There was funny controversy in the anti
slavery meeting in New York, Wednesday
evening. Parker Pillsbury had been abus-
ing Senator Wilson and declaring him ''two-
fold more the child of hell" since his con-
version to the church, when Stephen S. Eos
ter, of Worcester, varied the diversion by
introducing resolution in favor of woman's
suffrage Wendell Phillips, the President,
declared the resolution out of order. Foster
appealed from the decision, and told Phillips
he was using too much authority, and if the
Convention did not pass his resolution he
could not stand upon it's platform. Mrs
Foster, wife of Stephen S.. rose and shook
her umbrella at him, and took Mr.. Phillip
part, belaboring her worser half soundly,
not with the umbrella, but with her ever
forcible words. Wendell and Abbey were
too much for Stephen, and the Convention
voted him and his resolution down. There
would probably have been a secession and
anew anti-slavery society under Foster had
not Miss Anna Dickinson come to the rescue
and poured oil on the troubled waters in the
shape of a resolution saying that the Society
ought not to dissolve finally till female suf
frage is established.
