The Chicago Pension Oaice Invesfi.
CATION.

TESTIMONY OF o. 3. MARSHAL CAMPBELL.
Y. 8. Marshal Campbell, of Chicago, was
examined to-day before the House Commit
tee on Civil Service Reform, in relation to
the Sweet Blakely pension office affair. Mr.
Campbell testified that after the great fire
Blakely came TO bim to borrow "a, 900. Wit
ness could not lend it to him. but endorsed
BlaB eIy's note at the hank. The note came
due three times and was renewed. Blakely
was unable to pay Ii until the third time 1t
came due, when he paid the interest and
about 81 coo OF the principal. He suggested
10 Blakely that he pay che note Ia install
ments, which he consented to do. When
Blakely resigned the pension agency at Chi
cago and sold out his paper to go to Mime
sofa, Campbell went 10 him ana asked that
his I ote be paid. BIakely said he could not
t. do so before he left. Blakely after wards
said that party had consented to assume
the debt; that Miss Sweet, who was to be
appointed pension agent, would assume 1t.
Miss Sweet called upon him and asked IL he
(Campbell) wanted her written obligation.
Campbell said her word was enough. She
bad then been appointed pension agent.
entirely ignorant of the bargain. She paid the
money promptly In instruments until she
had paid $1,000. She refused to pay more,
saying she had filled her obligation. He did
not understand 1T SO, and upon writing to
Biakely received letter saying Miss
Sweets understanding was correct. Mr..
Campbell said he had nothing whatever to
do with securing Miss Sweets removal, and
was consulted by her when he understood
that General Logan had asked for her re-
moval. The papers had done him great in
justice in saying that he had assisted in her
removal. If he had been aware of the bar
gain between Miss Sweet and Blakely he
would lot have become q party to it,
Blakely had never told him about the trans
action. The first thing that he knew about
the matter was upon receiving letter from
this committee, stating that such CHARGES
had been made against him.

The Cabinet Meeting To-Day.

THE LOUISIANA QUESTION DISPOSED Of
EARL DERBH'S NOTE.
At the Cabinet session to-day the note OF
Earl Derby, mentioned in THE STAR of
Wednesday last. was read and considered.
The note reaffirms the British position on
the question OF the extradition Of Winslow,
and adduces additional argument, and
quotes what 10 considered as misstate-
ment OF precedent, in support thereof.
1t WAS the unanimous opinion OF the Presi-
dent and Cabinet that Earl Derby's note
contained nothing TO justify this govern
ment In altering In The least its posi-
lion on the quesIin1, stated In Sec.
tefary Flsb's last 8nte, already published.

MEN sometimes work for years to
accomplish certain purpose, and dis
cover just as the end is attained that
there is nothing in it. When one de-
sires to kiss pretty girl, and after
much time and persuasion obtains
the coveted favor only to discover
that she has abominable breath, there
is perceptible feeling that the reality
hardly equals the anticipation. Some
such sensation will, we think, glide
along the spinal column of the propri-
etor of the San Francisco Chronicle in
short time. For the past eight
years that paper has been fighting for
the Associated Press dispatches, and
now when another Association is
furnishing more, better and later dis
patches for less money, the Chronicle
is admitted into the Associated Press
ring.

NEWS OF THE MORNING.

The N. Y. World says the Cincinnati Con-
yention gave the nation candidate with
out purpose and platform without mean
ing.
The New York Stats Zeittng is entirely
satisfied with Tilden's nomination and the
platform, and will support them cordially.
II says that it has been evident for some time
that Tilden would be nominated, but none
the less we thank God that it Is done. This
nomination opens way for escape from the
evils and dangers which threaten the Re-
public.
A dispatch nom Salinas, dated June 18th,
says: The Coast Line stage was robbed hf-
teen miles below Soledad, about twelve
O'Clock last night, by two men. They took
the treasure box, and also robbed the passen-
gers. 1t is not known what they obtained.
From Laporte, under date of June Sth, we
have the report which says: The Laporte
stage was stopped twenty-five miles above
here last evening by two masked men.
Wells Fargo & Co. had an iron treasure box
bolted down In the bottom of the stage. This
was opened and rified. The robbers only got
twenty dollars.
In San francisco, Calusa, Yreka, Stock
ton, Virginia City, and other ports, the news
of the nomination OF Tilden and Hendricks
was received with great enthusiasm,

government will cease on the fourth
of next March. The nomination by
the Democrats of Governor SAMUEL
j. TILDEN, of New York, for Presi-
dent, and of Governor THOMAS A.
HENDRICKS, of Indiana. for Vice
President, is guarantee that the
days of misrule and of criminal waste
and extravaganza are numbered. The
declaration of principles as embodied
in the platform is an earnest of the
task to be performed, aud the two gen.
tlemen whose names head the Demo-
cratic ticket are men in whom the
people have the utmost confidence.
The ability and integrity of SAMUEL
J. TILDEN and THOMAS A. HENDRICKS
are known and recognized from Maine
to Florida. The masses are proud of
these men; they believe In them and
will elect them. TILDEN and HEN
DRICKs are reformers in principle as
well as profession, and they have the
courage and honesty to practice what
they believe. Governor TILDEN has
saved the people of New York forty
millions of dollars, and as President
he will save the people of the United
States hundreds of millions of dollars.
After the fourth of next March we
shall have an honest and economical
government, and such government
insures reduced taxation and peace
and prosperity to the people.

Railroad to Cotton.

We are told by good authority that
If our people will prepare the road
bed and lay the ties from here to Col
ton that the Southern Pacific will
furnish the iron, build the road and
furnish the rolling stock. If this is
true, and we have no reason to doubt
it, we should confer with the railroad
company and close contract at once.
This would not prevent the building
of the Santa Monica road. To prepare
the road bed and lay the ties from
here to Cotton could, it is estimated,
be done for $4,000. Men who are un-
able to pay money could turn out
with their teams and pay their SUBJ
scriptien with work. The road when
completed would enhance the value of
our property ten times the amount of
the original cost. The interest OF the
Southern Pacific and our interest
would then be unit.-ArguS.

WHY Bristow Was Not Nominated.

Said an intelligent and over average
fair minded Republican the other day:
"It is plain to all Why BRIsTow was
not the Cincinnati nominee. He
meant reform, and reform is just what
the managers of the Republican party
do not want.n This is as true as Holy
Writ, and it is this truth that has
created feelings of doubt and distrust
in the rank and file of the party as to
the honesty of their leaders. BRIsTow
is an honest man, and it was this rare
Characteristic among Republican
leaders that forced him from President
GRANTS cabinet. He found knaves
in high places. He discovered incom-
petent and dishonest officials plunder-
ing the people, and he inaugurated
measures for freeing his department
from this class of men. This brought
about a demand for his resignation.
He was cabinet officer of the old
school, and his notions of honesty
were not at all in accord with the pro-
gramme of the administration. He
believed that the people had rights
which should be protected. He be-
lieved that public officers were public
servants, accountable to the people
for their acts, and he believed that
when an official proved himself dere-
lict in the performance of his duty
and dishonest in handling the peoples
money, he should be called to account
and, if found guilty, dealt out the same
punishment that is inflicted on every
ether thief. For entertaining these
old time opinions BRIsTow was
thrown out of the cabinet, and because
he would not renounce them he was
refused the Republican nomination
for the Presidency.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-30

the battle away. The Republican
nominee, by his letter Of acceptance
or in any other manner, should lead
the people to believe his election
would be continuation of Grantism
II he should falter on the currency
question or show leaning toward the
corrupt disgraceful.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29th.-Seve-
raj leading Democrats have been in
terviewed and expressed the utmost
qualification in Tilden's nomination.
Advices from the interior say that the
utmost enthusiasm prevails among
the Democrats.
The Young Mems Democratic Club
met last evening and had a hilarious
time. All the speeches over the NOM
ination and platform were of a very
eulogistic character.
