The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1877-03-23

On Wednesday last the Legislature rat
! flied the transfer made by Simon Cameron
to bis son Don of all the right, title, inter-
est and claim of him, the said Simon, to
| seat in the Senate of the United States,
until the 4th of March, 1870. The vote in
| the two houses resulted as follows j. Don
Cameron, Rep, 146; Andrew Fl. Dill,
| Dem, 90. Considering the peculiar man
ner by which this result has been brought
about, it may, be regarded as one of 81
mons best master strokes.
The Cameion faction, or rather the
Cameron ring, embraces at least two-thirds
Of the energetic and active, but unscrupu-
lous, Republican leaders in this State.
The three most prom inent men who man.
ipulate and control this ring are r. w.
Mackey, late State Treasurer, M. S Quay,
present Secretary of the Commonwealth,
and John S. Rutan, late State Senator
from Beaver county, that nursery of great
men. What these three pure and immacu-
late patriots don't know about 6ulldozing
a Republican Legislature, State conven
tion, or a county convention into the snp-
port of Cameron's personal and political
projects, is not worth knowing at all. ST.
mon of course duly appreciates their val
liable services, and when either of them
desires public office, which they all often
do, the powerful aid of their grea. chief is
cheerfully and literally extended. The
political power which Cameron ha. WELD
ed in this State, as we'll when he was a
L 4. \ \
blood by taking the Known othing oath in
1854, is not difficult to explain, and is we'll
understood throughout the State, but more
especially so at Harrisburg. He owes
nothing to superior mental qualities, for
he is not Webster or Clay, but in po-
litical cunning and tricke-y, and in the
dark ways of driving an adversary from
he field, lie has never had an equal His
career in the Senate has been tame and
common place, when contrasted with that
of Bigler, Cowan, Buckalew, Scott and
Wallace, and he leaves it without having
added.anything to his reputation for ability
when he entered it. OF his son and sue
cessor, all that can be said is that at one
time he was President of the Northern
Central Rail Road, ali officer of bank in
Harrisburg, and recently Secretary Of War.
AS political manager he is said TO be
shrewd, adroit and without conscience, and
i'll this respect is ga chip out of the old
block" That he will ever make his mark
in the Senate is neither believed nor ex
Tected. The peculiar surroundings Of his
candidacy and his success will come back
TO plague the men who elected him. The
tone Of the Republican press of the State
is hostile to the whole arrangement be-
tween Cameron, his son and the Legisla-
ture, and is a warning, not to be mistaken
that the game for seat in the United
States Senate, which has just been SO sue
cessfully played at Harrisburg, will not
win second time in January, 1879.

LAST WEEK Hayes nominated and the
senate confirmed Fred. Douglass as U. s.
Marshal for the District of Columbia. A
vigorous effort was made by the members
OF the bar Of the District against his con J.
ffrmation, not on the ground of bis color,
but because, as they alleged, he was incon-
petent. If all the Democrats in the Senate
had voted against him he would have been
defeated, but number of them withheld
their votes, while four Southern Senators
Garland, Jones, Morgan and Ben Hill
voted for him.

Cutting a Dash.

Is tia wonder that many .young
men arc out Of business, and poor
withal, when it has been their high
ambition for years past to cut b dash
and show off themselves. Men un-
able-dependens as they were for
support on small salaries-they COON.
parties Of pleasure and spend more
money in one day than they could
earn in.seyen. Is it to be wondered
at, that they do not give satisfaction
to their employers, and that now
they loaf about withou! any regular
employment? This desire to cut a
dash-to show QUITO gallant the
ladies-to spend money freely before
it is earned-has played the ruin
with many young man who now
feels it to his sorrow. Yet there are
hundreds following the same steps
reaching after the Same follies, and
who, when reminded Of their dan
gerous courses, either pay no regard
to your wholesome advice, or tell
you to mind your own business, and
they will take care Of themselves.
Instead of cultiyating their minds,
and improving their hearts, they
devote all their energies to decorate
the outer man. None are more fool
ish in this respect, than the sons Of
farmers who, leaving the pillow and
the rake, are drawn to the city, that
they may lead a more idle life.
Many youth has been ruined by
leaving his homely abode in the
country. The idlcness of city fash
ionables-thoir follies and their vices
have too often taken rank hold
upon him, and early destroyed his
constitution. Our advice to farmers
is, to keep your children at home on
the farm. We have clerks in album
dance in the city; but the soil is
wasting for the help of man. We
need more farmers, and less NOR
chants and professional men; q lar
ger number of workers, fewer drones
and paupers. Let those who would
cut dash and live a butterfly exis-
tence for a few summers, reflect Sc
riously upon the subject before they
resolve to quit the woods and the
fields, and try their fortunes in the
hustle of the city. If they know
how to appreciate health and cheer
full spirits, and contentmont, we
are certain that no inducement will
tempt them to forsako their country
homes

Throb, throb, throb. Never sleep
ing, but often tired. Loaded with
care, chilled by despair, bleeding
with wounds, often inflicted by those
who do not understand it, or bur-
dcned with affection, it must beat
on for a lifetime. Nothing finds a
Judgement in its chambers that does
not add to its labors. Every thought
that the mind generates steps upon
the heart before it wings its way in
to the outer world. The memory Of
dead loved ones arc mountains Of
weight upon its sensitiveness; the
anxieties of the soul stream them
selves TO the heart and bank them.
selves upon it, as the early snow.
drifts cover the tender plant; love, if
it loves, lresit with fovcrish warmth,
mud makes it the more sensitive;
hate, if it hates, heats it to despera-
tion and fills it with conflicts. Still
it works on. When slumbor closes
the oyolids, the heart is beating
beating beneath all its burdens; it
works while we sleep; itworks while
we play; it aches when we laugh,
Do not unnecessarily wound it; do
not add to its bleeding Wounds

BEDDING OUT Vans. The season is
shortly at hand when our planters and
gardeners will turn their attention to the
best means to secure an early and abun-
dant supply of potato plants. BY exper-
imenting last year with several plans, I
have, Z am fully satisfied, found ont the
most economical practical, ,. and every
way the best plan to bed sweet potatoes,
especially yams. I took it from the
Southern : CMtivaor, ,Apri,; No. 1876
sigued F.is. S, jackson County, which
is as follows: .-..
Early in March 1 made hot bed, by
setting up edgewise four. planks or slabs,
one foot wide, driving stakes; on the out
side ITO held them up, and filing this
frame with fresh stable manure, that has
never been vet, ! I then pack it down
the manure with two inches of rich earth,
upon which I spread out evenly, but not
upon eac.e other, my yams or potatoes,
and cover them with two inches of good
earth. I then raise one side of my
frame six inches and cover with boards,
to keep off all rain, until the slips are UP,
which Will be in about two, weeks. +.
After this + uncover them and water
freely. with Isoap-suds. In four weeks
from bedding out have a fine bed of
slips ready to set out, getting a weekly
supply, from Apritlintil July, if they are
Kept we'll watered.
Livery. few days for a week after bed
ding out, insert the hand into the manure
to see if il is uncomfortably warm ifso,
