DON,S DOINGS.

Ho,c the Cameron Clan Propose to Manip"-
late the Chicago COncention-Murdt Hal
stead,s Explanation.
Washington Special (Jan. 29) to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Despite the rumors and reports to the con-
trary, it is asserted by Don Cameron's
friends that he has not abandoned the in
tention to have the Pennsylvania Republican
convention, which meets next Wednesday,
instruct for Grant. 1t is claimed that he
proposes to make the fight for an instructed
Grant delegation, and relies upon the Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh and Lancaster county
delegation to accomplish it.
One of the Philadel .)hia politicians, who
was at conference with others at Cameron
house in this city few days ago, says that
the proceedings of the Pennsylvania State
convention next week will be of the most
important character, and that if the pro-
gramme outlined by Senator Don Cameron
ls carried out, it will have very important
bearing upon the national nominating con-
vention. Senator Cameron still adheres to
his determination to support General Grant
for the Presidential nomination, and so firm
ly are his ideas settled in this respect that he
will not entertain any argument to the con-
trary. He believes that Grant can win, and
can carry New York State.
According to the programme which has
been mapped out for the State convention, a
resolution will be introduced, first, to in
struct the delegates to the National conven-
ton to vote as unit, and next, to instruct
them to vote for General Grant as the Presi-
Dental nominee so long as there is chance
of his being nominated. At a conference
held with a number of Pennsylvania leading
Republicans early this week arguments were
used with a view of inducing Senator Gamer
on to allow the delegates to Chicago to re-
main uninstructed until some future time,
and then be guided by the course of events.
The senator, while giving courteous atten-
ton, turned deaf ear to the proposal, and
announced his willingness to try the expert
ment of having the Pennsylvania convention
lndorse Grant, believing that it would be
carried by large vote.
1t was held by those opposed to the III
structing of the delegates that the man who
might be popular next week would be buried
in oblivion the following week, and that it
would be decidedly impolitic to indorse any
one. The senator, however, entertained diff
fercnt views, and felt that if Pennsylvania
would declare for Grant the rest of the States
would follow.
Secretary Sherman is using his influence
to prevent any resolutions of instruction fol
Grant from passing. He told friend that
if it were done "the thing will 60 on like a
tidal wave, and all the conventions will fol
low the lead of powerful State like Penn
sylvania and instruct for Grant, leaving me
out in the cold" Mr.. Sherman seemed to
appreciate this view of the case, and is very
anxious that something should be done to
prevent such thing if possible.

New York Herald Editorial, 28th.
The Anti Grant Republicans seem as anx-
ious to supply him with on early and honor
able line of voluntary retreat as the Anti
Tilden Democrats are to bestow a similar
courtesy upon their own enfant terrible A
day or two since it was confidently asserted
in Washington, and simultaneously tele-
eraphed thence to different parts of the
country, that Gen. Grant has instructed in
innate friends to withdraw his name from
the canvass, and that the formal withdrawal
is to be made next week in the Pennsy lvania
State convention. Careful inquiry at the al
legged original sources of this report leads us
to distrust its correctness. However strong
ly Gen. Grants Presidential rivals may de-
sire him to pursue this course, or however
expedlent some of his most attached person
al friends might deem it, we are unable as
yet to find any authentic evidence that he
has given such instructions.
There has evidently been misunder-
standing which we are DESTROYS to see ex-
planned. So interesting o rumor is always
liable to gather accretions in passing from
mouth to mouth, like the story of the three
black crows. But the report in question
was telegraphed by our Washington cor
respondent precisely as he received it. 1t
can be proved to a demonstration that he
neither misunderstood his informant nor
overstated what he told him. We know no
reason for Withholding the fact that his in
formant was Mr.. Murat Halstead, of the
Cincinnati Commercial, who, in communi-
eating the alleged fact. vouched for its accu-
racy by stating the source from which he
had derived it. 1t is not incumbent on US to
point out those sources, having no interest
in question that may arise between Mr.. Hal
stead and the gentleman he mentioned as
his authority. Suffice it to say that we have
gone to the original sources and do not find
Mr.. HaIstead's statement confirmed. Of
course he misunderstood them, but our cor
respondent certainly did not misunderstand
him, since precisely the same report, in al
most precisely the same language, was pub
lished in the Cincinnati Commercial on the
same morning it appeared in the Herdld.
1t is for MIR. Halstesd to explain the misun-
derstanding by which he received an I'M
preston which was not intended to be given.
The authenticity of news is aquestiou which
deeply concerns journalists, end while good
faith is always to be presumed it is desirable
that important errors should be explained.

fact will remain in history that the removal
was induced by Hayt's rascality as develop
ed in the investigation. He has used his
position for personal profit; has defrauded
the government and swindled the Indians,
and has been caught at it. He has been
dismissed from the public service il sum-
mary manner, and may be said to be in dis
grace, and any effort to lift the load of ohio
guy under which he rests will prove futile.
The death-bed confession of his sanctimo-
NOUS partner in crime will be considered as
better evidence than any subsequent ex-
plantations.

MIR. BoYNToN, who claims to have been
slandered by Gen. Sherman, asks the secre-
tary of war to order court martial TO hear
the case. We have no doubt but Gen. Sher-
man deserves punishment for the manifestly
libelous language he employed in speaking
of Mr.. Boynton, but as the law provides no
means of trying a military man except by a
jury of his peers, and as Sherman has no
peers, we see no way by which the desired re
suit can be reached. We would suggest to
Mr.. Boynton, however, that cow-hides can
be purchased for about dollar and half

After considerable wrangling between the
Grant men and Blaine men, the latter retired

to support Gen. Grant. large majority of

were for Blaine, and loudly oheered every

1t Was the Cat,

A rather curious thing happened in
New Haven, ct. A large black cat man
aging to get into the cellar in some
mysterious way, and finding it impos-
sible to get out, and feeling rather des-
pondent at the outlook of affairs, re-
sorted to craft. Jumping on the win
dow sill, with her front paws she kept
the wire connected with the front door
bell working, the bell pealing inces-
sanity. The head of the family, becom-
ing alarmed at the steady and inces-
SAINT ringing, went to the door, found
no one, and returned to his armchair
to ponder. The ringing continued,
and, thinking perhaps that band of
robbers were in the house, he started in
search of a policeman, who should
search the cellar and arrest the often
der, if offender it should prove. The
policeman and the prominent citizen
entered the cellar, armed with clubs
and pistols and dark lantern. The
fash of the lantern lit on the cat, work
ing away in dead earnest. Goodness
me! what is that?' asked the proprie
tor. by hoky-poky, It's the cat"
readily responded the officer. The cat
in the meanwhile, seeing way of es-
cape, ran out the door, and order was
once more restored in the house.

The re Deum.

An anecdote of the Emperor Charles
VI. is worth preserving: During the
reign of that monarch, an italian officer
of distinction was dispatched to Vienna
wim news of battle, in which the i'm
perial troops had been completely rout-
ed. On his arrival at the frontier he was
informed by the governor of the first for
titled town he entered that, although the
object of lis journey was to announce a
defeat, he must, on the contrary, proclaim
victory wherever he went and be pre-
ceeded by twenty Or thirty couriers, each
blowing horn. Obliged to conform to
this ridiculous custom, the officer contin-
ued his route, and upon reaching Vienna
was instantly admitted to the imperial
presence; upon which he exclaimed in a
loud tone: Victory, sire, victory add
ing in a lower tone for the especial bene-
fit of the emperor, Sire, your majesty has
lost the day. On receipt of this intelli-
gence, Charles VI. made sign to the
envoy to accompany him into the next
room, and there demanded the particu-
lars of the disaster. What became of
my cavalry?' he asked. 'Cut to pieces,
SIRE replied the officer. And the in
fantrys' 'Bolted as fast as their legs
could carry them, sire The emperor
listened with perfect gravity to this cata-
logue of mistortunes, then, re-enteTing
the hall OF audience, addressed the assem-
bled courtiers as follows: Let TIE
Deum be sung in honor of the triumph
of our arms !"-Belgrauia.

Good Versus Bad Players.

Two good whist players were matched
against two bad players, and the same
arrangement was made in another room,
in which the bad players held the same
hands as the good players in the first
room, and vice versa. TLirty-three
hands were played. In one room the
good players held good cards and won
four rubbers out of six. in points bal
ance of eighteen in the other room the
good players had the bad cards, and
played seven rubbeTs with the same
number of cards, winning three out of
seven, and losing seven points on the
balance. The difference was eleven
points, or nearly one point a rubber in
favor of skill. DR.. Pole, working by q
statistical method, has arrived at nearly
the same result; but he estimates the
advantage of superior personal play,
among players all playing by system, at
about quarter of point rubber. So
that the combined skill of two very
skillful players against two very IN
skillful ones would be more than half @
point rubber.
