EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

TWO EDITIONS

Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening ha* a large circulation In the surrounding towns, where it la sold by newsboy* and agent*. fhe SECOND EDIWON, ou Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city, and the farm era of this immediate vicinity.

Kvery Week's Issue is, in fact, TWO NEWSPAPERS, which all Advertisements appear for

SUITS

MAKING HASTE.

One of the great points in success is to know how long a time it takes to sac oeed," said Pascal. Americans are much given to haste. They expect to accomplish great results in a brief space of time. In professional life distinction is expected at the outset. If the youn^ lawyer has not achieved a reputation in three or four years he is suspected of being a failure. In business life if a fortune 1B not gained by thirty-five, the young man is not brilliant, to say the least of it. This haste to reach results makes our work crude and superficial. Wo have not, as a nation, (of course there arc individual exceptions) tbo depth and thoroughness of older countries. Our young men start out in some business or profession and, not having properly estimated the length of time necessary to succeed in it, get discouraged and give up before they have had time to really test the matter. They fly to something else, abandon that and thus waste in an idle chase which brings no valuable re suits, years that might have gained for them distinction and competency in any field had they but remained in it. Such oft^n appreciate, when too late, the wisdom of those who chooso some work early in life and cling to it without wavering until old age gives thfem an honorable discharge.

The fact is, time is a necessary ele ment in every great achievement, takes nature one whole long summer to grow and ripen a single apple. No good work is done in a hurry. Charles Dickens, the king of novelists, wrote with painful laboriousness. A day's work added but few pages to his book, and these were perhaps to be half erased on the morrow. The painter's day adds little patch of sky or a bit of drapery to his picture the sculptor removes a bit of marble dust from the statue which so slowly takes on the semblance ot the human form.

IT eannot be known with any oertalnty for at least a week yet, what is going to be the result in Louisiana. The returning board, jealously watched by a committee selected from among the ablest and most eminent men of both parties, is patiently engaged in canvassing the vote and we have perfect faith that their work will be aonsclentiously performed. And when it is done and the result annouueed, the people of both partiea should accept it as final and show the world an example of the moderation and good sense that preserves this Repa hlio and makea it strong We do certainly and meat sincerely desire the election of Hayes, and shall bitterly regret his defeat, if it so happen that be is defeated. At the same time we do not believe that the country would be so immeasurably worse off with Tilden as President. We have not much confidence in the loyalty of the Solid South, but we have unshaken faith In the oon tinned patriotism and goed senae of the Democratic masses In the North, and no fear that they ever submit to the country's ruin, even by their present allies, tne discontented and unrepentant rebels of the Southern States. For the changes that will take pl*ce among the oiii'-J bt id^rs w© care wry little, that goad men are appointed in thejr places,

Nothing misleads the looker-on so much as final results. The years and yaars of patient toil are not beheld in the magnificent building that bursts like a revelation upon the eye of him who flist beholds it. We liste* entranc ed to the glowing sentences of the orator, never suspecting the long and toilsome road by which he has reached this splendid goal. The apple tree, weighed down with ita golden October fruitage, does not suggest to the mind the white sprine blossoms and the tiny green bulbs swelling with infinite slowness through the long, sultry sum mer. \id who could have learned from witnessing tho explosion of Hell Gato the grand feat of engineering which for sevoral long years had been silently going forward in the ro^ks beneath the ver's bed And yot it is by final re suits that people too often judge. The beglner is constantly comparing himself with the mi Idlo-aged toiler. It is time we realliaod the foolishness of such comparison* and learned the lesson once for all that years of honest, earnest anu persevering labor are necessary to wiu real swcce« in any field of hnman labor. When we have learned this lesson ve will make haste more slowly and achieve results of which we shall not need to be ashamed.

Countess Mary Joannlni (for

merly Miss Mary Harrington, of Washington,) has addressed an appeal to the American people in behalf of the destitute and suffering people of Servia. She states that the official computation of the number of homeless people ap-. proaches two hundred and fifty thousand. These unfortunate people—women, children and men too iuflrm to serve in the army—wander without guide and without means on the highways and in the woods, and the winter season will find them exposed to cold and hunger, without being able to be relieved by their impoverished compatriots. Unspeakable hardships and suffering, and the death of thousands frotn cold and starvation, must inevitably ensue unless efficient measures for relief are instituted. The Countess states that her plan is to establish at Belgrade an economical kitchen, and to snperintend personally the distribution of soup, meat and bread. The appeal should not fall upon heedless cars, and the press of tbo country should give it Btich circulation tnd support as to as sure a prompt and generous response from tho American people, g,

WHEN Abraham Lincoln was ac didate fur the Pres dency the first time I used my vote and all my influence to keep him out and when, in spite of mo and tny influence, be was elected, shouldered a musket and fought three years to keop hint in, a id I'm ready to do the same thing for Samuel J. Tilden if it shall turn out that ho has beeu fair ly and honestly elected." That is speech we heard made the other day by as active and ardent.a Republican as there is in Vigo county, and wo know he meant every word of it and further than that we believe it is the spirit and sentiment of the Republican jiarty of nhis Country. There may be, and doubt less are individuals who would resort to any means to secure tho fruits of victo ry, but they no more represent the masses of the Republican party than Boss Tweed represents Democracy. If Rutherford B. Hayes has received a majority of the electoral votes—no matter how small a majority—they want him to be President. If he ha- not received a majority, ho can not be. He shall have fair play—and so shall Tilden.

PROF. SWING takes the recent election as a "most thrilling proof that we are all learning to look to general principles more than to individual men, for in this crisis when two candidates are standing equally near to, and equally far from the highest public office, the two multitudes which led them toward office by the wildest shouts of friendship and confidence have for the most part become silent now, and luiily hope that there will be some law found which will come in and mark out what is just, and with a justice blind as to persons. The ma jority of those who cast their votes re cently, confess now that they no longer worship their hero half so much as they worship a justice thst shall speak, with out seeing the parties at the bar. It will be a blessing that the nation has come to such a crisis, if this crisis shall develop a worship of principle greater than the worship of party."

EVEN Democrats, we think, may congratulate themselves that in this trying perio of uncertainty and danger, a man of nerve and promptness, as well as judgment, is at the head of national af fairs. Under circumstances such as at present exist, it would be a very simple matter for a weak and vascillatipg President to precipitate a bloody war. With foolish newspapers in almost every neighborhood doing their utmost to stir up bad feeling and inflame the public mind, even here in peaceful Indiana calling on their readers to shoulder their muskets and march South to compel the acknowledgement of Tilden's election, it is well for all of us that a cool bead and clear strong will controls at Washington. President Grant is net the man to tbriuk from grave responsibilities. He will have justice dene and It may be set down, th»re'U bo no war.

THE Board of Canvassers of Louisiana began their work Monday. It is expected to occupy not leas than two weeks. So far as it has been proceeded with it has apparently been done with perfect fairness and even the Democrats can find no reasonable ground for complaint. The result will probably show the State to have gone for Hayes and Packard. In fact it may be said there dees not exlata reasonable doubt of this.

In South Carolina certificates of election have been issued to the Hayes and Wheeler elector* and all the Republican 8tate ticket. The action of the board has created some excitement, and Gen* eral Hampton has Issued an address characterising it as a high banded outrage," but no trouble is anticipated.

In Florida everything Is quiet, and It Is believed that the count will show the State Republican without throwing out a single illegal vote.

A NKW plan for making snail legacies go A great way has recently been devised and seems to be becoming popular. The invention has not been pateuted and if anj reader of The Mail wants to endow a c. liege, museum or public library be is at liberty to adopt and use it. The plan is to put a certain sum of money out at interest, the latter to be compounded on je or twice a year, and the whole to be allowed to acuutnulate for say fifty years, and then applied to the object for which it was originally Intended. A young may thus, by the iu vestment sf a small sum, provide for his old age, a father for his children, or a philanthropist for the hHtnan racc. One of the latest illustrations is afforded by the will of the late Judge Hiram Bellows, of St. Albans, Vermont, which has recently been made public. It gives $25,090 and a building site in Fairfax, Vermont, to establish a Bellows Free

Academy when the Interest and principal reach *250,000, or in about thirty years, and the same sum an? a lot to found, fifty years hence, a Bellows Free Academy at St. Albans.

ONE of the queerest dispositions of private property has recently been made by Lyman Jennings, of Atbol, Massachusetts. He has given to that town the sum of $9,000 under the following conditions: He is to be paid the sum of 5540 a year during his life, and after his death his wife is to receive $180, and bis three children, Mary, Nathan and Addie, $120 a year each during their lives. The property is then to revert to the town. Although these conditions make the gift a kind of lifo.investment for Jennings and his family, the town has decided to accept it. The conclusion is that Jennings distrusted his ability to take care of what he had and therefore coveted a "sure thing."

THE great cyclone w^ich on tho 31st of October swept up tho Bay of Bengal, proves, as further infoimation is received, to have been one of tho most appalling disasters ever known. A great wave, to the depth in many plaoes of twenty feet, swept over the cluster of islands to the eastward of the mouths of the Ganges, entirely submerging them and also the mainland for mi'es inland. Two-thirds of the population were destroyed. The islands alone were inhabited by three or four hundred thousand people. To add to the horrors of the calamity, the putrifying of tho dead bodies is breeding cholera, of which a general outbreak is feared.

AFTEK the war two great mistakes wero made by the Republican party and now thd Country is suffering from them. One was the hasty enfranchisement of disfranchised rebels, and tho other tho equally hasty enfranchisement of the ignorant negroes the South. It would have been much better if tho first had been put off at least a generation, and tho latter till the bfack man was able to prove his worthiness by his enlightenment. Too much "suffrage" has been the bane of this country and is the chief element of its weakness. Intelligence and loyalty should be the tests and not sex cr oolor.

A NUMBER of the most shocking accidents have occurred during the week. A large party driving in a wagon at night to a wedding, in the vicinity of Cincinnati, were precipitated from a bridge twenty-five feet to the bed of a creek and a dozen of them badly injured, two or three fatally. In Sacramento. California, during a performance at Moore's Opera House, the floor gave way killing seven and wounding about one hundred spectators. A similar accident took place at Perrvville, New York, during church entertainment and a largo number of women and children were seriously hurt. -t

The next 4th of March, as many of our readers know, will fall on Sunday, and the President cannot be inaugurated till the Monday following This can happen only once in twenty-eight years, and March 4tb will not fall on that day again until the year 1905. Three Presidents have been.Inaugurated on the 5th since the foundation of our government. The first was George Washington, on enter ing his second term. The next was Jnmes Monroe, and the third was in 1840 when Zachary Taylor took the oath ot office on Monday, March 5th.

THKRK IS a suspicion that the attempted larceny of President Lincoln's bones, which was prevented in such a highly sensational msnner and accounted for by the exposure of such a fiendishly concocted plot to stesl them snd demand payment of 9800,000 and the liberation of a pal now In the penitentiary as the pries of their return, was only skillfully contrived scheme of a detective officer to make himself Superintendent of the Chicago Police Force.

SCAKLKT tickets in Louisiana and yellow tickets In Georgia were used by ths Democrats. A oolored Republican bad to have some nerve who, after having stood op against the bulldosscs before the election, took a plain ticket, and In the sight of a throng of Democratic bystanders, deposited it It la not to be much wondered st if hundreds of tbem staye*. sway from the polls.

OWE hundred and thirty-five newspapers and periodicals are regularly published in Chicago, on which the postage paid during the fiscal year ending July 30, 1S70, was $74,253.73. Of this amount the Inter Ocean paid $13,167.52.

THERE is' a well-founded suapicion that the celebrated returning board of Louialana may, after all, be nothing more nor less than a disguised coolingboard on which one or the other of the parties is cortain to be laid oet.

IN this country probably one man in a hundred makes bis living out of politics, and he is not always the best man either, but it is undisputed that he has more influence in the conduct of affairs than all the ninety and nino.

MR. BLAINE repudiates tho story that he is to be made President of tho Senate and possible President of the United States. Ho says he couldn't get the place if he wauted it and wouldn't it if he could get it.

THE members of Congress elected this fall, take their seats on the first Monday in December, unless called in extra session after the 4th of March by the President.

THE canvass of the vote in all the uhcontested parishes in Louisiana has been finished and the Republicans have a majority of 9,274. JI

NORTH CAROLINA baa had a shower of flo«h. The pieces varied from half an ounce to an ounce in weight and con tinued tailing for some time.

CONGRESS will meet on the 4th of December, a little more than a week now. The President is hard at work on his annual message.

IN this painfully protracted struggle for the Presidency, it should not be forgotten that Peter Cooper was a candidate.

GOVERNOR WILLIAMS' inauguration will take place on the 8th of January, 1877.

ON the 6th of December—oqe weow from next Wednesday—the Electors will vote for President. 1«

WE may know the result in time for Thanksgiving, but it is doubtful.

AND still the conundrum isn't settled.

AKI, may the best man win

AN address published by the colored men of Louisiana on the 19th inst. closes with the followingsuggestive paragraph:

Of the signers to this appeal two have been whipped for refusing to vote the Democratic ticket at this Presidential election. One of these stripped naked and whipped, is covered with welts and gashes from his head to his heels, and escaped from his fiendish tormentors through a United States military escort. The other was taken fiom his cabin on the night befere the Presidential election, at midnight, and stripped, and whipped by a dozen or more white men, each taking turns as they became tired, sometimes three or four whipping at a time, until his finger nails and two fingers were whipped off. He was then left fainting and alone upon the ground. Next morning the same Democratic "bulldozers" marched him to the polls, the victim so stiff and sore that every movement of the body In endeavoring to drag its slow length along caused the most excruciating agony, and they compelled him to put in the ballot box a Democratic Tilden ticket with the bleeding stumps of fingers their generous chivalry bad jet left him. These outrages were not committed by insignificant Democrats, but their leader is a practicing physician in the parish, and his assisting bulldozers are sons of what they call the first families. Thousands of colored poople have been subjected totheseout rages at every election for attempting to exercise tho right of freemen in the State of Louisiana. It seems as if the goyernmei and the people of the North had turned a deaf ear upon us and forgotten us. We do not ask for bread or money. Tlieso we have the muscle and industry to produce, but we do ask an ussurance from the people of tbo North that some method shall be provided for our security in the exercise of our rights as American freemen.

SUCH IS FAME. [From tho N. Y. Dispatch.]

Tho Democratic Terre Haute (Ind Journal says in one of its lateet issues: TUe Tilden men of the North and South will not be cheated or counted out. We ap peal to all our brethren, to Democratic Governors and Democrats everywhere to and fast in the faith, to come up to the grand work which the hour may yet call for. Wc say It, that the* nlted States, by a quarter of a million majority, have called Samuel J. Tilden to thechalr of state. The majority rules. The majority will fight If then* are no sther means to save this country Are we cowards and slaves? Is the spirit which made us freemen and the States a Republic,now dead? Let the Republicans dare evoke the wrath of this nation. Wn put down rebels once and it can be done again. All the Democrat, ssk Is for an hoti est coast, and an honest election, and for that they must even fight or become foreviT brandoalssdoianls and time-servers, when the crisis call for heroism and courage.

The editor of this ferocious and blood thirsty organ of the Hoosler Democracy ia one Colonel Oookerly, who wrote articles of the same savage description just prior to the breaking out of the Rebellion in 1861. Then, too, he blustered terribly about fighting the Republicans, about heruisin ana courage. Down South probably they thought this ferocious man would really draw bias word for their cause bat no sooner had hostilities commenced, then all btoconta^o oosed out at his flngera's ends, and ep the afternoon of April 16th, 1861. the valiant Colonel Cooker I v, in obedience to the indignant demands of the people of Terre liaute, hoisted the Stan and Stripea upon bis office, and publicly declared, with pallid countenance and trembling kneee, his adhesion to the cause of the Union.

AM USEMENTS.

The Furbish company played" "Divorco" at the Opera House Monday evening. A largo audienco assembled and a large audienco dispersed disappointed. The manager, with an inferior company is running on the good reputation of the former excellent one—much to his damage if he expects to visit this city again.

About the mast satisfactory of the series of home theatricals yet given was that on last evening at tbo Opera House. The Merchant of Venice was the play, and evory momWer of the cast did well his or her part Mr. Pellissier gave an intensely realistic picture of Shvlock Mr. Hanclictt did not have much to do as Antonia, but he read it in his usual careful manner. Miss Victoria Richter gave us the best piece of acting that she has yet done before an English audience. •,r' '..... .'

On Monday and Tuesday "evenings, Lucillo Western, supported by the Stevens Combination will Appear at the Opera House—giving on the first night

Miami, or tho Huntress of the Mississippi," and on the second night tho great sensational play of "The Child Stealer." Sho has been playing witlt this company at Tndianapolis this week, and the papers over there are enthusiastic in praise. The Sentinol of yesterday says:

The largest house o' the week was at tho Grand last night to SPO Lucillo Western and the Stevens combination in "The Child Stealer." The siz' of tho audience inspired the tvtors, and the representation was nearly faultless. All the members of this company are winning golden opinions for tliemtfelves. and thoir return later in tho season will be a source of much pleasure to theater goers, lo night, by special request tliey repeat, "The Child S ealer," instead of proaucing "Leah," as advertised. Parties desiring seats should go oarly or secure their seats in advanco, AS the houses have been getting larger with each succeeding performance. It was full lRst night, and will be crowded to-night."

Billy Pastor, 4 brother of Tony Pastor, will appear at the Opera Mouse Wednesday evening, at the head of a first «lass vaudeville or variety company, among which we notice the Foy Sisters, who made such a decided hit when hero last season with Tony Pastor. Seats can be secured at Button & Hamilton's.

Madame Rentz's Female Mintrels will play at the Opera Houso on Thanksgiving afternoon and evening. Tho feature of this party is Miss Mabel Southerly, who was so long Lydia Thompson's second in England. Tho others are Miss Emily Vaughan, Miss Blanche Sefton and Miss Jossie Verlandor. The ontire party contains 23 poople, and their show consists of a femalo minstrel first part, an olio of specialties, and the burlesques of "Ixion" and "Fra Diavolo." The afternoon performance will afford a pleasant entertainment for ladies and children on Thanksgiving day.

Mr. C. S. Anderson will play Rip Van Winkle on the evening of December 4th, and Mr. Hanchett is to do "Virginius, the Roman Father," on tbo 2oth.

LADIES All) SOCIETY.

The ontertainment giveu at DoWling Hall, by this society on Thursday evening was an exceedingly pleasant affairs and reasonably well attend^!. The hall was tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers, the music was excellent and the tables for tho sale of fancy articles and refreshments unusually attractive. Considering the worthy objoct of tbo entertainment, there ought to havo been more people there, but still it cannot be said that it was not fairly successful in this respect. Tho lunch yesterday was well patronized and was, by all odds, the nicest one that has ever been offered in this city. Wo will venture that no hotel In town had more or nicer things to eat th^i were here offered to the hungry public at 50 ocnls a head. We should have been glad to have the ladies realize more money from their enterprise, but perhaps considering all the unfsvortble circumBtanoee—the 'hsrd times,' etc.—they did as well as could reasonably have been been expected. At any rate, they themselves do not complain, but are grateful for the asshtance rendered them. In this oonnection it msy be well to remind everybody, that though this festival Is over and no more public appeals for aid are likely to made soon, the society should not be forgotten. Donations of oasb, clothing, provisions, fuel and otber articles msy be sent In at any time with the assurance that tho gifts will be gratefully received and worthily used for the relief of the suffering poor.

NEWS FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS. In about ten days, there will be placed on exhibition, at the Cent Store, a gorgeous doll baby which the proprietors of that popular establishment proposes to giveaway to some one of their customers, on New Years dsy.
