The specia commission appointed
BY our Government to investigate the
charges Of irregularity, against Gen.
T. b. Van Burcn in connection with
the Vienna Exposition, have sent to
the State Department full report. 1t
is to the effect that Gen. Van Buren
and his assistants have managed our
affairs there corrupt|y and for personal
purposes, "to the great detriment Of
the American Department and in vio-
latiou Of American honor" The re
port condemns, entirely, the manage
meut of Van Buren,. and states that it
was to the last degree discreditab!e as
indicating Indifference or in. capacity,
or both combined.
1t speaks in terms Of highest praise
OF the commission. Of which j. S.
Schults is chief, appointed to succeed
Van Buren's and says that it is we'll
calculated to restore general confidence
in the American Commission.

The evils and the injustice that at

the rolling mills in this city. Ninety
men determine that they will not
work upon the terms offered by their
employers,-though it does not appear
that the latter have acted otherwise
than in fair aud liberal spirit,-and
thereupon 800 men are deprived of
the privilege Of working. It is thus
that the unreasonable conduct Of lab.

1t seems that the first report Of the

taat twenty three lives were lost and
no blame attached to any one was
something Of a mistake. There we're

Dispatches to the daily papers state
that the Government has decided that
no more whiskey will be allowed to be
taken into the Indian country except
upon permits from the War Depart
ment. It is a little difficult to see
why that exception should be made
bu. if the report should prove true the
War Department will have an oppor-
tunity to do grand thing for the
country by refusing to issue any per.
mits. That Department has been
claiming for soue time, that the In
dian matters should under it's control
and this will afford an opportunity to
substan,iate its claims in the cstima-

A PROCLAMATION.

The approaching close of another
wear brings with it the occasion for re-
newed Thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty ruler of the uni
verse for the unmumbered mercitS
which he has bestowed upon the United
States. Abundant harvests have been
among the rewards of industry. With
local exceptions health has been among
the blessings enjoyed. Tranquility ut
home and peace with other nations
have prevailed. Frugal industry is re-
gaining its merited rewards. Gradual
IL. but under the providence of God
surely. as we trust. the nation is recov-
ering from the lingering results OF Il
dreadful civil strife.
For these and all other mercieS vouch-
'safed it becomes us as IL people to re-
turn heartfelt and grateful acknowl-
edgcmcnts, and with our thanksgiving
we may unite in prayers for the ceSSa-
ton of local and temporary suffering.
therefore recommend that on Thursday.
the 9th day of November next, the
people meet in their respective places
of worship to make their acknowledge
ments to Almighty God for his houn-
ties and his protection. and to offer t"
him prayers for their continuance.
In witness whereof have hcreunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to he affixed. Done
at the city of Washington this. the
I4th day of October, i'll the year OF
our Lord 1873, and of the lndcpcnd-
cncc of the United States the 9th.

NOTE The cau>r of dissatisfaction

have had ON the subject, is briefly this :
ON the forenoon of the second day of

cty in the discharge of his duty. found
that the committee ON photographs had
not attended Ia its duties. He took the
little committee book and found. as he
then supposed and a. it attcrward prov
ed. competent persons to Judge of that
work. and gave the book into their
hands, and they examined the articles
in that department and made their re-
port In the afternoon of the same day,
Mr.. +. VI. Idle. who is one of the com
mittcc on this work appointed at the
annual meeting -Wa> told lay the Sccrc-
tarN that no committee had reported on
photography. and was instructed to fill
up committee and make examination
which he did. and this roper; WAS pub
li>hcd with the list of premiums and the
report of the former committee sup
pressed how and by whom does not
appear. A. these reports differed lit
tie ilS regards the merits of the pictures
of course each exhibitor had his pref

we may say that the committees alSo
felt unwilling to father the report q
