A PROCLAMATION.

A PROCLAMATION.
In the year which is now drawing to
its end, the art, the skill, ahd the labor
Of the people of the United States have
been employed with greater diligence
and yigor, aud on broader fields, than
ever before, and the fruits of the earth
have been gathered into the granary
and the storehouse in marvellous abun-
dance Our highways have been length
ened, and new and prolific regions have
been occupied. We are permitted to
hope that long protracted political and
sectional dissensions are, at no distant
day, to give place to returning harmo-
ny and fraternal affection throughout
the Republic. Many foreign States
have entered into liberal agreements
with US, while nations which are far of,
and which, heretofore, have been un-
social and exclusive, have become our
friends. The annual period of rest we
have reached in health and tranquility,
and which is crowned with so many
blessings, is, by universal consent,
convenient and suitable one for culti-
vating personal piety and practicing
public devotion. /, therefore, recon-
mend that Thursday, the goth day of
November next, be set apart and OBJ.
served by alEthe people Of the United
States as day for public praise and
thanksgiving and prayer to the Al
mighty Creator and Divine Ruler of
the Universe, by whose ever watchful,
merciful and gracious providence alone
States and Nations, no less than fatni-
lies and individual men, do live and
move and have their being.
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
18th day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty eight, and of the Independence
of the United States the ninety third.

Gen. Grants Position.

Gen. Grant speech and letter Of accept
ance Of his nomination are enthusiastically
brief. vet comprehensive and to the point
A man of few words. he wastes none, in COM
ing directly to the point, and his position is
as clear ar if he had talked an hour and
written columns. He says: d" ! endorse
the resolutions This is saying I am in
favor of equal suffrage I consider ropudia-
ton national crime favor reduction Of
taxation. strict economy. and purity in our
finances l would protect the rights Of our
naturalized citizens, and l favor the removal
of disqualifcations from the late rebels
in the same measure a. their spirit Of loyalty
and consistent with the safety of the loyal
people.
Gen. Grant says also: Sc l shall have no
policy of my own to enforce against the
will Of the people" &c have always res
pected that will, and always shall. This is
not saying as the democrats try to make out,
that Gen. Grant will have no ideas Of his
own on national affairs. 1t is simply saying
that he proposes to confne himself to his
constitutional duties as the executive officer
of the nation lie viii not undertake, as
ANDY johnson has done, to run the govern
mention a policy Of his own, irrespective Of the
views and wishes Of the people. He does
not propose to legislate for any portion Of
the country, or TO usurp the Judicial func-
tons of the Supreme Court. He means to
he President simply, and as such to respect
the obvious VIII Of the people, who are the
majority of the nation. In SO doing he viii
avoid the rock on which Mr.. johnson went
70 wreck, and peace and prosperity viii re-
turn with a return of harmony between the
coordinate departments Of the Government.
With these words, and with his noble re
cord, the country will be glad to take Gen.
Grant for its Chief Magistrate, and will do
80 we think with a unanimity well nigh
equal to that with which Mr.. Lincoln was
reelected.

Tee Change in ths War Office.

Gen. Schofeld's nomination as Secretary
of War having been confirmed by the Senate,
the oath of Office was administered to him Mon
terday BY Chief Justice Chase, at the latter's
house From thereG len. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Executive mansion in company with Col.
Campbell of his staff and after short stay
during which his commission was handed
him by the President, he was accompanied
by Mr.. johnson and Adjutant Gen. Thomas
to the war department. They reached there
about | O'Clock, Thomas in full uniform,
SchOfeld in citizens dress
They did not stop in the Executive Office,
where Gen. Pelouze and Gen. Howard were
sitting, but proceeded at once to the inner
Office, vacant since the withdrawal Of Mr..
Stanton 1t is understood that the President s
action is in pursuance of his theory that Gen.
Thomas has been legal Secretary of War, and
that, therefore, he must turn over the Office
to Gen. Schofeld Mr.. johnson looked in
wonderfully good spirits, as if he had achieved
victory, the reporters say.
Gen. Grant called shortly after the new
secretary had made his appearance, and paid
his respects, as also did many others includ-
ing the heads of bureaus of the war depart
ment, Gen. Rawlings and other members Of
the staff of the general-in-chief, and other
prominent army officers. Brevet Maj.-Gen
Stoneman, senior officer in the first mill
tary district will probably succeed Gen
Schofeld in command of that district
No formal order has been issued by Gen
Schofeld, on taking charge, and it is moi
thought that any material change will be
made affecting any Of the officers now on du.
ty at the war department.
Gen. Thomas will be absent from Wash
ington for few days, and on his return vii
