WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
The Eleventh National WOman's Rights
Convention.

The Eleventh National Woman's Right Con-
ventlOn will be held in the city of New York, at
the Church of the Puritans, Union Square, on
Thursday, the 10th of May, at 10 O'Clock.
Addresses will be delivered by persons to be
hereafter announced.
Those who tell us the republican idea is a
failure, do not see the deep gull between our
broad theory and partial legislation; do not see
that our Government for the last century has
been but the repetition of the old experiments of
class and caste. Hence the failure is not in the
principle, but in the lack of virtue on our part
to apply it.
The question now is, have we the wisdom and
conscience, from the present upheavmgs of our
political system, to reconstruct Government
on the enduring basis that has never yet been
tried-equal rights TO allY
From the proposed class legislation in Con-
gress, il is evident we have not yet learned wis
dom from the experience OF the past; for while
Oun representatives at Washington are discuss
ing the right OF suffrage for the black man, as
ness, they deny that necessity OF citizenship
to woman, by proposing to introduce the word
''male" into the Federal Constitution. In secur-
ing suffrage but TO another shade of manhood,
while we disiranchise fifteen million Taxpayers,
we come not one line nearer the republican
idea. Can the ballot in the hand of woman, and
dignity on her brow, more unseX her than do
sceptre and CROWN Shall an American Con-
gress pay less honor TO the daughter of a Presi-
dent than a British Parliament to the daughter
of a King? Should not our petitions COM
mand as respectful hearing in a republican
Senate as a speech Of Victoria in the House
of Lords9 Do we not claim that here all
men and women are mobiles all heirs-ap-
parent to the throne? The fact that this back
ward legislation has reused so little thought or
protest from the women OF the country but
proves what some of our ablest thinkers have
already declared, that the greatest barrier to a
government of equality is found in the aris-
fOcracy of its women. Forwhie woman holds

The metal can be drawn into fine wire, and is
now extensively used as a source OF light in
photography. Two ounces Of magnesium win
produce a light during ten hours equal to that
afforded by ~ stearine candles, of TO the pound
consuming 20 pounds OF stearine.
The Boston Magnesium Company produce the
metal in quantities. and some enterprising pho
tographer ought to take pictures cheaply at
night, BY means of the MAGNESIUM light the
drawingTooms of private houses, with the
family sitting around the table reading, or with
their work, a family group, can readily be taken.
For microscopic Photographs the magnesium
wire is more available than the sun, inasmuch
as it is always ready. .
In Plymouth, England, highly explosive
compound Of magnesium has been tried but the
nature of the substance has not beer fully ascer-
tanned in consequence of the danger attending
the preparation of it.
Few persons are aware of the interesting dis
Coyery made by Professor Woehler, of Gottn-
gen, of hydIide of silicon, which can be pre-
pared from an alloy of magnesium and silicon.
BY pouring hydrochloric acid upon the alloy a
spontaneously combustible gas is given Off and
each bubble of gas forms ring OF silica, Just as
ring of smoke Is formed before a cannon, or
whenever phosphoretted hydrogen gas explodes
at the surface. W%

AN OPERAHoUsE TO BE RAFFLED AwAY-It
VIII be recolected, says a Chicago corresponds
ent, that Mr.. Crosby, the gentleman who built
our beautiful Chicago Opera House, failed shortly
after its completion, owing more than the entire
establishment cost. Mr.. Crosby was always re-
paTded as an estimable young gentleman, and
much sorrow and sympathy were expressed by
our citizens at the sad termination of his eudea.
yOr to build up art in this city. This sympathy
is now about to take tangible shape. The time
for the disposition of the property for the bene.
fit Of the creditors was fixed at O period now
past, but at the earnest solicitation of number
of the friends of MIR. Crosby it was postponed
till the LIST OF June, with the promise that some
thing should be done whereby Mr.. Crosby might
escape his embarassments, and save something
from the wreck.
A meeting OF q number of our leading bankers,
merchants, and citizens generally, was held few
days since, and scheme was inaugurated which
they hope will effect the object they seek 1t is
to put up the Opera House in lottery scheme,
with capital of seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, with one hundred and fifty thou
sand tickets at five dollars each. In addition to
the Opera House, TWO hundred thousand dollars
worth of Colorado mining stock will be added
as prizes TO be distributed among the ticket
holders. With all this temptation. the projectors
of the scheme hope it will eventuate in an entire
success. while many calm, clear heads think
they see certain failure. Whatever is done for
MIR, Crosby's benefit will have to be done within
the space of sixty-fve days. as his extension only
runs to the 1st of June.

THE REPUBLIC OF HoNDUBAs.-Honduras has
recently adopted a more liberal constitution;
and the change in the fundamental law rendered
new election of Deputies and President essen

stoutly contested political canvass, resulting in
over General Alvarez, and a third, but unim-

tering majority, was the incumbent under the
old regime and is spoken OF as a true patriot.
The inaugural ceremonies took place on Fe
bruary ls. A Honduras letter-wTter says the
morning was ushered in by salvos of artillery,
headed by the commanding officer of the port,
conveying the national banner from the castle
to the residence OF the aforesaid officer, as is the
custom here. In the afternoon the same pro-
cession was formed again, with the addition of
the municipality, the American and English
Consuls, and all the respectable citizens and
strangers, and the flag was conveyed to the
castle again, being saluted by cannon and small
arms,

ceptional record. The N. Y. Times says
what kind of record will stand the test of the
Senate would appear to bs mystery.

The Fourth of JULY,
Yesterday presented two aspects-th,

Yesterday presented two aspects-the one
National, the other State With the first, in
our present condition, we had nothing to do;
for II has been decided by the dominant ma
jority in Congress that we are conquered
provinces" With the face of the Republic
averted from us in imperious disdain, we
showed a manly dignity by allowing "ths
day" which our orators once delighted to
adorn with their most stately rhetoric, to pass
without the poor hypocrisy of simulated
homage. To have attempted any display
would have been, on our part, degrading
exhibitions show as sorry as the dance of
sober Helot. H =
But for us, as Virginians, the anniversary
itself was rich in its associations. 1t came
to us adorned by recollections of the valor.
the munifcence, and the wisdom of our an
cestors. We bethought US of that majestic
group which stands in imperishable bronze
on the Capitol Square in Richmond-that
noble sculpture of him who was 'first in
war, first in peace and first in the hearts Of
mis- countrymsn"
Weremembered that GEORGE WAsHINaToN,
and PATRICK HENRY, and GEORGE MASON,
and JAMES MADISON, and THOMAS JEFFER-
SON, and NELSON, and MONROE, all fought or
toiled for our independence and when that
was achieved, consolidated the fruits of VIC
tory. Therefore we felt that we had State
right to do our homage to the day, as an i'm
perishable monument Of the greatness of Vir-
ginia.
She gave her blood to achieve the public
liberties; she gave her imperial domain to
consolidate the Union; she was the foremost
power in making ''the day" SO rich in its his
toric associations. In this aspect the ami
versary belonged as much to Virginia as to
the Republic; and no partisan majority can
expunge her title 10 the distinctions we have
claimed from the pages of American history
When in the fulness Of time, we have regain
ed our Federal position, by the wisdom of our
course, and the moderation Of the North, then
we may claim the right of looking upon the
day which has just gone by as National
But, until then, it would be at once unworthy
Virginia's historic fame and unimpeached
dignity, for her children to recognize with
affected fervor that anniversary from which
the dominant majority scornfully exclude us.
And that she is thus incapable of the degra-
dation of cheap hypocrisy, shows that her
people are not unworthy to participate in the
rights, as they do in the burdens, of the Gen
eral Government

MI. DOyle's Murder in Richmond.

On Sunday last, Mr.. JAMES DOYLE was
murdered in Richmond by negroes, and a
white boy wounded. The circumstances are
given by the Richmond Times, of the Sd, in
full, from which we condense the following
1t seems that on Sunday, the little white and
black boys, in accordance with an immemo-
rial custom, began crock battle" near
Rockets. During the bombardment, several
stones fell near, but without striking, a
teacher of the negro school, and excited much
comment among the negroes who witnessed
it, and these threatened to make the little
rock-throwers suffer for their behavior. In
the evening, a large number of negroes as
sembled on the crest of Chimberazo Heights.
and commenced heaping the most abusive
epithets upon the boys below, indulging in
such taunts as "d--n sous of BIS" "d-n
rebels" "poor white trash" &C., &c. This
excited the boys, among whom were some
youths of sixteen and seventeen, and these
charged up the hill, throwing stones as they
advanced. Finding themselves about to be
defeated, the negroes began to use fire arms,
when the boys beat retreat, under fire,
which was kept up until they were out of
range, Some fifty or sixty shots were fred,
by one of which Mr.. DOYLE, who was a
tally wounded, and little boy, named
POWELL, was wounded by inch shot in the
leg. Mr.. DOYLE was murdered i'll the fol-
lowing cold-blooded and atrocious manner
The Times says
when the firing had nearly ceased he
tarned to go down the hill, and had only
proceeded few steps, when a negro, armed
with nusket or rifle, who had crept around
through the gully, hailed him with You
damned rebel son of -, halt He imme-
diately turned and confronted the negro. AS
he did SO, the negro aimed his piece at him
and fired Mr.. Doyle instantly fell, exclaim-
ing, My God Pm hit I'm hit ="
The last words uttered by the unfortunate
man were, Mother, do not greye for me. :"
The family of the deceased have been plunged
in the most profound grief by this sudden
and awful "taking off of Mr., DOYLE He
is spoken of as man of virtue and respecta-
bility; and as he lay in his coffin his venera-
BILE mother bowed over hitl, exclainlng in
the agony Of her grief, My poor boy he
never caused my heart one pang
The wound seemed to have been made by
bullet from Maynard or Spencer rifle. Six
negroes have been arrested, charged with
completely in this bloody crime and the
whole affair is to be investigated by Militia
ny Commission The parties arrested all
agree in the statement that all the shots were
fired by their own party This is but one
among multitude Of evidences which thrust
themselves upon us daily of the necessity for
a strong police and thorough organization in
the South. Let lis trust that these oft-re-
peated admonitions will not go unheeded.

The Lesson which the European War
Teaches Us,

We have already copied in full the recent
speech made by the Emperor JOSEPH, in which
he protested that he had been driven to the
stern arbitration Of the sword by the exac-
tons of his enemies. 1t was curious docu-
ment, and had the special merit of being
short Since then, Count BISMARCK, his special
enemy, has also made speech in reply to an
address presented by small property owners,
acting in the interests of peace. The Minis
ters utterances are rather too elaborate, and
to the general public, too uninteresting in
their details, to authorize their republication
by us in full but he assumes great deal Of
virtuous indignation, and is far more diplo-
matte than is his wont. For example, follow
ing that method which LoNGINUs recon-
mends, he exclaims
What, gentlemen, ask you, are we to do
under these circumstances Are we not to
fight for our property :? Are we not to vim
dictate our honor and independence against
men whose warlike ar1or has been increased
by the prospect of plumber and robbery?
All of which comes with peculiarly good
grace from the man who some time since, dis
dainipg the usual articles of diplomacy,
boldly propounded the old BERsERK doctrine
that might makes right, and who, acting on
this simple maxim Of government united
with Austria TO snatch from Denmark the
Schleswig- Holstein bone, oyer which the
"dogs of war" are now throttlng each other.

dacity of this bold man, and brings to mind
the melancholy reflection that civilization has
done very little more, after all, than whlten
the outside of the sepulchre of government
wherein the bones of local liberties are in
tered. Extending these reflections, one step
further, a Boston contemporary asks. what
is the reason that great communities, races,
nations, will permit themselves to be bounded
on to mutual destruction at the bidding OF
one or two bad men?
How is it that the masses cannot make
hsad against the mperious will Of those born
in the purple, who hurl them in the shock oil
battle to certain destruction and indiscribable
wretehedness, in order themselves to acquire
territory, to realize theory, or found dy-
nasty? The answer to these questions, is
simple and obvious These results are at
tainable because these strong minds and iron
wills have possession of the social organism.
History abounds in illustrations OF the Won
dsrs which organized power can achieve Ac-
cepting this as the true solution, as 1T I'M
doubtedly is, how paltry becomes the boast
Of mans capacity for self government, and
how melancholy the prospect in the future

fairs in Europe is full of warning for u.s. The
