A Proclamation

The recurrence of that season at whchit is the
habit OF our people to make devout and public con-
fession of their constant dependence upon the Di-
vine favor for all good gifts of lite and happiness and
OF public peace and prosperity exhibits, in the
cord OF the year, abundant reasons for our gratitude
and Thanksgiving Exuberant harvesus, productive
mines. ample crops and staples of trade and manu-
factuIes have enriched the country. The resources
thus furnished to reviving industry and expand
ing commerce are fastening the day when discords
and dstresses through the length and breadth of the
land. will. under the continued favor of Providence
prosperity. Peace with a nations has remanded un-
broken, domestic tranquility has prevailed, and tue
institutions o. liberty and justice which the wisdom
and virtue OF our fathers established, remain the
glory and defence OF their children. The general
prevalence of the blessings OF health through our
wide land has made more conspicuous the suferings
and sorrows which the dark shallow of pesiience
affiictOn even the Divine Ruler has tempered to the
suffering communities in the universal aid and
cor which have flowed to their relief, and the ole
nation may rejoice in the unity Of spirit in peo.
pie, by which they cheerfullv hare one another's
burdens.
Now, therefore, /, Rutherford B. Hayes President
OF the United States, do appoint Thursday The
tWenty-eigbth day Of November next, day of ma
commend that, Withdrawing themselves from secular
cares and abors the people of the United States do
meet together that day in their respective places
of worship, there to give thanks and praise to AL
mighty God for mercies, and to deyoutly beseech
their continuance.
In witness thereof have hereuntc set my hand
and caused the seal Of the United States to be al
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this hirteth day of
October, in the year OF Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy eight and of the inde-
pendence of the United States the one hundred

Keep It Before the PeopIe.

Notwithstanding the overwhelming proofs
that in the last Presidential election, not only
were several Southern States Estates as strong
ly Republican with fair vote as any State in
New England) carried for the Democratic nom
inee by the most detestable series of outrages
and murders, but in others where these afro
cious crimes failed of their purpose, those hardly
less infamous, including forgery, perjury and
bribery were attempted, there are still those
among the baser and mora reckless parlisans
and party organs that have the unblashing
hardihood to prate about the fraud By which
Mr.. Hayes holds his position; and this not
withstanding the fact that grossly partisan
committee, packed for the purpose of finding
fraud, after months of lsbor and an expense to
the nation Of tens Of thousands Of dollars have
utterly failed to establish single fact tending
to show wrong doing on the part of any one
connected with this administration, by q single
scintlla Of proof that would stand a N oment
before any honest tribunal The assertion that
President Hayes holds his office by fraud, or
that he, or any of his friends in his behslf
were guilty of completely with fraud before,
during or after the election is as UNANIMOUSLY
false as any that ever emanated from the father
of lies. 1t is the old cry of "stop thief raised
by a detected criminal to divert attention from
the real culprit. REPUBLICAN.

Excerpts from Oldport Days.

1t was late in September, a day of perfect
calm. As we looked from the broad piazza,
there was CLASSY smoothness over all the bay,
and the bills were coated with film, or rather
mere varnisb, inconceivably thin, of haze
more delicate than any other climate in Amer
ics can show. Over the water there were
white gulls flying, lazy and low; schools of
young rnackerel displayed their white sides
above the surface; and it seemed as if oven
butterfly might be seen for miles over that calm
expanse. The bay was covered with mackerel
boats, and one man sculled indolently across
the foreground in scarlet skiff. 1t was so still
that every white sail-boat rested where its sail
was first spread; and though the tide was at
half-s BIB, the anchored boats swung idly differ
ent ways from their moorings. Yet there was
a continual ripple in the broad sail of some al
most motionless schooner, and there was con-
stant melodious plash along the shore. From
the mouth of the bay came up slowly the pre-
monitory line of bluer water, and we knew that
breeze was at hand.
Across those tumultoous waves I like to
watch, after sunset, the revolving light; there
is something about it 50 delicate and human.
1t seems to bud or bubble out of the low, dark
horizon; a moment, and it is not, and the n
another moment and it is With one throb
the tremulous light is born; with another throb
it has reached its full size, and looks at you,
coy and defiant; aud almost in that instant it
is utterly gone. You cannot conceive yourself
to bs watching something which merely turns
on an axis; but it seems suddenly to expand, q
flower of light, or to close, as If ;soft petals of
darkness clasped it in. Daring its moments of
absence the eye cannot quite keep the memory
of it's precise position and it often appea ears a
hair-breadth to the right or left of the expected
spot. This enhances the elfish and fantastic
fickering surprises every day and ali night
long. But the illusion of the seasons is just as
coquettish; and when next summer comes to
us, with the blossoms and its joys it will dawn
as softly out of the darkness and as softly give
place to winter once more.

Thursday, the 2s day Of November, 49,
The Afghan War.

Fort Ali Musjd. just captured from the
Afghans by the British, is one OF the leas t
distractions in the redoubtable Kbyher Pass.
There will in all probability be much severe
fighting before the Pass is forced and the
English troops placed on the road leading to
Cabul.
A glance at any good map will show the
position CT the three British armies. The
first, consisting of 10000 men, is in the
mouth of the Kbyher Pass, the shortest
route from the Indian frontier to the Afghan
capital. A little to the south of the first
army, but still on the northeast frontier of
Afghanistan, the second army Is advancing
to the yet-unattempted Khorum Pass, even
easier to defend than the other. This army
consists of 5000 men. The third army of
$4,000 men enters the enemy's country from
the South, taking its start from Quettah in
Beloochistan and making its way through
the Bolan Pass. By special treaty with the
chiefs of the tribes of that country, made in
1854, the Indian government has a right to
place garrison anywhere in its limits.
@-OAA LJ AosS CuOoCA SUCbtdls ClOoC Wy
the Afghan frontier, for his garrison; and
tais garrison it is that is now moving on
Candahar and Herat.
To confront the total British force of 34,-
COO men the Ameer has nominally 160 900
troops under his command. But the defec-
ton Of the hill tribes of the East upon whose
cooperation he confidently counted, will
greatly reduce this number. The British
plan of campaign is to divide his forces.
They believe he will send one army to meet
them at Khyber Pass, another to Khorum
Pass, and still another to the South. But if
he should prove to be a good general, leave
the Southern garrison to make its tedious
way to Herat, permit the first army to force
the Khyber Pass, and then fall upon it with
all his troops while the second army was
battering away at the lower Pass, the result
might be awkward for the British. However
they probably know their enemy and lave a
sufficient acquaintance with his tactics to be
able to guard against them.

WASHINGTON specials report that in the
committee on appropriations there are al
ready signs of deadlock between the Re
publicans and Democrats over continuing
the appropriations for the payment of super
visors of elections and for prosecuting the
cases now being undertaken in the South by
the department of Justice. Some of the
Democrats, however, favor making fair ap-
propriations for both these purposes as a
matter of expediency. The Republicans will
be fully prepared, by the time the question
can come up for debate in the House, to ex-
pose the facts Of the South Carolina and Lou
