SECOND EDITION.

A MORAL TRIUMPH.

Horace Greeley is now making a triumphant trip through the South. He was received with grand ovations in New Orleans and Galveston, and he is now traveling through Texas,the invited guest of the people of the Lone Star State. This is the samo Horace Greeley who was head and front of the anti-slavery agitation

111

At the conclusion of the

Avar

of the

rebellion Mr. Greeley placed himself upon a platform of reconstruction differing almost entirely from the principles of both political parties. It was a simptoialatform—" Universal Amnes-"ty-jR»rtial Suffrage." The masses of tmnKapublican party sneered at the sentimentalism which compelled him to demand general amnesty for rebels, and few of the loyal party were favorable to negro suffrage. On the otiier hand, the Democrats demanded universal amesty, but were prepared to light to the bitter end the proposition to enfranchise the blacks. Mr. Greeley's plan of reconstruction was denounced on all sides a6 a mixture of impracticability and weak sentimentalism yet at the end of livo years we lind that the plan has been practically adopted. Complete amnesty has been delayed, it is true, yet it will undoubtedly be accomplished before the end of tlie year. Not only has Mr. Greeley's plan been adopted but it has given universal satisfaction. The mon of brains of the Democratic party in the country arc hastening now, while tho Southern people are greeting Horace Greeley as a friend, to give in their allegiance to tho measures of reconstruction.

While Jefferson Davis was 011 trial for treason at Richmond, Mr. Greeley hastened to that city for the purpose of proving his professions of kindness for tho South to be genuine by becoming a bondsman for the rebel chieftain, Immediately a clamor was ruisodjn the North which would have disheartened a lefcs resoluto man. Many thousand readers of tho Weekly Tribune discontinued their subscription. Noarly everjr Republican newspaper in the country, influenced then ns now by surface sentiment, deneunced Mr. Greeley in unmeasured terms. All tho weathercock watchers in the Republican party swore that tho philosopher of tho Tribune hni\ lost his influence forever. The South spoke earnest words of thanks for him, but the compliments of rebels in those days were counted as the damnation of a northern public man. Rut Mr. Greeley lowered not his flag. "Tnivcrsal amnesty—Impartial suffrage!" was his rallying cry.

And this is tho hour of his triumph. The Southern whites who would cheerfully have witnessed his hanging ten years ago now welcome him as their friend and trusted advocate. Tho blacks of the South,whoso champion lie was when they were poor and despised bondmen, greet him as one ot the great instruments of God for their delivery. Tho people of the North trust and honor him, not less than any living American—in fact we doubt not that his place is higher and his position more strongly assured in the esteem of his countrymen than any other man now living.

The man who has followed Right so bravely, and with such dear perceptions, is fit to be president. Americans would honor themselves and tho nation by electi.ig tho brave and incorruptible editor of the Th-ibunc to the highest plaeo within tho gift of tho country.

THK Rrprcx* does not defend the authoritative rending of the King James translation of the Bible in the public schools because it is right or just for the school authorities to endorse officially a version of the Scriptures which is not accepted R!« otrrect by all the people, but Iwnuso such reading "seems to satisfy the great tttass of the people." This argument hns lx»en used to defend every weak and bad cause known to the world since matt wan able to reason. Christ, was crucified to "satisfy the "great mass of ^people." Huguenot blood poured freely on St. liartholomow's day to "satisfy the great mass of the people." Slavery in the South satisfied "the great mass of the people." "The great mass of the people" have 'ever been the enemies of incipient roforn% The forest vriil from five to twenty years behind the age if it consults constantly the voice of the people in taking position on the vital questions ot the Umcs.

may be dwaiftn five and pot

America for

'twenty-five years: and who, up to April, lStw, was hated more by the South than an}- other man in the countrv. He holds a warm place now in the hearts of the Southern people without having diverged one single hair's breadth from the line of principle to which his life has been devoted. He has virtually lifted the Southerners up to his standard.

We fail to see why the power of the sexual passion is to bo augmented by the elevation ot woman. The influence of intellectual and strong-minded worn en, as a rule, is all on the side of chastity and purity. Ontythe weaker kind of women endeavor to sway men by playing on their sexual instincts. Women are potent now as lobby mem bers of Congress and State Legislatures. Their hold upon the passions of men will not be a whit stronger after they are enfranchised than now. Depraved women will never be elected members of legislative bodies. They will be ignored in their political aspirations by both sexes. All manner of evil has been said of tho Woman's Rights lectures in this country, s'till %ve have j'et to learn that one word of doubt concerning the chastity or pur£ t3T of any lady known to the rostrum in America has ever been uttered. Woman's sphere has been gradually widened during the past century. Does not every man know that they are purer and better because of enlarged opportunities? Will anyone say that sexual passion has greater mastery because women have won fame in the field of literature, or wealth in business? An impure woman cannot win distinction and the regard of men. Has the association of men and women upon terms of legal and business equality augmented the influence of tho sexual passion Can it bo said that shop girls, lady teachers, lady physicians, lady lawyers, or .ladies in business are more impure WUMCI By 110 moans.(" Tho purest wol America are those who dare for themselves, and with their own hands, in avocations until recently monopolised by men, carve a luture of independence.

Idleness and frivolity, the growth of the inferior and degraded position allotted to women by the enemies of Women's Rights, furnish more food in one year for the sexual passions than all tho aspirations of women to shine in political lifo which may bo felt between this time and tho crack of doom. The woman who looks upward is never unchaste. Give to tho sisters and mothers, and daughters and wives of American citizens the ballot and they will climb to a higher life, and carry the men with them. Don't fear to trust women. They liavo been the only guardians of virtuo through all time, and they have ever been faithful to this trust when their liberties and opportunities were greatest. It is not among the women of a Turkish seraglio, guarded constantly by eunuchs, that wo lind tho highest typo of purity but where, with ample opportunity and perfect option, they chooso the path of honor and rectitude. Woman's virtue depends upon her moral and intellectual elevation, not upon the espionage or restrictions placed upon her.

WE like tosooaman do a brave thing, and we recognizo the conduct of Thomas J. Forrest upon theUrd Ward School House question, in the City Council, as most courageous and commendable. The proposition to use the building referred to for a colored school—a proposition founded on sound economy and justice—roused bitter opposition among the property holders in the vicinity of the edifice referred to. These property holders are the neighbors and constituents of Mr. Forrest. Democrats throughout the city were usually hostile to the project. The Journal denounced it bitterly. In the face of this state of feeling Mr. Forrest, himself a Democrat, introduced and carried through the Council on Tuesday night resolution requesting the School Board to use the building for a colored school and to withdraw the proposition to sell it. It is not a pleasant thing to face public opinion, and we give to Mr. Forrest credit for courage and honesty in the course he has pursued.

IT is suggested that George William Curtis is the fittest jierson to succeed Mr. Bancroft as minister to the German Empire. There can be no doubt of Mr. Curtis' fitness, but the country cannot afford to spare a gentleman who is so essentially apart of its life and progress. Send Orth, or any other politician without a place, to attend to the bows, grimaces and red tape of the Berlin mission. The cause of reform and progress in America tan not do without George William Curtis at this time.

IUS

THE NEW DEPARTURE. The new departure of Mr. Vallandighani, and other Democratic leaders, is significant principally as a confession of judgment in favor of Republican principles by the more iar-seeing of Democratic statesmen. The men who fought the Republican party with almost demoniacal bitterness for fifteen years bow to the logic of events. There is little merit in their acceptance of tho situation because they avow that their course is attributable to the fact that it is useless to war against the inevitable.

This is the hour of complete Republican triumph. The party whose first national convention was held on the

17th

individual experi

ence teaches us anything clearly, It is that no svstem of society or government which does* not take note of its tremendous energy can hope for along or prosperous existence. No man can tell what would be the effect on such persons as now compose our Legislatures if the accession of a body of women, who in all probability, as soon as the first excitement and novelty was over, would devote themselves to the work of politics. Tliev might be Motts, Howes, and Livermores, but, reasoning from experience, the great mass of them would be—but we will not mention names and we should then have added to the corruption of monev, which is bad enough, a deeper and darker corruption still.

of June, 1856, will find itself without organized opposition to its principles on the 17th of Juno, 1871. Somo Democratic politicians, and a number of Democratic newspapers, will grumbleat the "new departure," but they will all follow shortly the lead of Mr. Vallandigliam, Mr. John (£. Adams, Mr. Hendricks, the Boston Post, the Chicago Times, the Louisville CourierJournal, and tho New York IforM. All political parties which enter for the Presidential race of 1872 will strip of opposition to the recent constitutional amendments before taking place on the track. The issues of 1S72 will be en t-irely negative and unimportant, or tbey will be new issues.

It th8 Republican party proposes to live in the future tho glorious life of the past it must arm itself with newweapons of progress and reform. It cannot feed forever upon the triumphs of the past. The Democratic party, if it would avoid the charge of following entirely in the track of Republican progress, contented to wear the cast off uniforms -of the anti-slavery hosts, must seek a truth and dare everything in defense of it. The party which writes WomanSuflrngo upon its banner in 1872 will either succeed gloriously in the first field of the woman cause or pave the way for a grand moral triumph in the years to come. r.

THE business of printing auxiliary sheets—patent "outsides" and "insides," they are more usually called—has grown to mammoth dimensions. Nearly a thousand country newspapers in America are printed upon sheets one side of which has been previously printed in Chicago, Belleville, 111., Milwaukee, Wis or Middletown, N. Y. The plan is a simple one. An establishment in Chicago prints auxiliary sheets for three hundred different newspapers. The same matter answers for all these sheets. With the best printing facilities, and wi.h large advertising patronage, this establishment is able to furnish their sheets to country publishers at a very snull advance upon the cost of white paper. The only disadvantage in the r-s^Ai is^vit t^Mxmntry publisher is

Hint^8Si»^B^Si^B^ iliary sheet

'publisher toedicloqp siilc of his paper. l\is is humiliating at times, yet upon tie whole, most countrjr papers which Jjaye adopted this plan have been able to satisfy their readers better than wlkn they printed their whole paper thnmselves, and to reduce expenses at th»- samo time. Various styles and khjds of auxiliary sheets are published, anl wo are astonished that some of tho enterprising establishments engaged in thii business have not already begun tho publication of serial supplements, furrishing newspaper publishers with nest, couipact weekly supplements eaci containing an installment of the moit popular serial stories of the day. [n ihis way innumerable publishers, »lu cannot now afford to do so, would )b ajle to lay before their readers tho nostattractive new foreign and Amerii»n lovels.

THE Express announces, in a spirit of ajrdly toleration, that when the mem »0rs and officials of tho Roman Catholic Thurcli see fit to pledge themselves to so tho public schools for tho education their children, in caso the reading of ie Bible is dispensed with, it "will try to meet the proposition in a spirit •of Christian charity." Reallj-, we Bre under tho impression that this \»s a free country, and that it was not all necessary for one sect to make jy bargains or pledges in order to get ual public privileges with another tin eh of belief. The Express evidentassumes that Protestantism is the e^blished religion of America, and tit only by a wonderful stretch of gierosity can Protestants agreo to denthemselves privileges in the schools ^granted to Catholics, Jews and Unbievcrs. We trust, liowexer, that the jijrcM docs not represent any constable portion of our Protestant puliation when it demands bond and s^rity for the future conduct of free jtjile before it will try to exercise l|istian charity towards Cat holies.

JJIE Commune is virtually suppressed and the Versailles Assembly stands dimitted for the Republic, but there a strong grounds for tears that the peoj, disgusted with the excesses of the enmune, may seek the preservation claw and order in tho embrace of ttiarchy. There is but ono straight, best road now for the people ot luce. That road leads to the establiment of the Republic and the protiion of the lives, liberty and property il the peeple.

physicians ot New York have Hi discussing during the week the vlderfui monstrosity, the living twolfled baby from Ohio. Up to the tfc we go to press the only eonclusjarrived at by the learned doctors i^at the child is1 unique—a conclugjin which all scientific men must c4nr.

THE Senate has been very unhappy in its vain eflbrt to preserve its dignity from the encroachments of the newspapers. It is time that Senators, and all public officials, should know that there is a power in America stronger than Congress, or President, or the whole government combined. That power is the Press. It is the able advisor and defender of the people. It is often corrupt, otten dishonest—yet in the aggregate it nearly always right. One newspaper may be led from the path of right, but its influence is immediately destroyed a thousand journals rise up and condemn it. More and more the press of America becomes the representative of the conscience of the people. It thrives on truth and courage it dwindles to nothingness when it barters its influence. The secret of the incorruptibility of our leading journals lies not in the fact that their editors are better or more conscientious than other men of equal attainments, but in the. fact that it pays to be honest and courageous in journalism, and that anjr other course is ruinous. Tho managers of a great newspaper are as jealous of its reputation as is a woman of her virtue. The Press ot America is a keen,conscientious and profound tribunal before which men and measures are fairly tried. Woo to the public man who sneers at its influence or underrates its power.

TIIE Express should be more careful in its statements. It says that tho MAIL has "opened war, in vigorous style, to eliminate the Bible from the schools, "knowing and admitting that if the "movement should prove successful, "the schools would still be just as objectionable to those of our citizens who have made any troublo about them." The MAIL has admitted nothing of the kind. It has admitted that tho priests and zealots of the Roman Catholic Church are in favor of sectarian schools, and also that they prefer that the Protestant Biblo should be read in tho public schools because it gives them such an excellent reason for insisting that the children of their church shall attend none but Catholic schools. It should be understood right hero that the persons who are opposed to Bible-reading in tho public schools are those Catholics, Jews and liberal Protestants who are most ardent friends of the common schools, and who desire them to bo elevated to a plane higher and broader than is occupied by any sect, creed or branch of faith.

\NOTHEK colossal railroad enterprise is projected by the Pennsylvania Central Company. The magnates of this corporation, who own the Union Pacific Railroad, have determined to inako the latter road entirely independent of the Central Pacific. They propose to

do thin by building- road from

the

terminus of tho Union Pacific, at Ogden, to Puget Sound. With tho immense capital at the control of the Pennsylvania operators the execution of this bold and brilliant idea will bo accomplished within a very short time as compared with the previous history of railroad enterprises. Before slowgoing capitalists have realized that any such movement is in progress, Mr. Scott will have his thousand miles of road finished and will enjoy to tho fullest extent the amazement and alarm ot the Central Pacific at such unexpected and extraordinary competition. It is time to seo about tho crowning ot a Railroad King in America. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Tom Sijott nro candidates for tho seat of royalty. At present rate of progress Scott will win.

JAPAN is anxious for a higher civilization, and within tho last few years has made considerable progress toward its attainment. According to Gov. Ito, Assistant Minister of Finance, who has been in this country several weeks studying our system of finance, this wish dates from tho time of tho Japanese expedition, when, listening to tho advice of the United States representatives, Japan consented to open her ports to foreign trade. Previous to this, the people of Japan thought they had reached the highest civilization but intercourse taught them their mistake, and they began to study thatof Europe and America. Vrom small beginnings a great advance has been made, and now the most capable men of Japan aro studying and cxaming the financial, postal, and railroad systems of Europe and the United States. Tho policy of Japan is in strong contrast with that of China. While China is contented with ideas a thousand years old, Japan is sifting new ones, aiuladoptingtho most advanced.

THE Erpre** favors the authoritative reading of the King James translation of the Biblo in the Terre-Hauto public schools because it seems to satisfy lie great mass of the people."

THE Communists crowned their short rule in Paris with an act so infamous" that men shudder when they speak of it. The Archbishop of Paris, Georges DArboy, a man of noblo character and blameless life, and nearly fifty priests, were massacred at the Mazas 1 Prison 011 Tuesday night. Beside this crime of the Communists the destruc- 1 tion of the Tuilleries, and the Louvre with all its treasures of art—if it has been destroyed—sink into insignificance. Civilization has looked upon nothing so cruel and heartless since the sainted Nuns of Montmartre walked the same road, and met Heaven through the ministrations of the knife, eighty years ago.

MR. YOORHEES has not yet been heard from. It is thought that he is giving the subject of the new depart-1 ure his prayerfiil attention. If any one could just show him that a negro ever carved a statue, or wrote an epic poem, or patented a sausage grinder, 5 he wouldn't mind keeping Val. company.
