A Thanksgiving Proclamation.
TERRITeRY or IDAHO.

In civilized nations, special DAYS are
consecrated memorable events-vlctofles,

Of congratulation and OF sorrow days
which measure epochs in discovery, IN
vention, intellectual advance, moral
growth and social change days 10 marx
the succession of seasons, and to cele-
brate, in grateful observances, the bless
ings which they bring.
1t has been custom from the early
times, at the falling of the leaf, when Tie
ripened fruits of toll are gathered to pause
and reverently thank God tor his good
ness and care. Recognizing the fitness OF
this observance, at the close OF , ear
crowned with peace, plenty and tranquil
ty, the President has, by proclamation, set
apart Thursday, the twenty day OF
this month of November, for the giving
Of thanks and praise 10 Almighty GOD
for His mercies, and to devoutly beseech
their continuance
In full sympathy with this act OF ma
tional cohsecration, it is recommended 10
the good people of Idaho, that they remit
their accustomed labors, and devote the
day to the public services of religion, in
their chosen ways--tO the assembling OF
families--to the Strengthening OF kindred
and social ties--tu the forgiveness OF in
.juries, and to the rational enjoyment of
those temporal blessings which have fallen
from the Divine hand.
On that day may the stranger find wei
come at our tables, our firesides and affairs !;
and comfort and consolation be brought
to the children of want and sorrow, on
whom the Christening hand has been laid.
Mingled with all thankfulness for the
past, and joy in the present, let there be
fervent supplication, that righteous may
SO exalt this nation that it shall be held in
honor and fear throughout the earth
that the union Of these States may be per-
petual-that strifes and jealousies may
cease--that, animated by love of our coun-
try and kind, we may realize allow good
and how pleasant it is for brethren to

In order to test the question once
for all, the New York Journal of Com
merce says that Congress at its next
session should transfer the Indian bu-
reau to the war office; "a year or two
would make good or refute the preten-
sions Of the army officers ON this sub
jeet." The suggestion has been made
before, and is always in order. There
are obvious faults in the double head
ed system under which the govern
ment has blundered SO long, and re-
cent events admonish us that the
sooner some decisive policy is adopt
ed the better it will be for the inter
ests Of Saxon and savage alike.

THE PRESIDENCY.


The Springfield Republican has pub
lished an interview with Samuel j,
Tilden, who declared himself in favor
of Charles Francis Adams as the
Democratic candidate for President.
If the interview was correctly report
ed Tilden may be counted out Of the
field, which will be relief to the
Democrats, as they could not have
much hopes Of succeeding with him
at the head of their ticket. The CT
pher dispatches, whether there was
or was not any blame that could DO
attached to lilden, proved OF consid-
cradle damage to his prospects, and
caused many men to doubt his patri-
otism. The income tax business
would be held up by his political enc
mics in its darkest shade, and all to-
rethcr would not cause the Democra-
cy to entertain very strong hopes Of
victory with him as standard bearer.
We do not think Til,len is half as
bad man MS he is represented, and
would like to see him in the Presiden-
tial Chair, but Americans are ever
ready to receive az undisputable facts
all stories deiaming a statesman's
character, and we ale inclined to be-
lieve that those in relation to Tilden
were started on the most flimsy
grounds, but have been received by
thousands Of voters as absolute facts.
Knowing the character. Of the Amer
lean people so well, politicians usual
~ resort To SANDER aud underhand
work to damage q mans character,
knowing full well that their points
can be more eilectually carried by
such course. The late war placed
politics on low footing, and caused
great many hot headed and bad men
to secure popularity. Many Of them
are INSCRIPTIONS in the extreme, and
it looks to us like the people should
be slow to discard any man whom
they defame, but the facts are before
us, and although candid men may
favor the election of Tilden next year,
it would not be safe for the Democrat
ic party TO nominate him. Tilden, it
appears, understands the situation,
aud steps aside to insure the nomina
tion Of a more popular man. His
choice is Charles Francis Adams, hut
the indications are that Bayard is the
choice of the Democratic party There
is not stain on the character Of Mr..
Bayard and, should he be nominated,
will undoubted be elected by hand,
some majority, no matter who should
be his opponent He is a man the
country is willing to trust, and the
campaign against him would not be "a
very energetic one on the part Of lib
eral Republicans.

An effort is being made at the East
to convey the impression that General
Grant is strongly favored by Southern
Democrats for President. To believe
some Of the statements, the Democrat
ic party is honeycombed by the Grant
movement. In support Of this the
DRY, it is urged that the South is tired
of Northern Democratic restraint; and
this in face Of the full swing given to
the Confederate Brigadiers in the ex-
ira session. The Grant "boom" in
