died out of SII3- e
The Police Reports of the same day furnish
che following: -
Pat Duffy, the proprietor of the notorious
ticket swindling office No. 108, West street,
was arrested, charged with having swindled
Samuel Zahner, a resident of Ashland, Ohio,
out of 300. 1t seems hat Zahner and his
wife arrived in this city a few days since, and
were conveyed by a dishonest hackdriyer to
the thieving den of John E. Enright in Cedar
street, instead of the respectable hotel to which
he had been directed. Here he made known
his desire to purchase a ticket for California,
and was forthwith conducted to the Office kept
by Duffy. Mr.. Zahner desired to patronage the
Vanderbilt line, but Mr.. Duffy informed him
that he had bought all the Vanderbilt steamers,
and that he was the only man who could send
him to California. He further stated that tn
price of cabin tickets was $50, and second
cabin tickets 1925. Mr.. Zahner accordingly
paid $500 for two cabin tickets, but subsequeat-
ly learned that the regular price was but 500,
and that consequently he had been duped TO
the extent of 500. The accused was arrested
and held for examination.

ANoTHEk SILVER HWEDDING.-Just one

Hibbard,) who so magnifcently celebrated a
similar anniversary in our place, Mr.. and Mrs.
LUTHER reache their quarter century station
on the railway journey of welded life. Mrs.
LIS health and strength not being quite ade-
quate to the formal "merry making" which had
been contemplated, some of her friends new
ertheless determined she should not quite fail
of some appropriate congratuIation on the spe-
cial anniversary of such happy memory. They
accordingly prepared a little song, and adapted
music thereto, the singing of which was the
climax of a very pleasant evenings interview
had with the family by dropping in for a little
surprise. The song, written without a thought
of publeat on, and intended merely for @fam-
lily consumption" has been desired for the
printer, and is appended. l.. N. G.

JOY. for the twenty five years departed,
Joy, for the happiness then begun,
Joy, that when tremulous tears have started,
Smiles have thy countenance overrun.
Quiet and constancy crowned thy bridal,
Yielding perennial joys at home;
For an affectionate care meier idle,
Told thee forgetfulness could not come.
Providence, h~allowing such alliance
Smiled. and in radiance snileth yet;
While thy serenity bids defiance
Ever to gloom and to vain regret. -
Children, in dutifuI, glad affection,
Prize thy companionship, dear to all:
Long may their love and a husbands protection
Be thine, and Gods blessing, whatever befall

Slandering Mr.. Bell.

Far and wide, the abuse of Mr.. Bell by Demo-
cratic papers and speakers, is to be and heard,
charging him with being unsound upon the Slavery
question. Mr.. Bells record, for twenty years in the
House of Representatives, and twelve years in the
Senate will prove him to be as reliable Southern
man, as any man who has served as long in Con-
gress. We challenge an investigation into that
cord. The closer it is inspected the brighter will
the Tennessee Statesman shine in the eyes of all
honest, conservative Southern and Northern men.
The first slander started out was in regard to his
voting in the House, TO receive Abolition petitions
and memorials. This has been laid on the shelf by
producing the record The latest slander is, a
charge that JOHN BELL voted to abolish the slave
trade in the District Of Columbia while in the Sen
ate of the United States. Mark how we dispose Of
this vile SANDER and from the record convict De
nocrdcy of the damnable sin falsely charged upon
JOHN BELL On page 1880, VOL 81, of the Congress
siona Globe the following proceedings published
"MR. HALE-Mr President, rise to enquire what
is the question before the Senate2
THE PREsIDEST-It is on the passage of the bill
"to suppress the slave-trade in the District of Co
lumba.'
Mr.. Mason called for the yeas and nays on the
passage, and they were ordered, and were as fol-
lows:
| YEAs-Messrs. Baldwin, Benton, Bright Cass
Chase Clark, Clay Cooper Davis, of Massachusetts
Dayton, Dickinson, Dodge, of Wisconsin, Dodge, Of
Iowa, Douglas, Ewing, Felch, Fremont Greene
Gpu, Hale, Hamlin, Houston, Harris, Jones, Sew
ard, Shields, Spruance Sturgeon, Underwood, Wales
Walker and Winthrop--33.
NAYS Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Barnwell, BELL
Berrien, Butler, Davis, of Mississippi Dawson
Downs, Hunter King, Mangum, Mason Martin
Sebastian Soue, Turner and Yulee-l9.
We note among the guilty yeas, in itdGc, th,
names of Democrats now in full fellowship viii
both wings of the defunct party If the party were
sincere in rejecting Bell upon the charge OF his guilt
they would now cut loose from such men as Bright
Cass, Douglas Dickinson, the Dodges, Greene, Gwin
Shields, Harris, Walker, and that stripe, who ar
now supporting Breckenridge, the dsunioR candid
ate. What hypocrits they are as well as liars
False at heart false in word and false and treach
erous in their purposes, they deserve the ant
contempt of all honest men, true patriots, and lover
of their country. They have tied on to the blood,
of Dsunion, and sail under the black and pirat
cal flag of Secession, in the sectional name of
Southern Confederacy; and falschood, SANDER, an
treason, articles of religious fdith compared wit
what such men are prepared for-hnor. Wing.
