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.

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. :

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 . , " , ' "

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

taining the real servioe rendered by this gen
tleman. The reasoning and deductions of
Mr. Jnstioe Agnew are evidently dorived

lawyer-like, and logical argument of Mr.

.' ' 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

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-

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.

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.
