The Presidents Thanksgiving PrOcla'
nation,

The President on the 7th issued the
following Thanksgiving proclamation:
BY the President of the United States of
America-A Proclamation:
1t has long been the pious custom Of our
people, with the closing of the year, to look
back upon the blessings brought to them in
the changing course Of seasons, and to re-
turn solemn thanks to the all-giying source
from whom they flow; and, although at
this period, when the falling leaf admonsh-
es us that the time of our sacred duty is at
hand, our Nation still lies in the shadow OF
its great bereavement, and the mourning
which has filed our hearts still finds sor-
rowful expression toward the God before
whom we but lately bowed in grief and sup
picaton, yet the countless benefits which
have showered upon us during the past
twelve months call for our fervent gratitude
and make it fitting that we should rejoice
with thankfulness that the Lord in His inf
mite mercy has most signally favored our
country and our people. Peace without and
prosperity within have been youchsafed
to us. No pestilence has visited our
shores. The abundant privileges Of free
dom which our fathers left us in their wis
dom are still our increasing heritage, and
II, in parts OF our vast domain, some af-
Fiction has visited our brethren in their
forest homes, yet even this calamity has
been tempered and in a manner sanctifed
by the generous compassion for the suffer-
ers which has been called forth throughout
our land.
For all these things it is meet that the
voice of the Nation should go up to God in
deyout homage.
Wherefore /, Chester A. Arthur, Pres-
dent of the United States, do recommend
that all tie people observe Thursday, the
oath day Of November instant, as a
day OF National thanksgiving and prayer,
by ceasing, so far as mag be, from their
secular labors, and, meeting in their
several places Of worship, there TO join in
ascrbing honor and praise to Almighty
! God, whose goodness has been so manifest
in our history and in our lives, and offering
earnest prayers that His bounties may con-
! tinue to us and TO our children.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set
/ my nand anu causeu the sedi oi lhe UhlJeu
| States 10 be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington, this 4th
day of November, in the year OF our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and eighty -one
and Of the Independence Of the United
States the one hundred and sixth.

The Government has been worsted
in its first encounter with the alleged Star.
route malefactOrs. Judge Cox, Of the Dis
trict Criminal Court, before whom the case
against Thomas ]. Brady ct al. was brought
by "informatiOn, decides that the crime
charged is an "infamoIs'' one, in the Ian
guagc OF the statute, and that the accused
should have been proceeded against
by Indictment. He therefore or
dcred that the prisoners be dis
charged. After The reading of the
Judges decision, Col. W. A. Cook, the
special counsel Of the Government, made an
explanatory statement which created no lit
tie sensation. After speaking of the una
voidable delay in preparing the cases for
trial, caused by the shooting of President
Garfield, he said he was fastening back from
Elberon to Washington to present the eases
before the Grand Jury when he was sur
prised by the announcement that the Grand
Jury had adjourned. lie asserted
that neither the Attorney General
nor the counsel engaged in the prosecution
had the slightest intimation Of such an un'
usual proceeding. The recess had been 1Ol
a sufficient length of time to prevent the in
dictment being found in this case on ac
count of the statute OF limitation. Emer
goncy had existed, and in order to preven
positive failure Of the ease the prosecution
determined to file information. This state
ment throws the responsibility Of adjourn
ing the Grand Jury upon District Attorne,
Corkhill, and in recent statement the lat
ter alleges that Attorney General MacVeagl
had knowledge Of the proposed adjourn
ment. Mr.. MacVeagh is yet to be hear,
from Col. Cook says additional cases vii
now be prepared and brought before tn

himself to a reporter so far as to say that he
believes President Garfcd's wound was not
necessarily mortal, and that he would prob

treatment. He charges that the wound was
not properly dressed or cleansed until Drs.
case, three weeks after the wound was in
flicted, and it was then too late to prevent
blood poisoning, which had already set in.

The result of the various State cleo
tiOns held on Tuesday, the Sth, may be
briefly summed up as follows: In New
York the result is somewhat mixed so far as
the State ticket is concerned. Gen. Carr,
the Republican Secretary of State, gets in
by handsome majority, but Hustled, Re-
publican, is defeated for Treasurer by Max
well, Democrat, by an equally decisive ma
jOrity. Up to the 1lth both
parties were claiming the balance
OF the ticket. The Democrats have secured
majority in both houses OF the Legislature.
AstOr, Republican, is defeated by Flower,
Democrat, in the Eleventh Congressional
District, and in the Ninth District, Hardy,
Democrat, defeats Thomas Murphy, Re-
publican. In Pennsylvania the Republicans
elect Bailey Treasurer by plurality Of some
5000 over Noble, Democrat. Wolfe, Inde-
pendent Republican, pollcd large vote, but
it is believed to have been drawn about
equally from both parties. In Virginia the
ReadjuSters have elected their candidate fol
Governor (Cameron) by some 10000
plurality, and have an undisputcd ma.
iority in both houses OF the Legis.
islature. In Wisconsin the Democrats have
made large gains, owing somewhat to the
Prohibition vote, but the Republican STATE
ticket is probably elected, by an es
timated plurality of some 300
or 5000 In New Jersey the Legis
latufe remains Republican by reduced
majority, and the same is true OF Connecti
cut. The Democratic majority in Missis
sippi is estimated at from 10000 to 80, 900
In Massachusetts,, Minnesota and Nebrask
the Republican tickets were elected by tn
usual majorities on a light vote. In Mary
land the Republicans have made some gain
in the Legislature, but not enough to b
made effective.

Another Cut.

Chicago, 1.-THE passenger war which
has broken out in the east on west
bound traffic, although not quite so
open here, is none the less hot and deter
mined. One general passenger agent of
a prominent trunk line said it was use
less to deny all the facts which the whole
world would know tomorrow, that pas
senger rates were being furiously cut and
that it would soon BIZ aquestion of not how
much the road could get, but how much
money the applicant had. In his opinion
it would not be strange il passengers
could, before the end of the week, 60 to
New York for $5,
New York, 1.-THE Tribune: The
railroad freight and passenger war con-
tinues, and is the hardest on east bound
grain, which is being taken at merely
nominal rates. Eastern passenger rates
to the west are reduced from % to 80 per
cent. There is no apparent effort making
to arrest the rapid decentralization, and
the end Of the conflict is believed to be 8
long ways off. The pool commissioner
is unsblej or unwilling to exercise his
power to stop the struggle. Tickets to
Chicago $15, to Cincinnati $1,000.
Schedule fares $23 and Sl8; scalpe-s sell
even lower. In fact the people may pay
their own price.

To hear the angels sing.
Still Though the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfur!ed;
And still their heavenly music fioats
Ger all the weary world:
Above its sad and iowly plains
They bend on towering wing.
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
Bat with the woes OF sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two Thousand years OF wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
Oh, hush thy noise. yc men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!

Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow.

Come swiftly on the wing;
Oa, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For 10. the days are hastcnins on,
by prophet-bards fOrctoid,
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splcndOrs fling,
And tho whole world send back the song
