A CARD FROM COL. A. X. CLURE.
Col. Alexander X. Mcclure of Pennsylvania,
long known In that State political opponent OF the
Hon simon Cameron. publishes a letter over his own
signature in The Phiddeiphia Erening Telegraph, in
which he asserts that Mr. Cameron did not voluntarily
withdraw from the Cabinet OF President Lincoln.
The card Is suggested by the following pas

The Atlantic Monthly for February; He tMr Cameron
proposed resign should be appointed not un

his suggestion, accepted his resignation ana TEND

Clure says that Mr.. Cameron was removed from
the War Department by Mr.. Lincoln without previous
notice; that he received letter telling him that MT
Stanton had been, would be, nominated TO succeed
him. and that the President had determined TO appoint
him Cameron to the Russian Ministry TINS letter was
delivered by Secretary Chase. Col. Mcclure says
he saw this letter soon after it was delivered, ana
remembers the Indignation with which 1t was received
by Mr. Cameron. The letter concludes as follows Inc

POLITICAL.
PENNSYLVANIA.
HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

We see story which comes from Harris
burg to the effect that fund OF 100000, raised by the
Philadelphia Police force to defeat the Metropolitan
Police bill for that city, pOcketed by the eminent
Democrats to whom 1t had been ntrusted for dstribu
ton. A similar haul land, we think OF larger sum-
made at Albany few years ago by couple of well
known lobbyists, who had contracted to pur
chase the votes of certain Senators aud
Members in favor OF railroad scheme
but finally concluded to invest the money for their owD
benefit. Notwithstanding the general sentiment that
there should be honor among thieves think that per
who will contribute money to be corruptly used IN
procuring or preventing legislation served exactly
right when their agents divert the funds so contributed
The public will be gratifed to know that its unfaithfu
servants do not have opportunity to finger such filthy
ucre and the time Will not fail TO estimate at
their proper value both thosewho contribute and those
who steal corruption funds.
