THAXKMilUXO PROCLAMATION.
By the President of the United States of America,
a Proclamation .
Prom year to year vve have been accustomed to pause
in our daily pursuits and set apart a time to oiler our
thanks to Almighty God for special blessings he has
vouchsafed to us. with our prayers for a continuance
thereol. We have at this time equal reason to he
thankful for this continued protection, and for ma
terial blessings which llis bounty has bestowed. In
addition to these favors accorded to ns as individuals,
we have ep end occasion to express our hearty thanks
to Almighty God that by His providence and guidance
our Government, established a century ago, has been
enabled to lullill the purpose of its lounders in offering
an asylum to the people of every race, securing civil
and religious liberty to all within her borders, and
meting out to every individual justice and equality
before the law. It is moreover especially our duty to
offer our humble praises to the Father ot all mercies
for the continuance of His divine favor to us as a
nation and as individuals.
By reason m all these considerations, I, Ulysses S.
Grant, President of the United States, do recommend
to the people ot the United States to devote the 30th
day of November next, to an expression of their
thanks and prayers to Almighty God, and laying aside
their daily avocations and all secular occupations, to
assemble hi tlu ir respective places of worship and ob
serve such day as a day of thanksgiving and rest.
(Signed) U. S. GRANT.
Executive Mansion, Washington, I). C.. October
26th, 1ST6.
THE SITUATION.
Never Hid greater interests seem to hang
by so slender a thread. The Presidency of
the great republic and the policy of the
country for four years to come, and possi
bly much 1 mger, hangs upon the result in
Louisiana. It is reasonably sure that Tilden
has secured 184 electoral votes. It is equally
clear an I sure that llayes has secured 179,
and that the result turns upon the count in
Louisiana. If these six votes are cast for
Hayes, he is elected by one majority in the
electoral college.
Till after the canvassing Board meets on
Friday of next week, it will be impossible to
know more than we do to day. Meantime it
is the duty of good men of both parties to
counsel moderation. The situation is one
peculiarly tilled to arouse excitement and
precipitate strife.. If the present complica
tion can be peacefully settled, it will be better
for all, no matter who becomes President by
the settlement. If satisfied that llayes has
been elected by a majority on a fair vote and
honest c nuit, of course we shall insist that
he have the position. If Tilden has been
fairly elected, we want him to hold the po
sition. Though the prosperity and progress
of the country may be retarded in such an
event, we have no fears of any dangerous
legislation coming.to maturity with a House
nearly evenly divided and a Republican Sen
ate. The President recognizing the gravity
of the situation has done well to send troops
to the points of danger. There are such
temptations to use fraud and force, that
nothing seems possible to prevent it except
the presence of such force that would not
leave hope of success to any such attempt.
It would be inliuitely better to have the case
settled early and outside the halls of Con
gress. The country cannot stand this strain
of intense excitement long without working
disastrously on all business interests and pro
ducing bitter dissensions in every community.
It does not seem doubtful to us that, if there
has been anything like a fair vote in Louis
iana, it has gone Republican. We know that
Democratic iutolerence has driven out hun
dreds from the surrounding States of Mis
sissippi, Arkansas, and Texas. The blacks
have felt themselves more secure under the
Republican government of Louisiana. The
same cause drove out every negro who had
any spirit from Georgia into Florida and
South Carolina, and has rendered these States
more strongly and certainly Republican.
Really the only doubt that hangs over the
result in South Carolina, Florida and Louis
iana, is whether the Democrats have suc
ceeded in their schemes of force and fraud to
rob the colored man of the right to vote as he
pleases. Every one knows that the blacks
are in a majority in those States, and that not
one would voluntarily vote for Tilden. The
possibility of Tilden's election secured by
such means ought to make every American
citizen hang his head for shame.
Our Bourbon neighbor accuses the Her
ald of omitting dispatches of Democratic
flavor. Not so. Democrats claim to derive
as much'comfort as do the Republicans from
our telegraphic columns. The news reports
are voluminous. It is impossible to print
them entire. We select those of most inter
est and importance, without regard to their
political bearings. The Independent , we
notice, is more partial, discriminating in favor
offnews of partisan origin and application.
This is in keeping with its past reputation.
It would not hesitate to garble or manufac
ture news matter as heretofore, if in that
way it could subserve its own private or par
tisan purpose. The Herald declines to haz
ard or injure its reputation for integrity by
such disreputable devices. The people, with
out regard to party, look to our columns for
the news, and we never suffer them to be dis
appointed. __
W atei.bur y , (Dem.) for Joint Councilman
from Deer Lodge and Missoula, is probably
elected. His majority in Deer Lodge is liable
to reach 200. Worden, his Republican com
petitor, will carry Missoula county by a hand
some majority, but not large enough, we
think, to overcome the adverse vote in Deer
Lodge.
TELEGRAMS
REPORTED specially for the herald by
WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.
The Closest Election Ever Known.
The Excitement.
New York, N ovember 9. —The excitement
throughout the city relative to the result of
the election is intense. Broadway, from be
low the Astor House to Printing House square,
is crowded with people, and thousands of
newspaper bulletin boards. The excitement
on Wall street among the stockholders was
so great as to seriously interfere with busi
ness. Gold is weak, both because of Hayes
prospects and the reassuring extracts from
the London newspapers.
Washington, November 9.—The excite
ment here is unprecedented and intense, and
large crowds are at ths Newspaper and tele
graph offices. In the Executive Departments
no business is doing. Every one is awaiting
definite returns from any one of the States
regarded as doubtful.
Philadelphia, November 9.—The excite
ment concerning the election is greater to
day than at any previous time, owing to the
prolonged doubt about the result. Crowds
surround all the bulletin boards, and the in
terest is intense.
General RonuiIi*.
New York, Novembers.—At this hour the
newspaper offices are still surrounded by anx
ious, cheering crowds of people, waiting for
the latest returns from Florida, North Caro
lina and Louisiana, which will decide the con
test. Tilden's majority is variously estimated
in New York State, but the best figures put
it at 30,000.
The World, publishes the following estimate
of the electoral vote for Tilden : Alabama,
10 ; Arkansas, 0 ; Connecticut, G ; Delaware,
3 ; Florida, 4 ; Georgia, 11 ; Indiana, 15 ;
Kentucky, 12 ; Maryland, 8 ; Mississippi, 8 ;
Missouri, 15; New Jersey, 9; New York,
35 ; North Carolina, 10 ; Tennessee, 12 ;
Texas, 8: Virginia, 11 ; West Virginia, 5.
Total, 188.
For Hayes : Colorado, 3 ; Illinois, 21 ;
Iowa, 11 ; Kansas, 5; Maine, 7 ; Massachu
setts, 13; Minuesota, 5; Nebraska, 3; New
Hampshire, 5; Ohio, 22; Pennsylvania, 29;
Rhode Island, 4 ; Vermont, 5. Total 133.
Doubtful, 48.
The Tribune believes that everything hangs
on Florida, and that the Republicans have
carried that State, and that the College stands:
Hayes, 185 ; Tilden, 184.
The Tribune8 Washington special says:
The Republicans have probably carried North
Carolina.
The Times declares that Hayes is elected,
giving him 185 votes.
The Herald considers that Florida will de
cide the election, and considers it a doubtful
State.
The 1 imes says that all the Congressional
districts have not been heard from definitely,
but advices received destroy the Democratic
majority in the present House. The indica
tions now are that the Republicans have elec
ted 145 members, and the Democrats 145. In
the present Congress the Republicans have
but 110 members to 183 Democrats. There
is, therefore, a net Republican gain of 73.
All the representatives have now been chosen
except in New Hampshire, which is now rep
resented by one Republican and two Demo
crats, and will elect in March, 1877.
The llerald '» head lines are as follows, and
may be given as an epitome of that paper's
opinions: "Neck and neck. Exciting close
ness of the Presidential struggle. Who is it?
The continental conundrum from Maine to
Oregon. Hayes and Wheeler running to the
front. Tilden, 184; Hayes, 181 ; doubtful,
4. Florida the last post. Is Tilden's election
a snark or a boojurn. The dance of phantom
majority. Will the ghost materialize or miz
zle from exultation to consternation. South
Carolina's title to Republican respect. The
count. The Congressional majority. Un
paralleled excitement in New York."
The somewhat unexpected developments of
yesterday thoroughly aroused the activity of
the betting fraternity, and the scenes at the
different pool rooms last evening were unusu
ally exciting. There was intense feeling
during the afternoon, and as the evening
wore on and no positive news had been ie
ceived, it increased. Morrissey's and John
son's rooms were crowded almost to suffoca
tion. Those whose faith in the strength of
the Democratic candidate had caused them to
offer large odds on him, began to hedge as
rapidly as possible on finding that the result
was doubtful, but there were, notwithstand
ing, many Tildenites who offered $100 to $10
that he would be elected. The offer found
an abundance of takers. While on the night
before the pools generally favored Tilden, last
night there was a marked sense of insecurity
among the betting men at Johnson's. During
the early part of the afternoon Gen. Hayes
sold as high as $30, Tilden's average remain
ing at $100. Considerable betting was done
on the result in the doubtful States, odds be
ing freely offered and taken on both sides.
At Morrissey's pools were sold on the State
elections in South Carolina, Wade Hampton
selling at $100 and Gov. Chamberlain bring
ing from $50 to $75.
The Tribuns says ; We invite the attention
of the whole country to the States of South
Carolina, North Carolina and Oregon. They
are going to settle this Presidential contest,
and it is just possible that the election is not
yet over. We most earnestly deprecate any
tampering with returns in anybody's interest,
and we wish Mr. Magone had not suddenly
left the city last night.
The Suits Washington special says : There
is a Returning Board in South Carolina, as
well as in Louisiana, and Chamberlain and
Patterson are determined that, no matter
what the Democratic majority may be, to
count in their State ticket and declare the
Hayes electors chosen. The same game is to
be played in Florida, if it is possible, and
thus make Louisiana the turning point. There
is undoubtedly grave apprehensions felt here
by the Democrats and decent Republicans
that unless the Democrats carry Wisconsin or
one of the Pacific Coast States, a civil war
may be precipitated by the desperate radical
leaders.
Chicago, November 8.—The Times accepts
it as an established fact that Tilden is elected,
and does not even seriously consider the ques
tion of electoral votes, or entertain an idea of
defeat for Tilden. It confines its editorials
to an examination of Tilden's future course
as President.
The Inter-Ocean is quite as hopeful of suc
cess as the Tribune , and buses its confidence
on the figures already familiar to the whole
country.
The Tribunes special from Jacksonville,
coming from excellent authority, declares
Florida sure for Hayes.
The Tribune's New Orleans special ailirms
that Louisiana is certainly Republican.
The Tribune , after reviewing the changes
in the prospect of the last twenty-four hours,
declares the doubtful States—California, Ore
gon, Nevada, Florida, Louisiana, South Caro
lina and Wisconsin—with a total electioral
vote of 41, have gone or are likely to go Re
publican, and elect Hayes by one majority.
The Democrats concede Oregon and Nevada
to the Republicans.

Topeka, November 8.—The Chairman of
the State Central Committee has returns suffi
cient to show that the State will give Hayes
30.000, and Anthony (Rep) Governor from
15,000 to 20,000. Haskill, (Rep) is elected
in the 2d district to Congress by about 1,000,
a Republican gain. In Shawnee county the
whole Republican ticket is elected.
Later returns show that Hayes has carried
the State by o- er 30,000 maj., aud Anthony
(Rep) for Governor by over 25,000. Three
Republican members of Congress are elected,
which is a gain of one. The Legislature
stands three to one Republican. More Re
publicans are elected on the straight ticket
this year than for a number of years before.
Topeka, November 10.—The official vote
of every county in the State has been counied
to-day. The majority for Hayes will reach
40.000, and that of Anthony, for Governor,
25.000, There arc ouly three Democrats
elected to the State Senate, and two to the
Lower House. Not a county in the State has
given Tilden a majority.

paign songs.
R. C. McCormick, of the National Com
mittee, has just telegraphed to Wikoff, Chair
man of the State Republican Committee, that
Louisiana, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Ore
gon, California and Florida, have all gone
for Hayes, and that North Carolina is uncer
tain.
Columbus, (O.) November 10.—General
Wikoff, Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, furnishes the following informa
tion : The 69 counties heard from up to noon
to-day show a Republican loss of 162 on

Hayes in this State will be from 15,000 to
20,000. Cres8weH's majority for Governor
will be somewhat less. The Legislature will
have a Republican majority of about fifty on
joint-ballot. The Republicans certainly carry

his majority in the State over 30,000.
Returns from Cook county complete ex
cept a few Republican districts, give Hayes,
36,636 ; Tilden, 38,648 ; Cooper, 257 ; Cul

county ticket except Clough for Sheriff ; 552
towns in the State outside of Chicago, give
Hayes, 112,062; Tilden, 91,030; Hayes' ma
jority over 20,000. These towns show an in
crease in the aggregate vote of nearly 50,000
over the vote for President in 1872.
The returns from the Congressional dis
tricts so far received show the election of
Aldrich (Rep) in the 1st ; Harrison (Dem) in
2d ; Brentano (Rep) in 3d ; Lathrop (Rep) in
4th; Burchard (Rep) in 5th; Henderson
(Rep) in 6th ; Fort (Rep) in 8th ; Wilson

in doubt.
Morris (Rep) is elected to Congress in the
10th district, a Republican gain. This is three
in the State.
The only additional Congressional news is
that Tipton (Rep) has carried the 13th dis

State has gone Democratic by 7,000.
Chicago, November 9.—The Tribune*
Washington special, 10 o'clockp. in., says:
A dispatch just received here from New Or

says that the State is so close that official count
is necessary to determine the result, and that
in any event there is a possibility of a seri
ous disturbance. New Orleans goes Demo
cratic bv 9,000 majority.
The Chicago THbune's New Orleans spe
cial 10:35 p. in. says : A prominent planter
of Concordia Parish gives information that
23 negroes w'ere killed at Fayette,near Nachez,
Mi 89 ., on election night. He states that the
atrocity was committed utterly without pro
vocation. The Jackson Clarion recently ad
vised that the enthusiasm of the young men
must not be restrained. The telegraph wires
were cut previous to the massacre. A gen
tleman from St. Martinsville, La., says that
a leading colored man was murdered last Sun
day evening, at Breer Bridge, for expressing
Republican sentiments. An official dispatch
toU. S. Marshal Pieken from Madison Parish,
one of the State Republican strongholds ac
cessible by telegraph, where the vote has
been counted and a Republican majority of
2,150 obtained, states that since the count the
Democrats have seized several of the ballot
boxes, which, with their contents, have been
destroyed. This plan will probably be car
ried out in the Republican strongholds all
ouer the state as soon as the advices are known.
