THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, Fill DAY, JANUARY 20, 1871
LITERATURE.
HE VIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
From E. II. But'er & Co. we have re
ceived "Mitchell's Modern AM a'," with an
index containing over 17,000 names, com
piled I y II. D. Gregory, A. M. This index,
which is published both with and separate
from the atlas, appears, from such examina
tion as we have been able to give it, to be
very complete, and it will undoubtedly be a
very valuable assistant to the student of geo
graphy, aa well as to all others who may have
occasion to make geographical references. It
has been brought down to the latest dates,
and the inexpensive shape in which it is pub
lished entitles it to the favorable considera
tion of all who may desire to use such a work,
as it will be an easy matter to replace it by a
new and improved copy, when the rapid
changes that are taking place, especially in
our Western territory, render portions of it
somewhat out of date.
rart No. fi3 f "Zell's Popular Encyclo
pedia" brings the work down to the title
"Standard." A few more numbers will com
plete this valuable publication.
, -From the American Sunday School Union
we have received the January number of
The Sunday at Home, an English magazine,
which contains stories, essays, and poetry
Buitable for Sunday reading, from the pens
of some of the best writers of the day. The
illustrations are numerous and excellent.
From J. B. Lippincott & Co. wo have
received "Birth and Education," translated
from the Swedish of Marie Sophie Schwartz
by Selma Buurg and Marie A. Brown. Pub
lished by Lee & Shepard. This story, like
its predecessor, "Gold and Name," possesses
much dramatic interest. Unfortunately the
ladies who have undertaken to introduce the
writings of Madame Schwartz to the Ameri
can publio are not qualified for the work, and
the translations of the two novels which
have come under our notice are very badly
executed.
From Morris Frank, No. CIO Walnut
Btreet, we have received the January number
of The Tcchnoloyut, which contains a number
of valuable articles on industrial subjects.
In The Art llecicw for January, we find
several interesting papers on art subjects.
From W. S. Turner we have received
Appleton's Journal and Every Saturday.
The Central NewJ Company, No. CO.
Chesnut street, sends us the latest numbers of
rurtch and Fan.

From Hon. J. S. Black's slashing rejoin
der to Hon. Henry Wilson we take the fol
lowing reference to the why and wherefore
of the exit of Mr. Cameron from Lincoln's
Cabinet:
Your account of Mr. Cameron's retire
ment from the War Department and Stan
ton's appointment on his suggestion de
manded refutation, because it not only per
veited and misrepresented a fact of some
general importance, but was a serious injury
to Mr. Stanton's character as it then stood.
Between these two men it did not seem as
if there could be any relations which implied
.y confidence or friendship. If Stanton him
self was any authority for his own sentiments,
he had no respect either for the horse con
tracts or the "nigger arming" (as he called it)
of his predecessor, and Mr. Lincoln had just
as little. Stanton was appointed not to carry
out but to put an end to Cameron's policy
with all its corruptions. I admit that since
the evidence you have furnished of Mr, Stan- j
ton's duplicity in other matters, it becomes
possible to believe he may have been insin
cere about this also. Still your attempt to
deceive the publio was inexcusable.
Of my own knowledge I know nothing
about Cameron's appointment or removal;
but I will give you the main facts bristly and
without the aha enormia, as I have them on
undoubted authority, and as I firmly believe
them. A bargain was made at the Chicago
Convention of 18(!0 that in case of Linoolu's
nomination and election Cameron should re
ceive a Cabinet appointment. Mr. Lincoln
was no party to this eontraot; but after
much persuasion and pressure he consented
to ratify it by trying Cameron aa Secretary of
War. Before the end of nine months the
experiment ended, as you know, and as every
body else knows, in a complete and total
failure. Mr. Linooln, Beeing this, determined
to get rid of him, and expressed his resolution
in a letter addressed to Mr. Cameron and car
ried by Mr. Chase, then Secretary of the
Treasury. That letter is not now in existence,
but Mr. Chase desoribed it as curt that is to
say, plain, short, and direct. Mr. Cameron
understood and felt it as an abrupt dismissal.
He afterwards got it suppressed, and a oor
renpondence different in its whole tenor and
effect substituted in its place. Ever sinco
then he has been trying to create the opinion
that he retired from a department full of rich
jobs, not only without compulsion, but in
spite of the President's affectionate desire
that he should remain and manage them as he
had done before; and he makes it a part of
his story that he was permitted to designate his
successor. He contrived to produce same
belief of this on the mind of Mr. Cbtse; but
if Mr. Ctase bad known more of Ca ueroa's
character and previous history, he might have
been less credulous.
Of the fact that Stanton was appointei on
Cameron's suggestion we have not a spark of
direct evidence except Cameron's own state
ment, and all the cirouuistaneea make that
improLable. If the President made up Lis
mind to remove the incumbent he certainly
woxild not have proceeded to exeoute his reso
lution by writing him a curt letter of dis
missal without having settled upon some
body to succeed him; for at such a time as
that he could not mean to leave the War
Department acephalous while he would be
hunting a head for it. Bat conoede that no
thought was taken for the new officer be
fore the removal of the old one, can it be
that the President decided the whole ones
tion in favor of a man never mentioned' be
fore, on the mere suggestion of the officer he
was discarding, and without seeking advice
from those members of the Cabinet who still
retained bis favor? The suppressed letter
is, therefore, not only an important fact in
itself, but it has the gravest influence on the
credibility of Mr. Cameron's whole tale.
Other questions signify but little in compari
son to tbat. If the correspondence after
wards published was not that which actually
took place, we must presume everything
against the party for whom, or at whose in
stance, the spoliation was committed. The
short, plain, direct, curt note, with which
Mr. Lincoln opened the business would have
explained everything if it had been permitted
1 o see the light; and it could not have boen
destroyed except for the purpose of making a
false impression. This compels me to show
that your conduct in the affair has been such
as admits of no justification except that burn
ing loyalty and intense patriotism which con
verts all vice into virtue.
After your first article appeared, and before
my answer to it, a leading and very distin
guished member of the Itepublican party in
this State told you that you had misstated
the facts concerning Mr. Cameron's retire
ment, and especially the important and prin
cipal fact of the suppressed note from the
President; and he referred to the Chief Jus
tice, who, tipon being interrogated, gave you
the authentic information that such a note
had been written, delivered, and suppressed.
Thereupon you solemnly promised that if you
ever had occasion to refer to the subject
again, you would fa, me ichole truth. Besides,
Judge Chase, after my review of you, wrote
me a letter from Sandusky, Ohio, in which he
said that he bore the note in question, and
mentioned that ho had also written to you.
What he wrote you of course I do not
know, but he certainly did not give you one
version and me another. You had, there
fore, the written statement of the Chief
Justice, in addition to his verbal assurance.
With all these lights before you, aud with
all the obligations of common veracity,
strengthened by an express promise to tell
the truth, what do you do in your second
article? Why, you simply stick to your first
story. Nay, yon take great trouble to smug
gle the truth avay, and bury it out of sight;
lor, instead of producing Judge Chase's let
ter to yourself, in which the fact, no doubt,
is fairly stated, you give us an extract from
another letter written by him to Cameron,
from which you are "permitted to quote"
nothing whatever on the subject of that im
portant letter. I forbear to say much that
ought to be said about this part of your be-
r havior, because the distinguished gentleman
oeiore spoKen ot nas taken yon in hand, and
will doubtless jerk an acknowledgment of
the facts out of you, in spite of all your shuf
fling. ""CR!BNEH.'S MOtriHiY."

The readers of this magazine must have
already recognized as one of its most at
tractive features the story of "Wilfrid Cum
bermede," by George Macdonald. This
writer has already taken a front place in the
ranks of living novelists, and there are few
among his compeers who better deserve an
extended popularity. Macdonald is essen
tially a poet, and it is the glamour of poetry
pervading his writings that constitutes their
principal charm. The story of "Wilfrid Cum
bermede," so far as it has progressed, im
presses us as one of the best, if not the best,
that has yet proceeded from his pen, and we
hope that its serial publication in Scribner's
Monthly will have the effect of making a large
number of readers acquainted with the
merits of certainly the most original fiction
writer of the day. The other contributions
in the number of the magazine before us
present an entertaining variety of reading
matter.
From "Something about Balloons," by J.
R. Thompson, we take this description of the
first balloon voyage:
Bnt the time had now come for the first
aerial voyage, and this was magnificently per
formed by the intrepid lioziers, who had
zealously taken up the subject of aerostation
from the earliest announcement of Mont
golfier's success, and the Marquis d'Arlandes,
a nne gentleman of the Court, who wrote an
interesting account of the perilous and un
precedented trip. The balloon of the Marquis,
which was inflated with heated air, and not
with hydrogen gas, far exoeeded ur modern
balloons in magnificence of desoration and
elegance of equipment, and must have pre
sented a splendid appearance as it rose abov
the temples and columns of Paris in the
lovely October sunset. It made the entire
circuit of the, capital, passiig over the boule
vards and hovering always in sight of the vast
crowds of wonder-loving Parisians, now
fairly intoxicated by the brilliant spectacle
There were eyes that marked its course with
other feelings than gratified curiosity or un
reasoning delight. Among the faces turned
upward to the bky above Paris on that 2 1 it
of October, lTSM, was Benjamin Franklin's.
Henceforward for many months all France,
so soon to become convalsed in revolution,
went wild upon the subject of balloons. As
censions v. ere made in every part of tli3
kingdom, and hundreds of people cf both
sexes earnestly begged a seat in the ctr. It
was doubted tnly by the judioio u few that
the navigation of the air was ua fait accom.
pli, or that men might go where they pleased
with the speed of the wind. The D 10 de
Cbartres, afterwards Orleans and the notori
ous Egalite, was so unfortunate as to make a
journey of one hundred and thirty-five miles
in five hours without breaking his neck, thus
escaping the best chance that ever happened
to him of saving his name from imperishable
dishonor. Great care and expense were lav
ished upon the construction of balloons, and
no improvement has since been effected in
them.
It was to be expected that among a people
with so keen a sense of the ludicrous as the
French, the new discovery should be made the
object of pitiless burlesque and caricature.
All manner of absurd flying-machines were
represented in colored prints, aud all sorts of
ridiculous schemes were put forth in satirical
prospectuses. But the irony and caricature,
could not exceed in the comic element the
essays that were written and the plans that
were set forth in sober earnest. Moralists
gravely condemned the employment of bal
loons, because they were manifestly contrary
to the will of Divine Providence, which had
not given wings to man; because they threat
ened to break down the barriers of virtue and
morality, by permitting aeronauts to descend
at night into gardens and balconies, and be
cause they practically annulled the bounda
ries of empire, and thus seemed likely to
involve nations in continual war. This was
droll enough, but the novelties in aerial
architecture sanguinely proposed to the pub
lic were more mirth-provoking still. One
cannot look at an engraving of the
"Minerva" without a smile. The "Minerva"
was a machine for navigating the air, pro
jected by one Robertson, of Vienna, in IKOt,
and dedicated to Volta, probably ' that it
might come to be considered as a sort of
"Voltaic pile." A pile it certainly appears of
a balloon, a Fulton ferry boat, a. toy-shop, n
ten-pin alley, a travelling circus, and a lager
beer saloon, as complex in its construction
and as diverse in its aims as the new
grand patent double-action cylindrical mar-ling-spike,
with holystoning watering-pot at
tachment, and self-adjusting reversible
Kamptulicon deck Awning-Carpet. The
amiable Robertson proposed to convey sixty
persons in the "Minerva," which was to have
a capacity of carrying 150,000 pounds, and
thought it might be possible to make with it
tho tour of the world. In the serious de
scription he gave of it, which U funnier than
Mark Twain's explanation of his map of
Paris, he refers to a gymnasium, a theatre,
an observatory, a Btudy, and other apartments
not absolutely essential to aeronautic voyages,
besides kitchens, closets, and store-rooms,
any one of which adjunots it would be about
as easy to transport through the air as the
Chapel of Our Lady of Loretto.
The February number of Godey's Lady's
Book is finely illustrated, and is filled with
interesting literary matter in prose and verse.
The Transatlantic for February, which
we have received from Turner & Co., con
tains a pleasant variety of short stories and
sketches selected from the best English peri
odicals. 27ie Lady's Friend for January contains
a number of excellent illustrations and an
attractive list of stories, sketches, poetry,
and fashion articles.

The bonds are Issued at f20,oco per mile against
the portion only of the line fully completed and

The greater part of the road is already In opera
tion, and the present earnings are large. y in exces
of the operating expenses and interest on the bonds.
The balance of the work necessary to establish
through connections, thereby shortening the dis

miles to St. Louis, is rapidly progressing, In time for
the movement of the coming grain crop?, which, it
is estimated, will double the present Income of the
road.
The established character of this road, running as
It does through the heart of the most thickly-settled
and richest portion of the great stata of Iowa, to
gether with Its present advanced condition and large
earnings, warrant ns la unhesitatingly recommend
ing these bonds to investors as, in every respsct, an
undoubted security. A small quantity of the issue
only remains unsold, and when the enterprise Is
completed, which will be this fall, an Immediate ad

The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible
at the option of the holder into the stock of the Com
pany at par, and the payment of the principal is pro
vided for by a Blnklng fund. The convertibility
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause
them, at an early day, to command a market price
considerably above par. U. S. Five-twenties at pre
sent prices return only i per cent, currency inte
rest, while these bonds pay 9 per cent, and we
regard them to be as safe and fully equal as a security
to any Railroad Bond Issued; and until they are
placed npon the New York Stock Exchange, the
rules of which require the road to be completed, we
obligate ourselves to rebuy at an; time any of these
bonds sold by ns after this date at the same price as
realized bf us on their sale.
