Thanksgiving Proelamation---Gov. JAR
Wis Proclaims Nov. 9th as a Day
of Thanksgiving and Prayer.

STATE OF North CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Our Holy Religion teaches US to
look upon our Heavenly Father as
the author and giver Of all good.
Our faith in this religion has led to
the sacred custom Of setting apart
days Of Thanksgiving and Prayer.
In conformity to this custom, sane
toned by law, [ Thomas J. Jarvis,
Governor Of North Carolina, do is
sue this my proclamation, setting
apart Thursday November 9th, inst
as day of Thanksgiving and Pray
er, and [ do invoke all to observe the
day as becomes a God-fearing, christ
lap people. Let it. be truly a day o1
Thanksgiving and Prayer. Let all
places Of secular business and labor
be closed, and the places Of public
worship opened. Let all who can
attend these places Of worship and
join in songs Of praise and thanks
giving to Almighty God for the
manifold mercies and blessings
vouchsafed to US. From every
fireside and family altar, from
grateful hearts everywhere, let our
prayers go up to the Throne OF
Grace for a continuance Of these
mercies and blessings.
The same religion which teaches
us to give thanks for what we re-
ceive, commands us to feed the poor,
comfort the widow, and protect the
orphan. On this appointed day of
Thanksgiving, let us remember with
suitable gifts the wants Of the poor
and needy, the widow and orphan.
And l do make special appeal to the
generosity Of our people, in behalf
of the Oxford Orphan Asylum.
This noble charity, as best it can,
fills the place Of mother and father
to the orphan children Of the State.
Let our donations to this charity be
equal to the needs of the children,
and Heaven will bless them and us.
Done at our city Of Raleigh, this
eighteenth day Of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-four and in the
year Of American Independence the
one hundred and ninth.

Red Tape.

America may justly be condemn
ed for her off-hand rough-and-tum-
BILE way Of doing things, and her
reckless disregard for the refining
amenities Of her social life, but from
the custom in high life Of courting
and getting married by proxy, and
being compelled to get the consent
of all the magnates in realm, civic
and spiritual, we earnestly pray,
"Good Lord deliver us It is thus:
A son Of a Duke becomes engag-
ed to lady Of rank, asks his fathers
consent to marry her, is referred to
the Marquis Of Lorne as head Of the
house, who III turn refers him to the
Queen, his mother-in-law. The
Queen refers him to her brother-in-
law, the Duke of Coberg, but the
Duke says Berlin is the place and
Emperor William is the man to de-
eide it. To the Emperor he goes,
who tells him that Prince Bismark
alone is wise enough for such things.
Applicant sends in his credentials,
asks an interview. when the bluff
old Prince says: "Why should the
matter require any decision Of mine?
What have we to do with the Duke
Of Argyle or with his son? If the
young fellow wants to marry, lett
him do so. and be hanged to him.

The Negroes DeIusion.

EUFAULA, ALA. Nov. 13.-Long's
Hotel block, the upper portion Of
which occupied as the hotel, while
beneath it were the twelve best
stores in the place was burned on
Wednesday, with 200 bales Of cotton
lying in front Of it, involving a loss.
OF 100000, ON which there is an
insurance Of S65, 900. The guests of
the hotel narrowly escaped death.
The flames originated In pile Of
shavings which had been saturated
with kerosene and placed beneath
a. stairway in the interior of the
building almost undoubtedly the
&c negro, and another evidence
Of the dangerous excitement exist
ing among this race since the cleo
ton Of Cleveland. In addition to
the recent Palatka, Florida confag-
ration there have been several other
smaller fires which are directly
traceable to similar cause.
A feeling Of more or less uneasi-
ness has been engendered among the
whites throughout the South in con-
sequence. A very large proportion
Of the negroes cannot be disimbued
of the idea that Cleveland's inaugu-
ration means the re-establishment Of
slavery. Some Of the blacks have
asked their employers to buy them
and their families. When the feel
ing first manifested itself the whites
paid no attention to it. Now that
its seriousness is beginning to be
seen, efforts are making in nearly
every Southern town to counteract
it. Several city councils have
adopted and had published resolu-
tions explaining to the negroes that
their civil rights are in no way en-
dangered and that their school facil-
tiles will not be in the least curtail-
ed, which is another Of their appre-
tensions. Acting upon the oppor-
tunity offered unprincipled white
men are travelling through some Of
the unfrequented portions Of the
South receiving money from ignor-
ant blacks for papers drawn up in
legal form, in which they profess to
deed them perpetual liberty.
While this state of affrirs will
probably die out before bloodshed
results the situation is far from
pleasant. 1t has already cost over
81 ,O00,000 in this part of the South,
as exempiifed in the Palatka and
this confagrations.

considering the loss by fN bolt of
the Independent Repuhf fsans and
the far larger loss from til ?tio.l.ef
the Republican Ere xlle
wonder, at first sight, Is that The
Democrats did not carry the State
by larger majority, as confidently
expected they would. This result
was prevented by the great acces-
sions to the Republican ranks Of
Irish and Irish-Americans voters and
working men Of all classes, who sus-
tanned me because Of my advocacy
Of protective tariff. They believe
and believe wisely, that free trade
would reduce their wages"
"You really think then," queried
the reporter, that you got a con-
siderable Irish vote in New York? 2"
ooh, [ had thousands upon thou
sands replied Mr.. Blaine, "and
should have had more but for the
intolerant and utterly improper re-
mark Of DR.. Burchard, which was
quoted everywhere to my prejudice,
and in many places attributed to
myself, though it was in the highest
degree distasteful and offensive to
me. But a lie, you know travels
very fast, and there was not time
before, the election to overtake and
correct that one, and SO | suffer
ed for it,

Blaine if he thought the Prohibi-
tionists were honest in their support
Of st. John.

Of them the assurance that my cam
didacy made their actions difficult,
because they really wanted to- vote
for me, but they seemed to bsssndera
the strange delusion thaseels- tenn
perance cause could be promoted by
supporting their own Presidential
ticket, and by their course they in
huenced prejudicially national issues
which were really at stake.
"According to numerous letters I
have received from Central and
Western New York, it would seem
that the rainy day lessoned the Re-
publican vote. Great political bat
ties, are often lost OF won by an ap-
parently trivial inc;den or accident
which no human foresight can guard
against
Mr.. Blaine seems to be in perfect
health and, as far as any one could
judge, in the best Of spirits. He
told me that his long tour Of forty
two days on the stump had not in
the least degree fatigued him.

old Eagle Tavern. Squire Copcute

when he was gathered to his fathers,
his daughter Ann Jemima succeeded
to the keys Of the cellar.
