Oct., 31.--The follow, lug proclamation was issued to-day by the President of the United States of ^iwrica: "At no period in their hi story/since the United States become a nation^ has tliis people had so abundant and so universal reasons for Joy} and grati­ tude at the favor of Almighty God. or hern subject to so profound an obliga­ tion to give thanks for His loving kind­ ness. and humbly to implore His con­ tinued care and protection. Health, wealth and prosperity throughout all oar borders; peace, honor and prosper­ ity with all the world; lirm and faith­ ful adherence by the great body of our "population to the principles of liberty and justice, which have made our great* ness a- a nation, and to the wise insti- tions and strong frame of Govern­ ment and society which will .perpetu­ ate It. For all tlie«e let the thanks of a happy and united people, as with one voice, ascend in devout homage.to the Giver of all good. "I therefore recommend that on Thursday, the 25th day Vol November nest, the people meet in their respec­ tive places of worship to make the acknowledgment to Almighty God for His bountiesand His protection, and to offer prayer for their continuance, **In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the sealof the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington this 1st day of November, in the year of onr Lord, one thousand eight hun­ dred and eighty, and of the independ­ ence of the United States the one hundred and fifth. R. B. HAVES. By the President: WM. It, EVARTS. Secretary of State." ' , Hod Throwing* til his sermon on the Presidential campaign, Sunday, Mr. Talmage called attention to the pusillanimous attacks made upon Presidential candidates.-- "Washington was the subject of vitupe­ ration by Tom Paine, both the Adagns were maiigned. Andrew Jackson was caricatured as receiving the sceptre from 9atan. Martin Van Buren was pictured as a rat, Henry Clay was de­ clared a libertine, gambler and mur­ derer. and Abraham Lincoln did not escape calumny. And the vituperations which have beeir poured forth upon the head of General Garfield has never been exceeded. It is a fortunate fact that political vituperation cannot in- | jure a worthy man. It is always im-j potent, except to blacken the names j Jersey comes the clear ringing notes of those who give it birth. This is a j of a Republican victory. The people country of free speech, and every man's j have spoken and they utter no unce re­ words are weijglied In the balance by j . . . „ . , ... , , , , * I tain sound.

Folical mud throwing Is to be regret. ted, not so much for any injury ft can do the victims of assault, but as an in- j dlcation of the existence of a base eie- ! ineiitin society. The filth which oozes from the lips of slanderers is the discharge from the sores of society. Fortunately there is health enough in society to finally expel disease from Ita system, but the recovery will be etow.and the signs »f disease will long he visible. There is no external force to prevent a man fram becoming a Owl thrower, but he who stoops to spreading calumny should do so with the knowledge that, iu Presidentia campaigns at least, originators of lieH are the)' who sufler most from them in the estimation of the people. tQFDuring an excursion to the White Mountains, made in July. 1879* Mr. W. H. Pickering visited a moving mass of snow in Tuckerman ravine, which he describes as presenting many of the phenomena of an Alpine glacier, only on a greatly reduced scale. The surface of the sno-v was convex, being highest at the middle; where not ex­ posed to the sun it was very hard, and differed from ice onltfiu color. Stones previously placed upon the surface of the patch showed that the middle had a motion" of about eight inches per day. the sides moving more slowly.-- In Mr. Pickering's opinion, it corres­ ponds with the upper portion of a glacier, atfd might, perhaps, be called an Indolent irlaeier. ... Tuesday last was a glorious day for the Republican Party, and a complete Waterloo for the Democracy. From every Northern State except New more BARGAINS --FOR THE PEOPLE Assistant Postmaster General Brady reports that on June 30, 1880. the end of the fiscal year, the postal rarvlce embraced 1.118 railroad routes, afe an aggregate cost of 910,498,986.-- The expense for transportation over 9,863 "Star service" routes aggregating 215,248 miles for the entire year was •7.821.449. The rapid settlement of the West has greatly Increased the de­ mand for.larger postal facilities. Calls are constantly made-for the establish­ ment of new postal routes over rail- ds and public roads. ~ J®-There is danger that there may f ' be an unhappy break of the long intcr- mission of wars and rumors of wars on our Indian frontier. The utipro- voked killing of a Ute Indian by a ^'hite freighter and the surrender of Wr Hie murderer to the Indians by the | t Indian agent has excited an outcry in fj. . Colorado which threatens the outbreak r of hostilities on both fides. We have |i Not a clear statement of tlie facts, but | It seems as if, as has so often been the || case, the greed and ungoverned pas- **** sions of lawless white m?n were again to set the unprotected frontier into a |v blaze, and just at the time wlien there •£ - was a hopeful prospect of the peaceful jjft; settlement of the disputed questions between the Utes and our Government, i The Triennial General Convention of the Episcopal Church, now in session , In New York, has ably discussed the question of securing from the Govern- rtientthe full protection of the civil law for tlie Indians west of the Miss­ issippi, and has appointed an influen­ tial committee to endeavor to secure legislation for this purpose. •sroid Ike--•'Hanner.-tlld you eb- r uotlS dar w'en I gives j*W half a dollar ter buy ha'rpins wid. you snatch­ es Ht It-Hkc a dog snappir' at fifes. an1 w*en you hau's it to de dry goods st«»* «-h>rk you duz it wid yer thunr an* to'flusfer. like you was a gibhin' him a rn»p to pot in his we«kct ? 1 seed do mo'n once in de New Yawk &***'. ami de 'fust t'ing dat firm k'u*ws «Kv'li cl««rk, an* I'll git ii»teV Electortal Votes, thirty-seven than are necessary for a choice.

It is glory enough for one day and every lover of his country has good reason to rejoice at the result. The campaign just closed has indeed been a remarkable one. The prelimin­ aries of the great ba'ttle were clos­ ed on Monday night and on Tues­ day morning the two great con­ tending armies stood ready for the contest. Mothers, sisters, and wives prayed as they prayed when the news came of a dead one loved arid fallen whose life went out in defence of country and dear oi»es. The busy hum of spindles, the nolBe and bustle of (ens of thousands of prosperous industries ceased for a time as a fittingWitness of their exalted estimate of the free­ man's highest privilege. the casting of a ballot with a freeman's responsibility to country and to God. The dark spirits of error were all summoned as of old and marshaled into the ranks of the confederacy. The flood gates ot calumny had fa* opened, the boss liar of the Nation had done his best. Forgers, calumnia­ tors and the old devil himself all com­ bined to urge the people of this great land to admit that they made a mis­ take in fulling down and worshipping tlie true God during four years of bit­ ter war, instead of paying homage to Jeff Davis' golden calf, tlie Southern Confederacy, represented now by Han­ cock, weighing two hundred and fifty pounds or more. But the die is cast, and victory is ours. Tlie fate of the Confederacy is sealed. Democracy, sepulchered by the popular will, must sleep betide the forgers, liars, calumni­ ators. bull-dozers and night-riders, and over their common sepulchre must be written an epitaph--Died, because not fit to live Harper'* Young People.
