THANKSGIVING.

WASHINGTON, Nov, THE president
has issued the followingtproclamation:
It 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
return solemn thanks to the all giving
source from whom they flow. and although
at this period. when the falling leaf admon-
shes Us that the time of our sacred duty is
at hand, our nation still Ii IS IN the shadow
of a great bereavement, and the mourning
which has filed our hearts still finds sor-
rowful expression toward God, before
whom we but lately bowed in grief and
suDplication Yet the countless benefits
which have been showered upon us during
the past twelve months call for our ferYent
gratitude and make it fitting that we
should rejoice with thankfulness that the
Lord in his infinite mercy has most sig
nally favored our country and our
people Peace without and prosper
ity within have been vouchsafed to US.
No pestilence has visited our shores.
The abundant privilege of freedom
which our fathers left rs in their
wisdom are still our heritage and if in the
hearts of our vast domain some affiiction
has visited our brethren in their forest
temporary and in manner sanctifed by
generous compassion for the sufferers
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 devout homage. Wherefore, |
Chester A. Arthur, President Of the United
States. do recommend that all the people
observe Thursday. the 24th day of Novem-
ber, instant, as day of national thanks
giving and prayer, by ceasiIg SO far as
NAV be from their secular labors and meet
ing in their several places of worship,
there to join in ascribing honor and prayer
to Almighty God, whose goodness has been
so manifest in our history and In our lives.
and offering earnest prayers that his boun-
ties NAV continue to US and to our chill
dren. In witness whereof etc,
CHESTER A. ARTHUR, President,
Jas. G. BLAINE, Secretary.

EIPpERsS CASE.

GALVESTON, Nov. SIN the Flipper
case yesterday the defence endeavored to
show the treatment of L. s. Flipper while
in the guard house CELL and his close con
hnement in the guard house. Col. Shafter
was prompted by spirit not warranted
by the customs of the army. The court
objected to this mode of examination, on
the ground that it had nothing to do with
the offense, if any was committed, and it
was not within his province to mitigate
punishment The objection was Withdrawn
finally. Col Sh&fter stated before relieving
Flipper from the conmissary department
that he thought him perfectly honest and
of good habits, and If money had been
stolen it had been by some one else. He
further stated that in the previous invesi
CATION of Flipper's administration he had
given entire satisfaction. On the 10th OF
August, F1ipper was seen in town with a
horse and saddle bag, possibly preparatory
TO a journey. Flipper was ordered
back Immediately to turn over his
funds ON hand. Within two or three min
utes after entering hisquarters, 50, 600 were
found in his desk ready for delivery. He
could not say whether it was in his saddle
bags when last seen or not; learned since
that he generally kept puplic money in his
quarters instead Of the office safe. He had
ALWAYS examined accounts weekly unless
absent

There was therefore necessity for filing
information. Otherwise the statute of
limitations would have been effectual to
prevent prosecution. Cook then pro-
ceeded TO argue that conviction in this case
would not render the accused infamous and
therefore the position of the defense on
that ground could not be maintained In
session of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, that TO make crime
infamous the penalty must pronounce
against the offender the deprivation of his
civil rights, not his privileges, and in the
absence of such forfeiture the crime was
not infamous unless expressly pronounced
as such.
Ex-Secretary Window referring to the
alleged difference of opinion between the
President and Attorney General MacVeagh
at the Cabinet meeting, says that while he
does not think it proper for him to discuss
the nature of the business transacted at
that meeting, he has no hesitation in say
ing that the published account of the pro-
ceedings is entirely unfounded. Nothing
occurred that would warrant the assertion
that there was any exhibition Of i'll feeling
on the part of either gentleman. The
questions nnder consideration were discus
sed in the most friendly spirit, without
excitement or disagreement and no per-
sona1 criticisms were made by any one
The meeting was perfectly harmonious.
