrage to women in the Di trict of Columbia In reading the petition Mrs. Spencer took occasion to urge the ladies co week after week—repeated in every journal sign it. from Maine to Texas by democrats | Miss Phebe Cozzens, of St. Lois, then came and republicans alike, the apathy and | forward and read « resolution that the national indifference of the women of tha nation © appoint a committee of seven to act is as surprising as it is reprehensible. junction with the loca} association of the Womar has a genius and power for government ict of Columbia in asking Congress to give heretoiore used wholly for personal and family trage to the wopen of the Ji The success that must ow take a higher, holier resolution was adopted, and the hair appointed aim, seeking the best interestsof ail in national Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Gage, Miss Burnham, life.

Bla | ee to call upor | the President and make arrangements for 4 | visit of the convention to him to-night. | EXERCISES AT THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH The convention then formed in processisn, and, preceded by the full marine band, marched | by way of the avenue to the Metropolitan church, to iisten to the address and poem. | Upon the plattorm were seated Gen. Denver, Gen. Cadwallader Senator and Gen. Henr: 5. Lane, of Ind.; W. H. Ward, of Ky.; Dr. Tiflapy and Gen. Pike. ‘Phe exercises were | opened with muste by the marine band, after | which Rey. Dr. Tiffany invoked the 11 blessing. Genera! Sherman and General McDowell en- tered the church and were immediately invited tothe pulpit, and shortly afterward the com- mittee entered, escorting General Negley. orator of theday. Aiter music by the band, General | Denver introduced General Negiey, member o Congress trom Pennsylvania, who cam: torward and was received with applause. Hl GENBRAL NEGLEY'S ORATION. | He said that the place which he now oc should have been filled b and it was but véry re | sented to till General meeting was no less uu and the mind goes bac fell into line to detend the honor of the govern- | ment in its third great war. Grand has been tt fultilment ot the destinies of our race since Ta lor and Scott tented thets first battalion on the soil of Me: In little more than a quar ter of a century great states uuve grown up on the foundations laid by the achievements of their arms. The claims humanity have been vindicated, the rights of the American citizen guaranteed, and th grandeur of our national union preserved. After | Teferring to the absent ones he proceeded to relate the circumstances which led tothe war in which they were engaged, stating that in the space of 49 years Mexico was cursed with different forms of government and and different, presidents, dictators, and military rulers. Mexico had then 45 900 troops, while Taylor arrived before Matamoras with only | 3,000 combatants out of 5,300 men. With this small, but effective force, he inaugurated the brilliant campaign that led to the victories of Palo Alto, and Kesacca la Palma, the siege and capture of Monterey, and the battle of Buena Vista, when with 4.500 men and 15 cannon he routed and nearly captured Santa Anna with 20,000 of his best troops. He then referred to the movement of Gen. Scott on Vera Cruz, aud his triumphant merch to the capital, when the Mexican flag was hauled down in the city of Mexico, amid the salvos of artillery by the Mexican guns now in our possession. ‘The speaker could not, in the brief time allotted to him to-day, recount all the personal feats of gallantry and daring which filled the history of that campaign. The treaty was ratitied March 10th, 1548, and the United Sta cs was enriched by the vast country now includ in the states and territories of California, Nevada, Utab, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, in ad_ dition to the peaceful control of Texas. As the result or their successes he referred to the growth of those states and territories, and said: “Reason and patriotism sanction the exulting pride of the old Mexican sollier. His services have brought within the influence of civil and religious liberty a genx realm in § favorite clime with the wealth of the Indies.’ He asked on what principle of human justice shall be the reward bestowed by a teful country upon the few survivors, and close: by saying if he had the power he would write their names on the unbroken columns of his country, and inscribe their deeds on the consecrated folds of the flag of our Union, which to-day pine a the respect of every nation of the world. The Marine band again played one of its choice selections; after which Gen. Denver came forward and said: ‘You all know Gen. Pike, and he is now before you to deliver a poem upon this occasion.” OE Ke's POEM. Gen. Pike then read the following poem : «When California was a foreign land!” How many shadowy, ghost-like figures st ried al than interestin, to the day when the years, Old, meager, ee. and from ail blood and tears, Such faces fall of pain and agony, And sitting bowed in misery; And three, the farthest from us, laurel- crowned, The years of victories over foreign foes re- nowned. Comrades and friends, the giorio s pagt recall; Live in it again; in met wpon ali — hg rs fields of how stand ogain, ow peful, eager, proud, as you were then, Rebels against the tyranny of Ly Ride a the hills, ‘With sword uplifted in her mighty hand, on her sons to meet the braggart foe, And dear her banners into Mexico, Her trumpet-call in every hamlet heard, The North and South alike i and stirred; ‘Then from the icy hills of pine clad Maine And the great lakes rang oat the same refrain.

To all alike their country’s honor dear. Little they cared the cause of war to know: Enough for them that in far Mexico Oar little aay, then the nation’s pride, Faced gallantly red war's advancing th And if not hourly reinforced would be, It and the nation’s flag, in jeopardy. The flag that tyranny abhors and hates, Whose golden stars the symbols were of states, Each star a sun that with its own light stone, Not planets, with reflected light alone, And pene | with their stella harmony, ‘The constellation’s radfent unity. Then, one by one, the days of glory came, That neither North nor Soath alone could claim, Nor wished to; whose immortal memories are ‘The common heritage of every & | Until the conquest of a nat m crowned | Gur arms, and a golden Californta foand | No tyrant, by the right of conquest lord, | To rule her by the tenure of the ewora; But Freedom, ruling by ber right divine, Making her, too, a star, with ours to shine.

England remembers, with no lessening pride, The old fields by her sons’ blood sanct'ti Remembers Agincourt, and Crecy, too, And Poictiers, as well as Waterloo. Shall the old glories of cur arms grow pale, clipeed by the latter? Sal the names ‘grow stale And dim, like stars vailed by an envious cloud, Of which their country once was jastly proud ? Let ws, at least, in reverence hold these names, And guard with jealousy their worthy fames; Honoring, as then we honored, all the brave, | When IMinois strewed flowers on Butler's grave, When Indiana mourned the fateor Yeil. And Mississippi wept when Hardin fell; Remembering that we all were Yankees there d in the common glory had a share, mnsenting not that any State should claim Exclusive right to any hero's fame. Enough! but I must try your patience still, Or a reluctant promise do fultill. ‘To read the story of one glorious day, Writ when its heroes scarce had died away. He then read his poem on the ‘Battle o Buena Vista,” heretofore published. At the cobclusion of the poem, a call was made for Hon. Henry S. Lane, of Tudiana, who me forward and greeted them all as brothers, and they could al! join im the mingling of “Yankee Doodle ani Dixie.” His heart was full, but he had been called upon at a moment's notice without preparation to speak to them. He called upon (Gen. Cadwallader; who came forward and brietly addressed them upon the meeting of so many old comrades of the Mexi- can War,and be hoped the feeling here com- menced would be perpetuated long. Gen, Sherman yielded te a loud call for a speech, and told them of the pleagure it gave him to meet so raany of them to-d&y. He gare 4 briet description of the time when it took him 198 days to reach Mexico via Cape Horn, and alluded to what had been accomplished since that day, He was giad to meet them, and hoped they wonk! always be willing to defend the same aid tlag. Gen. McDowell addressed them very briefs alluding to the fact that every battle in that e won just where the enemy und. Hespoke of Gen. @ Arkansas soldier peopt He spoke of the “two Lanes who together mate a very broad road, mountain passes | the words ‘passing, uttering, and and related many interesting reminiscences of the war. ‘ Judge M ot “South Car ad drested the on, and when he rocessiun reformed and returne: tard Hall. ° A Good Day for Divorces UR DECRERS GRANTED AND ONE BILL MISSED. Yesterday, Judge Wylie, in the Equity Court, made four decrees of dis dreey as tollows : rah Rawlings trom James Rawlings, giving tiff the custody of the ebflaren. ‘In this plaintiff states that she married ent in Jnly, Isis he deserted her is now in Burlington ‘county, N. J.

The respondent filed an answer in which she admits the marriage, and dente: the charges of misconduct and adultery, and avers that she bas done all in her power to re- form her husband, whom she charges is an habitual drunkard. She charges that he de- serted her, and neglected to contribute to her support, ar ding that she could not safely hive with him for four or tive years past she has lived apart trom him. Mr. W. F.
