BECUMII3. The writer of this 413 def notice knew the lady well, and therefore desires the privilege of paying a slight tribute to her virtues and her memory. A purer woman, or one more un selfish, never breathed. She lived for her husband and her children. Their happiness was the great object of all her thoughts and actions. As a Christian, she was unpretending, but sincere—as a wife, she was fond and devoted—as a mother. she was tender and affectionate —and ea a friend, she was faithful and unwavering. 'There were few who knew her who did not beceme attacheAto her—for, in the language of her Physlcian, her character was one of gentleness, loveliness, sad truth. The members of the bereaved family have our heartwarm sympathies, white we feel assured, that . the lost to Earth is a gain to Heaven. M.

There was not even standing room for late corners and many persons could not gain admittance at all. "Fanchon" was well cast, but the rule' tunate absence of one of the principal actors— Mr. Robson—rather interfered with the unity and har mony of the programme. Mr. Bverham kindly under took the part at brief notice and gracefully supplied the omission as well as possible. Of Miss de Margue rittes's acting, singing and dancing in this spirited character we nave already expressed our opinion and we can add little to it. She certainly played the part as well as any one could possibly do,who had not been familiar with "the boards" for years. In the altarpiece The Ambassador's Wife"—she wak not so tiaCC(7,4B - Her,thorough knowledge of the part and her ad mirable costumlpg aided In carrying oil the piece, but she did not throW force enough Into the personation of the consort of the British 4mbassador to satisfy a critic. Besides, the plot of the drama seemed to drag, partly owing, no doubt, to the absence of Mr. 'Robson; who was to have played the Ambassador, taut whose place was hastily assumed by Mr. Mackay. Miss de Marguerittes will need a much longer experience on the stage ere she can succesafully assume characters requiring the versatility of the Ambassador's Wife, even though she may have played It very agreeably In Baltimore. This' evening Mr. Marlowe takes his benefit at the Arch and offers a bill of almost unprece dented excellence. TEE A scearcerr.—A very attractive bill is offered at the American this evening. SIGNOR BLITZ continues to delight both the young and old at Assembly Building. His performances are given nightly and on Wednesday and Saturday after noons. DESTRUCTION OF A COAL BREAKER.—The breaker and engine house at William Rear and Co.'s Colliery on Wolf Creek, were to tally destroyed by fire on Thursday night about 11 o'clock. The only persons present at the time were the engineer and fireman. It is supposed to have caught from the fire under the breaker boilers, and so rapid was the progress of the flames that in a very short time it was a total mass of ruins. The loss is estimated at about $50,000, and we regret to learn, there was no insurance on the property. Application, we understand, had been made for an insurance the day previous to the fire.— Pottsville Miner's Journal. OtorruusEs IN ;PARls.—The number of omnibuses in Paris at the beginning of last year was 565. In June it increased to 664, but fell to 632 in the winter months. Each omnibus went over an average distance of abouf 53 miles a day. The number of om nibus horses was 7,376. The number of pas sengers in 1865 was 101,228,900, or 7,949,179 more than in 1864. Of the,se 51,278,383 rode inside, and the remainder outside. Furs= IN WISCONSIN.—The Wausau. Wisconsin, of the 21st ultimo, records a great freshet and terrible destruction of property. Booms, dams, bridges, mills, shanties, logs, lumber and shingles were swept away by the torrent, bearing on its surface huge cakes of ice. The sight was fearfully grand. The'amount of damage in one county, Including lms of logs and lumber, is estimated at from $lOO,OOO to $150,000. • PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1866. ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY. Strong Resolutions--Speeches by Wen dell Phillips and Others--- Letter.from Secre tary Chase, &c. {From. to -day's N. Y. Times.] The first session of the American Anti- Slavery Societyy under the Presidency of Wendell Phillips, was held yesterday morn ing in the Church of the Puritans, on Union square. At 10 o'clock the house was well filled with ladies, very few gentlemen be ing present. The platformwas occupied by the laminar faces of years gone by, black and white, male and female. Mr. Wendell PAillips, of Boston, called the meeting to order at 10.30. Prayer was offered by-Rev. Mr. Hepworth, of Boston, and letters from Senator Sumner, of Boston, Chief Justice Chase, and Hon. William D. Kelley were read in explanation of their ab sence. Mr. Phillips then presented the following Resolutions. Resolved, That considering what the nation owes the negro, what Mins promised him. and remembering the lesson of the war, it is evident there la no course for us to tread. either safe, just, or honorable, except to guar antee to him at once every political right enjoyed by every citizen in the same tances. Every other path is alike deathly and Infamous. Resolved, That the present condition of the negro Is one of nominal freedom, but of suffering almost equal with that he endured under the yoke, of entire depen dence on the white race for every privilege and the recognition of every right—that no mere enactment of Congress can alter this, unless it makes him in every respect the absolute equal of the white man before the law. Resolved, That the Southern States may see the his. tory and future of the policy they are Initiating In the glass of Jamaica, and find that every attempt to cheat the emancipated negro out of substantial freedom in curs bankruptcy, wrecks property, and ends in blood. Resolved, That the rebellion has not ceased; it has only changed its weapons. Once it fought, now it In trigues; once it followed Lee in arms, now It follows President Johnson In guile and chicanery: once it had its headquarters in Richmond, now it encamps in the White Rouse. Bssoircd, 'That the President has betrayed the loyal north; is bent on giving It over, bound baud and foot, into the bands outs once conquered foe; that he should long ago have been impeached for gross usurpation in his manifest use of his high powers to aid rebellion, and for the treasonable purpose of defeating the secure and peaceable settlement of the nation. Bezolvect, That the cordial thanks of the nation, espe. cially of the abolitionists, are due to the clear.sighted and devoted courage of Congress, for its check end re• buke to treason, by passing the Livil Bights Bill over the veto of the Southern leader. Bssolivd, That we demand of Congress, as clearly within Its constitutional authority, toaecure by aPPIto. priate legislation, his political rights, particularly the right arsliffrage. to every citizen of the United states: to assert as a principle of national lawdelit itely settled by the defeat of the rebellion in the field that no State Is republican in a constitutional and national sense which makes any distinction in civil or political rights among its citizens on account of race or descent and thirdly, to call on theloyal citizens ofeach of the lately rebellious States to assemble; by delegates In Conven tion in such State. and form for it a State tlonatitatlon anCfStatexneasures to regain its place in Congress by choice of Ser ators andßepresentatives. Begolved, That once a compromise of great princi ples for immediate ends might have had some plated. ble defence; but to day. and in lids crisis, whoever pro poses to settle any national issue on any bails bat that of absolute justice, misdates his time—has failed to learn the lessons of the war—postponesjusfiCe,weakens liberiMespards nationality, and is a flume traitor, because a more dangerous one, than an armed rebel has been for the last four years. Better defeat on a true basis than success on a compromise of righta. Better that the rebels should take pitsaession of the Novernment in 1568 than thwart the course of events and surrender the fruits of victory by agreeing to any compromise which accepts peace on terms unjust to any race, Interest or section. Besoived, That when Representatives and Senators forgot the last Maur years, and imitated the truckling politicians of our disgracelbl eras by admitting the white aristocracy of Colorado aa a republican State Into this Union, they stultified themselves, betrayed the North, and gave the traitor of the White House and the rebels of the South an unanswerable argu , meat against all their hollow zeal for Justice and edom. • Rev. Mr. Frothingham was the first speaker. He began with a review of the war waged by the Anti-Slavery Societies in years past and at present. The only point made by Mr. Frothingham which was novel in its assertion, or which created the least enthusiasm, was the announcement that "we allow no teacher to go to the South who is not pledged to an uncompromising loyalty to the black man—no amount of enthusiasm, intelligence or culture being for an instant considered until that first great principle is determined." In regard to granting the negro the ballot, Mr. . Frothingham said that he was not sure that it was wise or ex pedient, nor was he confident that the negro would not abuse it. He thought quite likely that he would abuse it, and that it was neither wise nor expedient, but he didn't care for that; it was an absolute right, and whether good or evil 'came from it, it was none of his business. In the absence of Treasurer • Bowditch, Mr. Phillips announced the following ap proximate account: —Receipts, $14,000; ex penses, $13,800; balance, $2OO. Mr. C. L. Remond, of Salem (colored), followed. He commenced by a touching allusion to the prejudice which exist against color, and argued at length in favor of the resolutions, and to prove that the American people are a nation of ingrates. Mr. Phillips, after reading the fourth re solution, spoke substantially as follow: Speech of Mr. Phillips. I think there is great substance of truth in Mr. Remond's remarks concerning the prejudice against the colored race. But no such charge should close American lips at this crisis. It would be a rare and beautiful tribute to the black, if while, during the war, we added an epithet to the name of the white, no man ever added an adjective to the black. To be black was tote loyal. They are saved from treason and from policy. White men at the South were said, in some numbers, to sympathize with the nation, but they dared not show it, The black had no concealment and needed no disguise. Their courage was proven at Wagner and Port Hudson, and their good sense is admitted by all. I find fault with Grant because he forgot that it was Butler's wit that saved Annapolis and the capital, and had it not been for Butler,Grant would not have had room to be, and in the second crisis Butler secured New Orleans, and that too by the aid of the loyal black men of the city. History paints us, now doubting and debating whether, it will „be sate to deny him his rights arid still be a nation. I observe that Henry Wilson, of my State,is willing to compromise the rights - of everybody but himself. It seems to me that this meeting has'a function, importance and significance to the American people. I hold that this Society meets to say those that re present the black race are not content, they protest asainst every proposition made by the President or by Congress. We are not content with any plan that has been repre sented. The struggle with slavery as a social element, as pre. sented by a speaker, greatly impressed me. The only cure possible for the national hurt is universal amnesty and universal suffrage wherever the flag floats. I know the power of the 1,000 men that made and engineered the rebellion and gave it birth. If in 1860 God had seen fit to take to himself, or drop them the other way, there would have been no rebellion. Disfranchise a man and you add 50 per cent. to his power. If Davis could haye been hung, he would have passed into OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY. history as a sentiment, perhaps as a power. But that time has passed. Those men can't behung or convicted. They hate us worse than ever,and have a stronger hold on their States than ever. In the settlement of the future they must be counted in. We hdve strength sufficient to ignore Jeff. Davis and a thousand like him, and that strength is bustice. Nations do not live or change by attle, butby epochs. God doesn't change life-long prejudices; he fakes them away by death. For this we have to wait. There is a mistake in appreciating the South. She doesn't dread simply negro suffrage. That might 'be tolerated. The bite comes later. Four hundred thousand negroes in South Carolina, with a vote, means a score of negro representatives sitting in the Congress. Among her Senators and Representatives and leading men will be found these colored men. Half the body of the people, availing themselves of "sundry courtesies, are black men, and social equality follows, and that's the trouble. The Northerner has always seen half an inch short of his nose, the South erner a full mile beyond it. The real lesson of the war is the non-distinction of races. All races and all creeds are welcome. There is no use of balking_ or disguising the ques tion. Own up. Where is the American Anti-Slavery Society? Thewhole nation;is turned into one great body ignoring all races, the black among others, The epoch has this lesson, and the North has not learned it; she gropes toward it and is will ing to accept it. In May, the South was willing to get down on its knees and accept the Northern idea. Johnson never prom ised anything and kept it. His treason commenced when he accepted the leadership of the North; took office at thehands of the dominant party, and now refuses to serve with them. If I have any idol it's Rarey, the horse-tamer ; and .I like all taming of animals. I was'reading an ac count of a lion taming in Paris, and this is the way they did it: They stuffed hay into a Hueeer jacket and put five hundred brass buttons on it, he tore it to pieces, swallowed it and suffered with a terrible fit of indiges tion. He was a sick lion for a week, and after that he would not touch a Huzzar jacket no matter what was in it. We took one Huzzar in Tyler, another in Fillmore, and a third in Johnson. We are less in telligent than the lion. I believe Johnson betrays his country and knows lie be trays it. I think he entered -the office as wise as Brownlow. He was well for about eight weeks, and then was seized with a desire of e nomination, He saw, as did Mr. Seware, l that if the crest dominant party hold together till IS.G.S' there can be but one President, and that is Grant. And Johnson set to work to break that party— to do this he would give the negro the ballot, or he would sink him and Africa fathoms into the sea. Seward thought the same.John aorinet towork in Sept to breakthe Republi casierty,and he has but that purpose to-day. Theparty did not believe it, and tried to conciliate him, and they are now attempting to believe that be means substantially as they do. We have no other fulcrum of na tionality but the negro. Book education is absolutely indispensable for the race. We want them to be within the influence of Northern journals and Northern ideas. The South kept them ignorant intentionally. She knew full well the effect of education. The great weakness of our friends in Con gress is that they argue this question by precedents. The precedents are very con fined. The nation has gone through its revolutionary epoch; it had one idea, that the word Republican means the absolute equality of every citizen before the law. I don't care what anybody did in 1S50; our memory should go back only to 1560; make a man a man, and let him be; take your ghosts. and nightmares before 1860, and bury them decently in the earth. Congress is bound to protect the right of suffrage of every citizen from Maine to New Orleans, and if everybody is to vote, I want to have the right to talk and argue with them. I want them in an arguable state, and I want to follow them. The national sword must never be sheathed. South Carolina can never again be shut up like Japan and China. Massachusetts has the right to visit South Carolina and talk with her. We can't get rid of Davis and the rest of them. We must flank them. I mean to flank Jefferson Davis. You can't go South with the ele ments of civilization, and therefore recon struction is impossible. The army should have stayed • there and transferred the North there. The soldiers must be carried back,. under the cover of the sword civ ilization must commence her work. The South knows her need; she is desolate and poor; she wants capital. The North stands ready and longing to give it, but the South won't take it. She reconstructs in such a way that neither men nor capital are safe there. So the South stands at the door of Congress, and will go for claims for war dam ages and will do without the Northern bro therhood of capital. If she can't get it she will write repudiation over the dome of the Capitol and then secede- Politics is broken, the White House is against us, the Admin istration is treasonable. Congress feels weak but means well. It will not yield be fore Presidential. dictation, but the bite comet in the election next fall, and it .is our duty to educate the .people into what is. their :privi lege and province now to do. We are begin ning to discuss what is constitutional. I hate the word.. [One applaud.] Trust no body, trust no man; trust events, books, money, suffrage and selfishness; but don't trust man. r think Congress discusses too much the limits of Constitutional power. The epoch isn't over; the nation still strug gles for life; the revolution isn't ended; sla very isn't ended; the social and civil insti tution is in full force; Congress has still the right to make the nation safe. The message which I send up to Congress is, if you can safely remain in Congress, continne in ses sion forever; but see, , at whatever cost, by the exercise of whatever despotism, the na ion is safe. • Miss Greer, of Philadelphia, followed. Her remarks were confined entirely to an appeal for money. The following named persons were then appointed a Finance Committee. to secure funds: E. M. Davis, S. B. Anthony, S. H. Halleok, C. R. Putnam, W. C. Wall and A. M. Powell. After a letter from General Saxton, Mr. Theodore Tilton, of the Independent, was introduced, and said that although he be lieved slavery was not ended. he knew it was time that the meeting was ended; neverthe less, as a collection was being taken up, he would keep his eye on the collectors, and try to keep the audience for a few moments together. A gentleman in the body of the house of fered a resolution, which was referred to the Business Committee, to the effect that it was time for this society to organize a po litical party, after which the meeting ad journed. to 7.30 P. M. Evening Session. In the evening a moderate audience as sembled, and after long delay, the meeting was opened by Rev. Mr. Sargeitnt, of Baa- ton, in a brief but pleasing address,in which the old thoughts and ideas were eloquently presented. Rev. Mr. Hepworth, of Boston, followed, and Mr. Phillips spoke in his usual strain at the close of the meeting. Nothing of marked significance was said or done, and the so ciety adjourned to meet in business session at 10.20 this morning. - • Secretary Chase's Letter. The following, among other letters, was read during the meeting: WASHINGTON, May 1, 1866.—Dear Sir : cannot attend the annual meeting of the .Ametican Anti-Slavery Society on the Bth. Accept tny sincere wishes for the complete accomplishment of its purpose to achieve the delivettince .of our country from the spirit, as well as the fact, of Slavery. Among the most urgent duties of the hour, I count takat of pressing upon the in telligence and tht conscience of our country men the expedidicy, as well as the obliga tion, of unqualified recognition of the man hood of man. • The nation has liberated 4,000,000 of the people from Slavery, and has made them citizens of the Republic. That all freemen are entitled to suffrage, on equal terms, is an axiom of free govern ment. [Applause.] Neither color nor race can be allowed, without injustice and dam age, as grounds of exception. [Applause.] If, in the first movement toward national reconstruction, this truth had been dis tinctly recognized by an invitation to the whole loyal people of every State in rebel lion to take part in the work of State reor ganization, can it now be doubted that the practical relations of every State with the Union would have been already re-estab lished, and with the happiest consequences? Nothing is more profitable than justice. Does not suffrage promote security, content, self-respect, betterment of condition ? With suffrage will there not be more productive labor than without? Will not suffrage in sure order, education, respect for law, ac tivity in business, and substantial progress? I have heard the difference between the production of the lately insurgent States with universal suffrage, and the production of the same States without it, estimated at $100,000,000 a year. At this rate, the injustice of the denial of suffrage will cost those States, will cost the nation, $500,000,000 in five years—enough to pay nearly one-fifth of the national debt. Is it too much to expect that senade and patriotic men, in those States, will, before long, see their true interest in their plain duty, and join hands with those who seek, not their injury or their humiliation y but their welfare and their honor, in equal rights for all? However these things may be, this, at least, seems clear. The men who so long contended for justice to the enslaved, and now contend for justice to the emancipated, will not, cannot, must not, ceasetheir efforts till justice prevails. [Applause.] Yours tru, S. P. CaasE. Wendell Phillip Esr _ Judge KeHere Letter. Mr. Phillips also rean a letter from Hon. W. D. Kelley. Among other things he said : . Our present position is not novel, nor is there anything in it to daunt our courage. We are slow to apprehend the teachings of Providence, but we cAnnot escape the dis cipline by which they are enforced. We did not doubt the rectitude or ultimate suc cess of the Union cause when its armies were under the command of McClellan, and officered by Fitz John Porter and Buell. Why it was, we could not see, but we now know that if they had been true soldiers the North would have conquered by its own power, and we could not have vindicated the negro's manhood by pointing to Fort Wagner, Fort Hudson,Millikun's Bend,and and the many other fields his courage has made historical. Had Andrew Johnson so willed it, when Booth made him President, he could have established political equality throughout the South; but be had control of no agency potent enough to eradicate the prejudices o the North. But as a political McClellan. with Seward for his Porter and Raymond for his Buell [applause], ho will convincer. the true men both North and South that' , they need the political power of all the loyal men of the country to save the results of the war, as they did the military power to achieve them. The Almighty can make the wrath of even Andrew Johnson praise him, and he will do it. But we also are his agents; we may hasten the day. Let us therefore be instant and well-doing. It is in our power to settle the fact in question "beyond cavil or dispute." The 39th Congress has taken its position and will maintain it. It will not quail before Executive dictation, or be seduced by Ex ecutive patronage. The people are soon to elect its successor, and I adjure the Ame rican Anti-Slavery Society to see to it that they understand the issue upon which they are to pass. [Applause.] Facts and Fancies. The Carson (Nevada) Appeal tells of a lake trout, caught by a Chinaman, that weighed thirty-eight pounds. Small-sized Chinaman. It is published as a proof of the "Wonder ful inventive genius" or the South, called forth by the war, that whisky was mann facturea out of cotton seed! Cotton-whisky is the natural consequence of the use of the cotton-gin. Why the Senate refuses to confirm the nomination of Mr. Stbyth, as collector of New York, is a mystery. It is not only mysterious, it is-Smythical. Pest, who poisoned his wife near Auburn, New York, about three months since, and who was under arrest for the crime, com mitted suicide, Friday, by cutting his throat with a razor. What else could be expected of a born Pest like that. A monument to John Bunyan will be erected to Bedford, England. It will cost £3,000, of which the Duke of Bedford has contributed £25. The contract for the sculp ture is to be offered to several prominent chiropodista, who are accustomed to cut Bunions. Wendell Phillips, in the highfaluting reso lutions offered to the Anti-Slavery Society, says that "the Southern States may see the history and future of the policy they are ini tiating in the glass of Jamaica." Wendell is often intemperate, but we never caught him before offering a glass of Jamaica to a whole section of the country at once. The idea is a rum one. We clip the following advertisement from a morning contemporary : "A marriage will take place at the Inde's ball, to-night, at the National Guards' Hall, between a member of the company . and a young lady of this city." " Inde " is short for "Inde pendence." A young lady who has all the Indies represented at her nuptials must be gorgeous. The effect of such a wedding is Indescribable.

THE OHOLERA AT NEW YORK QUARANTINE, The Disease Again on the Increase--- Three Deaths and Three New Cases Since Last Report--- All Vessels Boarded at Upper Quarantine, [From today's N.Y. Tribune.] We regret to be compelled to state that the epidemic at Quarantine has made . its appearance on board the Tilinois. The well passengers byfthe Virginia were removed to this hulk after the sick had been trans ferred to the hospital ship Falcon. New' cases have occurred daily since then, but they have recently increased so alarmingly that the Quarantine Commissioners have determined to remove from 200 to 300 per sons to the Virginia. The Illinois is badly ventilated and is overcrowded, while the Virginia has been cleaned, fumigated, and it is believed, thoroughly disinfected. In the mean time, 65 convalescents have been placed on board the Saratoga. This 4 greatly relieves the hospitalship, which has barely room for 100 patients, although it has, for some days nest, contained 115 persons in various stages of the disease. The report of Dr. Bissell, printed herewith, gives the names of the new cases and also those of the recent dead, together with the total number of deaths by the, epidemic on the Virginia. The city was shocked by the fact that the Virginia was permitted to anchor at Upper Quarantine and to lie for some hours within a short distance of Staten Island, notwith standing the fact that she was freighted with an infections disease. We are -in formed, however, that even now all vessels come to that point before being boarded by the Health Officer, so that a repetition of the same outrage is not only possible but extremely probable. The legal boarding place for all vessels from the Ist of May to the Ist of September has been, and we, believe now is, at Lower Quarantine. If our information be correct, and we have it from excellent authority, there would still seem to be carelessness in the administra tion of affairs at Lower Bay.
