WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The follow
ing proclamation was issued today:
By the President ofMe United State
of .Amer1ca.-A Proclamation.-The
American people have always abundant
cause to be thankful to Almighty God
whose watchful care and guiding hand
have been manifest in every stage of
Of the national existence, guarding and
protecting them in time Of peril, and
safely leading them in the hour Of
darkness and of danger.
1t is fitting and proper that nation
thus favored should on one day of every
year. for that purpose especially ap-
pointed, publicly acknowledge the
goodness of God, and return thanks to
Him for all His gracious gifts.
Therefore l, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent Of the United States of America,
do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the twenty sixth day of No
vember instant, as day of public
thanksgiving and prayer, and do invoke
the observance of the same by all the
people of the land.
On that day let all secular business
be suspended, and let the people as
semble in their usual places of worship
and with prayer and songs of praise,
devoutly testify their gratitude to the
Giver of every good and perfect gift for
all that He has done for US in the year
that has passed; for our preservation as
a united nation, and for our deliverance
from the shock and danger of political
CONFUSION; for the blessings of peace,
and for our safety and quiet while wars
and rumors of wars have agitated and
afflicted other nations of the earth; for
our security against the SOURCE of pes

And let there also be on the day thus

and strengthen the bonds of kindly

we give thanks and enjoy the comforts
which have crowned our lives that
truly grateful hearts are inclined to
deeds of charity, and that a kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the poor
will double the pleasures of our condi-

wa
analysis of the Prohibition Vote cast at
the late election in this county and we
have noticed a very marked circum-
stance and have drawn a conclusion.
In one district there was not single
vote cast for the Prohibition ticket; in
another district, but single candidate
received any votes and he received but
two; in one district there was but one
ballot cast, while in several others there
were but few.
Now, it happens to be a fact, that
these districts are those which in 1880
voted against License" while in ev-
cry instance the heaviest votes were
cast IN districts which to-day have
"License."
These are the facts which we have
noted it requires nothing more than to
state them to prove them.
The conclusions which We have
drawn are, first, that the number Of
men in Frederick County, who have
sufficient faith in Temperance by Leg
islation to lead them to forego other
political opinions, is not large. Sec
ond, that there are Temperance men in
the comfy in those districts wherein
Temperance by Legislation remains as
yet untried, IN number largely dispro-
portionate to the districts in which it
has been tried.
Third, that the Giro umstances noted
lead naturally to the conclusion that
four years of experience in Local Op.
ton districts has rendered Temperance
by Legislation odious.
We believe that we assert no unreas
onble thing when we say that there are
as many temperance men in Mechan-
icstown district as there are in Emmts.
burg district, in fact, under the COM
monty asserted circumstance that as
between the two great political parties,
the Prohibition vote always damages
the Republican party, there should
have been more votes cast in this dis
trict than in Enmitsburg. Without
assuming the truth or falsity Of this
view, we see but one reason why eight
times as many should vote the Prohibi.
ton ticket in Emmitsburg district as
here and that is, that Local Option is
as yet theory in that district, while
here it's practical workings have brought
it into distavor and while the temper
ance people of Emmitsburg view it
with favor our people no longer see any
virtue in it,
Assuming, however, that the conclu-
eions that we have drawn are erroneous
and that the popularity Of the late Pro-
hibition Vote yet remains to be proper.
ly accounted for, 1t will afford US an
uncommon pleasure to receive all ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that the License
districts cast the heavy and the Local
Option districts the light vote for Pro-
hibition and which explanation will at
the same time demonstrate the fact that
Local Option yet retains character in
Local Option districts.

On Friday afternoon we left William
ston for the land Of Goshen, or in other
words the home Of Mr.. Malcolm Erwin
and arrived in sight Of the broad Saluda
before sunset in time to see Mr.. Erwin's
Jersey COWS and ruddy Devons. We
think he could get up a pretty extensive
stock show on his own account. We
had most enjoyable visit, music and
song caused the hours to fly on fairy
wingsand here it was that ''happy go

ing up cat-like on the elevator at the mill,
he fell, from under the caves and vet
sustained no injury, except that his hands
were badly lacerated. That no was so
slightly injured after such terrible fall
seems almost miraculous. We must
not forget to mention the crowning glory
of this trip, and that was seeing and
holding in our hands our great grand
mothers set Of China, from over the
sea. the quaint little coffee cups, the
queer little tea cups. the dainty sugar
bowl. tho pretty square bread plates, all
in pink and gold. There in one house
were representatives Of four generations
and the fifth represented by that prec-
ious set of China. We can now account
for cxtravagant ycarning in this particu-

toned manliness and firmness, whatever
strength he possesses come from his
father, an essentially self-made man and
lifelong Unionist of the most declared
type.
And lastly, who were Smalrs grand
father and great grandfather We
would have to go to Congo, possibly, to
get his ancestry. Now what is true of
this generation was strikingly true of
former generations Of great men of the
State.
Calhoun himself was a scion of n
plain Scotch-1rish stock, that had moth.
ing to do with the great names Of cclo-
nial period. Mr.. Calhoun was essen
TALLY plantation man. He never lived
in a city in his life, save when at Wash
ington.
Now as to all Carolina sneezing when
Calhoun took "snuf," it is too we'll
known for denial that some of the
greatest men Of tho State were opposed
to Calhoun's views, us were Colonel
William Drayton, Judge Huger, Judge
O'Nealc, James L. Petigru, Waddy
Thompson, b. F. Perry and many others
we could name.
Now to show the nonsense of this
talk about "too much regard for names
and birth in South Carolina" let any
man at all familiar with the history of
the State call the names o; the most
distinguished men in South Carolina
familiar to the popular ear for a
generation or SO before the war. It will
be seen that four out Of five of our great
men came out Of the plainest stock,
whilst some of the greatest of them
literally had no ancestral reckonings
whatever.
What is the matter in South Carolina
to-day then? Simply this: That the
Ne'cs and Courier wants the people
to snceze whenever it opens its snu6k
bOc.
1t would seem that there is school
Of would-be leaders in tho State who
would take pleasure in sending to the
rear men in any way connected with the
past history Of the commonwealth so as
to make room for themselves. This the
people Of South Carolina will never
consent to 80 long as the sons Of the
State are South Carolinians or South
Carolina is herself.-Colum6ia Regis

Col John G. Haskell, of this city, who
is the attorney Of Williams, Black &c Co.,
of New York, and represents both that
firm and j. NJ. Ivy & Co., of Rock Hill,
in the matter of the assignment made
by the latter, has given me the inside
facts of the cage.
Col HaskclIksays that Col. j. NJ. Ivy,
who owned the whole interest in his
firm, has been very i'll, and his physi;
clans having informed him that his only
hope of life lay in retiring Immediately
from business. he concluded to make
the assignment. Col. Haskell was called
from the White Sulphur Springs early
last week 10 confer with F. w. Williams
Of the New York firm and Col. Ivy,
and remained at Rock Hill from Tues
day until Saturday. It was by his
advice that the assignment vas made a.
short cut to Col. Ivy's affairs. Will
liams, Black & Co. own fve-sixths Of
the claims against, tho firm or about
$195, 900. The other debts, to the amount
or about $4,000, are for the most part
secured by collatcrals.
On Saturday business was stopped
and an assignment was made to Mr.. F.
w. Williams; of Williams, Black & Co.
When this action was agreed upon the
New York firm was telegraphed to stop
payments. and this is the reason that
the paper Of ivy & Go. was protested.
Col. Haskell says that the firm was SOL:
vent aud will in the opinion Of Col. Ivy.
and his assignee, have surplus after
paying all debts. The nominal assets.
are considerably in excess Of the liabili-
ties and consist Of very valuable real
estate in York, Lancaster and Sumter
counties and securities and good paper
Of various kinds. The assignment was
made without preference. and it is be-,
ltcved that the payment of creditors is
only matter Of time.
Col. Ivy was sole partner in the arm
I
Of j. M. Ivy & Cos cotton buyers and
bankers and collectors, doing also large
fertilizer business. Hc was the head Of
the firm of Ivy 4 Fewell, large dealers
| in general merchandise. Col. Ivy
owned and operated twelve plantations
was also large owner Of Rock Hiliresl
estate, = considerable stockholder In tho
Rock Hill faerory and the owner sof the.
Rock Hill Herald. Col. Haskell says
that the firm At the time Of the assign
ment had good credit, and that the
payment Of its drafts was stopped only
after the assignment had boen sgreed
upon. He returned 70 Rock H y
