AMENDMENT XVI.
Abe Lincoln's Growing Hens.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2l.-Tbe American
Women Suffrage Association held regu ar
business session at the Temple to-day,
Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell, President, in
the chair. Various business committees
were appointed, and reports from the Ex-
ecutive Committee, and the several State
Associations, detailing at considerable
length the work done during the past year,
meGt, were presented and read.
The report of the Executive Committee,
read by Julia Ward Howe, among many
other things, stated that the National Con-
ventions held by both political parties had
been appealed TO in behalf of women; that
the Liberal and Democratic Conventions
gave them the cold shoulder, while the
Republicans treated them with much con-
s.deration, and formally recognized tn ir
claims; also that the Association, and
women generally who are favorable to the
extension of the franchise, had used their
influence and accomplished much for the
success of tie Republican party in the late
campaign, and that they must look in the
future to the Republican party for their
final triumph.
Several speeches were made. One by
Lucy Stone gave very interesting account
of the growth Of the womaD's rights move
ment in the past twenty years. This eve
ming general meeting is being held, with a
large audience in attendence, at which Mrs
Howe, Miss Eastman, Mrs. Langley, Mrs.
Gutter, and several more of the most active
and prominent leaders made speeches which
were well received.
The following are the principal officers
elected for the ensuing year. President,
Col. I. W. Higginson. Vice Presidents:
Julia Ward Howe, Hon. Henry Wilson,
Geo. VIM. Gurus, WIN. l.. Garrison, Mary
A. Livermore, Mrs. w. L. Hazard, Mrs.
Langley, Mrs. Gutter; Secretary, Henry B.
Blackwell; Treasurer, John K. Widman;
Chairman Of Executive Committee, Lucy
Stone.
A lengthy series Of resolutions were
adopted, the most prominent of which are
as follows:
Whereas, the National Republican plat
form has affirmed that woman's admission
to wider spheres of usefulness is viewed
with satisfaction, and the honest demands
Of any class Of citizens should re-
ceive respectful consideration; and,
whereas, the Republicans have
majority in both houses of Congress.
Therefore we call upon Congress to enact
law establishing woman suffrage in the
District of Columbia and the territories,
also admission of women to positions under
the government with equal pay for equal
WORK, also TO submit a 18th constitutional
amendment to the states, abolishing the po-
litical distinctions of the sex.
The fourth calls upon State Legislatures
to give women suffrage for Electors Of
President and President; also to
change State constitutions so as 10 establish
equal rights for al citiz9nS.

delivery was delivery of the cotton, and
Green % Travis converted the cotton TO
the cotton to their own use without ever
paying the bill of exchange. Ia a second
count in tie declaration, the plaintiffs al :
lege that Green & Travis were then in
solvent and worthless, and that defendants
knew il.
The defendants contend that if the cot
ton was ever sent as alleged, it was scsually
purchased by Green & Travis, that at the
time OF the alleged detachment of the bill
of lsdiDg, the title had passed, and it was
their duty to deliver the same. Another
count involves like issue on eighty-nine
bales sent BY Milford, June Z, 1870, worth
about ten thousand dollars; the bill Of eS-
change being for eight Thousand dollars.
Another count involves the same question,
except the lot was one hundred and three
bales, time June "a. 1870, the value about
eleven thousand dollars, the draft for ten
thousand six hundred and seventy three
dollars and twenty four cents, and the con-
signor, instead Of Milford, one G. w. An

FOREIGN,
Cincinnati southern railroad.

A Knoxville exchange November u,
says: Yesterday morning, Chief Enei-
neer VIM. A. Gum and Consulting Engin-
Ger Lovett, of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad, arrived in the city. They bad
been, for some days, engaged in surveying
the proposed route from Cincinnati to
Chattanooga, via Coal Creek, Anderson
county. 1his line is known as the East
ern Route. The other routes, respectively
known as the Middle and Western routes,
have been thoroughly surveyed. The en-
gineers named have run, altogether, 1900
miles Of line from Cincinnati to Chatta-
nooga. The Trustees Of the Southern
Railroad, having decided to FIX the terminus
of the road at Chattanooga, directed the
engineer TO run lines over all the available
routes SO as to determine which is the best.
This the engineers have now accomplished.
By the lst Of March, next, they hope to
have their minutes and maps competed,
aud to report to the Trustees, who viii then
decide which route 10 take.
The Eastern route seems to be the favor
tie for number OF. reasons. In the first
place Cincinnati will, by adopting the line
via Coal Greek, not only reach Chattauoo-
ga, but also Knoxville, AMI through this
city, the valuable connections Of the North
Carolina and South Carolina systems Of
railroads. By this route Cincinnati will ne
lib miles nearer to Charleston than by
either Of the others. The engineers are
highly pleased with the result Of their sur
vey Of the route via Coal Creek. They say
the line can be run through ON 66 feet
grade, which is much lighter grade than
eliher OF the other routes can be run.
Engineers Gum and Lovett left the city
on Tue u O'clock train, yesterday. From
their remarks we judge that the tapping
Knoxville by the Knoxville and Ohio Rail-
road 10 Coal Creek VIII be the one which
will be adopted by the Trustees of the Gu
cinnati Southern Railroad as possessing

OHIO RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

Pennsylvania ReServ0irs-SYhy not
Zap the Lakes, Dry up Niagara, and
Steal the st. Lawrence from Canada?
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. Zl.-The Ohio
River Improvement Convention adjourned
to meet at the call of its President. It
adopted resolution to invite the Govern
orS of all States interested in Ohio river
improvements to send delegates to the next
convention. The Executive Committee
reported a memorial to Congress which
was adopted and q committee was ap-
pointed to present it. Il asks Congress 10
consider Ohio river improvement as a
national measure not as a local project as
heretofore.
1t argues that Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylva-
mia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois and
Tennessee, the States represented in the
convention, and directly interested in the
improvement asked, contain 80 per cent of
the population of the United states, and
yielded forty per cent of the farming pro
ducts of the nation by the last census, and
that in 1865 they paid one-thiTd of the rev.
enue of the nation. Ii asks an appr0pria-
ton Of two millions to defray the expenses
of surveys with a view to establish reser-
voirs in the streams at the head waters Of
the Ohio river, and to perfect the system OF
buoys and lights already commenced in &C.
cordance with the plans CT the United
States engineers and preparatory to the
complete improvement Of the river.

visions.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-A st. Paul special
says gloomy news may be anticipated from
the Minnesota track layers on tue extern
sion of the Winona and st. Peter Railroad.
They were approaching the Western State
line at rate of two miles daily, when the
terrible storm of last Thursday night envel-
oped them and cut them off from coRlmu-
nication with the civilized world. The
working force numbers over eight hundred
men, and so sanguine were their expecta-
lions that the favorable weather would out
last November, that no preparation was
made to avert calamity which its feared
has befallen them. Only limited supply
of provisions was kept in store, for al
though one hundred miles distant from
the telegraph, the construction trains
maintained regular communication with
Sleepy Eye, the nearest white settlement.
When intelligence of the storm reached
Winons, j. H. Stewart, the General Super
intendent, started out with two locomotives
and train of cars; but SO heavy
and deep were the snow drifts and so in
tense the cold that up to Saturday morn
ing they had not passed New Ulm. There
two additional loco motives were attached to
the train. Then taking on board rations
lOk JLlIb1 QdJo cAS1u icO A11CDJ cCSlhOo lA1atO'
rails with which to fit up boarding accom-
modations in the cars, the train was sgain
started. Its passage way was forced
through drifts of eight and ten feet deep,
and even where the snow did not exceed
one foot in depth so hard was it packed that
recourse was had to shoYels before any adj
vance could be made. On Sunday the train
had penetrated twenty-five miles. Mean
time the storm ragged with violence un-
precedented, and when last
heard from on Tuesday night
the relief train was stuck fast in the
ever accommodating snow, forty miles west
of Sleepy Eye, and eighty miles short Of the
suffering track men. Yesterday morning
the telegraph wires were down west of St.
Peters, and the latest reports from Winona
in the afternoon, state that the wind had
increased into furious gale. For six days
the storm has continued with undated
fury. The painful impression created is
that the men al the end Of The track will
actually starve before relief can reach them.
No supplies are known to be accessible, for
the line is being constructed in advance of
Government surveys, far into country in
habited only by few adventurous squat
tiers and sickly Indians.
