THANKSGIVING DAY in New England is
not, rs in the olden time, observed with
n due regard to the religious ceremonies
Of the day. This falling of from the
customs of the Puritans has attracted
the attention of the clsrgymen of Mas
sachusetts, who are signing q petition
to the Governor on the subject. This
document states that the signers are
convinced, by long and close obserra-
ton, that the annual appointment OF q
day Of fasting, humiliation and prayer
by the Governor of the Commonwealth
once, doubtless, q usage which met
the convictions and desires of the peo-
pie Of the State at large-has gradually
been perverted from its original design
and professed intent, until it has ceased
to command attention and respect; that
The day set apart by proclamation has
fallen into general neglect as a day of
religious observance, and come to be q
day Of much license, disorder and ex-
cess; that they believe it to have be-
come q source Of decentralization rather
than OF religious or moral impression,
and that the diseontinuanes os the GUS
tom of appointing an annual Fast would
be for the public good.

THE NATIONAL INCOME.

In the present financial condition Of
the country, with taxes pressing heavily
on every industrial pursuit, with an
enormous public debt, with gold at q
premium Of 80 per cent, it is of vital
Importance to know how the incomes Of
the nation are being managed ; whether
our cash resources are increasing or
diminishing; whether the revenue and
customs duties are being honestly col
lectsd, and how we stand in comparison
with the last year.
Complete financial returns for the
first two full quarters of President
Grants administration, from April l to
September 80, inclusive, have been fur
nished, and their totals show an increase
in the incomes and decrease in the ex-
penditurss that foot up the handsome
gain Of ffty-si1 millions of dollars, as
compared with the corresponding period
Of 1868. In receipts from customs there
has been an increase of So, lsl, 724, and
the yield from internal revenue shows
the considerable augmentation Of Sl6,-
46s, 4l9. Tho cost Of maintaining the
army has been cut down So, o94, 237,
and the expenses on account Of the navy
have been reduced Sl,s45, 9O6. In the
expenditures attending the performances
Of the civil service a saving of 81 $780,.
500 has been effected.
This is really q gratifying exhibit ;
one that will strengthen Government
credit at home and abroad, and restore
confidence 10 every department Of BUSH
ness. 1t is also a proof that the finances
Of the Government have been managed
moro judiciously and with s%tricter in
tegrity than last year. This is what the
people expected of the new Administra-
ton, and the good work of the first six
months must be continued throughout
its term of power.
The above figures, with additions,
will be presented to Congress at the be-
ginning Of the next session, and they
will enable that body to lsgislato under
standingly, and, therefore, effectively,
on the revenue laws, which require
modification. Tho tax on incomes
should be promptly repealed, and the
onerous burdens now imposed on our
manufacturers should be materially
l%ightened. By fostering tho industries
of the people, Congress will render the
public debt less Of an incubus, and at
the same time hasten the day which
will witness it's total and honorable
liquidation.
