HATRED TO TIE DEAD.
The Washington National Re,,,17;;.o,, ~

The Washington National Republican pub
fishes the following official announcement:
"Resotred, That we, the members of the
executive committee of the Grand Army of
the Republic, do hereby give notice that tho
rooth OF May being set apart BY the Grand
Army OF the Republic as a memorial day to
their comrades who died in defence of their
country. and the grounds at Arlington and
other national cemeteries being opened on
that special day by order of the Quartermas-
ter-General of the Army to the Grand Army
OF the Republis 'for the purpose of strewing
flowers upon and decorating the graves of
the deceased Union soldiers, any attempt by
the friends of the rebel dead to strew flowers
on their graves ,oiH be regarded as an inter
ference Nth the programme Of the oav, and
itoiU not be tolerated."
The Unborn spirit of hatred, to the South.
the dead as we'll as the living,-which is
inimical to the puritanical spirits of New Eng
land and other portions of the North, crops
out on all occasions. Not that the whole peo-
'ptaNef- the North, as mass, coincide with the
views of the devilish' leaders of sectional IA
naticism, but there are those in the North. it
seems, who are determined never to allow the
hires of party hatred and malice to slumber
Flor enc G1oment-aye, not even permit the
Southern dead to siumber peacefully in their
graves, if that were possible. But thanks be
unto an all>wise Providence, tho blood hounds
may howl and rant, and the "Grand % Army
OF the Republic" issue its manifestoes by the
Thousand, and whilst they may attempt to in
suit the living Southerner by their disrespect
for the Southern dead !; yet all their SCOTS and
-scorn can never harm that little band of heroes
who "sleep their last sleep" beside the
Northern dead, on the heights of Arlington.
And when, way down the ages of futurity,
the names of Butler and such ilk Shall be
remembered only in infamy and disgrace,
those of Lee, Jackson and Albert SYDNEY
Johnston will live emblazened high up on the
scroll of fame, patriots and heroes, who.
when living, held malice toward none, and
who, though dead, will ever live not only in
the hearts of their countrymen, but on the
records Of impartial history in all future ages
bat to revert to the extract published
above, it is we'll that whilst that secret mill
taryspolitico organization, the Grand Army
OF the Republic" may be controlled by venge-
tui and malicious spirits, yet there are those,
In the North, and many of them we trust,
who have the charity to breathe such senti-
ments as those expressed by the lamented
Chief Justice Chase, and in striking contrast
to the ediot of the G. y. R., VIC append the
following utterance of that eminent iurist
81 have no sympathy with the spirit which
refuses to strew flowers upon the graves of the
dead soldiers who fought against the side
took"

THE PENITENTIARY TROUBLE

The Moorefield Advertiser, referring to the
prospective adjudication of the recent penis
Tertiary trouble by the Supreme Court of Ap>
peals, we'll says:
"We are heartily glad of.this. The trouble
and the unpleasant agitation growing out of it
can only be allayed by decision of the
highest tribunal in the State. We feel we'll
satisfied that when the Court of Appeals con-
strues tho Constitution in this regard, both
parties to this controversy will yield willing
and hasty obedience thereto, and this is the
way all such troubles should be settled. Our
State is too young to engage in the broils and
surmoils so frequent of late in some others
We have too much at stake to run any such
risks. We regret very much the little ex>
citement the Moundsville difficulty created.
we think the Governor could have raised the
question for the courts in some other less rev.
dictionary manner. But if the question at
issue has been fairly and squarely raised for
the courts, we can forgive him for it in order
that it may be settled. We despiso wrang-
ling and quarreling. 1t has bad effect upon
the best interest Of the State and people.
When this question is settled No one will res
Jolce more than we will

First Case Under the New LIQUOR Law.

From the Parkersburg ortnopolitda, of the

man applied for it, the seller. Informed hint

him to pay a fine of 500 and be Imprisoned
in the county Jail for ten days Coleman an.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION,

President Grant, says the Baltimore Ca
sette, has determined that the usurpation of
the Government by Kellogg, in Louisiana,
shall be maintained by military force. Shell
tering himself behind the plea that Congress
tacitly recognized Kellogg and the officers as
ISOLATED with him in the State Administers
ton, he has responded to the call of Kellogg
for assistance. Assuming that "certain tur-
bulent and disorderly persons have combined
together with force aud arms to resist the con-
stituted authorities of the State" he has is
sued proclamation commanding them to dis.
perse and retire to their homes within twenty
days from date, and ordering them hereafter
to submit to the laws and to the rule of Off
clals whose only claims to recognition are the
illegal decree of drunken judge, aud the
support which President Grant unjustly ac-
cords them.

Proposal to End the Mod6o War.

One of the happiest incidents connected
with the visit of the Board Of Regents Of
Mount Vernon to that place, on Wednesday
last, was the Interview betwssn young and
gallant Confederate cavalry ofie, who had
won bis first distinction as an indian fighter.
and Miss Nellie Grant. The ex- Confederate.
having accidentally met an old friend among
the lady visitors, was introduced BY her to her
daughter, and also, an d to his great surprise
when he heard her name, to her daughters
friend, the daughter of the President; but.
being as courteous as he is brave, he strove to
render himself agrsea Bile TO his distinguished t
acquaintance, and by his affabiIity and genial
southern manners was SO successful that in
short time the reserve Of new acquaintance>
ship was worn off, and they were talking to-
gether as Familiarity as if they had known
each other for years. On their return he was
particularly attentive, pointing ont TO her
from the deck of the steamer the several OBJ
Jects of interest along the banks of the POI!
tomac and narrating the legends attached to
them; and as the boat 'rieared this CITY he ex,
pressed his regret at not being able to escort
her to her home, saying he would certainly
get that honor were it not chat he must meet
near and dear relative, an invalid lady, who
was expected to arrive here that evening"
Then taking the hand she preferred him as he
arose to leave her ne said with smile,
"Please bear my regards to the. President,
and be kind enough'to tell him that if he'll
only furnish the necessary rations and trans
portation Eli take squadron of the Black
Horse cavalry and promise to end the NIodoc
war and make him present of Captain Jack,
dressed in General Canby's uniform, within
thirty days" and, lifting his hat, bowed him
self towards the companion~way, down which
he disappeared, she having laughingly re-
marked as he babe her adieu "Well, Sir, L
must say YOU are the most impudent man I
ever met" -Alerandria Gazette.
