Simon Cameron.

WILLIAM 7. CRoAsDALE writes for HENRY
GEoRGR's paper, the New York Standard, an
article setting forth what manner Of man
the late SIMON CAMERON was. Philoso-
phfZing, he says that while that crowned
charlatan Louis NAPOLEON still sat on the
improvised throne of his rotten empire
patriotic Henchman declared that patriot
ism and public virtue in France could not
survive the spectacle Of the mans peace
full death in full possession Of the power
and title of Emperor. And he did not die
in the possession Of the power and title of
Emperor, but in q foreign country. So
that patriotism and public virtue" were
not put 10 the test named. We heard one
of the most thoughtful men we ever knew
(now dead) make when Mr.. LINCOLN died
"A remark somewhat like that of phe pa
triotio Frenchman. He said nothing harsh
Of Mr.. LINCOLN, but seemed to regard it as
case coming within the Scriptural rule,
He that takes the sword shall perish by
the sword"
Now, as to SIMON CAMERON. Here is Mr..
CRoAfnALK's estimate of the man, made in
disregard of the fact that he is dead, and
as d duty to the public. Mr.. CEoAsDALE
says:
THE ninety years Of this mans life were
marked by no high purpose and no act OF
his will be remembered by future genera
lions as an inspiration TO brave deeds or
noble thoughts. Though factor IN public
affairs through half our history as nation,
no great measure of wisdom or justice is
associated with his name. Craft was the
one quality 20 which he owed his success
aud no moral consideration ever was per-
mitted 10 stand for a moment between hmm
and his purpose. He was notorious cor
rupter of men and no one doubts that he
once bought his way into the United States
Senate and almost succeeded in doing so q
second time. The absolute baseneSs of
Pennsy lyania politics IS the true measure
of his greatness and the chief monument to
his power"
AT the supreme crisis Of our ccuntry's
affairs Cameron made the War Department
the centre Of such dishonest iobbery that
Lincoln was forced 10 remove him, though
he subsequently, thought II wise 20 break
his SeTetary's fall by giving him the Rus
sian mission"
THE death of Simon Cameron, full of
years and honors, after a life whose true
storyis like unto the sinuous trail Of SER
pent over nearly q century OF our country's
history, cannot fail of some such effect as
the Frenchman feared that Louis Napo-
Icons peaceful death on the throne would
have on the young men of France"
80 long as such conditions continue
money will buy the highest places in the
State, an easily corrupted people will be
brlbed 10 confess their own degradation
and exalt the unworthy 20 high places, and
the INSCRIPTIONS craft and unblushing
corruption that marked the career OF
Simon Cameron win continue 70 be the
easiest avenues 10 wealth and honor, while
public virtue and private conscience will
remain edectual barriers to conspicuous
success.'

VALUABLE RELICS.
The Botetourt Cofin-PIate and the Ole
Sun-DiaI.

Sun-DiaI.
A letter from Williamsburg to the Dis
patch says:
Besides the restoration at the William
and Mary commencement by the Governor
Of the cOfin-plate Of Lord BotetOurt, there
was restored on the last day of the celebra-
tion the old sun-dial which had stood be-
fore the presidents house for upwards of
a hundred years, and which had been taken
away during the war. This kind act was
performed by the talented Glider family,
of New York consisting Of Joseph b. Gil
der aud his sister Miss jeanette Glider,
editors of the New York CTltic, and their
brother Richard W. Glider, editor of the
CeatuV. suitable resolution of thanks
was Immediately passed by the Board of
Visitors. The Lord Botetourt plate will
be set in marble and let into the wall of
the chapel near the vault which contains
the remains of Lord BotetOurt, while the
old sun-dial will be placed in the rear of
the college between the two wings, the
shade being so dense before the presidents
house as TO render its old position insult
able.
The old sun-dial is curious and at the
same time an interesting piece of work.
II has marked upon its face the time of
the day at London, Vienna, Constantine
pie, Jerusalem. the Barbados. and Mexico.
How often IN the past did jefferson, Mon
roe, and others of the grand old patriots
stand beside this relic and amuse them
selves comparing the times of the day in
the most remote parts of the world.

The Washington Post mas its own opinion
as to the authorship of the Arthur-Rich-
mond letters. 1t SAYS:
"On their very face Julian Hawthorne's
authorship seems inherently improbable.
Not so in the case of Gail Hamilton. The
letters are written in her trenchant and
polished style, and being member of Mr..
Blaine's household, she doubtless had the
aid of his inspiration and revision. Dom
Piatt and W. H. Hurlburt have been men,
toned in this competition, but both are i'm
probable. We necessarily fall back on Gail
Hamilton, with Mr.. Blaine in the rear as
her valuable assistant"
Gail Hamilton does not need assistance
even from Mr.. BLAINE. She is female

In an article that would fill column of
the Dispatch the New York Times of yester-
day undertakes to show that AUGUSTUS Il.
CAzAURAN wrote the Arthur Richmond let
tiers. This story won't do. We shall next
hear that SULLIVAN wrote them. There
will be no difficulty in finding a hundred
persons willing to be known as their author,
and claiming TO be after the manner of
CAgAuRAN's claim.

The Pension Office has allowed man a
pension on the ground that when he stirred
a Ere with a loaded gun-barrel and got hurt
by the explosion that followed he was act
ing in the line Of duty. The verdict of
the public, however, will be that he was
acting the fool.

"The people who made up.the pugilistic

Yesterdays Wedding of Charles o. Alex
ander and Miss Minnie Carroll

Yesterdays Wedding of Charles o. Alex
ander and Miss Minnie Carroll.
The marriage of Miss Minnie Prescott
Carroll. Of this city, daughter of the late
John f. Carroll, to Charles o. Alexander,
of Oakland, was celebrated yesterday in
St. Paurs Church, Bishop Wingfeld Off
ciating, assisted by the Rev. J. F. Won
Herrlich. The church was handsomely
decorated, and was comfortably filed bv
the many friends and relatives of the bridal
pair.
While awaiting the arrival of the we'd
ding party, the organist, Mrs, Pinkham
discoursed sweet music, aud at - o'clock
the boy choir, singing the wedding chorus
from Lohengrin," entered the church and
proceeded slowly up the middle aisle, fol-
lowed by the ushers, Will Hamilton, NJ. S.
Wilson. Harry Houghton and Edgar Miz-
ner. After these came the prettily- attired
bridesmaids, Misses Leila Carroll. Z. Pink
Cosby, Laura Clarke, Fannie Thompson
and Nave Carroll, and two charming little
children, Lurline Spreckels and Ted Schaw
Lastly appeared the lovely young bride,
leaning on the arm of her brother, Edgar
Carroll. At the chancel they were received
by the groom, who was attended by A. II.
Small.
During the impressive Episcopal service
the quartet from the wedding chorus or
Lohengrin.'' Believe Me, If All Those
Endearing Young Charms" and Call Me
Thine Own" were rendered in the vestry
by Messrs. Cohen, Barrett, Osborne, Grove,
Schaden and Genshlea.
After receiving the benediction the happy
pair and their attendants tripped lightly
away to the Joyous strains of Mendels-
sohnis Wedding March"
A brief reception was held at the resi-
dence of the BRIDE and the newly-wedded
couple departed for San Francisco on the
afternoon train, accompanied by a large
number of friends from that city and Oak
land

DRAINAGE CLAIMS.
The Last of Them Allowed by the Sta
Board of Examiners.

The Last of Them Allowed by the State
Board of Examiners.
The State Board of Examiners has al
lowed the claims incurred under the Act to
promote drainage, and which were left IN
audited by the Drainage Commissioners
when the Supreme Court decided that the
law under which they were acting was un-
constitutional.
The late Legislature provided for an ap-
preparation of some $4,000 to meet these
unaudited claims, and when the Controller
draws his warrants for the payment of the
same the drainage claims will be thing of
the past.
There is still pending before the Board of
Examiners demand of Judge Craddock
for about $1,000. The Supreme Court re-
Gently decided, in the case of Callahan VS..
Dunn, which it has been held involved the
legality of the Craddock claim, that the
State was not authorized to pay this class
of claims.
Judge Craddock now contends that his
demand comes within the Act providing
for the payment of unaudited claims. The
Board OF Examiners has the matter under
Amusement.

An Entertainment at Perkins.

few evenings since the ladies of the
Union Sunday School at Perkins Station
gave an ice cream social, which proved a
decided success. The residents in the vi
cinity, as well as quite number from this
city, responded most generously to the call
for aid from the little school that has often
been threatened with extinction in the
maelstrom Of public indifference Besides
the liberal patronage of the ice cream
tables, there were several donations in
money, amounting from fifty cents to IS,
the latter sum being given by prominent
county official once resident of that little
burg.
The chief feature of the evening was the
following literary programme, each num-
Der being well rendered, and receiving the
warm applause that it merited: Opening
song by the school; solo, Kathleen Miss
Lottie Stubs; recitation, "Seven Times
One" Miss Lizzie McCord duet. "Music
on the Waves" Misses krull and Clark !:
reading, How Mary Caught the Train, y
Miss Nettie Teeple; solo, 4" Hearest Thou"
