MIR. CAMERON DECLINES.

Your Chairman Cannot BE.
The following letter is furnished for pub

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w. Va,
June 90, 1880.
L. Montgomery Bond, Esq.,, No. 1915 Val
nut street, PHILADELPHIA
MY DEAR SIR have your letter Of the
10th inst. In reply to it would say that
agree fully as to the nature of the COM
ing political contest, and, as far as my
health will permit, will do all can to keep
in power the Republican party but,
as to taking the chairmauship of the
national committee, that l cannot do,
for the reason that / am physically
unable to undergo the labors which neces-
sarily belong to the position. found
myself, after the adjournment Of Con-
gress, very much broken down, and
was. therefore, compelled to abandon all my
business affairs-athOugh they had been
neglected during the entire session of
Congressman come here with the
hope Of having my health restored.
am obliged, under the advice
Of my physician, to reamain here for
several weeks. Therefore you see that it
is impossible for me to do as you, as we'll
as many other friends, think ought, dur
ing the coming canvass. You may rest
assured. however, that as soon as l am
we'll enough shall give my entire energies
as a member of the committee to the great
work which is now before us. Yours
truly, J. u. CAMERON.

Hancock at Sunday School.


A Norristown reporter has hunted up
one George White who say that Winfield
and his twin brother Hillary attended the
Sunday school connected withe the Baptist
church in NorristOwn, when they were
eleven or twelve years old. Their father, MIR.
B. F. Hancock, was superintendent of the
school. Mr.. White says: "Winfield and
his brother were very nice, genteel boys
and quick to learn. In fact they were bet
ter posted in education than I was. Sunday
schools, you know, were run little diff
ferent then from what they are now,
and the old plan was not bad one
for testing the memory Of a boy
or girl. We had no lesson papers
issued to all the school every six
months. It was all plain reading out Of
the Bible. There were blue tickets and
red tickets given out to the scholars.
When one of them learned a certain num-
ber of verses he got blue ticket, and
when he got certain number of blue
tickets he got a red ticket. Then at
stated times books were given to those
who had the most red tickets and the
highest number of tickets drew the most
valuable book. Little Testaments were
considered the leading book, and the boy
or girl who had the most red tickets
would geta Testament. All books given out
were founded on the Bible or New Testa-
ment and don't remember any books in
the Sunday school but what contained
light on religious subjects. The Han
cock boys used to learn a great many
verses and Winfield got his full share of
books.

CHAIRMAN Dill has appointed Hon.
William McClelland, of Pittsburgh, as
secretary of the state committee, and
will place him in charge of the head
quarters which will be at once established
in Philadelphia. Mr.. McClelland is well
known to the Democracy of the state
from his service to it in the position of
chairman of the state committee. He is
well acquainted with the business of the
committee, and in every way qualified to
relieve Mr.. Dill of a great deal of labor
connected with the detail of the business
of the campaign, leaving him free to at.
tend to its general conduct. The chair
man will be responsible for all that is
done, and nothing of importance will be
done without his knowledge and direc.
tiOn.
Mr.. Dill has also appointed Genera
Mulholland as one of the secretaries OF
the committee, to take charge of the SOL
dier element of the vote, which also is ar
admirable selection.

GARFIELD.
Left the Fio,d for Congress.

Among the Republican campaign devices
of 1876 nothing did better service nor was
more constantly put to use than the apo
cryphal story about Hayes's reply to the
committee of his congressional district
when apprised Of his nomination for Con-
gress in 1864 and asked to come home and
take the stump.
"Yours received. Thanks. have
other business just now. Any man who
would leave the army at this time to g iec-
tioneer for Congress or any other place
ought to be scalped. Yours,
"R. B. HAYES"
Garfield entered the army in August,
1861. In less than year he cleft the army
to electioneer for Congress" he having
been nominated in the Nineteenth Ohio
district. The army record shows that he
was absent "on account of sickness" But
the newspaper files Of the period show that
he was on the stump in the Ashtabula dis
trict until after the election in October.
Then he returned to the army only to re-
main till the assembling of Congress in
1868, when he resigned for good.

Don Photographed.

Philadelphia Telegraph, Rep.
OF all the self-styled and presumptuous
managers who went into the third-term
business, Mr.. J. Don Cameron cut the
most inglorious figure at Chicago. In the
beginning of the contest his arrogance was
sublime. He contemptuOusly swept aside
his opponents, and bid his followers have
no fear In the heat of battle his sword
was powerless, his tongue paralyzed, his
whole attitude that of demoralized and
utterly broken leader, who had forfeited
alike the respect of friends and foes. But
as picture of childish sulkiness he was
immense. His frown was terrible, and he
has not been known to smile since. As a
matter of courtesy, in no sense earned,
however, he was renamed member of the
national COMMITTEES. But no one was SO
silly as to suggest his reelection to the
position which he had 50 discreditably
filled. It was universally declared that the
committee must have as chairman a man
and not a mule leader who would go
for ward as the majority should direct, and
not stubbornly and viciously back the ma
chine over an embankment cut of pure Gus
sedness at not having his own way. There
had been enough of the rule-or-ruin policy,
and no more such disgraceful exhibitions
were desired.

A Wonderful Clock.


A wonderful clock, said to be superior
in mechanism and the variety of its per-
formances to the famed Strasburg astro-
nomical and apostolic clock, has been con
structed at Detroit by Professor Felix
Meters, a gentleman who has devoted his
entire life to the study of astronomy and
mechanics. It is called the American Ma
tiOnal Astronomical clock, and it is prob
ably the most complex and ingenious horo-
logical work that the hand of man has
ever produced. The clock is 18 feet
high, feet wide, and 5 feet deep, and
weighs 4, 900 pounds. 1t is wound once in
12 days, and is run by weights of 700
pounds. 1t shows the local time in hours,
minutes and seconds, and the time of thir-
teen other cities of the world, among
which are Washington, San Francisco,
Melbourne, Pekin, Cairo, Constantinople,
St. Petersburg, London, Berlin and Paris.
1t alse denotes the movements of
the planets, and measures their
movements by seasons, years and
cycles for 200 years, including leap
years. Concealed in its interior is a music
box which plays when Death strikes each
hour. At the same moment the figure of
Washington, seated in a chair beneath a
canopy, rises to his feet, holding the Dec
laration OF Independence in his right hand.
A liveried servant sitting at the right
hand also rises and opens a door through
which comes all the presidents of the United
States, who march in review before
the effigy of Washington, saluting him
as they pass. The procession disappears
through door on the opposite side Of the
platform, which is opened and closed by
servant in gorgeous livery. The likenesses
of these figures include that of Hayes, who
is in the rear, and are said to be excellent.
AS soon as the door is closed the figure of
Washington resumes its chair of state, and
all is quiet till the hammer of Death again
sounds the hour on the gong, when the ex-
traordinary scene is repeated. The quarter
hours are struck by an infant, the half
hours by a youth, the three-quarters by a
man. The South church, Boston, has
offered s45. 900 for the clock, the price Of
which is $5O,O 900.

SENATOR CAMERON finds himself ply
sically unfit to assume the charge of the
Garfield campaign. Probably Mr.. Cam
eron tells a part of the truth; if he told
it all it would certainly appear that his
mental rather than his bodily con-
dition bids him refrain from continuing
in the highly honorable and responsible
position which he was lately so eager to
grasp. Mr.. Cameron does not see fair
prospect of electing Mr.. Garfield; nor
does he have any confidence that it would
be a good thing for him if he was elected.

HANCOCK AND MRS. sURRATT.
What Counsel for the Defense Says of Il

Occasion of the Execution

What Counsel for tho Defense Says of the
Generals sympathy and Position ON the
Occasion of the Execution
Mr.. John w. Clampitt, the only surviv-
ing counsel for Mrs. Surratt, having his
attention called yesterday to an interview
with Mr.. and Mrs. Tonry, Of Baltimore,
in which Mr.. Tonry is reported as having
said that 'the statements of MIR. Clampitt,
Bishop Keane and Father Walter that
General Hancock had greater sympathyfor
the unfortunate woman (Mrs. Surratt) land
waited until the last moment, hoping for a
reprieve, is worse than nOnsence" which
interview had since been pronounced by
Prof. Tonry to be bald forgery said to a
Herald correspondent that neither Annie
Surratt, who is now Mrs. Tonry, nor Mr..
Tonry, was present at his interview with
Gen. Hancock, just previous to the execu-
ton of Mrs. Surratt. At the time of the
execution she (Annie) was in room cn
the second floor Of the arsenal. Her mother
was, just previous to the execution, in
cell on the ground floor, and neither
Annie nor Mr.. TOnry was present when the
counsel parted with Mrs. Surratt and said
good-by for the last time. No one was
there but Fathers Walter and Wigett. Mr..
Clampitt, after leaving Mrs. Surratt, went
