THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1870. POLITICAL HISTORY. The AVllson-Black-ttcUlure-Came-ron Imbroglio. Col. XVXcGluro Interviewed. Col. Forney Asked to Testify. toeaator Wilson Fortetful of Ilia Promise to CJIve the Whole Troth-fflcClare Explains the Resignation Correspondence It wai ad After-Thouaht to Break the Fall-Cameron's Wit nesses Reviewed. Senator Wilson has opened afresh the question of the order of Cameron's retirement from the Lincoln Cabinet by an article Just printed In the Atlantic Monthly, In reply to Judge Black, ne gives the testimony of Senators Cameron, Chandler, Wade, and Ramsey, and of Chief Justice Chase, to shield Cameron from the charge of dismissal from the War Department. As this part of the article makes a direct Issue between Senator Wilson and Colonel WcClure, our reporter called upon the latter this morning, and after the nsual greetings the follow ing conversation substantla'ly transpired: Keporter Have you seen Senator Wilson's article In the A tlantic for October 1 McClure Yes; I noticed it In Colonel Forney's paper a few days ago. Had Colonel Forney been at home It certainly would not have been published without an editorial correction, for he knows that Cameron was forced into the Lincoln Cabinet by a mean bargain that was a fraud upon Mr. Lincoln ; and he knows, also, that Cameron was forced out of the Cabinet by the unanimous demand of loyal Con gressmen, of loyal financial men, of loyal people Indeed, everybody but contractors and plunderers ; and Colonel Forney knows, also, exactly how Came ron retired, and how Lincoln, In his unbounded Kindness and charity, agreed to allow a correspond ence to be manufactured, after Cameron's removal, but antedated, to break his fall before an Indignant nation upon whose blood and sacrifices he was Speculating. Kcp. Would Colonel Forney have corrected the statement of Senator Wilson, if he had been home, clo you Buppose? McC I can't say that he would have done so : but as he knows the truth, and as common justice to his readers and to himself requires that It. should be told nnder the circumstances, I would not be so un charitable as to assume that Colonel Forney would not have vindicated his own manhood by vindicating the truth of history. Rep. is not Colonel Forney now Cameron's friend? McO. Not at all; nor Is Cameron his friend. Forney can never respect the man who debauched Lebo, Maneer,and Wagonseller from him in 1857, and defeated him for Senator; nor for debauching the Republican Legislature of 1SG7, and, as he supposes, defeating him again, although Forney really had nobody for him at that time but himself, and he was doubtful ; nor wi:l he ever forgive Cameron for de claring on the floor of the Senate that Forney was a defaulter, when Cameron knew that he was not one. So not apprehend that Forney will ever be Came ron's friend. He may profess to be so, and may dine Cameron and wine him, and Batter him In his news papers; but Forney deceives neither himself nor Cameron. Both perfectly understand that there Is no sincerity In It, and they will soon break up again, whenever one or the other can find mora protitable associations, and each will truthfully exclaim "poor devil" to the other, as of old. Rep. But do you expect Colonel Forney to state the facts relative to Cameron's removal from the Cabinet ? McC. Perhaps not now; but It is only a question Of time. It will come In flaming capitals and double-leaded articles by-and-by. It's of little con sequence when It comes; the country can watt for that testimony, for in the meantime others as well advlBedwlll speak, and the truth will not be en dangered. I have written Colonel Forney on the subject, and will probably hear from him shortly. Rep. Will you allow me to see the letter you ad dressed to him? McC Not now. It may be necessary to publish It some time, but not yet. Rep. How do you explain Senator Wilson's course ? McC Oh ! it's not much out of the natural course of things these days. Senator Wilson wants to do as nearly right as he dare ; but he has his share of Infirmities. Els passion is the Vice-Presidency, and he is simply bidding through Cameron for the Penn sylvania delegation. In Washington, Cameron has power, because Grant, in forgetfulness of himself, has surrendered the patronage of the State to him. Washington is the last place to learn the will of the people, and Wilson is deceived by Cameron's preten sions of popular power Into the belief that he is conrtlng the man who can give him the State. He will be wiser before long, but It's his own funeral, and he has a right to have It his own way. Rep. Did you expect such an article from Mr. Wilson? MoC On the contrary, I had Mr. Wilson's as surance, after the appearance of his first article some months ago, that If he felt called upon to refer to the Cameron matter again, he would state the fact that Lincoln's letter, delivered to Cameron by Ch&se, notifying him of the appointment of Stanton, was regarded by Chase as objectionable or offensive In tone, and that the letter subsequently published as from Lincoln to Cameron was not the original letter on that subject. Wilson assured me that Chase had admitted to him, after the publication of his first article, that the letter to Cameron was modified, and be did not pretend that there bad been any letter of resignation from Cameron at the time Chase delivered Lincoln's letter. I confess that I was gieatly surprised to find Mr. Wilson entirely for getful of his new information, which he admitted when I conferred with blru on the subject, and still more surprised to find him entirely forgetful of his voluntary pledge to me to state the whole truth, should he write again on the subject. Rep. Did you not see the letter from Lincoln delivered to Cameron by Chase ? McC I did. I saw it and read It carefully In Cameron's presence, and Cameron was most violent In his denunciation of Lincoln for removing him without notice. At tne same time it was suggested to Cameron that Lincoln could be induced to allow him to antedate a kind letter of resignation and write a kind acceptance of It, thus giving his re moval the appearance of a voluntary resiguation. Tbe proposed arrangement was agreed upon, was carried out, and tho correspondence was thus nianu I actured after Cameron's dismissal. Lincoln always dealt humanely with crushed culprits, and there was no reason why he should make Cameron an excep tion to the rule of his life. Rep. What have you to say about the testimony Wilton gives to support Cameron ? McC It don't need much explanation. The first letter is Cameron's. No rogue ever drew tbe halter on himself. That testimony needs neither explanation or refutation. Chandler doubtless wrote his letter In 'the hole in the wall." He evidently meant to make it satisfactory to Cameron, but from some cause he was oblivious, and he blundered upon a fearful troth. "Deore Cameron resigned," says Chandler, "he Invited me to breakfast at his house, tojneet Edwin M. Stanton, whom I had then never met, and told me that the gentleman I was to meet had been nominated for Secretary of War at his re quest." If Cameron had Stanton nominated beore he resigned, I am at a loss to know just when he did resign. What I charge la that Cameron resigned after he was removed, and Chandler unwittingly conQrnis It. Wade Is old and petuleut, and has been muddled by Urea defeats In one year; for Senator, fuses cynts of nine Jrs ago, .especially as to the particular time k particular transactions. I do not question that e breakfasted with Cameron, Chandler, and Stanton ; bnt Chandler more likely tells the story correctly, because It Is consistent with the truth. It Is doubtless true, also, that after Sun ton was appointed, Cameron professed to Stanton that he had named him. Stanton knew better, how ever, and never In his life seriously accredited Came ron wltii his appointment, ne may have done so 'half playfully," aa Bcnator Ramsey reluctantly tes tifies, but when he was not In the festive mood, he always told the truth. Chase means to be truthful, but he was made a catspaw In the whole matter, as will be conclusively shown to the public in a short time. Cameron's removal was determined upon by the President and tart of the Cabinet before either Cameron or Chase had any Intimation of it ; and Chase was called In afterwards by the President as a matter of policy, he being the espe cial friend of Cameron, and asked to pull the chest nuts out of the fire. He was sent to Cameron with the letter of removal, and may have talked about Stanton. But Chase did not then know, and does not now know, that before that time Cameron's removal was positively decided upon by the Presl dent and the anti-Chase wing of the Cabinet. Mr. Welles can fully explain this. Mr. Chase, there fore, writes the truth, to the best of his knowledge, when he says that he supposed himsoif well informed as to the circumstances, and that Ca.ucron's retire ment was voluntary. But his knowledge was Ira perfect. In fact he knew nothing about it, except what was known to everybody. Rep. Ho you propose to make any formal answer to Mr. Wilson? McC I do not know yet. It may become necessary, and If so, I will settle the whole history of Cameron going In and.out of the Cabinet, so that it will henceforth stand unquestioned. I am fully advised as to how he got in, who helped nim, and what Influences made them help him, and as fully advised as to how he was driven out of it, with the terrible seal of approbation of his removal fixed upon the records of a Republican Congress, and to tnis day unchallenged by a single Representative of the people. If Jt shall be necessary to publish a reply to Mr. Wilson to show that Cameron resigned the War Office only after he had been removed, I will do bo. Of that necessity I can judge in a little time. Rep. How Is it that this question was not raised until now? McC Cameron never dared to raise It until after the death of both Lincoln and Stanton. The first attempt to force it upon the people in any tangible form was In Wilson's first article, which was Just after the death of Stanton. Just how Cameron was removed was not publicly known at the time It was done; but that he was driven out of the Cabinet was known to all, and Congress, which was largely Republican, followed his removal with a pointed resolution of censure, which was adopted by almost a two-thirds vote. More would have been known about his removal but for the fact that it was necessary to conceal from the people tho extent to which Cameron had prostituted the power of tho AVar Department. The nation would have been In utter despair had the true condition of things been understood, and neither money nor men could have been obtained. Indeed, leading moneyed men of this city and New York went to Washington and demanded Cameron's removal as a condition precedent to the negotiation of additional loans. Every effort was therefore made by the administration to retire Cameron as quietly as possible, and the manufactured corres pondence was readily assented to by Mr. Lincoln. Rep. How Is it that Cameron wields so much power with Grant 7 McC It is in some respects inconsistent, and In others entirely consistent. Grant voluntarily and positively assured Colonel Forney and I, just before the Inauguration, that Cameron not only should not control bis appointments, but that he would make his appointments in Pennsylvania so that the people of the State would understand that be did not control them. In this view Grant is In consistent; but Grant is a Bourbon In poll- tics; he has never learned anything, and, of course, has forgotten nothing, and such men always drift lata the control of those who wait and watch to beslime and swallow their prey. Grant will, I doubt not, redeem himself some time, for he does not mean to he dishonest; but It may not be in time to prevent Democratic supre macy In the nation as his chief legacy to the country. Rep. What will Judge Black do ? McC I don't know ; be does his own fighting in his own way. His article was a very ambiguous or doubtful tribute to Stanton. It may have been in tended to elicit just what Wilson gives, for the testi mony seems to be overwhelming. Rep. Anything more ? McC No 1 Good morning. C1T IT E. Jottikos.

NirOLEOX AKD HIS GENERALS. The Emperor on Ills Defeat. A letter from Brussels in the Cologne Gazette says: The Emperor Napoleon, as I hear, spoke very unfavorably, during his residence In Belgium, on the conduct of his generals. To a diplomatist who vis ited him at Namur, he complained bitterly of the want of respect shown to blm oy them and of their Incompetency. To the French soldiery, as far as bravery is concerned, he rendered justice ; but they are too little disciplined and quite untltto resist the Prussians. "I yield full homage," he said, "to the discipline and bravery oi the Prussian troops. Their discipline is constantly equal and is only surpassed by their courage. Nothing can resist them, and they will enter Paris, which cannot de fend itself against them." The Emperor did not ex press the least regret for what he had done. On tbe way from Bouillon to Verviers, Indeed, he sighed a Xood deal ; but to all with whom he spake he snowed himself extremely composed. On the whole, he made the impression of a man who Is glad to have escaped a great danger. It is certatn that he was at the batt e before Sedan on the 1st It even seems that at the last moment he wished to collect a troop in order to dash on the Bavarians, who stood op posite hint: but It was impossible to carry cut this plan, as the German artillery was too vioieau in me army usetr ine empe ror latterly was generally despised. After the battle of Sedan the French would not hear him spoken of; the officers were particularly embittered against him, and did not even wish to hear what had become of him. Some astonishment was excited here at the French officers captured at Sedan being allowed their liberty on condition of not serving again in this war against Prussia. It is thought not impossible that after their return to France part or them in spite of their promise will be induced again to take up the sword. A few French officers expressed themselves, moreover, in this sense, and thought they would enly need to change their names in order to elude discovery. As an excuse for such procedure they nleaded the Kings conduct, who Bald he was only making war against the Kmperor and not against the French people, and ? et con tinues it although the Emperor is put aside. The Wiser Zeiiuno Btates that only a fourth of the cap tured officers have taken the engagement the re mainder preferring captivity. Ueueral Wttnpffen has chosen Stuttgart as his residence, and has already passed through Mayence. SOI ES OF THE WAB. LOYALTY OF TBK FKKNCH MA8ANTS TO THB EMFBROR. Ilerr Wacbenhusen, writing from Baan, near Sedan, on tbe 3d instant to the Cologne Uazttte, bhvs: "The fury of some peasants goes bo far that alter twenty of them bad yesterday been led bound through the streets our soiuiers were nrei ai tnia alteruoon lrom a bouse in Kemilly. Aud yet the pretty village of Bazellles, now burned to ashes, Is a. fearful warning. In spite of the hateful civilization for which the provinces are Indebted to the Second Umpire, officers assure me that en entering the peasants' houses they were met by cries of 'Long live the Emperor-!' and women ill their presence kissed the Emperor's likeness. The number of these adherents it is difficult to judge, where the prudent conceal their opinions and the tbougntless express them with musket shots. The Mobiles, who are everywhere organized, are treated by our soldiers aa regular troops, but the peaaauts, who Hie from the windows, are generally shot without ceremony, aa halters t re wanting. Many of them appear to be incited to such revenge through seeing themselves brought to beggary, and patriotism haa therefore nothing to do with it The omcers in Sedan care fully avoid Napoleon s name."
