The editor of the Philadelphia Times
ought to know that the Cameron is always
strongest and most dangerous when appa-
rently on tho very brink of defeat and ruin.
The soul of Simon has ever risen within him
equal to any emergency when his enemies
were thickest around, and with his plaid
across his bosom, and claymore in hand,
with mighty sweeps he has laid his foes at his
feet. The Don is worthy son of an invinci-
bic father, and the father is still there to
aid the son. AT the sound OF
his slogan the clan of Cameron rises from
every heather and pours from every noun
tain gorge of Pennsylvania TO do their chiefs
bidding. The Times thinks that Pennsylva-
MIA is for Blaine and not for Grant and that
Senator Cameron must compromise with his
foes. 1t says "Senator Cameron has one
plain way out of the peril that encompasses
him, and it is the way that greatness would
choose. He has made a mistake in assuming
that Pennsylvania is for Grant, and the
grandest quality of power, next to always
being right is to give manly admission OF
error. Grant did it in the San Domingo
scheme, and Cameron will best serve Came
ron by doing it now. 1t is clear as noon to-
day tho Republicans of Pennsylvania don't
want Grant; it is equally clear that they do
want Blaine, and the true way to lead is to give
Pennsylvania her full power in the National
Convention in harmony with the wishes of
her people. 1t isn't always safe to run
political parties on the principle of cheap
boarding houses, which try to find out what
boarders don't want and then givethem plen-
ty of it. There has been rather more of that
sort of political hash given to the boarders
about the Republican table in this State than
they are willing to stand as steady diet, and
Cameron will vastly popularize bis establish
ment by giving his several hundred thousand
Republican boarders one good square Blaine
meal for 1880.

In splendid spirit of accommodation, this
musical genius favored us and the ladies of
the Grand-Windsor hotel yesterday, with
a rare tlcat, in selections from his repertoire
of come, society and sacred songs. With a
strong, rich and sweet voice of wonderful
hexibility and varying intonations he de-
lighted all with such pieces as 1.-THE Nation
with Big N, and General Grant Its
King" "Vocal Muddles," "The Cat in
Classics" etc. The ladies were delighted from
first to last, and the gentlemen were enthu-
sastic in their praise and kept in
war of laughter throughout.
We have always been independent and
frank in the matter of our criticisms on mu-
steal and theatrical entertainments, never
recommending to our people save where it
was proper and well, and We say now to all
our citizens BY no means to miss hearing this
musical prodigy. Ile will keap them in n
roar ut his comedies, or charmed with his sa-
cred selections. Don't fail TO go to the
opera-house Mt O'Clock this afternoon.

The San Antonio Express, of Sunday,
comes to us in leviathan proportions. 1t con-
tains ten pages or eighty columns of matter
set solid, and of the most interesting nature.
Here and there through its pages appear cuts
of tho principal business houses of San An
tonic, and its points of interest among which
is the renowned Alamo and the other old
Mission churches. Hans Mickle and Ca
lamity jim are not forgotten, but figure as
large as life on one of the pages. The issue
is not only a credit to San Antonio and
Western Texas, but to the entire State, nnc
the brain and enterprise that conceived and
executed it deserve to succeed, aud we sin
cerely trust that an eminent success awaits
the Express.

NoTlNG the fact that the Indian oppro'

system of reduction to tit the appropriation

arithmetic worth thinking about.

THE DALLAS, oLBBURNB&R RIO GRANDE R.R


1t will be remembered or has it been for
gotten? that this is the last day of grace for
entering up the judgment by default against
the people of Dallas, and the very serious
question presents itselfthis morning to every
we'll wisher of the city, what is to be the fate OF
the above enterprise of which so much has
been recently said ? The dim, gaunt, phan-
tom of uncertainty has disturbed our visions
long enough, and to-days sun ought to go
down frnged in something better than the
smoky light of the unaccomplished in this
business. AT three o'clock this afternoon
the knell will sound, and Dallas will be an
nounced as defaulter in one of the most
important in its results, and yet
one of the highest in its demands
of her most momentous interests.
Whether our real estate owners have preferred
to dream on in their quiet surroundings, of
lawns and streets with tufted and untrodden
velvet grass, with wayside cherubm to make
them rich by chance, or have, like men with
practical intelligence. determined to be up
and doing in their own interests whether
our merchants have, with blind faith, trusted
10 some unknown powers to increase their
stores, or like business men have arisen equal
to the occasion, will all be disclosed this
afternoon. Tomorrow mornings paper will
therefore announce their credits or proclaim
the shortcoming of those who ought to have
done better.
The committee from johnson county will
be here to say 10 our people, ave have our
$4,000, have you your S25,0OO!" We
