10 “THE WOMAN'S CONGRESS,” of A National Congregation Womanly Wisdom at the Union League Theatre. The Ballot for Woman Not Alluded to Only by Accident. The First Female Social Science Association. Babies, Sewerage, Marriage. and Materia Medica Discussed, but No More Free Love. A great event has transpired, and it is the duty ‘Of the HERALD to record it, The Woman’s Congress as been nearly twelve hours of yesterday and last vening in session, and it is actually a fact that ‘ut one woman in it has spoken of or alluded to ‘the wantof the ballot for woman, and the horrid, Baughty man has been alloyed to go almost scot Wree of feminine abuse. The woman movement thas taken a new and surprising departure, and the reach which has been growing wider and wider ‘between the moderate party and the extremists was deepened yesterday by a greater chasm than ‘ever. SOROSIS AND TAMMANY. ‘The public may not be thoroughly conversant with the fact that for some time past the more vio- Jent woman's rights people, headed by Victoria C, Woodhull, Susan B, Anthony and others of the game stripe, have been diverging so wideiy in their theories irom the accepted conventionalities of gociety as to compel @ certain number of lady agitators.who have membership in the Sorosis Club of this city to organize a new movement of women which was to be directed and manceuvred by the leaders of the Sorosis, to the mutter destruction of the free love party. A slate was made out o! officers and a ‘fonstitution was framed, and these were sub- mitted to a small but select party of ladies @t the house of Mrs. Rider, in West Twenty- ‘third street, on Tuesday evening last. It was re- woived to call the new organization by a name which wouid free it from the reproach which has hitherto attached to the more violent shriekers for ‘the privilege of the ballot and the primary, and so it was settled that the new birth should be called “The Association ior the Advancement of AWomen.” Now tiisis an euigmatical title, and mean anything or nothing and leaves the members free to iollow any new idea or ism that May occur to their restless and inquiring minds, and yet the title commits these ladies to nothing. They have also gained some ideas from the late ‘Evangelical Aliiance held in this city, and one was to prepare papers on the subjects to be discussed belorehand, and read them in the sessions held b; the association. Woman, being naturally tmpul- give and prone—even the wisesi of them—to jump toa conclusion, the preparation and reading of Papers was decided upon as a most necessary Measure of saiety, And it was also decided upon to have first a temporary organization, and to have Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, of Chicago, ‘Who possesses a good, ciear and_ reso- pant voice, and considerable knowledge of “Cushing’s Manual of Parliamentary Law” as Chair- ‘Man of the temporary organization and afterwards to be President of the ‘Association for the Ad- vancement of Women,” whicl was to be evolved from the brain of the temporary organization. THE CHARACTER OF THE CONGRESS. Of one fact there can be no doubt whatever, and ‘hat is apparent on entering the Union League Theatre, in which the association is now in session: | iv is by allmeans the most select, the most cul- | tured and best ordered convention of women ever | held in this country to discuss the topics so dear toevery woman's heart, Over a dozen papers ‘were read yesterday by these ladies, and not one of them was carelessly written or carelessly read, and many of them gave evideuce of deep reading and wide information. The theatre is quite @littie bijou of an interior, and yesterday morn- y hall-past ten o'clock it-was pretty well jed by a concourse of Jadies who all had that cast Of features so peculiar to the educated women of ‘ew Engiand stock and Puritan blood. There was ‘@ table for reporters in the orchestra, and on the stage were several tables for the ladies who were to manage the Convention. The proceedings were ‘opened by a prayer from the Kev. Phabe Hana- Jord, female clergyman, and the call of the asso- ciation was read, Letiers were read from Ewily Faithful 2nd other English ladies in regard to social questions. The reverend lady introduced Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, of Chicago, a large and masculine lady, dressed in black silk, as the Chair- Woman of the “Association for the Advancement of Women,” the name by which it is hereaiter to Be known. THE CONSTITUTION AND OFFICERS. A constitution was read and submitted by Miss Alice C. Fletcher, the principal secretary of the Association, a charming, energetic and handsome young lady of brunette complexion, and it was Roticeable for its brevity, having only six short articles. The second article states that the object of the Association shall be “to receive and present ractical methods for securing to woman higher teliectual, Moral and physical conditions, and ety to improve al’ domestic and social rela- ns. Annual congresses are to be held for tne reading and discussion of papers pertinent thereto, The initiation fee shail be $2, and the dues shail be $2 a payable at the beginning of each congress. trict parliamentary forms are to be observed in al) sessions of the body. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore ‘Was elected president, together with a long list of ae prom aenee, secretaries and an executive com- IN THE THROES OF DEBATE. Mrs. LEVERMORE stated that ladies should not ‘Move about or disturb the meeting, as strict at- tention to the reading of the paper necessary. She was always nervous, she said, 11 people were etirring about and she supposed all women were alike in that respect. Shecalled upon Mrs. Julia w Howe, whom she observed the body of a@he audience, to read a paper. Mrs. HOWE, @ pale, studious looking lady, with a Donnet covered with autumnal tints, rose and waid, in avery distinct and clear voice, that she ‘Would not goon the platform. She had no voice 4m this\body, whose officers had been chosen and ‘whose constitution had been iramed at a prelim- Mary meeting. She had a paper and would read Mt or not read it, as she thought it would be ser- viceable. Mrs, LIVERMORE rose to explain in a sturdy ‘Manner, and there was some prospect of a slight row fora moment. The organization, she said, only needed a slight string to hold it together for ‘the preliminary purposes, and ladies who were mot present at the preliminary meeting should not omplain, for it bad been advertised in aii the @norning papers. She knew that Mrs. Howe had the goodof woman at heart, and she knew tha’ ‘the meeting was ready and anxious to hear her. Mrs. ISABELLA BEECHER HOOKER, a lady with gr urls and having a shaw! about her shoulders, wdvised concession and conciliation, Sue sub- Beribed to the call and would submit. Mrs. CELIA BURLEIGH, @ lady with a masculine shirt front and hair a /a Roga Bonheur, and wear- Ang spectacles, sympathized with Mrs. Howe, but @oped that she would read her paper. Mrs. CHARLOTTE WILnOUR, a tall and graceful Qady in biack silk, rose and stated how ail the ‘trouble came from the fact that ladies had not arelully read the call of the association. Mrs. ELIZABETH CaDY STANTON rose and solved the question in a moment. She said that the thing ywas to know, at the end of these three days’ Javors, whether the women here assembied stall NEW ‘YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBEE 16, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET, _ ristendom reached the age of maturity, and that the evil of prostitution was not a more deep and damning shaine than the terrible mortality of chil- dren. 18 it trae, said Mrs, Corbin, that woman alone of all the animais is not able to prodace healthy offspring? She would not speak ol the use of tol stimulants, or of the evil of conjugal intemperance. Woman lived to please man. ‘The speaker told an anecdote of @ lady who visited Vas: Coliege some years since, who was informed that g@ man housekeeper would prepare a luncheon jor her, as they had tried all kinds of lady housekeepers and they had fatied, 80 amaD had to be engaged. Mrs, Corbin after- ward informed the reporter that she was in error in regard to the other anecdote. Mrs. Corbin spoke rather harshly of “Bridget,” meaning by that the type of Irish servant girls, and advocated the system observed tn Europe Oi cooking meals at restaurants, and also advised that household linen should be washed at public launartes, thus giving the wife and matron a bet- ter opportunity to raise heaithy children and min- ister te the wants of her husband. Mrs, TRACY CULTER, of Ohio, read a paper on the Same subject as the preceding speaker, and a brief address of ten minutes was permitted toa Mra. Helen Slocum. Mrs. Howe and Mrs, Stanton also spoke on maternal topics, and an explanation was made 01 a false statement made by another laay on a medical subject by Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi. Mrs, A. A, ALLEN, Preceptress of Alfred Univer- sity, Allethany County, New York (a mixed college for both sexes), explained the working of that in- stitution, in which 450 young men and young girls were being educated. Tobacco was not chewed at this place, and she said it was six miles from a glass of beer. (Laugh- ter). Duriny the evening sesston papers were read by Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, Rev. Phebe Hanaford, on “Woman in the Chureh;” by Phoebe Cousins, a lady lawyer from St. Louis; by Louisa Woodworth Foss, of Boston, on ‘Reform in Woman's Dress; by Mrs. Abby G. Woolson, of Con- cord, N. H., @ most charming and beautiful paper, worthy of the best days of Charles Lamb, and others. The association then adjourned to meet this morning at ten o’clock, precisely, Dr. Mary Putnain Jacobi, the first lady doctor ad- mitted to practice in Paris, will read papers this morning on “Medical Education for Woman,” ahd in the afternoon Proiessor Maria Mitchell, daugh- ter of the great astronomer, Will read a paper on “Higher Education for Woman.” Mrs, Stanton will also read an interesting paperon ‘The Co- Education of the Sexes.” Gentlemen will be ad- mitted to the proceedings, and no admission will be charged hereatter. THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE. A Prayer Meeting by the Dele- gates in the Capitol. “THREE CHEERS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.” Banquet at Willard’s Hotel and a Good Time Generally. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 1873. The members of the Evangelical” Alliance left Wiilard’s Hotel this morning and proceeded in street cars and omnibuses to the Capitol, and as- sembled in the rotunda pursuant to previous ar- Tangements. Quite a large number of persons had gathered there, and ameng them many of the gentler sex, to obtain a look at the distinguished visitors, Alter all had assembied Dr. Suuderland asked that all join in singing “Coronation,” when the united voices o! the whole delegation made the dome ring, the singing being rendered with a hearty good will, All then passed out of the east door upon the portico, Singing as they marched the hymn, Lora, when Thou dids’t ascend on high, Ten thousand angels filled the sky! On reaching the steps of the eastern portico Rev. Dr. Tiffany announced that Mr. Alexander Gardner, who was present with his apparatus, would take a photographic view of the group, and requested that they would arrange themselves, uncovered, and keep quiet fora picture. On account of the motions of many in the group the first and second trials were failures, but the third one was pro- nouncea to be good. Dr, Sunderland then re- quested all to jom in singing the hymn, . Jesus shall reign where’er the sun Does his successive journey run. ‘This was sung wiile all remained standing with joined nands. They ciosed the singing with a verse commencing, Best be the tie that binds ovr hearts in Christian love. A prayer was then offered up by the Rev. Dr. Rodgers, of New York, at the close of which all re- peated the Lord’s Prayer. Rey. Dr. Marston, of London, rehearsed the Protestant Church creed, all joining In, and at the close singing the doxology “Praise God, from Whom AU Blessings Flow.” Be- fore re-entering the Capitol building Rev. Dr. Tif- fany announced to the deiegates that the hotel bilis of the members from foreign countries were paid and they would give themselves no trouble about toe settlement of their expenses in Wash- ington, as arrangements had been made for the payment of them. Three cheers were proposed and given for Dr. Tiffany. The Doctor then an- nounced that an invitation had been extended to the delegates by Governor Shepherd to attend the banquet to-day at Wilard’g Hotei, and requested all to be present. Some one proposed three cheers for the President of the United States, which were given, and THREE CHEERS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. ‘The delegates then reached the Capito! and were shown through the various rooms, inciuding the Library, Old hail of the House of Representatives, New Hall, Marble Room, Supreme Court, Senate Chamber, the President’s and Vice-President’s rooms, 4c. The pictures, statuary, and other ob- fects of interests were explained to the visitors y Rev. Drs. Sunderland, Yiffany, Hall and others belonging to the city. Rev. Nasharayan Sheshadrai, the Brahmin convert from Bombay, seemed to be an object of much interest to the crowd, on account of the peculiarity of his dress and his white turban. Afver going through all the rooms of interest in the Capitol the visitors were escorted through the grounds of the west, {ropt where they took ommibuses for the Smithsonian Institution, Agricultural Department, Patent Office and other points of interest, an Spent some time-in sightseeing. Bave brains enough to call; themselves in eon- gress, and not to know who should set on the platform or record the proceedings. (Applause.) Mrs. JuLIA Warp Hows thought that it waa not x ere that woman had brains that the Congress been calted. That question had been settled ago. Organization andassociation were very Serious things if the method was to be considered. jation Was as solemn as marriage. She was ‘willing to sit as a member of the Congress, but not mga member of any permanent association when ghe did not understand its aims. MRS. ISABELLA BEECHER HOOKER read the call asan raecnon nore Mrs. WILBUR stated that, to obviate delay, the Borosis had constituted itself a local committee. Mrs. LivexuoRé stated that no lady present had @ fight to vote until she had paid her initiation dee. It was necessary to look out for the dimes, she honght. (Applause.) Mrs. BURLBIGH desired to know how members ‘were to pay their fees ? Mrs, LIVERMORE replied that the Treasurer, Mrs, George ‘Homan (a prepossessing blonde laay), Swould be at the foot of the stage to receive the Mrs. Howe then read a dry paper on the ques- ftion of improvement in woman's Tondition, ‘aud in ‘Fegara to the formation of women's clubs in cities, owns and Villages. She spoke of the neediess ex- ice Of the femaie sex, and deciared that woman who had wo much on her back was to have nothing in her pocket and less tn t heart. In the formation of women’s clubs Peligious and on. worth and not scocial rank or wealth nu considered. Mra, Howe was applan tthe conclusion of her address. A recess was then taken to enable members to thetr dues and get a luncheon, and after recess Caroline Fairflela Corbin, of Evanston, Ill. feed @ paper entitied “Enlightened Motherhood,” hich was listened to with much attention.

Returning to Willard’s Hotel the delegates were individuatly introduced to Governor Snep- herd im the east parlor, and social conversation followed previous to their entering the dining room, Here the Governor at the head of the hall cailed on the pastor of his church, Rev. Dr. Mitchell, to offer a blessing, after which all partook of a bountiful aud elegant collation, spread on two tables running paraidel and almost the entire length of the room. At the close of the entertain- "ment Governor Shepherd arose and said:— I am honored, gentlemen, by your presence as my guests today. Although from want of time the enter- tainment offered you may not be gommensurate with the occasion, your Welcome is none the Jess hearty and sincere. 'Your visit to the seat ot government, gentle- men, will long be remembered by our people, and if you will take with you as agreeable recollections of Washing- ton as you leave among us of yourselves we will be grat- fied indeed. We have welcomed you as leaders in the great movement for the regeneration of our race. We will part with you with wishes of God speed in the noble work which claims best energies of your great minds and noble hearts. Our regret is that your stay with usis so brief. Our joy is that, though brief your sojourn, you have inspired our people with new zeal In the interests of the Christian Church. Allow me to conclude with this sentiment, “the Evangelical Al- lance; may its results be equal to the grandeur of its conception and the nobleness of its ends.’ ‘This speech was applauded by the guests. Dr. Tirrany then said, the metropolitan branch of the Alliance desired to return thanks to tne Governor for mis kind reception of the delegates. It would give him great pleasure if time permitted to make @ longer response, He then called upon the Rev. Dr. , of London, DR. RIGGS SPERCH. Dr. Rrac said he felt it a great honor to be asked to re- spond, in behalf of the foreign delegates, to the senti ment ‘which had just been announced and which found an expression in every heart. There was No need to speak of the Alliance iteelf and the reception with which they had beenmet by the Governor and the people of this city, for the receptions which had been given to them, trom ‘first to Inst, transcended their expectations. He had met many of the eminent public Tep orihis country and leading Curistian gentlemen ani had been generously received by them, and he must say the reception was simply magnifi- cent; not magnificent in the matter of Organization, but in the richness of spontaneous feeling, which expressed itself through every possible channel, whether in the family, on the cars or by the wayside, There was such an abundance of kindness, courtesy and generosity that none of them could have anticipated its extent, ie expressed co Governor Shep. herd and the citizens of the Disiric', in behalf of his own country and other countries here represented, their sense of the fraternal fellowship with which trey had been welcomed to their shores and their hearts, ‘There was in the heart of American society a. feeling of sym- pathy towards the people of the ol mother land, he would carry back with hi i wen pant A ith him w England reminiscences 0 with. hit throu the Evangelical Allan mutual sympathy ‘9 countries would become - ing Into closer ties of personal and national irtendentp. This speech was received with repeated }- sions of applause and cries of “Hear, hea neti Rev. Dr. Arnot, of Belgium; Bishop Simpson, and the Dean of Canterbury also made short speeches. Three cheers were given for the Governor, who returned thanks for the kind fecling thus ex- pressed, and called upon Mr. Harrington, Secreta of the District of Col lumbia, to respond, which he aid, A vote of thanks was then proposed and a to for the handsome and generous manner in which the Gelegates had been entertained.

The Cashier of the State Treasury a Defaulter. $300,000 PURLOINED. Arrest of Charles H. the Cashie: Phelps, HOW HE MANIPULATED THE BOOKS, Cool Propositions by the Criminal. ALBANY, Oct. 15, 1873. Charles H. Phelps, cashier in the State ‘Treasury Department, was arrested in Jersey City Tuesday and brought here last night at midnight, charged with robbing the State Treasury of an amount of money supposed to reach $300,000. Under an ar- rangement made by the Comptroller and Treasu- rer the State deposits are divided between ‘ive or six of the banks of this city. A few days since tne State Treasurer discovered that the cashier was making larger deposits in one of these banks than it was entitled to, and at once instituted an ex- amination of his accounts, but without suspecting that any of the funds of the State had been embez- sled, the most entire confidence being placed in the cashier by every one, and the system of checks in the Comptroller's office being deemed AN ABSOLUTE SECURITY AGAINST FRAUD, For years it has been the custom for the banks to send to the Comptrolier’s office a duplicate of the Treasurer’s bank book upon the first day of each month. ‘These books passed through the hands of the general bookkeeper, Mr. George Seeley. The banks complaining of the labor involved, and Mr. Phelps giving assurance that it was entirely un- necessary, Mr. Seeley dropped the duplicate set without the Knowledge of either the Comptroller or Treasurer. This left but one set of books to be manipulated. The next step was to induce the ‘general bookkeeper to accept in some instances the statement of the cashier of the balance in some one of the banks without producing the bank books. This was successfully accomplished during the last month, and thus Mr. Phelps escaped detection for very short time. He charged a large sum to the Mechanics and Farmers’ Bank, which iis own stute- ment showed it did not have, and had Mr. Seeley made the usual and proper examination the bogus entry would then have been discovered. Having shown how Mr. Phelps succeeded In con- cealing his embezziements for @ brief period, it remains to show HOW HE GOT THE MONEY. It appears that he obtained the cash upon some of the dralts remitted to him by the county treasurers. These drafts could not legally be cashed without the endorsement of the Treasurer or of his deputy, and any bank taking taese wrafts upon the en- dorsement of the castier only is liable, and will be compelled to refund ‘to the State. The Treasurer is not yet able to say through what banks tie draits have passed, nor what endorsements they bear, From examinations thus far made the ‘Treas- urer is of the opinion that the embezzlement may approximate $300,000, but THE STATE CANNOT BE THE LOSER, The Treasurer began his examination by request- ing the various banks of deposit to furnish him with statements of their accounts, This threw Phelps into despair, for he Knew that the examina- tion of these statements wouid reveal his opera- tions, He therelore fled from the State, and wrote @ note to the ‘ireasurer admitting that nis accounts Were not entirely correct. Mr. Raines iollowed him to Jersey City, and in an interview which took place last Friday Mr. Phelps claimed that if allowed his liberty two or three months he could refund the entire amount. He said he had used the money in speculations in New York city, but not in stocks, and would not say definitely to what purpose he had applied it. He also admitted that HE HAD ACCOMPLICES, but would not give their names. He claimed that the money was still largely under his control, and that he would soon be able to refund say $100,000 of - the amount. He desired to be left alone that he might be tree to ob- tain and restore the money, and propositions were also made from legu! sources to adjust the matter on some basis of compromise. The Treasurer, how- ever, would not assent to any arrangement wigch | either settled the offence or permitted the offender to remain at large. He put a detective upon tie track of Phelps, obtained the necessary papers from Governor Dix and had Phelps arrested in Jer- sey City and brought here jast night. Phelps in Court=The Latest Develop- ments in the Case. ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 15, 1873. Charles H. Phelps, gasmier mm the State Treas- urer’s office, was arraigned in the police court this afternoon on a charge of stealing a dra(t or bili of exchange from the Treasurer’s office to the amount of-$15,000, . He said that his counsel, Judge Birdseye and A. Chapman, of New York, were not present, and requested a postponement until to- morrow afternoon of the examination, which was granted. It is feared the amount embezzled will exceed $300,000. The Evening Journal says it appears that at the examination about the first of September Pheips stated the balance in the Mechanics and Farmers’ Bank at $200,000 larger than it really was, The books of the other banks were examined, but whether Phelps produced the book of this bank or upon the plea that it was-+ not written up, or some other pretext, induced the general bookkeeper to accept his statement of tue bal- ance is not absolutely clear. The book itself has not been seen since Phelps’ disappearance about the Ist of October, and cannot be found, In the latter part of September a question was raised as to the transfer of funds from one bank to another, the consent of the Comptroller being necessary. HE SECURED A STATEMENT OF THE BALANCES from the banks themselv nd the Treasurer did the same thing. The statement led to an exami- nation and to the disclosures which have been Phelps bas not made known the names of the parties with whom he operated in his specu- lations, and itis not fully known what banks cashed the drafts or whose endorsement they bear. One or two of them which have been traced are found to be made payable to the order of an individual who is known to the cashier of a New York banking liouse, The cashiers of the Treasurer's oflice have usually had asmali side account in the checking bank, which was mainly used for the convenience of employés of the State who might desire to anticipate a part of their monthiy pay. The cashier would draw small checks for the various amounts di sired, and make 1% good by the deposit of State checks at the end of the month. Mr. Phelps had such an account as his predecessors had, but it seems to have been larger than was generally the case, aggregating some $13,000 since about tle ist of Septemver, It does not, however, expiain the converting of the dratta, which, a8 already stated, appears to have been tnanaged m New York, THE DEFAULTING CASTER had the entire confidence of ail the officers, He is about forty-five years of age and caine from Al- bion, Orieans County, Where his parents still re- side, He long beld ® position of iinancial trust under the Adams £xpress Company, in Georgia and Virginia, Gnd was appointed ‘upon strong recommendations. He was # ian of inexpensive habits, and no part of the imoney embegzied was devoted to personal expenditures. There was nothing about him to excite mistrust, At the suggestion of Governor ;Dix and upon the request of ‘Treasurer Rainca o full | investigation of the atfuirs of the ofce will be made, under the direction of the Attorney General, ‘The Treasurer has retained Henry P, Selden and Samuel Hard. Phelps was brought before the Governor tis aiternoon and thence taken before Justice McNamara and commitved. The Governor desired to make @ personal examination of the culprit, but since his arrest le bas refused to make any communication until his counsel, Judge birds- eye aud others, appear from New York, ANOTHER VIEW OF THE AFFAIR. The Evening Times has the following account of how the defalcation was detected :— On Saturday, September 25, the first step was taken by Deputy Comptroiler Gallien which resulted in the dis- govery of the iraud. On that day Mr. Phelps presen hita, inthe absence of Comptroller Hopkins, tranaer checks amounting to $175 00) which he requested Mr 75,00, which he Gallien to countersign.

Comp- troller Hopkins went into Mr. Raines’ office and ac- quainted him with that fact, and then the balances tn Phelps’ books and in’ the’ bank's books were com- jared and the fraud discovered. Phelps had charged the Banks with Inrver balances than they had, and by: this means was enabled cover his fraud and make his trial balances come out right. On Friday, the 3d ot October, Phelps left his oftice and did not again return, 4s, doutitless, matters were becoming unpleasantly warn, Even after Mr. Gallien had discovered that something was wrong Phelps’ good character staved inquiry off; for on Mr. Gallien showing Mr. Raines a copy of bis fig- ures the Treasurer was so impressed with the unim- peachable character ot Mr, Phelps that he either omitted ‘or neglected to investigate the books.
