The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-10-06

Mr.. Beldcn Resseque, of Van Buren,
Onondaga County, N. Y, on Tuesday
last, while in the actof getting upon the
cars at Syracuse, had his pocket picked of
a wallet containing a certificate of dcpos-
it for 5000, $50 in money, and an Illinois
State Bond for $1,000. In less than
twenty four hours after the property was
stolen, the bond was sold to the firm of
Wadsworth Gy Sheldon, bankers, at No. 90
Wall-st,; and 1.-TWO hours after the purchase
money had been paid, they received infor
nation of the loss of Mr.. Ressequie, and
measures were then taken by them to stop
the payment of their check on the Metrop-
clifton Bank, which check had been drawn
up for $3.50, and by request of the per-
son who sold the bond, made payable to
the order of Z. L. Maganos & Co., who
had an office at No a. Wall-st. The par
ty who received the check, it seems, did
not present it at the Bank for payment,
but got it cashed by Joseph E. Earick q
Co., Jewellers, at No 13 Maiden lane,
who deposited it in theIrving Bank, which
bank subsequently sent it to the Metrop-
olitan Bank, but it was returned, the pay
ment. of it having been stopped. Officer
William FL. Stephens, late of the Lower
Police Court, was then applied to, for the
purpose Of ascertaining who the party
was who had sold the bond to Wadsworth
& Sheldon, and that indefatigable officer
in very short time ascertained thata Ger
man named Isaac Morris was the man
who sold the bond and got the check cash
ed at the storeof Joseph E. Earick & Co..
Search was then made for Morris, and on
Thursday he was arrested by Officer
Woolley, of the First Ward Police, and
upon being questioned relative to the mat
ter, he stated that man named Bernstein
had given him the bond to negotiate, and
had also endorsed the name of Maganos
upon the back Of the check, Morris was
taken before Justice Osborn and held to
await examination, while Officer Woolley
was dispatched to Albany with warrent
for the arrest Of Bernstein, who Morris
said had gone there. The officer, soon af-
ter his arrival, found the man and brought
him to this cty yesterday afternoon: He
was taken before the magistrate and com
mitted to prison to await an examination,
which will take place this afternoon at 4
O'Clock. The charges against him are
grand larceny, in stealing the bond, and
in forging the name of Maganos q
Co. upon the back Of it. Morris states
that he can bring incontestible proof of
his being guiltless Of any evil ind t on his
part of the transaction.

The whole story in a nut she'll
The Albany Knickerbocker, under the
head Of Independence and Progress, .
tells the whole story of our nations birth
and greatness, and progress in the arts and
sciences, in a remarkable short paragrah
for theme SO comprehensive. The style
is rather racy, but decidedly to the point:
cit is seventy-seyen years ago to-day
since Uncle Sam was born, and what an
Eeventful seventy-seven years have they
been. Seventy seven years ago the Uni
ted States was remote circumstance; they
now compose the second commercial ma
ton in the world. In three quarters of a
century they have revolutionized the
world, built up an empire, licked oul
mother, and fencedin continent. In less
time than it took Mathuselah to get. out ot
swaddling clothes we have made more
canals, lamed more lightning, and har-
messed more steam, and at greater cost
in money than the whole revenues of the
world could have paid for the day he got
out Of his time. In seventy five years we
have not only changed the politics of the
earth, but its wearing apparel-cotton
shirts being as much the offspring of the
United States as ballot-boxes and democ-
racy. Since the fourth of July 1776, the
whole world has been to school, and what
is better, has learned more common sense
than was taught in the previous four thou
sand years The problem of self-govern-
ment has been solved, and it's truth made
immortal as Washington or yellow corn.
Its adoption to all the wants of the more
aspiring nation has been made most sig
nally manifest. sUnder its harmonious
working, a republic has grown up in an or
binary lifetime that Would have taken any
other system Of government thousand
years to have brought about. Yes, in
less time than it has taken. some green
house plants toarrive atmattrlty, we have
built nation that has spread itself from
Maine to Mexico, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific "a nation that has caught more
whales, licked more Mexicans planted more
telegraph posts, and owns more steam
boats, than any nation that has ever lived
or ever will. For all this, we again say,
thank God, and s'praise Thomas Jeffer-
SON.
