We give the above as a fair sample of the
kind of arguments used by certain class of
Democratic papers in Ohio, who make some
pretensiops to loyalty and patriotism. No
one, we are sure, but a corrupt demoralized
partisan, who has more regard for his party
Than for his country, would resort to such
miserable slang. whang as the above, at this
time, when men of all parties in the North
are making sacrifices TO sustain the credit
and arms of the country. In the South,
where no one claims that the RepV blican
Party is predominant but where pure and
uDadulterated JEFF Davis Democracy has en-
tire sway, all the articles above enumerated
command double the prices they do IN the
North. When the history of these times
shall have been written by the impartial his
toTian, it will be seen who is responsible for
the present state Of affairs. Until then, il

friends to keep silent UTbdHG Citizen.

THE DEAD. - Transplanted to another
cline. Gone, shut out from the world for
ever. What mOckery is the remembrance
of her light and fairy.like footsteps. How
cruelty harsh CRATES the reality on the sensi-
tveness of sympathy. And yet her soul has
only done that which God has required
countless millions since the creation of NOR
tality. The dying swans last notes are its
sweetest, the perfumed rose bushes deepest
before whitening.
So is it with mankind. Death ruthlessIy
claims his victim, and in the last moments
are uttered words, that burn in memory
even to the end, and are bequesthed from one
century to another and the dying mortaps
last creation becomes world-lived. We have
stood beside the couch OF pale angelic girl,
whose life had not counted its seventeenth
summer.
We have watched the resplendent glitter
ing of heavenly happiness emauating from
the large and expressive eyes, when sur.
rounded by sorrowing friends. The slow,
irregular and difficult breathing, drawing
the victim nearer and nearer to heaven, has
borne on its ghastly bosom the farewell
words, which never before sounded as then.
How vividly they lipger in memoryI The
face for moment glowing with a beauty
indescribable, the final gasp closing the life,
and the spirit is with its Maker The inan-
innate form yet remains; the luster of the
eye has vanished; the beatiDgs of the heart
are stilled; but the flaxen curls still adorn
the white marble brow. How painfully
sounds the parting words! How intensely
vivid was the last look, as with its ending
the spirit took its flight, to adorn with its
angelic purity the mansion of its Creatorl

A Dark Joke.

Politeness is a quality to be commended
in whatever station of life it may be exhib.
tied; but sometimes it has led people into
embarrassing predicaments, and been the oc-
casion of good laugh. Some time since
we will not say how Tonga young'man of
our city, rather noted for his strict observ-
ance of the rules of etiquette and the agree.
able, was journeyiDg from an Eastern city
homeward, and had arrived at Columbus.
Here he determined to remain until the next
day. Coming out Of the car, Smith-that is
the usual name given for an incognito, we
believe-observed a young lady evidently
alone, and somewhat in doubt as to what
course she should take, During the trip he
had fallen in with several ladies and formed,
as may be imagined, several pleasant passing
acquaintances, and was somewhat persist
ent in performing those little courteses
which ladies travelling alone are apt to exact.
from those of the other sex with whom they
are on speaking TERMS" Our friend, of
course, was ready; but in the particular in-
stance to which we allude, the time was
night.
Approaching her, Smith very politely in.
quired if he could be of service, and as she
said he could, he very considerably took
charge of her carpet-sack and walked along
at her side. The conversation was carried
on desultorily, the lady seemingly disin-
clined to much conversation, which Smith
attributed to the shortness of the acquaint-
ance and natural difidence characteristic
of young ladies' In due course of time they
neared the hotel, when the charmer remarked
that she would probably find one of the por.
ters and relieve him (Smith) of the charge.
But Smith, true gallant, objected, and was
determined to see her and the baggage safe
into the well'lighted hall of the hotel. Here,
however, be it remembered, Smith had several
friends who happened to be standing in the
hall when he entered, carpet sack in hand,
and locking as though he had done his whole
duty TO the sex in general and that one in
particular. The doors were thrown open
the twain stood in the light in full view of
the nights passengers-the lady raised her
vail and display ed-a countenance dark and
lustrous as ebony, finely set off by very white
teeth ard pair OF eyes which Smith declares
resembled wild cats at night. Perhaps she
smiIed-she might have blushed, but the car
mine tint was not visible; and Smith-he
pulled his hat down over bis eyes and dissp-
peared, with the muttered ejaculation
"POrter for nigger, by"
Where our polite hero stopped that night
never has been ascertained, but this much
has been ascertained-Smith escheWs DO.

GREAT HAUL OF BOGUS CoIN-Arret of
COunteIttiteTS.- esterday afternoon Lieu
tenant Z. I. Harmon, of the Hammond street
Station house, assisted by Marshal Bennett
of Newport, and Officer Flannery, of this
city, made descent upon the house No ia
West Courtstreet between Rittenhouse and
Lynn, and arrested the occupants of the
buildipg-James Mason and Cordelia Wilson.
These parties are expert counterfeiters. The
former has served one term in the Ohio
State Penitentiary on the charge of manu-
featuring and passing bogus coin, and the
latter is we'll known TO the police of Cincin-
natl as one of the shIewdest women in the
same business extaut. Lieutenant Harmon
and Marshal Bennett have suspected for some
time that Mason and his partner had revived
their old trade at the above house, and ac-
coIdingly on yesterday, after making ju-
dicious reconnaissance of the premises an
immediate attack was resolved on.
Lieutenant Harmon advanced boldly to
the front door. which he found firmly barri-
caded. All efforts to break it down by kicks
proving fruitless, the party were about to
adopt other measures to effect an entrance,
when the door was thrown wide open by
Mrs. Wilson, and the officers rushed in. A
short search revealed the fact that Mason,
the commander of the CASTLE was on the roof.
Lieutenant Harmon got up on the top of the
building just in time to see Mason throw
several bags down a chimney, which were
subsequently found to contain bogus silver
and gold coin, consisting of three, FIVE and
ten-tent pieces, quarter and half dollars, aud
one, three and fve-dollar gold pieces The
bags fell into the fire and a considerable por-
tion of the coin was melted. That which
was rescued from the flames by the officers
was very well executed, especially the gold
pieces, which are well calculated TO deceive.
A crucible and various implements used in
the manufacture of coin were found in the
house.
1t is supposed that Mason and Mrs. Wilson
are confederates of the johnson family, who
were arrested in Newport, by Marshall Ben
nett, a short time ago, aud in whose pos
session was found large amount of bogus
coin, resembling very much in appearance
and execution the peck found yesterday on
Court.stIeet. A large box was also found
in Mason's house, which was filled with
bolts of muslins, delaines, handkerchiefs,
towels, and a variety of other small articles,
all of which were, no debut stolen. The
goods are at the Office of the Chief Of Police,
where they can be identified by the proper
owners Mason and Mrs. Wilson were
taken in custody and lodged in the Ninth
street Station-house. They were before
Judge Satin this morning, and not being
ready for examination, the case was con-
tiDued until Wednesday next. Bail fixed
at $500 each.

DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE
Yesterday afternoon young woman named
Martha Patterson, better known as Jenny
Harding, came to her death in the following
manner: She had been troubled with
"cramps" for several days, and during tnat
time had frequently used morphine by direc-
tion of physician. Late yesterday after
noon the cramps returned upon her in a
violent form, and she sent young man
named Harding to the drugstore, corner Of
Sixth and Elm streets, for a morphine
powder He procured the powder, and upon
returning to the house administered it to
her. In short time afterward the woman
died. 1t has since been ascertained that the
powder which she took contained two
grains of morphine. Deceased lived at No
80 Pleasant court, an alley running East
from Elm street, between Fourth and Fifth

STEALING A CHICKEN.--A colored indiyid-
ual named jeremiah Hall pleaded guilty, in
the Police Court, this morning, to the charge
of stealing chicken from grocery store at
the corner of New and Sycamore streets.
Accused stated that he saw the chicken hang
ing outside the store, looking very tempting,
and be could not resist the desire to take it.
The Court entertained very serious doubts as
to whether a niger should be punished for
stealing chickens. 1t is Just as natural for
them to do it as it is for them to eat an opos.
