GRAND ARMY MATTERS IN OHIO.

Special Correspondence National Tribune
CiNcIENArI, April 27.-The annual reports
of Inc Department of Ohio have just been is
sucd and indicate that the Order is III Il most
nou9ishing condition throughout the buckeye
State.
Assistant-Adiutant-G General Garfield, in his
report, refers to Ny predecessor Comrade T.
d. McGilicuddy, Of Akron, who had conducted
the Office with such signal success" From the
financial report ii appears that Adiutant-Gcn
cral McGillcuddy and a. q VI. {. i. Liant
turned over to the new administration $66i02 !;
that the receipts for the year were, including
balance. s., 7,d3i.41, and the disbursements
37,393.6G. The total membership December 81,
1881, was S630, a gain of {, ,402 during the year.
The report of Capt. McGillicuddy, rs chairman
of the committee on Affairs OF the Department,
is an interesting paper. The Department His
torian's report says: When it is remembered
that on the 3Ist day OF December, 1879, the
number of Posts was 10, the membership 900,
We may well say that the administration of
1880 under Commander ID. W. Thomas, ably
assisted by T. ID. McGillicuidy his efficient
assistant adjutant general, was successful one.
The Department of Ohio uuder their admins
tration, received new impetus, for the success
of which great credit is due Comrade McCilli-
cuddy. The chief mastering officer of the De-
partmcnt of Ohio, Capt McGillicuddy. in II
communication to the district mastering Off
GERS. urges them to organize and put in work
ing order, previous to the Both of May next,
Posts OF the c. A. Il. in such localities as they
can be maintained with the expectation that
they will take charge of the local decoration
services on that occasion.

sENTlMEMT OF THE GRAND ARMY.

The Virginia Legislature has before it bill
to give to the cOnvicts the care of the confcdcr-
ate dead, who fell i'll defense of Il cause they
deemed just. Such 4 measure is high-handcd
and diabsIical, and disgrace that Will burn
out al the honor and glory of Virginia's fair
name. Whilst it is true that the confeGeratcs
fell in a mistaken cause, yet those dead men
bsaver than whom the wcrld never saw-are
held sacred in our memory; and to have even
their graves kept green by stained hands,
would be q ,iesecration of them. We are glad
to see that our feeling is shared by the Grand
Army of the Republic; who, rather than see
the graves of these noble soldiers thus de-
spoiled, will take care of them. We hope
Virginia will never stain her record with such
q statute.-Baltim0re TRUTH

The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted at recent meeting of Keller Post,

Whereas justice and humanity require that
proper provision be made by Congress for
those who, By reason of their services and sac
rifccs in defending the country, have and shall
hereafter become unable to support themselves
and their families, therefore:
ReSolred, That oar Senator'S and Representa-
tives i'll Congress be requested to use their in
iluence to procure the adoption of measures
for the relief of soldiers and sailors and their
families, who died during the war or since
from diseases superindueed by reason Of mill
tary service !; and to provide act for the just
equalization Of the soldiers bounty; and so
modify and amend the existing pension laws as
to render it less difficult to prove Just claims
and more easy to prevent fraud in the procure
meut OF pensions; and we asl, that an increase
of pension be granted all AQEoraDly discharged
soldiers, and their widows and orphans, and
who may now be or hereafter become pension
ers and deserving of the same, and that the

be entitled to arrearage from the beginning Of
their disability.
Pesolred, That while we are in favor of
having Congress make all reasonable reduction
of taxes Oh products Of this country, we de-
mand that just and reasonable provision be
first made for the soldiers and sailors now sur
viving and for their families.
Rcsoired, That a copy of these resolutions be

ORIGIN OF THE ARMY BADGE,

As happen to know all about how the army
badge originated, 1 will give it for the benefit
of your readers. In Company A, Fifty-seventh

of Emerson Reynolds, born on the same farm
in Wyoming county, Pa, that was. As q bur

awkward manner people called him 'Dandy.n
We enlisted in the same company. After being
in the field awhile, Dandy" one day cut out
a diamond-shaped piece of red flannel and
pinned it on his hat. Some of the other bows
in the company saw it and did the same Can.

Vets reported in martial array to the number
of about four hundred In a military point this
day exceeded the preceding two. Every COM
pany was supplied with arms, and more pains
had been taken in obtaining uniforms The
drill could not he cxcelled. There was the
same old swing, the steady tread, the seemingly
careless attention, but at the same time the
straight line, the touch of the elbow, all dem
onstrating the fact that these were no raw re-
cruits even if they once lad belonged to the
awkward squad. The address Of welcome was
deiiycredby Rev. George AiHslie, and responded
to by Col. RUSSELL Ill behalf of the association.
The regular speeches were made by Hon. ".
II. Teft, of Whitehall, editor of the Chronicle,
and Gen. Hughes. Of Sandy Hill. Tie people
of Argyle had responded nobIy to the duties Of
the day. All seemed to vie with each other in
making the veterans welcome For the rcpast
the grove could not be surpassed in location.
Over thousand feet Of table room was fur
niShed, at which the soldiers and their families
sat down all at once. For G time Of real social
enjoyment and soldier visiting the 18th of Au-
gust, 1881, proved thc most successful. The
exercises Of the day closed with 4 sham fight
with blanl. cartridges This was an interesting
scene to the thou:ands OF spectators who had
never bchcld anything Of the kind before.
At sundown the village was " evacuated and
everything had resumed its wonted routine.
The memory still ciings to the glitter Of the
polished bayonet in the cleaning sunshine, the
sOul-stirring st-oins OF martial music the solid
columns Of the moving masses, and revert5
away back to the stern realities of the days

unity OF the time when the next Reunion is to

habituated to inquiring-" Where is it to be?'
We wish by q word at this time we could in
duco the men Of the days Of 81 in every section
of the country to take The matter Of similar
organizations in hand, perfect them, and sus
tain them. We would suggest Grand Army Of

deal better than not 30 meet at all. During the
past year Veterans Association has been per-
fected in Saratoga county. 1t is being dis
cussed in Warren county, and probably viii be
accomplished before long. The proposition to
hold a grand Reunion OF Warren, Washington,
Rensselaer,, and Saratoga counties meets with
cordial reception. II such a case it would be
necessary to go into camp for two, three, or
more days. Let us have an expression Of the
views of the "bcys" in this matter, both in
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE and through the local
press. The friendship of the soldier during
the war was Of firm, warm, and substantial
character. Let it be renewed and pcrpetuated.

Suicide of the Receiving Teller OF
the Rank Of Ca1ifOrnfa---He
brOOds over his LOSSES in
stocks and Ends his sorrows
with the Lethean Bullet.

SAN Francisco, June 7.-Chas. j.
CONNER, Receiving Teller of the Bank
of California, committed suicide this
morning at his residence, S34 Sutter
street, by shooting himself through the
head. He came down to breakfast at
tie usual hour, returned to his room,
and about ten o'clock was found dead on
the floor with pistol lying near his
hands. No report was heard by the in
mates of the house. The report ON the
street is to the effect that he has been
under surveillance by the bank authori-
ties on suspicion of crookedness in his
accounts; but the officers of the bank
say that the affair is complete surprise
to them; that he had always enjoyed the
full confidence of hisemployers, andthat
his accounts are perfectly straight.
They account for his act on the grounds
that some time ago he came into posses
sion of considerable amount of money
which he lost in stocks, and that his
losses had unsettled his mind The
officers of the bank had noticed nothing
peculiar in his behavior, but his asso-
ciates in the office say that he had ap-
peared for some weeks past to be labor
ing under depression of spirits, for
which he refused to assign any cause.
Deceased was well connected, being u
brother law of Adam Grant, of Muir
ply, Grant & Co., and of Gen. Morrow,
a well known stock operator. His age
was 81 years.
