The Women In Co uncil-- fsrmatl0n Of
Feminine Labor OTgan4zaea0n.
A meeting of werk,sgxomen favorable to
the formation of society similar TO the
trade organisations Of tho 81 srner sen, vas
held yesterday afternoon, az Sae office Of the
ResOtutl0R. The attendance was not very
laFge, bus the meeting was made up in en-
thusiasm what it lacked ia numbers. Anon Z
those present we're the talented ladies Miss
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Miss Susan Il.
Anthony. Mss Anthony explained the OBJ
ct Of the meeting TO be the formation of
q society TOR the Improvement OF The CON-
dition Of woman and the enlargement Of her
sphere Of labor, ard concluded by introduce
log Mis-. Csdy Stanton. This lady urged
that n society should he clll "a the Work
ingwomsn's Suffrage Association, believing
that women would never be able TO improve
their condition. The movement was gain
ing ground in this country and IN Europe,
ara she thought It the duty Of every woman
to lend her aid to place the ba. u u the
hands Of women.
This idea met with some opposi ion.
Miss Lewis, charming young woman whJ
operates type setting machine, sas that
the word y outrage" would tend 70 deter
many "OuCH tlpu tuo eVCtctys ~
would be associated attn bioomer cost tunes,
long hair, and siagie blessedness. IL woaid
be better 10 attract the women together
through business or benevolent motives and
wren the organization vas placed Oh q firm
foundation, then act upon the matter Of
Suffrage.
Miss Stanton's motion was voted down
and the meeting was then organic I'd.
Finally, after g,ol dsal OF discussion, the
name Ut the - Workingwomen's Associa-
tlon' was fixed upou. Miss @. @. Dessaing
refused TO low her name to be paced Oh
the roll of members, as the word sufragS
was omitted, which was very naughty 81
that yong lady, considering that the min
orlty should gracefully Yield to the majority
IL is believed she will waive the objvctlon.
The following ladies we're then elected
permanent officers Of the Association

JAMAICA.

Sir Leopold McClintock left on the
oath for England, amidst great demon
STATIONS of respect. !
The Quarters Revenue shows an in
crease of G1O,846 9s. 10d. on same quar-
ter in 1867. The tide of affairs in ia
maica has turned.
The overlooking of West India and
Pacific Steamers, at Jamaica for Liver
pool, has caused much alarm. The Press
have had to interfere for the safety of
Passengers.
Some of the Island Press are amazed
to find that the New York HraM knows
more of the affairs of Jamaica, than they
do themselves. They publish EXTRACTS
from the Herad's Correspondence with con-
siderable hesitation and reluctance, but
are still more astonished' to discover that

guilty, and sentenced to be hanged, with
a promptness which contrasts strangely
with the dilatory action of the law in
England towards the Fenians. In conse-
quence of this lamentable occurrence,
the Duke of Edinburgh's visit to New
Zealand has been abandoned, and he was
to start immediately for home.
Addresses of coincidence to her Majesty,
evoked by the news of the attempted as
%Sassination of Prince: Alfred, have been
agreed to in both Hehses of Parliament,
and similar expressions of sympathy are
being sent from all parts of the country.
The complete and triumphant success
of the Abyssinian expedition is announced
by dispatches receivedAt the Foreign and
India Offices on the goth ulto. Magdala
was taken by storm on the 18th. King
Theodore was killed at the head of his
followers, or, as is believed, committed
suicide; $4,000 men laid down their arms
and surrendered at discretion the loss
of the Abyssinians is stated to be 500
killed and 1900 wounded, while the Brit
ish achieved their victory without the
loss of q single life, and the casualties
amounted only TO one officer and IA men
wounded. Sir Robert Naples reports to
the Government that ''if all went WELL"
he should be son his way homeward' by
the 28th.
The New York papers describe a ter
rible accident which occurred on the Erie,
Railway. A train, containing 800 pas
sengers, when passing Carr's Rock,
where the line is scooped out of the edge
of the mountain, suddenly left the rails,
and four of the carriages were hurled
down the precipice into the Delaware,
1875 feet beneath. Twenty-Five are
known to be dead, four are missing, and
siXty-nine wounded. The catastrophe is
said to have been caused by the use of
cheap and inefficient rails. 81
DR.. Nalaton has gone to Stockholm to
operate upon Baron de Hoepner, the
grand marshal of the Swedish court, for a
tumour. The fee offered to the eminent
surgeon on this occasion is said TO be
$4,000, his travelling expenses being paid
besides.

very plain one, and one that could be an
swered either by yes or nc. The honor
able member, in what seems to have
been a really good speech, substantiated
why he thought it necessary that greater
power should be given to the Commits
sions mentioned. What @happens7 His
ExceIlency gives an historical expose of
the past history Of how the extent of

has been fixed, but does not say a word
as to whether the Government does con-
slider such a measure as The one proposed
by the member for FrederikSted, expedi-
ent or not. OF course, we may from his
silence infer that he DOES not consider it
expedient, and that is a matter of opinion.
But we think the member from Frederik-
sted, as we'll as the Council in general,
might have tried to elicit the reasons
why the proposal was not expedient. We
for our part think it would be expedient
to give the said commissions greater
power to act on their own responsibility,
and only regret that the matter was not
more fully discussed. But the honorable
member seems to have been IA little over
powered Ivy his own eIoquence and the
diplomatic answer of His Excellency.
The whole scene ended delightfully."-, by
everybody thanking everybody for what
had been done; forgetting that really
nothing had been done. The honorable
member for Frederlksted really does OBJ
serve the thanks, not only of the Council
but of the whole community for making
if only an attempt TO have something done.
But we beg him TO remember that it was
only an attempt, for which certainly he is
not alone TO blame, for he got not help
from the Council /; he only got thanks,
was politely bowed out of the attempt TO
do something. He showed however, no
little pluck in. bringing the question for
ward and we advise him to be up and at
it again.
