GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, DEB MOINES, Iowa, To the People of the State of Iowa: Another ear ban paused, with ita re corded trials, victories, reward*, punish ments and blessings. As we review tbem, how manifest are the reasons for thankfulness and praise to God for his wonderful goodness to us. Therefore, and in accordance with the recommendation of the President of the United States, I, Samuel Merril, Oover nor of the State of Iowa, do call upon the people of the State to observe the Thirtieth day of November, instant, as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blesnings he ha* conferred upon UK. He has bountifully rewarded the hus bandman in his labors, and has given us great prosperity as a commonwealth. While the people of our sister States have suffered from the devastations of fearful and almost unprecedented fires, let us return thanks that our people have been spared such calamity, and that we are enabled, through the bounty of the Great Giver of all Good, from our abundance to contribute to the relief of the suffering and needy and while we offer our prayers and praises for the hap piness which we enjoy, let us not forget those whom sorrow and calamity have rendered deserving of our sympathy and aid. IN TRSTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my band h. s. and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed, this 8th day of Nov., A. D. 1871. SAMUEL MERRILL, Governor. By the Governor ED WRIOHT, Secretary of State. A proclamation was issued by the President on Saturday, announcing that, inasmuch as the unlawful combinations iu Union county, South Carolina, have not dispersed, in accordance with his former proclamation, the writ of habeas corjms is suspended in said county. The Supreme Court of Iowa decides that the rule requiring regular and prompt attendance at school is for the good of the pupil. It also says: The good of the whole bchool cannot he sac rificed for the advantage of one pupil who happens to have an unreasonable father and, as the law now is, no other means can be devised for enforcing reg ular and prompt attendance than the penalty of expulsion." GEXEBAL MEWS. In Minnesota, the Republican major ity is over 8,000. In Wisconsin, the Republican State ticket is elected by from 8,000 to 10,000 majority. In New York, the Republican major ity in the State will probably reach at least 20,000. In Illinois, General Beveridge, for Congressraan-at»)arge, has about 20,000 majority—probably more. In Massachusetts, the Republican ma jority is not less than IS,000, notwith standing that three tickets were run in opposition. The California States Prison is filled to repletion, and the California papers are urging the erection of a branch prison. Chicago is promised a public building that will cost $4,000,00(". The Secretarv of the Treasury will make this sugges tion in his annual report to Congress. Last Saturday morning a family of five persons were found murdered in their house near Henryville, Ind. No clue to the rpetrator, and the mystery hanging over the all'air is only equalled by the excitement attending it. Where is Brig ham The Salt Lake Herald of the 12th inst. publishes a letter from St. George relative to the conference there, but not a word in regard to Iirighain Young. This is remarkable, as hitherto every move ment of Brigham when away from that city has been reported daily both by letter and by telegraph. The m?mbers of the Brooklyn Invest (gating committee say they have evi dence shov ing about 4,000 fraudulent votes east. They are sanguine that the canvassers will be compelled to give certificates of election to a majority of the Republican candidates on the county ticket, and all Republican can didate, including the Mayor, on the city ticket. The question of transferring the la* dian Bureau to the War Department will again be agitated at the next ses sion of Congress. The Secretary of War, although satisfied that the matter will be a subject for the President and Cabinet to consider before the assemb ling of Congress, has not as yet decided whether he will allude at length to the proposition in bis annual report to Con gress.

Already the num ber of hogs slaughtered is45,000, agai'ist for the same period la»t year, and 60,921 for the same period in 1S09. The facilities for packing, notwithstanding the great tire, are better than formeily( and the prospects are that the packing of hogs here the present season will be larger than last season." The Massachusetts woman's suffrage association catechised the candidates for governor—on the question of woman sutlrage, and ellicited the following re ply froui John Quiucy Adams, the democratic candidate: ••LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I regret very much that have not the time at my disposal just now to answer appropriate |y and at length your polite letter of enquiry as to my opinions upon 'woman suffrage.' But ou may, perhaps, gather all the information wbieh you require from a bold statement that I aiu, after careful thought and some study, firmly and unequivocally oppos-ed to woman suffrage, and I shall feel it my duty in the very improbably contin gency of my ever occupying any con siderable public office, to stand by the old immemorial division of activities and functions which seems tome to lie At the foundation of society.

The followlug resolutiom were passed by the Board: Resolved, That the Auditor be author­ ized to draw warrants, payable the 1st of February 1872, for the amounts due on contracts for the erection of the Louden bridges, when the work is completed according to contract, and certified to by Mr. Hecht, Bridge Commissioner. Resol"ed, Resolved, That tbe Auditor be in­ structed to draw a warrant In favor of 0. L. Smith for $87,50 for insurance on Court House and Poor House. Resolved, That the Auditor be in­ structed to draw a warrant in favor of B. L. Tower for $235,00 for four cows and four yearlings now ou tbe Poor Farm. Resolved, That the Auditoi be reques ted to draw a warrant in favor of C. A. Pound for the sum of fifteen dollars for services rendered and laying off work for the Louden bridges and also for su perintending the construction of the Moore bridge in Springfield township. Resolved, That tho* County Auditor be required to notify the Township trustees that all persons who are receiv ing aid from the county, who are prop erly county charges, must he s'lit to the County Poor Farm by the 1st of Decem ber, as no allowance will be made by the Board after that date. A petition from the citizens of Red Oak township that an acre of land be deeded by Robert Dallas to the county for a burying ground for the people of Red Oak be now deeded to a corporation of said citizens organized for the pur pose of laying out and properly caring for said ground, was entertained by the Board. The prayer of the petitioners granted, and the Chairman of the Board authorized to deed the property to tbe organization as specified. Titlrs Under Tax Sales. Justice Dillon, of the United States Circuit Court, a few days since rendered an opinion, which is of importance to county officers in this Staue. The suit was brought by A. N. Lancaster, against the County Auditor and Treasurer of Page county: The plaintiff claimed to be the owner of certain lands in Page county which had been sold for taxes in 1864, and for which a deed was given to the purchaser. In 1897 the land was again sold for tax es to James Cal'a* an, Jr. In 1870, the plaintiff'went to the County Auditor's offl*e and offered to redeem the lands from the last sale, but the Auditor re fused to accept the money, on the ground that he was no longer the owner of the land, and the only person who could re deem it, was the holder of the tax deed under the former sale. The suit was brought to redeem the laud, and to en join the Treasurer from making a deed under the last sale. The court held that the plaintiff had the right to redeem that the Auditor had no right to refu-e to issue the re demption certificate and that heshoutd have received the money tendered by the owner of the patent title. The fact that an outstandiug deed existed could not bar the owner from protecting his interest from the inception of a new es tate under the last sale. Tbe OroBvenor Case. The charge of Judge Williams to the Grand Jury last Thursday, meets the hearty approval of the other Judges, as well as that of the leading members of the Bar in this city. The Judge emphatically declared that neither himself nor tbe Prosecuting At toruey had the right to irstruct the Grand Jury, as to whom they should in dict, or whom they should not indict. And if this court may not do it, far less may an v person who does not sustain to your official relations. As to your duty to banish from your minds all passion and prejudice, so also does it behoove you to isolate yourselves from every influence without you Iwxly. It is also the duty of the Court to see that, to the extent of its power, you are freed from all external pressure. Should any one, not of your body, seek to influence you by written, printed or verbal com munications to any one of you, you will inform the court of such fact, that the offender may be dealt with for con tempt." It will be remembered that Governor Palmer instructed the Prosecuting At torney of the State, as well as the District Attorney, to "advise" the Grand Jury to indict Mayor Mason, as well asjLieu tenant General Sheridan and General Sherman. The Court instructs the Jury that such advice would be coutempt of Court, and punishable accordingly. How far removed from such contempt the instruction and advice of the Gov ernor of the State to the sworn officer of the Court may be, Judire Williams, in his dear and comprehensive charge, omitted to state. —Journal A Council Bluffs clergyman has made a new departure in the manner of mar rying.

We also find that the expenditures of these congrega tions have been, for the snppurt of the ministry, $&8,836.39 for benevolent objects, $26,026.77 and that there has been recived from the American Home Missionary Society in aid and support of ministers, $17,738,35. Wisconsin Fire Sufferers Governor Fairchild announces, offici ally, that the wants of the burnt district in Wisconsin have now been supplied. The following is his announcement of the fact and note of thanks for favors received "Ex. DKI»ARTMENT, STATU OK WIS., Madison, Wis., Nov. 8, 1871. To the people of the United States "The Relief Committee inform me that the supply of clothing on hand, in transit, and ready for shipment will be sufficient for the sufferers by tbe fires in this State. No further contributions of this kind are needed now. Your gener osity has c:»nfortahly clothed the needy for the winter. They would not tax your liberality a moment longer than is necessary, and gratefully thank you for your liberal and timely aid. LIEIUS FAIRCHILD, Governor of Wisconsin." The New York Victory. From the New York Time*, Wednesday. The people have nobly responded to the appeals made to them. We have gained a greater victory than we dared to hope for. Once mure can we be proud of our city and State, and rest in perfect security that the long reign of rascals and outlaws is over. Although the Tammany leaders delayed canvass ing the vote untill past midnight, and when we write—at 2 in the morning— the full returns are not in, enough is known to show that a splendid triumph is gained. This comes of the people interfering in their own nflairs. All honor to the many estimable citizens who for weeks past have been sacrific ing personal comfort to the welfare of the community—canvassing from house to house, and inducing people who have not voted for years pant to assist in redeeming our city now! They have their reward. Let us hope that they will never again relapse into indiffer ence concerning their own affairs. We must briefly inscribe the details of this glorious and ever memorable victory. Of all the Tammany Senators offered for reelection Tweed alone is successful—and he will soon stand in the felon's dork. Norton is beateu. Genet and Wolfman are defeated. Brad ley is literally "nowhere." Judge Bar rett is elected by a great msjority, and Ledwith will realize this morning the bitter truth that lie has sacrificed honor and reputation without even getting a a mess of pottage for it. May that ever be the fate of venal traitor-! Of the Assembly Districts we know little while we write, but our news columns will supply thebitest information. The probability seems to be that Tom Fields is beaten and Sey more elected—and that Mr. Tilden is returned in the Eigh teenth District. We have gained four State Senators between this and Albany, and probably have a two-thirds majori ty in each House With this we can sweep away ti e "New Charter," and pass any laws that may be necessary for the welfare of the people. The County ticket appears to be elected clean. The majority of Sigel is splendid—at least 20.0(H). As for the State, it has come to our help with an ardor which we ought never to forget. In the district where the Tiinr* has a very large circulation, the Republican guins are very striking. Thus iu Poughkeepsie, there is a Re publican gain of seven hundred. In the town of Yonkers we gainover six hundred In Greenbush, Rensselaer county, the gain is over five hundred And so the story goes in nearly all parts of the State. We judge from the figures now before us that we have carried the State ticket by from fifteen to twenty thou sand majority. Will anybody say now that it is of "no use" to fi^ht against Tammany? Will the croakers tell us to-day that hone*! citizens stand no char\ix agajust corrupt politicians? The victory we havtt won is priceless, not only from what it gives us now, but because it will revive every man's faith in the ultimate triumph of truth and justice— becauso it will tcach scheming politjj cians that the voice of the people is supreme, and that tlx- immoral princi pica on which thia (.joveruu)*ut is ti'iii'ileii, although they may be ino mentarlly stifled by hi« hone^ factions, will constantly rise triumphant, while the men who'assailed them will pane away te everlasting infamy.
