From the Washington post
Senator Butler OF South Carolina,
and Senator Don Cameron are very
close personal friends, and may be
seen together almost any evening. The
friendship Is hereditary, descending
from Buffers uncle and Cameron's
father, who were both United States
senator's. Simon Cameron's election
was contested on one occasion, and it
was likely to be invalidated but for
the efforts and the vote of Uncle But
Ter, who was then member of.the
committee on privileges and elections.
Simon Cameron never forgot the SER
vice then done and longed in some
way to repay it.
One day Mr.. Butler fthe pres
ent senatorl happenened to DO
at the capitol on little matter
of business, when he CHANGED 70 run
across old Senator Cameron. Int

siare yoI any relative to Senator Tut
Ter OF South Carolina?" "a nephew,
sir" "a nephew of Senator But Ter.
Well, can do anything for yon, my
boy?" "T'he house, said the young
man, "has Just cast an adverse vote
on bill TO remove some political dis
abilities under which / am at present
laboring. You could rot do anything
better than make the house reverse
its vote" Mr.. Butler had no idea
that such a thing could De done, but
in less than FIVE minutes the house
had reversed its vote, and by the e1-
ertion of Simon Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania the political disabilities of the
present senator from South Carolina
were removed.
