NEW YUKK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1869.—-TRIPLE SHb."T. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Rival Conventions at Chicago—Immense As- semblage to Hear Mra. Stanton’s Addrese— The Proposed Constitutionol Amendment Cpoteanien Cut0Aco, Feb. 11, 1800. The two Woman Suffrage Conventions com- menced their sessions to-day. Some months since the Sorosis Society determined to hold ® mass convention and appointed committees, invited speakers, &c. Simultaneously slighted members of the same society met aud arranged also to hold a convention, Both accidentally chose as one of the days for the convention that on which Miss Anna Dickinson lectures, though both commit- (ees were anxious to secure her services, The Sorosis Division No. 1, aristocratic branch, met in Grosby’s Music Hail, and Division No, 21n Library Hall, the latter meeting being the stronger. Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony countenanced it, At eleven A. M. No. E. J. sly stated, the obfect’ of the meeting’ Mise vigorously 81 =) of m 3 boa sketched the history of the movement and rejoiced at the agitation and division of the Sorosis, a8 a f that women were asserting their rights. The Northwest ought to demand through the Convention that Congress should include wowen in the new amendment of the constitution. Mrs. Stanton always believed in woman’s right to vote, the best way to develope a high manhood being to elevate woman. Rey. Robert Collyer opened the afternoon session with prayer. if Mrs. Livermore, of Chicago, was elected perma- nent president, Prominent minuiers, judges and ladies were elected vice presidents. ‘On motion of Judge Bradwell a committee was ap- pointed to visit Springfield ana urge the Illinois Legislature to pass laws protecting widows and orphans, "tn the evé&ing there was arush to hear Mrs. Stan- ton, and an immense audience filled the Library Hall. This is probably the greatest woman's suf- frage convention ever held. At eight o’clock Mrs, Stanton being introduced, delivered an ad- dress she has sent to Congress in sup- port of a series of resolutions favoring woman’s suffrage. ‘The reading of the address occu- L seed nearly three-quarters of an hour, and it was listened to with close attention. The discussion then took a rambling form, resulting in the adoption of resolutions. ‘The Convention wii! continue in session to-morrow. It was nearly noon before the Sorosis No. 1 orga- nized. Mr. W, Perkins, of Ottawa, lil, was elected chairman pro tem, Rev. k. Laird Collyer regretted the split in the So- rosis, He favored neither femaie nor universal suf- , Dut approved of all real human progress. irs, Willard, of Boston, said man’s inventive genius had relieved woman of manual labor and given her a chapce to become educated and time to attend to the government of society. ‘The report of the Committee on Permanent Organ- ization was poe. electing Mr. Perkins, Presi- dent, and five Chicago ladies Vice Presidents. Professor Dewey compiained of Kev. R. L. Col- lyer’s lack of sympathy, and contended that suffrage ought to be universal. Mrs. Milis gave an historieal sketch of the Chicago sorosis, and explained the cause of the divisiou. In the afternson the Committee on Resolutions reported resalutions condemning Congress for pro- posing an amendment to the constitution without extending the franchise to the wowan, and declarin that a woman is a man’s equal and co-operator, an should also be his equal in legisiation and poittics. The evening session was very thinly attended and devoid of particular interest. VERMONT. Important Railroad Convention. RUTLAND, Feb. 11, 1869. The.

Large Fire at Franklin—Loss $100,000— Proposed Disbandment of the Militia. ; NASHVILLE, Feb. 11, 1869, A fire occurred this afternooff, between four and five o'clock, at Franklin, in this State, and before it could be arrested property to the amount of $100,000 ‘was destroyed. The fire originated ina dry goods store, and continued until the entire row of buildings from the southwest corner of the public square to Harrison’s, on West Main street, was consumed. The fire was the work of a negro incendiary, who ‘was shot down as he emerged from the store he had fired. Most of the property was insured, but the —— néarly put aneud to the business of ranklin, It is probable that the resolution ted by the Hone requiring the Governor to disband the militia will meet the concurrence of the Senate, though strong efforts will be made to defeat it, EUROPEAN MARKETS.

The Governors First Veto—Special Legis- lation Rebuked=The Amended Quarantine Bill Reported Favorably—The Stipowners and the Pilots at {ssue—Interesting Debate Before the Committee. ALBANY, Feb, 11, 1860, The Governor sent his first veto to the House to- day. It was upon @ bill authorizing the First Pres- byterian church of the town of Perry to sell certain Teal estate. The question is one of as little impor- tance as the town of Perry itself; but the veto ia of more importance, because it indicates the Gover- nor's very proper hostility to this kind of special legislation, which at the early part of the session occupied a large amount of time and was rushed through with unseemly ‘haste, The Governor says that he regrets tobe compelled to veto so small a Matter, but he wishes to express his opinion that this class of legislation shall be discouraged. The House was unanimous in sustaining the Governor's veto. It is probable, therefore, that all bills of this character will meet a similar fate. Mr. La Bau, chairman of the Committee on Com- merce and Navigation, reported favorably to-day the bill amending the Quarantine law of 1862, The proposed amendments do not affect the gen- eral provisions of the law. They refer sim- ply to the penal section of the law, which imposes @ penaity of fine and imprisonment upon the crews of all boats, except ‘pilot, who shall board incoming vessels for any purpose whatsoever. The amendment proposes to exempt from these penalties the crews of such boats as may board vesseis for the purpose of obtaining marine news for publication in newspapers. It Lara that the of Health shail grant a per to the owners of newspapers, upon application, for this purpose, with power to re- voke such permit at any time when it shall become apparent upon proper. evidence that the permit is used for any other o! aes than the collection of news. ‘This bill is of 80 much importance to the merchants aud shipowners of New York that it is not Iikely to meet any opposition. When it was under discus- sion by the committee a member of the Shipowners’ Association delegation was consulted and declared the bil! an excellent one for the marine interests of the metropolis. The original intention of the penal section of the law of 1862 was undoubtedly to protect vessels from the incursions of bumboats, emt- grant runners and all that class of nuisances, It clearly did not contemplate any obstruction to the early publication of news, however the law may ie been interpreted and carried out in this direc- Dh. The Shipowners Association was represented be- fore the Committee on Commerce and Navigation by Mr. Brett, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Hickman, The pilots also had & committee present, Mr. Hav- ershaw speaking in their behalf. ‘the shipowners complain that the high rates of charges which the resent law gives the pilots has driven commerce m New York harbor; that unless the rates are re- duced to something like the same level as those of Baltimore, Boston and Portland these cities will get Mr. Nelson made the discouraging statement that the remnant of trade which New York now enjoys. the docks and pliers resembled a forest nearly burned down, there being only thirty-three vessels there, and only six or eight of them of american butid. He stated further that there was only one vessel now being built in New York, The pilots put in the plea that tiey could barely make a ving at the present rates, to which Mr. Nelson replied. “It is yourown fault; there is no commerce in the harbor and, therefore, no work for you. You have killed the goose. You do not know your own interests.’ The merchants desire that the Pilot law—if there is to be one at all, which they regard as unnecessary—shall be so amended — as to relleve them from the obligation employ certain pilots and no others, whether they are eye t rg to them or not; for instance, that they shail not be bound to employ the same ee or his partners to take their vessel to sea who ought her in, if they do not like the way in which he performed his duty. It 1s ur; by the pilots that the owner can have another pilot assigned by tae Commissioners, but the owners respond that this process requires an expenditure of time and conse- quent loss that they cannot afford. The whole mat- ter was referred over until next Weduesday, when the committee will come to some conclusion as to their report upon the bill. It is a question of con- siderable interest to all connected with the commer- Ciai affairs of the city, and the report of the commit- tee will be looked forward to with some anxtety. A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Cornell University was held to-day at Sennen Hall, Mr. Ezra Cornell in the chair, and A, &. Weaver secre- tary. Mr. Cornell read a statement relative to the condition and progress of the new building. The re- sources of the University amount to $76,774 per an- num; the expenses for professors to $28,300 per an- num. Mr. George W. Schuylsr, treasurer, read a report showing receipts to be $105,000, and ex- nses $171,610. Mr. A. D.

Lecture by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher— The Evil Influences of Extremes—What Care Does—Fashionable Hops Denounced— ‘The Theatres a Failure—Ho! For the Ve- locipede—Games of all Kinds and Happy Homes. Last evening the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher deliv. ered a racy lecture in the Cooper Inatitute, the sub- ject being “Rational amusements.” There was a large attendance and much satisfaction was evi- denced for the mannerin which the discourse was treated. The Rev. Mr. Beecher first dilated upon the evil influences which extremes invariably spread around. To-day gayety isin the ascendant. Fashion in bril- lant rags is delighting society. So to-morrow comes the religious rebound and immediately revellers will be brought to the confessional. Now he proposed to wed mirth and morality, and who would forbid the bans.
