By the President of the United States Of
dneracG.
Inaccordance with practice at once wise and
beautiful, we have been accustomed, as the
year is drawing to close, to devote an occa
sion to the hum bic expression Of our thanks to
Almighty God for the ccaseless aud distinguish
ed benefits bestowed upon us as a nation and
for His merces and protection during the clio
sing year,
Amid the rich and free enjoyment OF all our
advantages, We should not forget the source
from whence they are derived, and the extent
of or obligations to the Father OF all mertieS.
We have full reason to renew our thanks to
Almighty God for fieyors bestowed upon us dl,-
ring the past year.
BY His continuing mercy. civil and religious
flibGrty have been maintained; peace has reign
cd within our borders, labor and enterprise
have produced their n,erited rewards, and to
His watchful providence we are indebted for
security from pcstilence and other national ca
lamity.
Apart from national blessings, each individu-
al among us has occasion to thoughtfully recall,
and devoutly recognize the favors and protec-
ton which he has enjoyed.
Now, therefore, L. Ulysses S. Grant, Pres-
dent of the United States, do recomm..n nd that
on Thursday, the 18th day of November, the
people Of the United States, abstaining from all
secular pursuits and from their accustomed
avecations, do assemble to their respective pla-
ces OF worship, and in such form as may seem
most appropriate in their own hearts, offer to
Almighty God their Acknowledgements and
thanks for all his mercles, and their humble
prayers for a continuance of his divine favor
In witness whereof, | have lereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed

Vote FOR the Constitutional amendments
Vindicator.
The brilliant luminary who presi(les over the
sensational department Of the curb stone organ,
became somewhat obfuscated last week. II he
will inform us what Unconstitutional Amend
ments'' were to be voted for, it would give us
information that we did not possess. Proba-
bly, our Court street contemporary got his ma
chine a-going, grinding out appeals to save the
caucus nominees, and could not stop it until
it haa jumped into the next years campaign.
The curb-stone organ has been confused for
several weeks, and found itself 80 mixed that
it had to pitch into those one week whom it
had defended the week before, and uice yersa.
We hope its ''true inwardness'' is now Gained
down. and that its mental equilibrium has been
restored.

Important Decision,

Waite, Miller & Co., of Culpeper Court
House, Va, brought recently, some thirty suits
against the farmers of Caroline and Spottsyl-
yania to recover the price of their fertilizer
known as the ''Picdmont Guano,'' which these
farmers alege, was spurious article.
The farmers had plead to these actions that
the contract of purchase was All Illegal one,
and void, because of the failure Of Waite, Mil
Ter & Co, to attach label to the bags contain
ing this fertilizer, setting forth the analysis of
the guano, rs required by the 49 section Of
chapter SO of the code of 1873.
This section requires that all commercial ma
nures and artifcially manufactured fertilizers
sold in Virginia, shall have permanently atliN-
cd to every bag thereof, stamped or printed
label which shall specify le.ibly the name Of
the manufacturer and the analysis OF the fertl-
izer.
Judge Barton, on Thursday last, at Caroline
Circuit Court, sustained the farmers pleas, and
held that the failure of Waite, Miller & Co. to
ladel their bags was fatal to their recovery.
Hence, there can be no recovery of the purchase
money OF suauo sold in bags not labeled.

A Card from Mai. Tate.

Maj. WIN. II. Tate, chairman of the Conscr-
servative committees land, whoa as such organized
the late nominating Convention, but opposed
the election of its nominees, having been as
sailed by writer's in the Spectator and Ei1sds-
Gator, and by the latter paper editorially, is
out in Card in the Spectator of the Cd. de-
ending his action during the canvass. He de-
cares that he is still conservative, in favor Of
conventions and party machinery. but objects
to the perycrson Ct the organization from its
legitimate purl oses to the accomplishment Of
personal ends. The sum and substance of the
article is that Maj. Tate did not get his men,
and therefore did not feel under obligations to
support the Nominees.
This is the spirit we like to see exhibited by
prominent members OF the Conservative party,
and notwithstanding Maj. Tate's persistency in
calling Convention against the will Of the
people, it is gratifying to know, as the Convcn-
ton to carry out his wishes, he repudiated it,.
Such independence will have a sautary effect
upon the conservative organization, and con-
tribute TO breaking it into flinders. We are
surprised that a gentleman OF Maj. Tate's in
telligeEce and habit OF free thinking, had not
long since discovered that the Conservative
party was a fraud-a fraud in its creation-a
fraud in its practice, and, if continued in pow
cr, will bankrupt the State.

By the political ring Of the county, and the
arbitrary eXactions that have been made of
th. people by the curb-stone statesmen who
iomireered and tyranized over them with q
severity never before cqualed, we have en-
de.rored to arouse the voters of the county to
the duty they owed themselves, in asserting
t!leir manhood at the ballot-box. The hreak-
ing OF the back bone of the caucus, by the cleo
ton of Mr. Stuart to the Legislature oven the
regular convention nominee. is the result OF
this determined resistance Of tile people to the
ins0lelIt dognlatsm of the caicsls manipula-
tors, and demonstrates that Conservative ring
