THANKS GIVING AND PRAyER.-Proc
la,natioas of the President.-In accord
ance with annual custom, the President
has issued his proclamation for day OF
national thanksgiving and prayer, fix
ing therefor Thursday, the 27th of No
vember. The proclamation issued is
thus far in advance to give the oppor-
tunity to Governors of sthe several
States to designate the same day, 80 as
to avoid conflicting appointments such
as were m ade by some of the Govern
ors last year The President in his
proclamation says:
"Abundant harvests have been among
the rewards of industry. With local
exceptions health has been among the
blessings rejoiced in. Tranquility at
home and peace with other nations
have prevailed. Frugal industry is re-
gaining its merited recognition and
its merited rewards. Gradually, but
under the provisions ofGod surely, as
we trust, the nation is recovering from
the results of a dreadful civil strife
For these and all the other mercies
vouchsafed, it becomes us as people
to return heartfelt and grateful ac-
acknowledgements, and with our thanks
Civ, n for blessings we may unite pray
ers for the cessation OF local and tempo

WASHINGTON, October Pit will
be recollected that nearly two weeks
ago the President, during an interview
OF a semi official character, said that
return to a specie basis can never be
effected except by shrinkage of
values; that the shrinkage has now TAX
en- place, the currency has appreciated
to about par with silver, and the won.
der to him was that silver is not pour
ing out. When this should take place,
his theory was, the country will absorb
two or three hundred millions of it.
Since that time the President, in con
sultation with the Secretary of the
Treasury, has been considering how
such result might be produced with
view of affordine relief to the country
within legal limits.
The director of the mint has. been
acting in accordance with the Presi-
dents. policy, making expensive arrange
ments for the coinage Of both gold,
and silver to an extent heretofore UNI
precedented, 30 as to be ready for re
sumption of specie payments.
The first step in resumption has been
taken, it having been ascertained to
day from the Secretary Of the Treas.

silver as soon as it can be profitably

BALrMoRr, October 24.-All the
morning papers of this city publish an
extract from letter Of Rev: William
Z: Munsey, the eloquent and distinguish
ed Methodist divine, dated Jonesboro,
Tenn, to a prominent gentleman in this
city, in which he brands as malignant
falsehoods the late injurious reports
relative to his alleged intoxicated hab.

i'll the press.
WHAT BECOMES OF BECK PAY.-We
learn that Hon. w. H. H. Stowell, who
represents his district in Congress, lost
all his money by the failure of the
First National Bank of Washington, in
which his funds were deposited This
is hard blow upon Mr.. Stowell, who
has been thrifty and economical:man
and who, we learn, very honorably
paid all the debts which he contracted
by unfortunate business ventures, from
the savings of his salary as public
official Mr.. G II. Porter, ex-me mber
of Congress, had $4,000 deposited, we
are informed, in the Merchants N ational
Bank of this city; but that amount,
doubtless, will be fully recovered.

the Conservative order to move to the

The Wing says:-Our struggle in
Virginia is not to deprive the negroes
of any right or privilege to which they
are entitled. We freely accord to them
all of their rights and privileges. But
they have chosen to band themselves
together in compact, solid organiza-
ton under a few white leaders, a
majority of whom are mere political
sdventurers, in order to get control OF
orr Commonwealth. Knowing what
negro parties, thus Offered and led,
have done in all the States in which
they have obtained control, we nat
ura!ly enough desire to Illustrate their
attempt against Virginia. We would
be fools if we did not-not only fools,
but we would be false to every obliga
ton and duty we owe to our State. II
the Conservatives, who constitute nine
tenths of the property holders and tax
payers, and constitute the same pro-
portion of the educated classes, allow
the control of the State, including the
taxing power, to pass away from their
hands to this negro palty-they will
be reasonable for the ruin and degra
dalton of Virginia that will follow.
They have large majority Of the
voters, and this great wickedness can
only be accomplished through Their
acquiescen"e. Those who fail to
register and vote will, if the negro
party succeeds, be as culpable, as
criminal as they would be if they &C
tually voted with that party. 1t may
be claimed for the negroes that in their
Ignorance they know not what they are
doing Some of them, in their moral
blindness, appear to think that they
have the right to plumber every State
and every people under whom they
have been held as slaves in the past,
and they hope to obtain their spoil
through political success There are
no Conservatives who do not fully
understand all this, and those therefore
who shall either directly or indirectly,
negatively, or positively, by voting
with them, or not voting at all, con-
tribute to their success will have to
share the responsibility for all the dire
consequences that may follow.
