A PROCL LAMATION.

In accordance with practice at once wise and
beautiful we have been accustomed as the wear il
drawing to close to devote an occasion to the mum
Bile expression of our thanks to Almighty God for
the ceaseless and distinguished benefits bestowed
upon us as nation, and for His mercies and pro-
lection during the closing year. Amid the rich ana
Ire- enJoyment of all our advantages should not
forget the sources from whence they are derived
and the extent of obligations the Father of All
Mercies. We have full reason to renew our thanks
to Almighty God for avors bestowed upon us during
the past year. By His continuing mercy civil and
rehgeous liberty have been maipI Ianed; peace has
reigned within our borders, labor and enter prise
nave produced their merited rewards, and to His
Watchful providence we are indebted to security
Tom pest1ence and other national calamity. Apart
from nafional blessings, each Individual among us
has occasion t. thankful recall and devoutIy recog
nze the tavors and protection which he has enjoye
Now, therefore, j, Ulysses s. Grant, President of
the United states, do recommend that on THURSDAY
the 25th day OF November, the people of the United
States ahstaining from all secular pursuits and from
their accusome av0cations do assemble in their re-
spective places Of worship and in such form as NAV
seem most appropriate in their own hearts offer to
Almighty God their Acknowledgements and thanks
for all His mercies, and their humble PRAYERS for
continuance Of His divine favor.
In witness whereof have hereunto set nv hand and
caused the seal of the Uuited States to be Affixed
Done at the City Of Washington, this 9th day Of
October, in the year of our Lord 1875, and of the

The groundlessness of the charges against
the so.called Pennsylvania "Treasury ring'
is thoroughly exposed by Mr.. Mackey, the
officer against whom the principal accusa-
tions have been brought. Every charge is
met and dsproved. The sum of $3,4OO, 600.
missing from the sinking fund, was paid out
to meet general expenses, the legislature hay
ing neglected to make the proper appropria
tions; as Mr.. Mackey puts it.: eff the
treasurer owes the sinking fund SO, 100000,
the state owes the treasurer $3,400, ,OOO."
The charge that treasurers have IN ten years
received credit for the payment of $1.123,3O1
on account of interest on the public debt,
more than was actually due or paid, is met
by fiat denial, and the denial sustained by
the oank accounts of the treasury and by the
official records. The third charge also, that
more by $121 ,42S had been taken for pre-
MUM on gold purchased to pay interest than
was actually paid, is eonclusively disproved.
The remaining accusation, that tie state had
lost 81, 100000 in twelve years by the failure
of treasurers to put treasury balances on
deposit at six per cent, is met by the facts
that there Is no law authorizing the treasurer
to require In terest on public funds, that pub

What makes the Democratic statesmen so
shy of Pennsylvania? Gov. Hendricks made
one speech and started Immediately home
,gain. Gov. Allen made one, and was sum-
noned back at once to Columbus. No other
prominent Democrat outside Of the state has
,een heard in the canvass. What is the
rouble? Do they think it bad sign TO aid
too many funerals?
The soft-money journals are cooling down
slowly. Some of them are willing to con-
cede'now that it will be unwise TO put an in
dation plank into the national Democratic
'atfOrm, but they declare the no contraction

lever will get over. The Republican party
"ould be very happy TO see these dodging
ventiOn. 1t would make Republican vic
ory al easy matter.
Gov. Hendricks is likely 10 have up hill
work in his chase for the Presidency. The
Cincinnati Commercial pours this bucket of
very Geld water over him just as he is labo-
riously and quietly climbing upon the fence
again: Gov. Hendricks is of opinion that
Morton did not make much impression in
he Ohio canvass. The same may be said of
,Aov. Hendricks himself, and yet no violence
lone 10 the truth. We wonder whether it
will be comfort to Hendricks to know that
ince he tumbled his new coat in the dirt of
Ohio for nothing, there is talk in Demo
ratio circles that after all the coming man

And of all fallacies there is none more

narvels of our time. Our monument oil

A London letter 10 the Boston Advertiser
says Mr. Fraser Rae has for some years been
engaged in work of which Washington was
the principal parsonage, but the title has lot
yet been made public. 1t is noteworthy that
no elaborate account of Washington and bis
labors has yet been written in England. Being
written from new point Of view, this work
will possess the merit of novelty as well as con-
tain important details relating to the revo-
lutiopary war. The first volume will probably
appear next year.

IHE st. Louis Republican makes sug-
gestion which is certainly worthy Of consd-
GRAFTON, and which requires, to be carried in
TO effect, only the consent of parties to con-

DIPLOMATIC relations between Pope Plus
and the Shah of Persia have been amicably
established. On the 9Th instant the Pope re-
ceived General Aga "a Catholic), the Persian
envoy, in the Throne-room of the Vatican in
Rome. The purpose of the mission was to
place in the hands of his Holiness letter
from the Shah, saying that he accepts the
letter and the presents which the Pope sent
him a short time ago, and to state that in
structions had been given to all officials
throughout Persia to protect and respect the
Catholics in that country, whether residents
or visitors, in the exercise OF their religion.

to republish the article in the ANTI Mono

an article eminating from the pen OF al
