Julian. Lucretia Mott, Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, Abby Kelly and others and after a
session of eight hours, and over some triding
opposition, the following resolutions Of dis
bandment were carried, and the Anti-Slavery
society is no more
ResoIreq That in the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment we see the fulfllment Of the pledge
which the anti-Slavery movement made TO the
colorei population Of the United States, to Sc
cure to them all the rights and privileges which
belonged TO them as men and as American citI-
zens.
Resorred, That while social prejudices,
anarchy and the rule Of the sssassins at the
South. and the ignorance, lack Of organization,
and landless poverty which must for time
weaken the black, will all contribute to make
the exercise Of these rights neither easy nor al
ways safe for years to come, still, since the vo-
ting class are never permanently wronged with
out its own consent, we feel that we may safe
ly trust our clients 10 the genera. influence OF
civilization and Christianity.
Resolre4, That, thanking Almighty God for
the marvellous and unexampled quickness with
which it pleased Him to do His great work,
penitent for the guilty past and grateful for
triumphant and unleseryed present, we vel
come cur wrongei equal to our side, promising
him heuce'or;h to make every effort to secure
TO him a safe exercise of his rights. the present
opportunity for social enjoyments, for intellect
al and moral Improvement; relaxing no whit
u our watch and aid until no vestige Is left in
social. civil. ami religious life Of tina; hateful
prejudice which has hitherto poisoned and DIS
rraced cur entire legislation, and We do,
Therefore. Now disbani the American Anti
Slavery Society.

OF slanlerous charges against that gentleman
Too many such utterances are heard in Con
gress. aud it would be a subject for congratnla-

willingness to apologize when proved in til.
wrong.

lutions - which are talked about.
The act to amend the bankrupt law, reported
by Judge Poland aud passed by the House, not
only makes provision for the Territories, but
provides that in case Of vacancy in the Office
OF District Judge in any district, or in case any
District Judge shall, from sickness or absence or
other disability, be unable to act, the clerk Of
such district shall be authorized or empowered,
by leave or order Of the Circuit Judge of the
circuit within which such district is included, to
make, during such disability or vacancy, all ne
cessary rules and orders preparatory to the final
hearing Of all cases in bankruptcy.
The income bill passed by the Senate means
that the five per cent. rate shall be collected on
all incomes this spring and next spring. The
House viii not agree to this, as great majority
Of the members hold to the idea of a reduction Of
taxation at rs early date as possible. The
Ways and Means committee have agreed on a
three per cent. income tax with $1,000 deduction.
Whether they will agree that this rate shall be-
gin with this year, is not known.

The need of better classification Of conyicts
was also strongly presented. Rev. DR.. Kirk
was one who spoke to this point, in an earn
est appeal against the present penal system
as unjust, cruel and impolitic, in that it
sent criminals Of every shade of guilt to herd
together, as if only for punishment and not
for reform, girls with hearts and hopes being
sent where their womanhood persisted and
their hopes ceased. The petitioners advoeat-
ed the establishment Of reformatory prisons
for women and girls sentenced for crime, who
are too old to be sent to the Industrial School
for girls, the superintendent and assistants
Of the institutions to be women, and to be
under a board Of inspectors composed IN
equal numbers Of men and women.
The subject is one Of no narrow or local
interest and Importance. The prison sys-
ten oreyery State in the Union, Is, we doubt
not, as faulty as that Of Massachusetts,, in
these respects and public attention cannot
be too often or too strongly called to the mat
ter. No State can afford to maintain public
schools Of crime and impurity.

separate Pri.on. Ter Women.

This subject has recently had a hearing be-
fore the Committee on Prisons Of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature. 1t was forcibiy urged
that the prison system Of Massachusetts, was
shamefully faulty, in not providing for the
separate keeping of female conyicts, in pri-
sons or relormatories under the charge o!
women keepers 1t was urged That the work
of reformation of women should be in the
hands Of women, and that the best talent OF
woman was needed for matrons and for super
intendents that men were not the proper
persons to be keepers and attendants of wo-
men. and allowed 10 visit or look into their
cells at all hours Of the day or night; that
impunity was largely the rule, for the treat
ment Of women by then keepers in prison, and
that plenty of instances could be adduced of
the ruin, after they came into the hands
of law, Of yirtuous girls sentenced for
petty theits, drunkenness or yagran-
cy that the prisons almost always con-
tain women who possess the power of
tempting and degrading their tenderer asso-
GATES, and not only that, but Of breaking
down the moral character of the men with
whom they are brought in contact, whether
managers or subordinates in the prisons.

Houses If the Dominion Parliament Dispatches
received Tuesday by Gov. Underwood brought
