By the resident of. the Untied Sola of
Arneri&i. Proclamation: . -It
has long been a pious custom oi
our people, with the closing of the year,
to lok back upon the blessings brought
to them ia the changing course of the
seasons, and to return-solemn thankj
h. ail.irivin source Xrom whom
they flow; and although at this period,
'ne9u II istcbw Un nsedjbt the pur- cent specutore.
for the further purpose cf ruining the
characters of gentlemen by their iata-
mous neighbors. , At this time, J. A.,
who is so "disposed.Tand who. is
a member ' of Uheigtand 1 jury; can
hT-(3r FmeguboT and a man
irlom- he does not'iike, indicted for a
crime that -G. F. neter thought of; and
when tne lauen ieai m"T M th enemies of G F. can twe this
that the Ume ot our taered duty to at LTrjr vf- u
hand, onr niLtion still lies in the shadowi record for e purpose of putting him
of a threat bereayement, ana tne raourn- i aown. . Ana(i itto no objj aamage
the t defendant, G. F., but is, also.used
against hwfhildren. Our plan is: let
these parties come into open cuurt and
file their complaint, and the defendant
can then and there, on the preliminary
examination,, prore. that he ; is. not
gniltT, or be bound over, should' there
be sufficient evidence !o show probable
cause of gnilt.. . -..'iV- j
fairs of the criminalcourt will not only
be of benefit in a moral'stand point, but
will sate! thousands of dollars to the
Counties. , The expense oi the, courts
would be decreased at least one-half
the grand juries.themsel res. would be
disposed-of with all.the .witnesses, and
the many delays to the- court.; When
ihe court convenes the ' Sol'citor could
and would have hid complaints ready
to' file, the witnesses summoned and the
court would proceed at once to busi
ness, and the long winded charge of the
Judge would not be at all necessary, f.
, A criminal . court conducted in the
above manner would saye two-thirds of
the time that is now consumed by them.
Life is too short , to spend time in a
useless way. . -: ;L
log which kas filled our hearts auu
finds sorrowful expression toward the
God before whom we but lately bowed
in grief and supplication; yet the count
less benefits which have showered upon
us duringJthe pasiitwelye months call
for our-fervent gratitude . and make it
fitting that we should rejoice with
thankfulness that the Lord in his in
finite mercy has most signally ; favored
our. country and, our people. Peace
, without and prosperity within have
been vouchsafed to' us; no pestilence
has, visited our shores; the abundant
-privileges of freedom which our fathers
left us in their wisdom are still our in
creasing heritage. If in the heart of
our vast domain some affliction has
visited our, brethren in their forest
homes, yet even this calamity has been
tempered and in a manner sanctified by
the generous compassion for the suffer
ers which has been called forth through
out our land. For all these things it
is meet that the voice, of, the ' nation
should go up to God in devout homageL
, Wherefore I, Chester: A. Arthur,
President of the a United States,' do re
commend that all the people observe
Thursday, the 24th day of November,
instant, as a day of national thanks
giving and prayer, by ceasing, so far as
- 'they may, from their secularlabors and
meeting in their several places of wor
ship, there to join in ascribing honor
and praise to Almighty God, whose
goodness has been so manifest in our
history and in pur lives, and offering
earnest prayer that his -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 4th day of
November, in the year of our Lord one!

Chester A. Arthur.
-: By the President:
Jas. Q. Blaine, Secretary of Stat
1 ;UOOTlNQ NEGROES.
. .We have been for years telling the
white people of the south that the time
would come when the colored people
in self defence and self respect would
assert their manhood by punishipg the
men who were in the habit of going for
negroes like rabbits. And it turns out
that at the election in Mississippi they
have concluded to strike back. Where
the law. will not protect a people we
believe they should protect themselves,"
We publish; an address of Bishop I and from Tall the reports which are
tv.uooa. aeuverea m, .bcgiana, o
President J. A. Garfield, which shoul
be read by our patrons.
Tke Hod. James G. Baine's letter has
bseu so universally criticised, both ait
home and abroad, that we publish it in
another column, in full, in order thai
our readers may have the ' 111 benefit
ot it. ; r "-,:;"
There will be one Judge of the Si
preme Court to elect next year, and
four Superior Court Judges. We nave
bound to be reliable from the fact that
the reports come through the violators
themselves, the white people of Miss
issippi have; killed upwards of one
thousand colored people in the past ten
years.. And at last these' poor people
have turned on their enemies and the
white people who are killed can only
blame themselves for the result. We
publish below the telegrams concerning
Meridian, November 8. Four white
men - were killed and two severely
wounded by negroes to-day at Marion
been abolished in some of them; When
therefore, Mr. Ingersoll talks about the
sacred - right of being indicted by a
grand jury, we can fancy how keenly
he enjoys the joke and the indignation
which he excites in the minds of inno-
"Fnailyfaidlnsr
says the : reporter, he
ban terinr tone, and -spoke
solemnly, emphasizing his remarks with
blows upon the table), "hnauy, u it
please the court, I shall insist that in
this country, or any other country Sax
on blood gives evidence of liberty and;
manhood. The grand " jury 'stands
between the citizen and his calumniaT
tor, no matter if that calumniator is
an officer of the Cabinet or Preaiden of
the United States. ;;
This sentiment was loudly applaud
ed, the audience being evidently ereatly
impressed with Mr. Ingersoll's manner,
and the laughter which had greeted his
previous remarks being hushed. Yet it
strikes us funny, rather than impres
sive. . Think of a grand jury "standing
between a citizen and his calumniator"
when the special business of a grand
j jury 19 to give effect to a calumniator's
story by acting upon it if it , be prima
facie plausible, and refusing- to hear
any witness on the other sidelwho shall
prove the story to be a lie! This is in
deed a bulwark of liberty. How, too,
about Saxon blood alone giving a man
the sacred right of a grand jury! Does
not an American citizen of African de
scent, or any other descent, have the
same sacred rights? Let Kobert be care-
lui just here. - I
? The District Attorney has filed in
formation against Brady and some oth
ers, accusing them of criminal practi
ces. They can show their innocence
just asconclusiVely under the accusa
tion thus made as 'though it were made
by a grand jury. Let them do it then;
and have done with ' technicalities.
The court may quash the information
on the technical objection raised by
counsel, but it will only prolong I the
agony, and the way to make the people
believe the star route men; innocent is
for them to prove it in open court, land
not by avoiding responsibility through
a quibble of law,; info- Ocean. . v
We are glad to see so able a paper as
the Chicago Inter' Ocean outspoken
against the infamous grand j ary 'custom.
It has been used in this sate aa a means
of killing offpolitical rivals by jurors and
solicitors. A.juror has had andr still
has it in his powe? to get a true bill
against a gentleman when there s not
a particle of evidence to prove his guilt.
After the bill is found, it ,is the custom
to hold the case off and use it in (news
papers and on the stump against the
the defendant.' We know a case now
in which a cowardly solicitor tried to
have a gentleman indicted for 'the ex
press purpose of ruining him political
ly.Vfad
certain lawyers were in the con
spiracy. ' '
Now is the time, ia this enlightened
age to remove, this disgraceful custom.
Let the solicitor file his complaint in
open court, and try the defendant. , If
there is no evidence the case talis thro'
as it should, and one of the most Infa
mous blots on bur present ' inslitulions
will be removed.'

THE COLORllD FAIRJ
We take it that the Industrial Expo

closed at Raleigh last Friday, ishould
be a source of much pride to every one
of that race in this state; and, indeed,
no .little gratification to every true
hearted JS or th1 Carolinian, regardless
of color. As near as we are aware the
colored race of this state have been the
first to inaugurate such exhibitions of
workmanship and artizanship among
that people, and this mere fact' should
be a ' lasting rebuke to those northern
editors who have asserted that (the pe

limits to freight and passenger charges;
the general government to lake charge
of alt the telegraph lines in the country,
and the appointment by the legislature,

Let It roaf take up the cry of a&U

Issued by the Executive Committee,
so-called, of the anti-proMbilioa patty.
It la namby-pamby, foollah and absurdly
egotistical. I The Stvbernia opposed
prohibition with all its might ana main;
it did so upoa principle, believing that
tne prohibition Jaw was a blow aimed
at the liberties, rights sod privilrg of
tha citaxent; we considered it the first
link 4a the chia of rr.!tTaiant; we
fought it bitterly, we Laui it success
fully to the end. When the votes were
counted la Asgust last our connection
then with tha aati-prohibition party
ceased, because the 1mu whkb calied
it into existence was dead, bsrird and
tamed to duf; ahould it by say hocus
