TU E S.(iE OF LOCIIIEf..
The days of Simon Cumeron, like
those of llclshu.jsiir.are numbered. His
exile und banishment from thoSuiiutcj
will cost li! in thousands of lilcliilri and
backers, just ut the period when the
sands titMil'o are ebbing out, when
mortals should rather acquire, tliuii
nanirh friends. The Philadelphia
Times In ullnding to his retirement
says: "That Senator Cameron should
part from bis old associates in the Sen
ute with much emotion, as he bade
1'ui-cucll forever lo the tribunal he hud
were Senator. iien lie first assumed
Senatorial duties in 1815, has been a
member of tho body (r many years,
and not half a score ol them are among
the living. On 1'iiday he parted wiib
his old colleagues with many inutuulli
kind expressions, and on Saturday be
left for his home in llarrislun-g to wit
uoa the triumph ol his ton us In
shall be chosen o succeed the litlhci
lo-iuori'ow. The veuorublo Seliutoi
has hud bis full share of battle, and
bis life has been a perpetual struggle
for tho power that he devoutly wor
shipped. No mull in mil' polllleal his
tory bus been tho subject of so limn)
and such Htraugu munitions in the
great aims to which bis resources wen
so ceuselessly directed, and perhaps
tho only unmixed pleasure that bis
vuricd achievements huveutVurdud him,
is that which comes with gratelm
homage to a father's pride at the suc
cess of the son, whoso promuliou r
dearer to linn thuu the laded chaplots
of place. Tho generous respect thai
nearly fourscore years must command
from friend and foe, will temper his
retirement with coinparalivo peace,
while tho lances which have been
shivered against the lather will glitter
in fearful purpose against tho future
pretentious of the son."
liiooTHV Victorious. Tlio Consti
tution id the United Suites prohibits
a religious test lor oflico. Notwith
standing, no man is eligible to a Slate,
county or town office in tho Slate of
New Hampshire, unless be is ' un ad
herent id' tho Protestant faith." Last
year the Democrats and u few Liberal
Hadicals passed a Constitutional amend,
inent through the Legislature, wiping
out this "lest" for oflice, and punned an
act submitting tho nmendinent to a
vote of the people at ihe general elec
tion last week. Tho amendment was
lost, und tho Democrats, in their r.eul
lo carry it, lost one of the two Con
gressmen. Iligotry has gained another
victory in tho giuuile Suite. It is no
wonder that the population of thai
State is decreasing, and the liailical
majorities increasing. Inlolereiice and
bigotry always occupy thesnuo plul
torm. Chattel slavery was an awful
crime in the eyes of these Godly New
llunipsbireiles, but menial slavery they
eslecin u virtue. Resides the) stand
up and laku all oath to support the
Constitution of tho United Stutes.
which prohibits the "test" they swear
to support in their Slate Constitution.
The Pharisees uro Hot ull deud yet.
A Cot'siN Rt'Lt DoZKi). A Wash
ington dispatch of Saturday, says: "A
sinking example of tho President's
opinion of a fuvorito phuso of Grunt-
isiu occurred to day. A gentleman ol
his acquaintance applied for appoint,
mi ill as United Suites Murshul of llli-
uois, and submitted bis papers. The
President examined all ol them w ith
great care, then lying them up und
returning them to the applicunt, he
suid: "Well, sir, your papers are ull
right, und 1 know you to bo an excel
lent man for tho position you seek, bin
there is an insiiperuble obstacle to your
ever obtaining an olllco under this ad
ministration, and thai is your wlfu is a
liivorite cousin of Mrs. lluyes." This
step of Hayes' looks like "going be

nepotism. It may be a lilllo rough on
tho relulii m but il will bo good tor
tho country. If cousins uro sirirk.cn.

Klected By THE CoSIMISBION. The
Huston Hcntinel say s : "Hayes does not
claim to bo the choice of llio people ;

TUN A A' II' ELECTION FA UCE.
The carpel hag cut-throats down
South, headed by tho notorious John
Patterson, Into of Mifllintown, In this
Slate, but now a Senator from South
Carolina, are trying to persuade count
ed in Hayes to order a now election
for Governor in South Carolina and
Lniiisiiiuu. Tho editor of the Phila
delphia Time), in alluding to this ques
tion, says:
"It's just about what any average
thief would propose under like ciivuiii

Northern heart can be lired afresh, and
hi the flame and smoke of rekindled

uitiy bnlo li-inii thu hissing scorn Unit
greets him from every honest lace. As
cJliumlioihiiu hasn't a single county
iuying tribute to his treusury, nor a
single Republican court in ihe Slate
that recognizes his authority, nor any
lollowing uny where, of uuy luilh or
race, that cull give either moral, politi
cal or muleriul support to bis adininis
irution, a new election, without even
ihe color of luw or tho shudow of jus
lice lo excuse il, would bu just the
thing for trembling political iierepitet
ics ol llio Pullersoii school. President
Hayes is believed to stand just where
he started, and will allow the question
of pow er in the two disputed Slates lo
solve itself, and ull well understand
what tho end must be."
More Tiiouni.r. It is announced
that tho result of tho Returning Hoard
has decided not to till the vacancy on
the Supremo bench, caused by the
resignation of Judge Davis, who has
has been elected United Stales Senator
from Illinois, to succeed the blustering
"crooked" whisky Attorney, Gen. John
A. Logan. Although the names press
ed upon Hayes for tho position, are
those of Circuit Judge Dillon and
Diumiiioiid,und Caldwell, ol Arkansas;
Scott, of West Virginia ; Senator Howe,
id' Wisconsin, and ex Secretary Iiris
tow. He delays Ihe up, ointment alter
u consultation wilh the Chief Justice
und the Alinriicy-Gciiorul, and will
not select ex Secretary Hrislow, owing
to assurances lliat he couhl not liuciin-
firmed by tho Senate, And thu reason
why tho Seliuto would refuse to con-
firm Hrisiow, is becaoso bo was the
only true man on Grunt's cabinet, and
prosecuted the whisky thiol cs, for
which he had to leave the cabinet.

the queerest cases ho over bad any
thing lo do wilh. Yesterday the tacts,
though in a mixed form, were brought
lo light. Tho correct details, which
msku an exceedingly interesting story,
ura as follows:
THE PRELIMINARIES.
On Tucwlay afternoon, Mosscnirer
llingham, who was in charge of the
Union Express car on the Dav Ex
press on Iho A. V. R. R., received a
hsiwich dated Pittsbiirir and shuied
George Bingham, Superintendent ol
the line, notifying him that ho would
no mot at lemnloton by Mr. J. II.
Urook, who would laku charge of Ihe
cur from Unit point. When tlio train
slopal ut Templeton a well dressed
young inuti appeared and stuled to
Messenger Hingham that his iiume was
brooks, and that he was instructed to
lake charge of tbo car. The Messen
ger asked Brook if bo had a letter.
Ilo replied that ho had not, hut pro
duced a lelcirram sinned by Superin
tendent Uina-hum, orderinir j. It.
Urook to tako chariro of the car. and

struction. The MoBucniror not bus
injcting thero was aiiylhiiuf wroim.
immediately complied with the order,
and turned over to Brooks In key.
i ne laiier goniioman then got aboard
the train and immediately look charge
ol the car. Messenger Bingham get
ling off to await the first train to go
hack to Parker.
ON THE CAE.
Alter getting aboard thecal, Brooks
lisplayod wun ncrroasne, but also
great tang frrti. Ilo found it impos
il.lo to unit k the safe and had to call
the baggage master to "help him open
the d d thing." Tbo baggage mas

Al 8.50 I', u. tho train rrachcd'lho
' ily and thu supposed messenger got
out of tho cur, Iho officers duly re
ceipted lor his packages, Ihosuleuiid
gisids Were piueed III Iho express van
on. Ihu IiO)iib messenger got ill by Ihe
side of Ihe safe, and the wagon slarled
liir Ihe ollieo on Fdlh uveiiiii'. Al Ihe
depot, however, lie opened the sale und
lisik out thu hooksuuil packages. The
driver of iho wauon asked him if be
wu going lo lake out thu money.
Brooks replied, "No; oh, no;" and
tlllllbled Ihu IliBiksbaek. Still he kept
his hands in his Ms kul ulierwuii. as
u. tl.e
heard tho supposed messenger tisiliug
wilh tho link of the sale, and asked
' ini if he was going lo luke mil the
money there. The uiun mudo some
mumbling uiisw,.ruud apparently lock
ed Ihu sate. Al the i oilier ol 'Seventh

wulk. Thu driver told dim "he'd hee
ler not for he'd Caleb ul ll.c nlhYc
if ho lelt the safe." Tho man never
the less got oiil. and thu driver drove
on down 10 iho nillco slowly in order
not to gel llicro before llio messenger,
us ho it i I n't Mun't him to gel into
l i on bio.
THE ROUIIKIir lllSC'nvr.ll Ml.
Tho sale was taken out of the wag
on and into the olticu, opened ul hull
pust i.iuo o'clock, uud found lo be
empty. Stil! tho olllco employes did
not reiilir.e ul first thut it had been
robbed, supposing fi.r a 1 nil 0 Ihul some
thing wrong hud (sen ned, and a new
man, who did not know the rules, wus
in churge, und would turn up present
ly. But be has probably got lost, be
nusli'l turned up yet. -
I lie amount n money taken bus
not been uccuriitely ascerluiued yet,
but it is not less I bun 64.000, mid may
bu more, as the company has been do
ing a heavy business in Iho nil regions.
Sirungely enough, the thiol left ill tbe
safe a package of f 1.000 00. It wus in
mutilated curivne. , uud ho probably
thought it tisi bulky.
TUE WAY IT WAS DONE.
A more daring, yet adroit and care
fully planned robbery w as never com
milled iu this region. Il now seems
that but one man was engaged in tbe
transaction, uud that he ia a telegraph
operator. His accurutu knowledge ol
iho road, and measurable acquaintance
with the business, and tlio mahiier in
which (lie telegrams wero sent, show
thut he bus been employed iu some
capu'ity lo leu I what he knew, hut
was not au old express inesscncr.
Somo time during Tuesday nflenioou,

It is almost certain troui all circiiiu

and tupped tho wires five ind s
this side Templeton. uud sent Ihe dis
patches. This ul least, is the theory
accepted by llio i-ompauy and pnl.re
olticiuls. Thu adroitness of the rob
ber's plans is further seen in the tune
selected lor his operations. Il-i did
not telegraph to Parker until alter tbe
train left; he caught llio train ut Ifcd
bunk, ami then got alaiurd ul Temple
ton, the next slalion, and gave the
messenger instructions to return lo
Parkur, some filly-oiglit miles hack,
knowing that ho couhl not ul hack

Tuusduy evening, two hours before llio

Hingliuni wus not iu Ihe office, and the
nnp'Ttalico of tho dispatch was not
appreciated, as no one knew what it
meant. At 12 o'clock il was thought
advisable lo see Superintendent Hing
ham, and therelore Iho dispatch was
taken out to him. and thu disappear

mediately came down to the office,

since thu robbery, thu thiol' ot course
