WAsiiINurUS, Uctobcr .ij.
a gfcat dcaI of Useless matter has been
printed within the last few days c0ncern-
Ing the action OF the Pennsylvania dele
CATION in connection will, the English
mission. or the fact that tho delegation
had tho best reason 10 believe their re-
conlmendation on the subject was de-
sired by the Secretary OF State there Is
not the least doubt, despite the efforts To
create q contrary impression. Neither TX
there any doubt that the Secretary OF
State was very much surprised To hear
that Gen. Cameron had been agreed upon
AZ y fit man. But this furnishes no rea-
son for tho assertion that the Pcnnsyl-
vania congressman took too much upon
Themselves. An intimate friend Of Sen.
Hs0r Don Cameron states most positively
that thc!e IL no warrant for tho intima-
ton that the Senator set the thing up.
The best opinion, Of course, IL that 1t
would bc an improper appointment to
send Simon Cameron to the Court OF 81.
James, although he could not disgrace
the country moro than Schenck or make
II more ridiculous than PierrepOnt. II
his nomination. should be sent to tho
Senate, which is not li:soty, he wOult, ;iu-
questionably be confirmed, on account
of the ,ery friendly personal feelings
held toward him by The whole body Of
the Senate.
Governor IIartranft, vino WAS here yes
terday, made no attempt I'm his cOnvcrsa-
ton with the President and with others
to conceal his opposition to Gen. Carr
oron'. receiving tho nomination. Gov
ernOr Hartranft was one of the pets Of
tho Cameron dynasty, but the bond OF
union between them has Of .atc been
much loosened. IIartrann l.: considered
now an representative Of the military
element In Republican politics in Penn
sylvania. He liz young and ambitious,
and has an idea that he is now big enough
TO work out his own political fortune
without being patrOniZcd by the Came
fons. II would not displease him should
tho English mission DO placed at his dis
pOsal. although he might not consider 1t
| 70 his interest ut this time to accept. In
consequence OF the tangle into which this
matter Of t!:e English mission has got,
the question Of who shall he appointed
may not be settled until after the No.
vcmbcr elections.
In regard 20 tho ease of Mr.. Eusiis.
ono Of the Louisiana contestants for %
| scat In tho Senate, the defects in his ere
dcntials which arc relied upon by Rc-
publicnns to defeat his claim for aImis-
sion arc two. 1t is alleged, and Oh this
| point thcrc IL no denial. that his crcden
| tta!s arc not signed BY the Governor who
| n the time was in Indisputed possession.
| The second allegation is that in the joint
| convention which elected Mr.. Eustis a
| minority OF tho Senate Of Louisiana only

acting Legislative bIc.uess during the
period the joint convention nat. 1t 81
hold that under the laws Cf Congress tho
joint convention tO elect IA United States
| Senator cannot bc complete unless IL Inn :
jority OF each OF tho two Houses Of ,lie
Legislature TX in attendance. 1t Is said
That u former Democratic member OF the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
expressed the opinion that this would lie
the fatal defect In Mr.. Eustis' tito when
his ease came up before tho senate for nc
ton. II is understood also that several
Democratic Senators havo within two or
three days expressed simiInr views.
