DISSEMINATION.

~ the President u the UnitsA Dtats6.
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, hsa
been pleased to vouchsAfe to us, q .peopls
another year Of that national life which il -
indispensable condition of peace, security
and progress. That year, moreover, haa
been crowned with many peculiar blessingt.
The civil war that was so recently among ps
has not been anywhere reopened. Foreign
Intervention has ceased to excite alarm OF
apprehension; intrusive pestilence has been
benignly mitigated domestic tranquility has
improved; sentiments OF Cancellation have
largely prevailed, and affections Of loyalty
and patriotism have been widely renewed.
Our fields have yielded quite abundantly
our mining industry has been richly reward
ed. and we have been allowed TO extend ouI
railroad system far into the interior recesses
Of the country, while our commerce has re-
sumed its customary activity in foreign seas.
These great national blessings demand . ma
| tional acknowledgment.
| Now THEREroRE, l, Andrew johnson
| President Of the United States, do hereby
recommend that Thursday, the twenty ninth
day of November next, be set apart and be
observed everywhere in the several States
and Territories of the United States, by the
people thereof, rs day Of Thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God, with due remem
brance that IN His temple doth every mar
speak Of His honor. I recommend, also
that on the same solemn occasion we do hum
bly, and devoutly implore Him TO grant to oul
national councils and to our whole people
that divine wisdom which alone can lead any
nation into the ways of all good.
In Offering these national thrnksgivings
praises, and supplications We have the Di
vine assurance that the Lord remaineth ,
king forever. .sThem that IRE meek shall
He guide in Judgment, and such as are gen
tie shall he learn His way" 1.-THE LORI
shall give strength to his people, and thu
Lord shall give to his people the blessings o
peace"
/ In witness whereof, have hereunto sc
my hand, and caused the seal of the Unite'
States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington this 9Th da,
Of October, in the year Of Our Lord On
Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty six
and OF the Independence of the Unite
States the Ninety>frst.

wuxRr n THAT CokRUPTI0H
FUND.- ~1

The Combination explains the defeat Of the
Copper;ohnsonitss on Tuesday, in this city,
thus, This result i clearly owing to the
disbursement by The Radicals of thousands Of
dollars Of corruption fund, sent here from
the East for The purpose Of carrying this Dis>
trict in favor Of JAxss f. WILSON against
Gen. WAaHxx.'' The shabhiest txick Of
shabby CopperheAd politicians i to attribute
their defeat to the corruption of the people !;
to charge that the peoples votes have been
purchased With money. 1t is because, despite
their professions, they have not confidence
in the masses. This charge of the Coxsfitu
tion is libel upon every man that voted the
Union Republican ticket--a libel - malicious
as it sfalse. The charge is especially directed
against the German Republicans of our city,
who voted our ticket and gave us our hands
some majority. The Consultation charges
these men with having been bought up with
money furnished by Eastern monopolists.
The charge is utterly false, and that organ
knew it, but it vents in that way its hate and
spleen against our German citizens for their
loyalty and their Independence. If 1t thinks
to make political capital in that way it is teri
ribly mistaken. Let the Consultation prove
that any of our German or American Repub.
hcans we're purchased to support our ticket,
or it will be convicted and condemned in
public estimation Of wholesale falsshood and
Islander.

DURING the war CLAGErT ranted and raved
after every election, charging that the SOL
diers in the Hospital, 1.-THE Lincoln hirehngs,n
carried the election in this city by mob vio-
lence. And now that the war is over and the
soldiers continue to vote as they fought against
rebels, he still continues to fave at our MAJ
jorities and charges that they we're procured by
fraud, bribery and mob violence.
1t is time that the treason.dyed, contempt,
ible old Butternut should cease his rampant
and villainous abuse of the citizens of Keo.
kuk. Can't the pur-blind old Rebel see tina,
the results of the election all oyer the coun.
try are of the same character as that in Keo-
kuk, and are simply the expression of the
honest and enthusiastic patriotism of free
people?

Additional indications continue to reach us
Of disposition on the part Of the South to
regard the Constitutional Amendment with
more favor than heretofore. The Savannah
Republican, up to this time supporter of the
Presidential plan, now talks in this wise :
''The decidedly gloomy prospects Of the
Conservative party in the Northern States
have brought the Constitutional Amendment,
about which so little has been said of late,
prominently before the people. As the
ultimatum of the Congressional party It is
most important that all should understand ex-
acty what it is--that each one should fa-
miliarize himself with both the spirit and let
ter, and having done SO, show determins>
ton TO discuss it with moderation and for
beannce. We are confident that if it be
considered in the proper temper, by North
and South, there will be mutual concession
most advantageous to the interests of the
whole country, and particularly to this sec>
ton. In this view of the case, we regret to
! find some of our Southern contemporaries
springing the question as 10 whether the dom
inant party viii be satisfied, supposing them
successful in securing its acceptance blythe
requisite number of States. No earthly gpod
can come from this Rather let what is right
be done. and let there be no holding back
through apprehension that it will lead Others
to do wrong Is it best for the South, is the
only question to be passed upon, and the only
one that can be answered with any degree oil
certainty, for we do no, happen to be gifted
| with the mental provision which would en-
able us to look into mems minds and read
the secrets Of their hearts, or their intention,
for the future. As a mere matter ofopinion
we would say that nothing more will be re-
CURED; that if the rampant radicalism of the
North should attempt to lead of for still
greater demands. the people will refuse tc
follow. The leaders who are most violent in
their denuncations must have something o.
Justice to stand on, 10 maintain themselves
before the intelligent masses, and this they
cannot long have If the people of the S6utt
will but act well their part. 1t is IN Their
power to cause those blatant wind bags whe
employ their Imagination in devising new
punishments, instead of striving to heal the
wounds of the past, to collapse into nothing
| ness. We leave it to the friends of the South
| to decide ss to the propriety of using it.

The election passed off very quietly yester-
day, considering the interest taken, and ex-
ertions made by both parties.
Wilson has majority in this township
over Fitz Henry, of Al; gain of s.
The entire Union ticket is elected by in
creased majorities ; this we think is glori-
Gus, for the Copperheads came out in force
and secured the township, bringing in the
lame, halt and blind; but they can't win
here. o. Fl. P. Scott. formerly soldier,
the leading Coppe1ohnson candidate on the
township ticket, for whose election the party
did their best, ran behind his ticket.
Its hoped that the election will teach this
Brsad-and butter party here as elsewhere
that "My Policy" is "played out"

An A. JpHSsos SPECULATION. AT q time
when the railroads of the country were need
ing all the rolling stock they could get, and
we're willing to pay for it in cash, Presiden,
johnson ordered l64 engines and 1850 cars,
to be sold at cash prices on long credit, ia
Southern railroads, for the enormous amour,
Of 81, 428, 20496, while the cash sales were
only 1906, 73o. 80. OF that sold on credit,
not one fifth has yet been paid and much of i,
never will be. 1t was generous offer to the
Southern railroads, inviting them to come
back into the Union and receive the rev car.
and engines the Union had built at the ma
tons expense. They accepted the invita-.
ton; but only one of these roads has as yet
paid in full for the rolling stock thus pur

South BEND, Ind, Oct g.
An immense Union demonstration was held

men and eleven hundred wagons were in the
procession. Fifteen to twenty thousand were
present. Eloquent speeches were made by
Senator Howard, of Michigan, Mr.. Ander.

At a Democratic rally at Mishawaka, the
Democrats attacked the Unionists, who had
Colfax badges, and stabbed eight. One OF

have been punished promptly.
