Female Suffrage-Addr dresses by Mrs. Cad y
stanton, Miss SuSRn II. Anthony, and
. George Francis Train.
BOSTON, Dec. 9.--It is evident that the COM
munity here is not so vitally interested in the
question of woman suffrage as in that of negro
enfranc chisement, and it IS for this reason that
the audience to hear George Francis Train,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony
failed to more than half fill the Music Hall this
evening. Train, who did most Of the talking,
was unusually singular and particularly re-
markabe for keeping as far flom allusion to the
purpose of the meeting as possible. ~
After giving pretty fun biography OF him
self. he did, however, abuse Greeley, Beecher,
Phillips, GrrriRon, Ross, and Pomeroy, for de-
serting the cause Of woman when it most
needed support. He was followed by Mrs. Stan
ton, who also charged these same men with
acting the part of traitors 10 their cause, being
particularly severe upon Mr.. Greeley for pre-
Eenting what she termed his 'infamous reportn
in the late Constitutional Convention in Albany,
and tor also expressing the opinion that negro
suffrageis more important now than suffrage
for woman. She was also down on the whole
Republican party for ITS treachery, and very
eloquent in her terms of praise of the Demo.
Gratis tor their efforts in behalf of the oppressed
women.
Anthony followed, after half an hours intro
ducton by Train, and made a very concise and
forcible appeal in behalf OF the right of sui
frAge for her sex. Train also spoke again, his
remarks being confined chiefly TO personal re-
miniscences, denuncations OF Minister Adams
for allowing the late Fenian executions without
protest, and abuse of the Boston newspapers for
net aiding and sympathizing in this movement in
behalf OF women.
Election OF n Democratic Mayor In BOs-
tOn-RstOicing of the Democrats and
Liberals-Ths MayOFalty Election In
OharIestOWn.
BOSTON, Dec. 9.-The result of the city elec.
tion here to day has afforded another opportu-
nifty for the Democrats to rejoice and the radi.
Gals to lament In spite of fhe Industry OF the
Republicans, their candidate for Mayor has been
defeated, and N. b. Shurtlef has been elected
by a majority of 458-he receiving 1898 votes
to 1876 for Norcross, Republican, and present in
cumbent.
The Aldermen and Councilmen elected also
include more than the usual number OF Demo-
Gratis, and the whole election is looked on as a
genuine party victory, and the Democrats and
liberals are rejoicing in a most enthusiastic
manner in consequence.
Liverus Hall, Republican, has been re. elected
Mayor in ChaTlestown, and In Lyon Mayor
Usher has been re elected.

.n.1n.t La Il.n 1927 -

t.. Tuesday, Dec. 10. 1857. ! .
The resolution offered in Congress yesterday
by Mr.. Hooper seems to us putting of the cart
before the horse. That gentleman moved, in
order that economy might be secured in the va
rious departments of Government, that the
amount to be raised by taxation should not
annually exceed three hundred millions By
this, he assumed, economy could be secured.
II there was no money wherewith to meet de-
mands, then the demands would not be made.
1t seems to Us, however, that a much more
direct way to accomplish this result would be to
arrangethat the expenses should not exceed this
sum, then cut down the appropriations to meet
the reduction, and pass tax law sufficient to
secure 1t and nothing more. of what vantage
would 1t be to allow the expenses to remain at
four hundred and eighty millions, and let the
income amount to but $500, O,O0O,OOO2 1t would
merely involve US In an additional debt per
annum of one hundred and eighty millions, that
must be ultimately paid. Cutting down the esti-
mates is a much more direct method than cut
ting down the appropria, ions.
The Bank statement for the week exhibits
no material alteration, but the general move
ment towards contraction still continues.
Whether or not the action of Congress will tend
to Tetard all further movements in that direction
will be apparent by this time next week. The
statement shoWs;-

w. E., the able correspondent of the Boston
Ddily Advertiser, in commenting upon General
H3utlers late speech, illustrates one OF his imam
ial notiors in this arithmetical way:-

dollars 1t is a ten thousand twenty-five hundred
millienth part of the public debt; and it will
remain so untn a portion OF that debt is paid,
when il will be appreciated, or until the public
debt is expanded, when it win be deprecated.
1t ill remain ofexactly the same relative value,
however much the form of the public debt be

lSFANTIcDEN EEGLAKD.-By an examina-
ton OF the judicial statistics in the Solicitors
journal, It appears that the number of de-
ceased infant children upon whom inquests
were held was 6S72. OF these 5523 were
legitimate and l549 were illegitimate. This
would seem to disprove the assertion that
illegitimate children are the usual subjects of
infanticide. II is apparent that crime is

MEETING IN PIcKENs DISTRICT.
There was a meeting held, at Wall
halla last week, at which q picnic
was prepared by the colored people,
The Pickens Courier says:
Col. w. D. Wilkes, of Anderson,
delivered lengthy and very appro-
pirate speech on the occasion. Seve-
raj colored persons made remarks il,
n spirit of kindness and sympathy fof
both races. A considerable number
of white persons were present. The
colored people spread their pic mic in
a pleasant spot near by, and seemed
to enjoy it with moderation and good
order. They prepared q separate
table for their invited guests, and
were assiduous in their attention to
them. The colored people demeaned
themselves well on this occasion. It
was reserved for their white friends
to get up an unpremeditated row late
in the day. "John Barleycorn" was,
we think, to blame for the disturb
ance.

Politicai EmissarIes.

The New Orleans Tribune has u
correspondent-J. M. Davis, color
ed man-who has no faith in radical
''firebrands'' and mendicant loyalists,
who pretend great affection for the
negro, in order to insure their own
personal advantage. Speaking of the
Republican Executive Committee of
that State, he rather broadly init
mates that some of the members
should take back seats, or leave the
COMMITTEES altogether, and adds:
"They have made themselves very
obnoxious to the people by forcing
themselves ut every opportunity they
can get to make the colored man
think that they, above all others, are
the most important defenders of his
political rights. The people who
attend the meeting of the committee
go there for the express purpose of
getting information; but go away
disappointed, by seeing these fire
brands jump up and oppose every
resolution that the intelligent portion
of the committee offer. These same
pompous gentlemen go around among
the colored people, inquiring after
the health OF the old man, and when
they come across the old woman and
the children, they tell her that the
children look just like their father,
because they are black. Then they
go right into public meeting and
vote to get the nigger out of the plat
form, which makes the old fellow
think white men mighty uncertain.
Those persons may shake
hands with the old man and hug the
old woman and squeeze the daughter,
but when they go to kiss the baby,
then the man knows something is not
right, and he will tell them he has no
uae for nurses"
Verify J. NJ. Davis understands the
character of the fire. brand tribe of
politicians of whom he speaks. To
talk about kissing "the baby" was
"the unkindest cut of ALL"

The CABINET. correspondent
of the Baltimore San says:
"There is no doubt that politicians
have, as they have heretofore, ever
since the accession of Mr.. johnson to
the Presidency, been urging upon
him to make changes in his Cabinet,
on the ground that thereby the Ad-
ministration would be strengthened.
cit is equally well known that the
present members of the Cabinet have
more than once stated to the Presi-
dent that they will not for p,oment
embarrass him in making any cnanges
in the executive department that he
may deem proper. At present, there
is no prospect of any such changes,
the relations of the President and
the members of the Cabinet being OF
the most courteous and friendly cha
racter." t-.r

ATTEMPTED INsURREcTIoN IN CUBA.
A despatch to the Baltimore SIN,
dated Havana, 18th instant, says:
ga negro insurrection has just
miscarried in st. Jago de Cuba, the
Government having had timely warn
ing. AT the first sign of discovery,
ut the village Of Del Cobre, many
took to the mountains, armed, SO
that the securing parties sent out by
the local authorities have had to kill
q few who persisted in holding out,
not listening to their offers of liberal
quarters. Quite magazine of am
munition was found on the neighbor-
ing estates, and all leads strongly to
the supposition that there must be
some whites connected with the plot. "

ae the middle. The second party
then drew the opposite rail to the
exact gauge, and fastened at the
middle and the end. RThen came
other squads of bpikers, moving
along with the precision of military
drill, each having particular spike
to drive, and no one interfering with
another. Track liners followed these,
and with their crow-bars rectified the
line. The filters came last. One
party of these filled and packed the
spaces at the ends and middle of the
rails; the other completed the inter-
mediate intervals, and the Job was
left till the squads of track repairers
should come up and finish the bal
lasting. But MS the filters leave it,
full trains can run over it, with safe
ty, ut twenty miles an hour.
Let the reader picture the scene.
The rush of the loaded truck; the
successive dropping of the rails in
place; the rattle of the spiker's ham
mer, sounding like hotly contested
skirmish; the roar of the distant
supply trains moving up; the resoInd-
ing of the frequent signals, near at
hand; the universal hustle; 'the
rumble, and grumble, and roar" of
the wonderful advance
On the 9th Of May, 1866, but forty
miles Of road were completed. In
1872 working days thereafter, 245 ad-
ditional miles were laid and put in
prime condition; every rail ind tie
and spike having been brought up
from the rear SeyeD soxyp,illa fnr
nish the ties and lumber. AL bridges
are framed, the pieces numbered,
and set mp where wanted without the
least delay. The bridge at Loup
Fork is l, 500 feet long, and as fine
Howe truss rs can be found in the
land. While our train was running
the sixty miles from North Platte,
over n mile of track had been put
down, and one train passed over it..
From o'clock till 4 in the afternoon,
mile and 200 feet were added to
this while the party were looking on.
The road will touch the base of
the Rocky Mountains the coming
autumn. The California end has al
ready reached point about 100
miles East, and is descending the
Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevadas
into the valley of the Humboldt.
It is confidently expected that Salt
Lake will be reached next year, and
that 1870 will see the whole line COM
pleted. While the nation has scarcely
heard of what was being done, the
work has been near one-third accom-
plished

Decrease of Southern Population.


The authorities of Mississippi pro-
vided for taking the census of the
State last year, statement of the
result of which recently appeared in
the Jackson Clarion. The figures are
suggestive. The total population in
1864 was as follows: Whites, 343, ,46O;
blacks, 3S1, 1858. Total, 724,71s.
In 1860, the aggregate population
was as follows: Whites, 353, ,899;
blacks, 447, 404. Total, 8O1, 1903.
The actual decrease of population
during the six years, from 1860 to
1866, was, therefore: Whites, 10, ,439;
blacks, 66, lag. Total, 76,5s5.
The ratio of increase from 1850 to
1860. of whites, was about twenty
per cent, and of blacks something
more than forty per cent. Under
this ratio of increase during the past
six years, there should have been a
population in Mississippi of S54, 900,
instead of $4,000, which shows a
loss of population by failure to in
crease of 230, 1000. This, added to
the natural loss, aggregates q total
loss of population of 30G, 900, in the
space of six yeays OF this loss, the
whites suffered TO the extent of 52,-
600. and the blacks 254,OOO.
Thus it will be seen that NIissis.
sippi emerged from the war minus
nearly third of q million of her
people, one-quarter of million
being blacks. Instead of increasing,
as previous to the war, she COM
menced the retrograde march, giving
up nearly one-tenth of the popula,
tion she held at the commencement
Of the war. These figures should
arrest the attention not only OF the
people of Mississippi, but the states,
men of the country.
With the exception of Texas, it il
highly probable that all the other
unreconstructed States are in con-
dition similar to Mississippi in this
respect.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
Republican, commenting upon the
removal of Stanton and the appoint
ment of Gen. Grant ad interim to the

"What the country needs most, of
present, is straightforward, non

ton Acts. The South should be
made to understand, by daily practi-
cal demonstration, that the letter and
spirit of the laws will be observed;
that they will not be interpreted or

We believe we have stated correct
" both the past and present condi-
tion of the planter;y and thus believ-

infinitely moro preferable and favor

ther convinced, that many of. our
agricultural friends have arrived at
the same conclusion. When all po-
litical clouds shall have passed from
tile Southern armament, our labor
system properly adjusted, and when
our people have learned, by severe
discipline and experience, the nature
of true economy, and have realized
its benefits, Southern industry will
reach its proper standard and reap its
rewards-which process, in the past,
has been almost exclusively confined,
in this country, to, the more thrifty
people of another section. -
