ONE HOUR TOO LATE.
Lobbying for the Contract to supply Gospel
to the ssnsts-How Morton Euohred
Cameron.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Prsss, on Monday tele-
graphed that paper As follows
About two weeks ago the readers Of the
Pres, may have noticed In the Associated
Press report OF the Senate proceedings, the
following; "Cameren entered motion
to reconsider the vote BY which Rev. Ord.
p. Newman was elected Chaplain Of the
Senate" Careful inquiry at the time
failed TO discover the object Of the Senator
In making this motion. The explanation,
however, is now forthcoming, and II is
furnished by friend Of DR.. Newman,
WHO, having taken part In the affair,
knows whereof he speaks. II appears
that there was something Of contest
between leading brethren OF the Methodist
Church for the position Of Chaplain to the
Senate.
The principal aspIrants were Rev. DR..
Tiffany, pastor of the Metropolitan
Church, where the President attends, and
and Rev. DR.. Newman, chaplain during
the last Congress- and the predecessor of
Dr., Tiffany as pastor Of the Metropolitan
Ckurch. DR. Tifauy's claims were cham
pioned BY Bishop Simpson, between whom
and DR.. Newman there lie said TO be some
estrapgement The Bishop was on the
Il
work with his friend, DR.. Tiffany. His
Senatorial friend and representative was
Gen. Cameron, while DR.. Newman was
wsn represented by Senator Morton, and
quietly supported by President Grant, who
10 a great admlrer OF the Chaplain. The
canvass, II is said, was conducted with
considerable bitterness, that Is, for Clergy
men. DR.. Newman's well known inhu
ence at the White House has been 9
source OF trouble to Gen. Cameron, Al
well as to soAe other gentlemcn who like
to have everything their own way. Al
might be expected, the Senator wound
gladly have seen the clergyman out OF TIT
city.
Al all events, Camerou's room at vii
lard's was the scene Of several caueuses
composed generally Of leading bishop
DR.. Tiffany, aud few others 10 the Til
fanny interest. One morning, shortly afte
the Senate had been organized, Senate
Morton offered a resolution providing 70
the election OF Rev. DR.. Newman as char
lain TO the Senate, and 1t was carrie
/ without opposition. Quite q number O
. Senators were absent, and among then
Cameron. who really spends very littl
time In the Senate. About an hoHr ate
the passage OF the resolution, Camera
/ came into the Senate, and going over
: Morton's seat, said Governor, amt
about time we elected chaplain I" "W
have elected one" said Morton. Camera
was surprised. He had been anticipate
and defeated. He lost his temper a littl'
: said something about snap-judgment, an
Z went to his seat. The hrst opportunity /
could get the door he embraced TO ent'
B his motion to reconsider. DR.. Newman
i friends now set about to reach Cameron
d and they finally succeeded In getting BIZ
10 withdraw his motion, not, however, b
y fore he became satisfied that his candida
v had no show against Newman.

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE.
The City of San Salvatore DESTROYED. i.

AsPlNwALL, April 5th, via Havana,
April l0.-The city of San Salvador, the
Capitol of the Central America Republic
of that name, has been destroyed by an
earthquake, causing a terrible loss of
life. Eight hundred persons perished,
and property valued at twelve millions of
dollars was destroyed. The earthquake
was followed by conAagratiou, and
many buildings were burned. The city
Of San Salvador is situated on a small
stream which flows into the Pacific Ocean
one hundred and five miles south east of
Guatemala. The city stands between
wooded heights, in well watered valley
at an elevation of several thousand feet
above the level of the Pacific. About
three miles to the north h-west is the vol
cano of San Salvador, the close proximi-
ty to which was doubtless the principal
cause of the extreme severity of the
earthquake in that locality.
