We are in receipt of the following
special just as we go to press :
Haerisbvbg, Jan'y 20, 1SS5.
Somerset Herald:
Cameron elected. 135 rotes in the
House, and 2S in the Senate. C,
kickers in all.
The death of Schuyler Colfax
leaves but two remaining Vice Pres
identsHannibal Hamlin.of Maine,
and William A. Wheeler, of New
York.
The men who ehed their blood
or loet their limns in fighting the
the rebels, will learn with some sur
prise that Jeff Davis was not a
traitor.
The California
Senate and thei'3"1 - -
Illinois House are
both in a dead-
lock. Kich is made up of an equal
number of Republicans and Dem
ocrats, and there is no telling when
they will be able to elect Senators.
The Grey was on deck again
last week in the United States Sen-
ate, on Tuesday of . last weeek,
when that body was compelled
to listen to speeches eulogistic f
that much maligned "natriot" Jeff
Davis. j

they had helped to save?
Now that it has been demonstrat

Cameion. in a square stand-up
fight of their own seeking, that the -the honored name of General bea

be' suffered to reign in the I
party.
Tue Solid South, which elected ,
Cleveland, celebrated its return tol
power with a defense of Davis on
the floor of the Senate. The South
ern Brigadiers emphatically denied
that Jeff Davis was a traitor, and
having been traitors themselves,
we suppose they know. But
if they do, how dreadfully mis
informed the Northern mind is on
this subject.
The Independents who, In ad
vance of the caucus, boasted so
loudly of their strength, and of the
great surprise in store for the sup
porters of Senator Cameron, must
feel like the little boy who was told
that he could not go on an excursion,
as he "was too" little." He pomp
ously replied "I am a big boy.-'
Upon the return home he begged to
be carried, but his friends told him
that he had boasted that he was "a
big boy." He replied "I was in the
morning, but I am a little boy
now."
A significant result of the late
Democratic victory was displayed
in the United States Senate last
week, when half a dozen Southern
Brigadiers took the floor and cham
pioned Jeff Divis, eulogizing him
as a patriot of the first water, Sen
ator Lamar giving notice in con
clusion that "No man shall cail
Jefferson Davis a traitor in my
presence without meeting a vigorous
and stern denial from me."
It is from centlemen entertaining
views of patriotism like these, that
Mr. Cleveland will be obliged to se
lect a portion of his constitutional
advisers.
In the Republican caucus for
nominating a candidate for U. S.
Senator which was held at Harris
burg on Thursday last, J. Donald
Cameron received 11G votes, James
A. Beaver C9, William D. Kelley 5,
Galusha A. Grow 5, George Shiras 1,
and W. J. Hulings 1. The noroina
tion of Mr. Cameron was then made
unanimous. Tiie caucus was in
pession several hours, and the ma
jority endured good naturedly the
fierce philipics of Lee, Emery, and
one or two others, against Mr. Cam
eron. It was votes, not talk, that
counted, as the result proved. Mr.
Cameron will receive the full Re
publican vote of both Houses, save
perhaps half a dozen of the most
rampant Independents.

Political history cannot show
anvthine more farcical than
the
"kick igainfct Cameron."
Two years Bgo a Jew personal en-
j mit s cf Senator Cameron organized
a bolt in the Ilepublican K-arty, de
feated General Beaver because he
was Mr. Cameron's friend, and turn
ed the State over to the Democrats,
all for the purpose, .is they alleged,
of "unloading Cameron." Mr. Cam
eron, as a good Republican, pursued
the even tenor of his way, support
ing party men and measures, and
he and bis friends helped swell the
immense majority in this State for
Blaine and Logan. But Blaine and
Logan were not the only candidates
voted for. Among others, every
district in the Slate elected mem-

this Legislature would elect a United
States Senator. It is only fair to
assume, and in the absence of proof
to the contrary it i. not straining a
point to allege, that legislators were
chosen with an understands g or
knowledge of hcv they would vote
on the Senatorial question. As the
i legislative session approached, the
L.imft tl,Pn and the same journals

while others tried to insiigjie anoin

caucus assembled, not being able to
persuade one of their so-called In
dependent brethren to make a
square issue against Mr. Cameron,
but thirty-nine votes to one nunareu
'and sixteen for Cameron. Of the
thirtv-nine votes cast for General
ieayer a argfc proportion were
jven j, as a murk 0f personal es-
teem or friendship or preference,
notwithstanding his positive asser
tion that he was not a candidate,
and these gentleman will all earnest
ly support Mr. Cameron as the
choice of the overwhelming major
ity of the caucus. But what nn
amusing and farcical ending is this
of the mighty resolve of a few dis
gruntled politicians to "unload Cam
eron." A Etate sacrificed, a party
betrayed, a superb soldier and
stainless gentlemau immolated, in a
lruitless attempt to gratify personal
revenge. Having again tried con
clusions with Mr. Cameron and his
friends, and again been worsted,
we hope, for the sake of the future
welfare of the party in this State,
that the lesson will have a lasting
impression. Iet us have peace!
There were fifty votes cast against
Cameron in the Republican caucus,
as fallows:
For Bearer Senators A ull, Hood,

The generous offer of Mr. Vander
biit and the high sense of personal
honor which dictated the re
fusal of General and Mrs. Grant
have seldom been paralleled. The
consideration with which the gift
was tendered would in almost any
case have compelled acceptance;
but the keen sense of self respect
which has characterized Mrs. Grant's
conduct throughout her bun
band', tribulationo has been
strong enough to resist
en such thoughtful generosity.
var heroism of the General has been
rivaled by the social heroism of his
noble wife.

So long as the presence of men in
Congress is tolerated who violated
their allegience fo the Union and
fought to destroy it, and still, after
taking the oath again boast of the
crime, it really does seem like strain
ing a point to dispute much over the
question whtther Jeff Davis was false
to his comrades in treason as he was
to the Union that cherished him and
gave him importance.

The Democratic Conundrum.
Still the main question is, "What
is a Democrat?" All the Democratic
newspapers are at present engaged in
expressing opinions on that subject
and no two agree. The Sun, for
example, is quite sure that a Demo
crat must be in favor of a 6trict con
struction of the Constitution. "Oa
all all other questions," it 6ays :
"Democrats may fairly differ without
imperiling their title to upbear the
party standard." But The World,
another shining light of Democratic
opinion, is convinced that the one
thing needful is to "turn the rascals
out." and evidently does not care a
brass farthing about the constitution.
And the fiery leader of western Dem
ocracy who thunders forth his com
mands from Louisville "between the
sherry and the champagne" is con
vinced that a Democrat may believe
anythinsr else under the sun, but if
he does not believe in 'revenue only'
he is not a Democrat.
Now it is interesting to observe
that this little discussion takes
dace after the election. These peo
jile first support their party, and
then try to find out what it is. They
first elect a President, and then set
themselves to investigate him, and
send out exploring expeditions to
Albany and ask each other with
bated breath and corrugated brow,
"What does the man believe, and
what sort of a man is he. anyhow?"
Having succeeded in electing the
treat political What is-it to the Pres
idency, and intrusting the power
for four years to a so-called party
which does not agree with itself at
all on the main question of what it
is' for, these people have one comfort:
they have secured for themselves a
conundrum to amuse them for
the next four vears. More fiBcinat-
iiiff and more perplexing than the
' fifteen puzzle;"' more enduring, be
cause not likely to get settled until
Cleveland's term expires ; and more
interesting because all the offices
depeud on it; this pleasant conun
drum is to occupy the attention of
the supporters of Cleveland, and,
more or less, of the whole American
people, as long as thev have pa
tience to tolerate government by the
so-called Democratic party A. i.

Cameron's Triumph.
Haruishurg, January 10. The
Republican Senatorial caucus was
held yesterday afternoon. Senator
Smith, of Philadelphia, was presi
dent Thirty Senators and one hun
dred and thirty-five Representatives
wtre present. A number of propo
sitions were presented and an anima
ted debate of two hours followed,
with little reference to the pending
questions but mainly devoted to crit
icisms upon the public acts of Sena
tor Cameron by his opponents, and
explanations of these in remarks
eulogistic of the Senator by his sup
porters, who, as indicated by the
frequent bursts of applause, clearly
outnumbered their antagonists
Finally the following resolution, of
fered by Cooper, was adopted, with
out a division :
Itesobxd, That the nomination for
United States Senator, equally with
other nominations for national, State
and county officers publicaily made
in accordance with party usages,
are binding upon the representatives
of the party and especially upon
those participating therein.
After the readir.c of a letter of
declination from General Beaver, a
ballot for United States Senator re
sulted : J. Don. Cameron, 11G ; James
A. Beaver, 30; William D. Kelley,
.3; Galusha A. Grow, 5; George
Shiras, Jr., 1. The nomination of
Cameron was made unanimous.
Major Brown, iii a telegram, with
drew his name as a candidate. This
insures the reelection by the Legisla
ture of J. Donald Cameron for the
six years commencing March 4, 18&5,
as both Houses are strongly Repub
lican. The election takes place on
Tuesday.

Chicago, Jan. 14. The remains
of Schuyler Colfax arrived in Chica
go at 7:15 this evening in a special
car attached to the regular passen
ger train on the Northwestern Road.
The car was appropriately draped
and each side bore the inscription
"The Nation Mourns." In waiting
at the depot were twenty-five of the
most prominent residents of South
Bend, including ix distinguished
Odd Fellows, wh'o, with the delega
tion from the Lodge at Mankato,
formed the escort to the ex-Vice
President's late home. Two hun

Earthquakes and Storms.
Maprto. January, 14. Earth
quake tremblings were felt yester
day at Torrox, Cannillas, Almune
car and Algarobo. The storm in the
Southern provinces still continues
and the rivers are greatly swolen.
The sufferings of the people who
have been rendered houseless by the
earthquakes are intense. According
to the official record the number of
persons killed by the earthquakes in
Granada was C05 and the number
injured 1480.
It is estimated that ,$50,000,000
has been squandered in trying to
solve the problem of perpetual mo

Washisgtox, Jan. 14. The Sen-
ate this morning passed Senator
ideot to appoint to the retired list
one person who has occupied the
position of general, commanding
any of the armies of the United
States, or general-inchief of the'
United States Army. He rcoved to
amend by adding "with the rank and
full pay of such general or general- i
in chief, as the case may be."
This hill ia intended for the relief,
of Gen. Grant. It was offered yes
terday by Senator Edmunds, who
then explained its purirose; and said
that the name of the beneficiary had
been purposely omitted, to avoid the
constitutional" difficultly experien
ced with the Fritz-John Porter bill.
Under the bill, if it becomes a law,
the President would have authority
to appoint General McClellan or any
other officer who has commanded
the Union armies, as well as Grant,
but Grant is the man who will be
appointed if the bill passes.
Senator Edmunds left the chair
this morning to urge the passage of
the bill, and.in language much more
feeling than he is accustomed to em
ploy, begged that the Senate might
unanimously agree to the measure.
The Republicans watched the Dem
ocratic side of the Chamber for the
opposition they felt assured would
lie made manifest. To the credit of
ths opposition only one man, Cock
rell, of Missouri, publicly opposed
the passaee of the bill, ile lased
his opposition upon the fact that
Gen. Granthad a guaranteed income
for a period of years of $15,000 per
annum, and that the retired list of
the army was not the place for pri
vate citizens.
Half a dozen Democatic Senators
then argued in favor of the passage
of the bill. Men who yesterday and
the day before eulogized Jtff Davis
as a man of honor and a patriot told
the reason why they should support
the bill. George," of Mississippi;
Gibson and Jonas, of Louisiana ;
Jones, of Florida ; Maxey, of Texas,
and Voorhec8, of Indiana, all briefly
urged the passage of the bill, and it
was adopted by a vote of 4'J to 9.
Those voting in the negative were
Beck. Cockrell, Coke, Harris, Pend
leton, Saulsbury, Slater, Vance and
Walker. Later in the day the bill
was sent to the House, and it will be
taken up for consideration there as
soon as an opportunity can be reach
ed. The Heir to Millions.
Allentowx, Jan. 14. A few
days ago Joseph Downing, manufac
turer of fire biick, received a letter
from his brother in England inform
ing him of the death of a maternal
uncle, who had left him heir to his
estate, worth three million dollars.
The Times representative saw the
letter this afteanoon. Mr. Down
ing is the oldest nephe w of his de
ceased uncle and inherits the estate
if there is no will If there is a will
Mr. Downing will nevertheles get
the bulk of the wealth. It was
known that the uncle was wealthy,
but no one knew he counted his
possessions by the million. Mr.
Downing will leave for England in a
few months, and in the meanwhile
his interests are looked after by his
brother.
In 1S4-5 Mr. Downing came to
America and started the Montour
Iron Works at Danville, where the
first iron rails were made in the
United States. He established iron
works at Boston, Pottsville, Atlanta
and other daces, and for the last
eight years has been extensively en
gaged in the manufacture of fire
bricks and by thrift, enterprise and
sound judgment has accumulated a
competency. His windfall has not
turned his head and he continues
his business aslieietofore.
Ths Washington County Boom-
Pittsburg, Jan, 15. The oil ex
citement at Washington, Pa., still
continues. A stranger secured a
bottle of oil from the Gantz well and
made his retreat, having eluded the
vigilance of the guard. There is no
disposition on the part of the owners
of the well to torpedo it and test its
ultimate capacity. A derrick has
been located on the Gordon farm
near the town, and drilling is fast
proceeding. The country will soon
be dotted with derricks, and several
geologists now in the field predict a
big gusher in the Franklin Town
ship belt. The Fulion House, the
leading hotel of Washington, is as
suming the appearance ot an oil ex
change. A Duel on Horseback.
Bainrkwge, Ga., January. 14. A
report comes from Calhoun County
that two men. named Joel Shuman
and Thomas Ginn, fought a duel on
horseback to settle an old quarrel.
They met on the road. Ginn'slitt'e
son was on the horse behind his fa
ther, who told him to get down and
run away. The men then began
firing at each other. Each emptied
the contents of his revolver. Shu
man was wounded in four places and
fell from his horse He died in half
an hour. Ginn has has three wounds
but many recover. The boy stood
near a fence corner and watched the
proceedines. He was terrified.

London. January 14. The offices
occupied by the American Legation
in this city narrowly escaped destruc
tion by fire this afternoon. The
building in which Mr. LowellV of

set on fire through some as yet unas
certained cause. By means of a

in early control of the flames and
through iU strenuous exertion the
buildings were saved, the rooms oc
cupied by the Legation escaping
without any serious damage.

THE CRIME CONFESSED,
The District Attorney and Coroner
are conducting an examination into
the death of William Druse, farmer
murdered by his wife in the town of
Warren, four miles from Richfield
Springs. Frank Gates, aged 14,
nephew of Druse, livingin the family
made an artless confession showing
that the crime was committed De
cember 18, and that Mrs Druse com
pelled him to shoot her husband the
second time, and aid her to dispose
of the body. They boiled it and fed
the flesh to hogs and burned the
bones, the ashes of which were bur
ied in a swamp. The boy says the
woman cut her husband's head off
and put it first in the stove. The
boy acted as fireman and had a ter
rible time destroying the evidence of
the crime. The neighbors wh no
ticed an unusual smoke and odor
were refused admittance.und papers
were kept over the windows. Since
then the house has been re-papered.

o'clock he went in and was attacked,
beaten insensible, gagged and bound
and robbed of about 820, after which
the robbers went to Christ's room,
where he and his wife were sitting,
beat him and took a large trunk con
taining bed clothing, which they
thought also encased the Kecks'

Mrs. Keck ran out of the room to
give the alarm. When aid came the
robbers were gone and her husband
lying upon the floor, just reviving
from stunning blowe. Adam has
not yet regained consciousness, and
it is not thought he evtr will, as his
brains are oozing out of the wounds.
Four of his ribs are broken, each in
two places, his eyes are swollen shut
and blood is clotting upon his brain.
The floor where the affair took place
resembles a slaughter pen. The
walls are covered with "pots of blood
the floor exposes to view matted
blood and hair and the bed is ciim

The gag and rope are in the hands
of detectives. Two men, Jacob

and Christ Keck claims he recognizes
Coffman as one of his asnilantf.
The robbers were painted red. .

Fort Wayne, January 14. The
striking of brakemar. of the Pittsburg
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad
against the system of running two
trains of freight in one train with
two loer motives and one crew, styled
the double-headed system, remains
unchanged. Only one freight train,
a local bound east, left ths city to
day, which eluded the strikers by
running through the tity at a high-
rate of speed without stopping. 1 he
strikers could not board the train to
disable it. The yards are blocked
with freight trains, which the offi
cials are unable to move. At noon
Superintendent C. D. Law, himself
unspiked and turned a switch to al
low a freight train to pull out, but
the strikers immediately replaced
and tespiked it and would not al
low the train to leave. No mail, ex
press or passenger trains have as yet
been molested. Superintendent Law
holds a conference with a committee
from the strikers this afternoon.
Am Express Tnls Jansa the Tram.
Wilkesbarrr, Pa., January 15.
The Bulfalo Fast Express train
from New York, jumped the track
at Stony Creek, Ntar White Haven,
this afternoon. The accident was
caused by a misplaced switch. The
fireman, seeing the danger ahead,
jumped from the engine and was
instantly killed.
When the danger was discovered
a- brakeman ran through the train
directing the passengers to hnrry
to the rear car. This being done
quickly, the car was detached and
the brakes put down. About fifty
passengers were on the train, but no
one was seriously wounded. John
Rice, the engineer, was found at the
throttle of the engine in a fainting
condition.
