TWO NEWHPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

THE Battle of the Boyne, which was fought over again in the streets of New York on Wednesday, took place upon the banks of the river Boyne, in Ireland, on the 12th of July, 1690. William the Third of England, (Prince of Orange,) at the head of a combined force representing nearly every Protestant kingdom ol Europe, including (ierman auxilaries, the Scotch Guards, French Huguenots, and the best troops of England tried but recently at Newton Butler and Londonderry, commanded thirty-six thousand men. James II., last Catholic King of England, father-in-law of the Prince of Orange, had returned from France to lead his Irish subjects and French auxiliaries in a crusade to regain his throne. He had under his command about thirty thousand men, principally raw and undisciplined Irish peasantry. William was wounded seriously early in the day, yet full of the heroism which marked him in that age as the most remarkable man in the world, he retained his saddle to the end of the conflict. Macaulay says of him "One "of the most remarkable peculiarities "of this man, ordinarily so saturnine and reserved, was that danger acted "on him like wine, opened his heart, loosened his tongue, and took away all appearance of constraint from his manner." The battle amounted to little more than a general stampede of the Irish forces, and was hardly more bloody than its continuation in the streets of New York on Wednesday. The experienced troops of William charged through the waters of the Boyne into the midst of the untrained Irish peasantry who took to their heels and ran. Richard Hamilton, at the head of some excellent Irish cavalry, relieved the ^monotony of the day's cowardice, so ftir'as thft army of James waa concerned, by heroism and bravery it 11 parallelled beforo in European warfare. Tyrconnell, an inexperienced soldier, commanded the Catholic forces. Schotnberg, commander of William's (ierman auxiliaries, then the first sol dier of Europe, was killed in this action. Walker, Bishop of Derry, a faithful friend of William, was also killed at the Boyne. James sneaked away to Dublin when he saw that the tide of battle was against him. The next day, while the disordered remnant of his followers was pouring into the Irish capital, he took leavo of Ireland forever. With characteristic ingratitude ho abused the friends who had so loyally supported him. Ho had oflen, ho said, been warned that Iiishmen, however well they might look, would never acquit themselves well on the field of battle and he had now found that the warning was but too true. He added: "I will never command an "Irish army again. I must shift for myself and so must you." This slander upon the courage of the Irish peoplo has been refuted upon a hundred battle-fields of Europe and America since that day.

The result of the Battle of the Boyne intensified the pre-existing hatred between the Catholics and Protestants of Ireland. Alout a century later, secret societies began to make themselves felt on the side of the Catholic Irishmen, through associations called "The

Defenders," or Ribbonuien." To counteract these societies "Thelioyal "Orange Institution,"composed exclusively of Protestant defenders ol the reigning house of England, was organised. From this old enmity grew the useless and criminal riot in New York on Wednesdav.

A PAX is reaching for a higher civili*atlon. Eight hundred picked men, two from each of the four hundred provinces of the empire, are to be sent to travel through Europe and the I'nited States to acquire by observation and experience a knowledge of the arts of civilization. Nor is this all. We hear little of the establishment of American schools for Japanese youth in Japan yet such schools must exist, else there would be little use for the very large quantity of school books which are constantly shipped from this country to Japan. Such consignments are sent by every steamer, and in quantities so large that it is no exaggeration to say that many tons of dictionaries, sden-

SENATOR TRUMBULL in his Fourth of July speech at Galesbarg, 111., «poke earnestly in favor of Woman Suffrage, and pledged himself to support all measures for woman's enfranfthtotfttrtit when she asks the ballot. It ta |m»bA ble that the distinguished SenAtolf dW not intend to create the impression that he would do nothing for the cattle totttil woman herself takes the leftd til thV movement, yet it is likely that her complete enfranchisement will never be accomplished until a majority of American women are numbered among its advocates.

Hence it becomes the duty of the intelligent women of the country to study this question well, and to be able to present reasonable arguments for or against it. It is disgraceful to American womanhood that so many women are bitter and uncompromising opponents of the enfranchisement of their sex without being able to present a single intelligible reason for their position. Among the advocates of the movement are many of the most distinguished men and women now living, and nearlv every reformer and philanthropist of any note in the world, yet the very silliest women are always prepared with a sneer for the advocates of Woman Suffrage. They see nothing indelicate in half-naked attire for the ballroom, intended to arouse the lascivious passions of men, yet they see every thing that is immodest in the demand of their sisters for political and civil equality with men. They never feel a blush of shame when realizing that the social law of to-day declares that woman was made for no higher purpose than to be a convenience for man, but they are overwhelmed with horror at the idea of her asking fame, profit or distinction in an avocation formerly monopolized by man. They worship at the feet of a leader of fashion who never had an idea above dress and the art of beautifying herself, while they sneer at Miss Burdett Coutts, Mrs. Livermore and Anna Dickinson, ladies who have glorified womanhood, and won immortal tame.

There is no woman in America so silly as to affirm that women are as happy or contented as men. Neither is there one wlio will declare that the Creator intended one sex to be more unhappy than the other. Upon the basis of these two admitted facts we found the proposition that there is a wrong in our social system which bears heavily upon woman, and there is 110 duty more imperatively demanded from womanhood than to seek and remedy that wrong. She cannot hide from the responsibility. She must work out to a great extent, her own enfranchisement.

THE Orange demonstration !ti New York on Wednesday was foolish, impolitic, and unnecessary, just as all celebrations in America of the triumph of one monarchical aspirant over another, or of one sect over another, are foolish and impolitic. Wo havo no sympathy with expressions of Old World hates and aminosities. In the battle of the Boyne, Protestant England, under William Prince of Orange, secured a final and enduring triumph over Catholic England and Ireland, fighting under the standard of James II., tho legitimate sovereign. This nearly two centuries ago. Now what good could come as the result of the celebration by tho Irish Protestant population of New York of tho anniversary of that battle? Such a celebration was only intended to worry and annoy and aggravate tho Irish Catholics. And yet tho legal right of the Orangemen to peacefully celebrate the Twelfth of July was as clear as the right of Christians to celebrate the 2.»Lh of December, or of Catholics to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The surrender of the authorities of the city of New York to the mobocrats was a cowardly surrender. tJreat evil has been done to the Catholic church by the lawless and senseless conduct of the Irish societies of New York. It is tho misfortune of this chureh to attract the concentrated enmity of all other denominations in America, and it is unfortunate in the extreme that unthinking Catholics have given to the enemies of their church such excellent grounds upon which to base renewed hatred to that sect. It will avail noththat the Archbishop and priesthood of New York did their utmost to quell all anti-Orange demonstrations. Public sentiment, nearly always blind and prejudiced, will insist upon holding the Catholic church responsible for the intolerance and excesses of the Twelfth of July.

The exercise of a very little Christian charity by either of the parties to this difficulty would have prevented all the trouble which has grown from the agitation of this question. It is strange that members of Christian churches deem It apart of their religious duty to hate, revile, and persecute each other.

THESE is no idea connected with honor among men so erroneous as the prevalent practice required by a depraved public sentiment, of resenting personal insults with fists or weapons. Society, which would feel grievously offended il it were stigmatised as unchristian or uncivilised, brands as a coward the man who permits another, be he great or small, to apply offensive terms or epithets to him. It ignores completely that declaration of a truth, sound as the Golden Rule, that a gentleman will not insult a fellow creature, and that the insults of one who is not a gentleman are unworthy of notice. A leading citieen, a member in good standing of an orthodox church, once said to the writer of this article: "I would rather see my boy anything than a coward. I tell him to resent "every insult offered him if he gets thashed, all right I would rather see "him whipped fifty times than know that he has shown the white feather "once." Now this fond father was certain that his son could heal his wounded honor in no waj' save by giving or receiving a black eye or broken nose. A very beautiful and amiable lady once said that she could not help feeling contempt for a gentleman who had permitted another man to call him a liar. Yet the gentleman insulted had been a soldier, and in a dozen battles had won the reputation of a brave man. The individual who offered the insult bore, among all who knew him, the reputation of a confirmed sot and com mon scoundrel. It is time for society to rise up and condemn the Order of Fisticuffs, the Kniebts of the Black Eyes and Broken Jfoses.

TJIE following document has been circulated in New York city, and signed by thousands of people:

In view of recent and probable future events, the immediate organisation of a Society, to be known as the Protestant League of America, the headquarters In New York city, with auxiliary societies throughout the United States, is recommended. For this purpose, and properly to consider the immediate event that gives rise to this suggestion, let public meetings be called at once in this city and elsewhere. The claims of Roman Catholicism are fast becoming incompatible with civil and religious lib erty."

A meeting was held in Indianapolis on Thursday evening to effect a similar organization. It is an attempt to revive the infamous anti-Catholic Know Nothing society of 1854. We warn all good citizens against participating in this movement. The Catholic priesthood of New York did their utmost to prevent the riot of Wednes day. Their church is not chargeable with the crimes of the Irish Societies, but even il it is so chargeable,there can be 110 reason for organized enmity to Qatholics who are powerful nowhere in the country outside of New York, where tho demonstration of Wednesday was suppressed by the authorities. The Catholics of Terre-Haute, for instfWK'o. number less than one-tenth of the population. How cowardly and ridiculous would seetn an organization of Protestants here against so small a minority of the population

WOMAN'S true sphere, say the old fogies of to-day, is as a wife and mother. But what, we ask, is to becomo of the one-half of the mature women of the country who are unmarried, and of the same proportion which must remain unmarried? Are they to pass their time in unavailing longings for a coining man, or shall they seek the labor best fitted to them, and go forth to SOITO tho riddle of their own destiny as men do It is impossible to have more married women than men in the country so long as the laws insist upon monogamy, and hence we hardly see why it is a more absorbing duty of woman, than of man, to marry.

IXTOI.KKANCK and brutish arrogance have received a quietus in New York. The Irish rioters will hardly make another attempt soon to crush tho liberties of tho Orangemen of that city. It is not necessary to seek improper and selfish motives for the conduct of (Governor Hoffman. It is enough to know that I10 did his whole duty manfully. If his presidential prospects have been marred by his course on Wednesday his recompense will be a warmer place in the hearts of all his countrymen who love liberty and honor our institutions.

IT is said that our Minister to St. James, Hon. Robert SchencK, nan cut the (Jordian knot of "court-dress" by determining to wear his Major (feneral's uniform at the public receptions in England. But General Schcnck is not now an officer in the 1'nited States army, and if he were, it would be impossible for him, under the laws of this country, to hold civil office. So it wAuld seem that there are many inconsistencies in his present position upon the important question of "court•'dress."

FBANCK, as a Republic, is the nucleus of revolutionary action In Europe. Her example will not fail to spread as In 1S4«. If the world is better, as we fondly believe it is, this example may end in the speedy success of Republican institutions in Central Europe.

THE lamented accident by which one of our best and foremost dtisena inflicted a fatal wound upon himself this morning is yet another warning against the practice of carrying and handling pistols. It is estimated that where one person is able to defend himself or preserve his life by carrying such weapons, twenty am killed or injured by their accidental discharge. Four or five persons were shot, and one fatally, in the foolish attempt to illustrate the manner ot Mr. Vallandigham's death. There can be no positive safety from iiyury to any man who carries fire arms about his person.

MANY plucky reporters of the New York papers had themselves sworn in on Wednesday as special patrol men,and marched in the procession in two platoons immediately in front of the Orangemen. Each carried a club, and when the troops returned the fire of the mob, the reporters not only maintained their ground in spite of bullets whistling about their heads, but did good service in repelling the mob on their flanks.

THE telegraph parades the fact that somebody in Indianapolis telegraphed Governor Hoffman during the riot offering to furnish one thousand men to aid in suppressing it. Governor Hoffman is not the Chief Executive of the United States, and hence be could not have accepted volunteers from another State to aid in quelling an insurrection in his own. The Indianapolis warriors took the wrong plan to get into service.

NOT a single brave man showed himself among the rioters in New York on Wednesday. The insurgents were all sneaks, hiding behind chimneys and projections, and innocent persons. This is not remarkable. The animating principle of all mobs is cowardice —an effort of the strong to overcome the weak.

IT is probable that not one in one hundred of the New York rioters knew anything about the battle of the Boyne, or the merits of the contest between William and James.

A CONSTITUTIONAL amendment conferring suffrage upon woman is to be submitted to a vote of adult persons of both sexes in Nebraska.

OF POTTS-

I11 Pottsville, when anything happens the people consider that a religiousduty devolves upon them to hold a meeting, and to pass resolutions upon it, and so strong has this habit become that some citizens of the pluce, whenever a break-fast-bell rings, call a meeting of the family, elect officers, and resolvo to go down" stairs and eat the meal. The other day, a woman fell into a canal, and sank. A large crowd of men were standing upon the bank at the time, and they instantly proceeded to organize a meeting for the express purpose ot devising means for rescuing tho woman. After a spirited debate, a man named Collins was elected chairman and, 011 taking his seat, Mr Collins not only thanked the meeting very warmly for tho complimont ofiered him, but he made along speech, in which he discussed the tariff, the coal product for 1871, and the Alabama claims. Aseries of resolutions were then offered, and, after a prolonged discussion, and the acceptance of several amendments, they were passed. They embraced a protest against the depth of the canal, regrets that all women are not taught to swim and a resolve to rescue tho

articular woman who had fallen overA committee of one was ap-

brought the woman to the surfaco by her hair. Just then it occurred to him that he had not been ordered to bring her to the shore so he let her sink again, and swam to the bank to report progress and ask for further instructions. Action was taken on tho report, and after an exciting discussion he was directed to land the woman immediately. He dived again and dragged her out. None of tho women in Pottsville can hold their breath more than an hour and an half at a time, so when this one was recovered, sho was dead. Tho meeting said it was sorry, but it was vastly more important that things should be done decently and in ordor, and according to rule, than that the life of a woman should be saved. The woman hasn't expressed her views yet.

extract is from Biddle's eulogium on Jefferson:— There lies in tho depths of every heart, that dream of our youth, and the chastened wish of manhood, which neither cares nor hopes can ever extinguish, the hope of one day resting from the

Their domestic relations were not of the most pleasant nature. A week or two ago, the man loaded hi« family and household goods into his wagon and started for Kansas. Th*e or four days afterward, tho wife returned to a family on Fifth street, in a truly pitiable condition, having walked from seven miles beyond Paris, Illinois, where, she stated, her husband had whipped her in tho most brutal manner, compelling her to leave him and the children and take (tare of herself. He then continued his journey westward, and she returned to her old home and is now earning her bread by the sweat of her bitw, while her husband, as she has reason to believe, is seeking the pleasures of life with the wife of another mart.
