Don Cameron In Despair.

Special Despatch to the World.
PHILADELPHIA, July THE conference
between Senator Cameron and his
lieutenants which was held in this city
yesterday formed an interesting topic
among politicians to-day. 1t is gener.
ally conceded that Cameron stiffened
up the weakening backs of his stalwart
coadjutors and told them the fight
must be waged with more vigor. 1t is
also believed that he acknowledged
that his defeat was inevitable, but that
appearances must indicate nothing of
the sort. The attitude.of James M'Manes,
the Gas Trust boss, was considered
somewhat at length, it is said, and his
detection was considered a very serious
feature of the situation. There is no
doubt that determined effort at com.
promise, or the calling of new con.
vention, will be made by the committee
next Wednesday.

An Important Legal Opinion in
Favor of the State.

Some time since "The Fidelity Mu.
tual Aid Association" made application
to Common Pleas Court, No. 4, Of Phil.
adelphia, for change of name to "The
Fidelity Mutual Life Association" The
court made the change asked for, the
proceedings being under the act of 1869,
which authorize Courts of Common
Pleas to change the names as they are
authorized to change the charters of cor.
porations. The Insurance Commission.
er hearing of the change, petitioned tn .
court to revoke the decree it had made
in the premises for the reason that the
change had been made without the
knowledge or consent of the commits
sioner, and was name that he had re.
fused to grant the company, holding
that under the act of 1876, he was the
sole judge as to the propriety of names
adopted, and for the further reason that
the act of 1869 was repealed by the act
of 1876. The latter act repeating all
laws authorizing the change of charters
of Insurance companies. The question
was argued some time ago before the
entire bench, the State being represent
ed by the Attorney General and Ovid F.
Johnson, Esq, of special counsel who
took the above ground. The Fidelity
Company being represented by Hon
Wayne MacVeagh, who argued that the
legislature itself had raised distinction
between acts amending charters and
their amending titles, and that there
fore the act of 1876, which directed the
repeal of act authorizing the amend
ment of charters, did not repeal the
act of 1869, as it was O law relating
to the amendment of titles only, and
that title was not part of charter.
The opinion of the court was delivered
on the first instant, by President Judge
Thayer, and was to the effect that the
position taken by the Commissions er
was the correct one throughout, and
that the decree had been inadvertently
made, and should be revoked. The
opinion, which was an exhaustive one,
sets at rest some important questions
relative to the administration of the
duties of the Insurance Commissioner
that have heretofore been mooted.

Brewster's Opportunity.

The attention of Attorney General
Brewster, says the Harrisburg Patriot,
having been officially called to the
Hon. Jay Hubbell's violation of the
act Of congress forbidding the assess
ment of officers of the United States
government for political purposes it is
reasonable to expect that the depart.
ment ofjustice will proceed to vindicate
the outraged law by bringing an indict.
ment in the proper court against the
audacious offender. The offense
charged against Mr. Hubhell is of a
most serious and odious character, and
II the Attorney General should pass it
over without an effort to enforce the
law in the matter he will subject him
self to a just suspicion that he is willing
to shield the offender for reasons of a
political character. When Brewster
was notified of the charge against
certain citizens of South Carolina for
an alleged violation of the election laws
he made haste to employ special coun.
sci to assist the United States district
attorney in securinga a conviction. Nav.
he was so Jealous of good works in the
interest of free and honest elections
that he issued pronunciamenti
against the perpetrators of election
fraud in which he allowed his zeal to
outrun his discretion. The crime with
which Mr.. Hubbell is charged is even
more fiagitious than that so fiercely de-
nounced and so sternly punished by the
attorney general in the case of the al.
legged South Carolina ballotstuffers. 1t
is doubly wicked because it first black.
mails the officers and employees of the
government and then seeks 10 oorrupt
elections and degrade the ballot, IT
will not do to plead in extenuation
that Mr.. Hubbell has simply followed
a precedent long established. There
are customs which are "more honored
in the breach than in the observance. y
and this is one of them. General
n. NJ. Curtis of the New York custom
house preferred to follow the custom of
his predecessors rather than to respect
the inhibition of the act of congress.
He discovered to his sorrow that Gus.
tom does not always make law, but that
the law is strong enough not only to
regulate customs but 10 control the be-
havior of those who sit in receipt of
them. Mr.. Brewster's duty in the
Hubbell matter is plain. If he should
show a disposition to evade respon.
sibility he will only bring contempt
and odium upon himself and the ad.
ministration of which he is member.

The Tariff Commission and
Ready for Business.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The tariff COM
mission created under the act of Con.
gress approved May Is, 1882, having
been convened by the secretary of the
treasury to meet in Washington, july
6, 1882, assembled in the large parlor OF
the Ebbitt house at ~ o'clock to.dav,
AS early as ii o'clock members of the
commission began to arrive, and after
being introduced to each other gathered
in groups and spent the intervening
time in casual conversation concerning
the magnitude and character of their
prospective labors. At l2 o'clock the
gentlemen comprising the full commits.
SION were in their seats. The president,
Mr.. Hayes, then arose and delivered
the opening address, which was listened
to with close attention.
lie said the commission has no other
functions than those provided by law.
and that the objective point of its labors
is the establishment of iudicious tariff
or revision of the existing tariff upon
scale of justice to all. No special in
dustry can have undue advantage, and
the relations of the industries to each
other, no less than the special necessi
ties of each, must he considered. A
radical or subversive change in the
present general economical policy of
the country is virtually interdicted, and
judicious not revolutionary tariff, q
revision not a destruction Of existing
tariff laws, is declared to be the object
to which the labors Of the commission
should conduce. We may also find a
solution of many questions of opposite
individual or sectional interests, and
may avoid many difficulties by remem-
bering, while not unmindful of justice
TO existing interests, that protective
duties should be imposed or withheld,
not for the benefit of individuals or
special industries, but for the good of
the nation.
Without having perfected a perma-
nent organization the commissioners at
. 30 took a recess and proceeded in a
body 10 pay their respects to the presi.
dent. From the executive mansion
they went to the treasury department
and called upon Secretary Folger.
After the members of the commission
had paid their respects to the president
aud the secretary of the treasury, and
had duly qualified before the latter,
they returned to the Ebbitt house.
When they had reassembled the doors
were closed and admittance was denied
to all, save those directly connected
with the commission. No business Of
importance was transacted, however.
and at 4.3O o'clock the commission adj.
journed without having done more than
discuss the order of business
to be pursued. The commission will
reassemble tomorrow.

HIS OPINION OF sTALWARTIsM AND THE AD-

Consideration of the Sundry Civil APP.
preparation bill being resumed in the
House yesterday, Messrs. Hiscock,

the discussion. Mr.. Bayne, of Penn.
sylvania, also made speech in favor OF
civil service reform and argued in ad
vocacy of restricting the power of the
President in the removal of capable and
efficient officials. He criticized the
present Administration, declaring that
it was as unlike that of President Gar.
field as the administrations of Jackson
and Van Buren were unlike those OF
Washington and Jefferson. Garfield
believed in the reign of law the present
executive in personal government.
Gen. Arthur had violated his promise to
stand by the civil service plank of the
Republican platform. He had removed
faithful and competent officers without
cause, not only violating his promire,
but the constitution and the laws. Th'
Executive and those upon whom he
called for advice had undertaken the
herculean task of stalwartizing the Re
publican party, and that, too, when the
very name of Stalwart had become re.
proach. The bullet of Guiteau had
made mark on the forehead of Stal
wartism that could never be effaced
