SECOND EDITION.

TWO EDITIONS

Of this Paperare published. The FIRST EDITION, 011 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,

TWO NEWSPAPERS, ,,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

CAPITAL AND LABOR. And then it will be discovered that there is no "contest between labor and capital," but that they are mutually and equally depend t.—H.ipress.

If there is no contest between Capital and Labor why is it that the Labor Unions ire fast becoming the most powerful, as they have ever been since their birth the most admirably disciplined organizations in the land? In France, 4.'53,78." unionists are co-operat-ing with the International Association in Switzerland, 42,326 in Germany, 150,000 in Austria and Hungary, 100,000 in Belgium, 20,000 while in Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, and even in Asiatic Turkey, there are sections organizing. In America the Na tional Labor Union was organized at Baltimore in 18(36 and represented thirteen national and international Trades Unions, having nine hundred and nine-ty-two branches, and a membership of about three hundred thousand persons. The most significant feature of this movement is its International organizations. Already the Trades Unions of England and ol the continent are allied with those of America in fraternal bonds for mutual protection and preservation.

The deposits in the savings banks of New York and New England alone amount to the sum of $400,000,000, more than the total bank capital of the United States. It is safe to estimate that three fourths of this sum is o\Vned by mechanics, working men and domestics. The laboring men in England and America have the capital in their hands now to own and operate one-half the manufacturing establishments of these countries. Organization of labor and a practical system of co-operation, will ultimately enablo the working classes to own and control all these establishments, and other branches of lab-r besides, and consequently to enjoy the lull fruits of their toil.

The time will soon arrive when Capital will not be able longer to secure to itself tho lion's share of the profits from tho labor of men. Education is preparing the toiling millions to step forward and grasp the full fruits of their labors. This is not agrariarism—it is not a struggle for the confiscation of Capital, or lor tho demolition of privato fortunes—it is a practical effort of the masses to secure to themselves all the profits of their own toil and effort.

If there is 110 contest between Capital and Libor, then tho Trades Unions which now bind together tho .members of every manual labor avocation in Christendom are not facts, and tho intellectual elevation of tho toilers of tho world is a myth.

When wo speak of tho contest we allude, of course, to Capital and Labor in tho abstract. Perhaps wo will be better understood if we say that tho contest is between capitalists and laborers. That labor and tho means to successfully handle it are equally and mutually dependent we admit. The solution of the contest to which we refor will be that, by means of co-operation and organization, Lnlwr will absorb Capital, and own the industral interests of the country.

WE have already given the substance of what was said by Ir. Schenck as to the result of the recent petition of the Evangelical Alliance for religious toleration in Russia. A report in the Herald of a discourse delivered by the reverend gentleman, also says:

You also know that I went under a special mission to counsel with other evangelical clergy as to the tyranny of civil power over Protestants in certain provinces in Russia. All the delegates from Eprope, as well as the American del#g*t«U proceeded together to meet the Prime Minister of Russia. Everything was accomplished that was designed. The whole sublect has been laid befort the Emperor of Russia, and we *r»r, assured that everything compatible with the exigencies of Stale should be done. Men who had traveled hundreds and thousands of miles to look into each other's «-ves parted with feelings better imagined t!t iii *cribed. Old men, who felt that this 11,. ir last dufv, parted from their comrades. filing that their next meeting would be cm the other side of the river of death.

This sounds very pathetic, bat it is hardly satisfactory. The fact is that the Evangelical Alliance was roundly snub* bed by the Russian government—a government which has always been claimed as the European power most friendly to America. Being at antipodes where their Interests could not possibly clash, their has ever been a friendship between Russia and America simply because they bad some enemies in common. There could be no other reason, for tbey are not so completely :»l antipodes in a geogw^ical sense as civilisation and moral progress. iiaA.u-4. is the most despotic government in Europe, and America is the fn*« land on the globe.

AGRICULTURE.

FROM advance sheets of Mr. Voor hees' forthcoming address on agriculture, to be delivered before the Mary land Agricultural Society, we are happy to learn that Mr. V. will take high and courageous ground on the rural question. He will refute completely the position taken by Mr. Greeley in his Lafayette speech when he advised people to take guano on their mashed ]totaloes, to bury their geese in th« gar den so as to evoke goose berries, to plant early floweringshort-horn,Cochin China sheep because they are the best for seed, and in divers other manners to mold themselves on the model of their great exemplar, to their unutterable shame and financial ruin.

Mr. V., we say will reiute all this stufr. He will toll the honest Maryland farmers that they must devote less time to rotation in office, and more to rotation in crops, that they must lev el down their hills, fertilize their sandy barrens with hydrate of chloral, and plant the Short Horn Banana. Evanescent and hypercritical agriculture he denounces as a desolating and suicidal delusion, born of that false Numidian philosophy which is inharmonious with the great modern truth which speaks to the peoples of the earth, in tones more potent than the syllabic voice of whirlwinds, ot the grandeur and glory of the Voorhees system which boldly advocates the summer fallowing of lambs, the cultivation of Bantam chickens la drills, the crossing of Southdown ewes with hydraulic rams, the lifting of stumps by means of porous plasters, and the gradual amelioration of the condition of the rural population by the thorough and systematic reading ot Mr. Voorhees' Louisville speech, and Bayless Hanna's Okaw letters. We cannot refrain from giving to our readeistbe eloquent peroration of this remarkable speech: "Is there no Mucin 11 Gllcad, no Irrigation there Must the years in tli^ir eudless cycles go sweeping 011 to the Infinite and Unfathomable while Man, vague, shiftless, ratiocinative Man, turns back to primeval development? I say No-and the hills and valleys and the far-off mountains in glad re verbal ations ratify my defiance. Better to live one day with Homer In Elysian fields, or draw blade with Bayard in Andirondack battles, than breathe centuries of inglorious ease. I will s«y to you as I have said before to the guileless children of the far»atf West, whose homes are amid the verdure of the alluvial plain—go, thou, onward Toward the titars. Listen to no syren voice which would hold your bedraggled garments to earth. Plow deep-deep as the buried ages of long ago. Gather your herds upon a thousand hills, and let your far-reaching fields of emerald green grow into glad sweet life and fill the granaries of the world with Hope's benignant -star.

THE Supreme Court of Illiftol^ has decided that a man is not liable for the debts of his wife contracted by her before marriage, on the ground that the Legislature, having by the act of 1S69 taken from the husband all control over the earnings of his wife, has logically and necessarily also swe^l away tho law making the husband r^onsible for the debts contracted by his wife when she was femim sole. And uow, as tho wife cannot be sued, there is a demand that the Legislature shall complete its work and invest every married woman with the right to make wills and separate contracts, and the right to sue ar.d be sued. 'I': #..:/-.

A SUGGESTION of so in force is made by the Chicago Tribune that the plan of choosing appointees to naval or military cadetships, by competitive examinations, now practiced by several of the Congressmen, should be made obligatory by law. Such a provision would certainly do away with a great deal of petty disgraceful corruption, which is not without danger to the military and naval service. It would be betterj3tlll, however, to do away with the military and the naval academies and select students front the high schools of the land to fill the lower commissions in the army and navy.

WE oppose woman suffrage as Catholics and us citizens. We are stout believers in the superiority of men over women, we (*4iu not forget that the apostle tells the women that tiicy ought to obey their husbands because "the mail Is the head of tho woman."— Catholic Advocate.

Mrs. Liverinore completely answered the persons who oppose woman's advancement because of the teachings of Paul, by quoting the apostle when be says Suffer not woman to teach." If Paul's lesson in reference to woman is of any value it must be taken as an entirety, and the pernicious labors of women as teachers must be ended.

THK Journal "goes for" Mr. Fabrlcins of the Banner because he sold th* Influence of the VoUcsblatt, the paper he was publishing last year, for a certain sum of money. Mr. Fabricius was a Republican, and the VolkMatf\ was a Republican sheet, Mr. F. sold, out to the Democratic party managers tor five hnudred dollars. The operation was not reputable, but we fail to see that Mr. Fabricius was more culpable than the persons who corrupted him.

THE recent letter which Theodol® Til ton wrote to Horace Greeley on wo* man suffrage, is said to have been agreed upon by Messrs. Sumner and Tiltou, at a breakfast in New York. is further stated that Mr. Sumner will, at the next session of Congress, take up the question, and introduce some declaratory act giving woman the ballot.

THK demand for the new five P®r cent, loan is *0,000,000 in excess of the allowance-—a fact which is respectfully commended to the croaker# who are forever prating about the decline of Americas credit and the instability of our government.

TERRE-H AH IT, SATURDAY EVENING MALL. SEPTEMBER 9. 1871.

Democrat thinks that

corn in Western granaries during the fall and winter will not be worth more than fifteen rent 3 a bushel.

THE Express hastens to say that it has never contended that an organisation for the purpose of preparing "history and erecting a monument to •'the memory of a dead comrade or "commander, should be suppressed." It did say once, however, when referring to the MAIL'S assertion that there was no legal way of preventing persons from peaceably celebrating rebel victories, that,

It will not be conducive to the health or longevity of 'rebel sympathisers' in this city or in any other part of the United Suites, to accept the MAIL'S statement of their rights and act accordingly.

It may be that our stock of logic is limited, but we fail to see why the effort of Fitz Hugh Lee and other rebels to organize the army of Northern Virginia, for the purpose of preparing a history of its operations in the rebellion, and taking steps to have a monument erected to the memory of General Lee, is legal andv unobjectionable, while the peaceful celebration of a rebel victory is not. The latter does not commemorate the infamies of the rebellion more thun the lormer neither does it endanger the peace ot the country more than the former. The simple fact is that rebels have a legal right, to talk, write, speak, display colors, blow horns, erect monuments, and do all other acts, showing their sympathy with tho late rebellion, short of making war upon the government. They make lools of themselves when they do such things, but foolishness is not crime.

THE "new departure" medicine does not agree with the Democratic patient. Dr. Hcndricks must feel the patient's pulse and prescribe. We are inclined to think that Dr. Voorhees knows moro about the diseases of the Democratic party than any of the quacks who have imperilled its life. The trouble seems to be that a multiplicity of advice has been taken. Dr. Vallandigham advised change of principles. Dr. Hoffman insisted upon bleeding, and applied his leeches. Dr. Hendricks looked wise and said nothing, evidently determined to await developments, and claim as his own any prescription that might act favorably. Our own Dr. Voorhees insisted from the first that, inasmuch as the patient was old and feeble, any radical change in its diet and waj's of living would prove fatal, and he was

NEWTON BOOTH, who has just been elected Governor of California, has before him a future as brilliant, so far as human capacity can estimate it, as that of any young man in America. A thorough progre&sive, in harmony with all the reforms of tho day—a man who has been sought by office and who lins never asked for place—possessed of wealth honestly acquired, and of a spotless name—endowed with talents above all save a noble lew—filled with genius and honest enthusiasm—this is Newtop liooth. The nation has no honors which may not be worthily conferred upon the young man who went to the shores of the Pacific, moneyless and alone, twelve years ago, and who bears now 1 he highest honors which the people of California can confer.

KING AMADICUS, who is still journeying in the Provinces of Spain, has granted pardons to many prisoners. He lias visited many bull fights, and taken various other means to make himself popular with tho people. We are not informed that ho has roasted any heretics, but we presume that, while seeking popularity, he went the whole Spaniard, and indulged in all these little refined cruelties so pleasing to the Castilian heart.

HORACE GREELEY will publish an article in the October Galaxy favoring tho one term principle so far as the presidency Is concerned. On this subject Horace is right,though there is no good reason why this principle shall be applied to President Grant. The Constitution should be so remodeled as to prohibit the occupation of the presidential chair during two successive terms by the same person.

BEN BI:TLER, who is a noted whist player, says that the sharpest player of his favorite game he has ever met was a full-blooded Indian. All of this warrants us In perpetrating a joke, to the effect that the elastic aborigine was cy idently good on tho Indian-rubber.

AFTER all the talk about Mr. Colfax tngaging in business the fact is developed that he has really become a leading Itockbolder in an establishment to Manufacture chairs at South Bend. (This is serious. It will be useless for jou to examine this paragraph for a jfke.)

IN the matter of abortions, revelation is heaped upon revelation. The latest case come to light is that of Mary Russell. a girl twenty-two years old, who died Wednesday, the victim of an operation performed upon her two weeks ago by a Mrs. Burns, of Clinton street. New York. Sore and sick as the heart becomes at the array of horrors spread before it, some consolotion may legitimately be drawn from the reflection that they inevitably bring about their own remedy. Steamboat explosions,railway collisions,trunk tragedies, carhook murders, suicides.terrors of the abortionists, and the iniquities of the New York Ring, are all a part of that painful and necessary discipline by which the Inscrutable power that underlies the universe instructs humanity, and teaches it ultimately how to take care of itself. Some day or ot. er we shall learn how to have boilers as well as brakesmen of integrity, how to suppress the abortionist and punish the murderer, and how to put honest men in power. A reasonable Utopia is not impossible to realize, and through individual and social suffering, we shall, sooner or later, be led up to it.

IT is said that General Butler stands 110 possible chance for the gubernatorial nomination lrom the Republicans, and the opiuion is expressed that if his name is presented to the Convention— of which there now seems to be some doubt—that he will receive less votes than any name which will be presented. He has injured himself greatly by the useless and indecent personalities which he has lugged into the campaign.

THK Covington Friend is a Bourbon sheet with strong admiration for TerreHaute Democratic politicians. Witness the following ticket which it flies at its mast-head:

For President in 1X72—Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia. Kor Vice President—Bayless W. Han 11a, of Indiana. l?'or Governor—Daniel W. Voorhees, of Vigo county.

For Lieutenant Governor—Not particular, so he don't swallow the New Departure.

THE Emperors William of Prussia and Francis Joseph of Austria held a conference at Salzburg yesterday. They expressed their satisfaction with each other, and discussed the projoct of organising a firm to monopolize the governing business in Europe.
