From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.--The census bureau
is in receipt of returns from all the States,
South Carolina included. In few scatter
ing districts however the returns are
withheld.
Returns from the Territory of New
Mexico are now on the way to Washington,
and those of Utah and Kansas have only
in part come to hand.
In all cases with one exception laws
have heretofore been passed to extend the
time for taking the census. AS to the
present one, they have been rendered within
a shorter period than ever before but not in
time to enable the Secretary of the In
terror to communicate to Congress at the
commencement of the session.
Among the latest arrivals of Congress
men is Senator Davis of Mississippi.
Secretary Cobb was absent from the
Cabinet to-day, on account of sickness.
The Presidents Annual Message has been
placed in the printers hand.

E6T HANBUJER, the man of wonders and
the wondrous man, will be here tomorrow.
He is famous for playing innocent tricks up
on travellers, and turning the heads of the
marvellous and if we hear of any miracles
or mysterious jokes being done, We shall say
nothing but Hambujer. Look out for him.
Remember, he performs at Mozart Hall to-
morrow night. OF course all who are fond
of fun and good music will go. His little

The Currency Movement.

1t will be seen by card in our advertlS-
ing columns, that the business men of Mar
ket street have resolved to act upon their
own knowledge and judgment in the pres
ent troubles respecting the currency, and to
receive it at par, Notwithstanding the ilGba-
lty or HnwiIJngneSS of our brokers and pri-
| vate bankers to convert it or receive it iu
payment for notes maturing. These names
represent a large amount of capital. We
consider il judicious movement, and hope
they will meet the encouragement their
selfreliant course so well merits.-,St Louis
Republican, 26h.
The merchants in question offer to sell
their goods at regular cash prices, through
| the present season, and take in payment
the notes of Illinois, Wisconsin and other
sister State banks (usually denominated
currency at par Also that they will re-
ceive the same at par in payment of all
debts due them.
All, or nearly all, our business men re-
ceive such money at par, but the banks re-
fuse it. 1t is gladly taken by our retailers
and our retail grocers readily find a place
for it with our wholesale houses in that line
Of business at par. What the wholesale
merchants do with it we don't know
There is one thing certain-they don't suf-
fer much loss on it..
One consideration makes Illinois curren-
cy (the bulk of it) go here, viz; 1t can be
paid out for produce, of which there is
abundant in that State. In this way Ev-
ansviIIe can get rid of much of this cur
rency.
This kind of carfency is a great nuisance,
but we are SO closely connected by trade
with Illinois that we must endure its
amongst US. 1t is offered our
merchants when they go out to collect, and
they can not refuse it in payment of debts
due them. If they refuse to take it at par
they run the risk of offending their custom
ers and losing their trade.
1t is hoped that the present ordeal will
have the effect to purify the currency of II
inois. 1t needs it badly. Indiana, four
years ago, had similar trouble with her
stock banks, but the people applied correct
YES until the law under which they were
was amended and the whole sys-
.em changed. The weak banks were broken
lown; the strong ones strengthened, and the
hundred and odd, good bad, and Indifferent,
-educed to about twenty, whose issues are
low unquestioned, and which stood through
he great crisis of 1878.
We hope the new State officers in our
lister State may signalize their advent by a
thorough overhauling Of the present bank
ng system of that State, that it so much
needs. The present state of things in this
aspect is disgrace to Illinois, which her
'eople can not too soon wipe out.

Thamks gIving Day.

This is the day set apart by Executive re-
commentator in accordance with imme-
mortal usage, as a day on which there should
be a general suspension of business, in order
that the people of the State may join with
each other in returning thanks to the Great
Author of their existence for the many bless
ings which he has showered upon them.-
Incidental to this, it is the settled custom in
the New England States, and is fast becom-
ing so in the West, for families and friends
to meet together around the domestic board
and partake, with due gratitude TO their
beneGcent Given, of the good things of
life
These customs are peculiarly American,
and to the heart Of Il person raised to observe
them, they are not inferior in sacredness to
the observances OF Christmas or Independ-
ence Day. It is well that this strong re-
gard for the day exists, for it is calculated to
increase our veneration for God, purify our
affections for our fellow men, and wean us
from that inordinate love of the world
and its vanities which, when INDUCED in to
too great an extent, destroys all the finer feel
ings of Our nature.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that this re-
commendation of the Executive authority,
and this prompting Of our better nature to
return thanks for blessings received, will |
lead to a general disrontinuance of business |
the same as on Sabbath. Let US lay aside |
the cares Of the world for to-day, and join in
the services Of the sanctuary, and afterwnrd
in the pleasures of the social circle.
In response to the recommendation of
the Governor, collections will we presume
be taken up in the various churches for the
sufferers from famine in Kansas. There is
much suffering out there, and all who give
or SO worthy an object will be doing
great service to humanity, and will certain
y receive their reward.
Let those who have plenty Of this worlds
goods remember likewise that we have the
poor with Us. When you sit down to your
boards, bear in mind that many
are needing the necessaries of life. Show
your appreciation Of the bounties you are
receiving from your Creator, by
ending helping hand to his helpless chill
lren. In this way may your thankfulness
De made manifest
