of New Orleans, as it is known that it
was called for aud made at the instanc.
of the President and is still in his
hands. While the President really
intends to appoint successor to Casey,
he found the Congressional delegation
unwilling to recommend anybody for
the position. Senator Kellogg said he
could not select from one wing without
incurring the displeasure OF the other.
The same excuse was made by Repre-
sentatives Sheldon and Sypher, and the
President was advised that if he as
sumed the responsibility it would dis

alleged against the present incumbent
in the State that made it desirable to
have him removed. Casey, therefore,
will hold the Office until after the Pres

We cannot, without being invidious,

our thanks are particularly due to the
chairmen of the several Republican couu

that the cry of frauds in Philadelphia is

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

By the President Of the United States Of america
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereds, The revolution of another
year has again brought the time it is usual
to look back upon the past and publicly
to thank the Almighty for His mercies
and blessings aud.
Whereas, If any one people has more
occasion than another for such thank full
ness it is the citizens of the United States,
whose government is their creature, sub
ject to their behests, who have reserved
to themselves ample civil and religious
freedom and equality before the law, who,
during the last twelve months, have en-
joyed exemption from any griveous or
general calamity, and to whom prosperity
in agricultural, manufactures and com
merce has been vouchsafed.
Now, therefore, by these considerations,
recommend that on Thursday, the 2Sth
day of November next, the people meet
in their respective places of worship, and
there make their acknowledging to God
for His kindness and bounty.
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
eleventh day of October, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy two, and of the Independence
of the United States the ninety seventh
