A short lime since there was Woman's Rights
Convention at Albany, New York. The women
agreed upon an address 10 the Legislature, which
was presented in ilueiform and upon which COM
mittee was appointed insthe House. On Friday
last said Committee gave the women hearing in
the Assembly Chamber. Tie large room was lite
rally crammed before the Committee arrived. The
entertainments were opened by Miss Susan B. An
thony. who proceeded 10 state the reason why wo-
men demanded the relief petitioned for. They
wanted husband and wife TO be tenants in COM
mon property without regard to survivorship; post
nuptial acquisitions should belong equallyto hus-
band and wife; that married women should be
entitled TO execute letters estamentary and of adj
ninistraton; that they, should have power 10 make
contracts and transact business as though they
were unmanied--should stand in the same posi-
ton as single womenas parties witnesses in le-
gal proceedings-sole guardians of their minor
chidren--homestead inviolable and .inaliena5le
for themselves and chidren-divorce laws revised
drunkenness BE made sufficient cause for di-
yorce-have the right of sufirage-hold Office, leg!
islative, judicial, and ministerial, &c.
Miss Anthony presented document embracing
the above demands which was described as the
.Woman's Rights PLATFORM" when Mrs Ernestine
L. Ross was introduced to the Committee, and the
audience. She spoke an hour and half, recapit-
ulatng the address which she delivered on fequent
occasions before audiences at twenty-five cents
admission. AT the conclusion of her speech she
was cheered aud applauded in the galleries. aud
retired conscious of having made an impression on
the Committee, that women deserve some relief al
the hands of the Legislature. The meeting then
dispersed.
This may seem to some like grave consdera-
ton on the part of Legislative body of Womun's
Rights; bui i, looks more to us like body OF wo-
men organizing themselves into show 10 which
these grave Legislators repaired for diversion and
fun. Tie only difference was, Miss Anthony did
not charge the usual admission attending her en-
tertainments. q

There were Thousands who were not absolutely the
slaves OF sin but who were in imminent da acsr 81
losing every vestige OF the moral principles they
oeivee from Their parents. They could not be reach

ployers could not reform them. The latter were too
often characteiized by anta.onstic feelings sni Dr-
ciples and often did more r jury than good 10 the
cause Of morality. The speaker then dwell, upon the
influence Of the young upon the young. whether for
good or evil and urged that IL such influence was 30
powerful in swelling the numbers OF the vicious it
ought to be siil more operative wien engaged on the
