The Express is not, however, original in its attempt, when argument fails, to get out of a bad place by putting on very dignified airs, talking about courage, or some other point not at issue, misrepresenting the motives of an opponent, and, in order to get sympathy, setting up as a martyr by representing itself as persecuted.

When The Mall first took notice of tbe free divorce doctrines of the Express,arguing the matter in a somewhat lengthy and altogether respectful editorial, and in a separate paragraph grouped together some other peculiar views which bad been advanced in its colamns, that paper at once mounted its high horse, and declared that what we bad said was beneath its notice. At the same time it condescended to let a "gentleman," who spoke as if by authority, reply to what we had said. He, however, carefully avoided argument, but glorified the Express and attempted to belittle The Mail, nd misrepresented its mqtives. When we replied to Mr. "A," the Express so far forgot its dignity as to condescend to notice us, and tell, its readers that we were harking at it. But on our asserting, what is a fact, that while The Mail barks," the people growl at the coarse of the Express, that paper at once alighted Irom its high horse, laid aside its great dignity, and after praising its own course, etc., much as "A" had done, wont for The Mail in its peculiar style, not with arguments, but with sneers, and misrepresentations of what we had said, and of the motives actuating us. But it did net jump off in the mud in this manner, on its own account. Oh, no! not at all. It was too dignified for that. But wo had insulted its readers by hinting that they did not like its following of Woodhull fe Co., and so it laid aside the high and mighty airs," to defend its readers against tho "little power which Tbe Mail possesses." It is our candid and deliberate opinion that the Express would have cut a much prettier figure if it bad not mounted that high horse, or, if once up, it had staid there.

who, while they do not ©tyect to candid disesasion, do object to having their religions opinions and practices caricatured and misrepresented and constantly sneered at by. their daily paper, and to the introduction to their household of views which weaken the very foundation of society. While we all believe that every man, the editor included, has a right to hold and express bis honest opinions, yet, believing also that the press is an educator with mighty influence for good or ill, we hold that we have the right, and that it is our duLy to criticise that which seems wrong in other papers—expecting the same from them— and that the reader has aright to ob-

which the editor sends into his household. Probably, few men would take an obscene publication for family reading, because itors were bold or even honest in their obscenity. Few would be willing to make Woodbull's Weekly the family paper, even though they thought Mrs. W. both honest and pure. During the rebellion people at tbe North did not subscribe very generally for the papers in sympathy with the South, and would have very likely to "growl at any paper which had the "courage" to express its "honest opinions that tbe South ought to triumph. Our en course in this tilt at tbe Express, has been based upon tbe idea that it is unfair to its opponents, and that some of its views, honestly and boldly advanced, are about as bad, and as injurious in their tendency as is possible. This is tbe issue.

THE SEWER.

The majority of mankind would rather prefer, if they must choose between the two, to be considered knaves than fools. So wo suspect our city conncil would have been grateful to the disappointed contractors, if, instead of calling them "boys," and advising tbem to resign in faver of freedmen imported from the South, they had charged them with corruption, "rings," fec. But to he strictly impartial, it does seem to us that both councilmen and contractors acted like very little bovs. As for the contractors tbey were from abroad, and we are not responsible for their silliness and besides, tbey did have very good reason for acting badly. Upon tbe whole, perhaps tbey deserve credit for only makiug fools of themselves, when they had such good reason for getting tearing mad. And then too their silliness is comforting, because it shows that very prominent business men fron other citW-s can be as childish as any nen in our own city.

Wekuoit' of no good reason for believing tb..t any members of our city council aro otberw'se than honest iwn, intending most faithfully to serve the city to the very best of their ability. They seem, even in thejudgment of the contractors, not to have acted dishonestly. But it must be confessed that for some reason their course in reference to this sewerage business has not been such as to gain credit either for themselves or the city. We are well

aware

speakers in such circumstances. mnm But let us understand each other, Tbe Express says: «''The public growls at the Express.' 7 i... a D..iu.n^a ilkA Pvnrp«s 1&

that the position of councilman

is not an enviable one. There are more curses than thanks for the best men in that position. Everybody wants these

it. Still being there, they

must face the music, and take tbe responsibility of their position. We believe that the council has put itself in

the anenviable

position which It oceu

ft. all nu a»t Iflfl

pies by trying to please all parties. Instead ofcareiully and candidly examining tbi* whole sewerage business, its cost, necessity, and the condition of tho treasury, and making up their

antj

acting accordingly, they

have listened to Tom, Dick and Htfrry, till they do not kuow what they are about. Anything is better than this shilly shally. Euber give us the sewer and let us sweat under the taxes, or else decide not to build it. Let it be one or the other. Either course will rouse the indignation of the party opposing it, and tbe present course is getting up the indignation of all parties. Let the council get posted, if it is not already, so that It shall know mote about this business than anybody else, and then let It go ahead and dodge the brick bats the best it can. Get up a little nerve and assume tbe public that you know your own business best, and that you intend to follow your own judg-

"^As everybody is giving advice, however, nor candid judgment is that tbe bvat thing for all concerned is for the present council to drop the whole matter, provided, of course, that it can honorably get out of its contract with J. W. Miller A Co.

Colonel Forney delivered a lecture in New York the other evening on "Public Life," in wbicb be said of President Grant: "He seems to think that having been oalled to the Presidency as a reward for bis great military services, be can do precisely as be pleases, and no one doubts tbat he is doing it."

It has been said that if there is any thing tbat the Almighty does not Know, it is what will be the verdict of a jury. There is about an equal uncertainty as to what Congress will decide ia reference to the question of expansion or contraction in the currency of the country. The House commits itself in in favor of expansion by nearly a twothirds vote, and then in a half hour turns around and commits itself by an equally strong vote against expansion. It seems to depend upon which can get the last vote.

THE celebrated Siamese Twins died suddenly, on Saturday morning, the 17th inst., at their residence at Mount Very, Surry county, N. C. Chang was partially paralyzed last fall, since which time ho has been fretful, very debilitated, and strongly addicted to drinking as a means of alleviating his sufferings. He had been quite feeble for several days, so much so as to confine the brothers to their bed. On Friday night Chang became worse, and expired suddenly. About four o'clock Saturday morning Eng became so terribly shocked that he raved wildly for a while. This attack was followed by what seemed to be a deadly stupor, and in two hours, it is supposed, from the death of Chang. Eng breathed his last.

THE SURPRISING MAN. Whatever di»r ences of opinion there may be in reference to the talents of President Grant, generally, it must be conceeded that at getting up first-class surprises, he has no equal. This is his forte. He seems to enjoy it hugely. From the selection of bis first cabinet to the present time, he seems to have made it a study to surprise his nation as often as possible. His. last efforts which have been given to tbe selection ofChlef Justice have equalled, if not surpassed, all former ones in the exhibition of his peculiar skill. First he surprised tho people with a candidate whom about half the people were willing to accept lest they should be surprised by a worse one. Next he surprised tbe people by naming a man whom he bad just ordered to Spain, and wbotn all tbe nation thought just tbe man for minister to that court, and with equal or greater unanimity thought unfit lor the ebair of Chief Justice. Now he surprises us again by naming a man "of whom few ever beard, and, greatest and best surprise of all, a man who,—as all who do know him, say—is a good man for the place. All is well that ends well. But these surprises do seetn little risky, a

At the meeting ol the State Educational, Association, at Indianapolis, last week, Septimus Vater, of the Lafayette Journal, in paper upon the sphere and scope of journalism, thus paid bis respects to two classes of the profession. He said of tbe

BLACKGUARD EDITOR.

He tolerates no respectable discussion. You must either give assent to all bis assumptions, or be befenid all over with verbal filth. Ifyou question the soundness of bis positions, or the accuracv of bis statements, he will at once assail yon with personal detraction and ridicule. He will Invade the Banclty of home, and parade private mutters before tbo publicgii®. Ho will dig up or manufacture the vilest scan dais. He apparently thinks the soundness of any position be way take will be sufficiently demonstrated If he can but prove you to be a knave era fool. He Is incapabio of a logical argument, and yet the nibble often give him credit for being an exceedingly smart follow, and attribute to fear of his Intel leotual prowee* hesitancy which reslly proceeds from natural dislike for personal defilement. He Is *ery often as wagged ng bully, yet Is permitted to pan unchallenged for tbe same reason tbat men hesitate to attack a certain four-footed beast renewed for Its fragrant odor, A most disgusting type Is ran turrmt morton.

praying down the saloons, and It works so well that tbe movement is rapidly extending. The plan Is for women to meet in saloons and pray and sing till the keepers give up the business. If any are so ungallant as to refuse to permit the ladies to bold their services in doors, they set ups camp meeting just outside the doors. In one instance, at least, an officer of the law aided them by building a larga bon-fire to keep the praying band warm while at their devotions. Now this is no hoax. Several towns in Ohio have had every saloon within their bounds closed by this process. Have we a sufficient number of praying women with the requisite grit' for such a work One respectable woman at the door of almost any of our saloons, even without prayer, would sensibly diminish the patronage by frightening away those who would not like to have her 8Q6 them going in there. And as "for prayer few men have better reason to fear tbat it would be heard and answered against them than keepers of saloons. Tbey ought to be afraid of it if any body.

Since the foregoing was in type we see tbat this novel plan has crossed the Ohio border and invaded our own State. A special telegram to tbe Indianapolis Journal, from Shelbyville, under date of the 21st, says:

The ladies of this city began the moral suasion temperance movement, this morning, by visiting all the saloons, liquor and drug stores. Prayers were offered for the saloon keepers, and they were entreated to give up their business. They were rudely repulsed by two liquor sellers, but by tbe others they were received with courtesy.

The movement creates no little excitement, and it is the subject of conversation in all circles. Mauy are disposed to deride them, but it is the general opinion that if the ladles only have sufficient moral courage to continue their work they must succeed.

ASRURY CHURCH

Is the one I have to tell about to-day, and a very respectable old church it is. Not handsome outwardly or inwardly, but substantial and neat and comfortable. Its plainness corresponds with its congregation, for it certainly contains few if any strictly fksblonsble folks, but jest Methodists of the good old sort. Not exactly of the old sort, either-Mbr I hardly think thers could, under any circumstances, be so many loud Amens or shoutings as there were In primitive times. Certainly tbere was little, to-day, to indicate tbere could be but then tbe gloomy day and the small attendance was calcula ted to repress enthusiasm, as well as have an effect on the dress and appear ance of the people. Believing, as here tofore intimated in my letters, that

MUSIC IS WORSHIP

And one of tbe most important parts of it, I thought, here is church where we do not expect to find artistic music but where It would be natural to find good, plain, lively singing with the people joining in heartily with a capable choir. Bat here also I was disappointed ss bss bsen the case in other churches. Tbe people failed on their part and the choir might do better if they would. Why should not tbey labor to excel Nothing can be done well without Isber. Genius often has bad the praise when it was drudging work that accomplished the success. Choirs need to realise this smoag other things ss much as those In other spheres. There are several things needed to make a good choir—good voices, taste and industry. To this should be added a spiritual apprehension of music. Art cannot take the place of the religious sentiment in music—tbey must be combined.

THK PASTOR

In his comments on tbe Bible lesson showed great fiMaillarity'witb the good old Book. He wss instructive sod interesting. His prayer was earns* *nd

His manner is peculiar. He seeks after oratorical effects,d ramatic effects, or more properly speaking, he has an eccentric style and it makes all the difference in the world as to its pleasing you, whether you are prejudiced for or against the speaker. I can see how it would please those who have been educated to suoh a style and are ready to be pleased, and I can see how it might repol these brought up in a different school. As I grew up in a different school I was not entirely pleased, but what of it? By chance tbe other day I read an extract from a famous modern preacher in which bespoke of having'reeeived a stranger perception of God through the sostbetic faculty thaa from many strictly religious exercises. That was not the way he expressed it, but is about what he said, and I can agree with him. He said, in connection with this, bow different tho causes are which affect people. One, for instance, takes delight in a dry intellectual sermon, wuile another is only pleased with a leud, dramatic style. And, as 1 have said before, these dliferent tastes and feelings of the people have given rise to the numberless denominations we have, mora as I verily believe than the difference in doctrines. And I suppose we will have these denominations as long as people have these different tastes. For is it not in accordance with other things? You might as well insist on all taking their oysters alike, when each one has his separate liking for afiy or stew or raw from the shell. You see how tolerant I am—that is my mission to preach toleration. You see how calmly, perhaps how drily I talk. That's the way with me: when the preacher gets warmed up, I cool down—then I speak judicially. When the day is wet then I am apt to be dry. I am a bundle of opposite oddities. I have my opinions, but I am not opinionated. Ob, no But I am nervous,that I know—and especially that my time is short. And my paper is short. Your own,

explanation. It where I said something particularly witty about the

Journal, and this typographical error 1st made the most abject nousenso of it. Here you discover my growing patience —I speak of him as an errorist: the day was when I should have designated him as a grown-up devil, and I shonld not have been particular whether you interpreted it as meaning a printer's devil grown up, or a veritable imp of Satan arrived at maturity. By the time I am through this series of letters I shall have attained to perfection In this virtue of patience. And, indeed, the time is short. Would your readers like to know who Is tbe author of these articles Perhaps I may gratify tbem. So far as am conaerned, you know I should be content to dwell in obscurity. If there is any thing in my nature that I am confident of, it is that there is no egotism or vanity about me and the only reason that would Induce me to divulge my name would be the pleasure of the community. 1 must tako another week to consider about it. I should have thought that so lew were at church last Sunday morning, I should have been observed, and I felt considerably nervous in consequence. To be sure, under an old hat and waterproof, as the rainy day required, no one would suspect a brilliant newspaper correspondent, and 1 suspect I am safe yet. I don't want to be found out, you see—if I am known it must be only by my own revelation.

KOHQIANA.

FASHIONABLE DRINKERS.

Editor Saturday Evening Mall: There seems to be just at this time in Terre Haute a special effort on tbe part

|is

««»Aantniv lllrn

of drunkeness which sweeping like

an

avaUnche its poor unfortunate vic-

tims into untimely graves. We very much fear, however, thai our good friends who are laboring so sealously to bring about this much needed reformt in which every lovprof law and order wishes them unbounded success—«r(s making a very serious mistake. The principal aim of these men who bave taken tbe lead in tbe noble work soetns to be directed at the saloons and their degrading influences upon society, evf rlooklng the Tact tbat there are other influences equally as responsible. It Is not only the Baloon-keeper and tlio common drunkard that needs to he brougt hto justice in Terre Haute. These are already made to answer, in part, for violating the law. There is a class of drinkers in this city which style themselves the "elite," which demand the attention of temperance committees far more than the common poor who fall by the wayside and are immediately taken to the station bouse. Our police are not slow In hurrying this latter class to justice, and they are generally fined in accordance with tbe law governing the case, and our morning «nd evening papers publish the uatueg of such offend rs so that all may read and know who they are. But now is it with these fashionable drunkards Are they made to answer in any way for the manv times tbey are found violating tbe same law In precisely the same manner as does tbe poor man. Do tbe officers who are appointed to preserve order and arrest without discrimination every offender of law over find one of these fashionable individuals drunk and noisy. Has anybody ever seen the names of any one of this claas in tbe paper for such misdemeanor never.

I venture to say that not one of them has over been molestod by an officer, no matter how drunk and disorderly they many bave boen found on tbe street but rather they bave been assisted to get home, or to some room where tbey bave bad time to sober off without exposure. Wby is this? One man ia no better than another if both are violators of the law? Is it favoritism on account of money, that assists tbe rich man to bide bis shame and screen him from public exposure while the poor man is calaboosed for the same offence? No one who is upon our streets after ten or eleven o'clock at night, but knows It to be a fact! That scarcely a week paases without somo of this party of fashionable drinkers are seen staggering and hollowing like so msny escaped lunstics and yet tbey are not molested. But let a common drnnkard get drank and talk a little too loud and he goes before Mayor Thomas* which is all right and of which we sre not entering complaint but justice demands tbat theotber man who Is equally guilty, go tbere too, and if our present officers can't get tbem tbere, let it be so understood, and let others be elected who will do eqnal jnstioe to every violator of law, without fear or favor. Irrespective of money or parental Influences. Here Is a grand field for tbe present temperance committee to work In bring this claw of law breakers to justice, and my word sad the experience of other localities for it, you will bave laid tbe groundwork for oomplete reform. See tbat /m*kt0tuMe violation of law is made to pay the penalty, well ss tbe offences of tbe poor man, and yon will have more than half fulfilled your grest mission of temperance. Poos Maw.
