By the Presiuent.
JAS. G. BLAINR.
Secretary Of State.

Since the suppression OF the re-
bclIion and the removal of the only
serious obstacles to a harmonious
union of the States by the abolition
of slavery, there has been most
manifest want of elevated and ell.
larged statesmanehip and in the
control and direction of our national
affairs. The most essensial princi-
pie in the administration Of popu-
lar government seems to have been
lost sight of and to have been sup
planted by the machinery of party
10 subordinate the political action
of the people of the Southern
States, and thus make them trlbu-
tary to the supremacy Of the party
in power, engrossed the chief atten'
ton of the party leaders during tho
eight years of General Grants ad-
ministration, whose labors culml-
mated in the notorious returning
boards constituted in the Southern
States to control the election re-
turns, and sending Of an army into
some Of those States at the time OF
the Presidential election to protect
those boards in the discharge Of
their peculiar functions. And fully
as great an offense against the prin-
ciples of good government was
committed in establishing the ne
larious partizan system of Repub-
lican supervisors OF elections and
deputy marshals to corrupt and
control the elections Of the people.
This Republican party mas been
in control SO long that its leaders
seem to exult in the wantonness OF
power, and 10 be destitute of all just
sense of fidelity to the great trusts
in their hands. With them the
rights of the minority are nothing,
The one idea of power, of certifying
themselves in its possession, and OF
holding to it at all hazards, has
taken possession of them and alb
serbs ali their mind and attention.

Outside Of the election OF a president
pro tempore the actual work OF the
Senate was not heavy and little Of It
was necessary. Politically the Demo-
Gratis came out ahead. Their conduct
was decent, manly aud consistent,
while the Republicans added largely 10
their well-earnedreputation Of sacritic~
ing any political principle, however
sacred Or how long adhered to, for the
sake of a temporary party success and
a better hold upon patronage and
power.

A PROCLA NATION,

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 tho changing
course of the seasons, and to return
solemn thanks to the all-giving source
from whom they flow; and although
at this period, when the falling Leaf
admonishes us that the time of our
sacred duty is at hand, our nation
still lies in the shadow Of great be-
reavement, and the mourning which
has filled our hearts still finds Its sor-
rowful expression toward the God be-
fore whom we but lately bowed in
grief and supplication, yet the count
less benefits which have showered
upon US during the past twelve
months call for our fervent gratitude,
aud make it fitting that we should
rejoice with thankfulness that the
Lord in His infinite mercy has most
signally favored our country and our
people. Peace without and pros
perity within have been youchsafed
40 us: no pesillence has visited our
shores; the abundant privileges Of
freedom which our fathers left US in
their wisdom are still our increasing
heritage, and if in parts of our vast
domain some affection has visited our
brethren In their forest homes, yet
even this calamity has been tempered
and 10 a manner sanctifed by the
generous compassion for the sufferers
which has been called forth thrOughr
out our land. For all these things it
is meet that the voice Of the nation
should go up to God IN devout HON
age.
Wherefore |. Chester A. Arthur,
President Of the United States, do
recommend that all the people oh
serve Thursday, the oath day of
November instant, as a day Of nation
al thanksgiving and prayer, by ceas-
ing so far as may. from their secular
lab rs, and meeting in their several
places Of worship, there to join in
ascriblng honor and praise to Almighty
God, whose goodness has been s.
manifest in our history and in our
lives, and offering earnest prayers that
his bountiss may Continue to us and
to our children.
In witness whereof | have herounlo
set my hand aud caused the seal of
United States 10 be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this 4th day of
November, in the year of our Lord
SSl, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
sixth.

LOOKOUT FOR THE METEoRs As
tronomers predict bright meteoric
showers on the 18th, 10Th and goth

phendmena will be between midnight
and morning; In the east. after 8
o'clock in tho evening, the planet
Jupiter and Saturn will be conspiCn-
Gus. Jupiter cannot fail to be recog"
nized, Tor it is by far the most brill
liant object in the sky except the
moon. To the right CT it and higher
up from the horizon, Saturn will be
seen fainter than Jupiter. Mars rises
late, and towards dawn Venus comes

ifty cents on the dollar II was organized
bythe election OF the officers Of last winter.
The members are teticent NOthingin the
proceedings to-day indicate that action will
be taken on the bond question. II Is known
that an attempt will be made 70 have the
legislature adjourn without considering the
question at all.
There Is also a disposition TO iise up
the time OF the session In general legisla-
lion, congressional fe-districting,. and other
matters and thus defeat the bond question.

be no other candidate.

England, and declaring that while both
nations fully recognized the Porte's rights
Of suzerainty, they would not tolerate any
manifestation likely to endanger the inaI-
ence and rights engaged by the two powers
In the financial administration Of Egypt.
The English andFrench Diplomatic agents,
at Cairo, were also requested to use influence
for fastening the departure Of the mission,

take until the regular session 70 consider
all but the nominations 10 fill small places,
The impression among the Republican
Senators issthat the new Cabinet will be
made up completely when Secretary
Window retires. Even the western sena,
tors admit that the Treasury portfolio will
go to New York.
Senator Logan says that there is no truth
in the report that he will nominate Davis,
Of Illinois, for President OF the Senate to
displace Bayard. Mr.. Logan intimated that
he might vote for Davis II somebody else
should nominate him, f..H
Senators Cameron, Of Pennsylvania,
Saunders, Logan, Plat, Cameron, Of Wis
consin, Van WyCk and Sherman and three
or four members OF Congress called upon
President Arthur this morning.
II Is generally believed that at least two
Cabinet changes will be announced when
the Senate convenes tomorrow, the retir-
ing members being Secretary Window and
Attorney-General McYeagh.
II is known that the President has upon
his table above a hundred nominations to
be sent to the Senate, and the general i'm
preston this morning is that the final ad-
journment will be possible in two or three
days.
It is understood that Guiteau will be ar
raigned tomorrow for trial.
Ex-senator Conkling left for New York
to-day.
Secretary Window states that no intima-
ton has been given him as to who his sue.
cessor would be, and AttoFney-G General
Mac Veagh says his retirement will not In
any way embarass the President. He re-
gafded his tenure OF office at an end when
President Garfield died. 4
The position David Davis will continue
to be independent He will not vote to
displace BayaFd, nor will he refrain from
voting In order to allow It, He will not
consent to be elected President Of the
Senate by either party. This will be his
attitude during the session, and he will
doubtless vote for Republican ut the reg.
ular session in December.
Malone visited the President this even
ing. lie isquite assured ofthesuCCess OF his
ticket in Virginia, He says that Jorgen-
sons flop to the Ilcadjusters Is due 10 the
fact that he found himself alone among
Republicans In opposition to fusion. He
says not three hundred Republicans will
vote for the Fnnder candidate and esti-
mates the majority for Cameron at $1,000.
Very little interest Is taken in the Ohio
election news. Few politicians visited the
newspaper offices TO inquire.
Folger is the only name mentioned to-
night In connection with the Treasury.
The President has so far appointed, with
out questions, all persons recommended by
GaFiiell'a cabinet and he has now In hands
