RECONSTRUCTION.
Virginia Ilaconstra t,tm Convention.
Kicbmopd, Dec. 9.--T' proceedings in Con
vention were of mark a interest to-day. As
toon as It was called to rwrteT, Governor Bmythc,
of Kew Hampshire, ar A kvernor Pierpont, of
this State, appeared o mm. the floor, accompanied
by their wives and rri ends. The Convention
received the distinfrr .hOied visitors standing and
with perfect decoru , Governor Pierpont first
made a few comni' swrflace remarks, which were
received quietly. "Governor Smythe, being re
quested by the F.fresident, then arose, and in a
very modest way fipoke for a few minutes.
His remarks w we 'listened to with the .greatest
attention, eepec aify fey the conservative side of
the house. His audience was certainly a very
intelligent one,, tor the lobbies were filled with
some oi our jest white oitizens. and the gal
leries preseut fd a respectable array of people.
1 he burden Cjf bis speech was the comparison
of the supei.-iority of the fertile fields of Vir
ginia with tjhe torllo, cold, and barren lands
and climate of his own State, ending by predict
ing for us. tflorious future, agriculturally,
mintrally, ipolitioally, commercially, and
socially. Tire 'Governor's spesoh ended, th
dis'taguifhed visitors signlfled their desire to
retire. l.'ne -gavel of the President called the
members-to their feet, and the two Governors
and thel r wives passed down the main aisle and
into the street.
The intire business of the Convention was re
lative to the pay of the oflicers and members.
It res sited, alter much opposition, injfixing the
perldiem at $8, and the mileaee of members of
General Assembly. Liberal pay was given to
the officers. The' chairman of the Finance Com
mittee was happy to state that the Legislature
had mde abundant provisions in its budget for
the expenses of the Conveutlon, and no addi
tional tax would have to be levied. To-morrow
the oath question will be brought up and it will
be promptly decided. The opinion of the caucus
held to-night is that no oath can be required of
sovereigns. The deci?ion is that neither the test
oath nor any other qualification save that of a
vote is necessary.
An article will be enerafted on the Constitu
tion that suffrage shall be universal until 1870.
after which iio man arriving at the age of
twerrty-one years shall be allowed to vote unless
he xan read and writs his own name. The
spirit of the Convention is liberal and highly
conservative. .as the majority are deeply In
terested in the piosperity of Virginia, they will
make a Conttitution which will restore peace
and confidence to the Btate and insure our
speedy reorganization. To morrow the Masonic
Temple will be inaugurated by laying the cor
ner stone. It will be a grand a (lair. Next day
the Conservative Convention will meet to do

A Het'j,r and Danghter round Dead Ia
; Bei ia Broeklj-n- A Myeterleue Affair
--Arrest of a Prnf Clerk.
: Ahont fonr months aeo. Mrs. Elizabeth FaII,
About Xorty years of age, and her daughter
Jenny, eleven years old, took apartment at No.
307 Atlantic street, Brooklyn, where they were
found deed in bed yesterday morning at 8
o'clock. The rooms were comfortably furnished,
and Mrs. Fall seemed to have sulbclent money
lor the support of herself and daughter. Before
coming to Brooklyn sne nan siureu buuib imur
lure with a drag clerk named Joel D.Price, e,,n.
ployed at a More in Whitehall street, near. Bat
tery place, New York.
After Mre. Fall came to No. 307 Atlantic street,
Mr. Price visited her Jteqtrently, and is said to
have'occaslonally passed the night in her room.
Yesterday morning peddler of kindling-wood
called, as usual, to furnish wood, and found Mrs.
Fall and daughter in bed, asleep, as he sup
posed, and so he -did not disturb them, but men
tioned to other inmates of the house, when be
left, that they were asleep. One of the tenants
Immediately went to the room, and found mother
trnd daughter closely locked in each other's
rms, dead. Price called at the house Sunday
night. The girl said to a neighbor at 8 o'clock
the same evening that she was going to bed,
alter which time nothing was seen or heard of
Mrs. Fall and Jenny until found dead, and
nothingol Price.
Coroner Lynch took charge of the bodies, and
removed them to the dead-houne. At noon yes
terday Mr. Price was arrested at his store in
New Yoik, and taken to the Forty-first PreciDct
Station House. He manifested considerable
surprif e at being arrested, but made no opposi
tion. He gave his name 89 Joel D. Price; is an
American. 36 years of age, and stated he knew
nothing anout the matter. Before the Coroner
lie stated that he became acquainted with Mrs.
Fall about three year ago, when she lived at
No. 45 Whitehall street, Mew York. He had
been verv ill at his store, and she was called iu
to nurse him by a clerk in the same store who
was worn out takitig care or him. A trial for
divorce between him and bis wife is and was
at that time pending; Mrs. Price reported that
ber husband had committed adultery with Mrs.
Fall, and he had not denied it, because she
was the "only mainstay in denying the
charge." From Whitehall street Mrs. Fall went
to No. 8 Broadway, then to East Broadway, and
then to No. 807 Atlantlo street, Brooklyn; he
had been living at No. 33 Court Btrect, where he
stored her goods last summer when she went to
Europe; she waa a widow; when she lived in
East Broadway she sent his meals to him; she
worked for a living; he had been in the habit of
calling on her every day; Ion Sunday night he
called on her about 7 o'clock and remained until
11: she was feeble and depressed about her little
boy in England and sick; she said she wanted to
go out; she sent her little girl out on an
errand ; then the three went to New York; when
they came back she complained of belug weak
and took his ami; at borne she insisted
on his taking a glaes of, ale from a bottle brought
from the cupboard; they had supper .tea
steak,' and bread; he then felt sleepy, and laid
down on the sofa: she sat down beside him:
she ashed him if he felt more sleepy; he told
ber yes; she said, "supposing something should
happen to him;" he told her she was despond
ing as he Wi-s three years ago, and he wished
to cheer her; she said she was good for nothing;
didn't know how her boy was; her friends had
sent her no money lately; he felt very stupid
about twenty minutes after drinking the ale;
she did not wank him to go home, hat he
inoneoi it time to go; wtien going down ttie
stairs he felt weak, and was obliged to keep
hold of the banisters; it was 12 o'clock when
he went to bed, and he did not wake up till
& In the morning; when -they reached
home from New York he noticed a man dressed
in dark clothes and wearing a slouched hat
standing at the door: he said to them. "Ob,
I've made a mistake," and went off; Mrs. Fall
could not find the key UBder the mat where she
had left it: the man then passed back and
went up stairs; Mrs. Fall then looked again for
the key and fonnd it; she said she did not know
the man, and had never seen him; when the
man went up stairs he said "it is very dark;"
when in her room Price heard somebody comiug
stealthily down stairs. This in the substance of
the prisoner's statement.
The post-mortem examination showed ' no
mark of violence on the bodies, though they
were ilipbtly discolored, and the hands were
clenched tightly, as in deaths from convulsions.

Female Suffrage Add reaees by Mre. Cady
ntanton. MUe Satan B. Antbony, and
George Francle Train.
Boston, Dec. 9. It is evident that the com
munity here is not so vitally interested in the
question of woman suffrage as in that of negro
enfranchisement, and it is for this reason that
the audience to hear George . Francis Train,
Elizabeth Cady btanton, and Susan B. Anthony
f ailed to more than half fill the Music Hall this
evening. Train, who did mott of the talking,
was unusually singular and particularly re
markable for keeping as fur fioui allusion to the
purpose of the meeting as possible. . .
After Elviug a pretty full biography of him
self, he did, however, abuse Greeley, Beecher,
Phillips, Grrrison, Jioss, and. Pomeroy, for de
serting the cause of woman when it most
.needed supoort. He was followed by Mrs. Stan
ton, who also charged these-same men with
acting the part of traitors to their cause, being
particularly severe upon Mr. Greeley tor pre
hfntinir what she termed his 'infamous report"
in the late Constitutional Convention In Albany,
and for also expressing the opinion that negro
Kuffragels more important now than suttraKe
for woman. She was also down on the whole
Republican party for Us treachery, and very
eloquent in her terms of praise of the Demo
crats tor their efforts in behalf of the oppressed
women.
Anthony followed, after half an hour's intro
duction by Train, and made a very concise and
forcible appeal in behalf, of the right of suf
frage for her sex. Train also spoke again, his
remarks bfli-g confined chiefly to persoual re
miniscences., denunciations of Minister Adams
for allowing the late Fenian executions without
protect, and abuse of the Bostou newspapers for
nel &U1lnhnd sympathizing in this movement in
bektif of women.

CHARLES DICKENS.
1 Ilia Flrat Heading In V tX9 York.
There was a ercat crowd M( night In Stein
way Hall. At first, lud u dld not ieem tm.
probable that every pxmv. present would be, as
Mlcawber iomer'wte remarks, "crushed out of
his original f,orm the accumulative force of
a comblruoa 0f circumstances." In time,
howert after same surging and seething, the
hman sea settled into calm. So settled, it
presented a beautiful and touching spectacle.
The heart, the intellect, the wit, the sensibility,
the beauty, the wealth, the industrial power of
the foremost of American cities were all repre
sented in that vast assembly were all united
by a common impulse In doing homage ti
man of true and beneficent geuius. To sec and
to feel this was to be deeply and inexpres
sibly thrilled was to realize, with gladness
and gratitude, the profound devotion of true
hearted men and women to a great natural
guide and leader. An immense chord of feeling
has been touched and sounded by Charles
Dickens. In thirty years of literary life years
of self-imposed, unremitting, scrupulous toil,
animated by that noblest of all motives, the
desire to augment the happiness of mankind
he has created Immortal works of art, has
peopled literature with a vast variety of charac
ters, has interpreted human nature and the
passing age, has struck down great social
abuses, has taught the sacred lesson of charity,
has comforted the poor, has stretched out hands
of loving pity to the outcast and wretched,
has supplied a never-failing source of innocent
aud happy lauehter, has stimulated the high
poetic instincts of our race, and has in every
way inculcated sweet, pure, and noble ideas of
character and of conduct. Thus laboring, he
has won in equal measure the homage and the
love of his generation. Something of this affec
tionate feeling was heartily expressed by his
audience last night; nor in all that great throng
was there a single mind unconscious of the pri
vilege it CDjoyed in being able, even so partially,
to thank Charles Dickens for all the happiness
be has given to the world. It is a better world
because of him. The present is happier for his
sake, and the future will brighten at the coming
of his geniu a.
In the readings that Mr. Dickens gave last
niht the character of that genius was fully
and admirably denoted. The key-note of all
his writings is sounded in the "Christmas
Carol" and the "Pickwick Papers." Humanity
and humor blend in that note, and make an
exquisite music. Other of his works. It is true,
express more amply, and in mora minute and
elaborate detail, the scope of the writer's mind,
the vigor and wealth of his imagination, the
wondeitol thoroughness of his analysis of
nature, the keenness of his Intuitions, ttie depth
of his pathos, the remarkable perception that
he has of the sombre and tragical aspects of
human experience, and the rich resources of his
eloquent style. There are single passages in
David Copperfleld," in "Martin Chuzalewit,"
in Tho Old Curiosity Shop," and in that
strong and splendid tragic creation. "A Tale of
Two Cities," to which the critic will naturally
and necessarily recur, in forming a true esti
mate of this extraordinary man. There is no
written storm like the storm in which Steerlorth
goes down to death. There is no horror more
ghastly than the f ace of Jonas Chuzzlewit in the
wood. There is no pathos more heart-breakincr
than that which enwraps the aged mourner at
Nelly's grave. There is no emblem of self
sacrifice more vivid or more sublime than the
figure of Sydney Carton at the guillotine. The
assured power of maturity is palpable in all
these scenes and persons. They express a deep
heart that has suffered deeply, aud a great miud
in uncurbed action. Yet, to the acute thinker,
the characteristic quality of that heart and mind
are evident enough in the "Christmas Carol"
and the "Pickwick Papers." Not humanity and
humor alone; but delicate inventive skill the
fine talent of the ariUt an airy and delightful
fancy, a true comprehension of character and
of social relations, a thorough, acquaintance and
sympathy with common joys and common sor
rows, and, above all, the clear, calm, noble
purpose to inculcate the religion of love. The
geniality of the Christmas aeason has never
been so eutlrely uttered as U is in this little
work. The great fires roar in its pages, and
blight eyes fnnrkle, and merry bells ring, and
sunl ght and starlight and joy wrap it round
about - in a delicious atmosphere of honest,
ardent goodness. There is one touch of pathos
in it which no heart can resUt. It is where poor
Bob Cratchit speaks of Tiny Tim's grave. You
may read it a thousand times, but yon can
never lead it without a mist in the eyes. , "it
would have done you good to sec how green a
?laoe it is," Bob says; "but you'll eee it often,
promised him that I would walk there on a
Sunday.' My little, little child I Mv little
child 1" i There U another touch a touch of
thought which expresses the great author's
faith, and is, indeed, the concentrated spirit of
ail his teacnings: "ages ot incessant labor by
immortal creatures ior tnis eartn must pass into
eternity before the good of wbh-h it is suscepti
ble is all developed. ...Any Christian spirit
-working kindly in its little sphere, whatever it
may be, will find its mortal life too short tor its
vast rueans ot nsetttlncsc." The author who
teaclus thns assuredly does not work in vain.
It 1b another article of his faith, too, that
"there is nothing in the world so irresistibly
contagious as lauebter and good hum or.-" and
that he bbs proved by the story of "Pickwick."
With both these doctrines he won abundant
sympathy last night. Not alone the musio oi
nis tones, out tue oeeper voice oi nis genius,
found an echo m everp heart.
Mr. Dickens is not only an excellent reader.
but a greatly gifted actor. To read bis works
is to eee that he possesses iu anemineutde-
giee the dramatic instinct. To hear him read
is to see that he also possesses, in almost equal
fullness, the dramatic faculty, fa reading as
well as writiug he enters into every character
mat ne creates, me personality, ior tne time,
is extinct. Now he is Scrooge, presently he Is
Mr. Fizziwig, anon he is Bob Cr.ttchit, and
by-aud-by he posses, with extraordinary versa
tility of mood, tbroueh the guises of Sergeant
Uuzluz, the ijiuie Judge, urs.uiuppins, Winkle
ine renowncu sportsman, aun uamuei welter.
The several personations are com Die te at all
points. This capacity of merging one's self into
character is, of course, the indi-pensable requi
site for good acting. To say that Mr. Dickens
has it is sufficiently to explain the continued
triumphs that be has achieved in reading his
own workp. It is needtul to add, however, that
he uses it like an artist. The chief feature in
his method is simplicity which imolies a ner-
fect knowledge of the effect to be produced and
a perfect control ot the means that are requisite
to produce it. The next leature is delicacy. In
the mellow and musical voice, in the tranquil
manner, in the unaffected gesture, iu the easy
suiting of the word to the action in all that the
man is and all that he does, this eentle refine
ment is conspicuous. Comurehendiuir. both
these features is reality. In the reading of last
night he seemed more the comedian than the
tragedian; but that ol this evening, which com
prises the "TemDest" chanter from "David Cod
pcrfkld," will urobahlv show him in another
light. However shown, be will be weicome.

COURT OF QUARTER BESSIONB-Judge BrfiW-
Ur. Tbls morning tne cue of Uano VS. Meeeer
came up. Thin fucc cftuned a large number ol people
to congregate Iu tne Court House, great Interest being
DJRnltt8ied to bear tbe details of tue case.
Mr. Brown, for the defendant,, asked the Court to
delay tbe prosecution for a day or two, on tbe ground
tbattiebad sickness la his lamlly, and had not bad
but five tour strep i r tbree tiigbui. lie bad no
legal ground, but ttirew himself upon the Indulgouoe
of the Court. He didn't do It lor the purpose ol delay
ing tbe ..rial, but lelt compelled by prostration to auk
for a delay.
Mr. Dwlgbt said he felt great delicacy In opposing
or resisting this application, but the rule of Court on
the matter Is very plain, and besides that, the prose
cutor In this ease baa tbe burthen of this cbarge
banging over btm, and has bad It lor ten days, aud
be has a right now to have it lilted from him. Tne
prosecution baa all its witnesses here, and is ready
for trial, and It was understood when the case was
last called tbat to-day was positively fixed for lie
trial. A continuance would cause great Inconve
nience. While I would be glad to extend all possible
ccurteny to Duy friend, 1 tnlnk tbat tbese reasons
combined show wby theoaae sbould goon.
Mr. Rrown said In reply, that the first reason urged
by tbe Assistant District Attorney, that "because the
burden ot proof waa upon Mr. Mann," was no reason
at all tbat the case should not be postponed for a day
or two, for he occupied In this case no different posi
tion from that of any other prosecutor. There are
a number of people tbat have applied to this Court
for trial, and they have been oollged to come here
more than once. It was tbe first time in his lite where
physical luablllty bad been assigned by counsel as a
ieason lor a postponement for a day or iwi (hat bad
been reiused. He urged that the case should be post
poned until to-morrow, or tbe day alter. He was free
to say tbat, without tbe Hon. Benjamin H. Brewster,
the case would not be pressed for trial. Mr. Brown
boptd tbat, nnder the circumstances of bis being very
unwell, that tbe Court would grant tbe application.
Judge Brewster said bis own personal Inclinations'
were for granting the postponement, for he had often
felt tbe lucouvenleuce of being forced to trial when
he was unwell, but tbe rule of Court was very strict,
and where a matter like this was thrown ueou .he
Court he bad nothing but the rule to guide him. He
was sorry tbat counsel could not agr-e as to wnat
was to be dune In the case. Tbe rule of the Court de
clnred that it wae not a suflicteut ground for a oon
timiauce. He was sorry that It is so declared.

standing precisely what ft ia berere we commence to
bring forward witnesses who will support It.
Mr. Dwlght tben read tbe bill of Indictment, charg
ing Mr. Meeser with libel, and the article published
In Ihe MundViv Mrrcury.
Tbat was tbe libel which the Commonwealth com
plains 6f In Ihe case. Nothing so libelous and scan
dalous had ever been published before la the city of
Philadelphia. It was not a libel against a private
cltiren. but a public officer, whose duty It Is to guard
tbe right of the cliisens. He asked the Jury to take
the facts of the case aa they will be preented to
them. Witnesses would be called upoa the stand who
would prove to tbem beyond all doubt, that tho per
son that Is meant In tbe article U William B. Maun.

his 0 hger in a bar-room fight, that he lost It loan luno
cent amusement.

Tuesday, Deo. lo. Jum7. .,,
The resolution 6ffered in Congress yesterday
by Mr, Hooper seems to ns a putting of the cart
before the hoi Be. That gentleman moved, in
ordt r that economy might be secured in the va
rious departments of Government,, that the
amount to be raised by taxation should not
annually exceed three hundred millions. By
this, he assumed,' economy could be secured.
If there was no money wherewith to meet de
mands, then the demands would not be made.
It seems to ns, however, that a much . more
direct way to accomplish this result would be to
arrange that the expenses sbould not exceed this
sum, then cut down the appropriations to meet
the reduction, aod pass a tax law sufficient to
secure it and nothing mote. Of what ad vantage
would it be to allow. the expenses to remain at
four hundred and .eighty millions, and let the
Income amount to but $300,000,000 r It would
merely involve us in an additional debt per
annum of one hundred and eighty millions, that
must be ultimately paid. Cutting down the esti
mates is a much more direct method than cut
ting down the ap propria lous.
The Sunk statement lor the week exhibit
no material alteration, but the general move
ment towards contraction still continues.
Whether or not the action of Congrets will tend
to retard all iurther movements in that direction
will be apparent by this time next wock. The
ttaiement shows:

The New York Ilera'd this morning says:
"There was an abundant supply of money
available for employment on the Stock Ex
change, and loans were made freely at seven
per cent., with a few exceptional transactions at
six to first-class houses. Discounts are still
made with great caution, and only the best
grade of commercial paper is in favor.
"The banks take it to a limited extent from
their customers at seven per cent., but on tbe
street it is rated at 710 per cent., while in-
fenor grades are very difficult of sale, owing to
the recent failures and the consequent distrust
of credits. A general, although very gradual,
improvement in trade Is, however, looked for
under the reassuring cnaracter or uontrreFBinnai
legislation, and with It the prevailing stringency
in the discount line will pats away."
