WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-The movement
to admit women to citizenship in the
United States in making rapid progress.
The Rhode Island Legislature adopted
constitutional amendment establish
Ing impartial suffrage irrespective Of
sex. The Legislature of Iowa has
adopted a proposition to submit the
question of Universal Suffrage to vote
of the people. In Michigan, the House
Of Representatives has voted, So to 80, to
strike the word male from the article in
the new constitution, concerning the
elective franchise. The Constitutional
Convention Of Ohio has voted, 48 to 80,
in favor Of an article allowing Woman
Suffrage in that State. The article,
which il was agreed should be submitted
to the people, read as follows:
EVERY citizen OF the United States, Of
the age of p years, who shall have been
a resident Of the State one year next pre-
ceding the election, and of the county,
township or ward in which he or she re-
sides, such time as may pc provided by
law, shall have the qualifications Of an
elector, and be entitled to vote at all
elections"
Commenting on the above, the Sacra-
mentO Union says:
"The proposition will doubtless cause
much agitation among both sexes when
it gets fairly before the people, and will
be bitterly opposed by some Of the fore
most men Of all political parties in Ohio.
Nevertheless We entertain the opinion
that it will be adopted. The fact Is,
public opinion has of late years under
gone change on this question, much
influenced, we think, by the gift Of the
elective franchise to the mass Of colored
people in all the States, and by the able,
philosophical discussion of the question
in England and this country.u

The Union Praying Band.

A large and very enthusiastic temper
ance meeting was held yesterday after
noon in the Tabernacle NJ. Z. Church,
Eleventh street, above Jefferson, Rev.
A. Rittenhonse, pastor, in the chair.
The chairman, after stating that the
meeting was the first of series to be
held every Sabbath by the Union Tenn
perance Praying Band, in a few appro-
pirate remarks introduced Mrs. Professor
Elizabeth French, who spoke at consid-
cradle length in her usual glowing man
ner, pointing out the immense amount
of good done by the Woman's Crusade
since its recent organization. Space
does not allow of the enumeration of all
the interesting statements of the
speaker, who interspersed her much ap-
preciated remarks with some pertinent
facts and statistics, all showing the re-
suits of their cause which Is so favored
/ by God, and so often condemned by men
too greedy to deny themselves a habit,
which, while il gives them momentary
pleasure, and acts as relaxation from
| trouble and sorrow, evidently has its
baneful effects.
The Professor then read a set of reso-
lutions passed at late meeting of Ger
man citizens in this city, expressing a
determination to work unitedly and de-
terminedly for the repeal of the Sunday
! liquor law. This the lady crusaders
strongly denounced.
The speaker closed with an eloquent
exhOrtation TO her hearers to lend their
assistance te that cause on which Heaven
and the happy side Of earth cast a
! perpetual smile. The women she asked
to join with-those already in the ranks
of the great Temperance army. To the
young ladies she addressed herself, tell
| ing them of a means by which they
could lend their valuable assistance-re-
fuse the continuance of an acquaintance
with all persons who contaminate them
selves by the use of spirituous drinks.
''To the men," concluded the speaker
''do L now plead. 1t is you, citizens
possessors of the right of suffrage, who
can do more for the cause of Temperance
than myriads of women. You can save
the cause of good that has so many foes
in the ranks OF sin. We call upon yoU
to defend Temperance against the attacks
ofsIIch enemies as are found in meetings
like that held by the German citizens
whose resolutions / have read you
Gentlemen, you can here give an exam
pie Of fearless, moral courage by signing
this petition to Mr.. Stokley, asking thai
gentleman to strictly enfoyce the Sun
day liquor law"
