of the Atlanta Exposition, invited
Sherman to visit that city on the
anniversary Of his burning it six
teen years ago. Sherman was

them that if Sherman was to be en-

The chief Importance of the election,
however, concerned the Senatorship,

Lamar is certain to be reelected by
the Legislature just chosen. He was
opposed by part OF the democrats as

WAsHINGToN, Nov. Z.
The following proclamation was is-
sued from the Department of State
to~day:
By the President of the United States
of America:
PROCLAMATION.
1t has long been 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 fallen leaf admonishes
us that the time of our sacred duty is
at hand, our nation still lies in the
shadow OF great bereavement and
mourning which has filled our hearts,
still fiads its sorrowful expression to.
ward the God before whom we but
lately bowed in grief and supplication.
vet the countless benefits which have
been showered upon US during the past
II months call for oar fervent graft
tude. and 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 prosperity within
have been vouchsafed to us. No pesti
ierce has visited our shores. The abun>
dant 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 t:eir forest
homes, yet even this calamity has been
tempered and in a manner sanctifed
by the generous compassion for suffer-
ers which has been called forth through>
out our land. For ali these things it is
meet that the voice of the nation should
go up to God in devout homage.
Wherefore, l, Chester A. Arthur,
President of the United States, do rec
ommend that all people observe Thurs
day. the twenty-fourth day of Novem-
Der, instant. IS day of national thanks
giving and prayer. by caasing. so far as
may be, from their secular labors, and
meeting in the several places fer wor,
ship, there to join in ascribing honor
and praise to Almighty God, whose
goodness has been SO manifest in our
history, and in our lives, and offering
earnest prayer that His bounties may
continue to us and to our children.
In witness whereof, [ have her,unto
set NY hand and caused the seal of the
Unit I'd States to be affixed.

THE United States should de-
clare at once that no canal or ship
railway across the Isthmus shall be
built unless under American protec-
ton and control. A resolution to
that effect has been reported to the
Senate, and if the Senators would
settle the quarrel over the New York
Custom House bone it would prob
ably pass. 1t is feared in some
quarters that the passage of the res
olution would excite ridicule in
Europe. 1t is matter of indiffer-
ence to Americans how much ridicule
is excited so long as we are able to
make good our assertions, and while
there is little doubt that we are, at
present, it would be well to know if
we are not. The assertion of the
Monroe doctrine as applied to the
management and protection of the
Isthmian canal would bring on an
issue, and either peacefully or with
bloodshed it is probable that the
United States would maintain its
position. If unable so to do we
would then know wherein we are
lacking, and perhaps our political
leaders might be willing to devote
some time and labor TO improving
the army and navy, instead OF fight
ing over the spoils of office.
