Death of the Hon. John Bell.

Another of the old time statesmen has
departed. A Nashville dispatch, of the
10th inst, says:
"Hon John Bell died at o'clock this
afternoon at his residence at Cumber-
land Iron Works. He had been confined
to his bed several weeks with fever, but
the immediate cause of his death was
sufiocation. He was too feeble to throw
off the accumulated sputa in the air pas
sages. His remains will be brought to
Nashville for interment."

PAC1F1c RAILROAD FARES.

The general Ticket agent Of the
Central Pacific Railroad Of Califor
MIA announces that no pro rata tick
cts nor coupons Issued by any other
road viii be received by that road;
and that the passenger fare will be-
ten cents a mile in gold. II this be a
correct statement of the policy of
this road, then il is but another H.
lustration Of the heartlsssness and
short sightedness Of monopolies.-
There is no excuse for any such
rates of fare. In the first place, the
road Las not cost the stockholders a
dollar. IT has been built by the mon
ey of the nation The Central Paci-
hc Railroad Company has built 69o
mixes Of road, and the government
has issued to it bonds to the amount
OF S23, 1864, 900. 1t has received in
addition a donation Of public land
which at tits moment is worth in
cash 10000. 600, making a total
subsidy of $40, 1864, 900, or over s62-
600 per mile. In addition to this,
TIE company has issued bonds to
the amount s23, 900, 900, for which
it has mortgaged the road. The
stockholders have, in one way or
another, apportioned among them
selves q very large portion Of this
sum, perhaps 81, 900, 600 or s15,.
000.0o This distribution of profits
has taken place even before the COM
pletion ofthe road. In the meantime
the company has refused or neglect
Ell to pay the interest on its bonds.
The road itself has been constructed
in very losoe manner and the mon
ey which the managers have divided
should have been retained to put the
track in q substantial condition.
Having literally made away with the
bounty of the nation, the managers,
assuming that they have a monopo-
w, and that travel and traffic must
pass over their line, now propose
to charge ten cents per mile in gold
for passenger fare over their share
ofthe road 1t is an outrage and
a. extortion to which the American
people viii not submit. 1t lie the

given to the scheme of building an

EDITOR OF THE DEMocRAT:-
When one man feels himself called
upon to make a personal attack up
on tie character or conduct of
another through the columns of a
newspaper, if he intends to tell the
truth he will come out boldly over
his own name, feeling that the truth
will protect him, and public opinion
will sustain him. If he be q great
knave or cowardly BLACKBOARD, he
will shield himself behind some ficti-
tious signature, and refuse to sign
his own article with his own proper
name.
If the cowardly sneak who made
the attack upon me in your last
weeks paper will come out over his
own proper name so the readers Of
tue paper may know who he Is, i
will prove him to be liar and a
hypocrite,
It is easy to hire . third-rate get
tifogger to write on abusive article
about anyone; and it is easy to find
mean men, who have become pres
porous through fraudulent practices,
whose passions out-run their discre-
ton and who forget, amid their
money making, that they are spread
ing themselves out for moral dis
section.

: The rapid succession, amounting
almost to n concurrence, of political
movements in Europe, antagonistic
to the powers Of the pope, it is said,
lies at the bottom OF the call for 8
general (Ecumenical) council Of the
Church 90 assemble in Rome this
year. Spain has proclaimed relig-
ieus liberation, abolished monaste-
tories, banished the Jesui.s, and es-
tabiished free schools. The fapat-
ical devotion Of Eugene to the
Church has no little to do with the
present vigorous demonstrations of
popular discomfort with the Empire
in France. Austria has abolished
the Concorda:, which gave the pope
control OF the church and its duties
in her dominions. and has punished
with severity several reeusant cler-
gymen, who have maintained its
power against civil authority. This
last was q more staggering blow than
even the far more sweeping changes
in Spain. In a revolution, extreme
action against all institutions con-
nected with the detested Govern
ment is to be expected, while the
Austrian reformation was the work
or cool legislation, comm onplsce in
all lis forms as a-revenue bill, and
exhibiting simply the fruit Of we'll
settled conviction. To have the au-
thority of the church thus quietly
repudiated was at once more offens
i've and more threatening than any
amount of angry opposition. In the
position in which the action of Italy, |
Spain and Austria has placed the
long domination of the pope, he is
little more now than he was fifteen
hundred years ago, Bishop Of Rome
The Ecumenical Council has been
called, it is suggested, to devise the
means OF regaining this lostpower,
of combining the spiritual force and
terror ofthe church against the lev

A WIDOWS lNYITATTON.-ln former
days there dwelt in the brave corncracker
State, iE close proximity to each other, a
young, buxom, and wealthy widow, and
a bachelor of scarcely more than her own
age
Both had inherited their property, and
were comparatively strangers TO each
other. But their plantations joined, and
many were the acts Of neighboriy kind
ness that passed between them.
Well, as somebody once sang to the
witching Widow Machree, the time ar
rived when the "birds 90 in pairs and the
widow found that although she had plenty
of hen turkeys, she had none of the other
persuasion, they having mysteriously dis

She knew that her neighber had plenty
of a rare breed. so she sent Sambo over to
borrow a couple.
In due time he came back with q
large gobbler under either arm, and q
broad grin on his face.
"Well, what did he say7" asked the
mistress.
''IIe said," was the answer, ''dat he

answer, he'd jest come over and gObble
his own SELF"

commanded the widow, with blushing
checks.
The negro did as he was told.
The bachelors horse was hitched that
night until late hour at the post in front
of the widows door--and there was q
gay wedding in less than three moh'hs'
