The Presidential QuestlOn-The Cameron
Movement In Pennsylvania.

The letter which we published yesterday. from
our Harrisburg correspondent, on the increasing
popularity of the Cameron movement in Penn
sylvania for the next Presidency, when placed
in juxtaposition with the present distractions
among the democracy in Congress upon the
tariff question and other issues, may well COM
mand the attention of the calculating politicians
and scene-shifters Of all parties and factions
throughout the country.
The leading points of the case, as presented by
our correspondent in question, may be thus sum-
med up:--1. That ever since the nomination of
Gen. Simon Cameron for the Presidency, by the
NEW YORK HERALD, in June last, there has been
a growing feeling in his favor throughout the
State, 80 that there is no other politician
in the Union that could today poll so large
vote in the State. 2. That the disaffections
thrown into the ranks Of the democracy by the
antiLecompton movement have worked deep
and lasting breach in that party. 3. That nine
tenths of the anti-Lecompton boilers in the State
were friends and co-workes of Cameron when he
was in the democratic church. T. That the uni
versal demand for protection and relief amongst
the people Of Pennsylvania has forced all her
politicians to this side of the question, and has
thus brought about such powerful combinations
in the State that they cannot fail, upon the Presi
dental issuelto exert telling influence upon the
| politics Of the country.
| 1t further appears that the leaders of this
Cameron movement have been consulting upon
the policy Of calling, at an early day, a mass
meeting at Harrisburg, for the purpose offormally
trotting out Gen. Cameron upon the Presidential
course, and that the opposition elements Of the
State are pointing to Cameron as their man fol-
1860 with much Of that unanimity which cha
racterized their preliminary movements of 1889
| 40 for Harrison, and of ls47-'S for Gen. TAYLOR
On the other hand, it appears that the nomina
ion of w. II. Seward in 1860, as the republican
candidate, would be the signal for the repetition
in Pennsylvania, in an aggravated form, Of thu
triangular contest of 1856
With these significant Pennsylvania land
marks before us, the shaping Of parties and party
tactics for 1860 becomes very interesting sub
ject. AS matters now stand, Pennsylvania may
be considered as holding the balance of power
between the republican party Of the North ant
the democratic party Of the South. Unqueston
ably, the loss Of Pennsylvania in October, 1856
% the democracy, would have elected Fremont

Ten MILLION TAxATION.-It appears from the
recent communication of Mr.. Haws to the Board
OF Councilmen that poor Flagg left as legacy
to bis successor in the COmptroler's Office an alb
solute deficiency of nearly half a million of dol
lars, the result, no doubt, Of the loose and dsor
DERBY fashion in which the affairs of that depart
ment have been conducted for the last five years
Mr. Haws is at loss to account for the fact that
this deficiency had never been discovered until
he overhauled the books; but he says =
This large amount 4i5 07 30) could not have been Of
sudden accumulation and the fact that has not hereto
fore serious embarrassmens to the treasury due
10 the facility with which the city is enabled TO effect
loans and thus anticipating by the issue Of revenue bonds
in the early part of the year. receipts from taxes to be
collected the ensuing October Means thus realized have
been diverted from the specific purposes contemplated in
the tax levy but replaced by drafts on the revenues OF
the succeeding year.
Mr.. Haws proposes to add this amount to the
tax levy for 1859, as the only measure whereby
the deficiency can be provided for, and we
presume it will be so added. The tax levy
passed through the hands of the Board of Coun-
cilmen for the last time on Wednesday, upon
which occasion they cut it down $170,20O-a
wonderful stretch of economy, considering that
the additions made to it by both Boards since it
came from the Comptroller amounted to over a
million and a quarter. When the $445,307 de-
ficiency and the $4,000 for judgments are added,
as the Comptroller recommends, the tax levy
will be found to amount to ten millions-just as
we have predicted many time during the past
year

MORE TROUBLE WTTH THE MORMONs.-A tele-
graphic despatch from ST. Louis informs us that
Judge Sinclair had adjourned the Grand Jury of
Utah upon petition of nine of its members, who
alleged that the jury was unable to command the
attendance of witnesses. 1t is further stated
that there was much bad feeling between the
Gentle and Mormon members of the panel, and
that "revolvers were freely drawn" Our cor
respondence, published in another column, in
speaking of the action of the Grand Jury, makes
no mention of revolvers.
That Utah is still troubled is beyond peradven-
ture. Otherwise we should not have two or three
thousand troops there, when they can be main
tanned at much less expense elsewhere. With
the troops there are numerous camp fol-
lowers, drunken, fierce and disorderly as
camp followers always have been and al
ways will be, without doubt. There are
quarrels between these hangers on and the
Mormons, as matter of course and it is no
wonder that "revovers were freely drawn
The wonder, if any, is that they are not freely
used. Let 1t be understood that we are not de-
Tending the Mormons nor assailing the Gentiles
We believe that there is blame on both sides. In
the first place, the civil officers in Utah have not
always displayed that temperance of conduct
and calm firmness of judgment so absolutely
necessary TO the settlement Of the troubles in the
Territory. Judges Sinclair and Eckels are botf
charged with attempting to embarrass the settle
ment of affairs, by delaying the action of the
Presidents amnesty, aud thereby exaspcrating
rather than conciliating the Mormons
We do not endorse these charges but we are In
duty bound to call attention to the notorious fac
that frontier troubles, Indian wars, and 80 on, are
fostered and encouraged by contractors who ar'

another part of to-day's impression, an extended
report of the debate in the Academy of Medi-
cine, on Wednesday evening. That discussion
was instituted ostensibly to throw some light
upon the causes which operated to induce the
death of Mr.. Samuel Whitney, who had, accord
ing to Doctor Mott, q complication of diseases,
and who, according to common sense, suffered
the Whitney case commenced with statement
in Boston paper to the effect that the patients
windpipe had been punctured by DIR. Green,
and that said malpractice had caused his
death. A metropolitan journal Immediately
took . brief for the defence, and plumply
BILE conflict between the old school fashionable
physician and the new school scientific practi-
toner. Some journals were on one sde-some on
the other. The HERALD essayed to put in word
OF two for the patients of the contending schools,
and suggested that the discussion as to the
cause of Mr.. Whitney's death was futile mas
much as the most eminent of American surgeons
declined to give an opinion upon the subject
after post norton examination. AS we have
stated before, the first debate in the Academy
grew out of professional jealousy. The old
school physician was angry at the idea that he
should lose patient. The modern savant lost
his temper in thinking of the stupidity of the
old fogies. So there was elimination and recri-
mination, but the public gained nothing. We
cannot see that anything further has been deve-
loped by the second debate. It has not been
proved that the use of nitrate of silver in dis
eases of the throat and lungs is safe, proper
and efficaciOus method of treatment; neither has
it been established that such treatment has been
attended with beneficial results. 1t is not held
by the opponents of DR.. Green that Mr.. Whitney 8
death was caused by that physicians treatment,
and the Academy adopted a resolution white
washing all parties CONCERNED in the matter. The
esprit du corps of the profession reused to the
defence of its pretended infallibilty.
Had the doctors only thought of washing their
dirty line at home little earlier in the day. the
upon the whole subject, important as it is But
now the disagreement among the doctors has
opened the eyes of many Of their patients, who
demand to know why Mr.. Whitney died. The
Academy cannot tell; the Academy satisfies it
self by saying that none of us did it.
Now, the public naturally argues in this
way: If the most eminent surgeons can
not arrive at any conclusion as to the cause
of death from a post norton examination, is
it probable that he OF any other surgeon can
diagnose correctly from external symptoms in
life? And the public answers itself in the mega
tive. We are forced to the conclusion that the
physicians are all in the wrong and entirely in
the dark, so far as the true theory of the causes
of disease is concerned, and that they, from lack
of proper basis for their diagnosis, kill more
than they cure. This is the popular impression,
and the debates in the Academy Of Medicine
would seem to fortify rather than to dispel it.
