Remarks of Senator Cameron on Ex.
contive Appointments.
Senator Carpenter offered the follow
ing resolution on Wednesday last, Viz:
liagoto . ed, That the Secretary of State,-
of the . Treasury, of the Interior, of
War, 61 the Navy, the Postmaster Gen
eral, and the Attorney General be re
quested to furnish to Ale Senate on the
first day of its next sesSion; information
of the names, age, and compensation of
ail inferior officers, Clerks and employ
ees im their respective- departments at
Washington, showing from what States
they •were respectively appointed and
hew long, and at what place or places
they had resided in the States from
which theSr . were respectively appointed
prior to their appointments, and upon
whose recommendation they were -in
' -nr
pointed.
Mr. Cameron. Mr. President—
Mr, Trumbull. Will the !Senator
from Pennsylvania let me say one
word?
Mr. Cameron. No,; because if I yield
I may forget what lintended to say.—
I have risen to say a few- words hi re
ply to the Senator from .?daine, because
the argument which he makes coin
cides entirely with nay judgment, but
he does not come to the same - conclu
sions that. I do. •
I am in faior; of the amendnient of
the Senator from Illinois, because I
think it will correct a great evil.
The evil in -regard to these ap
pointments is, that-Senaterssign papers
;to get rid of the applicants. That has
been the habit for long years. Impor
tunate persons come here and ask us
out of the , ,Chamber to go into another
room; and rather than talk to them we
eign their papers, often without reading.
,That - brings all this trouble. During
which-ended in 1849, I never called on
the President to ask for an- appoint
ment tcf office. - When appintments.
were to be made in my State he sent
for me ; either sent word to me by his
Pri-Vate Secretary or wrote. me a:note,
ItAking me to come to see him and con
sult about the affairs of Pennsylvania;
atni - se it would be now,' -if Senators
-would rest on their own dignity and re
fuse to go to ttie President. , to ask for
Places, leaving him the responsibility if
he declined to consult themtll And then
my friends Were generally cared for.—
The evil here is that we allow every
body to ask ps for our manes without
reflection, and thus we sometimes in
duce the President to Make 4mproper
appointments.
Only the other day the President
thought proper to send in somebody
from - Pennsylvania for a foreign mis
sion ; and one of the Senators from
Penii - §ylVania had great trouble in elm
vineing the COmmittee on Foreign Re
lations that the man was an improper
pee - son. - He was a good man in many
respects, but not at all fit•for the place
—a constitutional drunkard. No man
in the State would have recommended
him for the place which he got here;
and yet It was a great trouble to con
vince the committee that he was an im
proper person, because he was pleasant ;
bland and genial in his manners !
, to addition to that, within the last
- two or three weeks a name was sent in
to the *mate from Pennsylvaniii of a
Man as consul abroad, without c• isult
ht either of the Senators, and it urned
out the other day that he was can tin
a theft, that he was a Constitution 1
thief, and yesterday his name was wit -
drawn. I know
,I the first named gentle
man had the signatures of.-the Govern
or of our State, of the Legislaturel of
the dlectoral college, of every Republi
can member of* the other house from
Pennsylvania, ;and he bad my col
' league's recommendation for a smaller
place, and as I rode ; Up in the same car
riage with him I was put down as re
-commending him also I The other per
son had the recommendation, as 1 uttt
told, of the Philadelphia Union League,
the most respectable, the most intluen-
L ila( and the most effective organization
in Pennsylvania in the Republican
party, for this coustdate • and , yet he
was a thief! jf the Administration,
ats Was the custom in olden times, had
consulted the Se)mtorS, we should have
had no feeling about it, but we should
have told the President and Secretary
of State the defects and demerits and
the merits also of these men, and they
- would judge properly ; but nobody was
consulted, and reliance was placed on
their petitions and papers. You all
know that every day there is hardly a
Senator who is not called out twenty
times; I think that is a moderate esti
mate ;
I am called out fifty times,
sometimes to see people. They.present
you a paper; it is a great deal easier to
sign the paper than talk with them,
and so it is signed. If you do not sign,
they will tell you Mr. Senator, so and
so has signed, or Mr. Representative
so anti so, has signed ; anti you must be
uncivil to good ptople who think only
of their own interests and not of the
responsibilities of a Representative, or
else sign their papers. They are very
often friends whom you should serve,
if possible, but who think only of them
- selves. But if we had the amendment
of the Senator from Illinois in force,
gentlemen would feel the responsibility
. of their recommendations ; they would
sign no paper except that which they
were willing the whole world shmiht
see.
Now" '
-I do not care how many places
we get for Pennsylvania. Although no
appointment. has been made by this
Administration Witch I requested,
though no gentleman has: been alit,; .
pointed that I specially recommended,
.1 think nine-tenths of all the persons
appointed in the State are my friends,
becall'so no one could select from the
party without•getting my friendsl, and
yet I have heard here about factious.—
There are no factions in th:lßepublican
party of. Pennsylvania, I though there
may be some grumblers. I think it
would be a great deal bette'r to pass this
) resolution, and I am sure we shall add
Ito our own comfort if we refuse to sign
every paper that comes here. And
why should we riot? The Senate is a
co-ordinate branch of this government.
We are to judge of these cases, and we
are to decide whether the President has
made a proper nomination or not ;
and
why shall we encumber him with pe-
Miens] Let hina.send his nominations
here, mid -let us judge whether or not
they are proper persons to fill the pla
ces, and then we shall be respected as
we deserve to be respected. I shall
vote for this resolution and anything
else which goes to throw the proper re
sponsibility for its own action on each
branch of this Government.
WISY VOTRO FOR LONOSTRERT.-
" Were yon in favor of Longstreet's
confirmation?" I inquired of a noted
, ;;enator who lives Nye the 'Western
Coast. "Yes. kneW no more of
Longstieet than Nicodemus knew of

confirmation on this principle. To il
lustrate: My mother used to make these
old fashioned doughnuts, and when she
got her lard hot in the pot, she didn't
waste any batter in it till she had first
dropped in a little piece of dough to see

you see? and ill we find the lard all

WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1969
We regret nothing more than the act
of disturbing the comfortable nap of the
Potter Journal. It takes exception to
our incidental.remark about the "three
weeks of poor sleighing" annu
ally happens on its high lands. We
can Make it two - weeks if that will do
any better.
Among the several candidateS for
Ci'everirr we do npt yet see the name of,
the HON. BENWAIN FINCH, a citizen'
of the world. Mr. Finch has. - uever,held
any office, nor has he the means to pro
cure honorable mention in the papers.
We make honorable mention of Mr.
Finch, without expectation of fee or re
ward..
Who "Nap ". is, who writes for the
Beaver Radical from Washington, we
know not. But when he says that were
the Cabinet to be made over Curtin
would have a place in it, he draws a
very long and a very silly bow. Curtin
never stood a ghost of a chance for a
Cabinet positidu. Grant never selectB
dead men for advisers.
, Senator 'Cameron plumply denies the
i
charge made by his nemies, that he
bitterly opposed th confirmation of
Curtin to the Russi l n Mission. Ele
says that not a vote IVas cast against the
confirmation of Ch\rtin. Those who
know Gen. Cameron best must have
understood this nil along. The mission
to St. Petersburg; though highly hon
orable, aLways buries• the incumbent
NVIIo serves out the term.
Senator Ross of Kansas, declares that
he has had no stormy interview' with
Piesident Grant, but that he does object
to the removal of officials because John
son appointed them. -Also, that his sup
port of Giant will not be subservient.
We are glad to know t. Senator Ross
is a venal political speenial6r, and his
support of any man would reasonably
open the door to a Htispki(oll of tha
man's integrity.l That's about all tint
need be said tai those who know Mr
Ross._
We see that .fr. Ketcham and Gen.
Harry White have consented, reluctant
ly, to the use of their names as candi
dates for Governor of the Common
wealth. Mr. Ketcham is a deserving
Republican, but we do not see why hie_
should persist in forcing him in
to the field. Mr. Ketcham loves quiet,
is domestic, and cares little for-civil
honors. Gen. White is a modest, re
tiring man, who loves nature and his
profession too well to risl an election" to
the . Executive Chair, w sere he would
be in constant contact vith artificial
life.
WILL YOU APOLOGIZE, OR FIGHT P
The public ought to feel relieved by
the news brought from. Washington by
telegraph on the '27th of April ultimo.
It was then - announced that the diffi
culty between Senator Sprague of Rhode
Island, - and Senator Abbott, of North
Carolina, had been amicably settled,
much to the delight of friends, but, as
we suspect more to the peace of the
parties. •
We don't know that ourireaders kept
track of the " difficulty " from the
first. It commenced on the part of Sen
ator Sprague, a curious little fellow, not
vicious, not quite a sober man, some
times, not what people call "gifted
being," by any means, and not, as
Widow Bedott might say, " a born nat
eral." Senator Sprague is a fairiexam
pleof a man out of place. He is a bus
iness man from top to toe, and nothing
else. Having inherited great wealth
and many cotton factories, and having
furnished acres of prints, to the world
of woman, he was elected Governor of
Rhode Island, a State not much biggeri
than Tioga County, but , chock full of
industrious, quaint, and staid men and
women. It would not be much of a
job to rule over Rhode Island, as we
'view it; but the position upset Mr.
Sprague a little, and he has never right
ed since. When the war broke out he
was one of the first Governors to offer
troops, and what was creditable to him,
led them himself; and though it was
generally known in and around Wash
ington that Gov. Sprague was not much
of a General, he showed , a fine spirit,
and deserves credit for it. He married
a,,daughter of the then Secretary of the
Treasury, Judge Chase. He was then
chosen a Senator of the United States
by his State, and has served without
particular distinction up to the present
time.
But Gen. Grant has ignored the Sen
ator in some mariner ; and the Senator
undertook to hit out at the older and
abler, as well as Purer Senators, in the
Chamber. In the course of his passion
less phillipics ho used a figure of speech
common enough outside of the Senate
Chamber, especially in drinking sa
loans; to the effect that a certain little
puppy had snapped at his heels and
then taken refuge behind a bigger dog,
also his enemy.
~ A t this Senator Ab
bott, of North Carolina, took umbrage,
and persisted in applying the word
"pup y" to himself. Senator Abbott
t)
arose to speak after Senator Sprague
took 1 is seat, when the latter took his
hat and left the Chamber. Upon this
the honorable Senator from North Ctii•-
olina denounced the honorable Senator
from Rhode Island as a coward and a
sneak, of whom'he would demand sat
isfaction outside the Chamber. Objec
tion was made to this language, and
Senator Abbott pursued his quest for
satisfaction outside the Chamber.-
Then all Washington—which 'ineans
all the respectable rowdies and gam
blers—was• aroused and excited to the
highest pitch. Abbott demanded a re
traction, and -- Sprague refused it. So
we read, every day, for a week, that
there was a duel on the tapir. But at
last Sprague announced that he would
not accept a challenge, (for which he
deserves honor) and that he would de
fend himself if attacked. if
Then what? Why,. tI e " mutua
friends " 04 the Senatos--owent abou •
patching up a peace. Abbott demanded are honest, measure the means of Nisi
to kiioAf the words used referred to 'less men. We can now see who is
him. To this Sprague replied, that spending more than he earns, as well
since the
some
complained of Were ,as who is advertising more , cash than
written . some days prior to Abbott's 'he has, all put. Blessed be the Income
Tax. It is almost as great a leveler as
speech, they certainly were not intenti
ed for Abbott.. To which Abbott re-
Death
turned that since Sprague did'not aim
to lather Abbott, neither shOuld Ab
bot'sspeech i U reply, lathering Sprague,
be considered as applied to Sprague.—
And so the matter was settled and the
rowdies may go to their dog, and cock
fighgng, ' the gamblers, to their gas
lighted dens, and the balance of man
kind to unanxions rest, as if nothing
had happened; -
—But we are about sick of this sort
of thing. We took note of many simi
lar fracases during the session of
1860-61, when such men as Pryor,
Branch, Hindman, Garnett, Keitt, and
smith bullied the House, and Toombs,
Jeff Davis, Mason, Wield', Green, and
others, bullied the Senate. It was a
disgrace then ; is it less now ? Is a
man bound to take notice of and avenge
every epithet' hurled against him by
his enemies? We opine not. The men
who resort to epithets, personally ap
plied, are usually men who have little
weight in community. If Mr. Sprague
called Mr. Abbott a puppy, was Mr. A.,
bound to call Mr. S.,- to account for it?
Does Abbott, tulnitt that tb epithet fits
rtim? if no—am-.....yr15 r no 100 it; ntPoll.?
Better be a puppy than an Vinconscion
able fool, or thief, or villain. A Sena
tor should have reputation enough to
hear himself abused without noticing
the blackguard who abuses him. Should
Mr. Sprague call Mr. Fessenden a fool,
or,a knave, who would' think less of .
kr, Fessenden ? Why, who but all the
fools and knaves ? If Mr. Sprague call
ed somebody ' a puppy, none but the
puppies need complain, of course.—
Mark it—whenever you hear a bl i ack.
guard abuse his superiors, none` but
blackguards conceive that the decent
man ought to quarrel with his assail.
ant therefore,
Finally, if with the, return of the
States lately in rebellion we must take
the old " plantation manners," we
shall be heartily tired of the bargain.
- 'Why cannot Congress' protect itself
from such disgraceful exhibitions, even
at the stretch of incurring the charge
of tyranny at the instance of our •chiv
•
alric Southern brethreu ? Let a resolu
tion for the expulsion' of any member
using language unbecoming a gentle
man be offered and adopted instanter,
and our word for It imbroglios like that
between Sprague and Abbott will sel
dom disgrace the Senate of the United
States.
The phenomena of journalism in
Harrisburg are varied and interesting.
Prior to his renomination and confir
mation as State Librarian, the Editor
of the Guard had not many save good
words for the Legislature.• Since his
calling and election is assured he pitch
es into• the late ASsembly with a vigor
and ferocity unparalleled. We have no
defence to make for that body, though
we suspect that its moral status will
compare favorably with any that has
assembled in Harrisburg for a quarter
of a century.
The Copperhead press denounces
" The Imperialist," as a Radical paper.
That is, that portion iof the Copper
head press which is not in the ring.—
The third number of the new paper
contains - endorsements by certain jour
nals, South and Norih, every one of
which suppOrted Sey our last fall. So
it
far no Republican psi er has expressed
any sympathy with )the objects of the
new organ of Monarchy. Such papers
as the Mobile Tribune the Louisville
Sun, the Cincinnati Inquirer, and that
sort, declare directly or indirectly, for
the-Empire. We are not much afraid
---
of " The A . 'monarchy is an
impossibility so long as the masses are
intelligent. We do not object to the
publication of a paper devoted to Mon
archy. If there are monarchists among
us they are, if native, the offspring of
the Southern Confederacy.
There appears to be some trouble in
the camp of our opponents touching a
candidate for Governor. It is now said
that Packer (Asa) refuses to be a candi
date. It is also said that Hancock's
friends have raised $lOO,OOO to put that
gentleman on the course. That is not
much money, gentlemen, taking into
account the pauper journals which wait
with open mouths and hungry maws
for their triennial sop. At least half of
the Copperhead papers in Pennsylva
nia live off the pluckings of their party
candidates. Asa Packer is the man for
you, gentlemen. He has lots of money
and is liberal with it. Better take Pack
er, or give Hancock another $lOO,OOO.
A quarter milliott will hardly more than
keep the machine greased.
It is amusing tottote the laments now
forming the staple bill of fare in. our
Democratic cotemPoraries. As the heads
of Democratic officials Sall before the
axe, these virtuous jourmilists lament
the evil of partisan appointmenti—
When, pray tell us, did a Democratic
Administration ever suffer an opponent
to hold an office ? If you aro year-old
babies, very well ; but if you are men,
act like men. -
u More and more we can see that, with
the greed for place and brief authority
eliminated from their constitution, the
leaders of the Democracy would be re
duced to a state of inanity. When they
get into i the next world St. Peter will
have'a lively time to retain the keys
against so many ei4mapetitOrs. Old Charon
will do well to , r keep watch and ward
over his ferry-boAt, else some Democrat
ic leader will take possession of it and
proclaim himself Captain. Lock up
your crown; Pluto.

JudgeEdmondsrecently said ; "Hav
ing years ago made i up my mind never
to form an opinion Without knowledge,
invariably when I have done so, I have
made au ass of myself." I cheerfully
subscribe to that doctrine. So I have
not formed any decided opinion on Mr.
Emery's theory of the earth, because I
know nothing about its being a living
animal. 'lt is probable that he knows
but little 'more about it than I do. True
he has given some i valuattle information
l e
on.the science of g ology to those who
have not had acce s to the authors that
he has quoted, bu nothing that I can
'discover, to provOhe theory that the
earth is an animal. But as he appears
to class me with those that never think,
perhaps that is the reason that I have
not been able to make the discovery.
And further, he seems to rank me with
those -who believe all that their-mam
mas have told them. Now I have nev
-er belonged tO that class. The difficul
ty withane is that I have always be
lieved to little. I have never even be
lieved that the moron was made of green
cheese, though I would as soon believe
that as to believe that it was alive. In
fact, since reading, Mr. Em6ry's theory
and Judge Edmond's testimony itt• the
[ Mumler case, I hardly know if it is
1
safe to believe any thing. As to, what
Mr. Emery says about remitting the
flats to the Elmira paper we will let that
hoe as an offset to what was said about
his theory in that paper. 'We admire
Mr. Emery, esteem him as a - friend,

is not excelled by any member of the
