I notice in the Sunday Times of
March 2d, your Washington corres
pondent, H. J. R., relates an Intorview
with Hon. Simon Cameron, in which
the father attempts to justify Don's
treachery to bis paity friends in vot
ing for Butler, ot South Carolina. He
says:

Governor Bigler, having retired from
public life, honored and respected lor
the faithful performance of many pub.
lie trusts, and especially ostoomed as a
man ot habitual propriety, fairness, and
even generosity, I waa groally surpris
ed at tbis roady slung of Cameron.
nxious to see for mysell what meas
ure of provocation Governor Bigler bad
to depart from bis usual propriety ot
speocb, I have examined the record,
and diligent search of the Congressional
Globe has shown me that this apology
of Camoron to his party for tho trcach
cry of Don is mainly fiction and false
hood. 1 regret to use such languago,
but no other torros will do justice to
tho caso. The (Hole showa no debate
in tho Sonato between Butler, Biglor
and Cameron, except that which grew
out ot Cameron's right to his seat on
is credentials prosonted in 1857. All
presumptions wore fairly against Cam
eron, becauso the Democrats had a ma
jority in the Legislature and were en
titled to the Senator. Colonel John
W. Forney was their nominee; but
Cameron in some mystorous way se
duced and carried oft" three of tho mem
bers from the counties of York and
Schuylkill (f.ebo, Wagonselliir and
Mancor), and be was by tboir votes
elected. The Democrats, believing
that this result bad been accomplished
by corrupt influenco, sent a coramuni
cation to the United States Senate set
ting forth theao circumstances and ob
jecting to Cameron's right to the seat
This paper was prosonted to the Sen
ate by Bigler without debate, and re
ferred to the judiciary committee, of
which Judge Butler was Chairman.
Butler beld that the committee bad
no jurisdiction over the Bubjcct mattor
of the communication trom the mem
bers of the State Legislature and re
ported in favor of Cameron's right to
the seat. On the report aroso all tho
dobnte that could give tho slightest
ioundation tor Camoron's ungracious
statement about Biglor. Tbo debate
was mainly confined to Messrs. Butler,
Benjamin and Pugh. What Bigler
said was marked with moderation and
propriety. Ho concurred with Butler
in the committee's conclusions and
their want of jurisdiction, but be bad,
whilst the subject was under debate,
received a telegram from members of
the Legislature informing him that
they and others bad sent him a com
munication bearing on the Cameron
olocticn and he made an earnest effort
to bave the subject postponed till the
next day, that the Sonato might see
what this communication contained.
Butler resisted this motion and urged
the adoption of the committee's report,
without casting one word of reproach
upon Biglor, and uttered no unkind
word toward him. He did say, how
ever, of the mombors of the State Leg
islature that "if they bad been dab
bling in dirty water they should wash
thcmselvog betoro thoy camo boro."
But he said no such things as to Big
ler, and Camoron could not fail to
know that the romark had no rotor
enco to Bigler. I would prefer to give
you the words of the debate through
out, but it would occupy too much
space. But Investigation will satisfy
any ono oi the accuracy ot my state
ment, and how unjust and malicious
are the words of Cameron toward Big
lor, who was bis colloaguo and his su
perior in every particular.
If the Republican party accept this
explanation of Cameron as a satisfac
tory apology, 1 am content ; but there
is a widespread impression that Simon
Cameron's gratitude to John J. Pat
terson for services in a more recent
Senatorial contest had more to do with
Don's vote than any action ot Judge
Butler In 1857, for since that vote we
already see immunity guaranteed by
South Carolina to John J. Patterson.
Toi Curtin-Yoodm Contrst. The
taking of testimony in the Curtin,Yo

Saturday ; next ten days rebuttal is al

close. Then the testimony will be
printod, and the wholo subject go te
the House of Representatives for its
decision. We shall not be surprised to
see Gov. Curtin occupying bis seat in
Congress before the middle of April.
Tbo forty days allowed Curtin under
the act of Congross for taking teetimo
ny expired February 17th. In Centre
about 1,000 pages of testimony were
taken ; in Clearfield 800 ; Clinton 600 ;
Union 200; Mifflin 100; Elk 300, and
it is alleged that it cost Curtin during
those forty days an average ol 1150
per day. Of course, Yocum's expenses
will not be as groat ; but still tbey must
foot up a very large sum. Lticistown

Taug as tbi Gospel.-A cotcmporary
states that Bishop Simpson made a re
markable temporance address in Phila
delphia, in which he elucidated a mor.
al fact in a manner well deserving the
attention ol all philanthropists. He
holds that the rescue and reform of
men addicted to intonperance, fallen
demoralized and debased, must be by
moral suasion, the power of kindness
and sympathy. The Bishop ia clearly
right and sustains as in the views that
we have always expressed tbat drunk
enness can never be coroj by legisla
tive enactments.

met, In Docember, the Democrats con
templated an investigation of the Rad
ical attachments for holding oloctions

shals, Supervisors, and the uso of the
army generally for such purposes.
This fact coming to the ears of Blaine,
he moved for the appointment of a

he refused to become its Chairman.
Aftor considerable hunting for a Chair

Chairmanship, and the Committee
started South to covor up things; but
the 4th of March came around before
they got through, and a Democratic
Senato came too, and "knocked in the
head" what was known as "the Tellor
Committee." A new one has been ap
pointed, beaded by Senator Wallace,

Sound Men. The Now York Wortd
says the Senate of the United
States bas done itselt credit in tho
choice of its officers. The Secretary
ship of that body is the natural centre
of organization of tho party in power,
and bas been such a centre during the
Republican control of Congross and Mr.
Gorham's incumbency ot the place.
Mr. John C. Burcb, who has been cho
son to it by the Democrats, is the fit
test man, not only among the candi
dates, who appeared for it, but among
the possible candidates, for a position
so responsible and important in a par
ty as woll as in a publio sense. As
the editor of the Nashville American
Burch has been the leader of the clear
headed and palriotio citizens of Ten
ncssee, who bave persistently, and often
in the face of popular clamor, Btriven
to maintain the publio credit and pre
serve the honor of tho State. As th
citations we have often made from Its
columns must have shown our read
era, there is no truor representative of I
the National Democracy in the press
than Mr. Burch's journal. There can
be no doubt that he will discharge the
specific duties of the offlco to which he
bos been chosen honorably and well,
nor that he will discharge with- zeal
tempered by discretion and by candor
the Implied duties of Secretary of th
dominant party at the Capitol which
his office also devolves upon bim. The
other officers of the Senate, though not
so widely known as Mr. Burch, are

of the farmers of the State, the largest
crops of all cereals barvosted in Ponn
sylvania will be grown the coming
son. very great arrangements are
being; made to plant immense acres of I

competition with the planters of tbe
West, and this will be one of their groat
test years. Tho tobacco plant will also

tbe soil and the skill to take a leading
part in tbe agricultural pursuits of the
country, and this year he soome to be
determined to put her resources to
tbeir fullest tests. It is an emnlation

A Good Card. Just as soon as

trolled both branches of Congress, the
First National Bank of Hanover, Pa.
announced that it will beroalter pay
only 3 per cent interest on yearly de

tho proof of the gonoral demoralization

"Arrogance" Indeed. The Radical
leaden in the United Statoe Senate
sinco they are placed in the minority
can scarcely bohavo tbeuisolvos.beuause
the Democrats in tho Senate declined
the other day to permit Mr. Edmunds
and the Republican minority to take
charge of the business ot tho body and
dircctittosuitthomsolvos. Tbo Boston
Advertiser Blartloa its solemn roaders
with a headline of this character: "An
Exhibition of Old-Time Democratic
Arrogance." The theory prevails In
New England, and in several otbor
sections of the Ropublio aa well, that
the Democrats have no rights that pa
triots and sutlers are bound to respect.
They are understood to bo in Washing
ton by sufferance and, therefore, any
little inclination toward self assertion
is looked upon as impertinence and ar
rogance. When a Ropublican office

make room for a Democrat, tbe cord

Not True. The Now York Tribune
remarks with its customary fairness
and candor that the Solid Southern
Congressmen are said to bs vory bitter
about the deteat ot tbeir candidato "for
speaker." By this the JVioun seeks
to convoy the Impression that Mr. Ran.
dall was elected Speaker in spite of the
opposition of the Representatives from
the South. There are 106 Southern
Democrats in Congress and 41 North
ern Democrats, so that the Southern
members had it absolutely in tbeir
power to elect to the speakership whom
ever tboy chose. As a fact how does
that jingle? The one hundred and six
members could have elected the Speak

bave done It, if the Soutborn Demo

been a question whethor this move
ment should bo made or the Senate
should take the initiative itself and ex

Whon the lying Stanton was about

most conspicuous movement at the

Early in tbo day G us Howard, the negro

numbered 3,000. Shortly alter seven

of tbe time, and fought and struggled
desperately. Arriving at the market
square he was haulod to a lamp-post

Washington, March 27. In tho Oli

ler recalled Mrs. Oliver and askod her
if she bad within tho last eighteen
months written to the postmaster at
Millersburgh, Kentucky? Slio an
swered in the affirmative. Letters
were shown to witness and identified
as having been written by ber. In
one of tbeso letters sho asks tho pout
master to endeavor to find out where
her daughter Alice is and sho asks his
advice about having Uliver chargod
with tbe murder oi tbo girl, bho sug
gests that that is the only way sho
will make Uliver come to tbe point.
She adds that sho is sure Oliver has
oommltted some ciimo and is afraid
that Alice will come to light and tell
about it In another letter to the post
master she says tbat she had been told
by a Mr. Andrew Silver, ot Connect!
cut, that Mr. Oliver bad murdered her
daughter Alice. The same letter says
that Oliver bad promised Silver mon
ey to go to Covington, Kentucky, and
swear tbat he bad never been married
to plaintiff, but that Silver did not got
the money promised and was on that
aocount mad with Oliver.
Mr. Cook, of counsel for tho defense,
thon read to tho jury the letters which
plaintiff wrote to Senator Camoron and
which had boen introduced as evidence.
At the conclusion of tho reading a re
cess waa taken.
J. E. Padgett testified that be was
practicing law wilh Mr. A. u. Riddle
in 1877 and witnessed some receipts
drawn by Mr. Kiddle and aigned by
lira. Uliver tor tbe payment ot ll.UOU
he visited Mrs. Oliver once with Mr.
Riddle but Mrs. O. did not rub on Mr.
R'a head.
Mr. O. D. Barrott, a lawyer, tosti
bed that Mrs. Uliver camo to him
company with Mrs. llonriqnes during
the winter of 1876-7 ; she told him tho
same old story about Senator Cameron
promising to marry ber and wanted
witness innuenoe to make him no It;
she wanted to know why Mr. Camor
on would not marry her, and witness
told hor it waa not likoly Mr. Camer
on would marry one of her kind ; she
told the atory oi Mr. Riddlo wanting
her to love bim aa sbe did Mr. Camer
on, and she thought that insulting to
ask ber to do such a thing wbon she
was engaged to Mr. Cameron ; at that
visit she did not look like she was
pregnant; she said that Mr. Cameron
furnished her medicine but nothing
about his forcing it down her throat.
Several other witnessos wore also
examined but their testimony was
cumulative and comparatively un
interesting. The defendant expects to
put in all his testimony to-morrow.
The plaintiff bas a number of witnesses
to call in rebuttal, but where to begin
or leave off seems to be the bothering
point to all present.

SWINDLED
RY CONFIDENCE
MEN.
Tho St. Louis Globe of March 12th
gives tho following particulars, show
ing how a couple of Mercer men wore
"taken in," while on their way to
Lcadville :
Allred and William K. Graham, two
broihers.whoarrived herefrom Mercer,
Pa , on luosday last, were mado the
victims of the old confidence dodge.
Tbe Grahams are on their way to
Leadville, and while on the train they
made the acquaintance ot a gentleman
ly-appearingyoungBtranger,who,upon
ascertaining their destination, told
them tbat bis tatber had a valuable
silver mine in Leadville, and tbat he
was on bis way there, having just
come irom tbe r.asi, where be bad
gone to pnrcbaso some mining
machinery. Tbe urabams were
once interested, and when the stranger
told them tbat bo bad then, at that
very moment, a lot of rollers and
crushers in the freight depot, to be
used in bis lather s quarts mills, tboir
confidence in bim became unbounded
When the train arrived at the Union
Depot another man entered the car
and demanded payment of tbe freight
bill tor the machinery, Insisting that it
sbouic bo paid at once, luo nrst
strangor was in great distress at not
having enough money to pay the bill.
wben William uruham suggested to
his brothor Alfred that be should lend
the monoy to the stranger. Alfred
handed over 145, all the money he
possessed, and almost immediately the
two strangora disappeared. It was
not not until some time alter tbe men
had gone away that the Grahams
realitod that they had been swindled.
They complained to the police, and the
case was plated in the banda of Detect
ive Lawler. Yesterday morning De
tectives Huthsing and Page arrested
three well-known crooks and confidonce
men F. E. Wilson, alias Milburn.
Richard Preston, alios Windy Dick
and Henry C. Arnold, alios Stanton
who proved to be tbe guilty parties.
VVilson, alias Milburn, was the man
who ingratiated himself in the favor of
tbe Uraham brothers, and Preston was
the ono who enacted tbe part ot freight
agent A warrant was token out yes
terday, and the Grahams will remain
bore long enough to sue the men pros
ecuted a.nd punished.

pun tlio machinery of the federal
ection laws to carry the oioseiy con
tested Stutos of tho North. Hence the
obstinacy with which they resist the

theso laws in the past, tho Radical par
ty bas not scrupled to convert tho De
partmunt ot Justice into an election
bureau, and through tbo agoncy ol
corrupt redornl judges and partisan
deputy marshals and supervisors, to
expend vast sums of the publio motiw-y
in controlling the elections and depriv

The question tor tbe representatives oi

ABOUT LEADVILLE.
Wo make tbe following extruets
om a private lettor written Irom
Denvor, by a former citizen of this
place, to a friond who had mado in
quiries in regard to Leadville and the
prospect lor now comers:
"Ijeadvillels one hundred and lorty
iles from Denver, and is aovcral
thousand foot higher. It is two days
travel from boro. Tho snow is at
present from four to six feet on a lovol
there, and is very much colder than it
is boro; tboy have tee thero every
month in tho rear.
" I here are hundreds wbo come Irom
the cost, and go straight up there, and
take pneumonia and dio in a tew days.
Thore aro hundreds of poor peoplo
there who don t have enough to out
and can't get away from there. Men
who go there and bave no trauo and
no money, are the ones who suffer.
Carpenters get four and five dollars a
day, and othor mechanics accordingly.
Last week lamp oil sold there for one
dollar and filly cents a gallon. Hay is
one bundled dollars a ton ; houses witb
two small rooms rent for fitly dollars
a month. Thcro aro so many people
thero that it takes four or five hours
after you get to the postoflico before
you can get your turn at tho window
to ask for your mail. Thcro never
was such a rush ol peoplo to any one
place as there is there this spring. A
man wbo could oe there witb a good
sot of drills would make money, for
tbey get three dollars a foot for drill-
ng, and the rock is not hard. 1 don t
know how groceries soil there, but all
other kind of provisions are very bigb.
"i would advise people to slay away
from there, unless thoy have several
hundred dollars to start on. People
are going in to Leadville at the rate of
two multireel a aay. The mining ex
citement is very high ono. man, a
poor shoemaker a yeor ago, ia worth
one hundred thousand to-day."
A FLOODOF FIRE.
Saturday a week, between twelve
and one o'clock, wben the Empire
freight east was passing tbe point on
tho ruiladelphia and f.no null Kood
where the ice (forge occurred recently,
obout five miles above Farrandsville,
the sudden break of an axle caused tho
wrecking of an oil lank car. Immedi
ately on the brooking of tbe tank the
oil took fire, and in a few minutes a
terrible conflagration was raging. Tbe
black smoke rolled up in densa vol
umos darkening the atmosphere, and
at limoe the flames ascended to the
bcightof nearly one hundred feet
Eleven oil tank cars ware dostrnved
al the point where the accident first
occurred, which, wilh the two con.
sumcd at North Point, makca thirteen
altogether. Tho intonse hoot coused
by the burning oil worped the roils
bodly, destroyed the ties completely,
and rendered necessary to relay about
three hundred foot of track before the
waiting trains could pass. This was
dodo bo speedily that tho passenger
train east was not delayed over on
bour, reaching w llhomsport soon oiler
midnight Fortunately no one was
injured, though thero was great don
ger from the exploding oil tanks, and
tho greatest caution bad to be observed
in handling thorn.
As those oil tank cars carry from S.
COO to 4,500 gallons of oil, it ia safe to
sny that oacb cor averaged 4,000 gal
Ions. And as it was involved into
smoke at tbe point where congealed
water was piled up in huge blocks on
every hand, it may be truly said that
the ooniiagralion was a "big thing on
