We have no desire to underrate the
prsvity OF the situation. We have been
unted out of Pennsylvania, which we
should have carried. We could easily
have dispensed with its votes in the
Electoral College, but the moral effect
OF the loss is depressing to q greater
extent than the number Of Electoral
votes would indicate. The work is

Our Railroad Prospects.

We returned from Pittsburgh few
days ago by the river route, and on The
boat had frequent opportunities OF con-
versing with intelligent residents OF va
rious localities along the river in regard
10 the prospects OF the Pittsburgh
West Virginia and Charleston railroad
now under construction. Althoug gt
there are in this community some
doubling Thomases, who would fair
make it appear that the road will never
reach Morgantown, or at least will be 9
long time in doing so, yet the people
farther down the river have no douhr.
upon the subject. The confidence with
them is universal that the road is moi
only bound to go through, and 10 &c
clear through to its southern connec'
tions, but that i will do so at the earli-
est practical period.
The road is already in running order
some ten miles this side OF Pittsburgh.
The grading has been completed to
Monongahela city. and the ties are
being shipped, ready for laying, just as
they can be procured Next month
contracts for construction will be let a.
far as to Millsboro. and there seems u
be scarcely a doubt that the end Of q
year from this date will zee the iron
horse prsncing up the Monongahela to
the near vicinity OF Morgantosn.-Con

CamerOn's Interview with the Pres
fdent-Hs Demands the ProscrfP-
tiOn of Forney and Curtin.
In the last few days, and since the re.
turns from Pennsylvania began 10 come
in, there has been a tremendous waste
OF enthusiasm in behalf OF old Simon
Cameron. 1t was asserted in the vari
GUS Administration quarters that the
dis graced ex Secretary ot War had sc
redeemed himself, and rendered such
valuable service to the party, that he
was meant to be the coming man, and
the Administration mouth.pice, il
Grant was reelected. While the old
public functionary's praises were in ev
erybody' mouth, be turned up here last
night, and adjulation gave way to sur
prise.
Last Friday, Cameron visited. the
President, and, notwithstanding the
fact that the Cabinet awaited the
presence of the head OF the Govern
ment, had long and confidential in'
terview. He demanded OF the Presi'
dent that all those so,calIed Repuhli'
cans who had worked against the
Hartranit ticket be no longer recog
nized in good standing in the Repuhli'
can party. CONSPICUOUS among this
prescription list were Ex-Governor Cur
tin and Colonel Forney. The Presi-
dent, in response to this demand, told
Cameron that all these mem pro-
fessed to be friends OF his, and that lie
would not interfere in such cases to
aid aud abet local qusrrels and dissen-
sions. At this Cameron became very
defiant. He left the White House and
returned to his rooms at the hotel
where he held interviews with several
prominent local callers. To these he
was extremely communicative. Among
other things he said he was going to
start q newspaper in Philadelphia,
which should have capital Of $780,
900, to be devoted to advocating the
ring and all it's interests. He thought
that at least moiety OF this sum should
come from the National Campaign Com.
mittee funds. He also stated that he had
spent $4,000 out OF his own pocket
in behalf OF Hartranft, and that Dom
Cameron's checks had been given for
at least an equal amount He was oI

be reimbursed from the same source, 1t
