resigned his seat in the United States Sen
ate in order that his son Don Cameron
might be elected to succeed him, was the
Oldest member of the Senate. having COM
pleted last Thursday his 18th year. His

tinuous. He was first elected in 1915 to
serve out the unexpired term of James Bu-
chanan, who resigned to 60 into President
Folks Cabinet as Secretary of State. 1t
was not until sixteen years after that the
Senators next longest in service-Messrs.
Howe and Hamlin-entered the Chamber.
MIR. Cameron was a democrat during his
first term, but had decided tendencies
against slavery. After four years in the
Senate he returned to his business, not

the fathers of the republican party, attend
ing its first national convention and run
ming as one of the Fremont electors in
1856. In 1857 he was again elected to
the Senate. capturing three democratic
votes and defeating John w. Forney. who
was President Buchanau's candidate. At
the Chicago Convention of 1860 he was
one of the prominent candidates for the
Presidency. He resigned the Senatorship
in 1861 to 20 into President Lncoln's Cab
met as Secretary of War, from which po-

Protest of n Victim of the Bull
dozers-A Voice from the Grave.

Especial Dispatch to the New York Times
WASHINGTON, March l2.-Senator Mcmillan,
of Minnesota, has received letter that sounds
like voice from the grave, protesting against q
conciliatory policy toward the South. On the 9th
of the present month, d. A. Weber, Tax Colec-
tor Of East Felicans Parish, La, was shot and
killed in the street near his home. The verdict of
the Coroner's jury assigned the guilt to persons
unknown. Senator Mcmillan receives from the
same Mr.. Weber the following letter dated March
3, three days before his death:
My DEAR Mr.. SENAToR.-I see by the Asso-
ciatad Press dispatches that President Grant will
not recognize Gov. Packard. 1t is leven asserted
that President-elect Hayes is committed to such a
line of policy. If this should prove true--if after
our services to the nation are to be left In the
hands Of Nichols and his murdeTers, yon, Mr..
Senator, who have had the opportunity to Judge
our cause, will understand how soon the murder
ers will begin their work. 1t would be but a few
days work to wipe out Of existence every white
republican, and with our downfall comes that OF
the innocent negro, whose vote saved the nation.
appeal to you, Mr.. Senator, not as a republican,
but as friend of justice, to do battle for those
who are powerless. Our lives, our property, and
the security OF our families, depend upon you and
those of your confrercs 10 the Senate who under
stand our position. Since my return from New
Orleans, and my attendance upon your commit
tees. | have been at home, cooped up IN the
house, unable to appear on the streets without in
curing danger. If | were alone-withont wife,
or children, or property could easily adapt my
self to the present condition Of affairs; but can
not desert my all, even.if staying should cost me
my life. Hoping you will pardon the liberty |
am taking in addressing you, | remain very re-
spectfully yours. D. A. WELLER.

POLITICAL.

Latest reports say an extra session of Congress
will be avoided if possible.
Frederick w. Seward has accepted the position
of assistant Secretary of State. lie held the same

At one O'Clock Monday all the members of the
Supreme Court, with the exception of Justice
Field, paid their respects. as is customary on the
incoming Of new administration, to the Presi-

The absence Of the democratic Conpressmen

changes. The Nashville American says: ''Five

During the eight years Of Washington's admin
isirstion he removed only nine officers. and In
every instance for cause. The elder Adams dis.
missed ten during his term. Mr.. Jefferson. dur.
ing his eight years, only removed forty-two, al.
though large portion Of the offceholders were
strongly opposed to bis election. Mr.. Madison
during his eight years dismissed but Eve officers
Mr.. Monroe during his two terms only nine
John Quincy Adams dismissed but two. General
Jackson during the first year of his Presidency
removed 23o officers; in other words. he removed
about three times As many in ono year as all biz
prsdecessors bad dismissed in forty years. Befor,
the close Of Gen. Jackson's first term some 20ot
rsnevals and sppoiotnents had been made.

IL is interesting to notice among the
incidents attending the going out Of the
old administration and the coming in of
the new, the kind and complimentary
words extended by Secretary Schurz to
the retiring Secretary. Hon. Zach. Chan
dler. Mr.. Chandler has been stigmatizcd
by the independent press as one of the
worst opponents Of reform in the civil
service. while Mr.. Schurz has been regard
ed by the same papers as the model of re-
form. Now mark the following language
addressed to Mr.. Chandler by Mr.. Schurz.
upon the going out of the former and
coming in of the latter as Secretary of the
Interior: "Mr. ex-Secretary. am happy
to say to you that there is very general
feeling throughout the country that the af-
fairs of the Interior Department were new
er more ably conducted than they have
been under your management, and shall
be very happy If, upon leaving the de-
partment, can leave behind me as fair a
record
We are glad to see this tardy credit to
Mr.. Chandler. Coming from Mr.. Schurz
It is q high testimonial TO the efficiency
and ability Of Mr.. Chandler as a public
officer. VIII

ing 10 stolen goods, or enjoying with composure
the fruits of iniquity.
Into what kind of O position is it now pro-
posed by some to place this great conscientious
party. Will the leaders refecti Here are two
proposit ions and corollary to each. The main
assertion and consequent deduction, cannot be sep
arated. Prop. Hayes carried Louisiana. Corol-
larry For q still stronger reason Packard is Gov
crnor of that State, having received thousand
more votes. Prop. IL: Nichols is Governor Of
Louisiana. Corollary For still stronger reason
Tilden carried that State having received a thou
sand more votes.
Now, then, the republican party has set up the
first proposition; and they are obliged to accept
its deductions. If they establish the second prop
ostion, they must accept its deductions. Then
shall we have two bodies occupying the same
place at the same time, which is contrary to sound
philosophy. Then will it be shown that if the
Electoral Commission had been = court of equity
instead of law, its finding had been different
Then i'll the leaders of the party show by their
own confessions that Mr. Hayes is President, not
by right but by technically. At the present
time, this conscience of the party is fortified by
the belief that by all the principles of right and
justice Mr.. Hayes declared President At The
present time it believes that the democrats at
tempted to carry the State of Louisiana by whole
sale MURDER and that they were prevented from
consummating the budozing policy only by the
Returning Board. The whole world knows the
facts, and knows that such was the case. Let it
be so recorded Do not administer the alternative
emetic; for very soon thereafter will follow the
rumblings and eruptions in the stomach of this
