Augusta. Monday Morning, Jan. 10.
New Senators.


This is great year for Senatorial cleo
lions and changes in the composition of
the Senate. Twenty-four United States
Senators will take their seats at the be-
ginning Of a six-year term the 4th of next
March, and twenty Of them are to be
elected this month. The Legislatures Of
twenty States have begun their Winter
sessions since last Monday morning. and
i've more will convene this week. Twen-
ty-6ve Of the thirty-eight States Of the
Union will thus be simultaneously dis
quieted by the turbulence of their law
makers. The work of making twenty
United States Senators. concerning which
the interest of the people is so great and
the anxiety Of many aspiring candidates
il 80 intense. will begin tomorrow
(Tuesiay,) Jan. II. when the first ballot
will occur in California for successor to
Senator Booth in Nevada for a successor
TO Senator Sharon; in Ohio for substitute
for Gen. Garfield a. successor to Senator
Thurman, and in Tennessee for success
sor TO Senator Bailey. A week later. (Jan.
49, successors to Senator Eaton of Con-
necticut; Senator Bayard. Of Delaware
Senator Jones, Of Florida; Senator Me-
Donald, of Indiana; Senator Hamlin, OF
Maine Senator Dawes. of Massachusetts !;
Senator Baldwin Of Michigan; Senator
Mcmillan. OF Minnesota; Senator Cock
rell, of Missouri; Senator Paddock. Of
Nebraska Senator Herman, Of New York
Senator Wallace, Of Pennsylvania. and
Senator Maxcy, OF Texas, will be chosen.
The election of thirteen Senators will
make the third week Of January one Of
excitementto politicians. although the cleo
ton Of Gen. Hawley in Connecticut. Mr.
Hale in Maine, and Mr.. Conger in Michi-
gan, the reelection of Senator Bayard in
Delaware are so certain that those States
will be more quiet than the others. The
choice of the Legislature of the Empire
State" says the New York Mail. sis I'M
doubtedly awaited with more anxiety than
that of any other State. The third
batch of Senators will he turned out dur
ing the last week of January. making sue
cessors for Senator Randolph of New
Jersey; Senator Hereford of West Virgin
10. and Senator Cameron. of Wisconsin
Twelve Of the retiring Senator'S are dem
ocrais. and their party will feel great
sadness when its actual loss in the Senate
through the twenty elections Of the month
Is recorded. Besides the States enumer-
ated. Maryland. Rhode Island. Vermont
and Virginia furnish each Senator who
will begin term Of six years the 4th OF
next March. As no Senators will be cho-
sen in 1882. this may be regarded as a
great Senatorial year. reckoning all the
twenty-io gentlemen who are to begin
a term in March rs part Of the New Years
crop. To republicans. the crop will be
more satisfactory than was expected last
October"

who is keeping school in Manchester, was
arraigned for assault upon Rosa A. Cottle,
one of his pupils. The teacher had estab-
lished a rule that there should be no wits.
pering in the school-room without permission.
Miss Cottle violated this regulation. and the
pedagogue punished her by striking her on
the hand several times with chair round.
Judge True considered the matter, and de-
cided that the pupil wilfully disobeyed a sal.
utary law made in the interest of order, and
the teacher was justified in asserting proper
authority

THANKSGIVING.
To take place on the Gath Inst.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE following
proclamation is issued from the Depart.
ment of State today:
By the President Of the United States Of America
A proclamation: II 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 chang
ing 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 ad-
monishes that the time of our sacred
duty is at hand, our nation, still lies in
the shadow Of great bereavement and
mourning which has filed our hearts
and which still find its sorrowful express
ion toward the God before whom we but
lately bowed in grief and supplication
yet the countless benefits which have
showered upon us during the past 12
months call for our fervent gratitude,
and make it fitting that we should re-
joice with thankfulness that the Lord
IN His infinite mercy has most signally
favored our country and our people.
Peace without and prosperity within,
have been vouchsafed tous No pesti-
lence has visited our shores The abund-
ant 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 affiiction has
visited our brethren in their forest
homes, yet even this calamity has been
tempered, and in a manner sanctified,
by the 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;
I. Chester A. Arthur, President of the
United States, do recommend that all
the people observe Thursday, the Gath
day of November, inst, as day of Ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer, by ceas-
ing so far as may be from their secular
labors and meeting in their several places
Of worship, there to join in ascribing
honor and praise to Almighty God, whose
fondness has been so manifest in our
history and in our lives and offering ear
nest prayers that His bounties may con-
tinue to US and to our children.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
fourth day of November, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-one, and the independence
of the United States, one hundred and
six.
[Signed. CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
