Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Thursday Evening, has a large circulation among farmers and others living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city. Every Week's Issue is, in fact,

FATE OF THE PROGRESSIVES. The path of progress and reform has ever been a rugged one. Few earthly flowers have grown beside it, but many thorns to lacerate the flesh. None but bruised and bleeding feet have ever trodden it. The way winds up under scorching suns and over jagged rocks to a rest which is rarely of earth. It is hard to work lor the good of men while they disown and scorn and deride you. Yet this is the work of the reformer. This has been the labor of Wendell Phillips, the first apostle of the good progress of to-day. It was the fate of all the anti-slavery agitators to be reviled and abused and condemned for a labor of pure philanthropy. John Brown gave his life gladly for the sake of the poor black people. Lincoln, after withstanding all manner of abuse, calumny and virtuperation, was martyrized for Freedom's sake. Back of the persecutions of our own anti slavery agitators, how brightly the reformers of old stand out in history Toussaint L' Ouverture, greatest hero of the eighteenth century, if not of all time, was eaten by rats in an obscure prison of France where the hate of the First Consul had confined liirn Madame Roland, the intrepid child of the French Republic, was guillotined William the Silent suffered martyrdom for his devotion to the cause of the Dutch Republic Luther wearied with life a thousand timos while prosecuting the great Reformation Galileo, less courageous than iconoclasts have usually been, was compelled to hide within himselt knowledge of inestimable value to the world, and Columbus never gathored the fruits of his achievements. The apostles fared badly Paul's life was embittered by the enmity of his countrymen who looked upon him as a renegade, and ho died upon a oroan in with his faco to the East Peter was crucified with Paul James the Eldo^was beheaded by Agrlppa James the Less was stoned to death Andrew, after wearily traveling as a missionary through Scythia, Asia Minor, Thrace, Macedonia, and Achaia, Buffered martyrdom at the hands of the Roman proconsul at Patrae John was beheaded by Herod Antipas Philip withstood all manner of persecutions in Phrygia, and was crucified by Domitian, and Matthew suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia. The life of Christ is typical of nothing more positively than that he who does good must be prepared to withstand persecution. Blessed should bo that church, or that cause, which arouses the enmity of the conservative forces of society, for the condemnation of that conservatism is a sure indication of merit and goodness in the thing condemned. It needs a knightly heart to do the work of reform. And this is well. Better to livo no coward lifo better to stand with those who are re viled and calumniated than be classed with those who hang listlessly to the skirts of a craven conservatism. The path of the reformer is rough and rug ged, but it leads to the stare. He who travels it will be bruised by malice, and will thirst often for human sympathy but he will be conqueror in the end.

BY skillful manipulation and forced eon st ruction, the MA n, labors to show that we have advocated mob law. Those who have rend our articles from which the MAII, quote*, know that they advocated Just the reverse of what our uelghltor claims.—Jitprcu.

The MAIL, reprinted from the ErprcM two paragraphs in which it« editor ad vocated mob law. There was no "skill "ftil manipulation" or "forced construction." The language was plain and explicit. In one ca.se ho warned rebels that they would 1k maimed or killed if they attempted to peacefully celebrate rebel victories in the oth er he informed Catholics that Protestants would not be likely to look to the Statute book to protect them if they nsidered their rights imperilled. If o. editor of the /Erpre** did not intend to threaten mob law by such senti ments, will he be kind enough to tell us Just what he did mean?

IT is a habit of men to sneer at woman as vastly inferior intellectually to the masculine human and yet we cannot learn that women are inferior to men in any civil avocation where they have a lair start and equal opportunities. They teach as well as men they paint as well they are as eminent in sculpture they are as distinguished in the field of literature, and they are developing a standard of high, pure oratory almost unknown among men. The queens of history compare favorably with the kinga. England has had no greater sovereign then Elisabeth, and none better than Victoria. Give to woman opportunity in all the avocations of life, and she will rouse man to generous emulation which will lift both in the moral and intellectual scale.

Sf. GAMBETTA has recently declared that his country had two supreme needs: "To make France military, "and to educate her peasantry." He has, apparently, concluded that tbo first is the most pressing, and one to which the second may be postponed. It is now reported that he proposed to President Theirs a schome of military organization which meets with the approval of Gens. Faidherde and Chanzey, and with that of the Prince de Joinville and the Due d'Aumale, the elder members of the Orleans family. It is based on the German system—with which the French are just now strikingly enamored—and provides for compulsory service without exemption by purchase or substitute for a relatively shorter active service, and a longer term of liability to form part of the reserve. It would be better for France to depend upon the education of her peasantry rather than upon the development ot her army, to regain her lost place among the great powers. The nation which gives to its citizens greater freedom than any other in the world has no army. We refer, of course, to the United States. The power which stands next to America as a free government, England, has very insignificant military resources. In these good days it is not the power which owns the most soldiers or guns that accomplishes most. It is the country which protects best the liberties of its citizens, which is the most powerful auxiliary of peaceful civilization. The copimon schools of America are bringing about a silent revolution, more important than that which changed the religion of England with the accession of William and Mary, and more important than that which changed the American colonies into free and independent States. These schools herald the Enfranchisement of Mind. If France will but stake her prospects in the future upon the intellectual elevation of her masses, she will yet lead Europe more completely even than when the standard of the first Napoleon floated triumphantly over every capital of the continent. This is the era of peace. All the enduring triumphs of these days are bloodless. If Franco wastes her substance in preparing for future wars she will but prepare a rork upon which she will split in the years to come. Military success has been the bane of France. Every triumphant campaign of the past has welded the chains of a tyrant.

\NVICES from Italy report that Garibaldi is suffering more than ever from his wounds, is disabled from leaving his bed, and when an airing is necessary he is moved about in a hand car. Hero of South American revolution, defender of Romo against thewFrench iti chief of the "Hi*• tf the Alps the Austrian head of volunteers of the Tyrol in the GermanTtalian war of 1806, leader of the French partisans in the Vosges Mountains in the campaign of last year, "lame lion of "Caprera," fast friend of Freedom everywhere—this was Garibaldi. The stiong right arm, which has borno a sword never once dishonored in forty years of battles for the rights of man, is weak and powerless now. He was not the wisest of men, but truer manhood than bis has never been seen

the earth. His eyes before death see a free France and an united Italy, and looking upon these consummations he can know that his life has not been in vain. if

THE New York Sitn has discovered a new phase of the Sunday question in a case now before the New York Police Court. It seems that the windows of the Alanson Methodist Church in Norfolk street open upon a building where a number Jews are engaged in operating sewing machines. The machines are silent on Saturday, but 011 Sunday thej' make such a clatter that the Methodist are greatly annoyed by it. The employer of the operatives refuses to suspend work during the continuance of tho Methodist services, unless he is compensated for his loss of time. This compensation tho Methodists refuse to make, and have appealed to the Police Court for assistance. Now the legal question is, Can a Jew be made to observe the Christian Sabbath contrary to his own conscience? ft® 4

THK Cincinnati Gazctir proposes John M. Harlan, of Kentucky, as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Republican party. General Harlan has jusl finished an able and plucky canvass for the Governorship of Kentucky, and has come out of the campaign covered with laurels. The old sectional question does not figure largely now, yet it would be well for the Republican party to recognize the services of tboee Southern Radicals, who, through persecution and danger, have upborne the standard of that part v. r::

W understand the Erprc-t* to argue that Protestantism is the religion* of the United States, After it has succeeded in demonstrating the truth of its position we trust that it will go to work to prove that the world is flat and that it cannot revolve without people falling from it. It will be as easy to prove this as that one religion is entitled to more legal consideration in this country than another.

LAROE Republican gains in Kentucky. That State is not now so strongly !emocratic as Illinois is Republican. This is well. In Kentucky, alone, tho pro-slavery, negro-hating element of the Democratic party is dominant* Its majority now so reduced that it will hardly dare to make another campaign npon tbo old and renomdas issues.

WE have hoped for much from the labor movement, and we must acknowledge our disappointment at this platform adopted by the National Labor "Union" which has been in session in St. Louis during the week:

The rate of interest governs tbedistribution of products hence, the present rates aiethe cnief means of maintaining inequality of distribution. 2. A gold basis is a flillacy, invented by a speculative capital. 3. A national papr currency, convertible into bonds bearing a rate of interest below the annual increase of wealth, and receivable for all debts, public and private. 4. Abolition of the national banks. 5. Eight hours to be a day's labor. 6. Opposition to Chinese labor. 7. Money necessary for wars to be collected from the wealth of the country, and not funded into debts.

So long as the laboring men's organizations stand upon a platform containing such a tissue of absurdities as this they can make no substantial progress and will merit, as political organizations, only the contempt of the people. To try to regulate interest by law, and to establish a currency without a specie basis, are practical absurdities which will be denounced as such through all time by persons possessing a thimblefull of sound financial intelligence. Legislation declaring eight hours a day's labor will benefit the working man as much as would a law fixing the price of wheat at fifty cents a bushel. Opposition to Chinese labor proves the

National Labor Union" to be an organization for the oppression, and not for the protection, of working men.

SOME of the Russian newspapers do not seem to like the appeal made some weeks ago by the delegates of the Evangelical Alliance to Prince Gortschakoff, the Imperial Chancellor of Russia. One paper wants to know why the United States sends preachers to Russia to insult her, and calls the Evangelical delegates intermeddlers. Another admits that they may mean very well, but warns them that the Russians hate nothing more than foreign interference and a third paper re minds them that the very Lutherans ot the Baltic provinces, whose cause they espouse, and for whom they ask toleration, are themselves among the most intolerant of religious sects. A1 together these Evangelical delegates have been handled rather severely, and there is no probability that their appeal will be heeded.

"THK VICTORIA LKACUTK" is an organ izationin New York for the purpose of electing Mrs. Victoria C. Woodluill to the presidency of tho United States We have not felt disposed at any time to follow tho general example of the public'press in sneeringat and deriding Mrs. Woodhull. We have been rather disposed to believe Mr. Theodore Til ton, tho most honest journalist in America, who has assured the public that Mrs. Woodhull is a pure and good attempt, however, made by hereto seek an unnecessary notoriety wo must condemn as iurmod est and in bad taste, if not worse.

THE Pope has written a letter to the committee which has ofl'eindhim the title of Pins the Great, and a throne of gold. He refused to accept the propos ed title of honor during his lifetime, and suggested that the money which has been subscribed for the throne be employed in procuring tho exemption of students ot tho Catholic seminaries everywhere from military service. All of which proves that Pius has less selfishness than he has been credited with of late.

THK True Woman gives as one reason why woman should not vote, that the tongues of women are very nimble and very sharp: 1 he temptation to use them in political strife nt-every family meal during election time would be great.—Ex.

THE True Woman is not edited by a true woman, or it would not slander the sex by representing women as more quarrelsome and contentious than men.

THE Express argues that ours Is Protestant government. We are not informed how soon our neighbor will advocate a system of tithes, and other taxation for religious purposes or how soon it will demand a distribution of livings, benifices, advowsons, bish opries, and other perquisites of an established religion.

THE Alsatians do not seem to be so enamored with German government as Bismarck would make the world believe. The second municipal election was held in Strasbourg on Tuesday, and only KIT persons voted out of 11,00(1 who were legally qualified to do so. The conquered provinces do not kiss the rod lovingly as yet.

THE fight for the spoils of offlce between the Warmouth and Dunn factions of the Republican party in lyoiuiana grows more and more disgraceful. It would bo a blessing under the circumstances if the Democratic party should step in and carry off the State offices.

NATIONAL associations ati conventions are now in order. We hope to hear soon from the National Association for the Prevention of !andruff, the National Convention of the Owners of Strawberry Roan Horses, and the National Organ Grinder's Union.

A COTKMPORABY says that Mr. Hendricks is making preparations for the grave issues of the next political campaign. They will be very grave—especially if he finds a political tomb.

Wu notice ftnme of our exchanges speak o' Hon. Andrew Humphreys** nomible candidate for Conitrem.— Illoom/irici ItmwfrtU.

The Major General may be a possible candidate, but not a possible Congressman.

MR. LISCOLX received but 1,364 votes, oat of 92,210, in Kentucky in 1860.

HORACE GREELEY has disgraced him self. In response to some criticisms of the Golden Age upon his position con cerning the woman question he says that the presidential candidate of the Woman Suffragists should be a woman and adds:

Could you not And one who illustrates hei own personal history in what you so felicitously term ihis liberal, thought enlightened age Let her be one who has two husbands lives in the same house with them both, oc cupying tne same couch, bearing the name of either to indicate her impartiality, and the cause and the candidate will be so fitly mated that there will be no occasion, even under the most, liberal, progressive and enlightened reghne. to sue for divorce. Could not one of this class be persuaded to overbear her shrieking modesty and nominate herself?

Now when Horace Greeley intimates that an adulteress is the lit and proper presidential candidate of the advocates of Woman Suffrage he is guilty of ut tering a mean and unjust sentiment which will alienate from him thou sands of the best friends that he has ever known—friends who stuck to him closer than a brother in the greatest troubles of his life. The remark have quoted smacks of the Southern plantation style in the ante bellum days. Can it be that Mr. Greeley has become corrupted by his intimate association with the chivalry of the South

THE Cincinnati & Terre-Haute Rail road Company proposes to build a narrow gauge double track line from Cin cinnati to this city if sufficient encouragement is given to the enterprise, Some time since the city, through its common council, subscribed $100,0C3 to aid in the construction of the Terre Haute fc Bloomfield Railroad, which line seems to be a dead project. The proposed Cincinnati railroad will run through Lockport, pass near Bowling Green, through Spencer and Blooming ton, and will open to trade a district unsurpassed in the value of its timber iron, coal and stone by any section of the State. It will furnish a new com peting route to

Cincinnati and the East,

It will be of more actual benefit to the city of Terre-Haute than the proposed Bloomfield line. Under these circumstances the members of tho city coun cil will do their wholo duty by trans ferring the Bloomfield subscription to Gen. Hunter's road. In this opinion we seem to agree with nearly all the leading citizens of our place. Let tho council change the subscription we cannot have too many railroads.

THE Cincinnati Boax-d of Aldermen yesterday rejectee, by a vote of 12 to 11, the ordinance repealing the municipal Sunday laws. Four Republicans aud seven Democrats voted against rejection. Tho same body tabled by a vote of 13 to 9, a resolution requesting the Mayor to enforce the Sunday laws. This resolution was properly tabled because it should be understood as the duty of the Mayor to enforce all laws without instructions from the Aldermen or Councilmcn of 7

IN 18G8 Mr. Pendleton was tho prominent candidate for the Presidential nomination bofoie the National Democratic Convention, and his throat was cut by Mr. Hendricks. The latter gentleman bids fair to bo tho most prominent candidato in the convention of next year. Politicians can safely bet their bottom dollar that "Young Greenbacks" will slit the pharynx of the Indiana Talleyrand in that convention.

STATEMENTS have been made that general attack is to bo made on the Italian procession in Now York on the 2T»th. Why will Irishmen by throats of criminal intolerance give to their one mies such excellent grounds upon which to baso their hatred? All true Irishman should disown immediately the lawless Hibern'an roughs of New York who bring disgrace and dishonor to the C#ltic race. ,*1

FINDING THE LOST SHKKI\—Instead^ of taking a fashionable summer's va-r cation, Iti*v. James Hill of tho Asbury hargc, and Rev. James M. Greene, ot the Centenary charge, Terre-Haute, am# canvassing the city going from houso to house, irrespective ofdonominational predilections, and inquiring to what church, if any the the people go. On«r result is that they find eight persons t»? every one hundred families, wlio one" belonged to tho M. K. Church, who do* not, or did not, attend Church anyplace.' Ono result of this mode of spending' the hot weather is that their respective1 congregations increase instead of di-? nlsh during the season usually given up to the ministers of evil, who nev-" er take any vacation. They have/oitn'f1 some ot the lost sheep, who were neg-» lecting the means of grace, chiefly because they had received no attention from pa*to-s or people. They are re-' ceived courteously alike by Protestants and Catholics. They mention o»rvfact of interest and instruction—everf Orthotic family *aub* the children to cnt chixm. This is commendable to tho Catholics. Tho result may furnish a good hint to those pastors who love to spend their summers at fashionable watering place*.—/w/. Advocate.
