A Day OF National Thanksgiving.

The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion for
renewed thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty Ruler of. the
Universe of the unnumbered mercies
He has bestowed upon us. Abundant
harvests have been among the rewards
of industry. With local exceptions,
health has been among the blessings
enjoyed. Tranquility at home and
peace with other nations have prevail
ed. Frugal industry is regaining its
merited recognition and its merited
reward. Gradually, but under the
providence of God, surely, as we trust,
the nation is recovering from the lin
gering results of dreadful civil strife.
For these and all the other mercies
vouchsafed it becomes US as a people
to return heartfelt and grateful ac-
knowledgements, and with our thanks
giving we may unite prayers for the
cessation of local and temporary suf-
fering.
[ therefore recommend that on
Thursday, the 9th day of November
next, the people meet in their respec-
tive places of worship to make their
acknowledgements to Almighty God
for His bounties and His protection,
and to offer to Him prayers for their
continuance.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the City of Washington, this 14th day
of October, in the year of our Lord
1873, and of the Independence of the
United States the ninety

THE Immigration Movement is one
that is always watched with interest,
especially the relative numbers of our
newcomers who arrive from the Brit
ish Islands and Germany. During
the year ending June Both, 1879, the
British Islands sent US 166,S43 emf
grants, and Germany 1861. Com
pared with the previous year this was
an increase of 1887 from the former,
and 1852 from the latter. Formerly
Ireland sent by far the largest numbers
of any single country, but during the
year just closed England has been in
close competition with her, Ireland
having sent us 1874 emigrants and
England 74,SlS, only 2,526 less than
ireland. During the previous year
over one thousand more English than
Irish emigrants arrived in this eoun-
try.-Richmoad Wing.

THE New York Tribune heads an ar
ticle The market price of honesty"
We have been taught that honesty is
above all price. There may be VII
famous counterfeit on the market, but
an honest man is never bought, no mat
ter how often he may be " sold" We
agree with the Tribune that not one
was honest of all who voted for, or re-
ceived the salary grab. A man may be
strictly honest and vote an increase of
his salary; but he ceases to be so, or
never was honest, who votes to pay
himself, second time for services rem
dered for stipulated price-that price
having already been paid. The man
who will steal because be has the pow
er and the opportunity will be apt to
do so under any circumstances. And
whilst we believe every official thief
ought to be exposed and sternly re-
buked, the moral effect upon the pub
lie is, in a great measure lost, by the
dishonest and trucking trick of trying
to shield Grant-the chief offender,
and, at the same time holding the mem
bers of Congress to strict account.
But for him there would have been no
stealing done, in that way.

JUDGE T. W. KING.

The County Court of Montgomery
County passed the following resolu-
tons at the October Term, expressive
of their regard for Judge King and
sympathy with his family:
Resolved, That it is with deep re-
greet, and heartfelt sorrow, that we
miss from our midst to-day, the noble
and genial face of one who hath so
often, for many years past, been our
chief counsellor and guide within these
halls of justice.
Resolved, That in the death of the
late JUDGE THOMAS w. KING, the
Court of Montgomery County has lost
its most valued member; the Bench
of Tennessee one of its best and most
learned Judges; the Bar of the State
one of its brightest ornaments, and
the town of GAINESVILLE one of its pur-
est and best citizens.
Resolved, That we do most sincere
~ sympathize with his bereaved family
in this great and irreparable loss of a
noble and generous husband, and a
kind and induigeat father, whose daily
approach at eve from the cares and
tolls of business life, can no more be
welcomed by the cheerful smiles of
his beloved wife and little ones, TO the
once bright and happy home, that shall
know him no more on earth forever.
Resolved, That we do hope and
trust, that
Though his body lay in Greenwood be-
meath the grassy sod,
His spirit away hath flown to the pure
bright realms OF God,
The land OF peace and rest, by Holy Jesus
given,
Within thevales of pure and holy Heaven.
Though, no more we meet in council that
face so often seen
Within these halls of justice, ever cheerful
and serene,
We should ever be so guided by precept,
often given,
And be prepared 10 meet him In high and
holy Heaven.
Resolved, That copy of these res
olutions be sent to his family, and one
to each of the county papers for publ
cation. G. II s.

REMARKS OF REV. A. MIZELL

DEAR BRETHREN:-I have no Ian
guage to express my appreciation of
your affectionate regard for me so un-
expected and so unmerited upon my
part. During the four years of labor
upon the district, it is source of great
comfort that there has not been one
appeal nor a complaint officially urged
and that blessed peace and harmony
uninterrupted have prevailed. And
better, the result of your faithful I'M
firing labors in conjunction with my
own feeble efforts during the four
years, has been about two thousand
conversions and about the same num-
bers of additions to our beloved church.
1t is but natural that fellow soldiers
who have passed through such toll and
conflicts as a result SO grand and glo-
rious implies, should become ardent
ly attached to each other. My warm
attachment for you, brethren, it is
true, has grown in part out of your re
spectful, and kind bearing toward me,
but chiefly from the conception that
you were men of true principle, thor
oughly consecrated to God and His
cause, men in whom | have ever felt
as / now do that implicit confidence
can be reposed. The severance of
endeared relations are too painful to
be spoken of-but trust we will meet
in the better land where friends shall
be severed never.
You shall ever live in the ardor of
my affection; and the hope of being
with you an heir of eternal glory, l
trust will continue to sustain and urge
me onward toward the promised inner
itance.
At the close of these remarks prayer
was offered by Rev. DIR. West, the
company joined in singing the doxol-
ogy, and the benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. Jordan Moore Of
Montgomery Circuit.

NASHVILLE is already notable rail
road centre, and is destined to become
much more so. Still our observatios
lead us to the belief that the rapid
growth of that city, is due, not so much
to the facilities afforded by those com
mercial channels, as to the liberal and
active capital invested in profitable and
varied machinery. Twenty railroads
might, daily, empty their cargoes of
agricultural and mechanical produc-
lions into its depots, but without con-
sumers of the surplus, and without
producers to send out return cargoes,
those roads would contribute compar-
atively:little, to the active or perma-
nent growth of the city. The day has
passed when locality can build cities,
and, unless reared by machinery, there
can be no more cities. Capital must
supply machinery and skill create and
direct it, or prospective cities are mere
castles in the air" Population and
mechanical skill necessitate the con-
struction of roads; and those who re-
verse the theory, and rely upon rail-
roads to bring the population and fur
nish the capital for profitable invest
ment, will find themselves hopelessly
disappointed. . m.

Tennessee's FIXTURE.

The New York Evening Post, in an
article on the future of Tennessee, has
the following exceedingly pertinent
language 49, r.....-
''We are constrained to say, that the
commercial greatness dreamed of by
some of the Tennessee cities, will not
approach suddenly, but must await the
slow process of thorough local devel-
opment. What Tennessee needs to
place it on level with the Northern
grain growing States, and what it ap-
pears now to desire, is more liberal
encouragement of industrial enterpris-
es and better appreciation of labor:
By its old. narrow policy, it repulsed
and capital, by Its new
policy it will invite them. The State
is Just entering upon new era of less
exclusive monopoly-more enllghten-
ed prosperity-and it rs this more than
else that will give it place
among great commercial communities

WILLIAM ORION, the President OF
the Western Union Telegraph Compa-
ny, is wag. Speaking of free mes
sages, he says in his late annual report:
The franks issued to government
officials constitute nearly third of the
total complimentary business. The
wires of the Western Union Company
extend into thirty-seven States and
nine territories within the limits of the
United States, and into four of the
British Provinces. In all of them our
property is more or less subject to the
action of the National, State and mu-
nicipal authorities. and the judicious
use of complimentary franks among
them has been the means of saving to
the company many times the money
value of the free service performed.

A 1.-THE of the distress of our city
has not been made known to the pub
lie, Twelve hundred people are now
sick-and near a thousand newly made
orphans, and but few brave men and
women left to take care of all these.
Business of every kind is well nigh sus-
pended. The disease has now envelop-
ed the city, and the whole town seems
to have been converted into vast hos
pital, with labeled ambulances and
carriages dashing all over the city,
transporting relief committees, or the
sick from place to place, while the soul
of every man and woman you meet
seem sick with sadness. God has never
scouraged any American city to such
an extent before. In the meantime
daily expenditures of money are enor-
nous. A nurse is scarcely to be had
for less than five or ten dollars per
day. The donations of the last ten
days from all quarters have been most
muniticent, but all this will in few
days be exhausted. ".s.

THERE are now FIVE courts in sess-

the heads-debt and crime. We we're

THE lawyers of Chicago, Ill, have
nominated candidates for County and
superior Court Judges. OF course,
such nominations are merely recon-
mendations, TO be acted upon BY nom
mating Conventions, and we mention
the circumstance as evidence of the
tendency towards non-elective judi
ciary, and as an approximation to the
ideas We advanced several years ago,
10 the effect that no officer of the Ju-
dietary should be elected by the peo-.
pie, but that the Judges should be APP
pointed, eoncurrently. by the Governor
and the Senate; and that the Bar of
each Circuit should be authorized to
send up the names Of two. or more
competent men from whom the Judge
shall be selected by the appointing
power. $3.50 81
Experience has, we think demon
strated the fact that the election Of
Judges by the people has failed to Sc
cure the highest qualifcations-legal
learning, high integrity and indepen-
dence in the administration of justice.
1t may be old fogyish to go backwards,
but when progress tends to evil rather
than good, it is wiser to return to safe
precedents than to advance heedlessly
in wrong direction. Political Judg-
es are not safe repositories of the
rights of individuals-life, liberty and
property, because impartiality cannot
always be expected from those who
look to political friends forre-election,
or for higher preferment In spite Of
learning and integrity-such is the
weakness of human nature-one may
be unduly biased, unconsciously &c
himself, by personal friendship, or po-
litical affinities, and when
"self the waving balance holds,
IT'S rarely right adjusted" asa
1t is true, that to bring about this
change, there must be constitutional
amendment, but, in the meantime, it
can do no harm to call public atten-
ton to the subject, and invite investi-
CATION of its merits. The multiplicity
of elections is known source of pub
lie generalization, and the cost of
those elections is point to be consid-
ed al time when economy is so much
needed in the administration of the
government. This subject is getting
to be one of very general interest. and
the great barrier to its success is the
influence of politicians, who delight
in political excitement, as the road to
their advancement. a 1l5T S-
