abandoned wife, in her own behalf and that
OF her children, brings suit for such interest

ante-nupiial contract. In her complaint she
further alleges that after the death of Cath

Rough on Ulysis.

At the Woman Suffrage Convention held
in New York last week, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton spoke as follows:
Mrs. Stanton then appeared on the plat
form, aud was greeted with prolonged m.
plause. On being introduced by Miss An,
thony, she proceeded with the delivery Of one
OF the ablest aud most eloquent speeches ever
made by her. The audience listened TO her
with intense interest for three quarters of an
hour, and nPPlauded her enthusias,icalIy.-
10 cOndense her points: There were no
more arguments against woman suffrage to be
found in many of the leading organs which
had previously opposed it strcnOusly. The
women of the United States, or rs many rs
have the courage to do it, expect to vote in
1872. We must now prepare them to vote
right Russia and America are the two great
powers OF the future. Royalty and aristocra,
cy are done for. No more Capitalization ; all
Republicanism. Let everybody have his and
her right to speak and act. Applause. y
The greatest fear at present is not that wo-
man will not have the ballot, but that they
will not make the right use Of it. They must
use the ballot more honestly aud intelligently
than the men now do. The President of the
United States should be elected by the popu.
lar vote Of the people. The electoral college
isa Piayed-out institution OF the past. The
Office of Vice President is u useless one, and
sometimes the cause Of n great deal Of trouble
Fostmasters aud other Federal officers should
be elected by the people in the district where
they are to serve The President would not
then be able 10 give offices to all his relations
or sell them out IN exchange for horses, houses,
cigars, aud dogs. (ScnsaIion The present
Chief Magistrate, SO far from being servant
OF me people IN keeping with the principles
OF Republican gover;. ncnt, makes ali the peo
his servants. On the 4Ih of March next
Grant will leave the White House rich and
infamous. (Chccrs, aud then vehement
hisses.l
Mrs. Stanton-I suppose the Kisses all
come from the Democrats. You know the
hepubiican party Is party OF great moral
ideas, believing IN free speech (Prolonged
cheering aud no more hissinS.) The speaker
then continued with her address The Re-
publican party has done its work. now let it
die and let Its ashes be gathered TO its fathers.
\" military chicitaiu Is fit for the White
House at this time. The Office is suffering
for the want Of an able Statesman. No Pres
ident should be allowed to serve more than
one term. lie would then attend to the duties
OF the office instead Of preparing Tor his own
reelection (APPlausc) Grant must not
be renominated. Perhaps Sumner is worthy
to receive the votes Of the women Of the
United STATES. y Nuice-"Oh. arn't we
going to have woman next time ~ There
should be prison reform. The gallUws j. not
essential to civilization. There should be no
such thing as Professionalism or Catholicism in
the schools. The Bible should not be
crammcd down the children's throats.
