YESTERDAY.

When we say that yesterdays Thanksgiving was
like all previous THANKSGIVING, we would be under
stood to mean not depreciation but praise Ii there
was no improvement, it was because there was no
room for Improvement. The presidents when were
followed were long ago perfected. There can be no
monotony Of social reunions. Turkey is turkey
still, and will be turkey through all time
to come-white meat. black meat breast
meat, drum-sticks, wings, side-bones, popes
nose, must, until the gnstatOry nerves OF the
true Yankee are rearranged, be desirable, nay de-
lcIous. There skeptics who prefer other Dlrds,
and talk of ducks and barn-yard fowls but associ-
alton is something, avOirdupoIs is something, ana
an inherited taste has its claims. If the eagle had
been edible we might have roasted aud served and
bolted him; peacOcks scarce and expensive;
and SO we have settled down upon turkey. aud once
a year at least we feel an agreeable inward weight
which conyinces us that we might have done worse
No doubt the sentiment of thandulness was as
strong yesterday as il ever or ever will be- The
churches were as well attended as usual, and the
clergy improved the occasion, after the orthodox
fashion TO discuss secular matters from religious
po,nt of view with that freedom which the custom
of the anniversary permits. The little epicures Of
the charitable institutions did eat of rare Gates ana
were filled. At the TOmbs $50 pounds OF fowl were
devoured by the inmates all manner OF Homes mad
their groanlng boards, and there was feastlng IN
each House of Correction or Relief Nobody needing
to be remembered was forgotten, aud the children
were specially cared for, which was but proper 1t
is astonishing how dull this repetition of the Glorles
of Thanksgiving Day seems; and if dull
to us, how much duller it must seem to
the reader. But when millions of merry
makers have made merry most successfully,
the mourners being in minority. the fact should
not pass without special mention. Happy those
who have no occasion to-day for repentance over
any excessive indulgence of yesterday! Christmas
is next in order, and New-Years, so that the
meteoroogy may be as sombre as it pleases. Kind
ness and cheerfuness, sympathy and charity bright
homes and home duties well performed, VIII make
us independent of barometer and thermometer, ana
all other meters whatsoever, through dull Noyem-

tons. ETC., proves that fraud was then
made almost impossible; and the TACT tnat
under the sixty years OF the war De-
psrtment regime no such fraud is known to
have been committed is the strongest kind
of an argument for the abandonment OF the
present system, which is well known, to use
General Marcy's words, to be Immensely ex-
"pensive, highly conducive to fraud, and I'M
satisfactory to the Indians" Lastly he gives
recent instance of military guardianship OF
the Indians, on a small scale, which resulted
so well that the brutal and angry savages re-
TUNED to their reservation as civilized red
men.
OF one thing we may be sure-that wrong
full acts committed by Republicans at South
Carolina election polls will be sternly judged
and swiftly punished. letter from our stan
correspondent Ill that State shows now
promptly the Democratic lovers OF order
resent very slight Republican offences. Three
leading Republicans of Orangeburg were ar
rested on the following charges: that each IN
turn asked admission to the pOlling-place, IN or
der to keep tally of the votes for the Repub-
licanS that one went so Tar as to demand ~
it that when this right, secured to them by
the laws of the State was refused, the last
mentioned rufian, n cOlOred man, remarked
that he would he id if he didn't 60 in"
The chivalry Of Orangeburg seem to have sub
mitted with Spartan calmness to the brutal
affrOnt to the election laws comprised i'll the
demand for q night secured by those laws, but
when they heard this wicked Republican ac-
tually using prOfane language, they could
bear it no longer. About forty of them ar
rested him, and knocked him about a
good deal, in their pious Indignation
before they took him off to iail.-This
is actually all that is alleged against
these Republicans, for our correspondent
heard the testimony, and much even of that
is said to be perjured. But on these charges
two highly respectable citizens were held for
trial at the same time that the Judge privately
assured one of them that there was no case
against them. In the light of such transac-
tions as this. and of such fraud and wicked
ness as our correspondent exposes III his
second letter, how majestic stands the figure
of Justice in South Carolina! 1t Is a
crime to demand a right, when Democrat
does not choose to give it it is a crime to
get angry at refusal, when you get angry ut
a Democrat. But it is no crime to Cypress,
to intimldate to cheat, TO outrage, and to
murder--when the victim is Republican.

If the Solid South is obstructing the right
of the blacks to vote as it is undoubtedly
doing, its present full representation in Con-
gress is fraud upon the whole cOuntry-just
such fraud as the Fourteenth Amendment
was designed to prevent. And Congressman
Page proposes, therefore, to give the Solid
South its choice between losing some of its
Congressman and allowing the negroes their
rights.

Congressman Waddelfs testimony to the
fidelity of the blacks to the Republican party,
not only in his own State of North Carolina,
but all over the South, ia refreshing COM
mentary upon the claim of Wade HamptOn's
bulldOzers that the negroes are learning to
vote with the party which enslaved them and
subjects them now to cruel outrages. When
asked whether they vote sOlidly, rule. for
Republican candidates, Mr.. Waddell frankly
saws that he has never known them to vote
any other way, and that he is told "On good
authority" of their voting the same way all
over the South. "There is a fascination
"to them in the very name of Re-
publican" But his allusiOn to the cleo
ton methods observed in the State where
the sO-called conversion of negro voters has
reached its largest proportions, is more signifi-
cant still. He says he does not know whether
the charges against the South Carolina Demo-
Gratis are true or not, though he heard hints
"Of suck course TO be pursued" This is an
edIfying disclosure, indeed, to be made by a
Democratic Congressman from the other Caro-
lima. We respectfully suggest that when there

any desire, on the part of Army officers,

that the unanimous opinion of the Army in
favor of such a change is. in any way, due
TO interested motives He shows that

which it is now proposed to return was all
that could be asked. General Marcys testi-
