THURsDAY:::::::.:::: ::::::NovEMBER 80, IS;
THANKSGIVING DAY.

Is accordance with the recommendation
of tie President of the United States this
day will be generally observed through
out the country as a season of thanksgiv-
ing to Almighty God for his many mer-
cies, for the bountiful harvests which
nature has yielded in response 20 the toll
of the husbandmen. and for the great
measure of peace and plenty that bless our
lard: As the day is usually devoted to
morning of devout and grateful worship,
and the evening to practical attestation of
the appreciation of Gods bounty by feast
ing upon the good things which the har-
vest has returned, in order that all en-
ployees of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
may have full opportunity to participate
in those religious services and festivities,
in common with their neighbors and
friends, no paper will be issued from this
office on Friday morning. "Thanksglv-
ing Day" is one of the legal holidays
authorized by act of Congress, and the
Executive Departments will consequently
be closed. 1t is to be hoped that all may
enjoy this season of festive reunion in
those rational and moderate indulgences of
appetite which promote health and happi-
ness and tend to prolong mortal existence,
and avoid all those excesses which are
mere drafts upon vitality that must be
honored in the future by curtailment Of
LIES span. Iutoxication and gluttony are
poor evidence of gratitude for suficiency
of the necesssries of life. The abuse of the
abundance of today must be atoned for by
the inadequate supplies of tomorrow.
Wasteful prodigality in days of plenty is
pretty certain to be compensated for by
Universities sooner or later that will reduce
US 10 feel the punching of want. Then we
will crave the very 'husks" of what we
once discarded as totally unfit for our
dainty appetites and pampered stomschs.
As the sf1uent and "well-to-do" indulge
in their abundance to-day and sit down to
turkey and game, and then tempt their
waning appetites with buildings, pies, tarts
and fruits, let them give thought to their
humble neighbors, who cannot procure
anything better than herring and corn
pone or slice of bacon garnished with
coarse hominy. While thanking God for
their own plenty, let them send of their
cheer to these less fortunate neighbors,
and by making other hearts glad expert
ence the verifcation OF the Saviour's as
surance that 'ft is more blessed to give
than to receive"

with the cries Of '.hloody shirt" aud ''out-
rage mill" for reply. This will no longer
avail. The proof is now produced in a
form that will shock the civilized world
and cause all Christendom to veil her face
in shame, humiliation and horror. THIS
land of freedom and boosted self govern
ment by means of a free ballot and tole-
rance of religious and political opinions
must arise in her might and reduce these
"banditi' to subsection, by providing for
their punishment and for the protection of
their victims from further atrocities, or
yield the palm Of good government to the
despots of other nations.

The Illinois Legislature appears to be
pretty close, but there is clear majority
of Logan men on joint ballot SO that his
reelection as Senator is morally certain.
He will be opposed by two renegade Re-
publicans, Trumbull and Palmer, who can
neither of them obtain more than the regu-
lar Democratic vote. The Independents
are understood generally to prefer General
Logan over them both, on account Of his
liberal notions on the currency and Granger
questions.

THE report of Colonel Timothy Lubey,
superintendent of the Washington asylum,
which is printed elsewhere, will be found
most excellent Thanksgiving reading, and
as such we heartily commend it to the at
tention of all. The miserable unfortunates,
SOME of them weak and some depraved,
have claims upon our attention, our charity
and care which we cannot afford to ignore.
In self-defense we should establish such
reformatory institutions as will encourage
them to lead lives of honest industry and
virtue.

was Pharaoh's request that the Hebrews
make adobe bricks without straw. Hundreds
of these poor wretches will be nesting, hun
CRY and homeless, amidst the populous poverty
of the city this day. In alley novels, pinched
in by the towering walls of gr ante or of brick,
the appetizing aroma of done brown turkey
will be minus quantity, and the wan, gaunt
faces of this morning will be more wane and
gaunter still in the dim light of the cleaning.
Remember this, and in giving thanks let US
give what we can to alleviate the sufferings
and administer to the wants of those who are
in need

NOTHING but death or insanity can now
prevent Gov. Hayes from being the next
President of the United States. That he has
been elected is as true as the existence of
men. South Carolina and Florida have given
him their electoral vote, and Tilden's hopes,
which since yesterday rested alone on Louisi-
ana, are this morning blasted. That State
can never be announced for him. Truth, JUS
tice and humanity demand that it shall not
cast its electoral vote in the cause of murder,
outrage and base infamy. The appalling wall
that comes up from 0uachita protests against
it. The details of the recital of Eliza Pinkston
protest against it. The blood of her murdered
husband and only child protest against It.
The law of our land and the spirit of our in
situations protest against a party riding into
power over the mangled corpses of innocent
babes and the bleeding forms of 8. disfran-
chised and oppressed race. Tilden may get
the thirty-fiye electoral votes in New York
State by systematized fraud in the slum wards
of the metropolis, but as long as there is
God in Isreal and just Returning Board in
New Orleans, he will not get the eight cleo
toral votes of Louisiana. The Bashi-Bazouk
white-line element of the Democratic party
might better learn now than at any other time
that the power which in this modern age
burst forth to curb the great and raise the low
wields yet the sceptre of Governmental power,
and will protect the manumitted slave in all
his interests as citizen and subject.
NOTWITHSTANDING the earnest efforts of the
Great Powers in the direction of peace, Tur-
key will be dismembered to-day, and the par
tition will revert largely to the abdominal in
terests of the American people, and for this
should we all be thankful. That day of
Thanksgiving should be day of feasting
seems quite natural, for he that is well fed is
contented, and he that is contented can give
thanks with relish which a hungry man can
not realize. To ask a meek and lowly mortal,
wrestling with the fangs of hunger fastened
deep in the inner man, to be truly grateful
would be more cruel and inconsistent than

Remedy for "a Great Wrong.


Section Of $50 OF the revised stat
utes Of the United States, page ,076,
contains these provisions Of law:
IF two or more persons in any
State or Territory conspire to pre-
vent by force, intimidation, or threat,
any citizen who Is lawfully entitled
to vote, from giving mis- support or
advocacy, In legal manner, toward
or in favor of the election Of any law
fully qualified person rs an elector
| for President or Vice-President, or
as member of the Congress of the
United States; or to injure any citi-
zen in person or property on account
of such support or advocacy; each Of
such persons shall be- punished by
| fine OF not less than five hundred nor
more than five thousand dollars, or
| by imprisonment, with or without
hard labor, not less than six months
nor more than six years, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment"
There can be no question whatever,
that this law has been violated not
only In South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana, but also in Texas, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas, Georgia and North
Carolina, and to greater or less de.
gree in other sections of the Southern
States. Either the law should be en-
forced or repealed. Its terms certain
~ appeal TO every mans sense of
justice. Every voter ought to have
a free and unobstructed right to cast
his vote us to him may seem best. 1t
cannot be successfully denied that If
such unobstructed election had been
held the electoral vote of several
oth6r Southern States would be cast
for Hayes and Wheeler, and the Re-
publicans would have large MAORI
ty in the House. As il is they are
literally dcfrauded of their rights.
Should there not be n remedy for
this?
The New York Tribune, apparent
ly despairing of any other mode of
redress for these great wrongs dis
cusses the possibility of making them
right themselves by applying the
principles of one Of the constitutional
amendments;
"When that provision of the NfVth
amendment is virtually nulliiied I'M
der which the basis of representation
Is reduced i'm proportion as the right
of suffrage is denied, the armed voter
who drives another from the polls
Yields double the power which is
exercised by the iaw-abiding citizen
elsewhere, and thus in more than one
way there Is offered apremium upon
violence. IL Is fortunate that acqui-
escence by the northern voter In this
Injustice to- southern Republicans
amounts to surrender OF
portion of his own polit-
ica power. Men who are not prompt
to defend the rights OF others may
yet be very jealous of their own, and
the country will not long permit
minority OF turbulent voters TO usurp
u disproportionate share of tho pow
or tc name our representatives In

masters at the time thcy were elect
ed, and hence disqualified by the
United States Constitution. True,
they did hold offices of trust or profit
under the United States at the time
of their election as electors, but they
have since resigned their positions as
postmasters, and others have been
appointed to fill their places. Their
disabilities rs electors arc thus re.
moved before their election Is certi-
fed or they have been sworn into
office. II they are not now eligible
there are merely vacancies, and these
vacancies can be filled by the remain
ing electors from their respective
States as provided by law.
In consequence Of an error in some
of the poll-books in Wisconsin the
Democracy wanted to claim an elect
or there. One of the Republican can
didates for election was changed after
the names were printed In the poll
books and sent out. The change was
made In printing the tickets, and the
ballots were cast ali right, but I'm
some cases the judges Of election
failed to change the printed name on
the poll-books to correspond with the
tickets, and hence the Democracy
hoped they would gain an elector by
that mistake.
Again the Democrats wanted to
claim Illinois for Tilden on account
OF some irregularity in returning the
vote In Chicago.
In some other State they claimed
that the name OF an elector was mis-
spelled on some OF tho ballots, and
hence they claimed that Tilden was
elected.
These bubbles will not avail the
Democracy.
