O SMITH,

'I* EDITOR AND PROPRIETORS

Office, 142 Main Street.

TERRE-HAUTE. JUNE 34, 1871.

SECOND EDITION. With Supplement.

The present number closes the first year of the SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. It has been prosperous in this year, and we desire to thank the public which has given it generous support. Its publisher has labored hard to make the MAIL acceptable to the general public, and he thinks that in the main he has succeeded. He is aware that its course has not been fully approved by all its readers, yet he recognizes the fact that an intelligent people has long since ceased to expect or desire the public journals to echo and reflect merely the surface sentiment of the country. The MAIL follows the Right,

as God gives

it to see the Right," and while its vision may not always be reliable.it hopes ever to see the lesson of Christian charity and tolerance applied to public issues not less than to private intercourse. This has been its governing principle during the year which has closed, and while some of its ideas may have seemed Utopian it re.nains steadfast in the belief that all good things are possible in this good age which has come upon us.

We mail ten thousand extra copies of this issue, for free distribution, to various postoflices in this vicinity. We trust that every person who receives copy will read it carefully and forward a subscription if the general appoarance, and quality and quantity of reading matter is approved.

The MAIL is an Independent, not

Neutral, weekly newspaper. It will discuss all questions of a public character, but its management will be entirely Iree from partisan bias.

It is not a rehash of a daily paper, all tho reading matter in its columns being set up exclusively for it.

Resides a large quantity of very carefully selected reading matter, it will contain a concise report of tho leading markets of tho country, including live stock markots, uinl a oomplcte sutiima ry of all the important news of the ,-eek.

Our First Edition, for mail subscribers, goes to press on Thursday ol each week, in tiino to reach ail postoflices within fifty miles of Terre-Haute by aturday, tho date of publication.

A noM.v.NTIE Western newspaper brings us accounts of tho execution of a Choctaw Indian who was convii ted of having committed a murder. The singularity of the case was that the murderer requested a respite of twenty days, in which to visit and bid farewell to various relatives and friends residing at a distance. The request was granted, the prisoner departed but at the expiration of the twenty days returned at the hour appointed and dedelivered himself into the hands of his executioners, who shot him dead with a good deal of serene hilarity, tlie culprit himself seeming to enjoy the joke and measuring himself beforehand in the eoflin. Now here's richness for you! This enthusiastic savage is thehigest type of Chivalry. He had cut some other Indian's little heart out, you know, and then he confessed his crime and got his Airlough to go off and have fun with his relatives and friends before the final departure. This reminds us of the old, heroic days. And yet— and vet—wo must say that that Choctaw had perverted ideas of fun and cheerfulness. We luil to understand his eccentricities fully. It may be that he got his false ideas of humor by reading the London comic journals, or it is possible that he liecame mixed in the vain, effort to unravel the free trade question. What caused his eccentricities will remain a mystery we must still insist, however., notwithstanding our admiration for his pluck, that he had poor ideas of fun.

TIIK Karl Ie CJrey and Ripon has been made a Marquis as a recognition of his great services in tho negotiation of the treaty of Washington. America should confer extra rewards upon her he roe* who maintained her honor unsullied in the Joint High Commission. President Grant should buckle a garter upon the muscular leg of General .Schenck. and Senator Williams should be brevetted to the grade of Grand Old High Jointer. The heroes of that Maryland fox hunt should not be forgotten. The men who rode their carriage horses so boldly and well in that chase nineteen times around the farm house at Suit lands have earned the gratitude of the nation. They should be granted permission to hunt without price in the nation's great parks of the Rcckv Mountains.

GKKKRAL CLUSKRKT is not dead after all. and the obituaries referring t« hitn have been wasted.

Tr?**

THE closing of our city schools the present week, leads us to place before cur readers some thoughts on the school question. The teachers of our schools have, so far as we have beard I given general satisfaction during the present term. True, there has been I some complaint, as there always is, in the best regulated schools in the country but we will ventnre that in every instance of expressed dissatisfaction, the cause would have been discovered to bo a groundless one, if the parents had made in vestigations. It is the duty of parents to visit the schools, and see for themselves how they are conducted They are the people's schools, and surely the people should manifest a proper interest in their management.

But would it not be well to inquire why it is that after all we do in pro viding free schools, so large a per centage of children avoid them, especially anions those classes who, more than all others, need to profit by their instructions? Do we give the children all that they or their parents can properly demand and do we surround the schools with such attractions as will induce parents to send their children there at all hazards, and induce the children at all hazards to go? To our mind, school system designed for all classes is not perfect until it suggests to children not to play the truant from school, but, if need be, to play the truant from home and the streets in order to attend school.

We admit that the schools have been changed since the old well-retneniber-ed times, when bare walls, ill-aired and cramped school rooms, torturing seats, droning teachers, drowsy tasks and ridiculous regulations, rendered anything but ridiculous to pupils by the rod, were the. distinguishing features of schoolboy life. But even at this day, it is a marvel how much is done to drive, and how little to draw children— what adroit devices are used for squeezing or frightening work out of little reprobates, and how few sympathetic efforts are made to awaken their curiosity and interest. We do not pretend, of course, that every public school can be made a "Kindergarten," or that the rough young "cubs" sometimes offered lor nurture can be "licked" into shape by the mere application of the tongue—so doing away with the ferule. But what wo mean to say is that, in many a school, the repulsive in discipline has so much the hotter of the attractive that the chief anxiety of the pupils is to escape from school room. We never have been able to see what there was in fine engravings so heinous as to procure their banishment from the school room, or paintings that they should be prohibited from covering the bleak walls where monotony is only broken by the stealthily cast wad of paper, or the tracks of the irreverent Jly. Books or pictures within, ivy qjr other trailers without, flowers ac the windows—what harm is there in these and all tho myriad decorations which children of a larger growth employ to adorn their homes, and often even their shops and offices In the cities, schoolhouses are usually fine buildings, but in the country they are generally shabby makeshifts. Add object teachings, the free use of illustrations, and the modern appliances for awakening interest, and cease to count the day's progress by the number of words one has extorted from recitations, and teaching will be easier and better both for pedagogue and pupil.

THK Golden Age thinks it significant that tho crowd did not cheer when President Grant walked 011 board the steamer Daniel Drew, on the Hudson, recently. We are fur from thinking that the approbation of the populace, as shown in noisy cheers, is any evidence of greatness in the individual cheered. Washington did not always attract the applause of the masses thero were times when the common people seemed entirely indifferent to him. Andrew Johnson, on the other hand, whose name will not occupy so important a niche in the country's history as that of Grant, rarely appeared in public without attracting the plaudits of the people. President Grant is an undemonstrative man. There is none of the fuss and feather disposition in his composition. He does not labor to arouse the enthusiasm of the crowd, and it is probably really distr.steful to him.

THE Bloomficld Tribune is out in a long editorial supporting Samuel J. Wright, ol Harrison county, for the Republican nomination for Auditor of State, election in October 1S72. Doubtless Samuel J. Wright is a good man, but tho MAIL proposes to support Col. Theophilus R. P. Ilostetter of Bean Blossom county, lor tho Auditorship. Col. T. R. P. H. is an immensely popular and thoroughly well-known citizen, and the popular heart will never be satisfied until his name shines with undimmed effulgenoe upon the Republican State ticket. We are authorized to say that, while Col. Hostetter does not desire the nomination, he will yield gracefully to the Macedonian crv" if it conies to his ear. There is immense enthusiasm in this office concerning Col. T. R. P. II.'s nomination. Will not the press and the people of the Stato join us in trumpeting bi« good points?

FOR a man to associate with a depraved woman is considered a crime in ail municipalities. Suppose that all women were to be fined for associating with lewd men. This w«uld look like justice, yet it would impose legal penalties upon many ladies for intimacy with their own hnsbands.

TERRE-HAPTE SATURDAY EVENING MAll- JUNF. 2i 1871.

THE London Times thinks that the settlement of the misunderstandings of America and England by arbitration is one of the most wonderful occurrences of the century. It surely is the most significant. These governments are now pledged to the policy of peace. They have demonstrated that war is as useless and unnecessary as it is cruel and barbproi!&. Standing as they do, in the advance of the earth's progress, 'they are well able to maintain the position that Christian civilization means more than the intellectual elevation of nations—that it means humanity, brotherhood, peace! We trust that the policy of the English-speaking world hereafter will be to engage in no wars except to resist invasion or rebellion. The bravery and honor of Englishmen and Americans does not require bloody vindication. If there be merit in brute courage the soldiers of Great Britain and the soldiers of America have had their fill of glory. It is safe to estimate that one-half of tho able-bodied men of America have been under the fire of hostile guns, and that one in every six carries an honorable scar. Amef icans know better perhaps than any other people how costly and unsatisfactory are the honors of war—how meagre is glory's recompense for devasted fields, wasted revenue, ruined towns and cities, crushed and mangled bodies, protracted agony, useful lives snapped short of the meridian, and broken hearts! There is 110 sense in war. Ii is a gigantic relic of barbarism as much out of place in the light of this good age as would be the guillotine doing its fiendish work in the midst of a harvest-home festival.

It is really a question, which able and humane statesmen, should determine without prejudice of past policy or false sentimentality, whether or not a nation is compelled to protect its citizens abroad—whether it is compelled to insure the lives and property of its citizens wherever they may travel. England waged two or three wars for this purpose, and it is her boast that an Englishman cannot travel so far, or to points so obscure, that the strong arm ol his government will not protect him. It is not evideut now that inconsequence of this policy Englishmen are treated with greater consideration in remote parts ot the world than the citizens of other nations who have been less zealous in protecting their citizens. This proposition would seem to be logical—that the poliof a civilized nation should bo to protect all citizens and strangers alike within its borders, and to wage no wars for tho preservation of citizens who wander into foreign countries. It. is unreasonable to wage wars and expend blood and treasure because one person has been ill-treated. In the recent Abyssinian war, England had no alternative but to fight, as her minister sent by her ,ow"n orders,was imprisoned and threatened with death. This was oneof those rare cases when, topreservethelifeof an individual, a nation was compelled to make war.

America is thoroughly sick of war. She has witnessed it but recently in all its hideousness. She is paying jret for the carnival of blood in enormous taxation, and in an unsettled and disordered condition of society consequent upon the military upheaval. Thousands of promising young men were made loafers and vagrants, and other thousands criminals, by that trying ordeal. The administration has been true to its policy of peace. Tho nation should bo so true to that policy in the hereafter as to bring about in the course of time a state of feeling which will condemn war in the future as completely as it hns approved it in the past. 1 elo-

THE following Congressional quenco of the cloud-scaring kind, emanated in the brain of Mullins, a Tennessee member of Congress: "I will "stand here, Mr. Speaker, imtil the "angel Gabriel snaps his last gun. I "will stand here till the red ants carry "me out pieee-meal through the key"hole. I will stand here until the "archangel fires the crack of doom amid the wreck of matter and a crush "of boards, apd Asia tumbles into Afriea, leaving the polar star to gleam "like the eye of Satan upon a mighty "void of collateral chaos." Mr. Mullins intends to stay where he is. He don't intend to take any new departure.

THE enemies of woman's advancement assert that it is a very indelicate thing for a woman to educate herself as a physician and practice medicine. They do not think it indelicate for her to attend to the most disgusting duties of the sick room as a nurse, but she has lost her modesty entirely if she witnesses a dissection or attempts to tftndy the mysteries of anatomy. Tho fkctisthat there will never be proper attendance in sickness in the world until there are as many futnnine as masculine doctors.

THE Covington (Ind.) People's Friend gushes concerning Jell' Davis in this style:

We give to

our

readers this week I he

speech of Hon. Jefienson Davis, which we indorse to the letter. To-day, he Is under ban to-morrow, lie— phceiiix-like—arises front the ashes ol a ruined republic, and dares to assert Ills rights—the freedom of speech, the right of trial by jury,

habeas cor-

])im, the principles of '70, the overthrow of of tea in Boston Harbor, and espouses tho cause of La Fayette! Baron Steuben Pulaski! and a lot of other patriots who fought for liberty in opposition to tyranny.

THE Mobile Register, a violent rebel newspaper, attempts to prove to the negroes that they were emancipated by the white people of tho South, because the emancipation proclamation of President Lincoln was brought about by the hard fighting of the Southern* troops. The same kind of argument would prove that Judas who betrayed Christ, and Pontius Pilate who condemned him, were really his best friends.

A DEMOCRATIC paper thinks it gets off a good thing 011 negro incapacity in telling that certain colored brothers in Arkansas, having got possession of somo land, have secured "Heathen Chinee labor to till it. If true, the instances only shows the adaptability of Sambo to the highest form of civilization, which consists in getting somebody else to do ono's work.

MRS. LAURA D. FAIR can hardly escape the penalty of her crime, Tho laws of California do not permit tho Governor to interfere only in an abso lnte pardon—a power which he will hardly dare to exercise in the present state of public feeling in San Francisco.

THE "drummer" system has been abandoned by several of the largest wholesale houses of Chicago, which propose hereafter to employ tho newspapers in communicating with their cus tomers. A very sensible conclusion

GAMBEITA will return to France soon. Il he could join his enthusiasm and love of liberty with the practical ideas of a Grant or Sherman, he would be able to establish a universal republic throughout Europe inside of fivo years.

PRESIDENT GRANT will start on his trip to California alxuit the 15th of August. All the memliers of the Cabinet will accompany him. He will bo absent five weeks. Ho will not visit Oregon, as has been stated.

BOSTON js often sneered at, yet Boston gives tone tb civilization. Christendom lewis civilization America leads Christendom New England leads America Boston leads New Knglarld. Ain't this clear

WHAH'S BLAH? We haven't heard yet from the Missouri Senator on the subject of tho new departure. Is possible that he, too, will basely acquiesce in the inevitable

THR enforcement of the Sunday liquor law has pfoved a failure in Chicago. The Common Council oonld not stand up before the threats of the sovereigns of the slums.

ADAM Fuss fell from a cherry free and broke his ncek near Kvansville, on Monday. The Jtvantville papers are sorry that they can't have Adam Fuss any more.

IT is a most significant fact that since the war the public debt of the United State* has been reduced as much as the debt of England was reduced in fiftyfive years.

.J***,

IT is said that the colored people of South Carolina do not accept the situation, and that they do not propose to give their consent to white suffrage in that State. They are shockoil at the idea of civil, political and social equality being- thrust upon them. They are sure, if this thing goes on much longer, that there will be great danger of their daughters marrying whito men. Besides, they have discovered that there is an odor about white men which is very disgusting when thrown in close proximity with them at tho polls. As, soon as Mr. Jefferson Davis and Mr. Daniel W. Voorhees succeed in repealing the 15th amendment, tho colored people of South Carolina will rid them- •$ selves of the incubus of white suffrage. They will fall back upon their dignity as the superior race, and disfranchise the whites. They will do this principally out of kindness and consideration for the whites who can only be injured or exterminated by being thrown in contact with the dominant race.

THE colored peoplo of Kentucky? have just organized a society with tho object of aiding those on whom outrages have been committed by Ku Klux and other enemies. Tho design is to raise a largo sum of money, to enable the sufferers to carry their cases before the United States courts. The first meeting was held a few nights ago, in Lexington, and, from tho groat success attending it, it is thought that it will be followed by many more. This is a good movo 011 the part o.' the colored people, and its law-abiding spirit will gain for them the good wishes"of lovers ot justice everywhere.

THE JOWS, as a religious body, art* olten accused of being exclusive, formal and lifeless. A recent editorial in the Hebrew News goes far to disprove this idea, and affirms that tho most intellectual and advanced among them feel tho need of preachers who shall apply themselves not alone to tho preservation of Judaism, but to. the preservation from sin and temptation of tho whole human race. This is libo!ality which breathes more of the right spirit than many Christian denominations do,and, in this respect at least, both Gentile and Christian would do well to learn of the Israelites.

THE purchase system will soon be abolished in tho English army, after which merit and ability, not money, will procure commissions in (he British military service.
