w WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Feminine Pioneers in Politics at the Polis. The Town Election in Hyde Park, Mass—The Belles aud Beauties of the Town Triumph- ing at the Ballot Box—The Ticket Put in the Field by the Women Success fal—The Attempts of Disorderly Mon to Hiss Them from tee Polls Frustrated. THE FEMALE JURY IN WYOMING. HYDE Park, Mans,, March 7, 1870. ‘The movement among the women of the country ‘to secuse universal and impartial sutfrage and be- come equals with the masculine members of numan- “aty in the matter of civil and political rights seems ‘to begaining most remarkable headway in Masaa- ehusests, It may be said, in fact, to have reached the very paroxysm of delight, for it nas most un- questionably passed through the various etages of Goudt and ridicule, and is fast becoming a question which is to be met in opposition only by sober and “serious argument. Here in Massachusetts, as well fein other sections of New England, the matter bas been frequently and vigorousiy agitated auring the past few years, and it has finally ripened into @ formidable movement on the . part of the petticoat brigade, which will give encouragement to their sister sympathizers all over the land, and thia little obscure town of Hyde Park, a dozen miles from Boston, will pop 1to his- tory as the renowned and sacred territory where the women of America asserted and demanded civil and politica! equality in spite of all law and public sentiment, For ubout two months we wilful and strong-minded fewiaines of the tawn have been agi- * tating the matier of appearing at the polis to-day -@md demanding the privilege of throwing their ballots for town ofMcers. and im pursuance of the agitation and devermination they were on hand for this express purpose this afternoon, some ot them walking long distances, and all braving one of the most severe and blinding sow storms of the season. Two or three days ago a preliminary meeting was neld and the arrangements nd details were decided upon and nominations made for town officers whom they should support, the ticket selected including @ couple of women as candidates for School Commissioners. They admiited sympathizing men to this primary gathering, and their most industrious and able champion and co- Worker was Sylvanus Cobb, the clever and versatile story writer, and through his efforts and counsel the movement gained suflicient strength to assert itself conspicuously upon the world. The occasion which afforded the oppressed sex an opportanity to assert their wrongs and demand an adjustment was the annual election of town officers. The election took place in the Music Hall builaing, ‘which, by the way, is nothing more than the oid Apollo Garden lager beer buliding, recently trans- Ported hither from Boston, The polls were opened at two o’clock, but long dYore this hour ali the townspeopie had assemblea, and many had come from Boston and elsewhere to ‘witness the triumph or defeat of “the women who dared.” The weather, as already stated, was most unpropitious, and the general conclusion was that the elements, if nothing more, would chill and, per- haps, wholly destroy the feminine ardor which would have been expected under other circumstances, Wind and weather, however, had no ter. rors for the indomitable ana persevering women of Hyde Park. i¢ waa town meeting day, @nd tley were bound to attend to the duties of the hour,.if not prevented by the cruel men or the laws ofthe land. Shortly after the polis were opened ‘they began to come, singly and In pairs, but instead of entermg the building where the balloting was going on they proveeded to the Everett House aud here held a caucus in one of the parlors, none of the sterner sex being admittea save the HERALD re- porter, Mrs. Theodore G. Weld, formerly Miss Grimky, of Sout? Carolina, who voluntarily liberated her slaves and beeame the first public femaie speaker in ‘opposition to the laws against fugitive slaves, was ine leader in all the deliverations, Out the counsels ‘and suggestions of other women were conaidered and everything was harmonious. It was finally de- cided that at halt-past four o’clock the women assembled should proceed to the polls in a body and demand the right of depositing their ballot for town omMvers. This arrangement having been agreed upon, the interveuing time until the momentous « hour was occupied in discussing the justice of temaie suffrage and exchanging congratulations with each other upon the everlasting and national fame which would crown their coming action. ‘They were all jubilant, aud some seemed actually intoxicated with the bold movement they were ividuatly and col- lectively inaugurating. During all,thie mutual ad- miration buzzing there was the utmost anxiety and curiosity existing among the men assembied im the Voting hall actoss the street. ‘The deiay of tne women tn making their appear- ance led.to the rumor that their courage had failed Vem, and the anti-female suffrage masculines were in high glee. Thetr joy, however, soon trued to sorrow; for in a few moments Mr, Syivanus Cobb received a delicately written note, and proclaimed its contents in a joud and eloguent tone. The aritt of it was that a number of the citizens of Hyde Park, of the feminine gender, were assembled near by and proposed soon Lo enter the hali and de- anand the privilege of expressing their preference for the oificers of the town for the ensuing year. Mr. Cobb said that he did not wish to interfere with the business of the meeting or interrupt the gentie- men Who were voting, but he would suggest that if there were any friends of universal suffrage in the hall it would be gallant for them to go over to the Everett House and escort the ladies nither. Some of the gentlemen. present, Mr. Cobb said, might have wives, daughters or mothers among the namber, and he hoped that for this reason, if for no other, the ladies would be treated decorously. They only asked the favor of coming over, perhaps more than anything else for the purpose of driliing themselves in the form of casting the ballot, and thus preparing for the great Sor and obiigation which would, with the help of God, at no very distant day be conferred upon them. ‘Their votes, he said, of course, would not ve counted, and would have no influence for or agaiast the elec- tion. He then again expressed the hope that the ladies would be treated with civility and respect, at Which there were affirmative responses and cheers, mingled with a few hisses. When Mr. Cobb bad finished his few remarks the eyes of all were turned towards the door to witness ‘the grand entrée of the ‘coming women.” ‘The sus- pense was only momentary, for there soon appeared @ couple of elderly dames whose frosty locks had ween seventy or eighty summers and as many win- ters. Mrs, Weld, with @ cotton umpreila in spe band and a ballot in the other, was foremost, She came forward wholly indifferent to the astonished faze of thé other #ex and dropped her ticket in the xX and passed out of the bal) with an aur of triumph and delight, worthy of the hero of a hundred battles. Her companion, of like maturity, with spectacies of prodigious size, followed by anotner woman of years, then dropped the ballots in. The crowd ameanwhile became noisy and demonstrative in the extreme. Some cheered, some groaned, some hissed, aud ‘ail united in making a8 much noise and ‘contusion as possible. One kurrahed for Brigham Young for a selectman. Others shouted for Kit Burns and Billy Edwaras for school commitvee, and Lucy stone, Hughey Dougherty, Harriet Beecner Stowe and Laay Byron were euggested as fit per- sons for other offices of trust and emolument. Just a8 the contusion seemed bordermg on a riot, and as the strong-minded women were becoming timid, Mr. Cobb, wivh determination in his counte- Dance, deciared in @ ioud stentorian tone that unless order Was maintained he would have certam men in the room arrested. ‘then, iooking in tne direction from whence the disturbance originated, pointing his finger ip a Websteran manner, he satd, im & tone at once sarcastic and full of rebuke, “Aint you ashatued of yourse) Don’t you think you are acting like mek? We will forgive you Sor al} this if you will now try ana beuave like’ or- éeriy gentiemen.” hese words of the Ledger novelist, so determined and unmistakab-e in their meaning, Were momen- warily effectual, and the voting by ‘he women was resumed. The elder aues led off 48 before, and atter half @ dozen or more of the matrons had satisfied their amoition by casting their baliois, there came a string of maidens, Some of them were very pretty, some ttnld and bewitchmgly modest, and the blush upon their rosy cheeks as they declared their politi- cal "a gn eviaently caused @ palpitation be- Aeath the vests of those wuose ballota had more Weight in determining the result of the election.

The fact that severai of these bal- lots were “scratched” showed conclusively that the sex will very readily fall tuto the tricks and cus- toma so well known to experienced politicians, Notwithstanding their votes were thrown out, the infuence of the bold mayement was such that the lucket_ which the women put into the field was eiected by a large majority.

The Female Grand Jury in Wyoming—Their Right to Serve Sustained—Addrees of Judge Dowe. Laramie Crry, W. T., March 7, 1870. The judiciary of Wyoming sustain the right of women to serve as grand jurors. Ail the ladies drawn as grand jurors were present in the court room at eleven o'clock this morning. A motion was made to quasn the panel, but it was not sustained, At five minutes to twelve o’clock the first panel of lady grand jurors in the world were sworn, None of them asked to be excused. An able address was delivered by Chief Justice Dowe. He said:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JURY—It is an innovation and a great novelty to gee, as wedo to-day, ladies summoned to serve as jurors. Theex- tension of political rights aud Iranchise to women is a subject that is agitating the whole country. I uave never taken an active part in these discussions, but Lhave long seen that woman was @ victim to the viceg, crimes ana immoralities of man, with no power to proiect and defend hetseif from these evils, I have long felt that such powers of rotection should be conferred upon woman, and it a8 fallen to our lot here to act as the pioneer in the movement and to test the question. The eyes of the whole world are to-day fixed upon this jury of Albany county, There is not the slightest impro- pricty in any lady occupying this position, and I wish to assure you that the fullest protection of the court shall be accorded to you. It would be a most sbametul scandal that 1m our temple of juatice and in our courts of law anything should be permitted which the most sensitive lady might not hear witn propriety and witness. And here let we add that it will be a sorry day for any man who shall so far for- get the courtesy due and paid by every American gentleman to every American lady as to even by @ word or act endeavor to deter you froin the exercise of those rights of which the law has invested you. I conclude with the remark thet is a question for. you w decide for yourselves. No man has any right to interfere. It seems to be eminently pieer for women to sit upon grand juries, waoich will give them the best possible Opportunities to aid in suppressing the dens of in- famy which curse the country. I shail be glad of your assistance in the accomplishment of this object. I do not make these remarks from distrust of any of the gentlemen. On the contrary, I am exceedingly pleased ana ‘atified with the indication of intelli- gence, love of law and good order and the gentle- manly deportment which I see manifested here. I will Dow listen tO any reasons Which apy jurors may make for being excused. . EGYPT AND THE NILE. A Tale of the Catacombs and the Desert— Cat-Astrophe in a Lecture Room. Last evening the rooms of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association, corner of Twenty-third street ana Fourth avenue, were weil filled to hear a lecture on the above subject by Judge Israel 8. Spencer. The speaker addressed the audience for nearly two hours, during which time he described cities, ruins, pyra- mids, temples, catacombs, with the greatest accu- racy imaginaole; gave dates, figures and distances, and ak without so much as once referring to notes. In fact, he had not prepared any, or at least did not exnibit any manuscript, consequently every one was greatly iy ape at the fluent manner in which he spoke, and the accuracy with which he called to mind dates and figures, of which, as was necessarily the case, he had @great deal to say. During the lecture, and while the vast audience were breathlessly listening to the eloquent remarks of the speaker, a hugh brindle cat, upon which some one had evidently been trying the effects of turpen- tne, came rushing in at one of the side doors avhich lJeads on to the platform at the rate of about ten Knots a minute, took a couple of turns around the platform as though every joint nad been lubricated for the occasion, and then left by the same door through which he, she or it had entered. Judge Spencer, a8 soon as order was restored, de- scribed and gave the history of Egypt from its first Y setuement down to the present day. The popula- tion, he said, cousisted of 20,000 Turks, who occupy all the prominent positions; 150,000 Copts, who claim to be the descendants of St. Mark; 2,000,000 Asiatica, 200,000 Bedouins, the descendants of Ish- mael, and @ few French and Jews who are tne money changers of the country. He described the different classes of society, their manners, customs, habtts, &c., &., mentioned every ruler that had ever held sway in the land, ond dilated at consider- able length upon the laws, religion and mode of worship.ot the country. He also described the great river Nile, its source, 80 far as known, its annual overflow and the pyramids, temples, catacombs and ruins that line its shores. STRIKE AMONG SEAMEN, Specie Payments vs. Wages. A movement has lately been set on foot by the Proprietors of lines of steamers running from this port to reduce the wages of seamen, firemen and coal passers ten dollars per month, and has been put Into effect by the proprietors of the Cromwell line and Merchants’ line, which run steamers between this port and New Orieans. The ostensible reason for the reduction is tne approximation of paper money to ie con wvaine. This, the seamen and others aifected only @& preiext to put in practice @ long cherished intention of cutting down wages: and, entertaining these views, and being regolved not to submit to what they regard as an injunctice, many of those affected have struck. The nucleus ef the strike 1s the Ocean Sea- men’s Benevolent Association, On last Saturday the George Washington, of Cromwell's lin, and the Crescent City, of the Merchants’ line, which were to sail for New Orleans on that day, found themsely. without crews. The proprietors of the Oromw line hastily picked up what men they conid find, put them on a tug in the East river and brought them around to pier No. 9 North river, wiere the George Washington was lying, and put them on board, 1 Ubis method of shipping the men to avoid antici- pated trouble from che strikers, who swarmed ou the plier and who they feared wouid prevent the men from coming on board from the pier. The Crescent City steamed down to Governor's Island and received men similarly picked up, who were brought down to the island onatug. The strikers held a meeting Ja4s evening to initiate a general strike, but refused for the present to make pubdiic sheir plans. BiL DE LA GRANDE DUCHESSE, Rowdyism Nipped in the Bud and the Volap- tuaries Triumphant. The bali at the Everett Rooms last night was a great success, and as far above anything yet given at this place as the arrangements were superior to any single ball of the kind given during the season. ‘The crowd as early as ten o'clock’ flowed into the rooms in large numbers, 204 members of the gentler sex were.in special prominence. At twelve o’clock there was a perfect jam, and the dance, led by Gaffre, went on through @ perfect maze of pril- jani costumes, representing all the known characters of ancient or modern history—pages, demons, Irishmen and the usuai characters at masked bells were also in unusual numbers, and @ real. free- hearted gayety prevatied throughout, and none of the usuai roughness and “‘dufferness” was to be seen. No doubt the admirable arrangements of the police, Under the supervision of Captain Burden, who has taken care of all the French bails of the season, were Vo 4 great extentgresponsible for this; for when the Slightest disposition to fight showed itself tne cui- prits were mercilessly deat with.

Large Mass Meeting at Mount Vernon—Captain | The We’ 407 peaten Subject—Yesterday Lawrence Vindicstes His Character and Proves that He was Falsely Charged With Corruption. A large and enthusiastic Yass meeting of the peo- { ple of Mount Vergor, and surrounding neighbaer hooa of Eastoh* cer, Westchester county, was heir, last Wight @t Union Hall, Mount Vernon, In obe’ 4. ence to the following call:—~ The friends of the mechanic end laborer and all U .ose in favor of internal improvements and opposed to blac? . repub- Mean legislation and Know Nothing ‘anda mulv aj ‘sami ration society in this town known as “i 1” “Associa- tion,” also those opposed to the negro being on ‘an equalily With the white mant and in tavor of the constitu jon situs and the doctrines and principles of Wasbiny ion, Jetferson and Andrew Jackson, are reapectfully invived to attend « muss meeting, to be held at Law’s Union Bviidings, on Mou- day evening, the 7th inst. ‘There was quite a lively time ingthe village. Hun- dreds of people came to the metiing in large coun- try sleighs, bands of music played through the town, and the vrazen voice of a six-pounder woke the echoes of the night by loud reports. At eight o’clock the meeting was organized by the ‘election of Mr, R. W. Edmonds to the chair, ana the appointment of a loug list of vice presidents and C. A. D, Meyerhoff as secretary. The CHAIRMAN, in explainingjthe opject for which the meeting had been convened, said that there nad been a great deal of talk for the past seven weeks about boulevards, and charges had been brought against Captain Lawrence. If these charges were untrue, and were proved by an examination of Cap- tain Lawronce’s books to be go, he hoped their ver- dicwould be that night, ‘Well done, thou good and fait servant.” Captain LAWRENCE then took the stand and pro- ceeded to vindicate himself from the charges pre- ferred against him. He alluded to the meeting held Some ten days ago in relation to this subject, and said ne .was there most grossly vilified, He had not the figures then to properly. vindicate himself, but he had them now, ers.) He could show that not one dollar rece! from the bonds issued had been misappropriated. Captain Lawrence then proceeded to read irom e9_ carefully prepared, nd in which he accounted for every cent of money iaced in nid hands, and showed that it nad been judiciously expended. Mr. JoHN L, Mapes, engineer of the White Plaina road, was next introduced and gave a statement of how the funas placed in his hands had been dis- bursed, which apparently gave general satisfaction to the assemblage. Mr, W. H. PEMBERTON, president of the White Plains Road Commission, next spoke, and said the commis- siopers, if allowed to go on, would give the people the best and most substantial road in the county for the money. A great deal had been said about the commissioners receiving money, but he told them not one of them ever received a cent in an illegiti- mate manner. He said one of the commissioners of that road paid more taxes than the whole combined Opposition, (Cheers.) Mr. F, A, SEAVER spoke of Westchester onan as the great outlet of New York, and asa place which was rapidly ing more closely allied to New York city by affording residences to its surplus popu- lation who could afford to keep their country seats. Hundreds of men would come toto Eastchester and purchase property when they found there were plenty of good avenues and roads to make 1t easy of acces#. This cry of dishonesty was trom the ‘outs.’ (Applause.) Mr, Seaver concinded by passing a nigh eulogium on Mr. Lawrence, and the manner in which he had fulfilied his daties in connection with the boulevard and other improvements in the county, ntlemen concerned tn Mr. Woop, one of the bringing the charges against Captain Lawrence, next spoke, and whtie he admitted that that gentle- man had proved that the town had not been swindled to the extent he (Mr. Wood) had supposed, yet tt suill appeared that while the utmosc limit of the bonds were $68,000 the Supervisor asked for the issue of bonds to the amount uf $116,000. Captain LawReNce replied that’ the contract alluded to by Mr. Wood was different from that of ‘he Boston turnpike road in that it was given out for money and not on bonds, because it was under- stood that the work could be done ten per cent cheaper by paying the money down. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted and the proceedings closed:— the taxpayers of the town of East Chester and en publicly Jnvited to meet at this time and the pury f expressing our views upon the ques on of completing the old Boston post road and the old White Piains road, and raising dditlonal funds for the pur- erefor re, post road being one of the oldest and most travelled public roads in the county of West- chester, the public interests imperatively demand that the ‘ame should be completed in the most tions manner consistent with the Plans and specificatiote adopled py Seenmissiouere for ee ing aald’ roe ot for wor! road.

This necessi- tated a heavy eutiay. But now, that this part of the job is completed, comes the qrowning work of all— the paving. No soouer was the meeting of property holaers called to consider the question as to what pavement should be adopted than the advocates of half a dozen pavements rushed into the Common UVounctl chamber and each had a hearing. It was finally resolved that a com- Inittee be appointed to select from woodjpavements and a committee on stone pavements. Asit is gen- erally believed that the Nicolson is the only wood ment the improvements and modifications of it worth notice. The Williams pavement has a houlder’’ on each biock at the base.

A few large contracts like that in Grand street are already within their grasp, and they hope to secure the consoii- dated city.

The down town people, that is those who go down to exhume “rocks” upon which to subsist, moved tn slower procession than had been their general wont, All the avenues were to @ certain extent blockaded by mixed d-lutions of snow, mud and water; and this Salma- gundi offered @ delightful obstruction to the street cars.

Following the reading of a portion of the Scriptures that gentleman, in a brief address, explained the objects of the association of which’ he 1s president and adverted earnestly to the great amount of money annually expeaded in New York for tntoxi- cating drinks, their deleterious results to those who are the victims of the beaatial habit of daily partak- ing of them, and closed an eloquent Sppeal by invok- ing the ald of all present to sustain the society in its efforta to extend the good work. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was the next speaker. In all the earnestness and eloquence for which this géntleman is noted he alluded to the taithful band of te! ce men now endeavoring to work a re- generation among the men and women of the pres- ent day. Social in rggetcr gece meen om in the extreme, being the pitfall of many noble young men, who, vy invitation and example, are sacrificed to the habit of drink. He ed bis hearers to give up their liberty and aseert their Manhood in this respect. Our country cannot Nigbtfnlly exist unless temperance and intelhgence supplant ignorance and drankenness, and to effect this salvation the Church, the poy. and the master of business must aid in making the young a band of ‘men who will abhor the tippling and liquors and all the vices incident thereto. orace Greeley followed, and claimed shat all alcoholic stimulants were poison; that science had established that truth and it could not be subverted. 4 collection was then taken up in aid of the society, when the large audience dispersed. ANOTHER MEETING OF THE NEWARK POLICE COMMISSIONERS, Patrick C. Bryce Appointed Captain—The Work of Reconstruction Fairly Commenced. The members of the Newark Police Commission held another meeting yesterday afternoon and evening in the committee room at the Stei- son House. President David Anderson oc- cupied the chair. A special committee of five members of the Vommon Council, of democratic complexion, headed by Alderman A. C. Westervelt, waited on the Commissioners and urged that the juominees of the regular democratic Alder- manic caucus, bolted by Mr. Cain, be favorably con- sidered for leading positions on the force. The com- mittee was courteously received and the Com- miasionera promised to coneider the matter. It is given out in certain quarters that the Commissioners were expected by the democratic caucus to carry out its views in the matter of appointments, but the Commissioners themecives declare they will not be goverhed in their action by any body or clique. Thus far, however, they have entirely acted in ac- ordance with the wishes of the democratic caucus, ana yesterday appointed to the captaincy Patrick 0, Bryce, heretofore % patrolman, and formerly, under democratic rule, captain. He wasthe nominee of the Aldertn: aUCUS, aUd takes the place of Cap- tain Peter F. Besides appointing elght patrolmen to fill vacan- cles, the following c! jes Were made in the detec- uve soya: io place of Charles Doughty (said to be one fain’s Casi Thomas Dunn; in place of P. C, Smith, Robert A. Haggerty. A cofmittee of the German Democratic Central Committee also waited upon the Commissioners and urged the propriety of Ring out for German in- terests on the iorce. None of the Commissioners have yet been sworn in. SPECIAL POLITICAL NOTES, Quoth the raven, Whittmore, nevermore. Quoth the Kentucky darkle, Golly! Day. Gebbil’s to pay. What Tennessee won't do—’Rab!
