At no period' in their history since the Unitea States became a nation, has this people had so abundant and so -universar reasons for joy and gratitude at the favor of Almighty God, and been subject to so profound obligation to give thanks for his loving kindness, and humbly to implore his continued care and protection. Health, wealth, and prosperity throughout our borders peace, honor, and friendship with all the world; firm and faithful adherence by the great body of our population to the principles of liberty aud justice, which has made our -greatness as a nar tion, and tothe wise institutions- and strong form of government and socie ty which will perpetuate- it, for all these the thanks of a happy aud united people, as with one voice, ascend in de vout homage to the giver of all good. Therefore, T recommend that on Thurs day, the 25th day of November, next, the jjeople will meet in thefrrespective places of worship to make their ac knowledgments to Almighty God for his bounties andhis protection, and of r to him prayers for their continu ance.

In Ulster county. New York the chairman of the Democratic central committee, under BarnunVs direction, protests against counting Garfield's vote on the ground that thetickets were printed in plain type to a de feated Democrat's eye. That's awful thin, and the vote will be counted all the same. Had the Southern States permitted the Republican party to vote and counted the vote fairly, Garfield would have two-thirds of the popular vote of that section. But under the Demo cratic S3'stefti of obtaining majorities in the South, they make and publish any amount of "popular majority" they please. They now claim only about sixty thousand for Hancock. That is extremely modfest when they could have made it five hundred and sixty thousand just as weir.

The election of Garfield is a protest against the cruelty and intolerence of the South. It ia a demand for the pro tection of the citizen whatever his col or and wherever he may reside. Inter Oceisiu That is the whole matter in a nut shell. For the last four years the peo ple of the 2forth have, weekly,, opened their newspapers and read the stories fof the intolerance of thfr Soutlu-of proscription, intimidation banishment and death for opinion's, sake And at each recurring election they have read the unquestionable evidences of all the devilish methods- resorted to by the Southern Democracy to prevent a free expression- at the ballot box. Thus has been planted and nourished in the North, amongst a people who are shocked at the very fdea of any other system than that of free speech and free, fair elections, a feeling of resent ment, natural and proper, that awaited only the occasion to- administer the rebuke they have in the overwhelming election of Gen. Garfield, who repre sents the party and the Northern idea of toleration and the rights of all men North, South, East and West- This has contributed more toward making the North solid than any other question. The tariff issue w:is only secondary; and State rights is simply another name for Southern intolerence. "Whenever the Southern States shall tolerate any and all political opinions whenever the stalwart Republican of the North shall have the same tolerance and pro tection in the South as the most ram pant fire eater of the South has in the North; and whenever the farmer, me chanic, lawyer, doctor or any citizen of Nebraska, Iowa or Kansas,.are allowed to settle in South Carolina, Mississippi or Louisiana, with free expression of opinion, without dread of dire punish ment therefor, and shall receive such tolerance as the Southerner receives in the most radical of Northern States, then the principal cause of complaint of the North against the South will be removed. The Northern man claims that he has the right to remove to the South and buy or rent land, and become a citizen to all intents and purposes, with all the privileges of making speeches, running for office and voting with any political party he may choose to affiliate even the Republican party and so long as he cannot or dare not do this he realizes that he is deprived of important rights under tha constitu tion and laws of the Nation, and so long as the South persists in denying these common-rights, just so long will he resent the wrong by voting against that section that enforces and perpetu ates the wrong. The North demands its rights, simply it demands; the tol erance of the citizen by the citizen of this Republic, in all rights under the law everywhere, and whenever this glorious time shall come this will be a free and independent Nation in deed and in truth, as well as in theory. The campaign being now over, it will probably be admitted' that Han cock was at Gettysburg and rendered efficient service there. Chicago Times. But Gen. Baxter, of Philadelphia, a man of accredited truth, and who was in a position to know, says he was- not at the battle of Gettysburg, proper or the third day's battle; that he was wounded on the day before, or 2d of July, was confined to the hospital, or his tent on the 3d, so that he did not command his corps. How is all this? The people, who would mot deprive General Hancock of a single laurel, are in doubt. Gen. Slocum has said that Hancock selected the battle ground, all the other Generals who were there say otherwise. "The cam paign being now over, it will probably be admitted" that Hancock did not se lect the ground and that the brave General Meade selected itr and was the rail hero of Gettysburg. It will prob ably bo admitted that too much was claimed for Hancock, and that a loved dead General was robbed of legitimate fame to bolster up the Hancock boom. There has been a singularity in the utterances of the two late candidates for President of tlve United States. Gen. Hancock has written principally what he has had to say. In all lie has said, or written, he "put his foot in it" so to speak, as now admitted by his supporters "With Gen. Garfield it has been just the contrary. He has writ ten but one letter, and that was in re lation to the Morey Letter. That "struck the nail on the head," and has resulted in unfolding and exposing one of the grandest outrages ever perpetra ted. In his short speeches in response to calls "every i has been dotted, and every t crossed," in common parlance! He made no mistakes 1 One of his best short speeches was on the occasion of a call by President Fairchild, the faculty, and five hundred students of Oberlin College, since the election. He closed by saying: "I shall be pleased to have you all pass through my house, and let my roof cover you for a moment" . Judge Briggs is too well known and respected in Omaha to be injured in the least by slush and gush of the great American sunflower. Bee. The "slush aud gush" of the Herald may be hard on the Judge, but the slimy indorsement of the Bee is infi nitely worse. When the Bee praises any Omaha citizen it always creates a suspicion in our mind that the person indorsed is just the reverse of what the Bee says he is. Judge Briggs is, we believe, truly respected in Omaha, but he ought to have abetter witness than Rosewater if it is ever necessary to prove it i i The South Carolina census includes the following townships: Giddy Swamp, Due West, Long Cane.

The World reports that Romero, formerly minis ter of Mexico in the United States-, to night entertained at dinner at Del monico's. Gen. Grant, together with a number of the leading railway men of the United States, including Gould, General Palmer, Coolidge, of Boston. Huntington, Samuel Sloan, Woen shaffer, RusselT Sage, and others and laid before them the question, of rail way communication with Mexico, in a long and elaborate speech, in which he urged American capitalists to come to the assistance of Mexico in developing her means of internal relations. Gen. Grant being called upon by Mr. Rome ro, to express his views, made a lengthy, speech urging cultivation of friendly and commercial relations with Mexi co, and says, that with the building of railroads and telegraphs, there need be no more apprehension, for safety of capital invested there than in our own country. GRAIN EXPORTS. New York, Nov. 11. It is expected that tho total exports of grain from the port of New York for tho year endinsr next January will reach 125,- 000,000 bushels.

A num ber of arrests have also been made in Richmond and other counties, and the dockets of the Circuit Court will be full in April. HOLOCAUST. Bradford, Pa., Nov. 11. A terrible casualty happened last evening near Brown's saw-mill, at Bordell City, twelve miles from here. A number of men were in their boarding-house sitting around the fire; four others had gone to bed up-stairs. As the fire begun to burn low in the stove, one of the men dipped a cupfull of oil from a bucket, at hand and poured it on the coals. The oil remaining in the cup caught fire, aud tlie- person holding- it threw the blazing fire away, and it fell into the bucket. An explosion imme diately followed, .and tho burning fluid scattered all around the room, delug ing the clothing of the men with the flaming oil. The men rushed out en veloped in a sheet of fire, and writhed on the ground in agony. Meanwhile the house burned rapidly; and in the embers were found the charred bodies of the four who were up stairs. Their names are Elliott, Brown, Staley, and Hyde. Of those down stairs Joe Dan nod;, Henry Monroe, Prank Welsh, and another, name unknown, are dead. Fifth one not expected tarecover. DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE. New Orleans, Nov. 11.

Judge Noah Davis rendered his opinion to day to a crowded court room. His de cision was quite lengthy and was at tentively listened to throughout. He pronounced the letter a forgery of the worst kind, and severely censured Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, one of the na tional committeemen of the demo cratic party, for the part he took. He made a lengthy review of the testimony and ordered that the prisoner bo held for trail. The bail was .fixed at $5,000. BURIED ALIVE. Cleveland, O., Nov. 10. Willie Burns, aged six years, and Charley Ze lenka, living in an outlying ward, and not returning home last night, parents, neighbors and police to-day prosecuted a search, which was unavailing until this afternoon, when they noticed a sand bank in the vicinity which pre sented the appearance of having caved. Digging into it the lifeless bodies of the children! were found covered to the depth of three or four feet. The South is solid, thank God! Okolona States. The North is solid, thank God! and TJnlike the South It is Not Too short At both ends !U The Democrats have asserted that while the Republicans had succeeded by fraud, in obtaining sufficient electo ral votes to elect Garfield and Arthur, the popular vote was in favor of Han cock and English. This is not so. The popular majorities, are in favor of Gar field and Arthur by near 82,000. MISSISSIPPI. How Lynch. Has Been CbnntedtOut. From, the Ylcksburg (MJss.) Herald. (Dem.), November 6. The official vote of this county, as counted by the commissioners, Messrs. William French v Luther lleid, and A. S. Butcher, gives the Democratic .elec tors 1,034 votes, and Chalmers, for Con gress, 1,014. The Republican electors have 7.4. votes,, and Lynch,, for Con gress,. 5.7. Two thousand, and fif ty-five votes for Republican electors were re jected, because it was claimed by the commissioners they were not in accord ance with the law,- which says no tick et shall bear a distinguishing mark or device. Two thousand and twenty nine for Lynch and twenty for Chal mers were also thrown out The above report is made from six teen voting precincts, and was finished yesterday, and forwarded to the Secre tary of State at Jackson. Below we have printed copies of the tickets re ceived and rejected, that the people may judge for themselves: Here the JTerald prints an exact copy of tho tickets. Tho above is an exact copy of the ticket that was received by the sworn judges, but thrown out by the com missioners. Now, reader, could you tell, if you had not heard it. why the lower ticket was thrown out? We doubt it. The small printer's dash between the lints is the cause. What do you think, or it i Do you not know that these are not "distinguishing marks." not "devices," but that they are merely used in tho place of stops V Cut out one of these tickets, fold it up, and see if you can see this outrageous distinguishing mark. The work done yesterday is an outrage on fair play, a viplation of tho law, a breach of the Democratic plat form, and, unless it is denounced and disowned, will return to plague this community. The objectionable feature of the ticket or rather the pretext for over riding the will of the majority is a line, or dash rule, between the names of candidates, like this ' And this is taken aa a valid reason for disfranchising a whole congression al district. But a congressional body as at present constituted, will not al low such rascality to prevail, and Lynch will get his seat. ?rL 1 A prominent banker in Omaha, who is behind the scenes and kn6w where of he speaks, says that all ther investi gations of the last legislature, together with the great muss made over the adoption of the code, were inaugurated and kept alive by the railroad crowd in order that the ways and means com mittee might be kept busy and the at tention of the legislature diverted while the robbing tax act was being passed and anti-railroad legislature thwarted. Lincoln Globe. Well den tell! What "prominent banker" is it that knows so much ? Isn't it a good tiling he has lived to tell the tale? Why didn't p. b. say so long age? What if p. b. had died before he di vulged that awful secret? Wonder if he ever told anybody but Eaton or Rosewater? What is p. b. doing behind the scenes, anyhow? How did he got there? Did p. b. sneak .behind the scenes like a thief or is ho there as one of the "crowd." Did p. 'b. act as "capper whilst the other bandits captured the legislature, or what? What is p. b. "who is behind the scene's," doing there? ' What if "a p. b." never said any such thing? What if that is one of the Globe's fictions? Barnum and his committee, who a few days ago threatened to overthrow Garfield's majority in New York, have fizzled out by issuing the following: Whereas. Allegations of fraud in various States, and especially in the State of New York, have been brought to the notice of this committee: llesalced. That this committee has no jurisdiction over a local violation of election laws: but it recommends the several Democratic committees of of the States where those frauds have been committed to investigate them with a view to exposures of violations of law, and their prompt and just punishment. In relation to the duties of courts, or of Congress, in the pre mises, the committee is not and can not be charged with any responsibility. A resolution was also passed tender ing the thanks of the committee to W. H. Bamum (Chairman), to the Advis ory Committee, and to the officers of the committee for the efficient and faithful manner in which they per formed their respective duties. The Republican party heartily in dorses "exposures of violations of law and prompt and just punishment" to persons, regardless of party, who have committed or connived or conspired at fraud. In all such reformatory meas ures the Republicans would be glad to have the sincere and honest co-operation of the Democrats. The Philadelphia Ledger says that Secretary Sherman's letter, which in dicates a preference for the Senate over the Treasury, is attracting serious attention in financial circles. Refer ring to his probable retirement from the Treasury, the Ledger says: It is unnecessary to say that if things were to take that turn the feel ing among the business men here would be one of unfeigned regret, and this, too, apart from all political or party considerations whatsoever. The predominant sentiment is that, so far as the national finances are concerned, nobody, not even the Democrats now, are desirous of a change, and it is be lieved the new President, least of all, would contemplate the Secretary's re tirement with satisfaction. Those who voted the Republican ticket for financial motives voted for -John Sherman. That's pretty certain, and they would feel disappointed if he should go out of the treasury depart ment Another landlord has been shot dead in Ireland.

Highest price paid by Stevenson & Cross SOUTH 0AE0LHTA. Carried by Bare-Paced Fraud. Prom the New York Times. Charleston, S. C, Nov. 8. Almost every return received by Chief Super visor S, T. Poinier from the United States Supervisors of Election contains complaints of fraud, intimidation, vio lence, and munerous other violations of the election laws, practiced by the Democracy to carry the election. For example:. In- Edgefield County the Supervisors and Deputy Marshals were informed that the United States had no control over election, in that region, and they were forcibly prevented from performing their functions In Atken County cannon were planted in the street, opposite polling-places, and Re publicans were not allowed to vote. At precincts in Newberry County Super visors and Deputy Marshals were not allowed to,ente? the rooms where the boxes wese kept, and at one precinct the "red shirt" ruffians rode their horses over- colored Republicans and murdered one. In Marion and Ches terfield Counties, the badges were torn off the United States election officers, and they were, hi several instances, severely beaten. Ia Georgetown the box holding mostly Republican ballots was removed by the Democratic man agers, and one "stuffed" with Demo cratic tickets was substituted. In Kershaw and Greenville Counties boxes, containing large Republican ma jorities, were broken open and thp bal lots destroyed, and in other instances they were carried off and notliing has been heard of them since. In Lancas ter County the Republicans were un ablo to vote, because the express office, at tho county seat, refused to deliver their ballots to the Republican County Chairman. In Barnwell, Anderson, Union, Horry, Chester, Ilamton, Darlington, Orangeburg, and Colleton Counties, many polling precincts at which Re publican majorities were anticipated, were never opened, and various out rages of the classes already named, were perpetrated. Several precincts were also kept closed in this county, and, especially in this city, the most infamous frauds were unblush ingly committed. At the Hope Engine House the Democratic managers drew all but five Republican tickets out of a total of over GOO from the box to equalize the ballots with the poll list. This was also done at other precincts, though to a less extent. At other places the poll-lists of the managers ex ceed those kept by the supervisors many hundreds, to account for fraudu lent Democratic votes, which were counted in every instance. The ballots used bv the Democrats were of the notorious "tissue" pattern, while the Republican tickets were printed on thick paper. It was, therefore, an easy matter to stuff the boxes with the former and draw out the latter to de stroy the disparity between the num ber of ballots and tho names on the poll-lists. At all the polling-places from which United States officers were excluded it was utterly useless for Re publicans to vote, inasmuch as only Democratic ballots were counted. Those chiefly concerned in these frauds and outrages were men appointed by the State authorities to conduct the election and receive the ballots. It was a farce from beginning to end, and the majority depended merely up on the will and dictation of their Bour bon masters. Even the News and Courier feels constrained to say : "With anything like ordinary sense South Car olina is safe. There is a single limita tion. The moral sense of the country must nut be shocked too severely and too often." The full result of the election can not be known until Wednesday. The Election Commissioners will assemble to-morrow to canvass the vote. It is known that in counties which show Rcuublican majorities on the face of the returns they will throw out suffi cient boxes to" elect the Democratic Congressmen, from each district. The advice above quoted is undoubtedly meant for them. Unofficial returns thus far obtained from the Democratic headquarters indicate a desire to keep the Democratic-majority below 40,000. The Democratic canoidates for Con gress will unquestionably obtain cer tificates of election from "the Bourbon canvassers, though Mackey, Lee, and Smalls, if even the votes they received were counted, are entitled to seats from the First. Second, and Fifth districts. The Legislature will, of course, be nine-tenths Democratic. The Hon. D. TCorbin has been retained by tho Re publican candidates to fight these frauds before tho State courts, .but it will require no prophet to foreshadow the result Burdette, of tho llawlceye exclaims: HALLELUJAH ! November 3. I am glad I live in this country. I am glad that this is a white man's government, where an honest negro and decent Chinaman are more respectable than a Caucasian liar and forger. I am glad the people of the United States cannot be hood winked with a uniform coat that measures sixty inches around the waist. I am glad that we know Wade Hampton's address. I am glad that the "man who nominated Hancock" felt proud of it while he had the oppor tunity. I am glad we beat, and I haven't a bit of compassion for tho fallen foe. I am glad he is fallen. I wish he had fallen harder. I hope we will throw him harder next time. I will be glad to sit on him for the next twenty years. I am glad we swept a path clear across the country with him.

The Central City Item of the 3d inst, says the body of a man was found in a groye two miles west of that place, which gave every indication of foul plaj-. Traces of strangulation were evident in the swollen neck and dis colored face, and the body was lying on its-face, with hat, coat and boots off- The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death in a felonious manner by means un known. Tho Item gives the following details: "The body was that of a large, mus cular man, apparently about 35. years of age, brown hair and closely shaved face with the exception of a heavy brown moustache. The deceased was fully six feet high and weighed about -200 pounds. His boots, which were fine toogued calfskin, free from mud or travel stains, and new. Upon one of his little fingers was a large gold ring with garnet set, and with the figure of a man's head engraved there in. The clothes that were found in dicated that the man. whoever he was had been quite wealthy, and other in dications pointed to a gentleman of refinement and education. The body had been dragged some distance from the road, and the theory of those who disinterred the body and examined the locality is that he was murdered by strangulation, and brought tcMhe spot where he was first discovered in some kind of a conveyance. One of the pantaloon pockets was turned inside out and torn down the side. Coroner J. E. Morrill has the ring, boots and a piece of the pantaloons for identification. At the present writ ing tho affair is. shrouded in impene trable mystery, but we have no doubt that more light will be rjirown upon it at an early day."
