A Lancaster letter to the Philadelphia Press relates this incident in the early business life of Gen. Cameron. We have heard the old gentleman tell the same anecdote with a good deal of amusement: Standing to-day looking out upon the stretch of railroad which winds from this thriving city off"toward the State capital, an old gentleman near me said: "Do you know that Simon Cameron built this rail road from here to Ilarrisburg? And how he did have to fight against the prejudices of the stubborn German farmers who liv ed along the line of route! 1 recollect," he continued, "of my father telling me years ago of the public meeting which Mr. Cameron called at Middletown to farther the building of this railroad. There was a good crowd present and a bright man, a good talker, who was then the attorney-general of the State, made a very spread-eagle speech, but the subject was too big for him, it slipped from his grasp, and lie failed to state clearly the real object of the meeting. "Mr. Cameron, finding his orator lack ing in the essential element of pratical statement, took the stand himself and ex plained what he wanted to do. It then took two days to go to Philadelphia from Ilarrisburg. Mr. Cameron stated that when the railroad was built yon could eat breakfast at home in the morning, go to Philadelphia, spend several hours, and take supper at home again in the evening. This statement was altogether too much for the quiet farmers so long used to the stage-coach, and when meeting broke up there was only one man in the wholecrowd who took any stock in Mr. Cameron's statement. A short time after the meet ing was over he approached Mr. Camer on in the country hotel and said : 'Simon you made that story a little too big. You might go down one day and come back the next, but both ways in one day is too much for an honest mind to believe. I think, myself, the railroad will be a great thing for us, but not so great as that.' The next day he sent Mr. Cameron one of his best cows with its calf to show his respect for Mr. Cameron's fore sight and to emphasize his faith in his building the railroad." Congressman Young, or Tennessee, having said that the South would remain solid so long as the. Republican party puts men into office in the South who are "the worse possible characters imagin able," the Memphis Avalanche , a Demo cratic newspaper, says this :—"Sweeping condemnation, of Southern officials is wholly unwarranted by the facts," and names ten officials in Mr. Young's own district who, it asserts would lose noth ing by comparison with him, either mor ally, socially or politically.
