ton:
In accordance with practice at once
wise aud beautiful, we have been &C.
customed, as the year is drawing to a
close, to devote an occasion to al hum
bile expression of thanks to Almighty
God for ceaseless and distinguished
benefits bestowed upon us as Nation,
and for his mercies and protection dur
ing the closing year. Amid the rich
and free enjoyment of all our advan-
tages, we should not forget the source
from whence they are derived, and eX-
tend our obligations 10 the Father OF
all mercies. We have full reason to
renew our thanks to Almighty God for
the favors bestowed upon US during
the past year. BY his continuing mer-
cy civil and religious liberty have been
maintained; peace has reigned within
cur borders labor and enterprise have
produced their merited rewards, and
TO His watchful providence we are in
debtsd for security from pestilence and
other national calamities. Apart from
the other national blessings, each in
dividual among us has occasion to
thoughtfully recall and devoutly recog-
nize the favors aud protection which
he has enjoyed.
Now, therefore, l, Ulysses S. Grant,
President of the United States, do rec
olnmcnd that on Thursday, the 25th of
November, the people of the United
States, abstaining from all secular pur-
suits and from their accustomed avo-
cations. do assemble in their respective
places 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 mercies and their humble pray
ers for the continuarcc of His divine
favor
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 this
9th day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and

The decision of the court in the mat.
ter of alimeny pendente lite, Young vs.
Young, was delivered in the Third Dis.
trict Court on the Goth of October, by
Judge Foreman. The court previous
ly ordered that the defendant should
appear personally in court when the
decision was rendered. The affidavits
of two physicians were sworn to, stat
ing the defendant was scarcely able to
be out of bed, and that it was danger
Gus for him to leave his room. For
that reason they asked that he be ex-
cused. The court gave brief history
of the case. aud at the close spoke as
follows: The order in this case grant
ing alimony pendente lite was not i'm
properly made, and stands unrevokcd
and not obeyed | am asked to enforce
it. A court, in order to maintain its
dignity, self-respect and authority, can
not allow its orders repudiated, disre-

judgment of this court that defendant
be imprisoned until the 80, 800 and cost
of suit are paid, and released by the
court. In accordance with the above,

Come West.

The Washington Chronicle says that
by the great New York editor. 1t is
good advice yet. There is vast float
ing population in the great cities, who
are accomplishing nothing for them
selves, or for the good of society. The
cities are over-crowded. They have
grown faster in proportion than the
country. This disproportion is ILL.,
creasing more rapidly now than ever
before: and both the cities and the ru-
raj districts are suffering in conse-
quence. The retail trade of the cities
is so cut up and divided, that high
prices must be sustained, in order TO
meet the store and family expenses.
There is a fine field opening just now,
in the western States and Territories
Tor youthful enterprise. All along tho
frontier there has been an unusually
heavy harvest gathered. In Kansas
there has been nothing to equal the
present harvest in abundance. Pro-
visions are plenty and cheap. Business
has revived, and is generally good. The
services OF mechanics are i'll demand.
One years work will put ayoung man
on his feet; and he is no sooner able TO
stand than he sees openings ahead,
through which he can march right on
to prosperity.
The mistake that many make by
crowdlng into already over-crowded
cities, is not one of easy remedy At
ter a short residence, they find that
their plans have not succeeded. They
have been disappointed. Their means
if they had any, have been exhausted;
their ambition has been crushed; their
energy is gone. They find it difficult
to come to the west, into better field
for industry, for want of means to
bring them here. Discouraged and
forced, from necessity, they resort to
peddling, bar-tending, and tho lowest
drudgery, and not unfrequently to dis
honest practices, in order to prolong a
miserable existence.
Young men, while you have the
means and opportunity to do SO, take
the advice that was honestly given,
years ago: $50 West" Here, homes
are more easily made than in any other
portion of the Union. Here, good
citizen feels his manhood, benefits him.
self, makes his family happy and exerts
an influence for good upon the entire
community, and, in many cases, upon
the State and the Nation.

A Fellow Senator on Chandler.
Senator Anthony, in the Providence

senator Antn0ny, In the providence
Journal, says:
| The selection of Mr.. Chandler for
Secretary Of the Interior brings to
that important department large abili-
ty, unquestioned integrity, and great
experience in public affairs. Tho ln-
terror is one Of the most varied, CON-
plicated and difficult of the executive
departments. The Indian affairs, the
land office, the pension Office. the pat
ent office, the census Office, and the
bureau Of education all come under its
control; aud the Indian bureau espe-
cially has been source of continual
trouble and complaint. Men have not
vet been found who will undertake the
duties of Indian agents, with their
lives in their hands, cut themselves off
from all the comforts and securities of
civilization. and devote themselves
with apostolic Kindness, unsclfishness
and love to the good of men who will
take of your scalp while your arc try
ing to teach them the c8techism. And
every delinquency of every Indian
agent is uniformly charged to the per-
sonal account of the Secretary of the
Interior. Mr.. Chandler is business
man. He has acquired a great fortune
by legitimate mercantile operations.
lie has distinguished himself by the
advocacy of a sound currency, and has
long been one of the most reliable and
trusted leaders of the Republican par
ty. He is man of great thoroughness
aud industry, for which he will find
abundant opportunity in his new posi-
ton, and he is not easily imposed up
on. No man has been more shameful
ly lied about, personally, politically,
and in every way in which disappoint-
cd applicants, soured politicians and
repulsed black-mailers exhibit their
yenom; and nobody cares less about it..
