EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Washington, Oct. q, 1875.
A proclamation by tn President of the United
States of America.
In accordance with practice at once wise and
beautiful. we have been accustomed, as the wear
is drawing to close to devote an occasion to the
humble expression of our thanks to Almighty God
for the ceaseless and distinguished benefits be-
slowed upon US as nation and for His mercies
and protection during the closing year.
Amid the rich and free enjoyment of all our ad-
vantSges we should not forget the source from
whence they are derived and the extent of our OBJ
legations to the Father of all mercies We have
full reason to renew our thanks to Almighty God
for favOrs bestowed upon US during the past year.
By His continuing mercy civil and religious lib
erty have been maintained; peace has reigned
within our borders; labor and enterprise have
produced their merited rewards, and to His watch
full providence we are indebted for our security
from pcstilence and other national calamIties
Apart from nauioual blessings, each individual
among us has occasion to thoughtfully recall and
deYoutly recognize the favors and protection
which he has enjoyed. Now, therefore, /, Ulysses
S. Grant, President of the United States, do rec
ommend that on Thursday, the 25th day of NoYem-
Der, the people of the United States. abstaining
from all secular pursuits and from their accustom-
ed avocatiOns, do assemble in their respective
places of worship. and in such form as may seem
most appropriate in their own hearts, offer to Al
mighty God their acknowledgements and thanks
for all His merices and their humble prayers for
continuance of His divine favor.
and caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed
Done at the city of Washington, this 27th day Of
October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy five, and of the indie
Pendence of the United States the one hun
dredth. q. S. GRANT.
By the President.

THE ELECTION.

Tuesday was a glorious day for the
Renublicans Il rouehoul The Country
The tidal wave of the Dcn, cracy seemed
,o lose its nom entum, and having taken
a back-set, engulfed those whose efforts
were enlisted in rolling il on. Initiation
and Pope's toes, and all the machinery
and adiuncts of the party were wallow-
ed up. The election in N York city,
is part iculorly significant and disastrous.
Tammany has gone 10 flinders. Phelps,
the Republican District Attorney, and
| Recorder Hackett. who had been pro-
scribed by Tammany Hall, have both
been elected by large majorihes. John
Morsissey has defeated the Tammauy
nominee for the State Senate, and is
els c!ed, by several thousand majority.
OF all the states electing on Tuesday,
Mississippi, Virginia and Maryland
alone are left TO the Democracy.
NEW YORK.
But one year ago the Democrats elect
ed their Governor by $4,000 majority
The Republicans have now elected their
state ticket and secured a majority in
both branches of the Legislature.
KANSAS
has elected, as usual, Republican Legis-
lature, and New Jersey did the same
thing
There is something comforting to the
country in this revolution. New York,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota,
New Jersey, and Massachusetts,, one year
ago all voted with the Democratic party,
some of them by large majorities. There
now is as general return 10 the Rerub-
Iican ranks, and under such circumstan-
ces can leave no doubt as 10 how they
will vote in 1876.
A significant result of the election in
New York City is the dirastrous defeat
of Tammany Hall on all the local nomi-
nations.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Rice, Republican, has a plurality over
CASTOR, Baker, Adams and Phillips, and
the entire Republican State ticket is
probably elected. The Legislature will
be of the same political complexion. The
vote has been a full one, but badly split
up among candidates.
MISSISSIPPI.
The returns indicate that the Demo
crats carry the State by 10000. They
have decided majority in both houses
of the Legislature, and elect four Con-
gressmen-possibly the entire Congress
sional delegation.
MARYLAND.
The indications are that the entire
Democratic State ticket is elected. The
returns, however, at this writing, are
meagre, and neither figures nor estimates
are reliable.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Hartranft has been elected, with the |
whole State ticket, by MAORI ty, as Civ
en- in the Wednesday morning papers, of |
some $4,000. The majority in the city of |
Philadelphia is put at $4,000 Republican.
MINNESOTA.
Returns from various parts of the State |
do not give basis for close calculations
The Republican State ticket is undoubt- |
edly elected with, perhaps, the exception
of State Treasurer. 1t is impossible to
make close estimate of the Legislature.
but it will be largely Republican. The |
majority is not expected to be greater
than 5000
WISCONSIN.
Ludington, Republican candidate for |
Governor, has probably carried the State
by ten to fifteen thousand majority. The
Democrats concede the State to be Re-
publican.

THE LATEST F1ILUREs.
The DISADVANTAGES OF Operating on the Bear
side Of n Hall Market.

The failure OF Hoffman Co., dry goods,
go Broadway, was announced yesterday. Their
liabilities are set down at $s00,0O0. Their assets
are not yet known.
Buttorick & Co., fashion publishers. have re-
sumed business. Their suspension. they say,
was due to the failure OF many Of their agents
to meet their obligations on time, as well as TO
unusually heavy expenses for the past two years.
A branch house that they opened In London
was heavy weight upon them for long time,
and monthly that they published to advertise
their business taxed them severely. They VIII
pay their debts dollar for dollar.
In the Stock Exchange Yesterday four failures
were announced. those Of Cumberland q. white,
Charles II. Ward. II. j. Fuller, and Howard
WINS. These gentlemen sre minor operators,
who got on the bear sido Of bull market and
were squeezed.
Messrs. Dun, Barlow n Co., in their quarterly
circular, say that the trade OF the country IS IN
u very fair, II not hopeful condition, and that
while people conine themselves TO legitimate
business and avoid speculation, there is every
prospect Of constant improvements. Many OF
the failures that have shaken confidence this
year are the outgrowth of the panic OF 1873
while Others are due to OvertradinR and reckless
speculation. In New York city the failures Tor
the past nine months number $40, with idbili-
ties amounting to $3l, 100000.
