New York people feel offended because
General Sherman spoke Of Ohio as the
leading State in the Union. Well, some
other States were in full blast when she
was born, they are larger in point OF terri
tory, and possess more wealth than OHIO,
but as representative of our Republican
institutions, in enter prise, progress, and in.
tellectual strength, Ohio stands to-day
without an equal. We do not say this in
boasting spirit, but because there il am
pie evidence OF its truthfulness.-B Blaoe.

The floral tribute to keep green til,
memory OF those who sacrificed all fo
their country, was not as generally oh
served this as upon former years. Ii
some localities where the Blue and the
Gray lay side by side, both Federal and
Confederate joined in the ceremony OF Dec.
oration day. With reference to this We
find our opinion so we'll expressed by the
Cincinnati euette, that we give its remarks
in full below:
1t has been said that the monuments
erected TO the dead show the character OF
the living. The public ceremony of plac.
ing flowers on the graves of the soldier.
who died that the nation might live was
designed to pay the tribute of honor by
the living to the patriotism which inspired
our soldiers to offer their lives to the serv.
ice OF their country. No one looked upon
il as testimonial merely TO their vaior
iOr valor Is often found in despicable com.
bats The public ceremony had no mean.
ing save to honor the patriotism which
offered life to save the republic from di-
vision, 10 keep fresh the memory of their
services, and 10 keep before the rising gen.
Grafton the lesson that the Union will
honor those who died to save il.
When the ceremony has been expanded
so as to beHower alike the graves OF those
who died in defending the nation and OF
those who died in the attempt to divide it.
it abandons its original design ms a tribute
OF honor to patriotism, and in effect il
places patriotism and treason on an equal
ity as alike entitled 10 the need of the
country's gratitude and honor. Or, If II
has not all of this meaning, il at the least
becomes lowered TO a floral tribute TO mere
valor in enlisting in war. The ceremony
having thus become an unmcaning one, OF
OF which any meaning il can have is not
an honor TO the dead of the national army
it is time to drop it altogether.
There is in this no desire 10 pursue tho
dead OF the Confederate treason with ig.
nominy, or the living with animosity
Nor do We repudiate the feeling of an in
terest in the valor shown by Southern sol
diers, and in the ability % their leaders,
as qualities that are American, and that
belong to our common country. But all
this makes no cause to pay honor to them
for fighting TO break up the republic. If
Southern people desire TO honor the lost
cause by keeping in memory those who
fought Tor IL, that ia their affair. Such
of the Northern people as pariicipa in
this ceremony, did il to honor the patriot
ism which sacrificed life in fighting 10 de
fend that which the others fought 10 de-
stroy. When the two sides ::s,i;s in nav
ing equal honOrs TO both, the ceremony is
divested Of all rational meaning. and
should be discontinued. II il be said tba at
this mutual performance Is a reconstruc-
tion--a shaking OF hands across the bloody
chasm--a bnrial Of the memory Of hostii-
itics, the conclusive answer arises that the
most effectual way to bury these strifes is
to cease these rival ceremonies over the
graves of those who were slain by them.

maniully for awhile, but the struggle was
too much for him and one day lie aston
ished and disgusted the party leaders BY
turning the paper into an out and out war
organ. He was then assisting TO raise
troops and when the | 18th Ohio was raised
he was appointed Major. Being an ac-
complished soldier he rapidly rose to the
rank of Brigadier General and wen frc-
quent favorable mention for his gallantry
and skill. At the close OF the war he took
up his residence in Cincinnati. He was
repeatedly elected to Office there, was sent
to the Legislature for several terms and
held the offices of Recorder and Auditor
OF Hamilton county. The last named Of,

THE ISLAND TRAGEDY.

DEATH OF CREEvY, THE OLD GATEKEEPER-
HE NEVER RECEIVERS CONSCIOUSNESS.
After lingering thirty-sx hours in an unconscious
state, the aged gatekeeper Of Blackwel's Island
Matthew Creevy, breathed his last six O'Clock last
evening At his bedside when he died were his two
sons and Dr. Kitchen. There is every reason to
believe that clew will be obtained 10 the mur-
derers OF Creevy. Commissioner Brennan was on the
Island all day, and instituted thorough tnvest-
cation, IN hopes that he might CLEAN some facts
that would lead 20 the discovery OF tho mur-
dcrerA but he fotled at every turn
The two men arrested on Friday still In custody
yet there evidence against them Their clothing
has been examined but not spot Of blood has been
found The Commissioner withhold their names for
the present, both have heretofore stood very
well in the community.
About ten O'Clock yesterday morning a man about
thirty years OF age called upon Mr. Kellock supern.
tendent OF the Outdoor Poor, and gave his name as
Creevy. he stated that he a OF the deceased
He granted pass TO the Island and remained with
the old man until the latter died.
II seems that old Creevy who had speculated TOT
some time In tobacco has often shown roll OF money,
and, 10 is said, at times loaned small TO the
yics IL Is the opinion OF many that some OF the con-
victs, Knowing that there guards around the
Island at night and that the Oldham usually alone
In his little lodge upon being discharged from the PeD
tentiary concluded 10 murder Creevy for his money.
II Is also said that about two weeks ago the old man
received about 500 bounty money, which fact was
nosed about among the prisoners. One OF the de-
ceaseds friends states however that no had deposited
most OF the money last Monday IN savings bank on
