S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGS. SER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. OFFIUCLAL. By the President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION Almigbty God, our Heavenly Father, has been pleased to vonchsafe to us as a people, anotber year of that National life which is an indispensable condition of peace, securi:y and Progress. That year bas moreover been con- ected with many peculiar blessings. The civil war that so recently closed gmong us has not been anywhere reopened. vention has ceased to excite alarmor appre- sension. Intrusive pestilence has been benign- ly mitigated. Domestic tranquility has im- proved. Sentiments of conciliation have large- ly prevailed ,and affections of loyalty and pa- triotsm baye been widely renewed. Our fields have yielded quite abundantly. Oar mining industry has been richly rewarded. and we have been allowed to extend our rail- road system far inte the interior recesses of tae country, while our commerce has resumed its customary activity in foreign seas. These great National Blessings demand a national acknowledgement. Now, therefore, l, ANDREW JoHNSON, Presi- dent of the United States, do hereby recom- mend that Thursday, the twenty-nin.« day of j November next, be set apart and be observed everywhere in the several Staves and Terri- tories of the United States by the people there- of, as a day of Thankegiving and Praise to Almighty God, with due remembrance that in His temple doth every man speak of His honor- J recommend aijso that, on the same solemn oc- easion, they do humbly and devoutly implore Him ‘to grant to our National Councils and to our whole prople that divine wisdom which alone can lead any nation into the ways of all good. In offering these national thanksgivings, praises, and supplications, we have the divine assurance tha: the Lord remainech a King forever. Them that are meek shall He guide in judgment, and such as are gentle shall He learn bis way. The Lord shall give strength to His people, and the Lora shall give to His people the biessing of peace. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at. the Gity of Washington, this eighth day of October, in the year of {t. §.y our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty. of the ninety-first. ANDREW JouNson. By the President Wittia™ H. Sewarp, Secretary of State. toce- THE ELECTIONS TO-DAY. Great interest is felt in the result of the im- portant elections totake place to-day, and we therefore give considerable space to figures and data usefalas matter of reference. The elections to take place to-day are in Pennsylya- nia, Ubio, Indiana and Iowa. The vote in Pennsylvania for the past few years bas been as follow: 1-60. Lincola’s majority teense ecee es GIS I>62. Slenker, Auditor General, (bemo- ) majority. Governor, 52k sees By 1563 (Republican,) 15,335 I-4. Lincola’s majority i-65. Hartranft, Auditor Genera! publican,) majority. . It thus appears that in js the Democrats overcame a Kepublican majority of nearly sixty thousand of two years before, and elected their canaidate for Auditor Genera! by a ma- jority of over three thousand Since 152 the Kepublicans have each year carried the State by & small majority. General Geary, the present candidate, in addition to haying & good war record. is personally very popular, where. | as bis opponent was known through the war | Ss a Peace Democrat. In i the whole yot= of the State for President was 473,442: in 1=64 | for President. 572,70. being an increase in four years of about 1,00). We may safely es- timate the vote to-day, therefore, at full 60,000, asthe contest bas been & very animated one. Such being the case, and the Republican ms- jority last year being but 22,000, the result is necessarily in doubt. The Conservatives have made an active campaign, and hope to gain, At least, some of the gtessional Districts. The present Congressional deiegation ot Pennsylvania stands sixteen Republicans to eight Democrats. The following are the names of the candidares to be voted for to-day, those of the present members being printed in italics: dnt. Radical. Conservative. 1. Edw'd C. Knight, Samuel J.

Two years ago the Republicans carried the } fifth. fourteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth distriets by small majorities.

The ablicaus carried the Fourth, Seventh and Tenth Districts by small majorities two years ago, V oorhies, Democrat, received a cer- tificate of election in the Seventh District, but was unseated on the ground of iliegal voting. The Gonservatives bope to gain the 34, 4th, 7th, Sh, 9th and 10th Districts, and are giving Speaker Colfax a pretty sharp con:est. As his Majority in "64 was 1,650 1 31.635 votes, he will doubtless be re-elected. The First and Second Districts, now repre. sented by Democrats, are so strongly Conserva- tive that the Radicals camnot hope to change their complexion. lows. Since 1860 the elections in lowa have resulted 8s follows: 1560. Lincoln’s majority.......... se--- ++ 15,298 1362. Wright, Secretary of State (Repab- lican) majority........... 1963. Stone (Governor) Republican 1864. Lancolm ................ 3071 1565. Stone (Giovernor) about. 20,000 it will thus be seen that lowa has uniformly gone Kepublican for the past five years. Her resent delegation in consists of six erublicans. The following are the candidates 15,115, 29,513 in the pending election : Dist. . Conservative. 1. Jas. Wilson, Gen. Fitz H. Warren. 2.

The Conservatives have made judicious nominations of Union Generais, and others standing well with the people, and have fair prcespect of gaining some of these districts. The total vote in 1860 was 128.331; 1m 1962, 116,913; 1563, 135,883, and in 1864, 139,671. The ‘yote this year will probably toach 150,000. ‘Tae ConcGRressionaL Vore rm 1964.

The Republicans cannot hope w overcome the large Democratic majorities of aboat two thousand in the two districts, Bow held by the latter. On the contrary, lose two or three districts which were secured by very small majorities two years ago. In i360 the total vote of the State was 442.441; in 1861, 470,772, It will probably be not far from 485,000 Ubis year. INDIANA. The vote in Indiana for the past few years bas been as follows: #60 Lineoin’s majority over all 152. Democratic ma, 1863. The Republicans eer year ot 1663. us appears that the Republicans tn- creared their majority in four years from five to twenty thousand. ¥ prior to 1980 the State ‘was strongly Democratic, and in 1862 the mili- tary reverses which caused the to sw the States of New York, Peansylvania ikewise deprived the L defrauding the Government. In justice to ald be stated that his friends here aver that he can show his entire innocence of the charges against him, and they allege that the reports unfavorable to him afloat in this commupity are due to ill-will caused by his professional succeas,and to his having exposed the attempted frauds of others upon the Gor- ernment.

We trust these recommendations, so devoutly made, and couched in such fitting terms, will be generally adopted, and that for one day at least the bitterness and acrimony of party strife will cease, and our peoplé unitein re- turning thanks to the Giver of all Good for His favor to us a8'a nation, whereby their hearts may be softened, and divine cnarity reassert it¥dominion, EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY, The President has directed the pardon of the foliowing persons:—James Towers, convicted at the December term, 1865, of the U.

Gen- eral Brice replied that he was not cognizant of sny charges against him, and Mr. Lows enthal, wih his counsel, then proceeded to the Criminal Court room, when inquiry wa made as to whether any charge had been preferred, and Mr. 1. proffered bail to ap- pear at any time, bet no charge hsving been made, the Court declined to act- He then proceeded to the office of Ma- jor Richards, Superintendent of Police, and entered into recognizance to appear at any time to answer any charges that may be brought against him. ‘Thus far there would seem to be not a parti- cle of foundation fur the extraordinary acca- sations made egainst Mr. Lowenthai in the New Orleacs dispatch. His prompt appear- ance bere to answer to them is certainly the best proot possible of his entire Innocence.

A LOCAL NEWS. —-¢———— Tue GreT ConcERT HumpuG—Editor Star - Ihave been making some inqajries in regard to the prices of real estate advertised as the leading prizes in theGrand GiftConcert of Hall, Morse & Co., and have to say that with one ex- ception they have not purchased a toot of the ground so advertised. The Econ prize, the @18,000 house and lot, on H street, has not only never been in their bp reagan bat they declined its purchase. Yet they keep this piece ot property and the others, to which they have no title, prominently paraded in their list of prizes. This is a matter for the serious consideration of ticket holders, wao have purehased in good faith, and solely upon the strength of the real estate prizes, having Bo faith in “gift concert jewelry.” 1 assert erases that with the single exception ofa jot purchased from Ma: ‘an Boren, they bave not acquired the title to an inch of the real estate announced by them in their list of prizes. I would suggest that the ticket-bolders demand the exhibition of the title deeds to the Property before the drawing comes off. TICKET-HOLDER. Judge Fisher.—Yes' '. R. H.
