Immediately after the election wac over,
and that the Two mcmNora with whom
Patterson HaIl Cameron Wo3 also he treaty
who were in the cars on their way &C.
philudclplip should rcturn IN Saturday
We constituted tho fact that, If thcy were
sent of, the House would not go into an
election, and our agreement could not TO
consummulol. This statement seemed to
determine his mind IN favor of the ws
ylsy,aa.ut. Patterson won't Immediately
tn Cameron, who was In tho car, and ro'
turned IN a few minutes, stating TINT, al
though Cameron regarded tho prico Dig,
no would pay il in order to save further
trouble, mud would, therefore, not Shy
anything to the members thcn on Their
way to Philadelphia, and that they might
return, aud thus prevent any d~isar4angeN
mont Of Tho plan that might arise from
their absence. Saturday evening was
then agreed upon ~ the time fer tho noZt
interview. stopped at Reading 80 did
Patterson, who returned that Same even
ing to Harrisburg. Cameron went TO
Philadelphia. | came up on Saturday
evening, and found Cameron IN the train,
"a we'll as at least one Of the men who
went to Philadelphia tho day before, snd
] think both. At the depot at Harrisburg
| mot Patterson, who said tho interview
would be at Don Camcron's. According
ly Patterson and myself went diroc! to
the house, aud found tho General there
ahead of us. lie invited us up stairs, and,
by q dismal light, We agreed upon the
price, viz: Cameron asscntcd to the bar
gain between Patterson and myself by
agreeing to pay tho $50, COOS, 900 OF
which was to be paid in hAnd-and would
deposit it in Patterson's hands in my
presence at some future interview, SUBJ
jeot 10 my inspection. A little incident
which occurred hero it would be a pity to
Jose to tho world. After the bargain was
concluded Simo m Strengthened up on his
chair, rubbing his legs with his hands,
spying, well, this cnd8 it. Twill be Sen
ator and You shall never regret it, lads
dressing himself to mo)-"l will be the
most powerful man in that Senate; the
onlirc state Of affairs Of this Government
will DO changed; nothing is moro certain
than that the South will gain her indo'
pendence, this sounded like treason, )and
Then we will hold the control Of the Gov
eminent and / will be able 10 serve my
friends :" and so we parted again, to dream
OF Southern Confederacies and WInnebaN
goes for Senator. Patterson and then
agreed to meet on Monday.
We met at 5 o'clock, in Pattorson's room
at Hers on Monday afternoon. Here
Patterson told mo be had the IS, 600 hand

hand money. This | deemed necessary
to keep up tho delution. We then parted
to moot at the same place early the next
morning. Immediately after breakfast

and inform him Of my willingness 10 vote
for Cameron in case he was nominated
To this ! made some pretended objection
and demanded to know The necessity 'ol
it. Simon said it was this, that unless
