the United State Senate to accept the
first vice presidency of the Pennsylvania
from which Mr.. Cassatt will
shortly retire. Senator Cameron has too
much good sense and too high regard
for his personal comfort to make that
if il was offered to him by de-
mented directors of the Pennsylvania
railroad. Such conception Of unsOund
minds all around, as the fellow had who
got up this tale, never happened before
even to 4 Washington stOry-teller. Don
Cameron, poor as he is at political leader
ship, makes much better fist at it
than he would at running a railroad.
Tom Scott hOisted him out of the North
ern Central presidency, where he exhib-
tied only a mastery capacity for filling
his purse. The Pennsylvania railroad
does not want him ; nor he it.
HuBEELL: Humph ! How can the peo.
pie accuse me now? l assess only for
hundreds Congress demands millions,
and it wants them for political purposes,
too.
DoN CAMERON to Arthur THE people
don'r want this bill passed-vetO it I'll
vote uay, but all the same we'll have the
other fellows mako it law-it may be a
feather in my hat, you know ~
SENATOR CAMERON announces that the
purpose of the regular organization IN the
present campaign in Pennsylvania will he
to give the Independents the cold shoulder
and as far as possible "pass them by in
silence" That's just where the rub comes
in though, Mr.. Senator; as far as posi-
bic won't be very far when you come to
consider what an active, restless, aggres
sive warfare will be kept up on your flank
by these samo Independents whom You
are so ready ," to give the cold shoulder. !"
THE latest conspicuous illustration of
the wise saying that a prophet is not with.
out honor save iu his own country, comes
from Mason county, which is in Michigan,
which is a Republican stronghold,
and abuve ali, which is the home of the
Hubbell. The ncws from thore states that
tho district has instructed its delegates to
vote for Ferry for senator against Hub
bell. and that tho lido of feeling against
the two per cent. statesman is SO
strong that a candidate for local Office
deemed it prudent to "hurl back with
scorn" the insinuation that lie was Hub
bell man.
The Now York World gathers from the
record of yesterdays vote in the two
houses on the River and Harbor bill, that
the Democratic party in Congress consist
ed of the following members: Senate
Bayard, Beck, Pendleton, Harris and
Salisbury, 5. Housc.-Belmont, Blount,
Buchanan, Caldwell, Cassidy, Colerick,
Converse, Cox, Ermentrout, Hammond,
Hardy, Hewitt, Holman. Hutchius, Klotz,
Loadom, Lefevre, Mutchler, Randall, Rob.
inson, On. W, Scales IN. c.. Springer,
Stockslagcr, Townshend, Turner ga },
Turner Ry.), Tyler, Warner, Whitthorne
and Willis, 30. This will probably dis
appoint the Democratic voters Of the
Union, who have supposed themselves to
be much more strongly represented at
Washington. The names quoted are the
only ones found supporting President
Arthur's veto OF tho great steal that has
been rushed through Congress in such in
decent haste aud insolent defiance of every
principle of common honesty.
The reason which Oscar Wilde has in
traversing this country appears to be a
very plain matter Of opinion. That there
is very little method in his perambulations
is discernible from tue fact that, although
! it is true few are anxious to hear him, he
has not for some time said or done any
thing that might bear the semblauce OF
unusual importance or develop regard fo,
his soulful mind. Indeed, it much ap.
pears that Oscar is perfectly content with
meeting and passing, in his own belief,
profound criticisms upon American ladies,
some of whom, We arc constrained to own,
are happy to praise him Gin amorous dit

Of flutes and soft recorders, that We have
positively no right to expect an emanatiou
from his exquisite intellect that may war

Oscar braved the heaving pillows and
which was to enlighten and develop our
