A strange runor has Just reached this
city that ga reconciliation has been effect
cd between Senator Simon Cameron and
Col. John w. Forncy, the long time bitter
foes" and that in political affairs they
VIII hereafter steadily "pull together" 1t
Is needless to reproduce the circumstances
which estrangcd from each other these two
wcll-known political characters. In the
last Presidential and Gubcrnatorial cam
palgn MIR, Cameron and Mr. Forney
directed their talent and energy to men
and measures diamctrically antagonistic.
The one carried his point by a stupcndous
majority, and the other retired with a
calling and humiliating defeat. Since
that hour but little political sympathy
has been wasted between them. As a
matter OF course a report OF their
reconciliation creates no little sensation.
Among the many reasons assigned for its
truth, the following is given by prominent
gentlemen of this city: 1.-The idea ofCasar-
ism has been burlesqued and ridiculed;
but recent events prove its approach to
be stealthy and inevitable 1t is like the
approach Of Coggia's comet, which as yet
we can but vaguely see but which we
shall soon behold in its full proportions
and strength. The cunning projectors ofthe
idea. holding the resources OF power in
their hands. and also ability to convert the
National Treasury into a campaign fund.-
will not only be able TO satisfy the few
Wavering ones in their own ranks, hut
will also rush into silence or subdue into
conservation many of those who, even
al the moment, are most vehement when
confronted by the ghost Of a Caesar
| believe that Senator Cameron appre-
ciates the probability of these circnmStan-
ceS fully, but there are peculiar reasons
why he cannot assist in bringing them
about. believe that he regards the in
auglraton OF third team as unlicensed
by the Constitution and the principles OF
orr Government and dangerous to its per-
pctllity, and that he will oppose, with his
full power, this idea, which is the gross
offspring of political corruption, and an
agent destructive OF genuine Republican,
ism OF course the rumorcd recocilia-
ton has more subtle significance than
the ahrogaton Of a bitter quarrel and the
abandonment of an old feud. think that
if this part of the rumor is true, the 9TH
CT is true also. viz: that Senator Came

the United States, and that by assisting
him to fulfil this scheme, Col. Forney will
receive the entire support of the Cameron
faction in securing a seat in the senate.

ment of Secretary of the Treasury. Thus
she goes on in 4 way too rapid to attempt
to follow As an offset to all this, how
ever, your correspondent has heard, upon
reliable authority, that Col. Forney is soon
to sail for Europe, with the view of with
drawing from the vortex of politics for
the term of two years, a project which,
provided the reconciliation rumor is true,
cannot we'll be carried out.
