A "Card" of Thanks,

In view Of the immense service rendered
by certain Indiana, Illinois and New York
politicians to Ohio in the election just held,
whereby the Union majority has been push
ed up to oabout ONE HUNDRED THOUS-
AND in the State, it seems no more than
just and proper that the Union Men IF Ohio
should make some public acknowledgement
to the politicians aforesaid for their impor.
tant services in securing SO grand result.
1t is therefore moved and seconded, that
the thanks of the onion people OF Ohio be
rendered to Koorhies Of Indiana. to Merich.
Of Illinois, and MclMdsters of New York, for
their services in bringing about such a tri-
umphant condemnation Of Vallandigham,
whose election they especially advocated! :
And the Union men would take this occa-
sion to express their profound conviction
that if the aforesaid outsiders had been
brought into the State month earlier in
the campaign they would have go utterly
sickened and disgusted all loyal Democrats
that the Union majority, would have been
double its present respectable ti) number
And, in view Of the service thus rendered
by those disgusting Copperheads in making
the people sick of CopperheadisD, the
Union men of Ohio would recommend an
appropriation of $l7,750, 966, ,66, in Con-
Jctierate currency, wherewith to procure
each OF said Cepperheads rat-tsil, ,fle, in
order that each Of said yipefs may enjoy
the otian, cum, dig, Of "gnawing file" tor
the relDaipder of their natural lives!-[ Ohio

A Graceful Compliment to Wife.
The following neat and beautiful reply
was made by the late Daniel O'Connell, in
response to toast given in compliment to
his wife, who was the object Of his long and
affectionate attachment. 1t was given at a
political meeting. The English language
could furnish nothing more touchingly ten
der and graceful:
There are some topics of so sacred and
sweet nature, that they may be compre.
hended by those who are happy, but they
cannot be possibly described by any human
being All that I shall do is to thank you
in the name of her who was the disinterest-
ed choice of my early youth; who was the
ever cheerful companion of my manly years:
and who is the sweetest sclace of that 'sere
aud yellow leaf age at which have arrived
In her name l thank you; and this you

A southerner Compelled to Disgorgt


A week or two since Southerner arrived
in this city, bringing with him very large
sum in cash, stated at upward of twenty
five thousand dollars, which he probably in
tended to invest in Northern securities for
future benefit, preterring the substantial
stocks of the hated Yankees" to the rath-
er shaky financial institutions Of his below
ed but at present rather diiapidated Confed-
eracy. BY chance a merchant of this city
ascertained that this stranger had been in
times previous to the rebellion customer of
his house, and was still debtor to the ex-
tent Of several thousand dollars, which he
had either forgotten or designedly neglected
to pay. The place of deposit OF the debtors
valuables was also ascertained, aud armed
with the proper legal authority placed in
the hands Of an officer of the law, he pro
ceeded to make levy upon the SINE to the
extent of his demand, with interest, after
which the balance was returned to the
stranger, who, perhaps from fear that other
creditors might further deplete his coveted
hoard, disappeared from view and has not
been seen. though several peasons have been
