Current Notes.

The Washington Capital is printing some
severe articles about Mr.. Samuel J. Randall
1t alleges that he has pledged himself, if
elected Speaker, so to organize the commit
tees of the House of Representatives as to
prevent any expression OF faith or opinion
upon any subject now before the public.
The Washington Sunday Chronicle has
pronounced in favor of third term. This
journal must not be confounded with the
Washington Chronicle, and the sudden
change OF front on the part of the Sunday
paper can only be regarded as an absurdly,
-Ne,o York Herald.
No man has held the office OF Postmaster
General with such universal approval of The
people as Mr.. Jewell, and the President has

dom of selecting an officer who has so ably
and successfully administered the affairs of
the -mismanaged and neglected postal
ser?ice.-Chicago Tribune
A special from London states that the

be construed as literally as those OF Euro

would send such note as that which Presi-
dent Grant has caused to be delivered at
Madrid unless it were ready to fight; and any
Government with sense of respect would
fight rather than yield to such dictalioa.

BY the President OF the United States
0f America:
PROCLAMATHON

In accordance with practice at wise and
beautiful we have been accustomed the year is
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-
tection during the closing year. Amid the rich and
FREE enjoyment of all our advantages we should not
forget the sources from whence they are derived,
and the extent of obligations to the Father of IL
Mercies. We have full reason to renew our thanks
to Almighty God for favors bestowed upon during
the past year. BY His continuing mercy civil and
religious liberty have been maio lained; peace has
regned within our borders, labor and enter prise
have produced their merited rewaIds, and TO his
watehful providence we are indebted to security
from pesiience and other national calamity. Apart
from national blessings, each individual among us
has occasion t. thankful recall and devoutly recog-
nze the tavors and protection which he has enjoyed
Now, therefore, ], Ulysses s. Grant, President OF
the United States do recommend that on THURSDAY,
the 25th day OF November, the people of the United
States abstaining from all secular pursuits and from
their aecus omed avocatons do assemble in their re-
spective places of Worship and In such form az may
seem most appropriate in their hearts offer to
Almighty God their Acknowledgements and thanks
for all His mercies, and their humble prayers for a
continuance of His divine favor.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my land AMI
caused the seal Of the Uuited States to be affixed
Done at the City of Washington, this 27th day of
October in the year of our Lord 1875, end OF the
independence OF the Uuited States the one hun

OF its notes to Washington, together with all
other expenses, direct or incidental, attending
the redemption of the same, and for the return
OF the notes to the residence of the holder.
For The notes of Ill banbs which have failed or
gone into voluntary liquidation prior to the
18th OF June last, and also of the same num-
Der of other banks that are retiring all or part
of their circulation, there have been deposited
in the Treasury legal tender notes to the
amount of circulation outstanding or to te
retired: Such circulation is by law redeemable
Oy the Treasury; yet as matter of fact, these
notes or nearly all of them, are presented to
the treasury through this agency; and as these
banks nave no five per cent. fund TO which to
charge their pro rata share of the expenses,
the same can only be apportoned and assessed
uDon the banks still in full operation There
was "n deposit in the Treasury on the 50th of
June, 1875, $1S, ,203.667 o. in legal tender notes
for the purpose of taking up the circulation of
such backs, the government getting the benefit
of this deposit without interest or expense, aud
yet under the law the expense of relieving
such circulation is taxed to the remaining
banks, who have had no benefit therefrom.
This is manifestly unjust, as the profs of this
banking system are diminishing because OF
Increasing taxation and untriendly legislation.
The humber of banks Withdrawing their circu-
latou is rapidly increasing, and to the same
degree the proportion of this unjust levy upon
the remaining Oanas will Increase"

Tue reported activity in the Navy Depart
ment has produced something CT sensation
throughout the country. indeed, there are
many who really believe that we are on the
eve of war with Spain. There is undoubt-
edly little of the warlke talk Of two years
age, and it is altogether probable that war
like editors and platform speakers will at
once begin to rutlle up the feathers Of the
traditional American eagle. There is, how
ever, no danger of immediate war with
Spain. 1t would take six months to get
ready, and ere that even Gen. Banks, who
will undoubtedly be Chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Relations, will think
that war with SO despicable government as
Spain isn't desirable, when he shall have most
powerfully rufiled every feather Of our typical
bird rs only Gen. Banks can.

SENATOR Morton was interviewed the
other day by representative of his home
organ, the Indianapolis Journal, as to the
next Presidential canvass. He said:
entertain but little apprehension about the
result of the next Presidential election. The
Democratic party is under the control of the
old anti-War politicians, who sympathized
with the Rebellion, and although these men
are trying to talk loyalty, yet the people have
not forgotten their record, aud will not trust
them; and L believe that the Union soldiers
and the people of the North who took part in
the Rebellion will be better united against the
Democracy than they were in 1866 The pres.
ence of between eighty and ninety Confederate
officers in the next Congress is a fact the sig-
nicance of which is not to be mistaken The
recent demonstrations throughout the South
in favor of jeff Davis and the heroes and priu-
ciples of the Rebellion have not escaped the
attention aud consideration of the people Of the
North. 1n short i am satisfied that the people
of the United States are not prepared to trust
the mlnistration of the government, its
finances, its honor, and Its prosperity in the
hands of its late enemies, who have tor twenty
years shown their incapacity Tor everything but
crimes and blunders.

Much ado about nothing is the comment
made by Democratic journals upon the re-
cent article published in favor of third term
in an obscure Sunday paper in Washington.
Importance is sought to be given to the art,-
Gle by calling the journal in question Forney's
Chronicle, and mention is omitted cf the fact
that the Forney in question is not the Phila-
deiphia editor, but q nobody-in- particular
who claims kinship with the eminent Penn
sylvanian. The Chronicle is in pretension an
independent paper, but for many months it
has been actively Democratic, and the article
so widely commented upon is evidently de-
vice of the enemy.

The Maine Law.

To tie Edttor of the Press:
The question is not as you and the B,iJgton
News suggest, whether or not the imprison-
ment of a man fer selling glass of ale would
be harsh and unreasonable, but is simply this
Should the rum-trafiic be suppressed as at pres
ent required by law? An English Judge many
years ago, in sentencing horse thief to the
gallows, said "We do not hang you for steal
ing horse, but that horses may not be stceD."
The effect of the enforcement of the statute
as it stands now is that 'the traffic has been
almost monopolized by the lowest and most
reckless class, who hide away in cellars" The
American Citizen said that in its issue Of the
11th inst.
1t is true as you say that ''the liquor law has
been actively enforced iu this city" since June
last. Thousands of gallons of liquor have
been seized and over $4,000 collected in fues
the PAST six months, yet who will say that in.
temperance has decreased?' That question is
yours. The reason hat intemperance has not
been diminished is, that mere tiues Will not re-
strain "the lowest and most reckless class"

ture imposed the penalty of Imprisonment for
the first and every subsequent conviction. and
referred the law to popular vote, by which it
was approved. The Immediate feet Of that law
was large reduction in the number of secret
rum shops. But at its next session tue Legsla-
iure repealed the law, without petition from
any quarter. The Legislature paid no atten-
ton TO the endorsement of the law by the peo-
pie.
Another question arises, and it is this: Are
the people of Maiue really in earnest III their
wish and determination tc suppress "drinking
houses and upping shops? think they are
des 2eratey in earnest.

THE adoption of the new constitution in
Alabama is certainly matter for regret, as
the instrument does away with the clauses of
the old constitution which rendered the sup
port of the common schools imperative, and
contains clauses providing a way for the re-
pudiation OF the public debt. After doing
away with her school system and repudating
her debt Alabama can with great reason
claim 10 be representative Democratic

that state. The depression continues with
no indication of an early removal Tie

The receipts are much less than they were

only 105 tons measurement, with q inches
thickness of armor, and with a ram bow.
She is armed with a Krupp gun which the

nothing being able to persuade them that if

In the matter of depriving the colored chill
dren of opportunity to acquire common
school education, it would seem that Ken
lucky vies with Alabama. The apportion-
ment in Kentucky is so managed under the
present statutes that to the white schools
the allowance per pupil is nine times that
made to the colored schools per pupil enrolled.
To further increase the discrimination, all
whites between anG 20 years of age are en-
rolled as school population, while only the
colored youth between the ages of 6 and 16
are so enrolled. The colored peoples School
