In conformity with recent Gus
tom that may now be regarded as
established by national consent
and approval, /. Andrew John son,
President of the United States, DO
hereby recommend to my telloW-cit-
Zcns that THURSDAY. TIE TWENTY
EIGHT DAY or NOVEMBER NEXT,
be set apart and observed. through
ont the Rcpublic, as day OF Ma
tional Thanksgiving and Praise to
the Almighty Ruler Of Nations with
whom are dominion and power, and
who makes peace in lis high places.
Resting and retaining from sec
ular labor on that day, let us revcr-
rcHtaliy and dcyouty give thanks
to our Heavenly Father for the mer-
cics and blessings with which He
has crowned the now closing year
Especially let us remember hat He
has covered our land throughout all
its extent with the greatly needed
and very abundant harycStS; that
/ lie has caused industry to prosper
not only in our fields, but also in
our forests; that He has permitted
MS to multiply our ships upon our
. lakes and rivers, and upon the high
/ seas, and, mt the same time, to eX-
tend orr iron roads SO far into the
secluded places Of the continent as
20 guaranty speedy overland inter,
course between The two oceans.
lie has inclined orr hearts to turn
away from domestic contentious
connections consequent upon a dis.
tracing and dcsolating, cruel war,
and to walk more and more in the
ancient way of loyalty, concession
and brotherly love.
Ilc has blessed the peaceful efforts
with which we have established
new and important commercial trca-
ties with foreign nations, while we
have at the same time strengthened
our national delcnces, and greatly
enlarged our national borders.
While thus rendering the uHani.
NOUS and heartfelt tribute ofnation-
al praise and thanksgiving which is
4 50 justly due to Almighty God, let
us not fail TO implore Him that the
same divine protection and care,
which we Lave Hitherto so unde.
scrYcdly and yet so constantly en-
Ijoyed, may be continued to our
country and our people through all

The Mobile Removals.

1t is generally understood in official
quarters that the President has about de-
cided to interfere in the matter of the
removals made by General Swayne, of
the Mayor, Councils and police of Mo-
bile, by revoklng the military orders in
Il ose cases, made and provided, and by
res toring the displaced municipsl officials
to their respective positions. He places
his right to do this on the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Mississippi in
junction cases, wherein it is held that
the duties Of the Generals commanding
the several Military Districts must neces-
sarily be performed under the supervis-
ion of the President, as Commander.in>
Chief, and that the duty thus imposed
was in no sense ministerial, but was
purely executive and political The
President assumes that the facts present.
ed in General Swayne's report of the
Mobile riot, in which it is declared that
the disturbance was not preconcerted,
and that the only charge against the police
was that of timidity, are not sufficient to
warrant their removal by the military,
and that the order should be revoked.
The whole question was before the CABS
met, and the official report of General
Pope, which is the opposite of &c neral
swayne's report, was discussed. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the order restoring
the Mobile officers will be issued before
the President leaves for North Carolina.

A Presidential Calculation.

A writer in New York paper has been
making an estimate of the comparative
strength of political parties in the country,
and what the result of an election would be
in certain contingencies which are not likely
to occur. Giving the Democrats all the un.
organized States and Connecticut, the Res
publicans would have 900 electoral votes TO
90 for the Democrats.
q If New York be given to the Democrats,
the Republicans would still have in 1.-The
electoral college one hundred aud eighty
seven votes, to one hundred ard thirty two
Democrats. If New York and Pennsyva-
mia are both given to the Democrats. this
would make the electoral college stand one
hundred and sixty-one Republicans to one
hundred and fifty eight Democrats. If Con-
necticut, which is given to the Democtats in
the list, should go Republican, this would
give the Republicans fifteen of majority
with the loss to them of New York and
Pennsylvania If the Republicans should
lose these States and New Jersey, and gain
Connecticut they would still have a major
ity in the electoral college.
Assuming that the uporganized States
will be sufficiently rebabilitated to vote at
the next Presidential election, the contest
will be close enough to be interesting, to
say the least.

Our Ticket.

The several gentlemen who have sue
ceeded in obtaining the nomination are the
choice of the people, and are therefore en-
titled to the unanimous support of the Re-
publican party, which we have no doubt
they will receive.
James T. M'Junkin, our nominee for
Assembly, is wel>known to the citizens of
our county, and the fact of his having Sc
cured the nomination, is stronger argument
in his favor, than anything that we could
say. lie is well qualified for the position
for which he has been nominated, and will,
undoubtedly, be elected by handsome ma
jority.
Hugh Morrison, of Slipperyrock township,
our candidate for Treasurer, needs no COM
mendation at our hands. lie was one of the
brave men, who early in the commencement
Of the rebellion, volunteered in defence of
his country as private soldier, and for bra
very, was in a short time promoted to first
Sergeant, and was severely wounded by a
gun shot passing entirely through the head, ,
causing the entire loss of the left eye. Not
withstanding this severe wound. after n
partial recovery from the same, he returned
to the Tooth Round head) regiment, and
served his country faithfully until the close
of the war. lie is competent and well quail
fled to discharge the duties of Treasurer
Charles Hoffman, of the borough of Sax>
onburg, our candidate for County Commits,
sioner is veteran soldier, having served
his adopted country in the Mexican war
under the gallant but now lamented Col S.
Black, where he was wounded in the left
hand, causing the loss of hi, thumb. lie
Nlso served in the late war in the 18th regi-
ment, where he was promoted to I'd Lieu
tenant, and served to the close of the war
lie is a suitable person for the Office, being
an English and German scholar.
Charles MClung of Sunburry, our can,
didate for Jury Commissioner, is just the
man for the position. Having served one
full term as County Commissioner, he is well
acquainted with the citizens of the county,
and will make an impartial and efficient
officer.
j. Calvin eileen, of Sunbury, our nominee
for county Auditor has. in hsre- nomination,
received better recommendation than any
thing we could say in his behalf. He is a
young man of moral worth. lie was an
efficient officer, and will be, with the rest
of the ticket triumphantly elected.
