THE CAMERON CANARD.


The rejoicing is very general that Senator
Cameron is not only alive, but well as usual.
The telegram announcing that he had suf-
fered q paralytic stroke created profound
sensation not only in this community but
throughout the State. The generous, sympa-
thizing masses were sad that another indus
trious reaper was about to gather his sheaves
for the great garner, and pass away from
amongst u.s. Here and there it may be that
there were those who felt that the long halt
had come for another friend, and a silent
tear may have fallen as tribute to some
grateful memory. We do not know of such,
but cit might have been, for there must be
Some sunny memories to twine as loving
tendrils about every life, even as the ivy
clings to the mouldering waste.
Nor was sorrow confined to the offices of
common humanity and friendship. There
were those who trembIed with grief at the
rumor that ttheinexorable messenger had come
to the house of Lochiel These were as
SCISSORS and assistant assessors, and collectors
and assistant collectors, aud appraisers and
assistant appraisers, and weighers, and
gaugers, and postmasters, and tidewaiters,
and bummers, from chiefs TO rank and file,
and all their assistants and fedgelings, not
to count the innumerable throng who cherish
bright hopes and prolific promises of dazzling
promotion in the honors of the Government
These were all sad. They mourned as men
without hope. And behind them were other
countless hosts whose visions of contracts
and punder were sadly dimmed by briuy
streams of grief. Thus did sorrow peryade
every class and condition o. mankind, and
darkness prevailed over the hopes of the
multitude. And all-all because Colonel
Forney's dinner with the Winnebage Chief
"was exceedingly well served"
The better men of all parties will sincerely
rejoice that Senator Cameron is enjoying his
usual vigorous health, and that he bids fair
to serve his term in the Senate with his
faculties undated. His death just at this
time would be most untimely for the general
good. His political success is strangely ex-
ceptional and should he fall before he reaps
as he has sown, he would leave many behind
him ambitious to initiate him. Just when
the Republican party is about to hurl its ter
rible retribution upon his studied and re-
morseless wrongs, his protracted life involves
rare and most salutary lesson to the swarm
of pretenders he has spawned upon the body
polite. He has long held the Republican
party in leading strings. The mighty issues
involved in Republican success made
1t possible for a great party to live
and triumph with such running sore gnaw-
ing at its yitals, and his insatiate and unscru-

THE WAR NEWS.


Tar reports from Europe in regard to the
progress and probable termination of the
war between Germany and France continue
to be of a confusing and contradictory charac-
ter. The future course of events remains
now nearly as much matter of speculation
as ever. The capture of Paris was looked
forward to some weeks ago as the decisive
blow of the war; but the arrangements for its
defense seem to be, for the present, complete.
It has been demonstrated that the Ger
mans cannot make an effective attack
upon the French capital before they have
placed large number of heavy siege guns In
advantageous positions, and 1t is mooted
military question whether General Trochu
will not be prepared, by the time these guns
reach the German camp, to make series of
sorties by which Paris will be relieved from
the dangers of bombardment aud starvation.
If the Frenchmen have not lost all the
martial spirit of their ancestors, the events
of the last three months must have greatly
increased the available fighting strength of
the nation, for there should be now, for every
regular French soldier killed, wounded, or
captured, half a dozen tolerably we'll
drilled French volunteers: and
if a few more weeks of comparative
inactivity continue, during which the Ger
man armies are depleted by sickness and the
French forces in Paris and elsewhere are be-
coming better armed and better drilled, it is
within the bounds of possibility that the in
vaders may be successfully attacked. Partly
in view of this contingency, partly in conse-
ouence of the complaints in Germany of the
distresses caused there by the war, and partly
on account of the danger that prolongation
of the contest may lead to general
European complication, it is said
that Prussia is becoming strongly disposed
to grant an armistice and to accept moderate
terms of peace. France has been so deeply
humiliated, and portions of her territory have
been so terribly despoiled, that she has a
growing disposition to bid defiance to fate
and to seek consolation in the desperate
belief that any change the future may have
in store must be for the better, while Prussia
is apparently animated by desire to realize
tangible and fixed rewards of some kind
for her many brilliant victories. One
of the latest rumors is that the irrepress-
BILE conflict arising from the German demand
for territory on the one hand, and the stub
born refusal of France to cede an inch of her
own soil on the other, is to be reconciled by
the Prussian acquisition of Luxembourg.
Other rumors embody other theories of ad-
Justment, as we'll as contradictory reports in
regard to the future government of France,
and the controlling motives of Russia, Aus
tria, Italy, and England From this maze of
contradictions the fact seems to loom out that
the tendency of the military and political
events of the last month has been to mode
rate the German demands, and that France
has better chance of making peace On COM
paratively favorable terms to-day than she
had at the time of Favres interview with Bis
narck.

THE REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAI.-The Great West
wants the national capital removed from the banks
OF the Potomac, and in furtherance of this scheme
q convention was organized in Cincinnati to-day.
The convention was to have been composed Of three
delegates from each Congressional district six from
each State at large, three from each Territory and
three from the District of Columbia to be appointed
by the Governors OF States and Territories respec-
lively, ard by the Mayor OF Washington, or by a
convention called for that purpose. Some OF the
authorities designated in the programme have ap-
pointed delegates, and there is expected to be
full representation OF the discontented sections Of
the country. The call in pursuance of which the
convention is held concluded In the following
terms:-
"lt is believed that the convention thus called will
have power by wise action, to express the wishes
Ind shape the effort OF the majority OF the people
TO destroy ali hope OF successful opposition, and to
provide without needless delay for the removal to
its new and permanent home.
Sand we invoke the interest and the co-opera-
ton of all friends of removal to the end that this
convention, in numbers and in character, may not
be unworthy of the occasion and the interests COM
mltted to It.

the meantime the necessity for them is in
creasing every day, and it is therefore impor-

should commence the work of building as

Yesterday, about o clock in the morn

and store lately the properly of Mr.. Sea-
vey. 1t appears that parties who have
been interested n the introduction of gas
oline as an Illuminating fluid, had several
barrels Of IL Ill store there. In moving
them, some of them were so placed as to
leak, and the owners were trying TO place
them so they would not. Considerable
gasoline had already run out on the :tioor
The light was brought too near one OF the
barrels, which was saturated OUTSIDE with
it, and it become ign,tcd. In the mean
time, the fluid Inch had leaked out had
been largely converted into gas, and this
too ignited and exploded, just as the gas
in coal mine, called fire damp, explodes.
This explosion exhibited even greater fore"
in the second story than IN the lower,
where the gasoline was; probably because
the gas had passed up the stairway. Eg-
cry window was broken, aud IN some in
stances the sash were broken and carried
away. 0ne door was forced from its
hinges. The flames followed the cxpo-
sion, filling all the lower story Peopl,
were promptly on hand with buckets and
water, but the gasoline foated on tho wa

brought from Rotworth's and set playing

The explosion took place, and doubtless
fully within the volume of gas, and to this
