Cameron after Money-Also after
forney.

Specials to leading journals state
that Cameron was in Washington
last Friday, it being his second Wis
it there in ten days. 1t is reported
that his object was to secure if pos
sible a. reimbursement by the Ma
tional Committee of the sum of
500, 900 alleged to have been ad-
vanced by him and his son Don
Cameron for corruption purposes in
Pennsylvania, and also to promote
the war upon Forney and the Phil
adelphia Press for opposition to the
ring ticket. Cameron visited the
departments and, it is said, de-
manded of them that the Govern
ment advertising should be at once
withdrawn from the Press. He has
notified the Administration that
arrangements are making to start a
new Republican paper at Philadel-
phia, with capital Of three humid
red thousand dollars, SO as to break
down Forney's Press. It was an
nOunced that the President had in
timated purpose not to interfere
in the quarrel between FOrney and
Cameron but it would seem that
Cameron is disposed to use his pre-
sent power to force Grant into tax
ing sides before the November cleo
ton shall put the President more at
his ease.

The Civil War in Arkansas.

The Memphis Appeal of Monday
contains some further accounts of
the outrageous proceedings of the
negroes in Mississippi county, Ark.
It says:
Passengers by the steamer Julia,
which arrived down last night,
bring intelligence of the dircful re-
newal of hostilities by the negro
desperate Fitzpatrick. Having ga
thered some scores of desperate
vagabonds along the river, and be-
ing maddened by the hard life and
rough usage of the weeks cam
paign, he vowed vengeance on all
whites. He burned the cabins of
the poor in his course, and spread
desolation. He was met by Bowen
and his men sooner than he expect
ell, and a rafting battle was fought
Yesterday morning. Fitzpatrick's
men were totally routed, and the
leader himself barely escaped with
his life. He is reported wrecked
on a sand bar in the river, having
failed i'm an attempt to cross over to
the Tennessee side. 1t Is conf
IDENTIFY expected that he will he
captured and pnt to death. His
little rebellion is now at an end,
and the negroes of all that part of
Arkansas will suffer for his crimes
for many a long day. The Govern
or will, it is said, restore order
there right away, and will appoint
another Register instead of Fitz-
patrick.

ELECTORAL TICKET.
Public Speaking.

Last Wednesday night, there was
. joint discussion at the court
house between Judge Campbell, the
Elector for Greeley and Brown in
this District, and Hon. j. s. Morris,
the Attorney General Of the State.
Judge Campbell made a speech
which for solid and irresistible ar
pument in favor of, and supporting
the Liberal movement. for bright,
luminous exposition of the glorious
and patriotic aims of that party,
has had no equal in this canvass.
1t was an effort which would have
done honor to the Senate Of the
United States, and which, as an
effort on the stump, has never been
surpassed, in our humble opinion.
Mr.. Morris in his opening speech
seemed to address himself entirely
to the white people. seeming desir-
ous that their passions and preju-
dices should he fired mp into aban-
doning Mr.. Greeley; this he found
of no avail, and that Judge Camp
bell. meeting the present issues fair
and square, had carried all fair
minded men, white or black, with
him; hence, in his reply to the unan-
swerable speech and argument of
the champion of Mr.. Greeley and
Reform, he endeavored to stir up
the prejudices alone of the black
men present-a most unworthy way,
we think, for the States Attorney
General to disport himself.
Petty stealing on the part of the
black men, Mr.. Morris thought a
small matter compared with the
Wholesale peculation of white men
Thus, instead of elevating, educat
ing, refining the blacks and making
them to be respected Of all men,
Judge Morris, by his talk, whether
lie meant its effect to be SO or not,
tends to demoralize the very race he
30 much affects to love.
Gen. Morris is a man of brains,
and he is not in his element in the
role he is playing. He may ride into
the Governorship next time in this
way, but his name and fame would
last longer and be more revered, if
he supported Greeley and Brown
and confined himself to law prac
tice.

What Mr.. GreeIey's Election Means.

That spotless patriot and distin-
guished statesman. Hon. Geo. Fl.
Pendleton, of Ohio, like our own
Jubal Early and II. NJ. 7. Hunter.
thinks he should yield personal feel
ing to the united voice of his party.
In q recent speech in Ohio, he
pointed out what the election of the
sage of Cbappaqua would do for
our plundered and prosecuted coun-
try. Abiding to the marshaliug of
the yeomanry for the overthrow of
Grant, he said:
Gentlemen, the significance of
this mighty movement is-we have
been tOld-reconciliatiO and puri-
fication. 1t il this, and it is more.
1t is-we have been told-a l,ure
Administration of constitutional
Legislation. 1t is this, and it is
more. Its highest signlfi canoe, it's
chiefest value is, that beneath the
struggle of party, and animated
them, too, there is in the American
heart love of country, spirited
patriotism, which rises in the pre-
sence of the country's peril, and
speaks to stiffness every aspiration
except for its safety. That spirit is
abroad now that spirit calls and
cOnsOlidates its force now; 1t an
peals TO you all, Democrats and Re.
publicans alike. While it appeals
to your patriotism. it promises safe
ty to your material interests: to
protection abroad and
freedom from oppression at home
to manufacturers, stability in legis-
lation to agriculture, exemption
from the weight of unequaled tax
alton to capital freedom ION gov

the free enjoyment of the results of |

Indiana and Victory.
, the New York Tribune. 10TH

From the New York Tribune, l0th-l
Writing before the October cleo
lions. we said: ss If our friends car
nv either one of the three States we
shall have the better chance of sue
cess in November. The other side
must carry all three to give them
the better prospect"
We hare carried one of them, and
the one most desperately contested.
We have overthrOwrr the ablest of
the cabal that led the President to
his ruin-we would say also the
most INSCRIPTIONS, if, in this hour
of Pennsylvania shame, we could
forget Simon Cameron. ThOs. A.
Hendricks is elected Governor of
Indiana.
We have no desire to underrate
the gravity of the situation. We
have been counted out of PennsyI-
vania, which we should have car
ried. We could have easily dispcns-
ed with its votes in the Electoral
College but the moral effect Of the
loss is depressing. to a greater ex.
| tent than the number of electoral
votes would indicate. The work is
made harder for us in New York,
harder for our brethren i'll all the
States we mean to carry, by the
triumph of Cameron's money in the
success of the Penitentiary candi-
date. From this day till the first
Tuesday of November, We shall
have upon US steady, continuous
strain.
But we shall win! Our Liberal
Republicans did we'll in Pennsyl-
vania. In parts of Ohio they won
signal victory, while the Grant ma
jority in the State is handsomely
reduced. In Indiana the Liberal
and Democratic victory has been
won in the face of such lavish efforts
to kill the free SURFACES of State
by Importation and by midnight
ciphering as even Morton never be-
fore attempted, and neither he nor
anybody can again achieve.
And now we are in the open field !
1t is no longer possible to cOncen-
trate a Cabinet, Treasury, all the
patti onage and all the money of the
National Administration on two or
three States. Thirty-seven States
cannot be gagged in night, like
North Carolina and Pennsylvania,
or over-powered by sheer weight
like Maine. On the broad-field the
contest assumes fairer aspect
and Indiana gives us the omen OF
victory. Under her inspiration the
splendid Liberal Republican and
Democratic organizations in Illinois
declare they can win and, knowing
their work and their power, we be-
lieve them. Consider once more the
list of States as it may fairly be
placed to day, in the light of the
elections within week in Georgia,
Connecticut aud Indiana.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
No Signs of Faltering in the
Liberal Column.

The reports that have reached us
from the great political centres
since the recent elections, show nc
signs of dependency among the
opposers of Grantism. but on the
contrary their determination to con.
tinue the contest with confidence
Of victory. General Brinkerhoff,
Chairman Of the Liberal Republi-
can Committee in Ohio, sends out
an address saying:
1t has been conceded on all
hands that the loss to Grant in Oc-
tober of either of the three great
central States then voting, would be
victory for Greeley in November.
Indiana is ours, and Ohio can be
made ours, and it only remains now
to gather promptly the fruits of vic
tory.
Ohio has done nobly. Grants
majority of 1000 in 1868, has been
cut down to . beggarly ten or
twelve thousand upon the first on
set. We have carried eight men,
bers of Congress out of twenty one
"a clear gain of three from the
stronghold of the enemy, and in
spite of the most outrageous dis
tricting bill ever passed by Legis-
lature to gerrymander a State.
Greeley and Brown are 10000
votes stronger in Ohio to-day than
any man upon our State ticket and
hence, if we do our duty, the State
can be carried like a whirlwind in
November.
The Cincinnati Enquirer one of
the great organs of Western Liber-
alism, says:
Let no Democrat or Liberal Re-
publican intermit his exertiOns In
Ohio on account of the late cleo
ton. Greeley can carry the State.
Our defeat on the State ticket by
small majority should stimulate our
friends to increased exertions in
November, when on a far larger
vote they will prove effective.
The Chicago Tribune, Liberal Re
publican, urges its followers onward
with these stirring words:
To the Liberals Of Illinois, to the
Liberals everywhere, we say: g.
On bravely in the path you have ,
entered. Your cause is just. Your \
