McClnre.to his own nev.swaper, (the Repository,) should be read by every Pennsylvanian who desires to see the inside workings of the Radical party : THE SENATORIAL SLAUGHTER, Editorial Correspondence of thePraaklin Repository. | IIARKI-BURG Jan. 11,1867. All efforts to avert the blistering dishon or of the election of Simon Cameron to the first legislative tribunal of the ration* , have proved utterly futile. The people , believed that thev had precluded the pos- j sibility of such a result, for in no single Senatorial or Representative district in ; the State does a majority of the Republi cans desire Ins election. On the contrary ninet®-.-twentieths of the fai.hful men who have by noble, patriotic effort given ; victory to our cause, are earnestly, impla cably opposed to lorn, and demand the. election of a tried and trusted statesruau to the responsible position of Senator. That the auction of the caucus will star tle and appall tlie Republicans of Pennsyl vania I cannot question. But few of the overwhelming majority who desired a different choice believed such monstrous perfidy on the part of their legators" within the range of their action. Even i the leading men who entered th.e contest as a forlorn hope, with an earnestness worthy of their cause, reposed in fancied safety until it was too late ; and many pf them, but a few weeks ago, censured me an an alarmist Drcanste I raised an humble voice, of warning to tlie people. Knowing as I did, before the late elec tion, that Cameron had debauched both our immediate Representative and our Senator, that he had wrung from our leg- : islativo candidate in Perry a written j pledge to support him uuder the threat of defeat, and that he had Contracted for a Senator and two , llt-pr sentatives in the adjoin.ng Bedford district in the nomina ting conference, 1 could not doubt that eLe WIICLC, as here, lie had Corrupted the dele gated powers while tlie people rested in confident security. I slid hoped, however, tfiat a wrong so unexampled and exception less would not be consummated, and I com mitted the natural ei ror of bowing in silence j rather than peril harmony >nd success in a ) struggle involving the most important otli cers who were io be charged with the safety of our nationality. Had the voice of Stevens, and Eoruey, and Grow, aud their friends, rung out, bold Jy a month ago, as they did yesterday the Commonwealth would have been spared this iudelliblc blot upon its fame ; but al hoped tor the crown when the usurper should fall, and feared that he might wound liis as-ailants moiully in the vio lent throes of his dtath. Why Simon Cameron was chosen, I need uot repeat. The story is familiar to all, even in the humblest and remotest homes of the State. It written in flaming characters on the dome of the capitol, or branded inefficeably upon the brows of tlie men wliodui it, no one would have to learn thereby how the richest jewel of loyal victo ry had been basely barteled for a price. I have been one of llicaiultitude of wit nesses who encompassed this unequal struggle. I did not err in estimating how the Legislature was instructed and volun tarily pledged to vote for Senator. More than enough were so chosen not by trick - eiy, but by tin- spontaneous expressions of those w hose votes were sought —to have made Governor Cut in the nominee tor Senator ou the first 1 allot; and of the res idue, not one half—hardly one in five, dared to avow to their constituents before I the election that they would vote as they | did ia-t night. When the members had got safely be yond the power of the people by their elec tion, everv appliance was made to bear up !on them that ingenuity could devise.— i There weie offices for the ambitions, plun der fy ■ lie venal, and promises for fools. Men came heie s'.Lll strong iu theii integri ty and mindful of tlwir noble peo ple who hid conti led 111 them, but 1 saw theiu wither and f ill like the blight ed leaves of autumn ; and fall, like ope of old, to rise no more. Tnusd d the harvest of corruption go ou until the garners of ] the master were full. '1 he informal meeting yesterday of those who desired to save the L.'p'ib icau organi sation from suicide, showed sufficient strength to defeat the power ot 8 subsidiz ed caucus, had not the same influence de . ir.o alized the Democratic members. Their" nomination of Cowan was but . notice to all that a sufficient number from that side were ready for delivery whenever wanted to consummate ttie election of Cameron Tlie la*t that to have refused to rerognize a caucus because it was improperly con trolled, would have been fruitless, made many men unwilling to make a failure in opposition to what hod the form of a tegu lar nomination, and men sullenly bowed to conscious wrong. Had it bet n possible to unite sufficient strength on \Jr. Stevens, or Mr Grow or any other gift; but to all audi propositions there was no response from those who had resolved upon perfi ly. It was otherwise denomin ated in their bond. To me, this result brings no personal disappointment, anwn, not to raise for nearly five . years. King Hudson reigned over the English lailroad speculation of 1847, ami famine Stalked over Europe, and especially i in lt>l aid. spreading suffering ami Causing - wide spread failures. A pur.-ly commer cial snap emphasized 1857, caused by in-j flalion and overtrading. But the crash of 1867, ifone is inevita- ! hie, will he "l'elioti upon Osa," indeed.; The chasm is too deep and datk to think t of. much less to look into. Let u> hope i then rather, that by rigid economy among consiimeis, the present heavy balance against us oil the year's foreign trade may he up. 'het favoring skies will bring us abnudaut crops, and the hands of produ cers he multiplied all over the. land, so that the present heavy burden of taxation can be borne.— Pihshury Chronicle. A Cbarnel tluuse. A writer in ihe Washington Intellioen- t cer spe ks of a terrible spectacle, iti the new cemetery, within a dozen to Js of the Arlington mnnsioti. lie says : A ireti ar pit, twenty feet deep, and the same in diameter, has been sunk by the side of tbe flower garden, cera*-nted and divided into compartments, and down in- j to this gloomy receptable ire cast the bones of such soldieis as perish on the ; field, and either not. buried at all, or were , so covered us as to have their boues min gled indiscriminately together At the ; yine we looked into this gloomy cavern, a literal Golg- tliH, there were piled together ,skulls in one division, legs in auotin-i, arms 1 in another, and ''lis in another, what w.-re estimated as the bones ot two thousand | human beings. 1 bey were dropping i fragmentary human shcletons into this r*> ce "taclealmost daily, ani." at that time it was perhaps half full. The fi r "' thought in looking down upon this rcvoi.'t"g scene was that no such disposition should* have been planned for these bones, tliat ihefe was laud enough, am] they should have been buried as others were, in parcels as j nearly those of a human body as possible, and marked as unknown soldiers. We Liav, not changed our mind . upon subse quent reflection. James Smith, a f*>t youils man, has been arrested in Rochester, N. Y for. I stealing a suit of clothes. Three yt ars ago he was worth $32,000. lie beeune ac quainted with a fast young lady, who led him to squander all his money, and then deserted him Becoming In-art broken, ho descended aith drink and low ! into absolute loafeiistn. and finally com mi t | ted theft, as he says, Iti relieve his necessi ties.

A handsome turn was realised. *'A Great .Cry and l*tttle Wool.'* At *prcliminary eaucos held by the thirty-two legislative supporters of Curt% j Stevens and Grow, on Thursday afternoon, Senator Fisher, of Lancaster, according to : Forney's Press, said : "He believed that the election of Simon Cameron to the Senate of the United States at this time would be the great .-st disaster ; that could happen to the Republican party, \ and it was for those "present to determine , ; whether they had better go in and partici pate in the proce< dings of the CHUCIIS and i submit to its decision, or whether they had 1 b< tier remain put. As for bis part, he had n<> hesitation in saying that there was but ; one power beneath heaven (pointing to Mr, Stevenw) that could induce him to go into the caucus." The Gen. did not go in. Senator Biilingfelt of Lancaster, said : "A great crime was to be perpetrated to night The high offices of L nited States Senator was to be bargain d awav for gain.; , There wa® not a gentleman in the room (if there was he would rail upon him to step j forward) who did not believe this. There i was not a Senator present who did not feel satisfied from the bottom of his heart that this office would be bartered and sold to night. Nine out of every ten intelligent ! citizens will endorse their action if they re- j ' main out of the. caucus ; and he, for one 1 should not become a party to a movement ! thai vould bring dishonor and oisgt ace,riot • only upon the members of the Legislature but upon the constituents and the great Re j publican party of Peausylvania, by gi*i"g j his voice or lending bi presence to a body ; ' of men who are going to assemble to-night, to set at defiance th best and holiest wish es of that great party " And Mr. Billingfelt did not go in. Col. Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland, said : "The friends of General Cam.-ron had se cured a m joritv that would give him the j nomination in caucus * He had no hesi j tancy in sa*ing that the election of Simon ! Cameron would be the worst calamity that | could befall the State. It would be a d.s --: honor, not only to the Stale, but to every ; member of the Republican party. The dis oa®e requires a radical remedy, and :t is for the men who are faithful to Republican 1 principles to set th. ir 'faces aga nst tliiscor- j nipt effort of.Simon Cameron and strike-at the very roots of it. Better ten thousand times that no election should be made than that he should lisgracu us. * * The true 1 policy of those who are opposed to Cameron l is to force the election before the House ; ; and defeat him at all hazatds."
