b Veteran Senator Resigns.

The Hon. Simon Cameron has sent his
resignation Of the Office Of e. S. Senator
TO Gov. Rartranft, to take effect when his
successor shall be elected He leaves the
Senate with two years more Of his present
term to serve, and with a moral certainty
of reelection had he desired it. Resig-
nations under such promising circumstances
are indeed rare Probably there is no
record when Senator with influence un-
impaired, has laid down his office to yolun-
tarily retire to private life
The venerable Senator states that he is
78 years old, and thinks that he has been
in public life long enough, and that he
would never find better time than the
present to retire. That he is tired of the
care and worry of office, Of having to turn
away good people whom he would be glad
10 serve if he had the power, and of being
ammo, ed by bad people seeking to make
use Of him. That he is wealthy and need
not subject himself to all this annoyance.
He wishes to have it distinctly understood
that he does not resign because Of any
vexation or anger at the new Administra-
ton, for he should give President Hayes
his cordial support, and hoped he would
succeed in carrying out his new policy but
feared he would not He had no objection
10 any member of the new Cabinet, except
Schurz, who sneered at his appointment to
the War Department in 1861 He simply
objected to Sherman immediate confrma-
tion in order to pay him off in kind.
Senator Cameron is the oldest member
of the Senate. His service in that body
long antedates that of any other Senator
He was first elected Senator in 1915 to fill
out Buchanan unexpired term. In 1857
he was again elected to the T. S. Senate
He resigned his Senatorship to take the
position Of Secretary of War in Mr.
Lincoln's Cabinet, which he subsequently
resigned and accepted the Russian Mission.
The foreign mission not proving to be
to his taste, he only remained short time
abroad, when he returned home aud was
soon elected again to the United States
Senate, taking his seat in 1867. La 1872
he was reelected The venerable Senator
has probably had more to do with making
and shaping our national legislation than
any other living Senator and yet on retir-
ing, he is remarkably vigorous both physi-
cally and intellectually and after short
season Of rest may again enter public life
with renewed strength and energy.
j. Don. Cameron, ex,Secretary of War,
will in all probability be his fathers sue
cessor.

nAA reporter Of The Chicago Tribune
interviewed ex Gov. Seymour in that city last
Thursday. He took quiet view of the situa-
ton, and diScoursed philosophcaIly Of politics
and politicians lie said: The worst class
of men in politics are those who do not claim
to be politicians. Politicians, as rule, are
not bad men 1t is man who does not claim
to be politician, and who is in politics, that
generally does the mischief Parties are
necessary to q country. They make men love
their country. They make them forget
selfshness, and inculcate patriotism. 1t is
political parties that make and sustain a
nation Our system Of government is pecu
liar, and political parties are necessary. The
world looks upon US as a com5ative race. But
we talk in our own exaggerated way from
the stump and through the press, but mean
no harm. La parties men learn the charac-
ters of their opponents and friends, AID sec
their faults, though they may not be willing
to confess them as regards their own parti.a
They learn to be liberal in parties We talk
Of our political opponents in Pickwickian
sense. Why when | was Governor | was
never treated more chiyalrously than by the
Legislature opposed to me- They differed
with me, but the difference was an open one
and we knew it, They thought nothing Of
abusing me in exaggerated speeches, ca!iin-
NE traitor, &c, and coming to ne right after
and asking what they could do for me-
There was no i'll feeling, but it is our system
of doing things. I got over my defeat in

HsaMr. Tilden has been generally credited
with making some pretty heavy outlays dur
ing and since the Presidential campaign.
He can reimburse himself by disposing of
some of the useless wares left on his hands.
The Albany Journal attempts catalogue
Of these as follows: Zone livery of Reform;
a large and varied assortment of canpaign
lies done up in wrappers; one bureau and
one cabinet. The bureau is rather the worse
for wear, but the cabinet-which was made
early on the morning of Nov. 8, last-has
never been used one verbal felicity entitled
'usufruct, protected by patent and pro
nounced by Richard Grant White and Others

Ray~ The Democrat of last week, after
failing signally in Its attempt at playing
the role Of 'Reformer," makes a desperate
attempt at playing the part of aoit. But
in this effort he is pitiably awkward and
clumsy. He presents us in his first column
with a very accurate likeness of himself
The likeness shows him in two moods
The one indicating his present condition
since he realized that none of the public
spoils were to come into his reforming
grasp. The other likeness shows our
Democratic reformer while III fond antici
patton of the golden fruits of reform. But
in order to see him in this latter mood, it
is necessary to stand him on his head,
when broad laugh will be seen to wreath
his classic countenance, every lineament Of
which indicating his firm and fond cxpecta
ton of getting his full pound of reform
flesh. We could wish that our reformer
could bear his bitter disappointment with
calm, philosophic resignation. All know
that there is but step between the good
and bad, or between success and defeat
We cannot doubt that the melancholy
depicted in the countenance Of our contem-
porary will soon render the following cut a
fixed fact

THE blue glass mania has reached It's
climax in the sad case of Chicago man.
He went into an opticians and bought a
pair Of blue goggles to wear on his eyes.
He stepped into hat store and ordered a
little round piece of blue glass put in the
top Of his hat in the place of the usual ven
tiator. He then partook of a dinner of
blue fish. at restaurant with blue sky
light, dipped his fingers in blue glass
finger bowl, and refused to drink anything
until the waiter hunted him upa mug with
blue glass bottom. The day was now
spent, and going home in blue light street
car, the blue glass man, meeting his child
rem at the door, refused to kiss any but
those having blue eyes, sat down in a blue
chair to read copy of the blue laws of
Connecticut and got into such fit of blues.
that he took some blue ink and writing in
his will that at his death, the glass in his
coffin should be blue glass, and his monu-
ment be made of blue granite, he grabbed
revolver and ''bue" out his brains 4
wise man was he.

BG4 A correspondent sends the The
Chicago Tribune 4 letter he received from
Ex-senator Key Of Tennessee, dated Nov. 9,
1875. This was shortly after his appoint
ment as Senator and when some of the most
influential Of the Democratic journals of the
State were calling upon him to resign because
he opposed the grceDbrack hercsies Of the
party. Mr.. Key says in the letter: 4 X
" L beg you to remember ! am no diplomat.

When Col r was Superintendent of
Public instruction, we had conversation at
the Maxwell House, in Nashville, in which
we both agreed that we were not and would
not be partisans, but should reserve to our
selves the right to do what we might think
right. That is yet my platform, and always
shall be. IF it takes ne to the halter or the
stake | shall take that platform with me to

Mr.. Key is not wanting in the old fashioned
virtues, and the selection of such man
brings out in clearer light Mr. Hayes pur
poses in constructing his Cabinet
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1877-03-15

BE- President Hayes seems to he the right
man in the Presidential Chair He appears
to have completely astounded his Democratic
opponents by simply acting according to his
letter of acceptance and inaugural address.
The Democratic plan Of reform is to reform be-
fore election on paper and through the mouth
and forget their promises as soon as they get
into Office But President Hayes method is
Of quite another kind He suits the deed to
the promise. He nominates a Cabinet COM
posed of such men who by their past lives
give US an assurance that reform in earnest is
to commence with his administration. The
liberaty and generosity eyinced by him in
the selection of his Cabinet was inaugurated
by Washington and died with General jack
son, who adopted the demoraizng civiiscrvice
policy that ito the vctors belong the spoils. -
President Hayes puts his foot square on this
hidra monster, which has been sapping the
nations life for the last Is years 1t is true
that this promised reform is not vet fully ac-
complished. But President Hayes has
hitherto been a success in whatever he has
undertaken. His record for the past sixteen
years, his admirable department clapsng
between his nomination and the final count
ing OF the electoral votes, evince discretion,
practical wisdom anl sound sense which give
great reason to trust to him for Gnal con
summation Of the work which he has set
himself to do. No position has yet found
him unequal to It's requirments. He is a
thoroughly educated lawyer, tried soldier
with two terms in Congress, and three terms
as Governor Of Ohio, which gave him an
in state affairs which in no small
degree fit him for faithful discharge of the
higher duties to which he has been called
His inaugural address is an admirable
document aud fully comprchends the de-
mands Of patriotism. 1t is short, modest,
and decisive, but hits with uncrring aim
precisely the points that need attention from
the incoming administration and from the
country as we'll With regard to the South
ern States he urges mutual patriotic forbear-
ance, and promises to protect the rights of
all, be they black or white by every constitu-
tional means at his command. He favors
universal education and suggests national aid
to state grants. He fayors but single
Presidential term which he would have
heightened to six years On the civil-seryice
reform he reminds both parties that they
are pledged to it, and asks for their mutual
aid to lift it out Of the arena ofparty politics
We venture the assertion that no patriot can
oppose the spirit or letter of the inaugural
address Nor will any one who knows the
man doubt for moment that he means
every word of it.
