We should think so ourselves, judging from the ma terial of which that body is compoeed. Thrice has Cameron debauched the Legis lature of this State, and thrice Iirk he been elected to tho Senate. But in the pres instance tho tools have all been made iady to Lis hand and ho will therefore bo compelled to resort to his well-known and S7stmatio scheme of corruption to accom plish his purpose. If a man of tho antece dents cf Oliver P.

Tho correspondent of the Qazttlt also avers that Simon would pfferascat in Grant's Cabinet to tho Fer.atovsbip. When it is remembered bow r rt ceremoniously President Lincoln kicked tl.is same man Cameron out of the office cf Secretary of War for notoriously corrupt practices, one would suppose that a posi--yn in the Cabinet would be the last place to hich his ambition would aspire. 1 f AP.7SAKFT for Governor, Allen for Au ditor General, and Cameron for Senator, M-iil c -institute a trio pleasing to the sight Loth of gods and men.

Then will the measure of Feunsylvania's greatness and glory have t-eer. riade full to overflowing. Am we predicted in our last issue, the in fkinous attempt of the radicals in Alabama, aided and assisted by Grant's United States Marshal, to prevent the Democratic members of the Legislature, composing as they do a small majority, from organizing and proceeding to business, ended in a mis erable failure. The members who were aueed by the Marshal w hile on their way t- th3 Capital aud taken to Mobile, gave bnil to answer the charge against them, vhavover that was, and then started for J .oiiT rrorury, the seat of government.

It was uufortunate that Grant came into office with the conspicuous gift of citizens to the successful General who in the line of precedent Avan the coming President. When he showed an inclination to call the givers to high places in the government, it gave the opposition a weapon against him. When he took a share in the gift I that citizens were contributing to General Sherman, and iu his eagerness involved himself in the scandal with Mayor Bowcn, he compromised his personal dignity and exhibited qualities unbecoming to his sta tion. It is not a great draft upon the public purse, nor a creation of dangerous family influence, when the President appoints a dozen or more of his relations to office ; but it is a bad example, and shows a low view of the Presidential office. But far worse than this waa the scandal of a President's brother-in-law at the cap ital, following the profession of agent for claims against the government, carrying his family influence into the subordinate executive departments where such claims are judged, and actually as he testified before a Congressional committee ap pealing cases from the departments to the President, and appearing before him to argue them. In effect this Avas the sale of the President's influence against the ends of justice by his brother-in-law. The summer absence of the President from the capital are matters of no great moment in the affairs of the Government, and his frequent junketing excursions could le excused but for his proclivity for a peculiar kind of entertainers, who bring him and the Presidential office into disie pute and expose him to be made the in strument of designs upon the Government. When the gold conspiracy, to make a private speculation at the cost of wide spread ruin of the innocent, burst upon the public on the memorable Black Friday, the public mind was shocked by the intel ligence that the President had been caught in the toils of the conspirators, and had been made to do their bidding by writing a letter to Secretary Boutwell advising him against increasing his sales of gold. The effect was not mitigated by tho fact that the conspirators had entangled the Presi dent's family in the plot. The public party excused him with the charitable plea that he was deceived by the sharpers Gould and Fisk ; but there was a general feeling that the President of the Uuited States should not have mado companions of men so notorious as public inbbers, nor received hospitalities and other favors from them. The American jeople do not fear that the President's surrounding himself with military attendants means a design to sub vert the Government ; but jealously of mil itary surroundings and manners belongs to free institutions and the spirit of free peo ples, and the disregard of this shows a lack of perception of popular sentiment, or con tempt for it.

The Capital City (Ne braska) -Yew says : A family by the name of Hunt, consist ing of tho father, mothei and three chil dren, have been liA-ing on a claim some two miles from Marion Center, in Marion county. Their Iioukm was situated in a ra vine, built of stone and roofed with dirt and scd, which Avas supported with tim bers. Night before last, as some persons were returning home from a dance, they noticed that the roof of the house had falleu in. They immediately went to the house and found that the roof had fallen in upon the family as they lay sleeping in their beds. Tho party went at once to relievo them, and upon taking the dirt away found the mother and three children dead, and the father so fastened and held in his place that he was even powerless to help himself. The roof was very heavy and came down in crushing force ujkui the inmates of the fr.tal house. For hours the father had lain pinned to his bed, and was compelled to hear the dying agonies of his wife and chiidien ; compelled to listen to their pite ous cries for help. Out on the prairie,- be yond human reach, immured in a living tomb, the hours slowly dragged along and still no help. Still the appeal to "Father, help us," until all of human agony had been endured, aud then a silence crept over the dread abode, which was but tho still ness of death itself. The eight hundred men snowed up on the Winona and St. Paul's Railroad, in Minnesota, have all been rescued. The snow storm commenced on Tuesday. Nov. 12, and snow continued to fall unt il Friday. The various camps were all cut oft" from communication with tho end of the line and with each other, and suffered severely for want of warmth more than want of food. Owing to the storm, the men were obliged to keep inside the camps. Many Swedes dug holes, and covered themselves with their blankets to preserve life. At the headquarters of Colonel De Graff, at the State line, there are three frame shan ties, one being used as a store. A party of fifty men were snowed up, and were con sumed with anxiety for fear other parties would attempt to start out and bo lost in the storm. Every camp has been heard from, and not a man is reported lost. On Tuesday, after tho first suoav fell, they were confined to the huts and sjent the time in various ways card-playing by those who felt comfortable enough to do so, others trying to keep warm, some de spondent, but they were generally late ar rivals. The majority took the affair quiet ly, confident that the storm would abate in time for their rescue before the food gave out.

We hare yet to see in the Southern news papers any expression of feeling called forth by the Boston fire other than the most sympathetic and kindly. Remembering tliat Boston Avas for a long time, to the Southern mind, the repre&eutative of the anti-slaA-eiy movement, and afterwards of loyalty to the Union ; and that her animus and iolicy Avero antagonistic to the South in a large measure, these warm and cordial expressions of sympathy from that quarter call for a recognition equally pronounced and heartfelt. The donation from Chicago has been felt to be peculiarly sympathetic and full of meaning. But the intelligence that iu Charleston, S. C, and other places in tho South, efforts are being made to send relief to our fire sufferers, and the re ceipt on Saturday of a check from the late Confederate Secretary of the Treasury e facts of deeper significance. They show that political barriers and animosities can not stand lcfore claims of brotherhood which a groat calamity, like the present, brings home to all hearts. Our brothers of the South have taught us a lesson of broth erly kindness which will not be easily for gotten. Boston has a warm heart, and knows hoAV to appreciate generosity.

Pitts- j burg, brushed her clothes against a grate. j they took fire, and she jumped upon the bed to extinguish the tlamea. but the bed clothing also took fire, and before tho old lady could be rescued she was burned ter ribly, and lingered in the most intense agony for nearly twenty-four hours.

They were married in church, and a fee of twenty-five cents was collected from persons entering to see the ceremony. The whole amount was given to the new ly married pair as a capital to commence housekeeping. This is a good plan. If one made a business of marrying and adopt ed it he could make a fortune in a week.

Mrs. Fair attempted, it seems, at the time of her second trial, to poison the Judge who was to preside and all the coun sel for the prosecution. This revelation is made by the man whom she besought to put )Kison into the Judge's decanter, or into the milk -can at his door. In corrobo ration of this startling story, a plan of Judge Dwinclle's house was found in the possession of the Avaiter, and the Judge's wife remembers that at the time of the trial she was cautioned by an unknown woman not to put tho milk-can out of doors, as usual. The Clarion Democrat says that in Beaver township, that county, lives a tier man Lutheran minister, who, though poor and obscui e.Jhas a wonderful inventive and constructive genius. Possessing the Ger man love for music, lie has devoted his leisure time for years to inventing some kind of a musical instrument so simple in its management that it will not require long practice and skilled fingers to produce the best music. Ho has now perfected a contrivance which can be attached to an organ or other musical instrument, and by touching the keys iu regular order, coni mencing at the left-hand side, anv tune for which it is set will be played. The at tachment is as yet limited to forty tunes, but more can be easily attached. U WANTED ArLi iPLl M J. B.

Everything aboutjthe room seemed as real and tangible as if he Avere at that moment in it. It could not be a dream, because he never for a moment lost his consciousness.
