It has lonp been tho 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 re
turn solemn thanks t the all-giving
Bource from whom they flow. And
although at this period when the
falling leaf admonishes us that the
time of our sacred duty is at hand,
our nation still lies in the shadow
of the great bcreavt-mentand mourn
ing which has filled our hearts, frtill
finds us. hopeful expression toward
the God before whom we lately
bowed in grief and supplication, yet
tho countless benefits which have
showered upon us during the past
twelve mouths call for our fervent
gratitude, and make it fitting that
we should rejoice with thankfulness
that the Lord iu His infinite mercy
has signally favored our country and
people. Peace without and pros
perity within has been vouchsafed
to us. No pestilence has visited our
shores. The abundant privileges of
freedom which our fathers left iu
their wisdom are still our increasing
heritage, and if -in parts of the vast
domain some afflictions have visited
our brethren in their forest home?,
yet even this calamity has been tem
pered in a manner sanctified by the
generous compassion for the suf
ferers which has been called through
out our country. For all these
things it is meet that the voice of
the nation should go up to God in
fervent homage.
Wherefore, I, Chester A. Arthur,
President of tho United States, do
recommend that all people observe
the 24th day of November inst., as a
day of national thanksgiving and
prayer, by ceasing 60 far as maybe
from their secular labors and meet
ing in their several places of wor
ship, there to join iu asserting honor
and praise to Altnily God, whoep
goodness haB been so manifest iu
our history and cur lives, and offer
ing earnest prayers that his bounties
may continue to us and to our chil
dren. In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand aud caused
the great seal of the United
States to bo afllxed. Dune at
tlin r.itv of AVasliinirton. this
l. s. seventh day of November, in
the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and
eighty one, and of the inde
pendence of the United State

cution one hundred witnesses are on

From all accounts Chicago, tho
metropolis of tho west, has grown
during the past summer at a rate
unknown oven to that wonderful
city. Near tho confer of tho conti
nent, she draws her sustenance from
all quarters of tho compass. Myriads
of smaller cities, towns, villages and
hamlets look to her for their market,
and pay her tho tribute of their sur
plus dollars. Chicago, as she is a
surprise to the outsido world, is
scarcely a less surprise to her own
citizens. Her growth may rightly
be ranked as among tho world's
wonders, and the supreme influence
of her spirit of improvement perme
ates, as sunlight the solar system,
tho whole of this western region.
Depcudent upon this region, the
commercial life and condition of the
city may be taken as tho business
barometer of the west, judging by
which token there never have been
more prosperous times.
At Washington City the criminal
court on tho morning of the 10th
inst., rendered a decision in the star
route cases discussing principally
the question as to the infamy of tho
crime charged. The conclusion ar
rived at was the crime was infamous
and the accused should have beeu
proceeded against by indictment.
He therefore sustained the motion
expelling information from files of
the court, and ordered discharge of
defendants. This result has created
much excitement at Washington
City aud throughout the country
for tho roasou that tho public be
lieve, whether justly or otherwise,
that some neglect on the part of of
ficials had entered into the prepar
ation of the star route cases. Public
opinion appears to run to the con
clusion that the presont decision
will be au effectual bar to any futuro
prosecution of the cases, and es
pecially tho opinion is expressed
that the failure of the government is
final as regards Brady. .
