WORSE THAN JUDAs.-John Hams an
old veteran of Stark county, in announcing G
himself as an Ant-Nebraska candidate for
Congress, and defining his position through
published card, thus humorously passes
judgment on the late traitors in Congress:
But what of the shareholders, some may
ask? Well think hey are men subject
to like passions as other men-and although
decidedly wrong on the question of slavery.
yet consider them comparatively innocent
when placed beside our own Northern trail
tors. call them traitors without any de-
sire to qualify or soften the expression.-
Some have compared them to the arch
Traitor, Judas lscariot This comparison
think wrong, decidedly wrong-but the
wrong is to Judas. and not to the modern
traitors. Why gentlemen after Judas had
done the damning deed he threw down
the thirty pieces of silver at the feet of his
seducers and repented, and went and hung
himself. AT the last account from Wash.
ington, the traitors had done neither-and
until they repent and hang themselves as
Judas did. and thereby render partial
atonement to retributive justice, they ought
not to be compared to him. When they
repent and hang themselves, shall be will
ling they should occupy the same level in
the temple of inGamy that Judas does, but
until then never.
A SrUrENDoUs RoBpERy!-Mr James
Radcliffe, messenger Of the United States
Express Co., was robbed at the Dayton De-
pot, last evening, of the money carpet-bag
of his run, containing, perhaps. twenty thou
sand dollars. The exact sum is not known,
as the bills were in the same bag with the
packages of Bank notes.
The light express wagon sent from the
Office to meet the through train from San
dusky, was waiting at one of the depot
doors when Mr.. Radcliffe arrived He
took the money carpet-bag, placed it near
the seat and momentary turned to adjust
another package-when he turned round
to take the carpet-bag again-no: more
than three seconds elapsed-it was gone.
and in the darkness and confusion, no clue
was got to the scoundrel who, undoubtedly,
had dogged the messenger all day, wait
ing for the slightest chance to grab the
prize.
Singular enough, no Police officer was
to be found about the depot and in gener-
al confusion attending the arrival of an Ex-
press train, it was sometime before the Of
tcers got to work.
The United State Express Co. has man
aged all its business with great care as
well as promptness and Dispatch; Mr.. Rad
cliffe is responsible and vigilant man, and
it seems strange enough that the thiet
should have secured the bag, Up to one
O'Clock this morning. no certain trace Of the
thief had been found. If the loss should
fall upon the Express Co.. remitters neet
feel no apprehensions of its responsibility
