The MOrey Letter.

The New York Tribune, in the Washing
ton dispatches, has the following:
A correspondent of the Tribune this even
ing had conversation with two gentlemen of
high respectability, who were in New York
the week before the publication of the
Morey letter. and who there learned some
thing which may be of interest to the people
who are seeking to find out who is responsible
for the forgery. These gentlemen were sit
ting in their hotel on Friday evening, the
18th of October, when Gen. W. W. Averill
with whom they were acquainted, came in
and entered into conversation with one of
them. Gen. Averill said. as nearly as can be
remembered:
1T is all right. l have just come from
Governors Island cannot divulge to YOU
what is going on. but it is big thing, and it
is going to turn this whole thing. Although
we lost Indiana, Hancock is going to be cleo
ted; don't you make any mistake about it.
This is as sure as You live. There is some
thing to be sprung on the other side; can't
tell you what it is, but there's letter COM
ing ont which you will see in the papers. 1t
NAV be published in two days, and it may be
four or five. We are going to send it to the
Pacific coast. When it comes out Garfield
cannot carry a'single Pacific State; he can't
carry the West"
General Averill was very emphatic. The
gentleman to whom he made his communica-
ton told the substance oft to his companion,
and the two, who are republicans, thought
nothing further Of the matter until about
week later, at which time they were in Bos-
ton; there they saw the Morey letter and
both recognized it at once rs the big thing
to which General Averill referred. The
names of these gentlemen cannot be given
for publication, but are at the service of the
officers of the law.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving.
To New Highlander bred and born,
this is the most significant day in the year
Governor Bradford. of the Plymouth col
ony, after the first harvest was garnered,
in 1921, appointed a day OF public thanks
giving and praise to Almighty God for his
goodness to his children by the bleak
shores of Massachusetts Bay. The Gus
tom has come down to us. That little
candle which was lighted by our devout
Puritan ancestors, now throws its beams
all over the broad land 1t Is no longer
a peculiar custom OF an isolated settle
ment; it is now festival national in its
scope and fast becoming worldwide. This
year the Governor General of Canada in
troduced the usage into the Provinces.
We believe that the Governors of nearly
every State in the Union have united with
President Hayes in requesting the people
TO observe this Thursday as day of Ma
tional Thanksgiving.
1t seems to us that the people of Maine
and the people of the United States have
abundant cause for rejoicing this cool
November morning. The dark days of
financial depression are over. The coun-
try was never so prosperous. While fam
inc, poverty and disease have blighted
other less favored lands with their nox-
ious breath. we have enjoyed plenty,
health. and peace. We have been pre-
served from the scourge of war and from
the pestilence that walketh at MONDAY.
We have had abundant harvests. The
earth has fairly groaned with the prodi-
gality of its productions. The ocean is
covered with the white sails of our COM
merce. Money is flowing to our
shores in golden tide. Manu-
facturers are unable to keep apace
their orders. Labor is employed
and contented. Our country is entering
upon the grandest decade in its history
But in addition to these merces we have
another and browning cause for thank
fitness. The political party which we be-
lieve represents progress and good gov
eminent mas triumphed. The election of
the Chief Magistrate of the Nation has
been attended by no disorder and followed
by no dangerous dispute as to the real re-
suit. The section which has defiantly ar
rayed itself against the whole country has
been humbled and taught lesson. We
trust that the "Solid South" will no long
er be a menace to patriotic Americans. In
the future we believe that the arm of our
Government will be long enough and
strong enough to protect an American cit
izen anywhere.
"ofwaat avail the plough and soil.
Or land. or life, II Freedom fail,"
As we gather around the festal board
to-day, may good digestion wait on APP
petite. For the nonce let care be BAN
ished; let no dark shadow fall on any
household. 1t is u time for merrymaking;
of family reunions; of cheerful memories
of the past and hope and courage for the
future. We Woodworking Americans
need day of relaxation once in while.
Let those who have received the blessings
of prosperity share their gains with their
less favored brethren. Let the prisoner
he visited. Let us review the twelvemonth
past, and we shall find in its tangled web
more threads of sunshine than we dreamed
of.

Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1880-01-01

The most terrible disaster in the At
lantic Ocean, since the loss of the White
Star steamer Atlantic on the coast of
Newfoundland, is that of the steamer
Borussia. Few details are given, but
bare facts are sickening. Over month
ago she left Liverpool for New Orleans
with one hundred and five passengers
and a crew of fifty-four men. She
touched at Corunna and took aboard
seventy-five more passengers. On De-
ceinber /, while off the Azores, terrific
gale was encountered, which continued
throughout the next day, when the
ship began to leak. The majority of
the crew seem to have deserted their
officers in a panic as the survivors say
that no orders were given to lover the
boats. eleven Of which put off from the
vessel. The captain and twenty of the
crew, together with nearly all of the
passengers, were left on the vessel.
which shortly afterwards disappeared
from the view of those in the boats.
Only one of these, containing nine per-
sons, has been picked up, and the prob
abilities are that the other ten will new
er be heard of again. In fact, one of
them capsized at the ships side and
five men were drowned. Capt. Rob-
erts of the BOrussia, was regarded as
one of tie most able and experienced
commanders in the employ of the Mis-
sissippi and Dominion Company
Nothing that has thus far been receiv-
ell concerning the loss of the Borussia
reflects either upon his seamanship or
his conduct. On the contrary, he stood
with his ship.

The Maine Rebels.

From New Orleans Democrat
The excitement into which Messrs.
Blaine and Hamlin have worked them
selves over the action of Gov. Garcelon
and his Council in ruling out returns of
election because of gross informalities
does not seem to meet with the response
on the part Of the Northern press and
people which was no doubt anticipated.
Even the New York Times counsels
peaceful methods of procedure, and
deprecates the violent language used
by the Radical partisans in their at
tempt to create u revolution and over
throw the existing government in
Maine. The fact is that the present
attitude Of Blaine, Hamlin & Go. is so
! utterly at variance with that assumed
by them during the Returning Board
troubles in Louisiana, that everybody
is laughing at them. They heartily
| approved all the rascality practiced
here by their party friends and de-
nounced our people for rebelling
against the lniquity, but flare up
nightly when the returning officers
of Maine propose under the constitu-
ton and laws of the State to throw out
| u large number of votes be- atse of in
| formalities. What was sauce for the
Louisiana Democratic goose is by no
means sauce for the Maine Republic
can gapder. The medicine they pre-
scribed for us they decline to take
themselves, and, instead of resorting
to the Legislature or courts for relief,
they propose to remedy the matter by
al appeal to arms, after the manner of
tile Mexicans. The little local dis
turbance i'm Maine sinks into insignifi-
canoe by comparison with the tremen-
dous electoral frauds consummated
with the full approval of Blaine,
Hamlin & Co. in Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida, and even were
Governor Garcelom perpetrating the
fraud falsely charged against him, in-
stead of obeying the law, it would be
extremely difficult now to work the
country up to pitch of indignation
about matter involving only one
State.
If they submitted quietly and, as we
think, shamefuIly, to the Preparation
of fraud upon the whole country,
perpetrated by the Radical party, why
should they get very angry over lit
tie squabhle in Maine, especially when
it is clearly shown that the Governor
is acting under the law and is sustain
cd by the best legal minds in the State
aud by the Supreme Court Of the State,
which is said to be composed of Radical
Judges. Let Blaine and Hamlin be-
ware how they encourage people to rise
against the legal authorities Of Maine,
or they may soon learn to know
what It " 70 be ranked as rebels
and treated as disloyal to the Un-
Ion.

Tho New York Hernid's Philadel-
phia correspondent is authority for the
statement that the election of Senator
Cameron TO the craftsmanship of the
Republican National Committee was
the result ola conference in which il
was decided to make Grant the candi-
date for the first place on the Republi-
can ticket next year. Cameron was
put forward because he represented the

opposi ton because there was practical
" no opposition to Grant in the com.
Sherman and Blaine were in hope
less minority, even had they combined
their forces. At the conference the en-
tire programme for the coming cam
paign was arranged. Sherman's friends
were consulted to some extent, bnt
Blaine was completely ignored. Per-
haps il lie due to this cause that the

to incite insurrection in Maine. II the
