Those who claim that the Woman's Suffrage
agitation is engineered wholly by men with
out the sympathy of women, would do we'll to
reflect upon the fact that the meeting last
night was composed two-thirds of women, with
promising influx of young blood.
Mr.. Neal read a communication showing
that in the Israeltish nation women epioyed
an equality with men. He said the exemption
Of married women from imprisonment did not
show the partiality of the laws for women, this
bein. a privilege for the benefit of the hus-
band, not of the wife. He said our govern
ment was an oligarchy. He also threw in
some denunciations of the newspapers, affirm
ing that they were in the habit of lying, thougn
ne qualified this remark by saying that the
editors and correspondents did not tell all OF
the lies. He said the women of Boston pai /
taxes on sixty million dollars worth of proper-
" without being represented. Our fathers
fought to obtain their independence booausa
they were not satisfied with virtual representa-
ton. Virtual representation was no represen-
tation. Though husband and wife were one
hesh they were not one mind. He went on TO
speak somewhat at length on the question, re-
hearsed the progress of public sentiment in re-
gard to tolerating women who undertook pub
lie duties, and testified to the success Of women
as preachers, mentioned the fact that six
thousand women of Bristol had petitioned for
the suffrage, and alluded to the probability Of
favorable action on this question by the British
Parliament.
Mr.. Todd thought self-evident proposition
was hard one to argue. He had been influ-
enced not more by the weighty arguments in
favor of woman suffrage than by the weak and
shallow arguments against it, He alluded to
the corruption of politics and thought woman's
influence would be beneficial
A gentleman whose name we did not learn,
went back to the original creation, and ques-
TONED the propriety of woman suffrage on &C
connt of the order in which man and woman
were created. He thought woman was repre-
sented and had sufficient power.
Mr. Neal showed the relation of suffrage to
wages, and thought woman would be better
paid it they had vote to dispose Of He said
woman could discharge her domestic duties
better the more her sphere of action was en-
larged and her capacities developed. The suf-
o frage would not dethrone or degrade her. In
reply to some questions Mr. Neal said he
would have woman receive as much pay as
man if she did the same work. But woman's
education did not always cost as much as
mans, and she could not expect as much pay.
He said it was one of the tricks of the devil to
say woman did not want to vote, when such
multitudes were petitioning for the suffrage;
and added some spicy remarks
Mr.. Fairfield said the first question was, had
woman the right to vote. The question of ex-
pediency was subordinate.
Mr.. Neal said if right it m ust be cxpedient.
The discussions of the evening being entirely
unembarrassed by red tape, took somewhat
conversational turn, which did not detract
fIom the interest of the meeting. Adjourned
one week.

BURGLARIEs AT YARMoUTH.-On Tuesday

INTERESTING CAsE.-A case came up in the
Municipal court yesterday morning, the first
under IN act passed by the legislature and ap-
proved March IA, 1860, entitled IAN act addi-
tional to the one hundred and twenty-sixth
chap. of the Revised Statute, relating to the
sale of personal property under mortgage, or to
which the vender has no title" The act states
in brief, that whoever with intent to defraud
sells to another personal property on which
there is an existing mortgage, or to which he
has no title, shall be deemed guilty of cheat
ing by false pretences and punished. The COM
plainant in the case claimed that the defendant
executed to her a mortgage bill of sale of a
wagon and harness together of the value o.
eighty dollars, to which be had no title, and
without notice to the purchaser, as security
for the payment of twenty-four promissory
notes of the value of fifty dollars each. The
case was continued until next Saturday.
