spent his evenings with set of good fell

though it was not generally known. The
morning of the nomination, it was agreed
between Frank and myself that he should
spend the day in Mount Auburn, no one
but myself knowing where his place of re-

BY the President of the United States Of
America. proclamation. Reminded by the
changing seasons that 1t is time to pause IN
our daily avocations and offer thanks to AL
mighty God for the mercies and abundance OF
the year which is drawing to close; the
blessings of a free government continue to be
vouchsafed to us: the earth has responded to
the labor of the husbandman; the land mas
been free from pestilence: internal order Is
maintained, and peace with other powers has
prevailed. 1t is fitting at stated periods we
should cease from our accustomed pursuits
and from the turmo1 of our daily lives, and
unite in thankfulness for the blessings of the
past and the cultivation of kindly feelings
toward each other. Now, therefore. recogniz-
ing these considerations, /, U. S. Grant. Presl-
dent of the United States, do recommend to all
citizens to assemble in their respective places
Of worship on Thursday, 26th day of November
next. and express their thanks for the mercy
and favor of the Almighty God, and laying
aside all political contentious and all secular
occupations, to observe such day of thanks
giving and praise.
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
on the 29th day of October. in the year Of our
Lord 1874, and the independence Of the United
States the goth.

No AID.-At the Cabinet Meeting
on Tuesday telegram received by
the President was read, saying the
effects of the hurricane at Tuscan
bia, Alabama, on the odd inst. were
terrible, and that restitution prevails
to an extent no language can express
There is no money in the County
Treasury, and the sufferings of the
destitute cannot be relieved individ-
uaIs; and therefore this appeal is
made to your Excellency for imme-
date relief, begging you to order a
supply of army rations. The dis
patch is signed by David r. Lindsay,
as Chairman Of a large meeting of
citizens, and is endorsed by the
Mayor and Aldermen of the city.
The President directed Secretary
Belknap to send reply expressing
his great regret that he is unable to
comply with the request, as the linn
tied appropriation for the subsistence
of the army will not permit it.

Y
J.D. MINOR, Sec'y of State

THE BEST NEWS which the coun-
try has heard from Washington,
since the adjournment of Congress,
is that the President "has made up
his mind to take a decided stand in
favor of the resumption of specie
pavment." 1t is understood that in
his message to Congress he will adj
vocate the taking of immediate steps
to that earnestly wished-for end, by
such legislation as shall be needful,
and especially by fixing some def
mite time, not exceeding two years
hence, as the date at which the ma
tioual treasury shall resume coin
payments. OF course, says the Chi
cago Times, to fix a time for resump-
ton would be useless and futile, eX-
cept Congress make the necessary
legislative provisions for rendering
resumption at the time fixed not
only possible but obligatory, as a
SupplGIlculdlN COHlldCG DtI"ctl lHt
government and its creditors, the
holders of its too-long- dishonored
treasury notes.
This declared attitude of the Presi-
dent must have the effect of bringing
the political sentiment of the coun-
try to rational and coherent divis-
ion. 1t will probably prove to be
the long-waitedfor event that must
divide the hardmoney sheep
from the rag money goats, and
relegate each political animal to his
own place. Then shall Morton and
Logan and Oglesby and scammon
become political bed-fellows with
Pendleton and Hendricks and Dan
Voorhees, and Dick Richardson.
And then also shall Blaine and Dix
and Garfield and Burchard strike
hands across the "bloody chasm" of
senseless partisan prejudice with
Sam Cox and Kerr and Mcdonald
and Col. Morrison, forming thus a
coherent and rational body of opin-
ion on the basis of true economy and
right principle.
