The tokens of grief and indignation so generally shown, when it was made certain that Abraham Lin coln was dead, gave at once the clearest proof, not only of the deep detestation with which his foul assassination was regarded, but also of the warm esteem in which he, who for four years had guided the affairs of the nation, was held as a ruler and as a man. In many countries an event of this nature, happening at such a juncture of affairs, would have been followed by an uprising of the people, resulting in scenes of indiscriminate and passionate vengeance. Here, however, a different result was witnessed. In a few instances, men of virulent nature and seemingly lost to human sensibility, who had expressed a modi fied approval of the dreadful deed, received unmistak able warning of the danger of indulging a sentiment so brutal. But the indignation of loyal men found vent, for the most part, in efforts to arrest the mur derer and his abettors, whoever they might be, and in demands for their condign punishment. The spontaneousness and depth of the sorrow evinced on this occasion, bring to remembrance the Viii LINCOLN MEMORIAL. account given of the occurrences consequent upon the death of Sir Philip Sidney in the year 1586. The grief of the people of England at his loss, say his biographers, was wide-spread and sincere. His body was brought to London and there interred, although the subjects of his late government in the Netherlands begged that it might be suffered to remain among them, and offered, should their request be granted, "to erect for him as fair a monument as any prince had in Christendom, yea, though the same should cost half a ton of gold the building." His funeral was performed with great circumstance and pomp, "the seven United Provinces sending each a representative to testify respect for his memory by their vicarious presence at his obsequies." The universities of Cam bridge and Oxford, also, " poured forth three volumes of learned lamentation, on account of the loss of him whom they considered as being their brightest orna ment; and indeed so far was the public regret, on this occasion, carried, that, for the first time in the case of a private individual, the whole kingdom went into mourning, and no gentleman of quality, during several months, ventured to appear in a light colored or gaudy dress, either in the resorts of business or of fashion." Of a similar nature, but wider in extent and more varied in expression, was the mourning for Abraham Lincoln. In truth, history does not present another instance, in which the grief of the civilized world has LINCOLN MEMORIAL. ix been unitedly expressed with such real earnestness, at the loss of any man, be he public ruler or private citizen. Throughout the north the manifestations of sorrow were well nigh universal. The funereal tolling of bells ; the booming of minute guns ; the sable draperies that shrouded the fronts of buildings both public and private, and garbed the interiors of places of public worship and the chambers of legislation and the halls of various organizations ; the flags at half mast or furled and festooned with crape ; the emblem atic decorations expressive of grief; the noble senten ces that fell from the lips of the departed, set forth in grand lettering on the extended canvas ; the craped arm of private citizen as well as of soldier and gov ernment official ; the black rose of sorrow or the features of the dead in miniature, worn like a decora tion of honor on the garment ; the mourning border which edged the sheet of paper on which man wrote to his fellow ; the black lines dividing the columns of the daily and weekly journals ; the multitudinous representations of those honest features in every home and office and counting-room and shop window ; the varied delineations that filled the pictorial papers to repletion ; the solemn dirges sung ; the prayers utter ed, instinct with the earnest inspiration of the soul; the churches thronged with mourning worshippers ; the impassioned utterances of those who minister at God's altars ; the eyes of the strong man filled with unaccustomed tears ; the weeping of women, the B x LINCOLN MEMORIAL. clouded faces of little ones, whose being seemed, for a time, overshadowed by a mysterious and sympathetic awe ; — these manifestations rendered those dark April days, in this year of victory and sadness, memorable and historic beyond all precedent. Then came the grand and solemn obsequies. The funeral at Washington inaugurated the imposing ceremonies, and for two weeks, the procession, start ing from that city, passed through the land to the wailings of a bereaved and stricken nation. At Balti more, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis and Chi cago the funeral scene was repeated, and thus the honored and beloved dead was borne to his western resting place. Springfield — once the home, now the grave of Abraham Lincoln — where the obsequies be gun at Washington were ended, is henceforth sacred among the shrines of the earth, sacred to every lover of labor, common sense, humanity, patriotism and God.

  • Sino-US Relations and Ulysses S. Grant's Mediation
    Looking for a Friend: Sino-U.S. Relations and Ulysses S. Grant’s Mediation in the Ryukyu/Liuqiu 琉球 Dispute of 1879 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad Michael Berry Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Christopher A. Reed, Advisor Robert J. McMahon Ying Zhang Copyright by Chad Michael Berry 2014 Abstract In March 1879, Japan announced the end of the Ryukyu (Liuqiu) Kingdom and the establishment of Okinawa Prefecture in its place. For the previous 250 years, Ryukyu had been a quasi-independent tribute-sending state to Japan and China. Following the arrival of Western imperialism to East Asia in the 19th century, Japan reacted to the changing international situation by adopting Western legal standards and clarifying its borders in frontier areas such as the Ryukyu Islands. China protested Japanese actions in Ryukyu, though Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) leaders were not willing to go to war over the islands. Instead, Qing leaders such as Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) and Prince Gong (1833-1898) sought to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, including appeals to international law, rousing global public opinion against Japan, and, most significantly, requesting the mediation of the United States and former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). Initially, China hoped Grant’s mediation would lead to a restoration of the previous arrangement of Ryukyu being a dually subordinate kingdom to China and Japan. In later negotiations, China sought a three-way division of the islands among China, Japan, and Ryukyu.

  • Commander's Corner
    Generals Ward & Chennault & LT Helseth China Post 1® Poop Sheet Commander’s Corner By 龙老板 Scott Riebel, Commander Hello Comrades, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. On January 25th, we will ring in the year of the Rat. Each new year brings us new opportunities, and this year will be no different. The vision of the future of China Post 1 looks bright, the Post is fiscally sound, our membership renewal rate remains strong with nearly 90% of our members having renewed this year, and the Post enjoys the overwhelming support of the members for our shared vision of the future of the Post. Part of that vision is developing a sound relationship with the owners of the Old Post Home at 209 Fuzhou Lu, Shanghai and establishing a long-term sustainable Post presence in China. We’ve achieved tangible results in that arena. During the second week of December 2019, Joe Gentile and I traveled to China with the hopes of opening a dialog between the Director of Cultural resources, Shanghai, the U.S. Consulate and China Post 1. This edition of the Poop Sheet contains an abbreviated copy of our trip report detailing our efforts and successes. We will be returning in February to finalize plans for the Post to present the plaque celebrating our 100th anniversary, scheduled for April 20, 2020.

GENERAL HEAD-QUARTERS, STATE OF NEW YORK, 1 ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, ALBANY, Jan. 14. 1859. ~ To his Excellency E. D. MORGAN, Commander-in-Chief of the m'llitary forces of the State of N. Y.: Sir: Pursuant to the provisions of the law of Congress, " establishing a uniform militia throughout the United States," I have the honor to submit the following REPORT: The organized portion of the militia of the State has, during the past year, made marked improvement in discipline and military information. l When compared with its condition during and prior to the year 1857, it is certainly entitled to much praise for its present attitude, and for the evidences of zeal which pervades its ranks. Notwithstanding that the relief which the present defective law affords has always been greatly inadequate to meet the heavy pecuniary demands upon the force, and that the general regulations have recently largely increased these demands, the militia has passed through the trying y'ear of 1858 with honor and credit. To one interested in the development of our militia, and aware of the additional bur~hens in time and money which these regulations have heaped upon it, this intelligence cannot be otherwise than gratifying. betokening as it does a degree of military ardor throughout the State, hopeful in the extreme.

THE ALBANY HOSPITAL. The Albany Hospital was incorporated April 11th, 1849, and was formally opened for the reception of patients November Ist, 1851. A temporary building was at first occupied, on the corner ofLydius and Dove streets, while the present edifice was remodeled and prepared for use. The first officers of the Board of Management, elected July 14th, 1.851, were, John C. Spencer, President. Ezra P. Prentice, Vice-President. Joel Rathbone, Treasurer. Franklin Townsend, Secretary. The late Robert Townsend was elected Secretary, August 2d, 1858, and held the office until 1860. Stephen Groesbbeck, the present Secretary, was elected November 21st, 1862. At the inauguration oftheInstitution, the late Hon. John C. Spencer, its first President, who had labored with unre- mitting zeal in its behalf, commenced the exercises with the following remarks : I congratulate you, fellow citizens, that, at last, a Hos- pital for the relief of the poor and the suffering is opened in our ancient city. The increase of ourpopulation, the extension of business, and the collection of travelers by land and by water, at this great central point, renders such an institution not only an act of ordinaryhumanity, but of absolute necessity. Our railroads West, North, East and South, the canals terminating here, the river navigation by vessels and steam boats, bringing each clay multitudes exposed to all the casualties of travel—in addition to those incident to the 4 extensive business of an active resident population of 50,000 who are building houses, working factories, excavating earth, and carrying on all the branches of mechanical art, must inevitably produce a vast amount of bodily injury and disease.
