The recommendation of Mr.. Simon
Cameron as Minister to England by the
Pennsylvania Republican delegation is
said to be the cause of no little embar-
rassment to the Administration. Presi-
dent Hayes, it is stated, having deter
mined to appoint Pennsylvanian to
the English mission, notified the Repub-
hcan delegation of that State of his pur-
pose, at the same time requesting them
to unite in recommending some one for
the place. They had a meeting and with
singular unanimity agreed upon
Simon Cameron as the man to receive
the appointment. 1t was an open Sc
cret that both President Hayes and Sec
retary Evarts favored the appointment
of Mr.. Wayne McVeigh, who it. was
thought would be acceptable to all par
ties, while it was equally well known
that Ex-senator Cameron would not
prove acceptable to the heads Of the
Administration. Political circles seem
to be about equally divided in. opinion
as to whether or no Mr.. Cameron's
name will be sent in for confirmation.

President Wheelock returns from the

sanish the New Orleans Pacific Railroad,
provided our citizens will come forward
with the $G75 900, which Is all that is
required OF them, to ensure the compile
lion and enjoyment Of the road from
New Orleans to Marshal, Texas, and
