A BAY Of Thanksgiving and Prayer.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-President
Hayes to-day issued the following pro-
clamation: .- ..."
THE completed circle-of summer and
winter, seed time and harvest, has
brought us to the accustomed season at
which a religious people celebrate with
praise and thanksgiving the enduring
.naercy of Almighty God. This deyout
and public confession of the constant
dependence Of man upon the. Divine
favor for all the good gifts oflife and
health, and peace and happiness, so
early in our history made the habit of
our people, finds in the surveyed the
grateful manifestation. $500.
I'm all the blessings which de- pend
upon benignant seasons this has indeed
been memorable year. Over the wide
territory Of ow country, with all its
diversity of soil and climate and pro-
ducts, the earth has yielded a bouui,:,I
return 20 the labor Of the husbandman.
The health of the people has been
bliglded bylno prevalent or widespread
disease. No great disasters lofglship-
wreck upon our coasts or to our com
merce on the seas have brought loss
and hardship to merchants or mariners,
and clouded the happiness Of the com
munity with sympathetic sorrow. In
all that concerns our strength and peace
and greatness as nation; in all that
touchessthe permanence and security of
our government and the beneficent in
.stitutions on which it rests;ln all that
affects the character.a and disposition of
Our people; and tests our capacity to,
enjoy and uphold the equal and free
condition of society, now permanent
and universal throughout the land, the.
experience ofthe last year is conspie-
uously marked by the protecting Prov
dence Of God, and is full of. promise
and hope for the coming generations.
:'Under a sense of the infinite sobli-
cations to the Great Ruler of times and
seasons and events, let us humbly as
cribe it to our own faults, and frailtles
if, in any degree, that perfect concord
and happiness, peace and Justice, which
such great mercies should diffiuse
through the hearts and lives of our
people, do not altogether and always
and everywhere prevail. Let us with
one spirit and one voice liftup praise
and thanksgiving to God for His mani-
fold goodness to our land, His manifest
care for our nation. .,..r
CHOW. therefore, 1 Rutherford B..
Hayes, President Of the United States.
do appoint Thursday, athe,s29th dayaof
November next, as. a day Of National
Thanksgiving and Prayer, and I ear
.nestly recommend that, Withdrawing
themselves from secular cares and Ia
bors, the people of the United States do
meet together on that day an, their re-.
spectiTe places of worship, there to-
give thanks and praise to Almighty
God Tor His mercies, and to devoutly
beseech their continuance" ins ,gGzg o5s

THE RIOT SU1Ts.-The first suit
against Allegheny county, Pa, for
damages suffered during the Pittsburg
railroad strikers riots has resulted in a
verdict of 81, 045 for plaintiff, awarded
BIZ the arbitrators to whom the claim
was submitted. The Railway World
says: %[.'
'They base their conclusion on the
law of May 81, 1S4I, which makes the
county of Philadelphia liable in damages
for all property destroyed by mob or
other riotous assemblage within its
limits, the provisions of which law
were, by act of March Goth l849, ex-
tended TO the county of Allegheny.
The case will most likely be taken to
the county court, and thence to the
Supreme Court of the State, which
ultimately will have to lay down the
law which is to govern the hundreds of
cases growing out of the Pittsburs

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser says that the ''earpet-bagger'' as. !
now in request IN the South, and that
the authorities, new papers, orators apd
the President Of the United States are
all taking up the matter and Offering
all kinds of inducements to Northern
people to come and settle" The .Ad=.
vertiser wilfully confounds "carpet-
baggers" with Northern people," AS
it we'll known the. South has all along,
.whileit- loathed~ the ~ssearpet-bagger, u
sought to attract to its borders honest
and Industrious 'aNorthern people.p
1t is scarcely necessary to explain the.
difference between the two, the ts'cmpet-:
Dagger" being an adyentmer who visits
the South Tor thsD purposes of. ofiice-
seeking and public ,plunder, and the
.'t,'Northern people," whose coming is
welcomed, being men Of integrity and
thrift, who emigrate to cast in their
fortunes witt, the Southern people, and
by industry and legitimate enterprise
earn. an honest living. There never
has been a time, either before or since
the war, when a Northern man, not of
the genus sscarpet-bagger," was ostra-
cised in the, South, or did not have just
as far aschance for official distinction
has the natives The cases of Sergeant
S. Prentiss, of Mississippi, John NJ.
Berrien ofGeorgia, Governors Johnson
and Walker, of Virginia, and hosts of
others might be adduced in proof of the
fact. I'll s.a-...-.- ..--.- w. .-'--
The distinction between the carpet
Dagger and the northern man seeking
1 to make his fortune or his living, by
legitimate pursuits is more distinctly
recognized by no class than by North
ern men who have settled in the South.
The man in pursuit of business seeks a
home and engages in his business with
a purpose to advance his own interests.
He receives encouragement from the
people in the South, to the same ex.
tent that they would encourage ore Of
their own citizens. This is the only
class we have new. The carpet-bagger
has long SINCE found his appropriate
place in the penitentiary or among
those who live by swindling others in
other sections of the Union. He can
no longer secure Office in the South BY
waving the bloody shirt, and our fer
tile lands and congenial climate is no
longer inviting to him. We care moth
ng for a mans politics, Ifhe be honest
and seeks to make a living legitlmately,
he will be welcomed in the South.
Land can be bought at a very low price.
To the energetic and enterprising, a
field is now open which presents at
fractions of more permanent charac-
ter than those which caused the great
tide of emigration to the gold mines of
California. We have fertile soil.
cheap land, congenial climate, excellent
water, valuable minerals, lumber and
every facility for manufacturing With
these advantages immigration will
naturally tend towards our State.

The Great Land Suit.

1t was announced sometimes since
that a Mrs. Millar, of New York, had
instituted suit in that city far the recov-
cry ola large amount ofpatent land ly-
ing in Virginia, West Virginia, Ken
lucky and in the city of Philadelphia.
The New York Herald says these lands
were purchased from the State of Vir-
ginia by John Yound, wealthy cracker
and army bread baker, between the
years 1856 and 1872. For certain fam
lily reasons patents to the amount of
$4,000 acres, though registered in vari-
GUS courthouses, were kept by a. son of
John Young's for many years locked
up III box. Last summer this gentle
man, ferdinand NJ. Young, of Baton
Rouge, La, gave the documents to his
daughter, Mrs. MIllar, together with a
quit claim, which enables her to bring
suit where she resides. The. deed was
placed on record. in New York a short
time ago, and several Of the parties who
are now occupying the land have ex-
pressed their willingness to compromise.
She will probably pursue the same poll
cy as Mrs. Gaines did in New Orleans,
and willuse the money received from
these compromises to prosecute the 9TH
er claims. The only heirs SO far known
are FERDINAND N. Young, Baton Rouge;
his daughter, Mrs. Millar; VIM. Nash
Young, Frederick City, Nd, and John
Ball, of Philadelphia. A valuable por-
ton Of the claim consists of property in
the immediate vicinity of Washington
Square, Philadelphia, and also in Alex
andria, Va. Portions of the Virginia
lands are now occupied by the Central
and other coal companies. Portions of
the lands in West Virginia were survey
ed by George Washington, to whose
wife; the ex-widow Gusts, John Young
was related by marriage.
