BUCHANAN AND CAMERON. The Hartford

Courier says -
In 1916, when Mr.. Buchanan resigned
the Office OF Senator to 90 into Folks Cabi
net, the democrats. who had decided ina
jority in the Legislature, nominated in eau
Gus, George w. Woodward us his successor
but on going into ballot, the Legislator,
elected Simon Cameron-the wings and
portion of the democrats uniting on tina
gentleman. 1t was well understood ut tina
time that Mr.. Buchanan had thrown his in
iluencc against Woodward, who was ris
ing young man, that he did not care to sc,
elected to 40 prominent a position. Came
ron, who is ny trade printer, and who fol
some years publlsheda paper at Harrisburg
was considered shrewd tactician and man
aeer, and had been seryiceable on more thar
one occasion to Mr.. Buchanan, and had re
c@iyed even earlier iavors than that of Sen
atorship IN return. During his Senatorial
term, Cameron sustained himself with cred
it, and the friendship between him and tn,
Secretary OF State continued unbroken, un
til Cameron favored the election OF Gen
Cas-. This, of course, was an unpardona
bic ,fonse, and the two became alienatcd -
and the arrangement has continued to grow
greater. In the late canvass, Cameron sup
ported Col. Fremont.
BURGLARY. We learn from the Maine
Democrat, that sometime between Saturday
night, llth inst, and the following Monday
the Hard Ware Store of Geo. |. Goodwin
under the York Bank, Saco, was entered by
false keys, and brick, iire.proof safe brok'
en- open, containing, besides account books
small trunks and valises, belonging to seve-
raj persons, all Of which were broken open,
The only loss was some $40 in change, be.
longing to Mr.. Goodwin. His exccllcn,
stock of goods were left undisturbed The
robbers evidently were in search of that
which they failed of obtaining to any grea,
amount.
TIE CAnILs on THE WESTERN PLAINS
The accounts received from Texas in relation
tn the experiment Of domesticating the cam
ell Tor Use in the army of the United States,
on the Southwestern Plains, continue to be
most encouraging. The ANIMALS are in the
care Of a company of the Second Regiment
of Cavalry. stationed ut Camp Verde, Tex.
US, where large stables have been recently
erected by the troops for their accommoda.
ton. 1t has already been ascertaincd by
repeated experiment that more can be done
in the way of transportation by six camels
in five days than by six two mule teams in
ten days. The camels make trip from
Camp Verde to san Antonio (si1ty miles)
and return in six days, with more load than
the two wagons can possibly carry, and the
wagons usually take ten or twelve days for
the trip.
