OVB NEW U. S. EfESZATOE.
The nomination of Hon..Tohn Scott, of
Huntingdon, to succeed Mr. Buckalew in
the United Slates Senate is a new triumph
for that great chieftain of Pennsylvania Rad
icalism, Simon Cameron. There were ;three.
prominent candidates before' the Legislature,

Moorhead, and Mr. Scott, The thances , be.

at Once settled all doubt.
Mr. Scott was a Democrat up to 1883, when
he accepted a nomination for the Legislature
from the Republicans. He only served one .
session, declining a re-election, owing to his
repugnance to public life. In the old con
tests-of the Deruociatk party, he was an op.

They Bear off the Sealps'aud Trap!'lee.
From it long, well written and evidently'
cot reLirenort in the Lancaster Intenigencer
of the doings at Harrisburg in Connection.
with - the choice of's United States Senator,
we collect the following racy particulars:
For months pat. the Senatorial election
has been an engrossing subject. IL was
thought the contest would be protracted.
'Whe n the Legislature met no 'candidate
seemed to limit: assumed any marked promi
nence. The friends of the different aspi:
rants were drilling their forces, but only a
feiv . of the principals had reached the scene
of contest, when by one masterly stroke - the
field was suddenly lost and won.
A marked feature was the befogged condi
tion of the Radical newspaper press. For
ney undertook to fulminate his decrees, the
'Pittsburgh papers squabbled over their pre
lerences,,and theStiste Guard, (Gov. Geary's
organ,) maundered on from day to da: ,
utter imbecility. -From time to ti
riot's :paragraphs were telegrap to the
effect that Simon Cameron had termined
to take no part in the fight, and ere were
plenty of simple fools in the. 1 party
who credited these skillfully prep' l .J ca
nards.
While Cameron kept out "of. sight the
Pennsylvania Railroad was distinctly under
stood tube in the fight. It is looking tOthe
great developments in railroad enter Prise
which will follow the opening of the through
route to the Pacific; and, since the General
Government has become the greatest rail
road contractor in the country, the directors ,
of the Pennsylvania Central would be sadly
lacking. in sagacity if they did not appreciate
properly the importance of sending , their at
torneys to Congress. Simon and the Great
Man Friday, of the great corporation, can
vassed very - carefully, but most secretly, as
to Whom theyeshould unite upon, for - they
were a unit in design from the beginning.
Cameron had his forces all thoroughly drilled.
Ile had not waited to buy votes in the open
market as he was forced to do when he was a
candidate himself, twoyears ago. He adopt
ed u cheaper and surer plan, and by promis
ing places to his political adherents in .the
ilifferent.districts, In case Grant should be
elected, he managed to have a very large
proportion, if not an actual 'majority of the
Radical members returned as his 'sworn and
'subservient `tdols. •
Sitnon Cameron never manoeuvred his
forees-hall so skillfully as in this Senatorial
,Contest. He was determined not to have
'any rival near 'Grant's throne, and the rich
prize for which he contended was the corn
oleic control of the Federal patronage in
Pennsylvania. The election of Clarke as
Speaker of the House was not immediately
claimed as a triumph. On the contrary his
intimate relations to Cameron were carefully
concealed. On the firslday of the session,
before the organization of the House had
been perfected, an apparently vigorou.s move'
was made to effect an early adjournment
over for several days. This was done to
throw all the candidates for Senator, and all .
their adherents off their guard, and it sue.
seeded most completely. No one 'outside of
the ring imagined on Tuesday afternoon that
the Senatorial caucus ,would be held until
just before the day of election. The pliant
tools of Caineron & CO., the fellows who had
been bought and:sold, walked about tho
hotels, wearing a collar on which all the in
itiated could see, 'plainly written; "Pam
Simon Cameron's dOg." Even up; to n late
hour on Tuesday they had not, the slightest
idea ,whom they wouki-vOte for: Vey were
waiting for Cameron ,anti, the Pennsylvania
Hafiroad fign4r4 man./ .
As . thc f raCti.dieriwho had b.4"en purchased,
or who- wOe in the market arrived at Har-
'risburg, they were conducted into the C.am
(iron caravansary, which bears the name of
the, chtti7or other words, The Lochiel
House. Here they were graciously granted
an interview with the managers of Ihe game,
and perhaps met the great Wintrebago face
to face. This part of,the performance is said
to have been very' amusing.
As the hours on Tuesday night sp / cod away
it became certain that the thing was all right.
At midnight Don Cameron, who had proven
himself to be'n most able lieutenant under
his father, the General, announced with an
exultant oath, that he iiould have it all set
tled by 3 o'clock, A. 3f. fle . wail Ma," an
hour ahead of lien: in his caletflatlon, for as
the clock told the hour of 4, and ere the gray
of dawn had begun to. break through the
gloom of flint winter night en exultant shout
went up ihe Council Chamber of the
Nyinnebag:Ars, which shook the very rafters
of the 'Lochiel. The triumph was AM and
complebr: Not only was SLIM to be Ina&
Senator, but the very last adherent of the
Curtin dynasty was to be mercilessly toma
hawked and scalped.

A SIGNIFICANT SPEECH.
The only thing in Congress last -week
worthy of special mention was the speech of
Mr. Washburne.,_of Illinois, (Gen. Grant's
particular friend) who addresied the Com
mittee of the Whole on the State of the
Union on the financial situation, and the,
necessity which existed for the Coming ad
ministration inaugurating retrenchment and
reform In the matter of public expenditures.
In the course of his remarks he declared that,
Cougrtss continued to appropriate money
in the future for All kinds of schemes as it
had in the past,it would sink the Republican
ruin, and ought to Ada any politi
cal (3'l, nization. lle cited cases where Con
gress bad 'retrenched in appropriations for
Public matters, at one session, while at the
'next it had more than made up thedeficien
cies by additional expenditure. At the last
session the deficiency bill, he said, had
amounted - to over 415,000,000. BY net a
few members the 'speech Was considered a
severe arraignment of the Republican party
for its. extravagant course. OuUte Demo
cratic side this view was genemlltaccepted,.
and Fernando Wood congratulated Mr.
Washburn on the promised , reformation.
We have heard these promises of reform,
however, so often that we prefer to wait be
fore placing much confidence In them.
CLEVELAND ON TLLE RAMPAGE. Our
neighboring city of Cleveland and its - vicinity
produces more sensational occurrences, or
the papers are more expert in hunting them
up (and we •suspect " that's what's .the mat

Lakes—Chicago always excepted. In one
issue alone of the Plaindealer, we find
the four following "intensely interesting af
fairs" detailed at length, making, under the
reporter's vivid coloring, a series of soul-stir
ring recitals hard to surpass in the 3letropo

Ist A Gorman Lutheran preacher refuses
to include sanctification at the funeral servi
bes of a man who,had kept a saloon, it being
contrary to the rules of his church. The
wife is willing to have sanctification omitted,
but it happens that the members of the
church are divided on the subject, and their
wrangling delays the ceremonies two boul

the funeral goes on without sanctification, to
the great distress undoubtedly of the lifeless
body. Some - days after, on returning to ad
minister "consolation to the widow," the
preacher is again attacked and flies to save
his life. Upshot of all, the arrest ofthe lead

will afford gossip for the fighting Christians

"General Grant, whose devotion to his

in Washington as a guest one of the most
distinguished of the confederateleaders."
" Gramnams," said. a Radical candidate -
in the far West, after having given his senti

inch deep in bed, during the night; he was
constantly cold, and required a hot fire in,
his room both summer-and winter ; the smell
was so Otfensive"that no person could endure
itilonger than a minute or two ; Drs. Briden:
bachcßucher, Efeckart and-Lebvengoed, well

The New York Day Book is an earndst,
spoken and independent paper, devoted to tt•
equality, fraternity and prosperity of the Dem.-

American system of Federated-States, on
White basis, established - by Washington an:

be safely extended over the whole "boundio ,
continent," was the best government on It'
earth, and must be restored "as it was" made by
Washington, or the whole land must need,

The Day Book, therefore, demands the rest;-
ration of the White - Republic, and as tilt, ins , :
be and will be accomplished, either thioue
their reason, or the blood and suiTering of th'
people, it earnestly labors for the former, and

apd crimes of 31ongrelism, it strives its win. ,
to save the country from the awful nece , ,ltio
