The following is tho first proclamation
ever issued calling for National Thanks
giving 1t was issued by George Washing
ton to 100000 OF people, less than one
tenth as many as responded to the one issued
by President Hayes:
''When we review the calamities that
afilict SO many tier nations, the present
condition of the United States affords much
matter of consolation and satisfact on. Our
exemption hitherto from foreign war; an in
creasing prospect of the continuance of that
exemption-the great degree of internal
tranquility we have enjoyed-the recent con-
firmation of that tranquility by the suppress
sion of an instruction which so wantonly
threatened 1.-THE happy course of our put
lie affairs in general-the unexampled pros
perity of all classes of our citizens-are Cir
cumstances which peculiarly mark our situa-
ton with indications of the Divine benef-
cence toward US. In such state of
things it is in an especial manner our
duty, as people, with reverence and affec-
tlonate gratitude, to acknowledge our many
and great Obligations to Almighty God, and
to implore Him to continue and confirm the
blessing we experience.
Deeply penetrated with this sentiment, I,
George Washington, President of the United
States, do recommend to all the religious so.
cieties and denominations, and to all persons
whomsoever, within the United States, to set
apart and observe Thursday, the 10Th day of
February next, as day of public thanksgiv-
ing and prayer, and on that day meet to-
gether and render sincere and hearty thanks
to the Great Ruler of nations for the mani
fold and signal mercies which distinguish
our lot as a nation-particularly for the pos
session of constitutions of government which
unite, and by their union establish liberty
with order; for the preservation of our peace.
foreign and domestic; for the reasonable
control which has been given to spirit of
disorder in the suppression of the late in
surrection and generally for the prosperous
condition of affairs, public and private,
and at the same time humbly and fer
vently to beseach the kind author of
these blessings graciously to prolong
them to us; to imprint on our hearts O
deep and solemn sense Of our obligations to
Him for them; to teach us rightly to esti-
mate their immense value; to preserve us
from the arrogance of prosperity, and from
hazardlng the advantages we enjoy, by de-
luslve pursuits; to dispose US to merit the
continuance of His favors by not abusin o
them, by our gratitude for them, and by a
corresponding conduct as citizens and as
men; to render this country more and more
propitious asylum for the unfortunate of
other countries, to extend among US true and
useful knowledge, to diffuse and establish
habits of sobriety, order, morality, and piety,
and finally to impart all the blessings we pos
sess to ask for ourselves to the whole family
of mankind.
In testimony thereof, I have caused TIE
seal of the United States Of America to be
affixed to these presents, and signed thr
same with my hand. Dons at the city of

AN EXPLANATION NEEDED.
Grave Charges ADaimst the Integrity I
Senator. Hill.

Grave Charges Against the Integrity of
Senator Hill.
Grave charges are made against Senator
Ben Hill. These charges come from mem
bers of his own party in Georgia. He is ac-
cused of having entered into COLLISION with
the instigators of suit whereby he and his
partner had opposite sides, but yet divided
the fees. Some time ago the legislature Of
Georgia passed an act providing for the in
dorsemeut of the bonds of new railroad en-
terprises in the State. Subsequently this
law was repealed, but in the repeal excep-
tons were made in favor of roads that had
begun operations prior to the date of the
second act.
The Atlanta rolling mills had a claim
against the Northeastern railroad company
to large amount for iron. The bonds Of
the road were at first unindorsed by the
State. 1t was judicial question whether
this road was entitled to be considered an
exception under the act. This road was
bankrupt and the rolling mills only hope
OF securing their pay was to have the roads
bonds Endorsed by the State. AS the story
goes Ben Hill was employed by the railroad
company to bring suit against the State. It
~ charged tnat ne arranged with his
son and law partner to represent the
other side, the interests of the State, and
that it was arranged with them that the
State was to lose the case. Hill was to be
paid fee of $4,000, $4,000 of which was
to be paid by Hill to the counsel who repre-
sented the State. The lower court affirmed
the responsibility of the State. The case
was appealed. The higher court threw out
the case, holding that it was question for
the Governor alone. Gov. Colquitt decided
to indorse the bonds, and did SO while Ben.
Hill was in Washington.
The result was that the rolling-mill COB.
bled up all the railroad bonds, and Ben. Hill
was crowded out of his fee. Hill was made

The Advantages of the Boom.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Col. Walker having, by my request, added
to tie partial report which was read at our
boom meeting, the statistics showing the ca
pacity of saw mills and booms in furnishing
employment to men, the profits of the stock
in booms, and the amount of cheap fuel
from slabs md edgings, there is nothing
more needed to complete that report on my
part but to draw the differences which any
intelligent citizen can do as well as myself.
The differences are that saw mills will spring
up as profitable investments, that saw dust
and bark and slabs will furnish a motive power
for flour mills and other manufactures equal
to water power, and that st. Paul can rap
idly grow side by side and full abreast with
Minneapolis as the headquarters for the
manufacture of lumber and -four, the two
great staples of the State. And that the
stupid blunder of the past in letting these
great Industries drift to other localities can
be retrieved by the one prompt stroke of
policy proposed in this project.

a BASE FORGERY.
Publication Of Bogus Document for til.
Insane Asylum Committee.

When Joe Howard wrote the bogus proc
lamation asking for more men, and signed
President Lincoln's name thereto, he at
tracted temporary notice, and gained such a
notoriety that he is known in New York to-
day simply as the proclamation forger, and is
rarely mentioned by his own name. On a
smaller scale the Pioneer Press can rank as
forger. 1t published yesterday morning
what purported to be report of the Senate
committee appointed to investigate the st.
Peter Insane Asylum. That portion of the
public unacquainted with the char
acter of the p. p. forgers were
liable to be misled and imagine that they
were reading genuine document. Such
persons will be undeceived when they see by
this mornings GLOBE. that, while the COM
mite have been considering their report
they are at variance, and have not yet agreed
upon its contents. That the public might
know the facts, we addressed note yester-
day morning to Col. Morton, the only mem
Der of the committee in the city, asking him
whether or not the publication was, in any
sense, copy of the coming report. In re-
ply we received the following concise state
ment placing the official seal of fraud and
forgery upon the bogus affair published by
Bill Kings paper:
To the Editor of the Globe.
In reply to your note of this morning, l
would say that the Senate investigating commit
teeiappointed by the legislature to investigate
the State hospital for insane, have made noreport
and are not likely to do SO before the middle
Of this week. The report published in the
mornings Pioneer Press with signatures OF
Messrs. Doran, Drew. Rice and myself at tached,
was entirely unauthorized and 1 confidently
assert that as far as Messrs. Doran, Drew and
myself are concerned they are forgeries,
and state most positively that the publica-
ton referred to does not express the views of
the committee. Neither would the committee
have thought it proper or in good taste to have
furnished a copy of their report to the news
papers before transmitting the original to his
excellency, the governor, as provided by reso-
luton of the Senate February %, 1878. Sena-
tors Doran, Drew and Rice will return to the
city tomorrow and will sustain the foregoing
statement of facts. Respectfully yours,

Queer, isn't 1T?
Rochester Post.I

The Minneapolis Millers' association ha
resolved to deduct 10 cents bushel from the
price of wheat that has been bound with
wire, claiming that pieces of wire getting
into the mill machinery injure the stones, and
especially the b. lting cloth. It is altogether
probable that some means will have to be
adopted to get rid OF the particles of wire in
wheat from the binders, but if the
action OF the Minneapolis millers had oc-
Cured somewhere else, and if it were not for
the fact that paper band self-binders are
manufactured at Minneapolis and wire-bind
ers at st. Paul, their action would look more
reasonable,

very angry by this, because if he had been
on the ground when the bonds were endorsed
he would have got his fee out of them be-
fore they were turned over. The position
was embarrassing, for to bring suit would
be to expose the scandalous facts connected
with the suit. Out of Hills anger at the
loss of his fee came his charges against the
integrity of Gov. Colquitt in indorsing the
bonds. What Hill charged, in his anger, he
refused day before yesterday to substantiata
before the investigating committee having
Colquitt in charge. It is said that Hill
would now be very glad to get out of the
whole matter by avoiding any scandal upon
himself and let his fee 90.

city by Mr. Shaw, was unveiled this afternoon
with appropriate ceremonies, and in the pres
ence Of fully 10000 people. An Grafton in
German was delivered by Chas Ludink, and
another in English by VIM. T. Harris superin-
tendent of public schools. Mayor Overstolz
removed the veil, after which the pedestal of
the statue was strewn with flowers by the fe-
male scholars of the united gymnastic societies.
There was also music by the singing societies
and orchestra. The statue stands opposite to
similar one of Shakespeare which was also pre-
sented to the city by Mr.. Shaw.
