To the General Assembly: STATE OF OHIO, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLUMBUS, January 17, 1881. I have the honor to transmit herewith the report of Hon. M. A.

The report sets forth fully the purposes of the celebration, and it seems to me to be altogether fitting that Ohio, composed as it is of a part of the territory of Virginia at the time of the surrender, should, in a becoming manner, take part in this celebration; and I recommend, therefore, that suitable provision be made therefor. There being but one copy of the report, it is transmitted to the House of Representatives. Very respectfully, CHARLES FOSTER, Governor.
