TUE EAST RIVER MARKET.

An Uptown Rival for Washington Market.
The new East River Market, which was opened
about two months ago. is now fairly established. 1t
is situated on avenue c, and extends the
length OF the block between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets. 1t Is one OF the finest
and most commodious in the CITY, 1t
Is extremely well ventilated and lighted
and its situation renders it easily accessible 70 the
residents OF the east side OF the city. The building
has front Of $50 feet C, the entire length
or the block, and extends to the river buikhead a
distance OF les feet. covering over 10000
square feet, or about thirty city lots.
There are 800 large stands arranged on
a systematic plan, and all are occupied.
Many or the stand-holders were formerly OF
Washington Market. but the great expense they
were under there necesstated removal to q place
where they would be under less expense and could
sell cheaper. The stands are well kept and are
supplied with meat fish, vegetables &c. of the
best quality. Every variety OF articles neces-
sary III the housekeeping line are Tor sale.
Not having TO pay so much rent and
bonus As the stand-holders in Washington Market
ana getting their supplies in the same way those
dealers, they can afford to sell much lower. The
situation Of the market also affords great facilities
Tor receiving goods, as there is large per aud
bulkhead in the rear OF It, where they be landed
immediately from the boats Without the trouble and
expense OF cs rtage.

Senior Iglesias, the Minister OF Justice has re-
signed owing to the election and to dissensions In
the Cabinet
The wife OF President Juarez IS seriously indis-
posed, and 1t Ia thought she will not recover.
Two city councils, representing the Lerdo and
Juarez parties, have been elected Juarez, however,
has decided that the old Board OF Aldermen shall
continue In office. While this decision disposes for
time OF the difficulty presented by the election of
two boards OF city council Il does give satisfac-
ton to the friends of the candidates chosen by
either party.
Pedro velez, Governor OF the district has re-
signed owing to the difficulties with the election
council, and the resignation OF Lerdo is expected
daily. Juarez will be Candidate in the Presidential
campaign, and his election Is considered certain.
Diaz has gone to Oaxaca.
The sessions Of Congress were brought to q close
on the 18TH Of December, when the President
tJuarez) made q speech in the course Of which he
said that the treaty OF commerce and amity be-
tween Mexico and Italy had been signed by the
latter Power. The Speaker OF Congress subse-
quently remarked that both Congress and the Presl
dc mt deem the present suitable time for Mexico to
resume her former relations with foreign Powers, or
to form new relations precedent to an interchange
OF representatives. Foreseeing the probable oondi-
ton of AFFAIRS and with view, perhaps OF alaying
the apprehensions OF the public, the Speaker also
said That 1t behooved him TO deny the truth OF re-
ports in circulation that troubles are expected to
arise out Of the coming elections.
The representatives Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company are TO meet the representatives Of
the Mexico and Matamor0s Telegraph Company and
arrange for q connection OF the lines OF the former

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Stated Session OF tho Association-War and
Various Other Subjects Considered.
Rather langutd meeting OF the New York
Suffrage Society was held yesterday at their rooms

dress was read by Mrs. whitney, in which the SUBJ

or knowledge OF farming, but thought that she did
know why she wanted TO vote. She didn't like TO
be involved In the consequences of wars brought on
by ambitious politicians, while she had no voice In
the matter.
Mrs. HALLocK thought that it might be a good
thing women should tell men beforehand
that il they went to war they must take care of
themselves, scrape their own lint aud make
their jcllies. Al rate she thought that this
would he fair as for men to tell women that If they
dent fight they can't vote. In what she said about
men she didn't mean the representatives OF the sex
who were present; she meant ordinary men, ana
these were extraordinary. She knew many women
who had lost their lives hospital service and She
thought that II men would tight like dogs it was
best to
LET THEM GO TO THE DOGS.
Mrs. SoMERBY thought tnat nothing would be
gained by mixing women with poIIt,cs under the
present regime, unless l fastened the general wind
ing up OF the prevailing state OF things IN which
case she favored the Introduction OF the feminine
tion constructed by the united wisdom OF women
and men. she didn't believe that women would
ger their rights by voting for them.
Mrs. HALLoCK was OF the opinion that If the votes
Of all the women In the country could be aggregated
at given election The moral influence would be
IMMENSE:
and that women must first get the ballot In order to
be able TO touch government A jealous friend OF

contrary was shown, but the law supposed
tnat The only enamel through which truth
could pas pass was that Of an an oath, Yet deliberate
affairs OF society, produced as much harm as was
produced by deliberate lie before Judge and
jury. The distinction the law made in investing
lie In one case with greater en0rmity, necessarily
reduced the crimlnailty which ought TO attach to 1t
"a the other, and failed TO accomplish the desired
object of securing greater veracity in courts. The
imprccatory clause OF an oath assumed that man

assumed the Deity can only punish for the crime OF
false oaths, or, In other words, punish for

first established is argument for its utility at pre-

an argument rather fer its lnelf cheney and mprac-
