Why Don Cameron Voted Against Seat
ing COrbin.
IA. G. Buell. in Washington Capital.l

IA. c. Buell. in Washington Capitall
Simon Cameron presented his first creden-
tias 81 years ago to the Senate committee on
privileges and elections, of which the venerable
Andrew Pickens Butler, uncle of the present
Senator from South Carolina, was chairman,
Simon's credentials were under something of a
cloud-like great many other things in his
career-and it would have required but very
slight stretch of partisan ingenuity to upset
him. The elder Butler, however, interpreting
the credentials on their face to represent the
sovereignty of the State of Pennsylvania, and
holding under his view of the rights of States
that the Senate could not take cognizance of
the alleged defects, reported favorably and
caused Simon to be admitted. Under these
circumstances Simon, who, whatever may be
his faults of character or his misfortunes of
reputation, has good memory, with the ira
ditional gratitude Of his Scotch origin, lopged
for an opportunity TO do old Senator Butler
some service. That opportunity never came
while Senator Butler lived, and so Simon trans
mitted his gratitude to Buffers heir, even as he
devised his seat in the Senate to his own son.
Accordingly, when 1t appeared that Don's vote
might be of service to the nephew OF the man
who had bafriended simon, that venerable
terrors Of party discipline to enjoin upon Don
the responsibility of paying the old debt
"When L gave you my seat in the Senate, my
son." said Simon, tremulously, "tbe gift car.
ried with it that lien of gratitude aud, come
what may, you must pay 1t" So Don, taking
one look at the uplfted dirk, and the "fdes in
aternum' on the crest of the Clan Cameron,
braved his caucus, defied the wrath of his party
organs, and voted for the nephew of the man
who had befrended his father. On the whole,
the incident is the brightest and best 10 the
entire annals of the house of Cameron. Don
can afford to be abused for it by his party or
gans There are great many worse fellows
than Don Cameron. In fact politics apart.
and forgetting the lad company he keeps at
Harrisburg, there are few better.

CONGRESS has hit upon some new postal
wrinkles thus described by the World: The
clause in the Post Office Appropriation bill
which provides for the double postal card al
80 provides for letter-sheet envelope, which
is to be stamped as envelopes are now
stamped, and double-letter envelope. The
double postal card is in size similar to the
present one-cent card. 1t bears at both up
per corners one-cent stamp and lines are
drawn from the centre, sloping downwards
to each lower corner, to be written upon. The
writer of the card uses the right hand side
and the receiver uses the left hand side for
his reply. The double-letter envelope is
stamped twice, and the sender uses the right
and the receiver the left-hand side in writing
the address. at the back of this envelope is
a double-gummed flap divided by perforated
line. The lower one is used for sealing by the
sender, and the receiver uses his knife along
the perforated line and has a new gummed
flap ready for use. The letter-sheet envelope
is designed to do away with outer envelopes.
Its patentee claims great merit for it for the
reason that it often occurs that the date at
which writing has been mailed cannot be
ascertained because the envelope has been
lost Here letter and envelope are one. The
new law does not direct the Postmaster
General to issue these patented conveniences.
1t only allows him the discretion to do so.
The Post Office Department had nothing to
do with having this clause inserted in the bill.

II the Union was worth Hgh:ina for il is
worth paying for.
The Speakership.

IT Washington correspondents may be be-
leved (they are capable of enormous fables
in the dull time between the sessionsl the
contest for the speakership of the next
House is sharp one, and Mr.. RandalPs
chances anything but good. The great
amount of gossip over the affair seems to have
convinced the small group of Greenbackers,
composed in part of men not much versed in
affairs, that they hold the balance of power
and can dictate the choice of Speaker.
They are not acquainted with the Washing
ton correspondent, and their hopefulness is,
perhaps, not to be wondered at.
1t is probable that Mr.. Randall will be re-
elected. He is an able man, an expert par
liamentarian, and stout partisan. lie is
certainly better qualified for the position than
is Mr.. Blackburn whose only claim to the
honor is his service in the Confederate army,
and is quite as bitter and unscrup ulous
partisan. So far as Republicans are con-
cerned it matters little which is chosen.
Their only preference for Mr.. Randall would
be that he is man of more brains and ex-
perience in the ways of the House, and ex-
pert in the dispatch of its business.
From the Greenbacker group, despite its
numerical weakness, something is to be
feared. The man of the Greenbackers' choice
would be worse than either Randall or Black
burn elected by strict Democratic vote; and
if they have the power to choose between
these men, they have the strength to exact
pledges, the fulfillment of which will be dis
astrous to the country. The Democracy
have always been fertile in compromising
They have never hesitated to sacrifice prin-
ciple to expediency, to surrender any dec
trine, no matter how vital or long-chershed,
if thereby they could gain some temporary
advantage. The danger is that If they see
the Greenbackers hold the balance of power
they will pledge themselves to initiation legis-
lation in order to get the control of the
House. If either Mr.. Randall or Mr.. Black
burn can get possession of the gavel by prom
ising to effect the passage of any legislative
measure upon which the Greenbackers insist,
the promise will be made. 1t is not probable
that the Nationals can place either Judge
Kelley or General Ewing in the chair, but
there is danger that they can set their terms
and compel the adoption of them by one or
the other faction of the Democracy. 1t
seems now as though the choice of Speaker
would depend upon a trade, the terms of
which will not only be dlshonorabe to the
traders, but disastrous to the country. We
shall have to pay the cost of Democratic
Congress rather sooner than we expected. 1t
was hoped the evil would come in driblets.
1t promises to come in an avalanche.

ONE of the Boston Sunday papers-it may
be darkly described as the only Boston paper
that reaches Portland on Sunday gives in
its latest issue some eminently readable Cos
sip about authors, dead and living. Falling
victim to the prevailing mania it also gives US
glimpses of the sisters and the cousins and the
aunts, and even the wives of the eminent
authors. An amusing story is told of the
way in which the wife of Mr.. Emerson shod
her hens so they should not scratch up the
seeds in her fower-garden, shoeing which
So tickled Mr.. Alcott, transcendentalist and
philosopher, that he withdrew TO the neigh
boring woods and laughed consumedly. 1t
is much to be feared that the teller of this
good story has had no experience in handling
flock of hens else he would have known
that the housewives of New England have long
been accustomed to put cloth bandages on
the feet of their feathered and predatory
bipeds in order to protect their garden s,
both flower and kitchen, from those who
scratch for living.

THE organization of the City Government
was virtually completed last night by the re-
election of the old officers with very few ex-
ceptions. The most important change is in
the Office of city solicitor where Henry B.
Cleaves, Esq, is succeeded by Clarence Hale,
Esq. As is well known Mr.. Cleaves declined a
reelection. He has served the city two years
and his administration of tho Office has been
very creditable. During his term suits have
been disposed Of involving $4,000, and the
verdicts against the city for the same time
amount to only S2,5OO. Mr.. Cleaves' sue.

whom the city's interests may be entrusted
with full confidence that they will be well
protected.

THE cynical Boston Herald puts no faith
in the efficacy of Fast Day proclamatlons and
says: ''When the appointed day comes the
people will devote themselves to base ball,
walking matches, and rum drinking" That
may be; people will doubtless pass their lei
sure in the sports they like, or in the indul-
gence Of vices to which they are subject; but
all the same men in authority, presumed
leaders, should indicate the path the people
ought to follow. Let us at least make pre-
tense of observing Fast Day properly. We
may delude some one into behaving himself.

RECENT interviews with prominent Demo-
rats induce leading papers to believe that
Mr.. Thurman is the fayorite candidate for
the Democratic Presidential nomination.
Senator Thurman mounted the fence rather
later than Mr.. Hendricks, but it is thought
he has developed greater qualities as sue
cessful straddler. 1t is cruel blow to Hen
bricks. Fifteen years of straddling count for
nothing.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter SAYS:
Spring opens with an accession of cheerful
ness and hopefulness on the part of trade.
Leather continues low, to be sure, but it is
not because there is any lack of demand for
it. We haven't been able yet to reduce the
supply to m inimum that was calculated to
encourage buyers to change the hand-to-
mouth policy of procuring stock that they
have been practicing for two years with un-
interrupted success, But, notw iths tanding
the manufacturers are holding extremely
limited quantities, and, what surplus there
is, is magniied beyond its Datural propor-
tions, for the reason tn ct it is in CONSPICUOUS
display in few warehouses in the leading
cities, the transactions suffice to prevent any
increased accumulation, The sales pretty
nearly balance the receipts. Everybody un-
derstands there is and will be enough. The
Spring ofths year is never favorable time
for working up prices. The raw material is
pouriDgin in upon US in such great quantities
that there is the strongest possible ground
for anticipating reduction of the cost of
production. So that, on the whole. it is ex-
tremely questionable whether an upward
turn in leather would, for the present, be
desirable, even for those who would derive
immediate benefit from it.

Ditson and received in this city by Stock

whistle its airs from recollection, will now be
happy, and SO will his sisters and his cousins
and his aunts; likewise the long-suffering
public who have been hoping that their
Grandfather's Clock would stop short, never
that is, hardly ever-to go again. Of the
songs we especially commend ssMy Gal

are distressed at not getting their share of
patronage, as there is some good advice about
never using 'big, big D', which will suit
their case.

greatly to his credit" "Fair Morn', with
its question, "Say, why is everything either
at skies or at sevens' is the much-sought
musical setting of the song which the
Nation and other liberal papers have been
so long droning in our ears, and it will relieve
their monotony. The duet "Things are seldom

will be profitably sung by our Greenbacks
Colonels. Josephine's song,
'.My guilty heart is quakipg;
Oh! that might retrace
The steps that am taking"
seems a providential inspiration sent for the
Jacksonian Democracy who have incautiously
waded into the soft money bogs. The chorus,
"Carefully on tip-toe stealing,
Breathing gently as we may,

We will softly creep away

THE avaricious painter is, If we may Judge
from the Nation's description of the display
of the New York water-color society, in hot
pursuit of the poor mans plaster. 1t seems
that the heavy papers made to serve as
vehicle for the soothing and strengthening
salves of the porous plaster men are eagerly
seized upon by artists as excellent surfaces
for the display of pigments. The texture of
the new artistic material is, 1t is said, E'strong
and beautiful, regularly accented and in
dented with the impression of the sieve; it is
white in specimens made of linen alone, and
warm in others where fbres of rope are in
troduced; it is beautifully firm and stout,
with tendencies to wrinkle and initiate old
Holland that are appreciated by artists"
The Nation, which has always been strong
on Tendencies" breaks into unwonted en-
thusasm over the new material, and says of
some pictures that Mr.. Charles Parsons has
painted on the back of porous plasters:
"His beach-views and struggling seaside
cedars were be autifully indicated, and the in
spiration of his material seemed to lend him
an uncommon breadth and felicity of style.
The rich, marrowy-looking surface suggested
more of artistic profundity than it really car
ried, and the new paper was seen to be
noble material for effects of large and gen.
eralized kind" This luscious description
suggests wonderfully pleasing possibilities.
In the artistic invalidism of the future we
shall only have to strip man troubled with
lumbago or a kidney complaint to find
beautiful landscape or some touching domes-
tic scene of the Dutch genre sketched on the
porous plaster he wears. He of lame back
is that patron of art whom the hopeful
American painter has solong been expecting.
