WOMAy.s SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.

The clerk OF the weather has proven himself dia-
metricaIly opposed to wOman's enfrancnisement
for each Tuesday afternoon he uncorks the Of
his wrath and d0uses unmercifuly the faithful sis
tiers. Undoubtedly the poor fellow Is AFRAID OF
having a female installed in the position he has
filed SO long and crediaby, and, judging from the
revengeful visages which visited the "bureau' in
this city yesterday his fears not without foun
dation.
In the absence Of its presiding oficer Mrs
PHELPS next in rank called the meeting to order,
moving that Mrs. Wilbur I'LL the position Of secretary,
as that important tunctonary was also away. After
being notwithstanding to true parliam entary
rues-Mrs. WILBUR placed before her audience
plan for the organization Of different conventions
an deliberately prepared article, containing much
good advice.
Miss ANTHONY moved that before voting upon its
acceptance Miss Cozzens be heard. Accordingly,
with all the grace and dignity supposed to character
iZe young lady orators Phoebe proceeded TO descant
upon the nlteenth amendment: According 70 nl1 ner
discussed The - president Of the Boston Con
proac@ &ae the Black woman Sns
as being in ali respects superior TO her lord and
ways been considered ''men's helpless household
Slaves" and the fifteenth amendment thrusts the
poor dears still farther down In the scae OF degra-
labOrers had been striving to bring the vital ques-
tiOn Of feminine rights before their country; they
had accomplished herculean tasks and still It was
uphill work. She then proceeded with some old and
very wen known arguments and ended by claiming
for her sex ian equal dominion over all the
earth"
Mrs. BLAKE then expressed herself as glad that
this amendment was ont Of the way; but she had
counted her chickens" altogether too soon, as Miss
COzZens very unceremOnlOusly informed her, Tor
the terrible clog stone was not yet remOved.1
Although suppressed, Mrs. Blake was not con-
quered, and, with the pertinacity common 10 her
sex, she again rose. proposing that conventions
formed entirely OF women be held In the western
States.
Miss SUSAN ANTHONY, the experienced, believes
in giving the devil his due" and very plainly in
formed those present tnat such organizations would
be Of no earthly use.
Miss DE JONES desired to know the pecuniary
stuation-asking, as she remarked with dignity,
"entirely for Information"
Miss ANTHONY replied, with her customary readi-
ness showing forclbly the need Of money and ad-
visng the ladies to natter and caole all the Ords OF
creation with whom they iwere cOnnected-nattery
agreeing much better according to her Ideas) with
male bipeds than common sense. Men possessed
the money and men lhad stolen tt-(here the lady
fearing perhaps suitfOrlbel, explained nerselfby
putting into their pockets the proceeds of woman's
labor.
Mrs. WILBUR proposed to hold meetings in the diff
ferent Congressional districts OF this CITY, was de-
cided that such meeting should be held on Thurs
day evening, the 24th In thelSeyenth Congressional
district. which comprises the Eleventh and Seven
the following night, district and wards unknown, at
which Miss COzzens will display her powers OF
OratOry.
After some triring details the meeting adjourned.
