THE REAL SuFFERER.-The Philadelphia
Times has the following touching relation in
connection with the Cameron-Oiver scandal
lately 50 largely ventilated IN the Washington
city courts:
There is a lady in Washington who might
Justly bring suit against both plaintiff and
defendant in the Oliver Cameron case for con.
sequcnlal damages To the best OF my belief
the only real sufferer from wounded feeling in
the matter is another Mrs. Mary Oliver, who is
utterly innocent Of aught save the misfortune
of having the same name as the plaintiff and
having been righttully appointed from Penn
sylvanla to "a clerkship in the Treasury De
partment at the instance of Simon Cameron
when Senator, He knew her husband, who
was one OF the stanch supporters OF the clan
Cameron, and advised HIM to run for Congress.
Mr.. Oliver did so and was defeated, and lost
fortune and courage to battle with life. He
died not long aiterward, and his widow was
appointed, at Senator Camcrons instance to Il
clcrkshp in the office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, which she has for several years
filled with credit to herself, and has earned
the esteem OF all associated with her. The sim.
llarity of name with that Of Senator Cameron's
pursucr, as we'll as the fact that the other was
also appointed at his request to II clcrkship in
the same department, has, from the time the
SUIT began, two years ago, until now wrought
untold wrctchcdncss to the innocent woman.
Naturally she has been perpc,ually confound-
cd with the litigant, The day after the suit
first commenced newspaper men began insist.
ing on Intervening her. When she has de-
MED beng the plaintiff she has rarely been
believed by strangers, and she suffers in con.
sequence Her hair has actually turned gray
since the suit was instituted rs result of the
constant modification To which she is subjected
She has told my mother more than once OF
nights of agony following the blunders which
have panied and Inundated her whenever she
has been brought in contact with strangers
and the not surprising refusal of those unac
quainted with her to credit her denials of be
inc the "Simon-purc" Oliver. 1t certainly is
n very hard case, and it seems To me the least
the clan Cameron, which possesses so much
influence with the Pennsylvania Legislature
can do is 10 have her name changed.
