A HKRETOKORE unpublished letter from Lord Macaulay to Henry S. Randall, of New York, dated London, May 23, 1857, baa come to light. As expressing very clearly the views of this eminent Englishman upon democratic government it posseases considerable interest. He says that he has r.ever, in Parliament, in conversation, or even on the hustings—a place where it is the fashion to court the populace—uttered a word indicating an opinion that the supreme authority in a State ought to be intrusted to the majority of citizens told by the head "in other words, to "the poorest and most ignorant part of "society." And he adds: "I have long "been convinced that institutions pure"ly democratic must, sooner or later, "destroy liberty, or civilization, or "both." The logical result, he maintains, of the government of the majority is that the poor will plunder the rich, and that liberty will perish. There is no evidence whatever of this state of affairs impending in America, and we have only, as yet, got our engines of civilization fairly to work. Having preserved liberty thus far, it is safe to assume thatour common schools, with universal education flowing therefrom, will enable us to perpetuate freedom. All monarchists look upon .the common people as brutes, to be curbed and chained and beaten. Republicans, on the other hand, look upon the masses as men worthy of uplifting. Time will demonstrate fully which theory is right.

The one thing which tho Woman Suffrage organization should be prouder of than any other is that it does attract men and women who aro commonly known as enthusiasts. There never has been one reformer, from Jesus Christ to John Brown, who was not called a fanatic or a lunatic. The greedy, money-loving, ease-seeking masses have never been able to understand how any sane man can withstand blows, villitication and ostracism in defense »f a truth. The leading fanatic of to-day, is more than likely to bo the acknowledged reformer of twenty years hence, just as the martyr of the years agone is the canonized saint of our own time. 1

WB are indobted to P. T. ilarnum for two "dead-head" tickets to his great New York moral menagerie and boneficent hippodrome. In a private note, Phineaa intimates that a gentle editorial puff would soothe his nerves and put him in a heavenly state of mind generally. We would just like to Inform Phineaa that this device of his is not thick. Does he suppose that we are going to write up a big puff for him, and then travel eight hundred miles to see the show? If he does think so, he's mightily mistaken that's ail.

Tms is a description of a terrible infant in Fentress county, Tenn.: "The prodigy is only three years old, and weighs seventy-five pounds, has as much beard as a twenty-year-old, his feet are eight inches long, though small for one of his build he is fond of the society of girls, but the boys he detests. Il ts voice is coarse, and his flu

of passion are terrific." If

this state of affairs continues, President Grant will be compelled to declare martial law in Fentrens county.

THK political campaign of 1872 will be opened shortly in this county by a oall for a eonventk® to select delegate* to the Republican State Convention to be held in Indianapolis on the 22nd of February.

DR. Roaster BTUKKBXIUTMX, ooe of the foremoet dtiseos of Kratrnkf daring along sad useful life, died on Wednesday at his borne in Danville.

FIFTEEN years ago the Democratic speakers and press of the nation unan imously applauded the murderous and cowardly attack of "Bully Brooks," of South Carolina, upon Charles Sumner, Now there is a disposition plainly evident on tho part ot the Democratic party to pat Mr. Sumner on the head and say to him, "You are a good boy

Charlie!" There is even a design ap parent to make Charles the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency \YThat do the Bourbons ol 1866 think of these demonstrations? Is our civiiiza tion a failure is the Caucasian played out?

Do THE electors of Harrison town ship intend to vote down the proposi tion to subscribe 9160,000 to aid in building the Terre-Haute and South western Railroad while two railroads are being constructed to take away from Terre-Haute tho trade of all the region lying Southwest of this city?

THE editor of the Boston Investigator, who hints thst he was made an infidel when a boy by listening to sn infidel lecture by Robert Dale Owen, now takes thst gentleman to task for advocating the immortality of the soul in his new work, "The Debstable lAnd."

Asn now it is proposed to amend the National Constitution so as to requiroa system of free common schools to be maintained in every State and territory. The proposition originates with Senator Stewart, of Nevada.

IT is time to trump up a whole lot of Vigo county candidates for State offices. This county always has voracious appetite for political spoils. There will soon bes good desl of savory official provender lying around loose.

TERRE-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL DECEMBER 30. 1871.

MR. ROBKRT LOWE, a member of the Gladstone Cabinet, haa recently made* speech in reference to the proper means of providing for the education of the English masses. He rightly saya tftat the grave error of past governments in reference to education has been the en tanglement of the schools with denominationalisni. Notwithstanding this he thinks that the church schools should be kept up for tho benefit of the children of the more respectable class, and that an unsectarian system should be inaugurated for the benefit of the boys and girls of the gutter. This proposi tion to perpetuate a wrong is manifestly ridiculous, even though it comes from an English Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is important, however, as evincing the growth of thought in England and the determination of the leading minds of that country to open the way for the education of the common people. When all the children of the United Kingdom get accosa to free nnsectarian schools the days of Throne, the Lords, the Church and the holding of lands by feudal tenure will be numbered. Speed the good time coming!

THE subscription of $160,000 to the Southwestern Railroad will cost the property holders of Harrison townsljjlp, if the election of January 22nd proves favorable to the enterprise, a lit.il© less than one and one-half percent, on last year's total valuation of property. As taxables are usually assessed at about two-thirds actual value, it is safe to estimate that the railroad will cost the people of the township about one per cent, of the real value of their possessions. The 9150,000 will be put upon the tax duplicate in June, 1872, and it' will be payable in two installments— the first in April, 1873, and the second in April, 1874.

A VAST crowd thronged the court house two days of this week to witness the progress of the trial of a breach of promise case. The question at issue pertained merely to the private affairs of two persons, the plaintiff and defendant. That so many people have been able to give up business and to put their whole minds to the investigation of the case proves, either that their prurient curiosity has stronger b-^'V upon them than their legitiir-116

THK proposition for new amend ment to tbe Constitution restricting the Presidential offloe to a single term does not meet with much flavor. There is a very proper conservative spirit in tbe nation in reference to change of the organic law—a disposition to oppose all alterations in the Constitution unless they are demanded by urgent and imperative reasons. Mr. Sumner's proposed amendment is a bad one. It is an attempt to restrain tbe powers of the people. It is undemocratic because it shows distrust of the voters. All such legislation carries us backward, not forward. Free government is completely a failure when it doubts the popular will. The people make mis takes often, but they see and rectify their errors quickly. He who reads the history of our land will hardly conclude that the people were unwise in re-electing any ot the Presidents who were chosen for a second term. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and Lincoln were re-elected. John Adams, J. Q. Adams, Van Buren, Tyler, Polk, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan and Johnson wero dismissed with one term. There is nothing in this array of names to disgust honest people with the present system. We had better let well enough alone. ,\r

THK London News Agency has been compelled to make an humble apology to John C. Heenan for having published a report that be was to be arrested for complicity in New York frauds. The merit of British justice is that it can always be depended upon. Even a man of general bad character like Heenan can make the public press of England pay heavily for an unjust insinuation. Genuine liberty of the press does not mean license to abuse citizens indiscriminately any more than true liberty for men means the right to knock down and murder fellow creatures without punishment following as a necessary consequence. „..+•

the subscription of9160,000 by Harrison township for the Southwestern Railroad is defeated at the polls, there is no possibility that this road wil 1 ever be built at all. Lines of rail are rapidly being constructed from other points to tbe region named, and the people of Crawford and Southern Clark will soon be independent in reference to railroads, and little likely to encourage with the substantial aid which they promise now, an enterprise starting in this city.

THK National Labor Union, in session at San Francisco on Wednesday, elected George W.

Mr. J. is The Mail's candidate for Governor of Indiana, but we will j^ive him up if the Labor people must have him for the Presidency.

WHILE the New York Times has led in the great moral victory over the Ring, the Tribune has been but a lame follower.

THE French Minister of the Interior proposes to Increase stringently the law regulations for the control of tbe press. It is understood that his intentions have been approved by the President.

THB stockholders (of tbe Buthwestern Railroad) in their address to the votm, make I bis statement: "The sum of 150,000 asxesecd upon the township of Harrison will make the subscription of the city bat little if any more than 9100,000." This Is a mistake. The taxables aie as iollows: Cltv, 98,668,130 Harrison, outside of city. 11,875,180. On thl* basis, the city would have to pay t£K,flW, and the outside township, 12^302.—{J. O. J. in Express Friday.

The statement made by J. O. J. is not correct in point of feet. The taxables of the city amount to 98,668,120 of Harrison, outside of the city, 91,673,180. To the latter must be added the national bank stock of the city which cannot be reached by ^municipal taxation, and which has never paid one dollar yet for public railroad subscriptions. The amount of this stock is 9700,000, and its salable value at which it must be assessed is 9880,000. Add this to the property of Harrison township outside of the city and we have the sum of |113,010 to be paid by the property reached by municipal taxation, and 930,990 to be paid by the property of the township and the banks.

MOST citizens remember that this city once enjoyed a profitable traffic called the Green county trade. If the elector of Harrison township vote down the proposition to subscribe 9150,000 to Mr. Tuell's railroad it will only be about oue year before the Southwestern trade will be to us only a memory. Then may some old togy sit upon an arch of the river bridge, like Macaulay's New Zealander, and survey the ruin which, with his little ballot, he helped to make.

THE second volume of Theodore Tilton's Golden Age will commence with the new year. The copious extracts which we have made from this journal are evidenoe of the high esteem in which we hold it.

Theodore Tilton is much abused and little understood, but time will set him all right with tbe people

THE New York Times fears that Woman Suffrage may not work well because it will sond depraved women to the polls. If licentiousness should bar electors Irom the privilege of voting, then the Times should advocate the immediate disfranchisement of men and the enfranchisement ol women as, notoriously, women are the guardians of virtue and men are the antagonists ol purity.

THE national bank capital of this city, which has never paid any part ol the public subcriptions for local railroads because it is exempt from city taxation, will be made to pay a portion of the subscription to the Southwestern Railroad, if the election of January 22nd results fevorably to that enterprise. This stock is taxed for county and township purposes, but not for the benefit of the city.

THE forcible argument against the Southwestern railroad so far is that it will cost money. This has ever been the strong argument against improvement If it had been listened to in the past, as the enemies ol this enterprise hope it will be listened to now, there would not De a line ot railroad entering TerreHaute at this time.
