CAMERON AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

A Washington dispatch, of the
18th, says: Senator Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, arrived here rather
unexpectedly to his friends this ev-
enlng. 1t is understood that the
venerable Senator was telegraphed
for to Harrisburg by certain parties
interested in the changes about to
take place in the cabinet. As al
ready stated in these dispatches
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Delano is the especial protege and
candidate for Secretary of the In
terror in place of General Cox. 1t
is stated that since the announce
ment of Delano as the probable
successor of Cox was made public
some doubts have arisen as to Del
amos appointment. The story goes
that Cameron's presence here at
this time as to make sure of the little
arrangement entered into by old
Zach. Chandler, of Michigan, and
himself, to put Delano into the In
terror Department. Cameron was
met at the depot this evening by
Mr.. Delano, and after brief con-
sultation Cameron proceeded to the
White House and had long inter
view with the President. The re-
suit of it is not yet known, but it is
believed Cameron, as usual, carried
his point.

October Elections.

The result of the October elec-
tions, summed up, is as follows: The
Republicans have carried Pennsyl.
vania, but have lost two members OF
Congress. The Republicans have
carried Ohio by double the majority
of last fall; Congressional delega-
tion same as it was. The Republi-
cans have lost Indiana by less than
1900 votes, and two members of Con
gress. While the small Democratic
gain gives them the state, yet it is so
small that it furnishes no ground
for discouragement in the future.
They are beaten by an average of
but one rote in each election precinct,
while there were probably twenty
five Republicans in each district
who absented themselves from the
polls. The Democrats turned out a
little better than their opponents,
and thereby carried the state. In
Iowa, Nebraska, and South Carolina,
the Republicans made clean sweep
by increased majorities.

Mr.. Binqham's Reelection.

The reelection of Hon. John A.
Bingham in the 10th District, by an
increased majority, is one of the
most gratifying results of the cam
paign. Mr.. Bingham, detested by
the Democratic party, for his ability
as a party leader, is the special OBJ
ject of Democratic hatred. Two
years ago the ablest opponent, and
perhaps the most popular Democrat
in the district, was nominated to
oppose Mr.. Bingham. Money was
spent freely; the press of the op-
position teemed with abuse and false
statements, and by every artifice i'm
aginable his defeat was sought.
Politicians from this county were
imported to aid in the one grand
object of the Democracy of the 18th
district-the defeat of Bingham.
The result is known. After an eX
citing canvass, Mr.. Bingham was
elected by 416 majority. Again this
fall the work of defeating Bingham
was attempted, by putting against
him Robert f. Chambers, Belmont
county man, unknown except for his
opposition to. the Federal Govern
ment during the war. A man infer
ior to Mr.. Estep in ability and prin
ciples; and the result has been even
more disastrous to the Democracy
Mr.. Bingham's majority beng
nearly if not altogether 500. The
Republicans of the 18th have done
nobly in returning so able man as
Mr.. Bingham to do battle for the
party in the Congress of the nation.

A singular accident occurred on
the Erie Railway, over year ago,
near Patterson, n. j. A freight train
containing several fiat cars loaded
with railroad iron, was passing the
Cincinnati express, and one of the
iron rails extended so far from the
car upon which it was loaded as to
enter the side Of one of the passen-
ger cars, sweeping several passen-
gers from their seats, fatally injur-
ing Mr.. H. C. Buckley, of Cochecton,
N. Y, and wounding Mr. William
Smith, then of Honesdale, Penn, in
the spine so badly that he was COM
PEELED to lie in New York for nearly
three months. Upon becoming able
to get about, Mr. Smith brought suit
against the company, in the Sullivan
County Court, placing his damages
at $4,000. The suit has been de-
cided and he was awarded $4,000.
Mr. Smith is still cripple, and has
been unable to attend to business
since the accident, and the award of
damages is considered to be INSULT
cient even to make good a small
share of his losses.

The Soldiers Home.

The Soldiers at the Dayton Ma
tional Home, having been denied
their right to vote, at the regular
poll, opened poll Of their own at
the institution. They cast over
three hundred votes for Schenck
and the Republican State and county
tickets. They are determined to
have q settlement of the question
whether, by reason of their misfor-
tunes incurred in the service of
the country, they are to be disfran-
chised in the enlightened and patri-
otic State of Ohio. The pretense
that this has been finally settled by
the courts, is an assumption as idle
as it is audacious. In our opinion
they are better entitled to a vote
than those who did not fight to save
our nation. With their vote Schenck
would have been elected by several
hundred majority. Shame to any
set of men that will try to prevent
them from voting.

THE WAR.

The German troops occupying st
Quentin and besieging La Ferte St
Aubin have been withdrawn, one
account says to go to Paris. An
other account says it is rumored that
battle has been fought near La
Ferte st. Aubin, and the hasty move
ment from that place is the result OF
the Prussians having been defeated.
At scissors the French prisoners
mutinied, and in sappressing the
disturbance several were killed, ac-
counts differing as to the number.
A story is current that the bonn
bardment of Paris is to be opened
November 1st. The story is proba-
bly, as reliable as the reports fixing
that event for the 10th and then the
18th of the present month.
Peace rumors again thicken the
air. England is certainly hard at
work endeavoring to secure at least
an armistice, for tine purpose of per-
mitting the election of a Constitu-
ent Assembly, in the hope that in
this way an arrangement may be
brought about. If any reliance can
be placed in the reports it would
seem that the proposition is favor
ably received by Prussia, but that
France, nettled by the refusal OF
England to move at the French re-
quest a short time since, and en-
boldened by the delay in the Prus-
sian operations before Paris, is dis
posed to spurn the mediation of
England. The French journals say
that pertde Al6ion turned a deaf
ear to the cry of France in distress,
but is quick to respond when Prus-
sia, in its perplexity, asks interven-
ton.

LOOK AT OHIO IN THE NEXT CON-
GRESS.

We have magnificent delegation
in the next Congress from Ohio
Shellabarger, Garfield, Bingham,
Perry, Monroe, Beatty, Stevenson.
What other State can present such
an array of able men? With Sher-
man in the Senate, Chase and
Swayne in the Supreme Court, and
Delano at the head of the Revenue
Department, Ohio may well be proud
of her statesmen, and of her stand
in the Union. Sustained at home
and honored abroad, it is a great
pleasure to look at this splendid ar
ray of noble men, and to know that
they represent the grand Republican
party of Ohio in the councils of the
Great Republic.

SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATIONS.

The Yale College scientific party,
in charge of Prof. Marsh, have re-
turned to Fort Bridger, having spent
six weeks in examining the geology
of the Eastern Uintah Mountains
and the country between the Green
and White rivers. This region was
unexplored, and proved of much
scientific interest. An ancient lake
basin was discovered, containing
great numbers of extinct crocodiles,
turtles, serpents and fishes, with
many remains of the rhinoceros and
other tropical animals, most of which
are new to science. Lieut.. Wann
and detachment from the 18th U.
S. Infantry acted as an escort to the
expedition. The party are all well
and will start soon for Salt Lake and
California.

Senator Morton has formally de-
clined the mission to England, Civ
ing as a reason for doing SO that in
the event of his resignation as Sen

cessor from their own party. Set
ting forth the improperly of such
a course on his part in connection
with the interests of the admins
tration, he cordially thanks the Pres

rendering to the mission, and it is
understood the President replied. in
terms equally friendly.

Loss of the Ocean Steam.
ship Cambria.
Statement of a Survivor.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Late on the
evening of the 21st, word reached
Londonderry that the steamer Cam
bria, of the Anchor line, had been
wrecked off the coast of Donegal
Information was brought to that city
by the only survivor, John McGant-
land, steerage passenger.
The intelligence was at first dis
believed, but has since been confirm
ed. Telegraph lines have been dis
arranged by the recent storms, and
the following summary of McGant-
lands narrative has just got through
from London.
The voyage from New York was
generally fortunate, Notwithstanding
unpleasant weather prevailed most
of the time until the night of We'd
nesday, Oct 18th, between ten and
eleven o'clock. The Cambria was
then under sail and steaming rapidly:
suddenly, when all was apparently
going well, she struck on NIistraline
Island, a small, rocky island, ten
miles west of Donegal, and thirty
miles west of Londonderry. The
vessel instantly began to fill through
the large holes stove in the bottom.
and the fires were soon extinguish-
ed. 1t became evident that the
steamer was hopelessly lost, and eff
forts were, therefore, directed to save
the lives of the passengers who were
massed upon the deck. Four boats.
crowded with passengers, put off
from the sinking steamer. McGant
land entered one of these and he saw
no more of the ship or the other
boats. He thinks there is no doubt
that all the boats were swamped, and
that he is the only survivor. Almost
instantly upon getting into the boat
it capsized, and he lost conscious
ness. Upon reviving he found him
self in the sea but grasping the gun
vale of the boat which had righted.
He succeeded in getting in the boat
a second time and found the dead
body of a lady, dressed in black
silk. Mr.. McGantland was tossed
about many hours, when he was
picked up by the Enterprise. Cap
tain Gillespie, who cruised about
the scene of the disaster for long
time in hope Of saving life and
McGantland says at almost the
very time of the disaster, passengers
and crew were congratulating them
selves on the tempestous voyage
being nearly finished, and rejoicing
in the fact that in one short hour
more they would land at Moville.
There were certainly one hundred
and eighty souls on board, and
perhaps more.

Has just received a new inven-
ton, in the way of an improve
ment in Ladies' Boots. The boot is
made high in the leg, with elastic
sides. The improvement consists
in arranging the elastic and lin
ing, that the elastic will clasp the
ankle; and the lining, while pro-
tecting the elastic from the sweat
of the foot, will also yield to its
contraction and expansion. Its
great beauty is this: that it is
easy to put on, fits snugly when
on, and protects the foot and limb
from cold. 1t will certainly be a
favorite with the ladies. Samples
can be seen at his shop.

Tho Raid on Cnnndn.

Contrary to our belief the Fcnians have
made raid on the dominion Of Canada. We
did not imagine that any such consumma'e
folly would be attempted. But the last week
has seen it begun and ended There has been
q commoiion all along the line and two points
have been assailed. The result IN both cases
was cmincntly disastrous TO the raiders
They lost several lives, few were taken
prisoners, and the main bodies were driven
back in q hurried retreat ONcil lies in
prison at Burlington, and Donncly has lost his
life. The defeated and di-hcartcncd invaders
are returning as best they can to their homes,
sadder if not wiser men, While we have al
ways had a sort Of sympathetic interest in Ire
land, and felt little quicker pulse at the
recollection Of her wrongs while too, we
should sympathizo 10 any hopeful attempt
she should make to secure lor freedom, we
confess that we have no sympathy with these
Fcnian scarcs and nrees Woe do not see how
any object worth securing TO ireland can be
gained by this futile and crazy warfare. We
do sec. however, how every interest that
