OLD TIME POLITICS.
From An Interview With Ex-senator Da-

"There are not many of your contempora-
ries left, sir"
"Not many. There is Hannibal Hamlin.
He was comparatively young senator, and
knew but little of him. He was a democrat
in those days. Simon Cameron was good
democrat, too. Pennsylvania, when Cameron
first came to the senate, was the keystone of
the democratic arch, as we called her, but the
growth of her iron interests inclined her
people toward protective tariff. j shall al
ways respect old Cameron. He was q kind
hearted, good man. expect hos done as
many good deeds as any man in his state.
Many were the young men who went through
his printing Office and were started in life by
him, for his purse was always open to help
them. / suppose that was the secret of his
great power in his state, for nine-tenths of
the young men he helped became newspaper
men. 1t was through Cameron | made the
acquaintance of Ben Brewster, now attorney
general Brewster was just commencing to
practice before the supreme court. He, too,
was good democrat in those days"

not looked at it in this light, and say that

CASE OF LOCAL INTEREST
Decided TN the Uaited states Supreme
Court This Week.


WASHINGTON, December l3.-Among the
decisions of the Supreme Court reported
this week, was that OF 0key Randall vs.. the
B. < o. railroad, argued before the Court by
Black Doverer, of your city, short time
stree. The case is one OF not only of local
interest, but settles some points of law Of
special interest to railroad employees. Ran
dali was hurt while in the employ OF the
road, as brakeman, / think, and brought
suit 10 recover damages in the West Nir
ginia State Courts. The suit was subse-
quentiy removed into the United States
District and carried up on appeal from
some OF Judge Jackson's rulings. The de-
tense ,et up by the company was, that
Randalls injuries were occasioned by the
coutributory negligence OF a CO employe,
possibly a fellow. brakeman, and that
plaintiff must look to such co-employe
and not the company, for damages; that
the responsibility OF the company to its
employees ended when il provided good ma
chinery, etc, and and that il any OF them
were hurt through the carelessness OF their
fellow -workmen, their only recourse was
upon such fellow workmen. 1t IS init
mated that the ruling would be different
in the case OF a passenger hurt, but so far
as EMPLOYEES are concerned the DECISION
seems 10 leave them in the position OF set
Ting their injuries among themselves.

him for the judgeship; that people OF his

or veracity; that his judicial career mas

corruption and malefessance in office, and,
In brief conducted his Office in such way

Legislature in 1870. He is very fair type
of many other members of the judiciary
elected by the same party at the same time.
1t is said that an effort will be made oy the
Democrats to impeach several OF that class
at this session OF the Legislature. Not
withstanding all these ugly charges made
by Democrats against him, Mays recently
expressed it as mis- opinion that Malone is

Triple Aiiihs'Ct-
CHuAgo, December l3-General Mana.
gers Hughitt, OF tie Northwestern, and
Clark. OF the Union Pacific railroads, ar
rived here from New York this morning.
Mr.. Hurhitt stated 10 the representative Of
the Associated Press that the Northwestern
Company had been informally notified Of
the existence of triple alliance between
the Union Pacific, Rock Island and st.
Paul roads. but the terms of the compact,
which has been signed. has not yet been
outlined.
An informal office has also been given to
the Southwestern road that 1t could enter
the new association, bat on what terms 1t
is also not stated. The policy OF the North
western was, as has been from the outset,
for the peaceful adjustment of any differ.
enCes On the Union Pacific business ami
any action which might be pursued ny the
NCrthW estern in a certain alternative
would certainly not be outlined until the
exact position of the three roads in the
new ass ociaton has been disclosed.
His deliberate view was that the mon
PscitiC could not afford 10 enter upon any
serious discrimination agsinst any OF It's
fee ders. hut in any event the Northwestern
is expected to be able to protect its inter
esrs, and would certainly do so. He could
not say that the new agreement would De
disclose at the adjourned meeting OF the
Iowa pool next Tuesday, as it did not
properly form part OF the business oi
the old association. If at that session the
old association was renewed, he did not
understand that it came in conflict in any
wy with the new arrangement, and that
N the event OF q renewal of the old pool,
tie new agreement would remain in abey-
arce so long as five roads now touching
st Omaha could work together under the
old plsn.
Mr. Clsrk. of the Union 'acific, and Mr..
Potter, of the Burlington, had confer
ence this morning, but the new agreement
WIS not touched upon.

RAILROAD SCHEMES.
IN WASHINGTON HARD AT WORK.
A Prospective 0Yerhauling for Brewster
A Case Of Local Interest i, the
Supreme Court -Bayard
and Edmunds.
Special 10 tie Register.

WASHINGTON, December IS - Quite a
number Of those interested in the new
Fairmoat, Morgantown and Pittsburgh
Railroad Company, including Col. John f.
Mason, OF Grafton; George c. Sturs;ss and
J. Marshall Hsgsns, Of Morgantown, aud
several Others living along the proposed
line have been here for several days igur-
ing on that project. They do not seem dis
posed 10 talk much about it, but the true
inwsrdness of the scheme seems to be to
consolidate the various enterprises which
have been endesyoring to establish another
outlet than the Baltimore and Ohio road
for Harrison, Marion and Monongalia
counties. The corporation above men
toned only proposes to run the line from
Fairmont, in Marion county, to the Penn
sylvania State line and connect there with
s branch either from the Pennsylvania
railroad or the Vanderbilt system; but il is
shrewdly surmised that the plan is intend
ed to hitch on the RAILROAD which r. 7.
Lowndes, ex-Congressman Wilson and
Others of Ciarksburg, have been projecting
in the same direction and on which con
siderable work in the way OF maps, sur
yeys, ETC., has been done, and also
to secure the interest in Monongalia
county which has heretofore favored the
Morgantown road to Irondale, near New
burg, on the B. < o. l do not know
whether such consolidation can be effected
or not. MorgantOHn district in Monongalia
county voted some forty thousand dollars
TO the Irondale road, and thereby ran up
close to the limit of her ability to subscribe
for railroad purposes. Whether the county
as a whole can vote help to the new enter
prise sufficient to furnish her share OF the
cost Of building it is questionable, and it is
a mooted point whether Morgantown dis
triCt can divers her subscription from the
IrUDdale people, who want 20 hold on TO it,
10 this new enterprise. There IS no doubt,
hOSeyer. but that the chances Ut letting
smother outlet in the direction Of Pitts
bUggh would De materially strengthened if
the djtIerent plans proposed could De con-
soida.ed and the various Interests made
TO work in harmony. Mr.. S5erglss, Of Nor
gantown, told me yesterday that never
since railroad communication through
MOnOngalia county TO the Pennsylvania
State lire has been talked of had the out
side people been ss much interested, or
shown aS much disposition 10 assist. as at
present. Ian.
