Cameron said no Senator or Representative
of Pennsylvania had been consulted in the

II isIthis tensciOus disposition on the part
Of The President to make slates or his own
that break the states of the Senators and Re-
.pressntHtiEess often times, which has given
rise to all the grdmbling at him. If Senator
Rosa is the only one the President has had
occasion 10 order out of his presence for dis
respectful treatment iu ft of temper on
this account, it is to be feared that it is not
for lack of nvmsrous fits of temper, on the
same account They were held ina little
better sdBjectiOb. Thatis slI. ~
THE AIeHr AND WRONG OF IT.
II must.bseoneeded that State delegations
are better sequsinted than the President,
With their party needs and wishes in their
respective localities, spd with the fitness of
men relatively theret and With them,
therefore, wisdom clearly dictates selections
should be LEFT The President is not given
.his place BY the people to crafty his more
personal preferences, or any princely love
be may have Of dispensing favors direct with
his own hands. He is to see that provision
is made for a faithful and efficient execution
Of the Law; and for that purpose, may exer-
else a veto power upon selections; but not
refuse the choice of q locality on any other
ground; because the locality, as represented |
By the. delegation, is the best Judge Of the |
ergFounds, Foreign appointments how
ever, are exceptional. A Minister is of
necessity'tO be taken from some locality; |
hut his duties are not local. They are not
even connned 10 his own nation, here no |
State delegation can presume to be the best
judge ofthe matter paramount in the case.
The selection ab ilitis more properly belongs
To the President and his Secretary Of State,
as Representatives of all the States as ma
tiOb, The Secretary of State is supposed
to have a foreign policy to be promoted in
Russia, respecting which the Pennsylvania
delegation is no better judge than that of
New York. Why, then, should one con-
suited more than the other about the person
to be employed in itf Here, tits submitted,
the President was right, and Senator Came
ron wrong. The Senatorial veto power, with
its sintelligent Committee on Foreign Rsla-
tiohs, is ali else needed. 'g'

TnE EvDEEcEs of economy manifes-
ted by the new administration are sure
indications that all useless expenditures
will be Topped of. Over 800 uuneces-
sary clerks have been discharged from
the Fourth Auditors Office Of the Treas
ury Department, recently. Their uni
ted wages amounted to nearly half a
million dollars. This was one Of the
abuses of the johnson Administration,
an expense for which no adequate re-
turn of service was made, and now is
dispensed with, The forces in the 9TH
er departments are being reduced in
like manner. There will also be stea-
dy reduction of the public debt les
seniug of the interest and a gradual
lifting of the burdens forced upon the
country by the Shareholders rebellion.

1 CAN'T BELIEVE

That Gen. Butler would complain of
female clerk, to the Secretary of the Treasury,
that she had insulted him in a horse car by
saying something about "spOons, with the
purpose OfhsviDg her dismissed; yet got
it for q fact from 3 private source deserving
of credit. Such an act on the part of a
woman would be very low and annoying;
but Gen. Butler stands too high to get down
within noticing distance oft. Besides thai
the clerk declares that she never dreamed Of
such an act, and that the General is mistaken
in the person. She is a Democrat, sure
enough, being the widow Of a Democrat,
Mr. Rely. at one time writer for the Dem
Ocratic Review, and an office holder in
Washington by the grace of President Pierce;
and having been given her political faith by
her husband who cannot come back from the
grave to absOlVs her from it, she holds to

Death of DR.. Edison b. olds.

DR.. EDsoN b. OLDs died suddenly
at his residence in Lancaster on SUM-
day night. DIR. Olds was native of
Vermont, and emigrated to Ohio at
an early day in the history of our
State, locating at Circleville, where
for many years he practiced as ply
sician. On retiring from that profess
sion he engaged i'll mercantile pursuits,
at which he continued to the time of
his death. DIR. Olds occupied very
prominent position in politics, having
represented his district in Congress
from 1S49 to 1855. He also served
some eight years in the Legislature of
Ohio, being at one time Speaker OF
the Senate. He was man of re-
markable vigor of mind, and as a
stump speaker was excelled by few.
In 1862 he was arrested for supposed
disloyalty and incarcerated in the Gov
ernment Bastile at Fort Lafayette
For several years Dr.. OLDs has coll
fined his attention to mercantile pur-
suits at Lancaster. His last political
service was that of a delegate to the
Democratic National Convention al
New York in July last. AT the time
of his death he was about seventy
years of age.
