Proclamation for Thanksgiving Day.
By the President of the United States of America
—A proclamation : It lias long been the pious cus
tom of our people, with the closing of the year, to
look back upon the blessings brought to them in
the changing course of the seasons, and to return
solemn thanks to the All Giving Source 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 a great bereavement, and the mourn
ing which has filled our hearts, still finds its sor
rowful expression toward the God before whom
we but lately bowed in grief and supplication.
Yet the countless benefits which have showered
upon us during the past twelve months call for our
fervent gratitude, and make it fitting that we
should rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord in
His infinite mercy has most signally favored our
country and our people. Peace without and pros
perity within have been vouchsafed to us. No
pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant
privileges ef freedom, which our fathers left us in
their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage.
And if, in parts of our vast domain, some affliction
has visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet
even this calamity has been tempered and iu a man
ner sanctified by the generous compassion for the
suffers which lias been called forth throughout our
land. For all these things it is meet that the veice
of the nation should go up to God in devout hom
age. Wherefore I, Ghester A. Arthur, President
of the United States, do rccomined that all the peo
ple observe Thursday, the24th day of November,
inst., as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer,
by ceasing so far as may be, from their secular la
bors and meeting in their several places of worship,
there to join in ascribing honor and praise to Al
mighty God, whose goodness has been so manifold
in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest
prayers tlmt ills bounties may continue to us and
to our children.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this fourth day
®f November, in the year of our Lord 1881, and of
the independence of the United States, 106.
[Signed] CHKSTER A. ARTHUR.

Thanksgiving.
Governor Iloyt issued his Thanksgiv
ing proclamation Friday afternoon. It is
as follows:
In the name and by the authority of the Com
monwevlth of Pennsylvania, Henry Jlf. Hoyt, Gov
ernor of mid Commonwealth:
A PROCLAMATION :—During a season of drought
and partial fa !, v-" of'be harvests, which in a less
fruitful laud would have brought famine and dis
tress, and in a ti.u of public trial and tribulation,
which under less h >py institutions might have led
to dissension an 1-• rife, the people of the United
States and particularly of Pennsylvania, have been
preserved in health, in estate and in peace.
Now, therefore, I, Henry M. Iloyt, Governor of
Pennsylvania, do ordain and set apart Thursday,
November 24th. A. D. 1881, (being the day appoint
ed by the President of the United States), for the
observance of those religious services, recognizing
the beneficence and care of the Father of us all, and
those household customs, strengthening the bonds
of families and common brotherhood, in which the
line honored traditions of the Commonwealth have
been embodied in thanksgiving and prayer of a
grateful pople.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
State at Ilarrisburg, this tenth day ot
[L. S.] November, in the year of our Lord 1881
and of the Commonwealth the 106 th.
(Signed) HENRY M. IIOYT,
Governor.

An important question has just been
decided by the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case of the appeal of
J.JB. Stark of Wilkesßarre from the de
cision of the District Court at Williams
port. The suit involved a matter of some
eighteen thousand dollars, the plaintiff
being the Second National Bank of
Wilkesßarre. Mr. Stark had endorsed
certain notes and the drawee having fail
ed, proceedings were instituted against
the endorser who in defense alleged usu
ry on the part of the plaintiff. The judg
ment ot the District Court was against
Mr. Stark on the ground that a charge of
usury could not be maintained against
Natioual Banks in Pennsylvania under the
30th section of the National Banking
Act, as many of the State banks had the
right to issue currency under their char
ters and to charge discount rates ranging
from 7 to 10 per cent, and in some cases
even more than this. The judgmeut of
District Court has now been allirmed by
the highest court of appeal. The ques
tion is similar to that involved in the
case of Tiffany vs. the National Bank of
Missouri. It contains a principle of great
importance to business men generally and
establishes the fact that he who contracts
witli a National Bank for a high rate of in
terest cannot escape the obligation by rais
ing the question of usury.
The Independent Hepublicans are
organizing in good earnest. At a
meeting held in Philadelphia,on Wednes
day, a large number of prominent gentle
men from various parts of the State
gave in their adhesion to the reform
movment who supported Baily during
the past campaign. In this meeting
Congressman Bayne said that in plain
terms the ogamzation meant the v
throw of the Cameron dynasty.
