STOCK ITEMS.

PiHsburg stockman, october 2sth, 1880.
Cattle are a shade higher in London,
but dull.
The Chicago Fat Stock Show will
open November 10, and continue one
week.
Stocks of American meats are un-
usually low In England, and exporters
feel little more hopeful in consequence
of this fact.
Live stock exports from New York
last week; Cattle, $40 head; $500
quarters of beef, 1925 carCasses of
mutton, and 1870 dressed hogs.
1t Is fact worthy of note that while
hogs have declined quite heavily in the
last thirty days, the decline in pork and
pork products has been comparatively
light.
The epizoot in New York is said to be
followed in many cases by glanders,
which lOathsome disease is In many re-
spects worse than the one which pre-
cedes 1t.
The wool trade continues about as
last repOrted--tlrm, rather active, and
withal promising, The present situa-
tion certainly cannot long continue,
and change soon after the election is
very prObable--a change which we hope
will be for the better.
The very latest advices sum up the
markets as follows: Cattle--weak
everywhere. Hogs-active at Chicago,
st. Louis and Buffalo, quite and steady
at Cincinnati and indianapolis. Sheep
firm at New York, lower at Buffalo,
and steady at Chicago and st. Louis.
Liverpool received from the United
States, In the month of September,
1890 cattle, 200 sheep and 2,026 hogs;
from Canada 3,568 cattle, 3,619 sheep,
and no hogs. The total losses in transit
were 0l9 cattle, 1913 sheep and 1903 hogs.
The percentage of losses on United
States cattle was much heavier than on
Canada stock.

TIE Cincinnati Enqairerhas a VOlumi-
nous correspondent in New York City,
who has a remarkable faculty for pre-
senting questions to his readers, which,
ifnot always pleasing and agreeable to
the readers Of Democratic paper, are
amusing to Republicans. In his article
in Mondays Enquirer, he Is heavy on
the Catholics. How much truth there
is in the extractwe give below from his
letter we do not know:
We have no objection onatiOnality or
religion as such, but the Roman Catholic
Church in this city, In violation Of the
spirit of the Constitution Of the State,
draws now from the public treasury, to
support the institutions of that Church,
$700,0 900 per year. In the last eleven
years that Church in this city has drawn
from the public treasury over 30, 100000.
Under Mr.. Kelly it draws more annu-
ally than it did under Tweed. To en-
large the power and strengthen the hold
upon the City Treasury Of the Roman
Catholic Church Mr.. Kelly has now put
in nomination for Mayor W. II. Grace,
a Romanist, of only four years resi-
denCe in this city, and only thirteen
years o citizen, even If his naturallza-
tion papers were honestly obtained.
The election of Mr.. Grace Mayor means
adding the 80, ,5OO,0 900 Of school money to
the 500, 900 that is now contributed an
nually from the public moneys in this
city TO the Propagandist Fund.

furnished which horse comfort could
suggest. In order to prevent chills
sick animals should be well blanketed,
unless their quarters are much better
than those found in the average stable,
and especially should this be done If
there is occasion to take them out Of
doors. They should be worked as little
as possible, and all violent exercise
should be prevented. A sick horse
should never be taken into the rain, for
no matter how well blanketed, it will in
nine cases out of ten be worse for the
exposure, Not only feelings Of human
ity but motives of self-interest should
prompt every one to do all he possibly
can for the comfort of his horses dur
ing the prevalence of the contagiOn.

The presidential campaign that has
just passed will be long remembered
as one in which there has been more ex-
citement and more anxiety felt in refer
ence to the results of it than any that
has preceded it. During our long ex-
perience as an editor, and the numer-
ous presidential campaign in which we
have taken part, we have never known
as much downright Misrepresentation
and abuse heaped upon an opposing
candidate as the Democratic papers and
orators have inflicted upon Gen. Gar
field, the Republican candidate for the
presidency this year. The most bare
faced lies and the most impudently
forgedletters have been written and pub
lished that have ever been perpetrated
at any time upon any candidate for the
first Office in the government, for the
purpose of defeating Gen. Garfield, one
of the ablest and purest statesmen that
this government has ever had. And
when these lies and fOrgeries have been
contradicted and proved to be such by
authority that the best Democrats in
the country dare not disbelieve, their
newspapers continued to publish them,
and used all the wicked ingenuity they
possessed to make their readers believe
that they were telling the truth, when
they knew they were giving currency
to what was false as false as could be.
Even that latest SANDER and mean libel,
the Morey letter, so-Called, continued to
be published in the Cincinnati Enquirer
and kindred Democratic papers of less
consequence, after it had been proven
to be a libelous and slanderous Publica-
tlon, averring that the letter was written
by Gen. Garfield himself. If these edi-
tors had the least bit of honor or sensi-
bility in their composition their cheeks
never would cease to burn with shame
for the miserable slanders they have pro-
mulgated upon one of the purest and
best men in our government.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.


Thursday, November 95, Appointed
as a Day of National Thanks.
giving
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 1.-THE following
was issued to-day:
By the President of the United States
of America,
PROCLAMATION.
At no period in their history since
the United States became nation has
this people had so abundant and so uni
Versal reasons fOHjoy and gratitude at the
favor of Almighty God, or been SUBJ
jeCt to so profound an obligation to give
thanks for His loving Kindness, and
humbly to implore his continued care
and protection. Health, wealth, and
prosperity throughout all our borders;
peace, honor, and friendship with all
the world; firm and faithful adher-
ence by the great body Of our popula-
ton to the principles of liberty and
justice, which have made our greatness
as a nation, and to the wise institutions
and strong frame Of government and
society which will perpetuate; for all
these, let the thanks Of happy and
united people, as with one voice, ascend
in devOut homage to the giver of all
good.
l, therefore, recommend that on
Thursday, the 25th day of November
next, the people meet in their respec-
tive places Of worship to make the ac-
knOwledg ment to Almighty God for his
bOunties and his protection, and to offer
to Him prayer for their continuance.
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington, this
1st day of November, in the year Of
our Lord 1880, and of the independ-
ence of the United States the 105th.

mo CnmpnIgn EGna Passed.

The election campaign has passed,
and we have no doubt but many of our
readers are glad of II, and now expect
something besides political reading.
While political reading matter at cer-
taih periods seem to be necessary, and
isdemanded by great portion of our
patrons, this character Of literature, we
know seems tlresome TO others, but now
that the excited campaign has passed,
we expect to furnish our readers with
greater variety Of interesting reading
matter; but because the campaign is
over and the demand for campaign read
ing matter has passed by, we do not
wish ourreaders TO understand that II Is
our design to ignore politics, or to cease
the publication Of political reading mat
ter. We expect to keep the great prlnci-
pies Of the Republican party prOmi-
nently before the people. These prln-
ciples should never be lost sight Of or
regarded with Indifference by the peO-
pie, and here let us remind our friends
Of the Republican party that "vlgilanoe
Is the price ofliberty, and that II we de-
sire the perpetuatlon Of our Republican
principles, we must ever be vlgllant In
their advocacy. We know that our Re-
publican friends are too apt to become
Indifferent in relation to the success Of
candidates on our ticket, and thus
jeopardlse the supremacy Of our Repub-
llcan principles, after having achieved
victory. This should not be the case,
our political opponents are always quick
10 see our lukewarmness, and ready to
take advantage Of our apparent indlfEer-
ense. Let us notforget, then, that every
year another struggle has TO be made
for the sustenanoe Of those great Ma
tional aud State principles which we
believe 70 be best for the whole people,
and that lt Is our duty TO be posted and
ever ready 70 meet the arguments Of our
opponents to sustain our political prin-
ciples.

THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEES
MEETING AT DOVER - THE STATE
CONVENTION cALLkD FOR MAY 25TH.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee met in Dover yesterday, DR.. G.
f. Richards, Of Georgetown, chairman,
and James L. Wolcott, Secretary.
There was full attendance of the
members, and the vacancies caused by
the death Of Two members from Ke, {
county were filed by the election of
DIR. Il. g. Cooper, of Camden, and
Cornelius j. Hall of Milford.
Henry G. Turner, ESQ.,, of this city,
appeared before the committee and
argued in favor Of holding the next
State Convention of the Democratic
party in Wilmington. He cited the
advantages he thought would accrue
to the party from the change, and on
behalf of certain members of the party
in this city guaranteed the use of the
Opera House and free excursion train
from Georgetown to Wilmington and
return.
Mr.. James Megary, the member of
the committee from this city, also
A"'OlON hoioihS ehC Cbdto OOnftuJlOu
in Wilmington.
The other members of the commit
tee considered the proposition, but in
view of the fact that the time for hold
ing the State Convention was close at
hand and that they would have no
time to consult with their constituents
in relation to the proposed change,
they felt constrained to vote against it
and to call the Convention this year at
the usual place, Dover.
The time for holding the Convention
was then considered, ana after consid-
Grafton it was decided to issue a call
for the State Convention of the Demo-
cratic party to be held in the Court
House at Dover, on. Tuesday, May 25th
at 10 o'clock noon.
This Convention will be held for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
National Democratic Convention,
which meets in Cincinnati on Tuesday,
June 22d. The committee will meet
again to select the time of holding the
State Convention for the nomination
of candidates for Presidential Electors
and for Representative in Congress.

This company of artists will appear
at the Opera House this evening in
their amusing extravaganza entitled
"The Brook" In speaking of the
company and the piece, the New York
Star says /:
THE Brook is an entertainment
which is entirely bright. altogether
amusing and universally liked. The
story is barely thread upon which to
string as beads the clever recitations,
the capital songs, the bubbling fun,
the pleasant incidents, and all the hap
penings of a theatrical picnic party,
but it serves its purpose admirably,
and delights all those who are fortu-
nate enough to see it.
Those of our citizens who desire TO
spend a pleasant evening and be agree
ably entertained, should not fail to see
the "Troubadours," as they will pro-
duce fun from the time the curtain
rises on the first act until rung down
ON the last.
