Notwlthgtatnl--tec tne Inclemency of the weather, National Hall, ikfMer, wan well filled last evening by an Inteill tfnt andk-noe. The ocolon was the delivery of s lectnre by the Hon. James Pollock, of this city, on the intellectual development of mankind as por eraved by history. The object of the lecture waa a rely charitable one, and waa Riven nnrtcr the aus fWt of 1'oBt Wlldlc, Grand Army of the Rcpsbllc, of Vlieflter. CAt 8 o'clock pr. Theodore a Chrlstman came for ward and said that, at tho refluent of the committee, ae would Introduce Colonel Ilosbysholl, the Urand Commander of the Orand Army In this Btate, who Aad been requested to Introduce to the audience the Ustlniruii-hed lecturer. Colonel Bosbyshell was re celved with applause. The frentlcmnn prefaced his introanctlon with a few remarks, In which he said that the order under whose ausplceg this lecturo waa being given was accused of being a political ne. lie would assure his hearers that it had Botblng to do with politics, but had far nobler aspi rations. It has for Its mainspring of action the JlcaveB-born virtue of charity, and hopes, by that spirit of fraternity that ever clings about companions in arms, to aid. Instruct, and educate Its comrades nd comrades' families. In continuing, the speaker ald that the order delighted to honor the men who aad stood by the soldiers In the dark days of the war, and at the solicitation of Post Wlldle, ho took f-reat pleasure In Introducing tho lion. .lames Pol Jock, a man who gave his oldest son to save tho nation's unity, and who himself was one of the few Mien in onice who used iiib poxuion to am s-imn-rs into places. The speaker was loudly applauded at the close or nis remarks. . . Ex-Governor Pollock, In opening, remarked that. u a Inc.Lnrnr. tin ceriiiinlv felt out of nlHCe. He hail been invited to deliver a lecture, but it was a matter entirely out of his line; yet he was glad to uppear Deforest) tine an audience, mm whkmii-i mimv no was about to say could be considered as a lecture or mot. he felt honored at being called upon, tie was pleased to know that on this occasion he was not in the service of any political organization, for, as you save heard, the (irand Army is not a political organi sation, unless you declare that the brave fellows who stood the shock of buttle and who gave their blood for the perpetuation of the nation were politi cians.' He was always glad to lend his services In behalf of charity, for it, like the bright sun of a glo rious May morning, gnus our pains tnrougn uie anil reflects bright shadows wherever It exists. Tho speaker continued his remarks by saying that "Man liood" was the prime element of his discourse. He would treat man as he found him, as he affected society, but more particularly as he was represented In the American citizen. In turn the speaker took op man as he was found In different ages and coun tries from the hour Adam had first appeared upon the earth, and glowingly pictured the different epochs which marked the march of Intellect and Christianity and their influences on the human family. The speaker had been called a Scotch Irishman, and he never denied it; but for ull that he was an American. He argued that we ail sprang from the Latin or Anglo-Saxon race, and yet the Intellectual development as displayed in onr Government made us all peculiar and above all Americans. France might boast of her Government, do also England, Russia, and Austria, but none or the people of those countries were free ; all were sub servient to the Slate ; here the people were supreme' and guided the government or the btate by their own Iree will. In ancient times it was a great thing to He a Roman. Paul claimed to be a Roman citizen; a Roman citizen held a position which commanded the admiration and respect of all people, and yet, to day the American citizen held a higher position than a resident of Rome ever did, because here wo rule ; there they were ruled ; everything was subject to the State; the people were but subjects. In closing his remarks the lecturer spoke feelingly of our struggles as a nation, and paid u glowing ttiimte to the youths if the present day, on whom in a few short years would devolve the cares and responsibilities of taking eare of the destinies of a great country and a great Jcople He was loudly applauded at the close of his discourse, and after a few woll-choscn remarks.

President Robert Tur in the absence of the regnlar secretary, from til yriirlSnSe.01 unty, Sinii.i 5 W2rk of the8"'etyis not yet quite ac. ,,cij in ucau mil ine demon still lives in the spirit of caste. The frecdmon were nomlnnlly free, but yet had to bear the scorn and contempt of the community. The duty of the so ciety will not be accomplished until that great privi lege, tho ballot, is given to the black man. The platform was declared free, as it has always been and an Invitation was extended to all who niav fe.l interested to address the meeting. wayieu Mrs. Lncrotla Mott spoke of tho great causes of thankfulness and congratulation for tho events of the past year. The fifteenth amendment Is very nearly passed. The prejudice against tho colored man will pass awuy as his rights are n-Rngnitsed A universal gathering to give evidence tlmt the glory Ingtms imt been in vain was spoken of, either in New lork, I hiludelphla, or wherever it may be most convenient. J Mr. Robert Purvis thought It not right to Join the hallelujah until rainy out of the woods. Mr. Charles C. Burleigh spoke or the dlfllculty with which the enfranchisement of the freedmen In the former slave States was accomplished. The colored man is slow to recognize any show of liberal mum un tin; pun, oi uie wnite man. This was to bo expected, when we tuke Into account tho spirit with which the colored man has been treated for ages 1 he great prejudice against color will speedily dlo out, though hardly to be expected in the present generation. But a generation Is a short time In the history of n nation, and a shorter time in the history ! . a rtt!' . J h(r coluru(1 man will yet stand sldt by side with his white brother, on a platform fur hlghr than his white brother could have atuinod by his own exertions. J Mips Slnry Grew, the Corresponding Secretary, mild she hoped this would be the last annual meet ing or the society that it would lie neccs.sary to call. She tluinked God that the work was approaching consummation, it is no more the day of mob law. Lynch inw, and statute law. They no more had to attend anti-slavery meetings in the evening by the light of fieir burning houses. The following committees were appointed : On Resolutions Mary Grew, Joseph Post.

Mr. Burleigh was announced to make a formal address at the hull, Kleventh and Wood streets (formerly Stockton's Church), this evening. All were cordially invited to attend, whether upproving the objects of the meeting or not. The Kxecutive Committee gave a verbal report of the doings of the past year. The committee came together on one afternoon In each month for the purpose of doing what they could to further the passage or the fifteenth amendment, on tho supposition that when that is passed the work Is done. The frccdmcn's schools will not be necessary when the ballot is universal. Give tho rreedmun a vote and he will assess the property of the South, and the money thus raised will pay for the maintenance of the schools. The United States pow upholds the rights of tlie frecdman at very (Treat expense by, aud not without the use of, the bullet. The committee have published some pam phlets and helped the eirorw of auti-slavery publlcu tiops. The Anti-Stai'erii StantUird'tt circulation lias bevn Increased by their efforts. lien the fifteenth amendment' is passed, the socief v expects to hold a jubilee somewhere. Mr. Moiiarty, President of the Irish Republican Association, thought that other societies, us well as that or Philadelphia, ought to have part or the credit for the good reception the amendment has had. The Irish Republican Association was one of these. The following resolutions were offered li'mhtl. That ia the Apparent iildit?6ron6e Cf the Fede ral Government towards toe cundition of the colored race ill the South, und the porsistent and formidable oppros hioii exerciaod towards them by the white WudoIh. we see lumentnblo evidences of tho neod of oonstunt viirilunce on the pait of nil the triends of freelom lirMilctil, .

Mr. Kilgore spoke of work which had yet to be done by the society, no said the work would not be done in a few months, and then to be wound up by a grand Jollification. There are other kinds of slavery in tne unitea states uesmo tnat oi lour mil lions oi colored men. The President stated that the object of She society was specific, and did not include other kinds. Mr. Klllgorcsald that the Democratic party was a great hindrance to the work, but he feared more from the aristocratic Republicans than the hard working Democrats. After the fifteenth amendment is passed, tne country win soon need a sixteentn. Funds were asked for to send a copy of the itid' Btavfry Standard to every member of Congress for one year. Mr. Kinieign saiu mat it wouiu oe untrue to tne contract which they had entered into with their friends in tho beginning to make other objects the work of the society than that for which they had first been loined togetner. utner oojects nave oecn incidentally connected with the society, as woman's sum-age. -' ' . .... Mrs. JJiereua moil asKeu u luarntmo imi uui oe accounted a siiecles of slavery, Inasmuch as the luw regarded the wife as the property of tho husband. Mr. Burleigh thought not, oecause no man is allowed to pluce his wife upon the block and sell her to another husbund. He thought that other societies could be formed from the same material when this society is broken up, for kindred objects, which would ne ocner inau cuuugiug me uuu ui uie pre sent organization. Dr. Child remarked that if the members of tho Anti-Slavery Society were drugged Into a contest for Woman's Rights or somo other reform movement, they would be like drafted men, not volunteers, and would be worthless. But the spirit of humanity which had been working in their minds would soon tartnir recruits from nmny who are certuinly in terested, to the ranks of any society which would be formed for any sucn purpose. Mr. Kilgore thought that the breaking up of the organization and present working machinery would be a great loss, which it would tuke some time to repair. On motion the meeting adjourned to this afternoon at S o'uiock. Maiktaikiku a Ni'Issanck Yesterday consider able excitement was occasioned in the central por tion of the Twentieth ward by the appuarance or a grizzly and a black bear in the streets.

The Charges Against the Naval Pay masters in a Great Degree Un- founded Paymaster Marcy , the Principal De faulter. French and SpaUih in the Navy This Afternoon's Quota tions by Cable. FROM TVdSHUVaTOJl . Dental oi the Chnre .Made AKainut the Naval Pay Miiinii-rs. Dmpatch to The Evenhtg Telegraph. W'AsniMiTOK, Nov. 17. The statement tele graphed that a number of naval paymast ers have been found defaulters Is a most outrageous falsehood ou that class or gentlemen In the navy. The state ment Is one part or a systematlo attack about to lie commenced on tho stall' oitlcers or the navy by some persons high In naval authority, with a view to affect Congress, ir the question of the rights of the line ana stuff otllcers comes bcrore It for somo legislative action. The only foundation for any such charge Is that, a paymaster on tho Pacific coast was accused or having UBed about one hundred thousand dollars of Government money, imt us his accounts were not In the process of settlement, nothing definite can be ascertained. Upon being charged with the use of this money the paymaster promptly put in deposit, to the credit of tho Government, $101,000, and de manded an Investigation. Paymaster Cahoon has lately been swindled out of a few thousand dollars, and has turned over pro property to his bondsmen to cover the amount. Mr. Cahoon Is very old and reeble, and should be re lieved from the service. Itltiiallnttc Troubles Afrnln. A ritualistic war has commenced here between the congregation and rector or St. John's Church, onn of the oldest and most fashionable .Episcopal churches In the city. Paymaster Marcy'a Pefalcal Ions. Sjecial Despatch to The Koening Telegraph. Washington, Nov. 17. The published statements alKiut navy paymasters being defaulters are greatly exaggerated. Paymaster Marcy, who was on the Paclilcooasr, Is a defaulter to the tune of one hun dred and forty thousand dollars, and not four hun dred thousand dollars, as announced in the despatch yesterday. Other paymasters who had been accused or being short In their accounts, It is thought will come out all right. These Irregularities arise out of the loose manner in which the business In the Navy Dupartment was conducted under Johnson's admin istration. The Census Committee.

A List of the New York Custom House Con- Mpiralora. The N. Y. Tribune of this morning says : to many Indefinite and unauthorized statements have been made concerning the drawback frauds ana those Implicated in them that a list of the con spirators, carefully prepared lrora tho official records, may be of value to the public. The Interest awakened by the recent developments centres mainly In tlie cuse or Deputy Collector Samuel T. Blatchrord, not only on account of the weight of evidence against him and or his high social and orticiul standing, but also by reason of the fact thut ho bus so eil'ectually concealed himself thut the two detectives who have held, since last week, the warrant ror his arrest, have not lieen able to find him. The United States District Attorney, however, discredits the rumors t imt Biatchl'ord has tied to Canada, and is confident thut he was seeu in this city last Saturday evening, and thut he is still here. District Attorney Pierrepont Intends to proceed ugainst all the conspi rators, the Deputy Collector included, to tlie full ex tent of the law. "On a pur with lilutchford, so far as criminal misuse or official position is concerned, ac cording to testimony thus fur elicited, stands Frauds A. Howard, who was a clerk in the Treasury De partment at Washington wheu the principal frauds were committed, ana Is now a banker in Wall street. He has been indicted for his offenses, and Is under i.'o.ouo ball. Charles .1. Theriott, who suc ceeded Blatchrord as chief clerk of the Drawback Bureau In the Ciistom-Honse, is also Indicted aud under Jlo.ouu bail, while llnsro Soniers, who preceded Blatchford in the same position, and is said to have been the Hint oiUciul connected with these f rands, has since died Next in culpability to these dis honest otllcers should be placed the three Cahlweils. who made out the fraudulent claims and pocketed two-fifths of tile proceeds. James Caldwell U under 110,000 bull, but John S. and Robert 11. have lied to Canada. Next to the faldwells come William H. Whiiuster, twice Inalcted, under fjo.ooo bail, and flying' from a third warrant ; James T. Well wood . and C B. Young, hiding from arrest ; Charles H. Squires, H- A. Dickinson, George W. Green, aud AlexanderGrant, Jr., indicted and under tlO.ooo hail; Konu'vn Muillvran and L. L. i.aldlaw, under hull In the same amount ; .Julius II. Molt, in dicted and fled to California ; Win. II. Frear, Indicted and escaped to Europe : W" Korn, indicted and under 110,000 bail, and Charles II. Wilson, both or whom have turned State's evidence. There are several others vhoe ruses are under Investigation, but the evidence ugaiutt them is iXit enough to warrant their arrest or the publication of their names. PHILADELPHIA STOCK EXCHANGE SALES.
