"T^RKE HAUTE, IND.
Friday Mos'iiins*, January (, 1871
THE Philadelphia Pre** notices the patent fact that the Democratic party is rapidly returning to its former abject subserviency to the Southern leaders.— Knowing full well that their strength in the future must come from that section, they are determined to conciliate the Southern politician?. This action has once before been the cause of the overthrow of the party, and may be in this dav the cause of its death.
A itECEXT DISPATCH from Daytonj Ohio, says: "The Chief of the Fire Department reports 36 fires during the year 1870, with only 11 false alarms. The total loss by lir&s is estimated at $44,000, with ,m insurance of §24,000. In 1869, losses by fire amounted to $268,000, with an insurance cf 5153,000. The decrease in losses can be lightly attributed to the excellent system of Holly Water Works wijli which the city is provided."
Simon Cameron.
A Ilfi.rrisburg correspondent learns "from a very reliable gentleman, who .ought to know, that Gen. CAMERON positively declares his intention of retiring to private life at the close of his present
Senatorial term. He says he will not be in anv one's road when his successor is to be elected. This being the truth, it will considerably change the aspect of the Senatorial light, and make contests inside of our organization that otherwise would not occur." The .«ainc writer gives this sketch of the Senator's busy life:
General Cameron is now in his 72d year, having been born in Lancaster county early in 1799. He started life as a journeyman printer. Whe., he was of age he edited a Democratic journal at Doylestown, and afterwards became connected with a paper in this city. In 1830 he established the Middletown Bank. His ability as a financier attracted the attention of those who started early to build railroads in this State, by whom he was elected to manage their affairs as president of their companies.— Indeed, before he entered politics with any interest, he had been President of Iwo of the leading railroads of this State, and was also Adjutant General, during which time he perfected, to a high degree, our volunteer military system. He was elected a United States Senator in 1S45, serving until 1849. Re-elected in 1857, he resigned in 1861 to become Secretary of War. In 1860 he was earnestly urged for the Presidency. In 1862 he left the War Department to go as United States minister to Russia. Returning to the United States, lie was in 1867 returned to the United States Senate, which term will be closed in 1873. If living at that time, and after a career so marked by active and important labor, by which he has won great fortune and enduring reputation, it is reasonable to suppose General Cameron will feel like retiring to the shades of private life, there to enjoy the repose of his decline, and prepare for advent to the other life whose bliss is measured by the good which men do in this life.
A Strange r^to y.
The Washington Patriot, edited by Mr. IIARVEY, late Minister to Portugal, in its edition of December 28, gave a curious story to the effect that the present war in Europe may be attributed to the unsatisfied ambition of an American girl. It is well known that Miss Elise Hensler, the opera singer, who was born in Boston of German parents, and was once a public favorite at the Academy of Music in New York,was married about eighteen months ago to Don Fernando, the father of the King of Portugal, the lady having been previously created Countess d'Edla. Although the Court and society of Lisbon were at first inclined to rebel against this inetalliunce, as it was called, they have since become fully reconciled, and the Countess occupies to day a position only second to that of the (.^ueen. Frequent attempts had been made by Prim and his colleagues to induce Don Fernando to accept the throne of Spain but although these were urged with great zeal, and were seconded by the support of the English and French Governments, they received no encouragement1 and an effort made in that direction in .'ha early part of 1869—only a tew mcntlis before bis marriage—was repelled with BO much decision as to be considered even rude to the Spanish people. But the proposals were renewed alter the marriage, in the hope of overcoming the objections of Don Fernando bv the temptation of high honors to his wife, who, by a transition to the Court of Madrid, would become the equal, if not the superior, of the hjgh born ladies of Lisbon, who had at first recognized her with coldness in consequence of her humble origin. Informal negotiations occupying several months followed, bit were finally broken off, according to the story, in a remarkable manner. At one of the last interviews between Dom Fernando and the Spanish Minister, at which the Countess d'Elda was present, the former inquired what would he the eventual position of his wife should he go to Spain. After putting this question he withdrew, leaving the lady and the Minister to settle the delicate point between them. The Minister stated thot she was at liberty, to name any tit le, distinction, or dotation, adding that she would always be the first lady of the palace. To which the Countess replied, "So far, so good but His Majesty desires my position to be as clear as possible. What I wish to know is, what will be my part on great ceremonials, ike the opening of the Cortes, or other corresponding occasions?'' The aim of this inquiry was evident, and the Minister was nyt taken by surprise. He rejoined that she might be made a duchess, or grandee, or have any other title, but as Queen, never, NEVER!' This answer settled the matter so far as Dom Fernando was concerned. The Spanish crown was immediately afterward offered to Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern and his acceptance of it was made the signal for the beginning of the great war which has proved so disastrous to France, and which the ultimate consequences to all Europe are not yet to be foretold. As some doubts as to the entire trustworthiness of this account have tound expression, Mr. Harvey, in a subsequent article, has reaffirmed the correctness of his original statement in every particular, and says that the facts were given on the authioity of the Minister who conducted the negotiations. It is believed, however, that Dom Fernando was really glad to find an excuse for rejecting what he always regarded and described its a crown of thorns. Dom Fernando is a Coburg, who had shared the throne of Portugal, as King Consort, with Donna Maria II. Although a votary of art in its various forms, and given to luxurious ease he is described as etninentlv liberal and Catholic in all his opinions, with acute perceptions in regard to public affairs. He had wisdom to cut short proposals like those which tempted Maximilian to Mexico. He also distinctly injected the throne of Greece before it was offered to the present incumbent.— I Thus it has been the singular fortune of I THE tax levy in NEW \ork is$.._/ per this Prince to refuse three thrones during $100 in Brooklyn something over $2 in the last eight years. Boston $1.37, and in Philadelphia $1.80.
"Beecherism and If* Tendencies." Snrratt and Democracy. Many readers who do not indorse 'he The Chicago Post, in a recent issue, following—as we certainly do not—williiayg: find its perusal not altogether uninteresting:
The Catholic World, for January 1871, has an article under the above caption.— The author is no great admirer of the Reechers, and says some plain things about them. He thinks that since they thrust themselves continually forward upon the public, said public is entitled to look closely into their merits, lnciden tally the writer seeks to reach some ends of his own, for which we have no concern, but many of his hits intelligent people will, at once, own to be rtell put. Here is one: "The Beecher family, we grant, are a gifted family, but not more so than thou .sands of others. They have talent, but not genius, and are not above mediocrity in learning, science, taste, or refinement. The sermons before us—Henry Ward Beecher's—are marked by a certain rough energy or a degree of earnestness and di reetnesa, but they indicate a «ad lack of the logical erudition, of varied knowledge, breadth of view and depth of thought. They rarely, if ever, rise above common-place, never go beneath the surface, are loose, vague, indefinite in expression, unpolished and not seldom even vulgar in style, and have only a stumporator sort of eloquence."
Again: "The Beecher .family never defend a decidedly unpopular cause they are incapable of being m&nyrs to either lost or incipient causes they never join a movement till they feel that it is destined to be popular they were never known to be Abolitionists till it was clear that the success of abolition was only a question of time and we should not see Henry Ward Beecher at the head of the Woman's Kights movement if he did not see or believe that it has sufficient vitality to succeed without him. Yet the Beechers are shrewd, and usually keep just a step in advance of the point ihe public has reached to day, but which the siyns of the times assure them the public will have reached to-morrow so that they may always appear as public leaders, and gain the credit of having declared themselves before success was known. We can not, therefore, assume that the world they appear to lead is actually up to the point where they stand, but we may feel very certain that where they stand is where the world they represent will stand to morrow. They are a day, but only a day, ahead of their world."
The writer has grave doubts respecting the moral basis, and final issue of the Beecher theories: "Beecherism jump3 astride every popular movement, or what appears to it likely to be a popular movement, of the day. It went in abolition, negro suffrage and negro eligibility, and now goes in for negro equality in all the relations of society, female suffrage and eligibility, and reversing the laws of God, so as to make the woman the head of the man, not the man the head of the woman. Beecherism goes in also for liberty of divorce, and virtually for polygamy and concubinage or free love and free relig ion, while it retains enough of its original spirit to require the State to take charge of our private morals, and determine by statute that we may or may not eat, drink, or wear, when we may go to bed or get up that is, it would clothe the magistrate with authority to enforce with civil pains and pennliies whatever it may for the moment hold to be for the interest of private and social morals, and to prohibit in like manner whatever it holds to be against them to day though it may hold the contrary to-morrow."

Andy Johnson's only living son, a youth seventeen and eighteen years of age, is a clerk in Mr. Brown's store.
John H. Surratt understands the real feeling of the animus of the Democratic party. Referring to the harsh criticism of the New York World, he says: "Conscious to myself of right, I will not be deterred from the course I choose to follow by the howlings and carpings of those vcho would be my friends if (hey dared.— Chicago Post.
Whereupon the Evan.mlle Journal comments thus: John evidently understands the situa tion, and yet has not the discretion to take advantage of it. He ought by all! dress, means to keep shady until, by their dissembling, the Democratic leaders deceive the people into placing the Government unker their control. When that is accomplished, if John-will present his claims to the Democratic Congress and Administration, he will experience no difficulty in obtaining his reward. He will never unquestionably be placed upon the pension roll, or be given a good, fat clerkship, in some of the departments, with large pay and little work. What folly, then, for him to be thrusting himself upon the attention of the people, thereby exposing the duplicity of his friends and deranging their plans, when silence may secure him so many benefits. We are aware that "hope deferred maketh the heart sick," and the prospect of the success of the Democracy is so slight as to almost occasion despair, but John's only hope is in their success, and he ought not to throw a straw in the way of its accomplishment.

Mr. Bergh's Theories in EgyptHow Cruel Camel Drivers are Treated.
The camel's real tyrant is the professional camel driver, rather than collective man. In spite of his many faults he has his friends and protectors, and it is always at his own peril that the driver overloads him. It has been urged, in proof of the camel's intelligence, that when overloaded he refuses to rise. This reminds ene, says a writer in London Society, of the intelligent infant that let go the redhot flat-iron of its own accord. The fact is the camel can not rise when loaded to excess, and this is so well understood that the most unscrupulous driver regards it as the test of his maximum capacity. He rises often with a load too heavy to be carried far, but an abuse so flagrant is speedily and fitly punished by the premature death of the unlucky ruminant. A law fixes the legal rate for an adult at seven hundred pounds Arab (or six hundred and thirty-eight pounds English), and it is related by Brehm, in his popular description of the animal kingdom, that in the province of Siout, in Upper Egypt, a gigantic camel once entered the open doors of the divan, where Latief-Pacha, the Acting Governor, sat dispensing justice from his official chair. "What wants this animal?" said the Bey "he groans and staggers he has surely a complaint to make against his master. Send for him instantly, and let us confront the parties/'
The driver arrives, and, with guilty stupefaction, detects at once the point at issue. The load is weighed in his pres* ence, and declared to amount to one thousand pounds. "Do you not know," inqnired the Bey, "that it is illegal to charge any camel's back with more than seven hundred pounds? The pressure of half this load represented by even fleeting blows would be to you an intolerable burden think then what the whole must be expressed in enduring weight on the back of your unhappy servant. But, by the Prophet's beard and by all-puissant Allah, who has created man and beast to be brethren together, I will teach you to feel a brother's pain! Seize him and give him the five hundred strokes."
The order was executed and the judge immediately rejoined, "Now then, be off, and remember your fate will be worse should your camel have just cause for ac cusing you again." "The Lord preserve you and bless your justice," replied the broken if not repentant criminal as he writhed out of court no doubt to curse his camel and deplore his own misfortunes.
THAT lively novelist, free-trader, poet, traveler, political reformer, egotist, phil osopher, horse-fancier, antiquarian, man of the world, wit and millionaire, Charles Astor Bristed, has arrived in Washington, where he will spend the winter and give receptions, parties and dinners that will astonish rural members of Congress. Mr. Bristed is a grandson of John Jacob Astor, and was a g'eat favorite of the old gentleman—a fact which the latter showed in his will. About a quarter of a century ago he published a novel, long since forgotten, entitled "Carl Benson," and he has for years been a contributor to magazines and papers under that non de plume.
