Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Daytor the Evening Telegraph. "WHITE CATS AND WOMEN. From, the S. r. World, Once upon a time noboly knowrs, atvl happily nobody cares, hovv long ao;o there was a pretty wbita cut which l.y the Divine permission was Buffered to be changed into a rou oh prettier vhite princess. In her new shape this charming iTentur met, saw, and conquered one of the luoat excellent matches of her time. It might have been Raid of them, as it was in later and more commonplace days of a dashing young British nobleman and his bride, that "Cupid had never seen lioildeil (So cliurml'iR a hi an and a belle, As when Ilervey the handsome was wedded To the beautiful Nary L"pel." The sun and the stars wrought for them as for TennyBon'a lovers, rolled on with tho heavens to their blissful marriage day, and around again to happy night. For a soason all was Eden in their home. Hut it chanced that after a time the princess, waking, like Whittier's young lady in tho New Hampshire legend, from "the first dream of a bride," gazed forth from the swaying curtains of her nuptial couch, and, gazing, saw a sight familiar at once and strange to her trans fignred soul. In the silver honeymoonshine which bathed the apartment with its mystic beauty she beheld, sporting upon the diapered i'eniian tapestries of her floor, a harmless hvt most unnecessary mouse. Swifter than thought tho feline instinct in her feminine heart reawoke. fSho leaped from the side of her unconscious lord, and in a moment dis appeared behind the arras, with velvet paws and quivering whiskers hotly pursuing the quadrupedal prey of her quadrupodal first estate. The mouse she caught; but catching tho mouse she lout, and forever lost, the m in. A pathetio old story it is, but pregnant wilh many meanings; and now it comes back to us, interpreting after a most lamentable wise the darkness which, as all men and not a few won1 en also perceive, has of late bogun to smear the sweet face of the heavens, only yesterday so bright with promise for the future of woman and of woman's rights. It is Boston, we regret to say, which sends us now this apocalyptic cat. It is Boston which reveals to ua ho x obstinately cowers the ancient Hebrew Evo in the majestic form of the modern Teutonic Velleda. Do we speak in parables ? It is only becauso the thing of which we speak saddens us over much. We shrink from the truth, which yet we cannot help but see, and which, seeing it, it is our painful duty to proclaim. If anywhere on earth the woman of the future has been seen by the man of the pre sent, it is in. Boston. There, if anywhere, we had learned to look for her, clothed in gold Bpectacles, mystic, wonderful. Scorning de lights and living literary days, upon her feet the goloshes of progress, and upon her lips lecture of reform, the woman of Boston stood proudly forth the hope of her own sex and the fear of ours. And to this awful shape cow comes, stealthy and sudden, so mean a thing as a mere milliner, and with bare bod kin her quietus makes. Ichabod: Ichabod! Miss Anthony, mourning for her sisters, may veil refuse to be comforted! It was in a Boston court of justice that this evil thing came suddenly to pass. Upon a question of garments a woman of the past, Bhryne of Athens the ancient, routed, elec trified, and confounded a bench of magis trates, the friends, countrymen, and lovers of Solon and of Pericles. Upon;aquestion also of garments, though in quite another wise, a woman of the future, Mary Flynt of Athens tho modern, has unveiled the weakness of her sex and her sex's cause before a bench of magistrates, the friends, countrymen, and lovers of Emerson and of Wendell Phillips. Tell we the tale briefly, as a tale of woe should ever be told. And this the more willingly that our too faithlul reporters have already told it at length. A Boston woman, Mrs. Ceolidge by name, dressing not wisely but too well, incurred sundry bills of charges to a sister woman of Boston, the Miss Flynt aforesaid. In the true philosophy of Bostonian life, the milliner and she whom the milliner clothes should be but one and the same. 'If the red slayer thick he slays, Or If the slalu thinks he is alula, They know Bot well my subtle ways Who pass and turn and pass again." And so for a time, indeed, it seems to have been with Mrs. Coolidge the arrayed and with Miss Flynt the arrayer. Poplins and moire-antiques, green silk and silk of the delicate hue of the tea-rose, seersucker J and blue cambric, things outward and conven tional, impeded not the fluent exosmose and endosmoso of this female soul, dual yet a unit. 'I have worked for you," writes the mantua-maker to the mantua-made, "feeling yon to be a thorough, true-hearted woman." Fancy such a noble confidence as this be tween uian-milliner Worth and the Princesses Metternich and Countesses Pourtales, the inmde and demi-monde of ignoble and unin tellectual Paris! Not a trace here of the white cat, with her muacipular talons sheathed in deceitful velvet, and her meawling larynx demoniacally inveigling the distant and dubious Thomas, screnader of the midnight and the moon. But the tempter came. The husband of Mrs. Coolidge thanks, we suppose, to the war or the tariiT, or some other cungemal Bostonian industry began to accumulate shekels. Wealth brought with it the care of wealth. From signing checks trustfully at sight of the little memoranda which from time to time recorded Miss Flynt's labors in behalf or lier "true-nearted friend, Mr. Coolidge came to inspecting these mem oranda with a low regard to ciphers, and from that to flat demands for discount upon their gross amount. To the masculine mind it may appear inai in mis air. uoonage was, pemaps, not totally blameworthy, t or these memo rar.da, as spread before us in Jthe courts of law, have in them something appealing to man considered as a conjugal and check-drawing animal. For one robo of "our pie silk," with "trimmings," "pads, and pro tectors," and we know not what other myste rious adinncta, alius l lynt asked of her "truo hearted friend a trifle of three hundred dol lars. For another robe of "llernaui" an operatic garment, as we humbly conjecture. st ranee to be worn in a city which honors Beethoven, and Bhould therefore abhor Verdi four hundred dollars, bums those which micht well cive a husband, albeit "enriched,' some brief and sudden pause. The more that in all her memoranda this silk-embroidering and sumptuous descendant ef Cotton Mather exhibited a respect for "trimmings'' only to be paralleled, proportionally speaking, by Falstafl's preference for sack oer wheaten loaves in his dealings wiin uamo tuiuuiy It was eyer one poor pennyworth of poplin or of silk to an intolerable deal of "trini- mi-ifcs." To black, silk suit flB OO To work on trimmings 1670 And ngoin: To nmktiiR poplin suit Iis-Oi To work on trimmliiRS 110-67 But if Miss Flynt sinnod as a trimmer, she was punished whereby hhe sinned. Her pleasant ribbons were made whips to soourgo her. These "trimmings,'' it would seems, were the outward expression of a change which wealth had brought, not upon the hus band only, but upon the wife also. From confiding absolutely in her "truo-hoarted" friend, Mrs. Coolidge, it seems, came to con sulting utrnnge women, fashionable persons, "dwellers in the Kevere House" people of whom Miss Flynt, let us hope more in sor row than in anger, informs her "they think themselves your superiors, and only tolerat you from policy.'' The cut emerged, the princess vanished. The lust of tho eyes had clothed Mrs. CooliJtjo in trim mings of Paris. The pride of life made her trim tho bills of the trieud of her soul as those of a mere mantua-maker. The memo randa which the husband questioned tho wife repudiated. Miss Flynt's lilljwas not paid. Miss Flynt's faith was shaken to the founda tion. "It Keems to me," she pathetically ox claims, "more like a dream than a reality.'' It was more thau she could bear. It came upon Ler "overtaxed brain" weary with exert ing her "talent for design" in the service of ladies bo truly n'Kthetic that they wero "willing to pay liberally" in order to koop tho gifted artist of their wardrobes above worrying or fretting about anything. It took from her not. a more customer only, but an illusion, a vision, an ideal. Nothing remained for her but to put the case into the hands of a lawyer. And with this the milliner of the future sinks into the ight of common day, as the belle of the future had sunk before her. The unpaid bill of Miss Flynt disenchants the princess of tho pins and needles, as the "social ambition" of Mrs. Coolidge had disenchanted tho princess of the poplins and the moire antiques. Ihe wise Judge Pitman, before whom tho case was tried, charged tho jury truly that it had "many and grave aspects." The jury found these aspects so many and so grave that they could not agree on a verdict about them. But neither tho Boston indje nor the Boston jury seem to have recognized tho nioht truly gravo and painful aspect of tho case. Here are "trimmings" aud "flernani suits" and the social seductions of the "Ke vere House" drawing away a Boston matron from communion with the "frieud of her soul, "and from the perusal of Mary Wolstone ciaft's "Bights of Woman." Here is an un paid bill debasing the uplifted ga.o of a Boston milliner to tho benches of a court of aw from that serene azure in which she had so otten behold not, like the vulgar, "a Dutchman's pair of breeches," but the gar ments and tho singing-robes of Transcen dental Woman in the groat To-Be. If these things be so at the Hub whereon our princess standing should have changed the world, what remaineth for the circumference but an inevitable wauling of untrausmogritiod cats for ever and for ever t MODERN MIUACLES. From, the A. 1'. Tinies. In the present stage of the development of psychological science or perhaps we should rather say its presnt stage of non-development only the very rash or tho very iguo rant will presume to set definite limits to the power of mind over matter. The force of will acting on imagination has been illnstrated by well-attested cases in a manner so startling that the prudent may well withhold thoir judgment respecting the extent of futuro possibilities. In the meanwhile, it is not surprising that shrewd adventurers should take advantage of the prevalent haziuoss of opinion on such subjects, and make their market by appealing to that love of tho mar vellous which, always larking in the human breast, is just now stimulated to an almost universal activity by the phenomena of spirit ualism, and the probably cognate mysteries of psychology. the .ouave Jacob, Mr. Home, the medium, the Davenport Brothers, and other famous operators, may or may not belong to the class of adveuturors we speak of ; tliey may or may not be more or loss self deceived; but it is certain that their success is due in a great measure to au appetite for thanmaturgy, such as was familiar enough in earlier ages, but which, accompanying tho present material and scientific progress of our race, is truly remarkable. Jnst now one Dr. Newton, who recently left the United States to travel in Europo, is creating an excitement in England which half a century ago would have baen quite out of tho question. Dr. Newton's profes sion is to heal the nick and comfort the afflicted through "spiritual aid." He lately began his operations in Liverpool by calling together a public meeting. A large audience haing assembled, the doctor opened the ball by informing his hearers that he "loved them as he would a brother." Ilo then wont on to say that, like "Othello," he had had many hairbreadth 'swipes iu the imminent deadly breach, among which ho might casually mention "strangulation, tddpwreuk, and a serious fall." Having thus established a hold on general sympathy by the uarrution of his misforturies, Dr. Newton proceeded with characteristic boldness to describe his pow ers. "I can heal a multitude," ho declared, "as easily as a few. I cln do just as well on five thousand as on a smaller numbir." And for that mutter we sea no reason why the Doctor should be over-modest in his claims. Why should ho not restore to a healthful condition the idling population of an entire city? Nay, why not bai-ish disease with one supreme effort from the whole globe ? This would bring about a millennium that Mr. Mil ler never thought of, a Utopia that would cut down to a bagatelle disease and tho business of the doctors at a single stroke. However, to do him jupfioe, Dr. Ncwtju i nothing loth to try his skill on a congregation or so, hero and there. After his last d iring state ment, indeed, he vent on to illustrate it. "I will cause," he aflirmed, "a shock to pass from me which will be felt more or less by all present, and if any one is in pain after it, let him eoino to mo and I will cure him." On this ho ".-stood up, extended his arms, threw back his head, closed his eyes, mido a sudden htart as if he were about to cast himself head-foremost into a river, rawed bis head again, and shook it in a liiituner which gave the impression that Le Lud really taken the plunge, Lad risen to the surface, and ciLen bis dripping hair oft' his face; and thm, opening his eyes, took a general survty f f tlm person before him." 'J Lis was the 'Vho-.-k" which, according to an Enfjihh paper from which we tube tho de scription, would have been a gre.it success only that nobody seems to Lave been shocked at nil. Dr. New ton consequently proceeded to euro people in detail. Ho experimented liibt on a ciipple, to whom he put the ques tion: "Do you l.)e iii'? ? Do you love ma m a brother Y' lie cripple naid he did, whereat the Doctor kissed him aud said: "Dis ease depart from thee," the result being, on the authority of the Pall Mull Ga zette, thnt the cripple was so much better that he wont through several twistings at his bonef actor's request. The next patient was more troublesome. Ho was a sturdy-looking man with a north country accent, who rose and said: "I tak' exception to what you ; Bay. Ye say all pain has left the people iu this room. Noo, I have suffered for a lang time and am nao better." His trouble was rheumatism, and tho nncured one refused with persistent obstinacy to con fess that the Doctor hud, or, in his belief, could give him relief. Tho usual reason was, however, speedily forthcoming the reason that is so very simple and so very unanswer able. "This case," tho Doctor said, "is one of a very peculiar sort; this person has a very strong will: he is very positive in his will principle." "My dear friend," he inquired, "did you believe I could cure you before yon came up here?" "Certainly not," replied the patient, and ho was thereupon dismissed, "nne bettor," and incurred, says the journal wo have named, great disgrace among the audience. After tho departure of this malcontent, thirty or forty more amenable sick were treated, every one of whom professed to be better for the "shock." Dr. Newton then blessed Liverpool with great unction, and announced his intention of going straightway to London to heal and restore the unfortu nates of that metropolis. In Londoa this singular practitioner seems to have goue to still greater lengths. We are assured that there "the sick, the halt, aud the blind are thronging, not to the hospitals, but to a man who coolly asserts that he is endowed with power to euro disease." One journal gives an account that quito goes beyond anything we have heard of Dr. New ton's proceedings in this country. When a patient is placed in his hands, according to this reporter, ho tells him that "it is by love that this is done, especially female love. You must love the doctor. You must believe in him." After calling upon God and the an gels, ho passes his hands over the face and limbs of his patient, jerks his own limbs about, as if through a shock of electricity, and then declares him cured. Nay, even "pocket-handkerchiefs, n waistcoat, gloves, etc., presumably of sick persons, were handed to him. These ho would squeeze, and call ing upon 'God and the Holy Angels,' 'The Divine Power,' or the Holy Ghost," he would order the disease to leave the persons to whom tho article belonged, and would then deelaro them cured or fast recovering." Finally, wo are informed that, as the people left tho hall where he was performing, he offered to give a Divine blessing to all who would pass in procession by him; and that some eighty or ninety persons actually accepted his bene diuon We are not surprised to learn that the re epectable press of London stigmatizes all this as blasphemous as well as ridiculous. The wonder is that the populace continue to flock In thousands to gape at and be edified by it. Tho experience of the audacious Dr. Newton is, however, but a fresh proof to be added to the myriads already existing, that the plea sure is as great in being deceived as in de ceiving. Doubtless, a potent element of his success is the fact that people out of health, who, like the drowning, will clutch at a straw, form so interested a part of his followers. For, on the converse application of the mens sona in corpora $ano, the sick are always among tho most gullible or mankind. THE DEFAULTING SOUTHERN KAIL ROADS. From the K. T. Sun. During tho rebellion all the Southern rail roads were in the hands of the Confederate Government, and were employed exclusively in its service. Indeed, it is not too much to say, that without their aid the rebellion would have been impossible, bo long as hostilities lasted their managers were unable to procure new iron or new locomotives, and peace found the roads altogether worn out and un provided for the business about to be thrust upon them. The iron of their tracks was used up, and their rolling stock was conaum ed or worthless. Some of these roads, however, had fallen into the hands of the national authorities some time before the termination of the war, and had been put in good running order for the use of the army. The line from Nashville to Chattanooga, that from Memphis to Grand Junction, that from Harpers Ferry to win Chester, and that from City Point to Peters burg, and probably one or two others, were furnished with new iron, new engines, and a sufficient supply of platform cars. In these repairs and improvements the Government had employed a large sum of money. It had also accumulated a considerable number of now locomotives, and a l&rcre amount of iron. The locomotives were all of the gauge in use in the Southern States five feet wide and could not be employed upon any of the Northern railroads. Accordingly, it was neces sary to dispose of them in the South. The Southern companios, however, being without means, were unable to pay cash either for engines or for iron; and it was thought best both by President Johnson and by Secretary Stanton to sell them the locomotives and the iron belonging to the Government on credit The amount for which they were thus trusted was something more than four millions of dollars; and we are sorry to say that rp to the present day their conduct has not been such as to justify the confidence re posed m them. Precisely which of the Southern railroad companies are delinquent we are not in formed, but we learn generally that the roads in Tennessee ana thoso in the Southwest re fuse to pay. The reason by which these companies attempt to justify their refusal is. that during the war the Government made use of their tracks for the transportation of troops end supplies, and this service they at tempt to set oil' against their purchases from the Government at the end of the war. Their claims have been rightfully disallowed by the War Department; but the companies propose lo test tho question by bringing suits against the military officers under whose authority their roads were used. This design appears to us to exceed in iin pudence anything else that has been heard of in modern times; and although it is not to be expected that judgment can be obtained against any officer who used one of these railroads, it would be quite proper for Con gress to pass a law to prohibit the bringing of any such suits. The railroads were all captured property; they were just as much subject to the will of the power which had captured them as w ere cannon and muskets taken in battle. The companies which owned them mie'Lt, without injustice, have been entirely deprived of their property; and they ought to regard themselves as treated with extraordinary magnanimity by the Govern luent when it freely restored to them tho railroads with which they had done their best to destroy the Union. The sale to them on credit f four millions worth of iron and locomotives was also an act of extraordinary generosity; and to propose to meet it, not by outright repudiation, but by setting up sham claims, only proves that tho companios have not been capable of meriting the kind treat ment they have received. That kindness, we presume, will not any longer bo tried with them. Their obligations should at onco bo put in the way of collection; and tbey should be made to feel the rigor of tho law which they have evaded and outraged. THE DOMINICAN ANNEXATION TREATY GENERAL GRANT'S POLICY. From the X. V. Ilrrahl Tho views and the West Indian policy of General Grant, embodied iu his rocent spe cial message to tho Senate on tho Dominican annexation treaty, are very Interesting and of the highest importance. He first treats of tho Monroe doctrine in reference to the West Indian Islands, and characterizes the annexa tion of the island or the proposed division of the island of St. Domingo as the praotical inauguration of that broad American doc trine. He thinks, too, that the noe opportu nity for this new departure in reference to the West Indies should not bo lost, because it gives a peaceful and practical solution to the great question and makes it a fixed policy. On the other hand, ho contends that ihe re jection of this Dominican treaty will be equivalent to the abandonment of tho Monroe doctrine and an invitation to the Western powers of Europe to intrigue for the control and the possession of the feeblo, independent States in the Mexican Gulf and on the main land to the southward. Applying this argument directly to the Re public of Dominica (which covers three fourths of tho splendid island of Hayti or St. Domingo, the black Bepublio of Hayti occu pying the remainder), Goneral Grant says tho Dominican Government is weak and unable to support itself any longer, that some more powerful nation will have to give it a helping hand, and that if we refuse the liberal offers of the Dominicans to join their fortunes with ours, as a Territory of the Union, we shall have no right to complain if they look lor protection and security elsewhere. This is a strong point, from which the President proceeds to portray the great value of tho island to the United States in a commercial, military, and naval view of our situation and development. In St. Domingo, he rightly contends, we shall have tho key of the Gulf ol Mexico and the Uaribbeau Sea, and by guarding these waters, instead of waiting for a foreign enemy to come pounding at our very doors, he is kept at a distance. The pohition, too, gives us positively tho control of the manifest destiny of the whole West Indian group to which it belongs, tho most important consideration of all. The Presi dent, therefore, renews to tho Senate his recommendation for the ratification of the treaty. Why not ? Because, they say, there is a job in it; but it Cappcars to us a good job for the United StateB. The equivalent in money involved is a bagatere i, )), 000 and care. fully guarded to this limitation the bargain to us will bo worth more than a hundred mil lions. The Reciprocity treaty with the Sand wich Islands, which the Senate has just re jected, though a good thing, is a secondary atlair compared with this Dominican treaty, which proposes to give us (for Hayti is ready to follow Dominica) a large and ono of t'ae very richest tropical islands in the world for almost nothing. The time for the ratification has been extended to the 1st of July next. but it does not as yet appear that a two-thirds vote of tho Senate can be counted upon. The main difficulty, it has been represented to us. lies with Senator Sumter, who is said to have this objection, among othors, to the acquisi tion of the island viz.: that its population. mainly of mulattoes and blacks, is of that kind of which we have enough already. This may be a grim joke against tho Senator; but the objection involved is, at least, as good as the best we have heard against the treaty, which means that it amounts to nothing. Still, as it is to be apprehended that the Senate, if left to itself, will delay action upon this treaty till the end of the session, we prefer the proposition of General Butler to substitute a joint resolution for the treaty lornu. A treaty requiring a two-thirds vote for the annexation of Texas was first tried in the Senate, and it was rejected, the range of vision of some of the benators of that day, as of this, being somewhat contracted; but the joint resolution plan, which requires only a majority vote, was next tried and carried through; and from that act of annexation we have now not only the great cattle, earn, and cotUn State of Texas, the golden State of California and the Bilver State of Nevada. but the Territories of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, and the Pacific Railroad and universal liberty and equal rights. llesults perhaps as great, wonderful and glorious may follow the annexation of St. Domingo. Who knows? It is enoagh that with this annexation accomplished it flanks Cuba, points the way to all the rest of the West India islands and to the awaiting States of Mexico and (Jentral America. It is, in deed, enough that this annexation will give us at once the larger division of the fine island of St. Domingo, and that the other di vision will shortly follow. Henoe, to make it sure, we approve the joint resolution plan of General Butler, and hope he will push it through. General Grant s policy, aa devel oped on this question, is the true Amerionn policy, and the only satisfactory application of the Monroe doctrine. A SNUB FROM THE SOUTH. From the X. T. Tribune, While the Northern community in general looks with great satisfaction upon the harmo nious consummation of the union of the "Old" and "New School" Presbyterian bodies in the city of Brotherly Love, there comes from the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church in session at Louisville a report indicative of anything but charity and fraternal affection on the part of Southern Presbyterians fer those at the North. The consolidated body at Philadelphia, in what we believe was a spirit of pure Kindness. made propositions to the Southern Assembly for a joint committee of conference with a view to the reunion of the Church, North and South. The response to this over ture of friendship is fur from encouraging, The Southern Church, in the first place, announces that "the obstructions to cordial intercourse between the two bodies involve great public interests an I funda mental principles, and with strange incou sistency, after alluding to the fact of the non intercourse, claims that it has manifested no spirit of aggression or hostility towards the Northern Church. At the same time, with an assumption of condescension and in order to exhibit before the world the "spirit of conciliation and kindness to the last degree," the Assembly consents to appoint a oom mittee of conference to meet that of the Northern Assembly, with instructions that the dnncnlties which lie in the way of cor dial correspondence between tho two bodies must be distinctly met and removed before it can consent to union. These iliiiioulties are then enumerated with much verbiago nJ assumption of piety, which being stripped I off lay bare the following objective points: 'Ihe Northern Church in botn brancues condemned slavery and indnlgod in political utterances, and therein was "fatally" com plicated. This cieplor.ible fall from grace must be repented of and apologized for before the Southern Church can admit them to fel lowship. Furthermore, the method of union between tho Old and New School bodies North is very unsatisfactory to tho Southern Church, and involves a total surrender of all tho great testimonies of the Church." whatever these may bo. The only apparent moans of overcoming this radioal objection is the sepa ration of the recently united bodies by a pro cess of spiritual divorce. A third difficulty is that certain members of the Southorn Churoh were violently and unconstitutionally expelled from the fellowship of one branch of the Northern Church upon serious charges. The INorthcrn Ghurch must retract its action, of conrne. Lastly, it is woll known that tho Northern Church has preferred similar inju rious accusations against tne whole Southern Presbyterian Church which means, we pro sume, that the position of the Southern Church upon the slavery question has been nst-ailed. All utterances condemning that Church must be "squarely withdrawn," or they will prove an impassable barrier to offi cial intercourse. In short, tho response of the 1 rcBbyterian Church South to the Presbyte rian Church North is this: "Acknowledge that w e have always been in the right and that you have always been in the wrong as to the matters of difference between us, and we will forgive the past and roceive von into official intercourse." We fear that there is no pros pect in the present generation for a union between the Churches North and South. The Southorn Presbyterians have given their Northern brethren a very distinct snub. CAMERON TO LEAD. From the PitMurg Commercial, June 1. The Republican members of Congress have constituted an executive committoe to take charge of the Congressional and other elec tions in the Males. Simon Cameron is the member of the committee from Pennsylvania. As we have no State officer to elect next fall, we will not probably have any active State Central Committee to manage our campaign. and the whole business will fall into Cameron's hands. Be it so. If Pennsylvania Republi canism is merely Cameronism, there can be nothing more proper than that the Senator should have charge of the party and its inte rests. He claims to control the executive patronage; let us if he cannot control tho State. Let i have a fair field, and enjoy the undivi ied honors of any victory he may achieve. Let him "set up" all the Senatorial nominations he can control, with special r6gard to the next Senatorial election, nearly three years off, w hen his own soat will become vacant. Let him bring his own case directly before tho people, and lot them re cord thoir verdict. Wo will do what we can to aid the party in coming to a correct con elusion. We will tell all we know of the great chieftain, beginning with the Winne bago transactions, and following his tor- tous career down to the present day. General Cameron has never beon directly beiore tne people of Pennsylvania, and we think too highly of a certain kind of shrewd ness which he has, and which his friends call political tagacity, to believe that he will ever face the people of this State directly on any question. Of course he will assume on this occa sion to be the champion of the administration. He will, no doubt, endeavor to persnade the President that he can carry Pennsylvania. We tell General Grant that there are one hun dred thousand llejiubticann in Pennsylvania wJioicM not vote at all, if by voting they mutt endorse a mem whose nume trill go down to posterity laden with the execrations of all who esteem political Jwnesty a public virtue. We bay to the President and members of Con gress that General Cameron does not now and never did represent the people of Penn sylvania in the United States Senate, other than in a narrow official sense. Thrice hoe he corrvpted a Pennsylvania Legislature to elect himself to the Senate. As the case now stands, the President and Congress have a right to consider him a regularly elected Senator from this State. H the agents of the people have betrayed them at Harrisburg, it is surely not the fault of General Grant or the National Congress. Come on, Cameron, and make your campaign ! You will deserve all the glory of your victory. Those who look upon you a political leper, while they will eonsider tlumtelves absolved f rom any obliga tion to eupport you or your pack of corruption is ts, will at least give you a fair field.
