WHT CAMERON LEFT LINCOLN'S CABINET, la letter of lion. A. K. McClure, giving Terslon of the causes of Cameron's retirement from Linooln'a Cabinet which differs widely from that contained in the artiole contributed by Senator Wilson to the Atlantic Monthly, has attraoted no little attention. It has been republished, in whole or part, by a number of our contemporaries, and wide circulation has been given to its statements. On the Other hand, our correspondent at Washington telegraphs us that Cameron pronounoes the letter false in all its particulars, and the Press of this morning contains a Washington special declaring that Hon. S. P. Chase fully endorsos the statements made by Senator Wilson. We are thus furnished with a new instance of the old saving that the posthumous reputation of great men depends upon their biographers. The life of Lord Byron, as written by Harriet Beeoher Stowe, would present a decided con trast to the work on the same subject which was issued by Tom Moore. William B. Heed's tale Of bis grandfather differs widely from stories told by other authors. And Simon Cameron's history, as given by Mr. MoClure, would con vey to posterity an impression of the ex Secretary of Wax widely different from that which they would receive from the statements of his eulogists. Senator Wilson has said that the criticisms of the conduct of Senator Cameron, while he was War Minister, were "harsh and generally undeserved: " that his resignation was a yoluntary aot, prompted by a patriotic motive, and made on condition that "some one should be appointed not unfriendly to his policy;" and that he is entitled to the credit of selecting Mr. Stanton as his successor all of whioh statements are substantially denied by Mr. MoClnre. The truth of history and Cameron's reputation are at stake in this controversy, and now since it has been com menced, all the facts bearing upon it should be made known to the public. If Cameron was kioked out of the Cabinet, and if the Correspondence published about that time was ' mere plaster to heal his wounds, the nation should not bo humbugged into the belief that he was one of the best of the good, and one of the greatest of the great, men of the grandest epoch of American history. As the case now Stands, we have, first, Senator Wilson as a witness on the one side; seoond, Hon. A, K. MoClure's positive denial on the other; and third, contradictions of Mr. McClure by , Cameron, which are said to be sustained by Mr. Chase. Under these ciroumstanoes, if Mr. MoClure has additional evidence to offer, ft should be forthcoming, so that his posi tion may be strengthened against the assaults of his adversaries. If he can show that Lin coln had good and sufficient reasons for summarily ejecting Cameron from the Cabinet, his own positive testimony will thereby be fortified. If it shall appear that the Congress of the United States, containing a large ma jority of Republican members, virtually de manded his removal, on aooount of alleged complicity with extraordinary appropriations of public money by Colonel Alexander Cum mings, of straw-hat, mackerel, and white-pantaloons notoriety, or for other reasons, Mr. McClure's evidence will be strongly corrobo rated. The controversy will prove fruitless if it is finally closed before the people know de finitely whether a niche among the nainta is to be awarded to Cameron, or whether he is to be ranked among the sinners. ' THE WAR CLAIMS OF THE BORDER COUNTIES. . The grand scheme of the present session for plundering the tax-payers of the State came ftp for consideration in the lower branch of the Legislature yesterday. It provides for the payment of alleged damages said to have been suffered by citizens of York, Perry, Cumberland, Adams, Fulton, and Bedford counties during the war, and while it directs that a loan of $750,000 Bhall be made at once to defray these claims, the opponents of the bill allege that if it passes it will cost the Commonwealth $3,000,000. They also assert that if anybody is liable it was the General Government and not the State. In spite of these objections ana otners stm more powerful, 47 members voted to fix a special session to consider the bill against 41 in the negative. Among the yeas are four of the re-eleoted Republican members of this oity Messrs. Adaire, Bunn, Cloud, and ITong; and we are agreeably surprised to find Davis and Stokes Toting in the negative. If the Legis lature wants to give away millions of the people's money, there are a hundred objects more meritorious and or more pressing lm Dortanoe than the claimants for war dam ases. Let them do something for- the rnliftf of the overburthened tax-payers of the respective cities, counties, boroaghs, end townships. Let them .appro priate more money to the schools, or to charitable institutions, or assume a portion of the debts contracted for the payment of boon ties. It is difficult to repress the suspicion that the leading argument in favor of the claim bill is the opportunity it offers for in directly voting money out of the treasury into the pockets of its legislative supporters. When they make donations to people who have no legitimate claim, and who consider that every rant thev cet is clear profit, a wide marrin is left for oontingenoies, and the unhappy , bereft of lfa,f.nll. , i, , fat pigs, or poultry, can well afford to make lmndsotno provirilon' for' the iendor-heftrtel K'fiislutors yhote sympathies they have inn DETHRONEMENT OF the KINO OF BAVARIA. ; A CAnr.E doapatoh from Munioh gives us the important rumor that the . Bavarian Council is considering the dethronement of the King. Exactly how the Counoil will accomplish' this wo nre unable to Hay, especially if his Majesty should prove recalcitrant. But there is soaroely any doubt that auoh an aot would be popular and for the good of the country, for the King is very much of a nuisance, on account of his peculiar idiosvnoraoiea, whioh render him totally unfit to be the ruler of a nation. Louis Otto Frederick William, the present King of Bavaria, was born at Nymphenburg on the 25th of August, 184.1, and he sucoeeded his father, Maximilian Joseph II, in 1864.! He inherits, in an exaggerated degree, many of the peculiarities of disposition that made his grandfather, the famous Louis' Charles Au gustus, such a remarkable figure. In both of these monarchs love of art developed into a monomania, and the old King devoted all his energies and all his revenues to the acquisi tion of superior works, to the building of art galleries, and to . the promotion of artistio culturo among his people. The 'graceful dancing of Lola Montez so flattered his msthetio tastes that she was able to win her way to his affections, and for several years her influence over the King was such that she was practically the ruler of Bavaria. In spite of his weakness in matters of art, this monarch was a shrewd business man, and he was on more than one occasion chosen as arbitrator in matters of dispute between dif ferent powers. The present King has none of the adminis trative talent of his grandfather, whilo ho has inherited from him an testhetio culture that has developed into a disease. In other word, Louis Otto Frederick William is crazy on the subject of art, his monomania taking the direction of a passionate fondness for the music of Richard Wagner. This is a species of perverted taste that can only find a parallel in the enthusiastio admiration whioh a few demented Englishmen express for the "bar baric yawps" of Walt Whitman, Wagner's "musio of the future" being likely to oome into general popularity about the same time as Whitman's poetrv. and not before. If the King were to merely admire Wagner's noises, and patronize them in a moderately royal manner, it might be considered merely as one of those eccentricities of taste that all highly cultivated men are liable to suffer under to a greater or less degree. His position, however, has relieved him from the restraints of ordinary connois seurs, and has furnished him with means and opportunities to gratify his tastes, until it has become neoessary to consider the ques tion of removing him as incapable of perform ing the duties of his office. The King has ex pended immense sums of money in the pro duction of Wagner's operas . and in other similar extravagances, ' to the material detri ment of the revenues of the country, and the probabilities are that some , new freak has convinoed his counsellors that he is no longer fit to retain even the shadow of power. It is very doubtful whether the King will make any very vigorous re sistance to the attempt to . dethrone him, especially if he is secured in his retirement the means to gratify his musical and artistio tastes. He has no wife or children, so that the usual family considerations do not oome into the question, and if the Council only promises to appoint Wagner to the position of chief fiddler of his household, to beguile his retirement, he maybe induoed to abdioate without making any trouble about it or neces sitating forcible measures to procure his re moval. : : t the PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY. RAILROAD On our fifth page we publish the annual re port of the Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This great corporation, with the many miles of railway under its con trol, is so identified with all the material in. terests of Pennsylvania, and indeed with those of the whole country, that the statement of its transactions during the past year cannot fail to prove of the greatest interest to our read ers. It is not necessary for us to disouss the facts and figures of this report, as they will speak for themselves, and show how immense have been the business transactions and how thoroughly the offloers of the road have ao quitted themselves of the trust confided in them. The exhibit is a most satisfactory one in every respect, showing as it does how the efficiency of the road has been increased by consolidation and the enlargement of its con nections, which give it the control of the carrying trade of an immense area of country, and place it in the ' very first rank among the railroads of the United States The credit of the Pennsylvania Bailroad has never stood higher than it does at the present time, ana the annual report shows that the Directors have availed themselves of every means to establish the financial affairs of the company on the most satisfactory ana BUDBwtnuai basis. The transao lions oi Bucn a corporation as . this are of interest and importance to a vast num ber outside of those who duw their dividends; its business more or less affects every indi- oiauoi m me owe, sua u not improperly oonsiaerea as me great 'epresentative of Pennsylvania trade, manufacturing, and mining interests, inai to a very largo extent has under its control the prosperity and wel fare of the Commonwealth. It is satiufaotory to know that the road is fulfilling its destiny in this respect, and that it is extending in all directions its influence and that of the people of this State. We commend the perusal of this report, therefore, to our readers, with the assurance that they will find in it food for re- fleotion and ample reason for oonratulation w .v- f that P.wl.ei. a . , " , ' " a 1 Bailroad is in auoh able hands as at present. Wr had only time yesterday to refer to the fact that the Republican party bd reason to lie thankful to Hon. William B. Mnn for the result in the contentod eleotion canes. Read ing over the opinion of the majority of the court affords us a better opportunity of ascer taining the real servioe rendered by this gen tleman. The reasoning and deductions of Mr. Jnstioe Agnew are evidently dorived chiefly from and basod upon the very able, lawyer-like, and logical argument of Mr. Mann, and it will be remembered that the grouping together . of the testimony and arranging the facts with suoh systematic pre- . t 9 A . il li a a a oisioa as wouia sinno me attention oi tne court below was the work of this same gentle man. weaouDi very muon whether more is any lawyer in this country who, in oases of this character, possesses the genius for concentration and presentation of facts whioh is the characteristic of lion. William ' B. Mann. .' ' OBITUARY. J. Wrelej llnrfr. i Joseph Wesley Harper, one or tbe founders Of the celebrated Mew York publishing house of Harper & Brothers, died at bin residence In that city yester day. The deceased was the third son of a family of four, whose names and dales of birth are as fol lows: James, born In 1T95; Johh, In 1T9T; Joseph Wesley, In 1801 and Fletcher, In lsoa. The sons of a substantial Long Island farmer, upon whose home stead In Newtown they were all born, they received in their early youth such teachings and experiences as best fitted them for the great success which they achieved. ' James and John were at the proper aire apprenticed to a New York printer, and by over work and careful Industry succeeded In saving a few hundred dollars, upon which capital they soon established themselves In business, at Orst printing only suoh works as were ordered by others who assumed the responsibility of their failure or suc cess In the market. In these early days of their business career, both of them worked at tbe case end press, while tho two younger sons became In turn their apprentices. On attaining their majority, Joseph Wesley and Flotcher were admitted Into the firm, the style of which was changed from J. A J. Harper to that of Harper & Brothers, which has for years been one of the best known throughout the literary world. . . , . , The exercise of a sound Judgment In the selection of works for publication, not less than the Individual energy of tho Arm, laid the foundation of their suc cess. In the year 1825 they established themselves at Nob. 81 and 83 Clin street, where their business gradually expanded to large proportions until the entire destruction by lire of their building, In 153, when they sustained a loss of not less than one million of dollars. This disaster, however, was merely the signal for a renewal of their energy. On the evening that witnessed tho destruction of their establishment, a family council was held, at which It was determined to continue their buiiness, although Its success had been such as to leave them all with comfortable fortunes, and on that very evening a telegram was sunt to Boston order ing twenty new Adums presses to supply the places of those lost In the fire, while contracts were made with various llrms to do their printing until the new establishment should be ready for occupation. The new building which they erected on Franklin Square was made entirely Ore-proof, In anticipation of a re currence of snch a disaster as had befallen tbe old one, and it was planned on suoh an extensive scale as to permit of the prosecution of all the branches of their enormous business within Its walls. As it now stands, It Is the largest book publishing concern In the world, a monument of the enterprise and busi ness tact of the four men who have fairly wroncbed success from the bands of fate. . Widely known as has been tbe Arm of Hirper k Brothers as publishers of books In every brauoh of knowledge, their names have been still more exten sively circulated through the agency of their 'well- known periodical publications. In 1850 Harper' Slayazine was established, principally through the earnest advocacy of the youngest brother, although the enterprise was not undertaken without a lively sense of tho risk It Involved. But from tho very outset it became a great favorite with the public. In 1S6T Harper's Weekly was started, and encountered a similar suocess, being especially popular during the recent war for its admirable Illustrations of the- prominent scenes-' and events' of tbe great struggle. A little over two years ago, a third periodical was added to tho list, and Harper' Bazar, a Journal of fashion and society, has already firmly established Itself by the side of tho others, meeting a want which had been unsupplled In this country previous to Lts Inauguration. i Joseph WeBley Harper was at one time tbe proof reader of the firm, and at another tbe foreman of the composition room. He also for many years oon ducted the literary correspondence of the house, but was finally relieved of that by his eldest son, and. although making no pretensions to elegant scholar ship, was an excellent judge of the merit of books, and wrote In a clear and attractive style, many of the prefaces to the volumes of tbe "Family Library" having been his work. For forty years tbe deceased was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his death will be not less of a loss to the Church with which he was so long and bo promt nently identified, than to the world of letters, i ; James Harper, the eldest member of the original firm, died about a year ago, bo that but two of the four brothers now remain, and Doth of them are well advanced in years. A number of their ohlldren. however, have been taken Into the business, and the style of the firm will doubtless remain unchanged for years to come. j Lelebaire-Welr. Louis James Alfred Lefebure, the well-known and talented organist, who died In Paris recently, having been taken with the attack which resulted m his death while performing on his organ in the church of St. Sulpice, was born In Paris on November IS, 1R1T. He was tbe son of an organist of 8k Koch. While yet a boy his musical talents were noticed, and his progress in that science was something remarkable. It Is said to be a fact that he knew his notes and the keyboard before his letters. , At tbe age of eight he played his first mass. He acted as his father's substitute when fifteen, and about tie same time carried off the prizes for organ, counter point, and fugue at the Conservatory of Paris, where be had llalevy for his master. It was on the organ of HU Itoch that he first began to Indulge in his daring but elegant extempore playing, which in after life placed him at the head of the new school of so-called French organ playing. He was appointed organise of the Madeline In 1847, where a largo Instrument of Cavalllo-Colls was erected. Tbe resonroes of this Instrument, until then ignored, put It within his power to realise all his Inspirations. He here acquired the art of combining tne several stops to such a degree that few organists in tuts particular have slnoe been able to approach him. To this accomplishment, by constant practice. be added that of a complete mechanical mastery of the instrument, ue took charge of the great organ of St. Buipice, in mo montn of AprlL 1863. -and this position he held until the time of bis death. This orgaa required muon pnysioat exertion in the performer, whioh taxed the energies of Lefebure to the utmost. iiis neaitn, woicn waa surenaj muon snaken, was gradually undermined by the continual dally oxer else, and the time came when he was obliged to ask M. Louis Pessane, the organist of the cbolr or small organ of the ohnroh, to take his place In the gallery. This gentleman bad been designated by Lefebare dating his lifetime as his suoeessor, which desire will doubtless bo oarrled Into effect. It was with great dlfnoulty at this time that tho chief organist wh sue to asoend the steep stairs leading to tho organ lort. One day not long since, he had been re- ! ?U!T Prf marriage, and while labor! 1,7 nl nJ l" iUlr w pre- I "ouaa of a Swiss halberd was heard aa- I nouaolng tho oommeaoement of the oeremoBy. Be ImmedlfttWr ran up the forty remaining ' tep, and, bathed in perspiration, and with a Mrntcxift which brought Mood to his Hps, he pinned his hanrs upon the keyboard. This was the IhK time that ho extemporized npon his organ. It was his fsrewell ts the Instrument. As a oompewer M. Lclehuro-Wely wrote considerably for his peculiar instrument, and alno for the harmonium, piano, and the voice. Among his works were the "Cantlqnes," a remarkable "O KalutarU," a collection of offer tories, a fantasia for piano named 'Tltanla," a "Duo 8jmpathiqtie,M and voluntaries and short piano pieces Innumerable, many of which are well known both In Europe and America. Ho brought out his work Lft lltcontfHr at tho Opera Oomlque, bat It was not a suocess. A few days before his death he wrote his last oomposiUon, "Le Chant du Oygne," for piano and harmonium, whioh is said to be a melan choly reverie, a presentiment of hut approaohlng death. He has left some other eosthnmous works. The surviving family of the deceased artist eon- suts of a wife, a son, and two daughters.

Tut Parkpa-Rosa Opkba Taoum An un- propitlous spell of weather interfered with the success of tho performance at the Academy of Music last evening. . Tho audlonco was not as argo as on VriJay evening and Saturday after noon, and Mr. Campbell was laboring under snch a severe cold that, the management were forced to apologize for his. shortcomings. Fattst was given, with Miss Rose Horace in the part of "Marguorlte," a role which is altogether too exacting for her delicate voice. She did hor very best, however, and would have gained the goodwill of tho audience by her earnestness alone, even if sho had not succeeded in giving a very creditable and at times quite satisfactory performance. Iu the garden scene In the third act she rose almost to an equality with her task, and in this scene throughout, with the excep tion of the jewel aria, in which her acting as well aa singing was defective, created a very favorable Impression. Mrs. Soguln assumed her accustomed role of "Siebol," and in that part she is one of tho very beet that we have-seen ia this city for years past. As already intimated, Mr. Campbell, who appeared as 'Mephls tophcles," was suiloring from a .se vere cold, and was unable to ' do Jus tice to himself or his task. The serenade in the fourth act he omitted altogether, a liberty with which the audience were by no means disposed to find fault, ia consideration of his hearty efforts to please on all occasions. Mr. Castle took the part of "Faust," but in his case also the effects of a blight degree of hoarseness were perceptible, and he did not appear to as good advantage as usual. The role of "Valen tine" foil Into the hands of Mr. Laurauce, who is a much better singer than is usually cast for this part. He made it prominent throughout the performance, and executed the music with a great deal more skill and expression than we have been accustomed to. The chorus was good throughout, but as a whole tho perform ance was a disappointment. This evening, how ever, there is the prospect of an unusually attractive ontcrtainment. Der I'reischutz will bo given in English lor tbe first time In this city, with Madame Parepa-Rosa, Miss Horsee, Mrs. Soguln, and Messrs. Campholl and Castle In the cast. To-morrow evening Moaart's charming opera, The Marriage of Figaro, will be re peated, with the same cast that made it such a triumphant success on Friday evening last; and on lhursday evening, lor the benefit of Mr. Castle, Verdi's ever popular production, II Tro-. oalore. will be performed., i . At tub Cubsmut the drama of The Streets of New York was produced lost evening, with Mr. Frank Mayo as the protean hero "Badger," to a good gallery audience. This play has been fre quently represented here, and tho play-going public are tolerably familiar with Its merits. As a piece of dramatic workmanship it Is one of the worst of Boucicault's efforts, and all that Is good In it he stole from the French. It addresses it-.' self, however, to the tastes of a large and im portant class of amusement seekers, and with its great fire scene and its real hose carriage, it is tolerably sure of success, If presented in rea sonably good style. Mr. Frank Mayo Is an actor of much real ability, and his performance last evening was heartily applauded. The highest commendation we can bestow upon his persona-, tlon of "Badge," is that portions of it wore worthy of a better subject. The play was not well done lost evening, if we except the "Cap tain Falrweather" of Mr. Jack, the "Alida' Bloodgeod" of Miss Howard, and the "Puffy'.' of Mr. Bowers; and there was an evident want of rehearsal. An exception to this censure, how ever, must be made in favor of Miss Josephine Laurens, who Is always a painstaking and at tractive artist, and who was only prevented last evening from giving an entirely satisfactory personation of "Lucy Falrweather" by a severe cold that rendered it almost Impossible for her to speak. The fire scene was well arranged, and the incidental features, such as tho song and dance by General Grant, Jr., and the "Broadway Belle," by Mr. Rollln Howard, answered their purpose of creating amusement. ' ! The Streets of New York will be repeated this evening. , ' At thb Walnut Mr. Edwin Adams appeared last evening as "Enoch Arden," aud gave a fine performance. The poem upon which the play is founded is the most dramatic of Tennyson s works, and the one most suggestive of strong stage effects. Some portions of the poem, In deed, are so strong-that any dramatic version of it, unless made with extraordinary skill, must appear weak in comparison; and this is the case with the play produced lost evening, which represents in a very Inadequate manner its original. Of course, In a piece of this kind, very much depends upon the leading actor: and Mr. Adams certainly gives a personation of the hero which is distinguished by high artistic qualities. The various phases of emotion in cident to the extraordinary vicissitudes of 'Enoch Arden's" career were represented in a masterly manner; and this performance is In many respects superior to any that Mr. Adams has given during his present engagement. This evening iGnoch Arden will be repeated. At thb Arch the drama of Little n?ly will be repeated this evening. Ou Friday next Mr. A. E. Brady will have a complimentary benefit at this theatre, when he will personate "Major Wellington de Boots," hi the comedy of Xverybody's Friend. At Dupbbz & Bbnsdict's Opbra Houbb an attractive bill of minstrelsy will be presented this evening. . , At thb Elbvbnth Stbbbt Opkra HotrsB a variety of entertaining novelties are announced for this evening. 8iqiob Blitz and his son will execute some of their wonderful feats of mnglc at the Assem bly Building this evening.
