lanAatians Of the President, and of the Gov
errler Of this State, naming the 26th as day |
Of thanksgiving aud Prayer. It is to be
hoped that the day viii be universally OBJ
served: business suspended, and the people
all unite in such public exercises Is will be
most appropriate % the oecesion. IN Ravens
ma, the business rnsn all announce the closing
OF their places of business, and we presume
this course win be general throughout the
County.
z 1t has been suggested. that in every con-
gregaticn assembling on that day, collections
be made for the benefit of the various SOL
disrs' Aid Societies. The suggestion is most
appropriate and it is to be hoped it will uni
yersally form a feature in the observance of
Thanksgiving.
GEN. GArfieId.
In answer 10 many Inquiries addressed to us
concerning Gen, Garfield, we are at liberty to
say, That he will take his seat in Congress, as
the representatives of this, the 18th district.
When we say that We are gratifed at this
decision, we but give public expression, to an
opinion long entertained in private, that he
can, there and how, better serve the country,
than in the field. Is
That he has the confidence of the Presi-
dent and Secretary of War, is amply attested
by the Commission of Major General recent
" rendered him. That he is the choice Of
the loyal men of this district, is also amply
attested, by the majority of g. 525, which gives
him his seat in the House of Representatives
In taking this step Gen. Garfield, with de.
voted patriotism, has left himself out of the
account. and chooses to occupy the less prom
inent, brilliant and remunerative post--but as
We estimate it, more important station. II
doing this, we know how painful has been the
struggle to sever the relation he has held tt
the noble heroes in the held-and we know
full WELL that many a soldiers heart vii
throb with disappointment at this announce
ment--but we fully believe that the best ha.
been chosen. Gen. Garfield will carry to hi.
new position military experience that vii
be most valuable, and no man will exceed
him in faithfulness, earnestness and intelli
gent devotion to the cause of the country. A.
he has been an indefatigable and fearles.
soldier, ever in the front, braving every danger
so will he continue to do battle for the grea
cause; shrinking from no duty, dodging ne
responsibility, and, this too, in position
where mis- every word and action will tell up
on the destinies of the country, in the field
and in the courts of legislation.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 6, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR There has been diversity
of opinion as to whether promissory notes of
$40, and under, should be stamped to be le-
gal. 1t has been decided by the Commission
er of Internoi Revenue that they must be
stamped and that every person giving such
note is liable to fine of $50 if they do not
afix the proper stamp. =
The reading of Sec. 6 of the amendatory
act of March 8. 1868, on this subject, unless
examined carefully, would lead to the adop-
tion of this error.
BY inserting the above in your paper you
may save many of your readers from loss and
difficulty. Truly yours,
A. P. STONE,
Collector 7th District of Ohio.
