HI-TORY or THE WOKAX'A BIGtJT* MOVEMENT. Mrs. 1'auline \V. Davie ?iu introduced and read a lengthy history of the women's right* movement in this country from it* wWett incipiency ?p to the present day; detailing the | facts and incidents connected with the meetings anil State Convention*, together with brief biographical sketches of the principal actors connected with them. It embraced also the rise and progress of the cause in Great Britain ami on the continent of Euro(>e. Xrtv. I>. Mated that her eniliest rem-iubrance of the oat-cropping of this great reform was in 1 k'2!?. In lS>l-'J-"3 a new spirit broke out in tfce ? burrhes with reference to the natural rights of woman, and St. i'anl was <jnoted by it* op|?on. nts till he was* threadbare, to prove the heresy u! their act*. In 1K?> a petition was iirst circulau-d in the State of New York to pn sent to. the Legislature, asking the right of married wronu 11 to hold property. and after diligent lal>or live iMiiites were obtained as signatui*:s, but thanks are due to Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, for through their efforts the laws denving this right had been repealed, and more liberal ones enacted. In 1*47 the medical colleges were put to the test by Elizab<Oi Hlackwell, who, after being denied tli" benefits of membership was afterwards admitted to their privileges. The first call to take any organizeu action was mailt' t>y Mrs. Stanton while Sirs. I.ucretia Mott was her guest, and the deliberations of the two .lavs at that time amaztd tlie whole world. No man wax allowed to sj?eak on that occasion. Miss Josephine Uriffing was present, and the earnest manner in which she had ?inc? ado|>ied tlieir eause w as before the world, and would end ire in history. (Applause.) Mrs. 1>.recited a hi>'orv of the cause in Massachusetts, and showed the gr? at Im netits which hud followed there. The pre>s from Maine to Georgia was loud in its denunciations of the heresy. At the convention in Provi.lence, R. I., a paper was first started in advocacy of the cause.

Anthony submitted the following: JUttJrit, That this National Woman's Sat- | fr?ge Convention respectfully ask the Fortv- j Am Congress of the ("nited states: 1. To submit to the Legislatures of the several States a sixteenth amendment to the Federal Constilu- j tioii, prohibiting the disfranchisement of any of their citizens on account of sex; 2. To strike tha.word "male" from the laws of the District ( of Columbia; 3. To enfranchise the women of ; Ctah, as the one safe, sure anil swift means to abolish the polygamy of that Territory; 4. To amend the ia*rs of the l'nited States so that j womtn shall rcceivc the same pay as men for ] services rendered the Government. She said there had been several amendment* , made to the Constitution during the history of , the Government, and there was never a greater ( necessity for one than the present. There mast , be a bixteeiith amendment, tutd thisisacconi- , pusiud our work must go forward. To go to s the State legislatures to inaugurate this workwould be too slow a process. This subject of , relorm was worthy of the mo*t intelligent. i niinti> in onr land. At the capital of the nation s thev expected to meet intelligence. In all \ legislative todies we look for intelligence h at least more than in the 5th or 6th Congressional f districts ot New York. [laughter.] The negro j question had been before the country for a great t many years, and the great objects oi' that .pies- , tkm had been accomplished. The woman nues- 0 tion had been twenty years in progress, and was t uot to be abandoned until their hope* were real- :i ?!: ? h;i teen jnlnjr nU?!11 throng* the j. 1'ftiihl.rv TkPAkinrr anii nravlnir fnr th?- riirhts of ? ? - | j'lajnip IV1 huu f . * woman, ond t?he van tired of the labor, i.U1 r would not abandon it until woman w a.-> accord -d r her jnst and equal rights. [Applause.] She j| <>al;I L'oiigref-s had the right to pas* a bill en- t franchising tbe women ol" this District, and f could *o in three daxs if it chose to, and at the c election next March the women could go up to j to the polls and ca-t their votes. She concluded <_ by "axing that the expense* of the hall were ? quite" heavy, and she asked tbat the hat be r I>a?6cd around again The women were not ex- j pectcd to jrire much, as the husbands held the s purse-strings yet, but the men were exacted to , give liberally. s Mrs. M. A. Gage, Secretary of the Stab-Suf- j frage Convention of New York, was the next t sjxaker. She said tlie object of hobiiiig th* convention in this city w:is to impress more fully ( unon the mr mhers oi' the National I.einslaUiro the claims of the women of the lanf. These t claim* are equality to hold property, to enact f law*. to be educated to the same pursuits, .so far as they were adapted to their capacity, as the men. If women hold the ballot they hold the I>ower, and it is power that man reaped*. The curse of the world is that man has always looked upon woman as property, dohn Bright had said in the Uritista Parliament that no oppression, however great, could withstand the united action of a iieople in opi>oaing it. As ltuth gleaned In the harvest fields of Boaz, and the reapers let fall the ears of corn, so Congress had slowly let fall their measures conducive to tiie happiness of woman .and we rest all our deinau<l? to-day on the wisdom ot their deliberations, and ] fondly hope for a removal of all the disabilities , on our statnt<> lionlu. Mr. Kdi-on, of Washington, D. O., would like to know it there ?w to be any action taken tourhiitg the i>ro)>oeition to ask of Congress to institute a reorffanization of the Treasury Dcpaitment, and to equalize the rates of salaries? the maximum pay ot a female clerk being the same as the minimum pay of a male clerk. The Ch?ir stated that this matter had been attended to by the Committee on Resolutions, and a resolution would be drawn especially to meet the case in question. The convention then adjourned to meet at 7 o'clock p. Bl. SPEECHES AT THE EVKXISU SESSIOX. At the evening session Hon. Mr. Scovel, of X. J.. thP f/vr? inn ftfiil aaiJ t there never vu any truly great man who had not marked feminine trait*. The argument that we had lived three thousand years under th<* ( resent order of thing* is no argumeut for thci>e days, lie wa? clad to know that soin<^ of our good old United States Senators would attend them: meetings and lend it their countenance. Kven the gallant editor of the Ckroniclr says that the cause has got to succeed, but not in his day. He (the speaker) hoped some day to stand side by side with Mrs. Stanton and others of her splendid genius in the Senate of the United States. I'rof. J. II. K. Wilcox read a letter from Mrs. < )'l>om>\ an Kosea, expressing her regrets at aot being able to be present, and sending her sympathy and warm wishes for the success of the Convention. Mrs. Charlotte "Wilbur, of N. Y., addressed the meeting on the suhlect of the 10th amendment, She said: "We have a right to ballot. Tell me by what right do you pnt the ward male in your Constitution. Woman's rights are human rights, and are entitled to equal protection by the laws." She did not assert for woman a natural right to vote; no one possessed that right?it is but a form to give an expression to self-ffoverammt. >t?l t? l? tlx form tt .hoard have no limitation*. AU tho*?limitations are fast going out. She wa? net hero an an advocate of woman's rights, but for h a man right#, t Applause.] The largest giant had as more rights than Commodore Xutt. This is a theory of a truly democratic ftate. It is urged that woman has less force than man. The day has gone by when brute force claimed the preeminence over the force of mind. It to brain not brawn that rules this country. The aation that exclude woman from the elective fraacfcl*e is a nation of savage*, and men of the beat intentions cannot do for woman what God iatended woman to do fbr herself. Hon. A. G. Kiddle was introduced, lie had been requested to submit to the Convention soui*) thoughts on universal suffrage. Whoever has tailed to properly appreciate the gravity ?f this qaestion most now own to It. This que*tie a has come up now for tinal argument. This day of ours is a terrible day of judgment for the past. The <|ue?tlon may as well be looked fairly ia the face. It cannot be ooatDoaed any loafer. The man that itUnpiato treat it vith'ttoftrilalaiB will find himself ao feeble that he will be listening in Tain to hear hi* own <j?eratous voice.

The black women of the South wore better entitled to the ballot than the black men. She conld not indorse the 15tl? amendment. because it virtually said that woman w:is inferior to man. Nature told her, as well as Scripture, tliat she was the image of God. To make an independent livelihood, woman is compelled to face ridicule and sarcasm. She may starve in garrets or in loaliisome corners, and no man care* for lier. Let her take her proper place in the arena of life with man, and she is still scorned a& strong minded. If all men mav b-citizcns, so too may all women be eitlzca*. Tl?y only asked an equal chance with men. Adjourned. SKCOND DAT. The Convention reassembled this morning, at 10 o'clock, at Lincoln Hall, Mrs. Elizabeth t.'ady Stantcn presiding. There was a large crowd in attendance, the spectators being compost-tl mostly of young ladies, who seemed drawn there more from cariosity than a desire lor instrnc lion, i ne press reprnentcd, as on yesterday, t>y both males and females. On the stand were Mrs. K. C. Stanton, Mrs. Josephine Griftinjj, Rev. S. J. May, Prof. Wilcox, Bishop Simpson, Mrs. Will ur. Senator Pomeroy, Mrs. Di. I>?ckwood, Rachel Moore Townsend, o!

Samuel J. Ma}. Mrs. Josephine Gritting then said she had some letters to read, and she was glad to be able to read one from a distinguished divine, as the friends of the movement had been frequently ansneied by divin* s that they were indls^iosed to open the'nicetiiias with praver. as they could not see any justification of the same in th? divine revelations. She then read a letter from Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Philadelphia, closing a* follows:? " Hoping that the session may be a pleasant one, and that it will tend to advance th<- interests of the cause in w hich vou are enitaged. 1 am," Ac. UliA -1a.? a ?A I? Al ?

Mrs. Gritting then commented on the contents of the letters she had read, and after adviting all advocates of the cause to invoke prayer for success, paid a high compliment to the late Edwin M. Stanton, whom she classed with John Brown and Abraham Lincoln as iuartvrs. Professor Wilcox made au explanation that tin Executive Departments were never asked to he closed on account of this Convention, and he moved that a committee of live beat once appointed to wait on the President to get him to communicate with Congrestt on the subject of woman suffrage. The motion was carried, and the following committee were appointed:?Mrs. C. B. Wilbur, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Miss Susan Ft. Anthony. Mrs. F. I*>. Gage. Mrs. Selina W. Davis, Miss Martha T.

Wk. Hay. rexauk? of bimator pomekov. Senator Pomeroy was then introduced. He referred particularly to the main objection to ?omaii suffrage, being the fact that tbey did nt tight for tneir country.

There were men of fortyire and upwards who, from age or infirmity, ere prevented from fighting, still they could rote.

TAKIXO A VOTE. Kev. Samuel J. Mav proposed that every lady n the house who wished to vote, would hold up heir hands, and fifteen of the ladies in the aulience resjonded, amid great laughter. The .Tiair then suggested that she wonld pat the motion in another way, and asked that all who were opposed to women voting would stand up. \tK>ut one half the la<Ues present then stood up, but bobbed down quickly. The laughter and ipl lause here was so great that many who had ialf risen from their seats quickly sat down again tbasbed. The Chair then remarked that all *ho did not rise were in favor of voting. So, >f course, there was a majority of the amiience in favor of woman suffrage, [laughter.] The L'hair then said that women had to light for years igainst the jeent and ridicule of the pnblic", and he introduced Madame Anneke, a German woman, from Milwaukie, Wisconsin. BKMAHKft OP MADAM ANSIKX. Madam Anneke then said that she had been through battle fields in Germany, and now came here from Wisconsin to bring the petition of thousand of ladies of that State who desired the passage of the 16th amendment.

She had been k traveler meet of her lift, and when traveling In the South she had made it a point to associate with the slave owners, and could distinguish the baneful e fleets even amongst the best classes. She had a good husband, who denied her nothing, for the reason that she asked no favors from him. [Laughter.] She bad early advocated the cause from its merits Uone. Ko man can compare with woman in Idelity and other qualities of the heart.

No woman can attain to the uoMe and usetjil sphere fer which she was created with such i<lea.-. The life of .Jesus Christ (our great pattern) wis a life of toil and labor. She advised the young women to go forth into the wimH and choose torn*' useful pursuit, and follow it, thereby establishing a name ami character for themselves. Christianity demands this of them, ami with the use of the ballot their opportnnitiea to establish a power which mau respects and fears will be increased, and women will be improved in their condition morally, spiritually and physically. The cause is not tlie cause of a few strong minded women, but tincause of the civilized world. The warfare will go on until the ballot is in the hand of every American woman.

[Laughter.] She hoped every one would subscribe to the Rrvolution. Mr. Stillman got the floor, and said lie would not detain the audience only to give hi* testimony to the good of this great caiiM1. Why i* it that woman has always occupied an inferior jKisition in society? He thought it was because of the physical superiority of man. Woman had been man"g abject slave during all ages of the world, lie had no doubt as to the result of this agitation. It would be to secure the universal franchise of all women. The educational privileges of the age should be extended to the female sex by admitting them to the colleges of the land, and to the study of the arts and sciences.

WStl't'SIOJ OF TIIK TEliKITOItlAl. VI'K'TIOX UTC, The usual weekly meeting of this Association ivas held la.-t evening in the Aldermen's cliaml*r, City Hall. Mr. J. R. El van* presiding; Mr. r. C. Connolly, Secretary. The Chair ap|>ointed Xlessrs. J. Sayles Brown, T. C. Connolly, I>r. .1. 11. Suodgrass, 1!. S. Kashy and benedkt Milburna committee to ascertain what had l<cen done by the Baltimore M>d Potomac ltailroad Coni|iany toward coiu[>li-tivK the road to this city, and, if necessarv. to visit (Governor Bowie.ol .Marxland,and gi t tlt<x facts in the matter. The Chairman w;ts sub-?ejuently added to tlie committee. After a suggestion hy the Chair as to the propi icty of inquiring into the truth or falsity of the rttmors prevalent In the city of the selling >ut of the National Junction railroad to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the jtowers of the committee were enlarged to the extent of making that inquiry. Messrs. Connolly, Slater, McKuiglit. Beall and Brown, were appointed a committee to make arrangements for the meeting of the City Councils in joint session, next Tuesday evening, to listen to distinguished shakers. Dr..J. H. Snodgrass, speaking about the "mall attendance at the meetings of late, remarked that men who were never interested in othe r projects were absent. Take the World's Fair tor instance. At the tirst meeting for the consideration of that project a resolution was rushed through appointing a committee to take the matter into consideration. aiwl mlii>urne<t rlmt meeting so summarily Hint debate was cut oft entirely by the rcry men who are now trying to get a territorial Government for tlie District. None of those wen were here. Oh! no. H<- hail not the slightest doubt that men who would attempt to sell the elective franchise of the people of this District would readily barter away a railroad charter. Mr. J. Sayles Brown advocated conciliatory discussion. instead of the use of such liar-.ii words. Tno gentlemen whom l>r. S. rel'errotl to were gentlemen of wealth and standing, and it was a* much their right to stay avtay .v it was of those present to come here and stay away rrow the meetings those other gentlemen were attending. Mr. H. N. Easby didn't tliink those gentlemen who advocated territorial government were hostile to the intercuts of the District, but the change they preferred was an anti-deluvian arrangement. A population of 120,000 could certainly govern itself. Mr. B. Milburn here called the si?eaker to order as not speaking to the subject; and iu support of his point of order, he would say that for fifteen years he had noticed a growing desire among the citizens of the District for a change of government. Keally, to-day, nine-tenths of the men of thought and Influence were in lor a change; and as to the charge that the men who advocated a change had axes to grind, it ?a? the reverse, as the majority of them would accept no office, municipal or otLerw?he; while the principal and most violent opponent* of the measure were men who were clinzawith deathlike tenacity to some petty little re or miserable Corporation pittance. But he was opposed to such subjects being luiued into a railroad meeting. Mr. Connolly then made a few remarks, advocating the adoption of some detinitc project for consideration by the association, as he knew men would not leave their comfortable homes on winter nights to indulge in vague discussion. Many had attended previous meetings, who would not come again till some definite plan of action was settled on. He knew then that they would have full meetings, and be would gladly weleoase all who had the railroad interests of the District at heart. Adjourned. .

On this floor is located the private office of the senior member ot the firm, neatly tifVd up with a bath-room and other conveniences. The walls and ceilings of the two principal stories are frescoed with tasteful designs, and present a tine appearanre. The floors are lai l with neat and appropriate patterns of encaustic tiling. The three upper stories are litted up for the several departments of the business, and well arranged for the comfort of the workmen. A noticcable feature is an electrical clock, the dial of w hicb front* the Avenue from the fourth story, and which, connecting with a clock on every door, regulates the time throughout the building. The enterprise reflects great credit upon one of our most sterling business men, who, at such a dull season, had the courage and enterprise to accompl^li this beautiful improvement; and we sincerely trust that success may continue to crow n Lis effort*. In contemplating the erection of this building Mr. A. It. Suet-herd secured the valuable services of Mr. Woi. H. Baldwin, architect, who designed and superintended the entire structure.
