COTTON CULTURE. ‘The increase in breadth of cotton was estimated in July at tweive per cent; combining the elements of acreage plant and its condition on the 1st of October, the natural expectation—other circuin- stances bemg equal—would lead to a comparison With last year as follows:—North Carolina, 15 per cent; South Carolina, 9; Georgia, 5; Florida, 9; Ala- bama, §; Mississippi, 10; Louisiana, 10; Texas, 40; Arkansas, 15; Tennessee, 1.

News has been received from St. Domingo City that Presicent Baez has been murdered by a party of conspirators. It Js also stated that he committed suicide on ac- connt of the withdrawal of the American protector- ate and the embarrassing position into which he had fallen thereby.” In regard to Baez's successor the following has been received also from a resident of Port au Princé:—“A deputation has just arrived to wait upon Mr. W.

Anniversary of the First Blast for Woman Suffrage, The Second Decade of the Movement—Meeting at Apollo Hall—Speeches by Mrs, E. Cady Stanton, Mrs. Pauline Wright Davis, Mrs. Susan B, Anthony and Others. Amost formidable array of twenty-seven despe- rate females and three persons of the masculine gen- der assembled yesterday morning at Apollo Hall, pursuant to an arrangement previously made. It was conildently expected that at the hour named for the commencement of the momentous provecd- ings all the irrepressible females of the metropolis would be present in force, and that there would be 4 fair show of their long-haired attendants to cheer them tn their powwow. But a cold and dreary array of empty benches met the gaze of the fair and furious maidens. Tho hour was badly selected; the People who had on the previous evening fraternzed at the St. James had not quite recovered from the effects of the political dissipation in which they had 80 fully indulged. This was hard on the woman's suffrage women, for was it not their second decade,” the twentieth anniversary of the first blast from the female trumpet, the initial wail of the disfranchised women? ‘But as no discouragement could ipommbiy. Geter the ladies who had assembled to prattie poli- lcs and arraign the tyrant man at the bar of pubuc opnion from piaylng their little game of political coquet, the FORLORN ASPECT OF THE HALL, the dreary waste of the spacious platform ana toe absence of any considerable number of the hairy + and bebreeched foe did not prevent the opening of | the meeting and the subsequent proceedings. Mrs, report, which wiil soon be submitted to the Secre- | Pauline Wright Davis, a most worthy ard eminent petticoat pioneer in the cause of woman's right to snub and worry the life out of weak-minded men, took the chair. She was supperted in her trying po- sition by a bevy of well-dressed females of DECOKOUS MIEN AND DETERMINED ASPECT, ladies to whom it were needless for any impassioned adinirer to Wilsper a worl of endearment; awful in the assertion of their rights to do ail that men de- cline to perform and highly hostile and aggressive 1n Speoernnce. To the weak and timid chronicler of the proceedings the ladies’ lace raiies and aspir- ing chignons raised thei dreadful form in anger; every rustle of a silk dress sent @ thrill of tear to his panting breast, whue tne shrill cry of “hear, hear,’’ and the subdued expression of “bully for you,” which at times during the meeting stot out from the several set lips of the fair reformers sunk into his soul. Never since the clarion tones of Mrs. Pauline Wright Davis’ matchless voice affrighted the male denizens of the village of ae. twenty ea Sie Was mortal reporter placed in such a predicament, He could not smile, (or that facial movement would be considered as unseeming irreverence; he dared uot trown lest his name was placed on the black book of the watchful sisters; he could not laugh without incurring the risk of an immediate and de- cisive interviewing by @ host of insinuating advo- cates of the rights of women. It was a great relief when, about half-past ven o’clock, Mrs, Davis opened the proceedings-—the audience by this Ume having had a large accession— and a general movement of flounces and a grand FLOURISH OF HAIR AND RIBBONS announced that the attack on the position of the enemy was about to commence. Mrs. Davis threw @ hurried glance at the ceiling, looked steadily forward for half a minote, sweetiy suilled at the blooming maidens by her side, tucked up her gorgeons ai then her right foot forward, used her handerchief twtce and commenced a rapid sketch of the manner in which the work for seevring the rights of suffrage for women had been carried on during the last twenty years. Mrs, Davis pad out that it was pre- posierovs that men should usurp so much influence and power, but at the same time allowed that It was not at all likely that they would make any exertion to deprive themseives of that power and influence. It was necessary, theu, that men shoala be ‘“galvan- ized’ into exerUon as regarded this object by wo- men. At the conclusion of the address of the president, Lucretia Mott, who had occupied a seat among the audicnce, advanced and requested permission to speak @ few words. She said that she was sorry that the andlence-was not a larger one, but thought that the interest felt by many members of the society in the Unitarian Conference had prevented their at- wendance this morning, The speaker then drew ao spirited sketch of THE DIFFICULTIES WICH HAD BESET WOMEN in their efforts to secure something like equality, and spoke in eulogisiic terms of the incessant labors aud energy oh Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, She hoped that women would not waste all their en- ergies in one direction, but remember in bow many different phases of society they had to bear a pari. They had a rae done much to betrer their onttion, and had aciteved many great trinmphs, Let them continue their efforts, She was not one to ask that woman should be placed before men in the matter of morals and force of characier, but she did de. mand that they shouid be considered as equals. Mrs. Mott then told several anecdotes in connection with the early days o/ the cause, conciuding with an loquent peroration, which was loudly applauded. Aster @ short poem by airs. Halleck on the subject of woman’s susirage Mrs. M, E. Jostyn Gage spoke a piece Mrs. k. Cady Stanton Jollowea, and Miss Susan B. Anthony, the most determined female of the meeting, gave utterance to burning words ominous to man. HE EVENING SESSION was held at the same piace, at half-past seven o'clock. The hall was tuily half filled with aggressive women and weak, wuudering men, wile the piat- form glittered with sparkling female eyes, rich dresses, dlamouds and those ornamental ¢t ceteras which are dear to the heart of the suffrage agitator. ‘There was @ wondrous display of back hair, a mighty spread of slik, and enough of costiy dresses to set a hundred ililiners up in business. The Jeonine E, Cady Stanton, the venerable Lucretia Mott, Pauline Davis, the nnapproach- able Susar Be Antiony and the editorial Mrs. Bullard were quite couspicuous on the platform, Behind and about them, in meek expectancy, but with flery, dangerous aspect, were seated the sweet and Rev. Mrs. Olympia Brown, M. Adelle Hazlett, ‘nt of the Northwestern Associa. tion; Mi. B. n Gage, of this city; Martha Wright, President ot the New York Suffrage Association; Lillie Devereaux Blake, Josephine Griiting, of Wash- ington, D. C; Abby H. Price, of this city, and Miss Saran Pugh, of Philacephia. A pretty female reporter kept the cynical but eourteous Captain Coffin in awe at atable behind the speaker's desk, and that PRETTY AND PLUMP LITTLE ADVOCATE of woman’s right to do whatever she blamed please, the genial Mrs, Norton, sat on the outskirts of the meeting, a careful and observant scout. The meet- ing Was quite enthusiastic, and those expres- sions Savoring of the indelicate which oceasionatly fell from the lips of the fair speakers during the evening Seemed to be greatly enjoyed; the ladies | tittered all over, while ali their long-aired maie | bode ate abandoned themselves to wide, por- enious grins. . The meeting was opened by Mrs. Paulina W. Da- vis, Who referred to the appearance of the meeting as regarded its respectavie aspect and introduced Mrs, Adele Hazlett, of Michigan, as a speechmaker. Mrs. HazLETT commenced by stating that she hoped that one so young as herself would net give ouence by attempting to address the meeting in_ the presence of such veterans in the cause as Mrs, Mott and others, for she assured them that thongh young in years she was lervent and earnesi in the move- mea FEMALES OF AMERICA tei and too intelhgent to submit aves ofmen.

It was a standing disgrace (hat iu 18 great republic there should be White sluves, such ag the women are, Americans had given their negroes the suffrage, and now let them give their wives the same privileges, Mrs, Haziett next alluded to the thousand and one troubies of which she said women fad great cause for compiaint; and aiter firing off some frighttully heavy artillery against the treatment received at the hands of the “lords of creation,” she said, “We lave prayed and besought the Legislature pre- viously to give us our rights; but heneéforth we shail disdain to ask; Wwe shall claim them ag privi- leges, which, under the laws of the constitution, cannot justly be denied us," Miss Luckeria Morr, a venerable looking old Quakeress, next came forward, and presented an appology tor the apparent harshness of the tone of the previous speaker's remarks, ana she hoped they would be taken in good part and as being well imeant, if a littie too unwisely uttered, MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. The principal speaker was Mrs. ELizabeTH C. STANTON, one of tke original agitators of the Wo- man’s Suffrage Movement. Her subject was mar- riage and divorce.

We had no record of marriage, as as system, until it was established in pagan Rome, 700. years before Christ, after which date and for some centuries 1t was muvre strictly observed than it had since been, At that early period civil law did not attempt to regulate mar- riage, a8 this was done by family consent, and this might account for the equivocal assertions so often heard that there were no divorces in Rome the first five centuries of her national history. As divorce was unknown to their civil law, of course there were no divorces, There for the first time the nuptial ceremonies were solemnized by the infusion of the religious element and in presence of the priests. It was not considered a duty to employ a priest at @ marriage until about one hundred and seventy years after Christ. The next step in religious mai 8 Was the perform. ance of the ceremony at thechurch door. This custom was continued in England up to the time of Edward VI. Edward L was married at the door of Canterbury cathedral to the of the King of France. “Wife of Bath,’ said worthy woman who married five husbands at the church door.” Marriage was first celebrated inside churches in the thirteenth century by the decree of Pope Emanuel II, and thus a custom Ce yor in paganism became a sacrament of the Church, designed specially, no doubt, to impress women with the sanctity of marriave so far as she was concerned and to secure on her part fidelity to the marriage. Not to go out of our own country, contrast the con- dition of society in Indiana, where liberal laws rendered divorce possible. New York, where the divorce laws were most stringent, propositions had been made to license prostitution by the State. Jn Engiand, where they are. equaliy strict, a scontagious disease act has been by the British Parliament. Marriuge, this kiod of legis- lation maintained, was not an indissoluble tw but might be sundered by a decree of the court that it was notasacrament of the Church, but a civil contract between two parties; the oue involved the other. Our laws were based on the old common laws of England, and hence it was that as the State could not take cognizance of the ideal or 1aner mar- Tiage, abe dealt with it simply as @ question of public policy, Though we were TAUGHT TO REGARD FRANCH of all European nations most lax m social morals, yet her legislature would not recognize the validity ofa marriage between @ boy of fourteen and a girl of tweive, as in this State; and the laws of her legislature are far more stringent regarding civ contracts than ours, By Frenca law the husband must be eighteen and the wife fifteen, the consent of parents and guardians of both parties was required, and in case of their refusal the contract cannot be made until the man is twenty- five and the woman twenty-one, and the marriage must be preceded by the pubiication of the banns and the ceremony performed by a public oMeial at his office, in the presence of four witnesses, and arec- ord of the proceedings placed in the archives of the State. It was a maxim in Roman law that no obsta- cles were to be thrown 1n the way of two parties desiring to be divurced by mutual consent, PONTUS EMILIUS, the noblest and worthiest of his time, being asked why he put away his wife for no visible reason, re- ied that the “shoe welding cut his foot, and none new the particular spot better than he.’ Witheut entering into the history of marriage in different ages she desired to see how it was viewed by Protestants in our own country. The Methodists by an ecclesiastical rule of their Church had taken the word “‘obey”’ from their marriage ceremouy, and the leaaing clergymen of all other denominations except the Episcopalians emit it at pleasure, thus recognizing the equality of ube relation. The Pres- byterian Church granted divorces for two causes— adultery and desertion—thus making marrage a dissoluble tle. Sy the laws of the several States of the American republic, made by Christian represen- tatives of the people, divorces were granted to-day for the seventeen following reasons:.

Bigamy, adultery, voluntary desertion from one to five years, continued absence, imbecility, vagraucy, cruelty, refusing benevolence, habitual drunkenness, use of opium, imprisonment, impotence, refusal to provide means of subsistence, immorality, wife's ree usal to foliow her husband, &c., &c, Kentucky had gone so far as make law that where a husband announced in the newspapers his inten- tion of not paying his wife’s debts she had asuficient ground for @ divorce. Marital obliga- tions were nowhere s0 little regarded as in those cou.tries where marriage was held to be a religious ordinance and divorce wholly forbidden. In 1857 two young girls, under fifteen, in New York and Boston, eloped with their father’s coschmen and were legally married, with the consent and know- ledge of their parents, and in order to obtain a divorce they were compelied to go through certain sJorms of laws in other States. One evening a young lady in the State of Pennsylvania was married to a ~~ B— by the pastor in the neighborhood, and when THE KNOT WAS TIED. the husband saw fit to take tie mock marriage in earn but the girl reserved her presence of mind, refused to “see it,” and, in order to obtain her free- dom again, was obliged to get a divorce. Mrs. Stan- ton themreferred to many other matters, touching at great length upon them, and at their conclusion the proceedinys were terminated by Mrs. Olympia Brown in prayer. A FRATRICIBE CONVICTED, Charices M. Appell Found Guilty of Killing His Brother. The jury in the case of Charles M. Appell, of North Branford, Conn., after deliberating an hour and a half yesterday found the accused guilty of man- slaughter. The prisoner was charged with the mur- der of his brother, George S. Appell, on the 12th of April last. Eurly in the morning of that day the ac- cused went to the barn and fed the horses, and soon after bis brother George came in and was about to do the same ching. aries had worked the farm, which belonged to his father, the previous year, and had been notttied that George was to have it this year. This had led to ill feeling, and, upon Charles telling George he had fed the horses, a quarrel en- sued, during which Charles beat his brotner over the head with a short, square siick used to place under a carriage wheel, and inflicted such injuries that he died in a few hours. Noone saw the encounter, and the father found the wounded son in the barn about half jan hour after the occurrence. The prisoner claiins that his brother seized him by the throat and threatened to put a knife into him, and that he beat him until he let go of his throat. ° “CRANKY TOM’ CONVICTED. It will be remembered that some months ago the details of the arrest of Thomas Hale, alias ‘Cranky Tom,” by Colonel Whitley's secret service detec- tives were published in the HERALD. Hale, who re- cently has been a ‘dealer’ in the faro bank corner of Bleecker street and Broadway, was arrested in Pittsburg in 1866, and on being arraigned in the United States Court pleaded guiity, and under pro- mise of reform and giving information calculated to convict his associate counterfeiters was allowed his liberty on a suspended sentence. About two months ago Colonel Whitley's otticers arrested Hale and sent him to Pittsburg to answer the old charge. A telegram received last night trom Pittsburg con- veys the gratifying -intelligence that “Cranky Tom” was yesterday convicted in the United States Cireult Court, on every count, and he will be sen- tenced to-day. Cranky Tom is well known in this city asa “‘sport’? and an agsociate in the counter- feiting business of the celebrated Bill Gurney, now under indtctment.
