TWO EMTIOXX

Of this Paper are publlkhei -j The FIRST EDITION, on Tiinmiuy Evening. hax a large circulation among farmers and other* living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every rending person in the city. Every Week's Issue is. In fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

SO UTII WESTERN It A ILItOA /. Only one more railroad is needed to give our city communication with sill the country in this vicinity of value to us. We have two competing lines connecting us with Indianapolis and all points east we have two competing lines connecting us with St. Ijouis and the West we have a line to Evansville, giving us outlet to the the Ohio Kiverand direct connections by rail with Nashville and the South we have a railroad to Chicago upon which the cars will run through in a Jew days we have a railroad to Rockvillo which will soon connect with the road to Crawfo^dsville, projected to be constructed finally to Toledo within a year cars will be running on this end of a road to bo built to Cincinnati. All that we now need is a line to the soirth-west, crossing the river in the neighborhood of Darwin, running to York, and other points beyond in the direction of Olney, Illinois. This line will run through the most productive region in the Wabash valley. It will enable us to hold and develop trade of great value. It will make this city the converging point of nine lines of railroad. After its completion there will hardly be a point within forty miles of this city that is not within less than ten miles of a railroad leading here. Reing a railroad centre it will not bo possible for Torre-Hante to avoid becoming a city of importance. As a railroad point it will rjot be surpassed by more than ton cities on the continent. To its railroad advantages add tho industry and trade that must bo developed by tho vast block coal fields, the most valuable in the world, whioh lie within sixteen miles of us on the east, and wo may safoly say that no town Of its sizo in A merlon luw a future more promising than our own.

It is not alone because of tho adyantages that will positively accrue if *vo build this road thai its construction is demanded. There are weightier reasons than these. A rival organ ization is already in tho field. Large subscriptions have been secured in the counties of Clark and Crawford (Illinois) for the Chicago, Danville Vincetinos Railroad, already constructed from Chicago to Danville. If wo act hnmcdlnteiy we can get the cordial sup port of the people of tho southern part of Clark and the greator portion of Crawford, forourown enterprise*. They prefer a railroad to Torro-Haute. TUey are used to trading here,and this is the nearest point at which it js possible for them to secure completo railroad communica lion with all points of the great west ern world. If we wait until they have a railroad to Chicago we may find their ardor cooled greatly, and that it will bo necessary to build the road almost entirely at our own expense.

That this road is an absolute necessity to us must be admitted in view of these facts: [L] It will give us connection by rail with the only considerable territory in this vicinity not already bound to us by iron bands. [2.] A road is soon to be built from Dan ville through l'arls and Marshall to Vincennes which will take away from us all the trade of any vahu^south of tho National Koad and west of the Wabash river if we do not counteract its influence. S

A revival of railroad excitement is now sweeping through tho West. Woo to the town that neglects its opportunities in these days! Tho Southwestern Railroad should be organised at once. Tho city should encourage tho enterprise bv liberal subscription. This will add to the burden of our debt, but it Is probably the last railroad subscription our council will be called on to make. Ilesidea, its Immediate results will lie profttabl* to the city. The machine shops will be located here. The taxable property of the city will be greatly Increased, and general prosperity will result to the people.

We must keep up with the progress of the time*. By keeping a little ahead we can secure enduring profit. If we but play our cards discreetly now the prosperous Allure of our city is Batumi perfectly as anything can be in this changing world.

THR final Waterloo of Tuesday will convince the most stubborn of Democratic partisans that there Is little left for their party to do but die. It might do this with case and grace and dignity, but the legion of quacks who ait* superintending its final taking off will not permit such an end. They are determined to torture it to the last breath by forcing down its throat all manner of awlm remedies. Thi# is just»tier ail. The influence of the Democratic party Ibr twenty years has been on tho aide of'oppression and of enmity to free ftovonment, srnl It Is well thit Us last d*y* should be Its worst dry*.

JEMRK-ll AIrTK SATUKDAV KYKN1KG MAIL. KOVKMBKR 11, 1871.

A RATHBR remarkable inovemrnt has been put011 foot in Washington by Mrs Admiral Dahlgreen, Mrs. General Sher man and tho other ladles who are tak ing an active part in opposing Woman Suffrage. These ladles do not believe that the constitution, as it now stands, gives to woman the right to vote, and they are determined to deprive the oth era of their so-called sixteenth amend ment by occupying tho ground themselves with an amendment providing for a uniform system of divorce. This is well—not that congress will ever be able to enact a general divorce law, but because tho agitation of this subject is sure to be of benefit to the cause of woman's enfranchisement. Now that actual aggressive measures are to be taken by the ladies who oppose Woman Suffrage we shall expect complete demoralization of their forces as they will be compelled to investigate the subject. The cases are few of earnest and intelligent ladies studying thefacts presented by the Woman Suffragists without becoming converts to the cause. It is a little amusing to read that the ladies who propose to flank the advocates of Woman Suffrage amendment by advocating a divorce amendment are "going to work like real high born "ladies to encompass their ends, and "design having the measure first introduced into the Senate rather than "the House, since the former is a body "of much more decorum and dignity "than the latter." We shall see how the "high-born ladies" will come out

IT seems that General Pleasanton, of the Cincinnat A Terre-Haute Railroad, "doubts the power of the Council to "add any conditions to the subscription except those embodied in the pe tition," and adds that tho "Company will not establish all of its machine "or car shops at any one place, but will distribute them at such points on "the Hue as tho best interest of the "company may require. Tho company is therefore willing to accept 'resolution to tho effect that Terre-

Ilauto shall be one of the points

where machine and car shops shall be built." This moans virtually that the machine shops will not bo located here, as the establishment in this city of a single blacksmith shop by the railroad would be held as lultillineut of this promise of General Pleasanton. Wo trust that the Council will withdraw all conditions to the subscription save that tho machine shops shall be located herd and insist upon that to the end. If General Pleasanton is right in his proposition that the council cannot add conditions to the subscription wo will be beaten, but it is bctu to be beaten thau to be humbugged, But we will not be beaten. Lot us make a good square fight for the machine shops. «f

THE St. Louis Celt objoctalo the position of the MAIL on °l Office" question' boqfcg^«it(Ti^ity. We are not in tho habnFof getting mad when pcoplo criticise us in tliiM way. Wo object, however to tho reckless statemeut of our contemporary that, "It was to obtain freedom, ottice, posi ion and emolument that Emmet "shed his blood that O'Connell's "voice rang out and that Irish "blood has flowed freely." If this is true, then these gentlemen were demagogues, not patriots. Of course O'Connell complained at the fact that hlB countrymen could obtain in Ireland no position higher than that of bailiff, and that Englishmen were sent across St. George's channel to occupy those government situations which should have been filled by Irishmen. He complained that oflice was denied to men because they were Irishmen. NVe denounce the same spirit here, and we denounce also the demagogue cry that demands place for men because thoy are Irishmen.

TIIKSK words from the New York Standard, the most uncompromising Republican journal in New York city, written just before the election, are significant of the better and purer political life upon which ibe higher class of American journals nre entering:

Horatio Seymour should be elected to the Assembly from the Nineteenth, District of New York. The district Is strongly Republican, and when the choice is narrowed down to between man like Horatio Meymour, notable for his Ability and honesty, and Thomas C. Fields, an adherent of the Ring, honest men will not liesHaie to vote for the former. The only man wlio can defeat Fields Is Governor Hevmour, ami Iernocrats and Republicans alike should support him.

THROKAMBAA, head chief of the Fijis, under advices of the English residents, has proclaimed himself King of the Islands under the name of Ebenexer the First. Tho bill of fare for the coronation banquet began with pickanniney soup, embraced gentlemen of six nationalities among the roasts, and wound up with a colossal missionary pot pie.

OA LLISO NAMES.

We have before us a copy of the Memphis Avalanche,* prominent newspaper of tho South-west. In it we find very untrnthful allusions to prominent American citizens. The editor speaks of Miss Anna Dickinson as "that little be-curled and be-frizen spit-fire." Now this is very inelegant and ungentlemanly. Miss Dickinson Is without a superior as an orator in America. Her utterances are equal in puro philanthropy, in grandeur of thought, and in Christian influence, to those of the greatest intellects that lfve upon the earth. In all her published words, enough to fill many volumes, the editor of the A valnnche can find nothing to justify the use of the epithet which he has applied to a woman so much better and greater than himself that lir-r name will live as long as English civilization, while his own will never known, even during his useless life, beyond the limited territory in which his journal circulates.

In the same article we find ah allusion to Wendell Phillips as "that arch "demagogue," and as "that bloated "demagogue." Now Webster defines a demagogue as "apandererto popular prejudices an artful political orator." There can bo

110

person pos

sessed of regard for truth who will doclaro that Wendell Phillips has ever been "a panderer to popular prejudic"es," or "an artful political orator." To no public man in America can these terms be applied with so little appropriateness. He was tho leader of Abolitionism when the enemies of slavery were hated aud reviled and persecuted for their belief by all but the smallest portion of the people. He has coilfronted more than one mob seeking his life. Ho was a pioneer in the cause of Woman Suffrage. Less than a dozen voiccs in America have dared to publicly utter good words for tho Communists, and his was first and foremost among them. He is the world's great Radical. And yet tho editor of the Memphis Avalanche, who would probably offer to welcouiu us with bloody hands to a hospitable grave if we were to cull him a liar, says that Mr. Phillips is a demagogue.

Recklessness of utterance is the great crime of American journalism. Men who aro mindless of truth, and of the commonest decency and courtesy, get control of newspapers and use them to vent their own personal spleen and malice. They hold up public characters, whose opinions differ from their own,to contempt and execration, while they fawn upon the leaders of their own parties or cliques.* They abuse tho editors and managers of rival sheets as though they were liars, thieves and common scoundrels. They ride over the weak and cringe to the powerful. Editors of this kind are always cowards. They are the vultures of tho profession, feeding upon that which is corrupt and indecent. They revel in notoriety and'wpuld rather be proven disreputable characters every day thau not have their names ill the mouths of the people. Improved public setltiment will soon make tho vocation of such journalists entirely profitless. It lias already made their support meagre and uncertain. Tho day not tar distant when this class will have passed away with other vilo and vicious things.

Till-: Detroit Pout says that tho fuller details of the recent fires in Michigan establish tho fact that.the forest conflagrations have swept through many thousands of acres of the most valuable pine lands in the lower peninsula, and the resulting depreciation in their value and tho consequent loss to their owners must be estimated by hundreds and thousands of dollars. The standing pine has not been totally ruined for lumber, but in most cases can only lie saved by prompt cutting, nnd the damage has been so wide-spread that this comnulsory "logging" will unquestionably involve heavy losses to the unfortunate owners of what has boen considered the most promising class of property In the State.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Washington intimates that the forthcoming decision of tho tost caso on Woman's Suffrage made up in the District of Columbia will recognize the fact that women are entitled to vote under tho Fourteenth Amendment, and that it only needs Congressional legislation to point out how the privilege can be made available in order to have it secured to American women, but that so lar as that district is concerned, the organic law especially provides that suffrage shall be limited to male citizens. The decision will not be made public until next week, but the above points have been agreed upon by the Judges of the District Court, after several consultations.

THAT very popular journal for rural circulation, the Prairie Farmer, of Chicago, comes to us as large and as well printed as before the fire. It did not lose a single issue on account of the conflagration, although It lost everything but its subscription books in he flames. It is a pspei well worthy of patronage.

A WOMAN named Margaret Muller presented herself at the polling booth in Greenwich street, New York, on Tuesday. The inspectors took her vote, and she went on her way rejoicing amid cheers of the crowd.

THE Journal, in a double-leaded editorial this morning, attributes the defeat of the Democratic party this year to the general adoption by that organization of the new departure. It says that the party must renounce this beresy and return to first principles, ft must fight negro suffrage. We quote the most significant part of the article: "In this Congressional district wheie the fraud was exposed and the doctrine of negro suffrage In all its forms openly and boldly denounced on every stump in the canvass o' 1870 an analysis of the votes cast shows that our Representative received the sup-

Kort

of twenty-two hundred and twenty-live epuhlicansat the polls. They voted for him for the first ?tme because ot the adoption or negro suflYage by their own party. Where he stood then he stands now, and we give fair notice to our Democratic brethren of Indiana that the old taitli of the party must again he subscribed to lr we would hold the confidence of the people the old watch-words must be nassetl along the line the timid seekersatter new ways to win battles by endorsing the doctrines of the enemy must give up their heresle and come to the front, or go where their principals lead them."
