CAMERON.
The resignation of Simon Cameron, on'
the 12th inst., to his seat in the r. S.
Senate, and evidently with the : intention
of forcing the election of kis son, J. Don.
Cameron (the disgraced 'Ex-Secretary of
War) to' his seat, indicates that,there still
exists .a supreme sway over our Republi
can Legislators; and that they,must do
his bidding. The Ex-Sec.,afteritianipula
ting the Cincinnati Convention and con
trolling Gov. Hayes' nomination, under
tock next, with the help
~tif_Xorton,
Chandler & :.Co., to cheat, ,tbe honestly
elected President ,out of his:election by
controlling the election
: returns of South
Carolina,tlorida aid Louisiii,ja, by using
the federal troops to that end:;`
Expecting
Expecting to be rewarded by, a seat in
the cabinet he assumed the role of a: die
t ttor and evidently disgusted Gov. Hayes.
Whereupon the whole Cameron family
undertook dictation in earnest:- Simon
quietl3won his birthday retires to his
parlor and "reclining upon a sofa," tells
his friends that he is "78 years old tn
niaht " and is tired ,of public life.
tbiS farce was. beingenacted-at
Washington and the ancient ,'Sinaon is
tearfully taking - leave "01. - "Ptlblic Life,"
the _youtlifol and more. vigorous Don
marshals 'the republican ho3ts At .
_llar.. ,
risbutrg and the announcement of bah
events are simultaneous.
The Harrisburg Daily Patriot of March
17th tells the whole story and will be ap
preciated.
No popular demonstration, •it seems
will be made in Philadelphia against the
Cameron transfer of the. United States
senatorship. The, newspapers of that
city, tho'ugh almost unanimous in their
denunciation of the indecent transaction,
appear to have too little influence upon
public opinion to arouse a populiarprotept
against it. There-is no doubt that there
are in the legislature - enough republicans
to resist and defeat the family arrange
ment if they were properly . .o . 4oained
their constituants. A .n►eeting in the
Centennial city, organiud and organized
and addressed by some of its leading re-.
publicans, viould have gone far to break
this.last and worst of Cameron jobs. It
would have encouraged to 'resistance re
publican representatives at home as well
as in other parts of the state, and there
woUldlaave been a sore or two of mem
bers ready to resist
_the transfer instead
of a solitary manly protestant in the
person of Mr. Chapin of Erie. But the
republican- party of Pennsylvania has
lost its spirit. There no longer remains
any of the manhood that defeated 'the
work of. a Cameron caucus in 1855. In
the corruption and servility to which the
party' has' fallen' it accepts such leaders
as the .Canierons as a matter of choice
and will have no. other. -The few who
indignantly denounced the family trans
fer soon became : alarmed at the noise
they made. They have already been
silenced into submission and they will
content themselves!. ,with making fists in
. their pockets until the Cameron power
again asserts its supremacy when they
may arouse themselves' to a fitful but un
availing proteBt, and then sink back into
their condition' of political vassalage. .s
At. Aiken, South Carolina,Friday-four
negroes were hanged for the murder
of two. German's last November.
ber. The murder '
was an atrocious one,
the bodies of the victims - being burned
in their houses. Pipe negroes were con
victed of the crime, the jury beforq whom
they were tried consisting entirely of
_colored men. —One of the murderers,
named Stephen Anderson, was respited
by Gvvernor Hampton at the last mo r
ment for thirty days. Notwithstanding
the high state of feeling against the ac
cused, arising from the certainty of their
guilt, they having after conviction, con.
fessed their guilt and other murders and
crimes of a heinous nature, the mandate
of the governor was respected. The peo
ple of South Carolina evince the most
loyal obedience to his authority even in
matters of life and death, and , this defer
ence extends to all parts of its territory,
where the- authority of Chamberlain is
not. sustained 'bY the . army of the United

thrilled with indignation, even l iti the;
heat immediately following the Presiden-,

.
pledges still fresh 1:)n his lips by ordering

barracks in either State. He nee - d
do nothing more. ;The rest will do itself.
The usurpers will surrender their ill
gotten gains, and, impelled..by conscious- ,
ness of villainy, leave - the:prOstrate States
kir new fields and pastures green. No
blood will be shed. The legally elected
officers will perform their duties tinim
'Peded and with a care-born of the knowl•
edge that the eyes pf the countiy'are up ,
on than. • ' ,
Life will once more be sacred And prop-,
. .
erty safe because crime ispurtished ; tt:xes
will be decreased! and labor rendered
more remunerative; tree, public educa

collected for this i)urpose are no longer
stolen ; the State debts will be rcignized
And efforts,. made; to pay them ; laws
framed to defeat the will of : the people as
expressed in elections, will be repealed ;
States long deprited of the right of self
government will be brought into line
with the other States_ of the Union, and
a national spirit] will be quickened
throughout the SoUth because the wople
will be made to fee} that they are "peers,

lina, purged as by fire,, will stand forth
rejuvenated, the Southern question will
no longer vex • long sufferingicountry,
and the whole land will share in the ben

With cheerful.cOnfidence we await the
happy result: Its importance has not
been exaggerated;l the pictpre has not
been overdrawn. No event since the sur
render at Appomattox has been fraught
with more blessings to the country than
will attend the stroke of: the pen that
shall recall the sOldiers of the Union from

Saturday last was St. Pat , rick's day, the
great event that furnishes a favorite
theme with popularoratom It is a com
mon custom of 'the Irish settlers in the
New World to gather together in the cit
ies and towns to commemorate, rather
than celebrate the day.
This is so coinmon, that.theirish peas
ant has a passion for 'owning as strong a
love for the - day as the native American
fur the Fourth of July, although they
are dissimilar. One is the banishment
of a curse upon Ireland -the other the
herailliug "of an ',lndependence, which
both notions respect, in America.
Let us then, firs these reasons, and "on
generals principles:- also, cordially hope
that "St. Patrick's day in the morning"
may, always rise bright and clear and
that the wearers of the green may cele
brate their patron ; .saint under a canopy
of blue sky wide enough to make not a
pair of breeches only, but a lull holiday

The primary object of this reforin
movement. is to . seduce a sufficient num
ber of ibuthern meinbers . congress
through the, patrouage.of
,the post office
department, and thus prevent the demo-.
cratifrom securing' the organization of
the Ouise. Col. kev's abilities and pp b

position of post master general. He suc
ceeded Andrew Johnson. by appointinent
yet he-had not sufficient influence With

His duty will be to recruit the men whOpe
gree'd or whose necessities will: render
them most susceptible to the blandiab
mt-nts of the administr4tion and who \ at
the same time will be _the most available
instruments in effectitig,its ends. In this
noble work-which so beautifully combines
civil. service zeform - with reconc liatien
Col. Key will have - a valuable coadjutor
in the friend .of jortou, Grant's late
post taater genefal, who paagnanitnetts,
takesihe second imiltion in: the, de
partment in the interest of the public
service. GPorge Wm. Curtis,will be un-
able to restrain his delight in the contem
plation of this extensive systetn of civil
reform. Col. Bob Ingersoll will reCog
nize in it a new proof of the wisdom of
the southern policy of the Fraudteent
President .
In prdef tnat tint?. may be given for
this policy to ripen, the Fraudulent Preai
dent,and his advisers are anxious to 'pre
ventlan extra session of Congress, dr to
postUone the meeting until as late a day
as possible. In thee mean time oppor
tunitiea will .be given to operate upon
such representatives as tre supposed to
be suscentible*to official influences. In
stea-d of seeking to conciliate the-south
ern people by the wise and liberal policy
that was promised 'in . the *withdrawal of
the troops from- Louisiana and South

fraudulent governors cherish the hope
that they will be sustainest by,the arm
'of federal power to the end, • and they
are encouraged by Blaine, Morton and all
the intrausigeant leaders-. of, the pa4ty.
For polie t y that would have compelled
the support or the administration by the
best men of all parties in congress an
extensive system of politica 'corruption
has been outlined through the manage
a!ent of the postoffice department, , , in
the: view •of capturing the house, with a;
southern colonel as the chief distributor.

policy with the , meagre - democratic ma-
