THE VENERABLE CAMERON.
WASHINGTON, D. O.. May 20.-Gen. Cameron
arrived hore this morning from Harrisburg in
company with President Grant. Flo epont Sow
eral hours at tho Executive Mansion, and thero
has boon much ourioaty to ascortain tho ob1oot
Of his visit Experience shows TINT Cameron
Beldom comos hero unless thore 10 something to
DO accomplished. From q prominent Ponnsyl-
vAnia citizen who accompanied Cameron, and
who, during his visit hero, became rather som-
municatiyo, It is ascertained that tho venerable
Bonator Ia after tho scalp Of tie presont Collector
pf tho Fort Of Philadelphia, Mr. Beth Comfy.
There ia nothing particular against Comfy.
He is not charged with boing defau1ter, nor is
there any complaint that lo Inns neglected to
collect tho revenue. Tho Secretary Of tho
Treasury, 80 far as Is known, Is perfectly aatia-
aod with hiB administration. Tho minor poll
ilcinns Of Philadelphia have not signed any poti-
lion for bis romoYnl, because he refused to sat-
tsfy thn}r domands. Indeed mono Of tho ordinary
pretextB uaually put forward for tho removal OF
IN official whose place Is wanted seem to exist u
sa G st ns h'f' ooeof 1's has reiasod
to remove efficient subordinatoB who aro person-
hlly obnoxious to Gen. Cameron and his pbila-
deiphia friends, but under tho Ciyil-servico
regime, It was supposed thoso would haye no
nry Department. 1t is known, however, that
Gen. Cameron has nevor regarded tho OWL
Service policy as either ,vise or expcdicnt. This
Is porhaps the only point upon which ho d1ors
yato, Cameron has beon said to exprcas his con-
tempt for the whole system, and ho las even
ssbnmbug. si Tho Senator'S donland for tic 70
moval Of Comfy does not arise 30 much from
my personal dislike to that gentleman, as from
sdesiro to rcliovo A1r. Russell Errett, Chairman
of tho State Central Committee. Mr. ErTett
la Gen Carneron's candidate for Collector Of tho
Port Of Philadelphia. He is d gentleman who,
Gen. Cameron nns uRen tno Aa1n n
not as active as he should haYe beon in the polit-
ica1 campaign last fail. Whethor Gen. CAM
eron will bo able, to accomplish hts
purpose Is not known. Thone aro
ldont to Harrisburg has something to do with
this matter, aud TINT tho whole thing Was
planned by Cameron.
