Thanksgiving Proclamation.
By The President of the United States
A DROCI MATINN


A. PROCLAMATION.
In conformity to a recent custom that
now may be regarded as established by ma
tional consent and approval, |, Andrew
Johnson, President Of the United States, do
recommend to my fellow citizens that Thurs
day, the 28th day of November, be set
apart and observed throughout the Repub-
lie as a day of National Thanksgiving ard
praise to the Almighty Ruler of Nations,
with whom are dominion and power, and
who maketh peace in His High places
Resting and refraining from secular labors
on that day, let us reverently and devoutly
give thanks TO our Heavenly Father for
the mercies and blessings with which lie
has crowned the now closing year, Espe-
cially let us remember that He has favored
onr land with greatly needed and very
abundant harvests, that He has caused in
dustry to prosper not only in our fields but
also in our workshops, in our mines and IN
our forests. He has permitted Us to multi
ply ships upon our lakes, and rivers, and
upon the high seas, and at the same time
to extend our iron roads so far into the Sc
cluded places of the continent, as to guar
antee speedy over land intercourses be-
tween the two oceans. He has inclined
our hearts to turn away from domestic
contentious and connections consequent
upon a distracting and desolating civil war,
aud to walk more and more in the ancient
ways of loyalty, Cancellation and hrotherly
love, He has blessed the peaceful efforts
with which we have established new and
important commercial treaties with foreign
nations, while we have at the same time
strengthened our national defense and
greatly enlarged our national borders.
While thus rendering the unanimous and
heartfelt tribute Of national praise and
thanksgiving, which is so justly due to Al
mighty God, let US not fail to implore Him
that the same divine protection and care
which we have hitherto SO undeservedly
and yet so constantly enjoyed, may be con-
tinued to our country and our people thro'-
out all their generations forever.
In witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this
2Gth day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1867, and of the independence of the
United States the n!nety-second.

Important Decision by the Supreme Court.

Important Decision by the Supreme Court.
1t has been decided by the Pennsylva-
MIA Supreme Court, that drawing check
on bank n which the drawer has no funds,
and uttering it, IS fraud, both on the per
son to whom it is negotiated and on the
bank. Case of Peterson VS.. Union Nation
al Bank. 1t is fraud in the holder of a
check to present it for payment, when he
knows the drawer has no funds in the bank
TO meet it. The holder of check deposit
ed it in the bank on which it was drawn,
knowing that the drawer had no funds to
meet it; it was passed to the holders
credit and charged against tie drawer
Held, that this was not payment of the
check by the bank, that the holder could
not recover the amount from the bank
This decision is of Importance to class of
persons who are in the habit of kiting"
checks, giving memorandum" checks da-
ted ahead. All such practices are fraud
under this decision, and if the checks so
uttered are not stamped as promissory
notes they are also in violation of the Uni
ted States Internal Revenue laws. Per-
sons wha are guilty of drawing checks
when they have no funds in bank very
soon lose their credit, and have their ac-
counts closed by the banks. and may con-
slider themselves lucky if they escape pros
| ecution for fraud.

II The cotton crop Of the present year
begins to attract great deal of attention.
A Georgia correspondent of New Y erk
paper predicts a large crop of cotton In
Georgia, and says the yield of that State
may reach 500,0 bales, which is more
than double the crop of last year A
Louisiana correspondent Of the Journal Of
Commerce says the cotton in that Safe
looks healthy, but is two weeks latter
than usual, and he can give no estimate
of the crop. All the letter writers men
ton that large crop of corn has been
planted, much larger than the last year
For the comfort of the doubling souls
who insist that the negroes will not work
except as slaves, we would state that nine
ty per cent. Of the crop of cotton to De
harvested this year Is the production Of
free negro labor The poor whites are
subsisting upon Northern charity, and
the wealthy whites are engaged in punch
ing india rubber teething rings, from the
backs of horses, with fishing poles, at
what they call tournaments; the gate
money going to the building Of nonu-
ments to the memory of repel dead. The
negroes are doing the work.
