Mrs. Stanton also took decided exception
to the aspersion. cast upon her official
conduct.
The Chairman decided Mr: Foster out
of order, which was loudly applauded by,
the spectators. Mr. Foster resumed his
remarks, but was loudly 'hissed. when
Frederick Douglass attempted to stop .
the quartet but with little effect, as the
audience evidently listened to the speak
sr under protest. Mr. Foster claimed
he had the Root by right and he did not
propose to yield. At this time the ladies
on the platform , became much exci
ted. and - threats or ejecting the
speaker by the aid of the Police
were freely made. It was difficult in the,
excitement to hear the speaker,, but it s
was understood he claimed the Asfociaz
Lion preached ono doctrine and practiced
another. He said he had Wee declared
out of order betfause'lMeentradicted the
assertionsof a woman, from - which he
supposed he could contradict ;a on
th.' platform but not a wontan,. This is
woman's rights with a vengeance.
Mr. Blackvrellnetended Miss Anthony.
liot adutitted'that the Revolt:ll4n hid not
always acted - in good faitn toward the
negro, but he knew neither Mrs. Stanton
or Miss Anthony were to blame. George
Frannie Train • had withdrawn front it,
and, in future the paper advocate
equal rights Tor all.
Frederick Douglass followed. 'He
'thought there was an element °fairing di
racted toward tbe negro In the address of
Mrs. Stanton. ' Sonie of the comparisons
in the speech• reflected -severely, he'
thought, on the black race. He was sor
ry,to be oampellel to say Ile had noticed
tli same evidence of backsliding in the
columps of the .Revottation.- He referred
in forcible language to acts df =that ism
committed against the blacks in this city
during the July riots, arid he argued elo
quently in favor of de right of the ballot
for all, black women as well as White.
Miss Anthony followed in a sharp
speech in favor of woman suffrage, dur
ing which she insinuated the right of the
ballot bad been given to the negro at the
expense of the woman. •
.Mrs. Sarah Norton said we should not
consider the woman question, and the
negro question at the same time. I
Lucy. Steno spoke to the question
whether this was a negro's or a woman's_
platform. Mr. Douglass advocated negro
uffrage first, Woman's afterwards. Mrs.
Anthony would reverse this and she dif
fere'd with both: /There should be no
question of precedence. She repudiated
the idea of educated suffrage. The con
sent of the governed to all laws for their
government is an established principle,
no matter whether they , can read or
write, or are male or female. She
spoke of Mr. Douglass being in a State
in which, if be owns two thousand fife
bandied dollars in real estate, he can,
vote. If woman hts privilege she'
would dig in the earth with her nails, if
Besmears% to raise that sum. Sho would
vote before the year , was out. [AEl
plauSe.] From woman's wrongs we
claim woman's rights. She proceeded to
comment severely, on ,the laws in all
States, except New York • and Kansas,
which were oppressive of woman, pla
cing wife and , children at the mercy of
the hastiand: There are two oceans of
bitterneas, she said. In one was the negro
and in the other our own women: ' She
thanked'God for the 'fifteenth amend
ment, and hoped it would be'adopted' in
every State. [Applause.] She contended
that peace, order and harmony would be
promoted by. giving women the rigl a to
vote. There is , no other means given
under Heaven whereby the country can ;
be mired but that of woman„ She,,be
lieved women would vote for the next
President of the Vatted States, for when
Men and women work together, what
tbey undertake cannot fall to - be accom
plished. • - • •

Our readers I doubtless observed the
call published in 'our ''issue; •An a
meeting of ministers - ti?' be' held' in the I
First Presbyterian Chureli, '(ReV. Sec;
vers) Mood street, yesterday afternoon
at two,o'clock. In accordance withrthe
announcement, a number ~of ministers
assembled at the . appointed time and
place, when.the meeting was organized
by calling Rev. John T. Pressly D. D. to
the ctini. • •
Owing to the impromptu Character of
the 'firrangements, the attendance was
not very large
_bbt the proceedings were
of , iiisPortaneel'and%were niarked with
'muoh'anlination and earnestness.
Dr. ;Pressly opened the meeting with
prayer.
OBJECT OF THE .lIBETTNO.
Rev. Mr. Scovel.l one of the Origi
nators of the affair, then stated
the meeting , had been- called for
the purpose of considering three im
portant matters: Firtit , -.ln geference to the
change of time for celebrating the Deco
gationor Memorial Day, from thetrienty
ninth to the thirtieth instant. Second—
Itelative to the exhibition. and , istio of •
obscene publications on : the, streets.
Third—The propriety of organizing a
Sabbath •AssoolittiOn.
DECORATION DATi.
The Chairman stated the firstunestitni
would be taken up.
Rev. Scovel said he had understood
that but a small majority of the persons
having the matter in charge bad decided
to change .the, time of the celebration, -
and it bad been represented'to 'him that
if a proper effort were made by those op
pose4l to the measure on moral,. grounds
it might be arranged . differently.. A
Meeting of, the Executive' Committee of
thee. A. R. would babeld on Friday after 4
noon at which any suggestions could be
made. The opponents of the change bad
net been heard, and if they but properly
presented their case it was sure of a can
did and jitst txmaideration.
Dr. Howard wished to know if there
was mother authority to which applica
tion for fixing a time could be made.
Rev.Soovol said, that es General Logan,
Chief Commander of the - 0. A. R., had
issued. an order, -permitting' thir obser
vance of either. the 29th 0r.301.11, the ques
tion now merely resolved itself Into a
local' issue, and could be settled at home.
Rev. Travelli held the same opinion as
Mr. ,Scovel and thought the matter
might be satisfactorily arranged by a
consultation with the Exectitive Com
mittee having it in charge. He
thought it would be manifestly
to the detriment of the celebration
to have it on the. Sabbath, as then
many parsons heartily in sympathy with.
the object, yet with moral cOntrictlons of
the sanittity of the day, 43°111d - 110g engage
in the exercises. He had pudereuxxl
theta number of soldiers' orpbaus in the
diff,4erit benevolent instittubbni
'vicinity, were expected to participate,
but'a gentlenten connected with one of
the ftrgest of unite institutions stated to
hint, if the Sabbath wee decided upon as
“Menforial Day," the children would not
be allpvJed to attend.
He was in favor • ormaking the cele
bration two fold, on Saturday the decora-
tiOw, and on Sunday, requesting the
ministers in the vicinity to shape their
'services that the object might be kept in
vlew c and thus be made more solemn
and, impressive. A statement of maze
facts he tnought would have great tofu
enee witli the COmmittee.
Dr. Brown thOtight this a very good
suggestion. The ministry and the moral
communality were iu hearty sympathy
,with the object, and desired to engage
with heart and soul in the sacred exer
cises commemorative of•the patriotism,
devotion and sacrifice of the honored
dead, but at the same time they wished
to obey the dictates of conscience in the
matter. It could easily be arranged by
the plan poroposet, which would uncoils
rnoqate, all.persons. . r .

; . • THE SECOND QUESTION.
..,.. , were abse n t,
While the comffilitee were absent, pre
paring their report, the second question
relative to the suppression of the sale of
dtisctme publications was taken up.
Rev. Scovel thought , the exhibition of
ob.sene pictorial prints on the bulls=
tin, boards of, our newsdectlers a very,
great evil, and one which he observed to
be tin the - indrease: .I .l'here Were •a num
ber of places where •these prints had
been for a long time exposed, and he
had obserVed them blossoMing out in
some of the principal thoroughfares of
botlkeities. An attempt had been .made
some time ago by the authorities to sup
press the business and with a degree of
success. Renevied exertions in thls di
reetien were now'needed. He had often
noticed childreni_examining these pic
ture, on their way to and from school,
and the effect could not but be peinielous
In ;the highest 'degree.- Children were
attracted by pletures and would exam
hie thein anywhere, and such ifluitra-
Hobs, ' corrupting and •rninonot in their
effects, should be placed entirely out of
their reach.,
'Dr: Brown coincided with ReV.P.oovePtc
remarks.' He had often - nOtieed - erovidi

arotindlhette pletures - and many times

Rey.Scovel said nothin _ could be done
outside the law. The I. w only spoke
in general terms of such publications.
Mr. Clark—Then all we can do is to
ask the Mayer to nee hi discretion in
the matter.
Chairman—Certainly, t at is all we can
"do. The poWer is in hielhands. He is -
charged with the enforcement ofthe law.
Some further discussion ensiled, when,

subject. , • -

WHEN TO or.mirsr. TB IT.
The following report of he Committee
on Decoration Day with ow presented
by Dr. froward: 4
INHEnEss, It has: bee ' proposed to
have the decoration of the graves of our
departed soldiers, and oth services con
nected with the Memori Day on the
30th inst.; and ' whereas, this occurs on
the Sabbath, a day sacred, in our view,
to the service of Almighty.(3o, therefore-
Resolved, 1. That this meeting, com
posed of clergymen of various denomi
nations, earnestly recommend that, after
the example of those interested ie this
celebration In the city of Washington
and elsewhere, the arrangement be , so -
changed as to have the celebratioh on-
Saturday the 29th inst.
Resolved, 2. That we highly approve of
the object. itself, and desire, if a day la -
fixed that we can take part in the services
without 'misting our consciences, to par
ticipate in what will honor the - memory
of those who sacrificed their lives in the -
defence of our government and institu
tions.
The report was unanimously adopted,
aud Revs. 3, T. P.residy. Scoyel, Clark,

TH.E SABBATH QUESTION.
An intOrmal discussion next ensuedi in.
referetetrto the organization of a Sabbath
'Association. Nothing. definite svas deci
ded upon and the matter was dropped,
with the understanding that a meeting
would be held some time during the
early part of next week for thsespecial.-
consideration of this subject. • •

We need not say to your ;;Honor that
the exhibition of

MAYOR BRUSH ENDORSFIL .
Dr. Brown iuggested thAt some action
'should be taken in endorsement of the
course of Mayor. Brush in endeavoring
to suppress worldly traffic on the
Sabbath.
Mr. Creti n from the Young Men's
Christian Association, ,stated the matter.:
had come before the Board and they had
decided to Originate a paper signet,if
possible, by every business man in' te
city, in endorsement of the .Mayor's
course, That official expectd the motel
support of the coMmunity, and with the
business support also, he could` • sue
ceeq perfectly in his laudable, exertions.
Dr. Brown offered the following reso-
talon: • =
Resolved, That this meeting express
its high satisfaction with the efforts
Mayor Brush is now making to suppress
all traffic on the Lord's day, and pledge
him all the, moral support in 'our
power to enable him to carry out his
purpose. •
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The meeting then adjourned.
