Some Of It's Public Chaps--
Cudge Cree1ey--Simon
Cameron,
From Our Orn Correspondent.

IL ApWAeE6 10 De tound. And the miserable
creatures who edit newspapers, and run Union
Legues for Simon Cameron, and him only, have
sought to prevent John ". Forney from doing
ip-service to Grant, "respecting," as he hap
PLY describes it, 'the game the Pro-Slavery
party tried with my Press in 1860.'
IN THE Pu1ony.
The Republican party Of Pennsylvania will
stand, this time three years, just where the Pro-
Slavery party stood in 1861, in the pi1lory OF
public opinion, fettered down with the weight OF
accumulated meanness and wickedness. The
party in the State is controlled by an old man
full OF ignoble years and the public interest
and public spirit, to use figure Of Robert G.
Schenck, "haye been nibbled to death by pig
puires."
THE UNION LEAGUE OF PHILADELPHIA
is possessed by crew OF lazy loafers, army con-
tractors, and conspirers against the public good;
and the time is approaching when it will be in
dicted in private households as nuisance, and
entered only upon forfeiture of character 4
Journalist who has pulled obBequiously at the
party-oar these twelve years, like Forney, can
sec what gratitude political service gets. when,
at single challenge Of the party-ticket, the PEN
1tentiary who roost and chirp in this Union
League proceed, under the name Of the '' Cam
paign Committee q. L. OF Philadelphia" to
pick out his eyes.
THE PAPER OF THIS GANG
is q little, fidgatty, squirming, trucking con-
cern, and it calls upon Grant to Danish Fornoy,
and allow itself to fill Forney's shoes. Now
you could no more find anybody connected with
this Bulletin in Forney's shoes than you could
find q flea in canal-boat. Forney is at least a
man OF faculty. Ho confounds politics too much
with his business, and allows politicians to
scare him; but he is an Industrious Journalist,
personality pleasant to look upon, and in many
things cordial and affectionate. The little
fawning, scraping, half-made-up infants Of
charity who play the farce of journalism, the
square below him, are not fit for shavings to
light fire long enough for him to turn sen
tence by it.
FoRSEY AND CAMERON.
Forney's acquaintance WAS solicited by Simon
Cameron three years ago, after long breach Of
relations. and the two met at OF on tho road to
Atlanta, Ga Cameron wanted to prepare for
the impending Senatorial election, and he was
party in that city, he went in and kicked when-
ever he Liked, and they behaved like Smallbones
in the presence OF Lioutenant Vanslyperken.
But Forney he had to entreat. Ho had the
shook hands over it. Forney does not court
qua1rels at any. time, and makes more
treaties ont Of good nature, with tricksterB like
Cameron, than there ia any reason for. He re-
gardedsold Cameron as fixture upon the State
for some little while to cone, and, having very
pardonab1e love and loyalty for the Common
wealth, he labored to conclude q general peace
amongst its public men, and rehabiltate the
politics and public spirit Of Pennsylvania.
SCENE At 4 D1NSER-pARTY.
He therefore designed, at an early date, to
ask "Gene1al" Cameron to meet Governor
Curtin and make truce. Ho took this oppor-
tunity at dnner-party at his own rooms in
Washington, when there we're present, as I
have heard, Judge Carter, Zach. Chandler,
Secretary Robeaon, and several others, "a large
and Cameron On tho other. After several
courses had been served, the talk got around to
the Vice-Presidency.
"aene1al Cameron" said Forney, "why
%ight 7a4gS not Penn'ylVani" command this honor in
"Wby not7" said Cameron. "Agreed,
Old simon's eyes took wistful light; for he
thought Fo1ney meant to indicate himself. =.
War-Goyerno1, Curtin! He is popular and =
good man.. Be magnanimous and bury the
Ratchet, and let us, as Pennsylvanians, alport
him!"
A1rr11E PROFANITY.
Old Cameron flung down his napkin and swore
"By Cd! that won't do. He shall never
have anything in Pennsylvania again. Forney,
you're always praising Curtin. Hes 3 d.
rascal. He's thief J"
"Holdl General Cameron" said Forney.
:" You forget that Governor Curtin is not here.
He is my friend, and must ask you to say no
more"
s:He's q d. raecal," said Cameron. "He
shan't have anything as long as hold out"
ETC., etc.
Robeson here interfered, but old Cameron be-
gan to cry out
when that d. rascal, Curtin, came ND in
Executive session to be confirmed for Russia,
proved that -
"Stop!" said the man named Chandler, for
once in his life cognizant both Of taste and ap-
pearances, F" don't let ont secrets Of Executive
session, Cameron u
sIn be d-it I DON'T" cried the ill-nan-
nered old reprobate, profane and bitter at 10,
to that warm temperature which is the only
combination that yawns for hin1-e1cept Penn
sylvania-
He continued to rave in this way through the
dinner, and wes IS great and as indictable
nuisance as the Philadelphia Union League.
INTELLECTUAL EFFORTS.
Still coveting Forney's services to aid his re-
election, Cameron called at Forney'B ROOMS next
day The SERVANT by Forney's orders, refused
to admit him T.; The The following :dey he called
Mcfarland, Forney's reporter, in the Capitol
lobby.
"Look here" said Cameron, ~ want to find
Forney."
, GENERAL tHEu6IOQ, Ea1U HUE IOl.
one1 Forney does not mean to see you any more.
He is done with you'll"
"Does he mean to fight me ?" said Cam
e1on.
'He will not advocate your reelection"
"Very well"
WORKING FOB EFUNGEMENT.
Prior to this time, Cameron had worked cease
lessly to got up 8 movement to have the Dawes
Resolution expunged from the House Journal,
where the House calls upon President Lincoln
to remove Simon Cameron from the Depar tment
Of War for favoriteisrn, and corruption, and
waste and nnisappication Of the public funds.
Mean as Cameron is, he would pay 100000 to
accomplish that end. He had better fund bis
character and his money, and make lobby
on it.
TIE MAN GREELEY
WAS one OF his creatures, sent to Congress- to
revenge Cameron upon the Hon. Charles O'Nelll,
because O'Neill would not work his patronage in
Cameron's interest. Greeley never drew 3 sober
breath here, spent his time with clerks, nasty
police detectives, and women without visible
means OF support. He owes debts all over the
city, and has acampered away.
