In recognition of custom older than
Ohio, and responsive to the religious
sentiment in the State, 1 designate the
last Thnrsddy Of this month OF NoUena-
Der, being The 26th day of the month, as
a day for thanksgiving and prayer.
1t is to be hoped that the people upon
that day will rest from toll and labor,
assemble at their accustomed places OF
worship and in their respective family
circles, and there unite in Offering
thanks to God for the manifold bless
ings that have crowned the year; for
the health, prosperity, and peace that
have prevailed within our borders.

Reputation.

One of the results likely to accrue
from the extension of the right of suf-
trage to the freedmen of the South, and
the consequent pilIage of the Southern
people by the negro, carpet bag, and
scalawag rulers who from partisan con-
siderations have been so fondly cher
ished by Grants Administration, is a
general reputation of public indebted
ness by those States which have suf
fered the worst from spoliation.
The average Southern negro regards
the idea Of paying taxes with intense
disgust, and among all the black legis-
lators who have so recklessly voted to
increase the debt of their various
States by millions of dollars, the num-
Der who have contributed to the pub
lie revenues by any direct payment Of
taxation is so significant as not to be
worth mentioning.
A great proportion of the bonds Of
Southern States is held by Northern
capitalists, the most of whom have been
conspicuous supporters of the Admin
istration, which has encouraged the
plumber of the reconstructed States !;
and there is very large class ofSoutb-
ern taxpayers who believe that it is
such men as they who are really re-
sponsible for the ruin which has been
wrought by misgovernment, and there
fore would take infinite satisfaction in
seeing these bondholders whistle for
their interest and principal.
Such people will have little difficulty
in persuading the blacks dependent
upon them for employment and sub
sistence that it will be impossible for
them to pay the enormous taxation
which would be required to maintain
the credit Of their several States, and
at the same time pay living prices for
labor; aud this proposition once made
plain to the perception of the colored
voter, the latter will be as anxious to
procure exemption for his white en-
ployer as for himself. Perhaps if the
question of reputation should be left
entirely to the whites it would be de-
feated at any cost; but if in the cotton
States the viii es who favor such a
policy should be reinforced by the SOL
id colored vote, the value of a great
portion of Southern securities would
at once become infnitesimal.-[Sun.

u The laws of Massachusetts in re-
spect to married women have been so
amended as to enable such women to
engage IN business-make contracts on
their own account, precisely as though
they were single. However much
money she may make in business, her
husband is nevertheless obliged to sup
port her aud her childreb, and is, more
over, liable for her debts in most cases
provided she fails in business. If she
is a stepmother she can charge her hus-
band for services rendered to his chill
dren, and in all circumstances her
property is entirely exempt from his
control. If there are thirty thousand
women now in Massachusetts for whom
there are no husbands--as the census
assures us is the case-this number will
be indefinitely increased now that the
law has thus placed the wife in posi-
ton of much superiority to her
husband.

Crop Estimates.

The N. O. Times thus closes a
review of the crop prospects in the
various regions tributary to New Or
leans:
In taking the opinions of leading
merchants and factors as to the gen
eral crop of cotton in the country
tributary to New Orleans, one of them
expressed himself in substance thus:
OF the crops generally, it may be said
that they were retarded by the drouth
in all the districts oyerhowed,
where the water disappears in time,
the planters will in some way-"by
hook or crook" manage to replant.
In the highlands Of Louisiana, the
planters have been stimulated, in a
few instances, by the supposed loss
of crops in the lowlands to increase
the cotton acreage over and beyond
that contemplated at the beginning
of the planting season. This is true
more particularly of the highlands in
Mississippi, where the Changers, in
stead Of planting the amount Of corn
intended have fallen back upon some
thing like the paintings of last year.
He was, therefore, Of the opinion
should the replant escape the worm,
to which it will be particularly sub
| iect on account Of its tenderness,
that the total product will not fall so
far short as has been generally be-
lieved.
Another gentleman of even greater
prominence, and who stands at the
head of the factors in this city,
whose opinions are justly esteemed
of great value because of his large
experience and acknowledged abili-
ty, concurred in the views given
above. f.-
From all sources Of information
we are led to believe that the loss in
the crop of 1874, outside of the aver.
age decline of ten per cent. in the
acreage, will probably fall short OF
100000 bales, and may not exceed
10000 bales. These conclusions are
necessarily hypothetical, and assume
the favorable contingencies of the
weather and absence of the cotton
worm until such time as the replant
cotton shall sufficiently mature tc
escape its ravages.

Church Music.


In the Methodist Conference at Lou
isville last week, demand was made
of the Bishops that, in their pastoral
address they should express their dis
appreciation Of "Operatic performances
in the Churches. One Of the members
defined what he meant by "operatic
performances" by describing them as
such exquisitely artistic singing as to
drown the sense of the words with
noise. Now it is very true that the
noise of tho opera often browns the
sense of words-when they have any
and this is particularly the case when
an Italian opera is sung before all
English audience.
But the perversion of sense to sound,
is not confined to the graccless opera,
for, if we are not mistaken, it was full
congregational chorus that made the
walls of the Westinghouse resound
with the remarkable petition:
go for man-O for a man-O for a
mansion in the sky! .
Send down sal-send down sal-send
down salvation from on high"
Nor was it, if our memory serves US,
choir, whose artistic style forced the
old people to "fold up their spectacles
and sorrowfully lay down their books >
that began that song of trusting
faith:
80 take this pil-O take this PHO take
this pilgrim home." w
A NOBLE WIFE.-A bankrupt mer-
chant returned home one night to his
wife.
"lIy dear, am ruined; everything
that we have is in the hands of the

After a few moments of silence,
the wife looked calmly into his face
and said:
"Will the sheriff sell your

such wife, that man is on the roat

Seeing is Believing.

If in this liberal age there are per-
sons to be found who are so blinded by
prejudice as not to believe that med
ical stimulant is an item Of immense
importance in the catalogue of human
remedies, we should like them to wit
ness the wonderful effects which Hos
letters Stomach Bitters are now pro-
ducipg all over the country in cases of
intermittent fever, rheumatism, bilious
disorders, dyspepsia, nervous COM
plants, constitutional debility, mental
depression and premature decay. To
be sure these effects are nothing new.
The great vegetable invigorant and it's
cures have been before the people for
more than twenty five years, and in
every year Of the twenty-five its popu-
larity has increased and its sale has
become larger. Yet there are no doubt
many thousands of intelligent citizens
who have never had an opportunity of
observing for themselves the surpris'
ing changes which this unequalled ton
ic and Alternative produces in systems
which seem to be hope!ess)y broken,
and in cases of diseases which are not
ameuable to ordinary remedies. Prob
ably many of these regard the state
ments made in relation to the sanitary
properties of the Bitters with some dc
gree of incredulity. Would that all
such skeptics could see, with their own
eyes what the medicine is doing for
the sick and feeble everywhere, what
a staff of life it is proving to the aged
and inirm, what help in time of
trouble to feeble women suffering from
the complaints and disabilities peculiar
to the sex, what protection to health
and life in malarious districts, what a
panacea for languor and depression,
what specific for all diseases 10 which
the system requires to be- vitatized and
sustained. Of all stimulants it is the
purest and safest, of all tonics the most
genial, effective and agreeable, of all
alternatives The least violent and most
certain in it's beneficial results.
