days, and sincs the rsturns from Pennsylva-
4 uta began to come in, there has been 9 trs
mendous waste of enih hRsiasm in behalf o.
old Simon Cameron. Il was asserted in
various Grant quarters that the disgracec
ex-Wsr Secretary had 80 redeemed him

o 10 the party, that he was meant to be th'
A coming man, and the Adnibistrstion month
piece, if Grant was reelected. While III
u old public functionary's praises were ii
= every body's mouth, he turned up here las
+ evening, and adnlAtion gave way to sur
prise. To-day Cameron visited the Presi
dent, and, Notwithstanding the fact that tn
Cabinet awaited the presence of the head O
the Government, had . confidential inter
view. He demanded of the President ths
D. all those so-called Republicans who ha
,e ,s worked against the Harsranft tieks

good standing in the Republics
party. Conspicuous among this prosoripilo
list we're Ex-Governor Curtin and Colon,
Fornsy. The President, in response to th
IS demand, told Cameron thst all these me

ey would not interfere in such cases, to 81
and sbst local quarrels and dissensions.
