Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1874-01-08

Go y
congress last winter, by a vote
of two to one, recognized the validi-
ty of this claim. The Senate bare
ly defeated the measure if mistake
not, by single vote. A memorial
has recently been addressed to Con
gress by the Governors of the three
States interested, and we trust our
efforts will be warmly seconded by
the Legislatures of our respective
States. 1t is believed that sense
of justice will induce Congress to
accord to US what we maintain is
fairly due.
CENTENNIAL.
1t having been decided to cele-
brate the one-hundreth anniversary
of our National Independence by a
grand exhibition of the industry
and resources of the country, 1t is
desirable that provision for this i'm
portant event be made upon scale
commensurate with the dignity of
the occasion. Foreign nations are
already signifying their acceptance
of the invitation of Government,
while exhibitors in this and other
countries are applying for necessary
space. To make the exposition
such a success as shall present our
lyoung Republic to the Governments
of the old world in the most favor
able light, such display as shall at
tract the attention and command
the admiration of the whole civiliz-
ed world-a large amount of money
will be required. In order to raise
the necessary funds, and for other
purposes, the Centennial Commis-
sion appeals to the patriotic impuls
les and generous spirit of all our peo
tple. Certainly no State in the Un
ion has greater cause of gratitude
and pride than Ohio, with her three
million inhabitants and her abound
ing wealth. 1t is hoped the rich and
1.-THE poor alike, each according to his
meaus, will contribute something
toward carrying out the designs of
the Commission. 10 facilitate this,

CONFEDERATE GRAVEYARD. .
+ The Confederate cemetery at Colum-
r bus has for several years been cared for
RI by an agent under the direction of the
Governor. and the expense thereof has
been paid out of the contingent fund
The ground is owned by private parties
and is not law fully under the control of
; the State or of the United States. The
WOODEN neaQ-D0afUS bearing Tile nanleS
, of the dead are rapidly going to decay.
In few years it will be impossible to
distinguish the different graves. 1t
J would seem proper that the United
, States Governments should purchase this
cemetery. and provide for its care and
supervision. In the absence of such
action, however, on the part of the
1 limited States. IL is for the General As
sembIy of Ohio TO decide what ought to
be done. The subject is respectfullv
recommended for your consideration.

Of the survey has been completed, and
large amount OF material has been

hoped that all the text would be ready
for the printer at the beginning OF the
present year, but it has been found i'm
possible, with the utmost industry, to
finish it. Sufficient matter for two
more volumes will be prepared by the
18th of February next, when the term
for which the Geological Corps was ap-
pointed expires by Limitation. Indeed,
no appropriation has been made for ex-
penses beyond the 1st of the present
