In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

"FRANCHISE FOR WOMEN." Under Ibis head our esteemed correspondent, "T. C. S.," furnishes us with additional arguments against Woman Suffrage.

He surely is in error when he asserts that "women, as a body, are no better than men."' morality, and of decency, prove the reverse. In the Indiana Southern Penitentiary seventeen women are confined and over four hundred men. The criminal records in this city show a proportion not differing widely from this. The churches of the land are supported by women. There are one hundred inebriated men where there is one drunken woman. But for women there would be little virtue or decency in the land. Why, then, would not their enfranchisement add to the conscience in the political life of tht* nation? Because, we are told, the exercise of political rights would degrade theno. Is there anything deg«adingthen in being a free citizen Does the study ot politico, "the science of government," debauch the individual? If this be true, then free government is a failure, and the sooner we relapse into absolute monarchy the better.

Our correspondent objects to the enfranchisement of ignorant foreign women and of negresses of the South because of their lack of knowledge but he does not propose to disfranchise ignorant foreign men, or ignorant negro men for the same reason. Is it not a poor rule wnich does not work both ways? Does he not know that, ignorant as some foreign women are, and besotted as a large number of negresses are, they are still infinitely superior in morality and decency to the men of their own cbiss?

He reproduces an argument which has before been combatted in these columns that legislation is above rather than below the moral seone ot the nation, and that the fanlt is not in the laws, but in their execution. In other words that, inasmuch as women are usually unrtued to be sheriff's officers or magistrates, they should not be allowed to vote. We answer as we have answered before in these columns: This rule would disfranchise ninety-nine out of one hundred men in America—including nearly all the decency of the country. It is doubtful that our cor-

hsve been purposely excluded from voting, as interfering with sound policy and the harmony of domestic life." In most countries men are excluded from voting for reasons as sound as these. The argument that woman's enfranchisement will interfere with domestic harmony and marital peace applies with equal force against her education and her right to have a religious faith ot her own. In consequence of her education she is likely to have ideas which may clash with those of her husband, and, if he be an intolerant fool, produce domes:ic inharmoniousness. In consequence of her exercising rights of consience she may espouse a religious faith which will produce the same effect and the extension to her of political rights may bring like consequences.

There is no conservative position on the woman question which is logical. Either the barbarians who esteem her as the abject slave of man arc right, or the progressives who demand that she shall be man's equal have found the truth.

Our correspondent thinks that we wn judge the true spirit of the American government only by the designs of It* founders—that inasmuch aa the persons who framed the Constitution did not* guarantee political rights to women, such fin extension of privileges is not "in accordance with the American ides." The framers of the Constitution did guarantee, tacitly if not postlively, the right of men to own and sell human beluga. Was that "in socotdance with the American idea?" If the flitters of the Republic were infallible in one thing, they were infallible in all things, and the emancip* tion of the blacks was si I wrong. The feci is that this is an ieonoatastia sge, snd the progress of to-day, which comes from God, bids us hold to no bad thing because the cobwebs of Ume hang thickly about it.

Our correspondent quotes Judge Story, who ssys: In most countries, females, whether married or single.

THE SUICIDAL MANIA. Many strange phases there are in this

AU staUslics of crime,of queer life of ours. The philosophy that kills time is the most popular, although where the years lie deada-ound us with their cares, hopes, joys, griefs,dreams, ambitions, and noth'ng left but a few experiences, a straggling gray hair, a bundle of letters tied with a faded ribbon, and a daily tendency to lengthen the afternoon nap, we rather chide swift-booted destiny, and think mournfully of what might have been. The strongest hearts will be chilled beneath the grave-stones. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and if we be Alexanders or Caesars we must come to loam. If no consolation were left but this, if we did not feel that where the sordid body has done its work and is cast away, a new work will begiu the nature of which we know not, but whose inspi ration is with us always, life would be a calamity and not a blessing. The harsh theology of many creeds would have us believe that these veins and sinews, these slowly pulsing arteries, are but fuel for eternal bonnres. We do not discuss that now. Whether we sinners are to be burned into a crisp.after the manner of a joint or a haunch, or whether tne "lake of fire" is the

Oriental imagery for the torture of remorse and the pain of contrition—more painful to the true mind than any physical roasting or toasling—it is not for us to say. We do not write now as a theological critic. We believe in liTe —in the pure ai.-, the bright sunshine, the blue sea, tne green grass, gcod books and lovely women. We believa in it, and ask with wonder how mere worldly men and women ca think of welcoming death.

Life is sweet but men can turn frpm it at times and welcome the inystc *y beyond the ave. WEU.ide'-stand fu'1/ how men aotuated "bj devotion *0 country, or a g*-eat principle, may gladly welcome death in defense of eithe*. All other heroism sinks into insigoMicance be3ide that o2 men who have diod, and are yet willing to die, rather than be dishonored. But death is welcomed in another shape to an alarming co

vile, who will dare to defy that public sentiment. Let officials understand

entirely upon the integrity with whk'h they enforce the laws and we will have no higgling and bargaining and intentional blindness among th^se officers. No man can deny that women will vole, almost without exception, on the virtuous and moral side of alt questions. This being admitted, what reasonable man will argue against adding to the voting population an immense moral element which will demand through the instrumentality of the ballot, thorough enforcement of the lnws?

WE learn from a 'ate Berlin letter thst the m^'tary sothodtie* hsve prepared report on the disciplinary conduct of tne Prussian t-oops during the Inte war, which is considered safisTactory. The total number of offences is about double what it would have been in peace time. Ve'y few cases of insubordination have occurred. The greater number of charges are for *Ilogsl rdqoisUionlng and poCoining of the enemy's property. The lj»pdwehr being composed of sn older clan of men Is specially favorably reported upon. The report shows in the mobt conclusive manner the t, est sac*.*iority of the Prussian military system.

WHEN oil was struck in Pennsylvania some ten years ago. it was but little anticipated that Petroleum wonld become a principal Americsn staple of export, snd occupy such sn important position in the commerce of oar country. The growth ot the oil trade is one of the marvels of modern times and as the supply is appsrently inexhaustible, appearances are thst the trade is comparatively in its infancy, tor the product is coming to be utilised fbr manufacturing and for a great variety of purposes. This praduct, commercially unknown ten years ago, hss necessitated special legislation in all the countries of Europe, and in Australia. Ib has completely overturned the once flourishing business of candle-making, and produced innumerable inventions in safety lamps. In 1860, there were exported from the United States but 1,500,000 gallons, in 1869 the amount reached to 99,285,000 gallons, snd last year, it was no less than 141,208,155 gallons, or an increase of over 40 per cent, inth*iton0 year. In 1861, Great Britain took 579,000 gallons, and finding it so useful next year increased her imports to 3,238.000 gallons, and it has continued advancing since. In December. 1867. the daily average product of the Pennsylvania oil district was 10.400 gallons of oil per day, and in the same month in 1870 'his had reached to 15,214 gallons per day. with no sign of exbausliog the yield. The total yearly produce iwkoning our own supply has been Estimated 211.000,000 of gallons, which, if calculated at twenty cents per gallon, makes the annual value of the trade about $4*2,000,000.

PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF has informed the American Evangelical Alliance that their appeal for religious toleration has the appearance of interference with the domestic affairs of Russia, and that the Russian government could not tolerate the shadow of an intervention from whatever side it came. The missionaries expressed their respectful regret. He accepted the address of the American delegation to hand to the Emperor. The address to the Emperor, of the Swiss delegation, he decidedly refused to accept. He then explained that it might seem invidious to accept only the address of the American delegation, and requested them to withdraw it, which they did. Certain newspapers which habitually abuse the Roman Catholic Church, have been of late trying to prove that the Greek Church of Russia can properly be classed as a Protestant Church. Wonder if they admire Gortscbakoft's Protestantism.

ANOTHER thing is settled, namely, the origin of life on earth. The President of the British Association, at its last meeting, demonstrated that life B)«y have originated through mossgrown frngmems from the ruins of another world Every year," he said, thousands, probably millions, of fragments of solid matter falls upon the "earrh. It is in the' highest degree "probable that there are countless seed "bearing meteoric stones—the fragments of other worlds of life—moving "abont through space." Further on this wonderful fellow admits that "from the earth stocked with such vegetation as it could receive metemorically to the earth teeming with all the end"less variety of plants and animals which now inhabit, the step is prodigious," which is true.

ACCORDING to the statistics of Mr. David A. Wells, the sales of stimulating liquors in the United States tor the year ending June 30, 1867, amounted to the sum of ?1,483,491,865 one billion, four hundred and eighty-three millions, four hundred and ninety-ono thousand eight hundred and sixty-live dollars, or forty-three dollars for each individual. This is exclusive of the amount paid for liquors by such as purchase by the quantity from wholesale dealers. In Connecticut,New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, the amounts paid for liquors in the year above named were equal to the total value, in those States, of all the railroads and their equipments. V*.

WHAT is the matter with Horace Greeley snd the New York Tribumef Not content with stigmatizing some of the purest women snd noblest men in the country becsuse they believe in Womanl Enfranchisement: snd not content with hsving been the lame apologist of the Tammany thieves, while the Times led in denunciation of the frauds which stand unparalleled in the history of corruption, the Tribune stabs in this style the second Republican government in the world:

The French—both people and Government —are certainly pursuing a very unfortunate course toward Germany, pending negotiations for the evacuation of their territory by toe German Army of Occupation. The preM ha* been groitht abusive toward the "Goths," as they HUl delight to call their captors and, tfutefu? of paymg up the indemnity specified in the Treaty of Peace, the Government, after liquidating that ponion which was really ovenlue have continually begged the Germans to anticipate the performance of their own obligations. Impatient at this delay the French Government bas actually 'orbidden the products of Alsace to enter French markets until tue evacaat'on final ly Is completed. Tae Provincial Correspond ence, semi-official organ ot tlie German Government, says, In effect, that if the French beftave themselves, and up the Indemnity, evacuation of French territory will soon begin. The French so far, t'n their vanity and arrogance, have appeared to lose sght altogether of the fact that they are a conquered people.

And this is the New York 7Vt'6une,tho strong, true advocate of Universal Am nesty and Impartial Snffrage, which complains that the French do not behave themselves like vassals! It is Jeff Davis' bondman who sarcastically reminds Frenchmen that they are a conquered people. It is the old enemy of kings and slaveholders who justifies Germany for declining to evacuate France because Fronchmen do not kiss the rod that smites them. It is the old staunch friend of a free press and free speech which justifies the unreasonable exactions of the German Empire because the French papers abuse their conquerors. Is not France a free coat)try, :iod has not the French press as much right to ..buse Germany as the Tribune has to abuse France? And this is the same Tribune which once fought so bravely and nobly for the Rights of Man 1 fallen!

A RICHMOND paper very kindly tells us what will come to pass when Southern influence once more becomes dominant in public affairs. Southern slaves are to be p:»id for, and the money divided with the conservative colored voters who are in tbis way .to be bribed into thesupport of the reactionists. The Richmond paper thinks there need be no difficulty in currying out this programme. "The blacks can be made to have the "same interest in tbis right as the whites. The market value ot the "p.operty ai fbe ojibreakof the war was estimated at 3,000,000,000. The "half of U.ut suta might redress the whites,the other half would console (1. c. bribe) the blacks, and prove a far more "substantial blessingthsm the imaginary 'mule and forty acres of land.' The writer adds, very considerately, that he would not hurry the settlement of this claim—"it is a permanent bulwark and source of safety and harmony to all the distracted elements of

Southern society. But whenever the "signal is given it will bring white "and black together, shoulder to "shoulder." He thinks that possibly

Geo. Grunt himself might bo willing "to achieve a re-election by according "to us all and more than we auk. At any rate it is the best trump out, and "if judiciously played may win the game."'

A LITTLE newspaper published at Robinson, Illinois, is incensed because the MAIL job office sent circulars advertising its business to Robirison recently. The Argus, (this is the name of the newspaper referred to,) threatens to retaliate by doing work for Terre-IIaute merchants. It seems to be terribly in earnest, and we fear that it will not stop short ot breaking us up. While we are on this subject we will say that several publishers of newspapers in this vicinity have complained of the MAIL establishment for advertising its business in their localities. Wa certainly have no desire to injure thom, though we expect to push business just as it is pushed by other branches of trade. We don't believe that a printing office is an object of charity, and hence we shall advertise just as dry goods men or grocery dealers do. If printing establishments in Chicago, Cincinnati or Indianapolis can do work in this city cheaper or better than ours we expect them to get it, and we shall grumble with no one for sending his work away. This is business, and the sooner that country newspapers take the same position, the better for them.

IT is likely that Mrs. R. T. Col burn, who is now being tried at London, Obio, upon the cha-geof having poisoned her former husband, Baffenbarger, will be acquitted. While she may be innocent of the crime with which she is charged, she is entitled to little sympathy from tae world, inasmuch as she married at the age of twenty a disagreeable old man of serenly because of his wealth, snd permitted Mr. Colbu'-n, who afterwards ma..led her, to intimate, during the life time of her first husband, that he would remain unmarried until Buffenbarger's decease,id order to be able to espouse her. It is high time for society to plsce the prope' estimate upon that kind of legalised p*us..uution which is consummated when yorng women maty old and disagreeable men for their money. Young girls never marry very old men who have no money, hence in all such cases it is safe to assume that they prostitute themselves for price. Thit tbey place a high pecuniary estimate upon their virtue does not decrease their moral obliquity,

AGENTS have been searching fbr government treasures in the wreck of the Golden Rule, which went down about six years ago. The Golden Rule has been .wrecked a good many times before and since the sinking of the vessel named.

THOSE DA UGHTKM&

Mr. Greeley's inconsistency is noticed by the press generality, and even those papers that do not sympathize with the womsn movement remark upon the inconsistency of his position. The Washington Cbpital well says:

We have no very large amount of svmpathy for the female movement in the direction of voting we are forc 1 to ask our venerable Mend if, while objecting to the masouline busin above stated for his oharming daughters, he is willing they should go in bome man's kitchen to follow them callne labor of cooking, washing and scrubbing? Yet tbis hss been and is the fate of men's daughters as good, delicate, and tenderly nurtured as our agricultural friend. And if ho leave his children nothing but that fk.ni where he learned au that he knows about farming, the prospect is that Mich will be their fete.

For our part, we would rather our daughters, if we had any, would shino in the caucus than scrub in the kitchen. And we have a suspicion that if tiiev were permitted to vote there would bo better wages and less abuse.
