New YORK; May 17-Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton lectured on the Mcfarland case tC
women exclusively in Apollo Hall this morn
ing, attended by a large audience, numbering
considerably over 1000, aud including some OF
the most prominent and widely known women
Of the city and country, among whom were
Miss Catherine e. Beecher, Mrs. Ada Bur.
leigh, Mrs. Jennie June Croly, Mrs. Robt.
Dale Owen, Miss Tracy Cutter, Eleanor Kirk
and Phebe Cozzens. Susan B. Anthony pre-
sided, Introducing Mrs. Stanton, who spoke
for over an hour, giving full statement Of her
views on the marriage relations, and then its
application to the Mcfarland case. Mrs. Stan
ton argued suffrage as WON an IS only true and
etfectual relief for the unequal burdens she
bears IN the marriage state. She expressed
her approval of the course of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richardson, in whose virtue and innocence she
declared full faith, and advocated sending Nc
Farand to an insane asylum.
Following Mrs. Stanton's address the reso-
lutions adopted by the Sorosis last night were
presented and adopted, after which general
debate, in which Mrs. Owen and Croly and
Miss Cozzens and others participated. A
party of McFarland's female friends in one
corner of the room voted "no" on the resou-
tons, but were summarily answered and sun
pressed by an overwhelming majority. No ne
titions for the removal Of Mr. Mcfarland to an
insane asylum were presented, Mrs. Stanton
remarking that such proceedings would be
useless, as Gov. Hoffman had no power in the
| piShiSSS' LILO ucClluS OCcupleu over Two
hours, and nothing transpired which would
have harmed men to hear.

THE TONE OF THE PRESS.
| Mr.. Greeley says in to morrow's Tribune
| There was some excuse, though no iustifica-
ton, for the heedlessness of the farmers. This
Is Is their oasiest season., ar l they have the
larthest TO ira lel in order TO reach the polls.
| MANY OF them must give half day to an
election II they vote, while most other persons
can vote at the cost OF ten to twenty minutes
yet even of the suburban and village electors
not "o-thirds took the trouble to vote. Two
ate, justices are chosen, but which cannot
probably be known for week vet. We in
cline to the opinion that Charles J. Folglel
and Charles Andrews will be the men,

Sweeney see fit to have it, without anv pre-
tence that the responsibility is shared by Re.
publican boards or a Republican Governor
and now we shall see how much is saved b,
| the Local self-government.'
The Times leader for tomorrow concludes
"There is but one lesson to be derived from
| yesterdays election, and that is an ahsojnte
| necessity of a more thorough and efficient or
ganization of the Republican party in the
State, and fuller recognition hv evaru Re-

suit Ct yesterdays election lead to the reforms

advantage to the Republican party in the end.
We need a harmonious and effective organi
cation in this city, and more efficient and
central management for the whole State, and
unless we can secure them and infuse into the
body OF the Republican party more vigorous
sense OF duty, the favorable auspices of victory
