A Sketch of His Lift*.
r Simon Cameron, the first in the American line, grandfitther of the publicist, emigrated from the highlands of Scotland, with a brother named John to the United Slate; about tbs year 1740. He seuttfl With a numerous Camby in Donegal ToffMjMp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He wfiS gp agriculturist, and HU first work in the Hew World wee as tenant rmer of the Presbyterian Society, of which Camerons formed an important part. His set son Charles had first worked oa the form, but removed to the village of Maytown Pusr by upon the death of hie father. He learned the trade of a tailor, and followed that calling all his life amid poverty and never ceasing care and toll. His wife's maiden name was Martha Pfouti. The P to a ties were H uguenots, and came to America, ae did most Of the Continental German emigrants, that they might enjoy religions liberty.

With Dr. Urahl young Cameron remained two years, and the aervtoe done him by that connection was considerable. He left this good friend and became apprenticed to Mr. Andrew Kennedy, the publisher of the county paper at Sunbury. Here he partiallg learned the printing business, completing it (when Mr. Kennedy’s paper changed hands) in Harrisburg. under James Peacock, who was then publishing the Pennsylvsaia Republican. In this office he met and became intimate with Mr. Ingham, once promineut in the politics of this State, and Secretary of the Treasury in President Jackapn’s Cabinet. At the time now spoken of Ingham was Secretary of State of Pennsylvania. The Federalists in 1820 had, through a split in the Democratic party, carried Busks County, and Ingham, who had taken a foacyto young Cameron. Sent him ia 1821 to edit hie pisper, the Bucks County Messenger. Cameron succeeded in uniting the twe papers of the county in the Democratic Interest, and recovered the control of the party in Bucks at the next election b]f a majority of 1,S00. This was his first triumph ss s political manager. But although his campaign la Bucks had been a success he made little money by it, so he left the Bucks County Democrat—ss he called the amalgamated sheet—and went to Washington under engagement to Messrs.

In 1888 Mr. Cameron was appoiuted by President Van Buren to represent Urn Federal Government among the Winnebago Indians.

He held his place solely as the political manager ot a great State -placed in it through that influence, and anxious to keep it through the power it gave him at home. He held the Foreign Relations’ Chairmanship for sometime and was for awhile on the Committees of Military Affairs and Public Bnildings. In 1877 Mr. Cameron was asked by Secretary ot State Evarts to name a Minister to England. By one of the most apparent and ridiculous movements in the nation's unwritten politics, be waived the request in favor of other Republicans, and of course had himself designated lor the place. The spontaneous movement fell through and John Welsh waa appointed. < PERSONAL TRAITS OP THE -IAN. iPhiladelphia Telegraph.; The tall form of General Cameron was to the end erect in carriage.

fortune.

Cameron was again elected Senator of the United State* oxer. Xhaddeus Stevens, Andrew G. Carlin and Galusha A. Grow. Of the members who voted for him twenty-one Republicans had been either solemnly pledged or instructed by their constituents to vote against him. But this election caused the defeat of the Republican ticket in the fall of 1867. Another investigation ensued, but Mr. Cameron got it up himself and made it harmlees. In 1872 the Issue wss made on the Greeley fiasco ana under the direct leadership of Cameron, and Grant carried the load through, which gave Cameron a re-election in 1878 to the Senate without a contest. In 1877 Mr. Cameron resigned in favor of his son Donald Cameron. The Legislature elected the son tor the unexpired term In March, 1877, and January 22, 1878, be was chosen to succeed himself for the term of six years, being again re-elected for another full term of six years on January 20,1885.

Washinoton, June 27.—With the falling off In the number of visitors at the White House, due doubtless to the hot weather, the mail received at th* F.xecntive Mansion is increasing. The letters have increased in number quite perceptibly the past lew weeks, and now nearly rival the volume received at the beginning of the administration, when they surpassed all precedent. There is apparently no vacation ■ear for the clerks at the White House. This morning President Harrison was kept busy, although he saw comparatively few persons. Secretary Proctor called at 9 o’clock and remained for an hour and a half. It ia supposed that the succession to the vacancy in the corps of Assistam Adjutant Generals was one of the topics of discussion. Secretary Proctor gave Way to Vice President Morton, who claimed the attention of President Harrison for more than half an hour. This is Mr. Morton's first tisit to Washington since his departure after $he adjournment of the Senate. New York affairs, doubtless, were considered during the Conference.

Various Trials for Violations of Election Laws in the Federal Court. Argument in the case of Tanner Fisher for bribery occupied the greater part of the time of the Federal Court to-day. Fisher is charged with having bribed David E. Cotton, of Shelby County, to vote the Republican ticket, paying him $25 for the service. Cotton testifies to the truthfulness ofthe charge and is corroborated by his wife and brother, who heard portions of the conversation between the men. The case against the defendant appears to be stronger tuan many of the election cases tried at the last term, and the District Attorney and Assistant Cockrum are making a determined effort to secure a verdict of guilty. 1 Mr. Cockrum made a forcible argument this morning, and Mr. Chambers closed the case with a speech this aiternoon, which was one of the ablest and most convincing that he ha*

Three, Freight Trains Collide at La- , trobe. Pa.—In Tennessee.
Latrobe, Pa.. June 27.—In the collision of freight trains here, yesterday, on the Pennsylvania Road, thirty cars were wrecked and many people killed and injured. The exact number is not‘known. A west-bound freight collided with an extra freight going in the opposite direction. Another east-bound freight was on a side-track on the bridge and the two trains crashed into it. One locomotive and thirty-one cars went over the embankment
into the creek, a distance of 50 feet.
Engineer Caldwell and his fireman were buried under the wreck. The conductor of the freight states that, in all probability twent-five or thirty men were carried down

REPORTER GRIFFITHS WINS. Decision of the Supreme Court tu the Controversy with the Secretary. By its decision to-day. in the case of State Secretary Griffin vs. the State in the relation of John L. Griffith,. Reporter of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court pronounces the entire act changing the dnties and pay of the
Supreme Court Reporter void.
Some weeks ago that part of the act requiring the Judges to prepare their own syllabi was declared unconstitutional. In order to test the act tally, Mr. Griffiths brought suit to compel the State Secretary to comply with the old law in receiving and distributing bis reports. In the Circuit Court the old law wm held to
be
peal of « Cbiei Justice Elliott gave the opinion, holds that the various parts 0! the set are so interlocked and interdependent that the good can not be separated from the bad, and therefore that the entire act is destitute of validity. Its essential features are unconstitutioiud and they carry all down with them., Where the provisions of an act can be separated so that the ffnconstitutionol ones can be removed and leave the others complete and meaning the same as before, it is sometimes possible for part of the law to be rejected and the remainder retained, but no such possibility exists in this esse. Courts can not patch up legislative eractments. The well-known Bruce Place suit was alto affirmed by the Supreme Court today. Certain heirs have been trying to get possession of a body of land in the northern part ofthe city, which is now in the bands of more than one 'hundred innocent purchasers. The decision is a victory for the present holders of the property. Some persons have wondered at the suit betw een two such good friends as Supreme Court Reporter Grittiths aud State Secretary Griffin, it should be understood that the suit was brought simply to teat the law and it entirely friendly on the part of all interested.

A good old mother, who has raised three families of children, and who has lived beyond the maximum three score years and ten, is in the Circuit Court surrounded by relatives. friends and litigants. It is the opening day of the trial of the somewhat celebrated White case. A multitude of circumstances make np the cause at issue. Rhoda A. White is the widow of Robert White. In hia will he cut her out of fee simple interest in his estate, and also made no provisions for one of their sons— Benjamin. (Robert had been married, and so had his second wife, who brought up the children of both and the offspring of the new marriage.) Mrs. White, instead of taking the lifetime interest as set apart to her in the will, elected to take the widow’s one-third. Under this election, there wm set apart to Mrs. White a portion of the White tarm, the old homestead, and some money. Some of the children, George and Robert included, expressed a belief that Mrs. White was incompetent to manage her estate. Proceedings were brought (without her knowledge) and a jury found her incompetent. Dr. SmiA Mapes was appointed her guardian. The present proceeding is an effort on her part to have the former proceedings set aside. Meantime she has filed two other suits endeavoring to show fraud. She has also made a will in which she leaves her estate to the son who was cut out by the father, and who has stood with her in the litigation. Doubtless the legality of the will is involved indirectly in the proceedings relating to her mental soundness. On the stand to-day she maintained herself well. It if in evidence that she has made unnecessary purchases calculated to fritter away her estate. It is cited that she purchased a history of the Bible—but she says she sold home-made soap and bought it with the proceeds—and thai when he daughter was married site gave her for 1 “trousseau” a trunk and a set of false teeth. It is one of those unhappy aud apparently unnecessary family disputes over an estate. MARKET FOR INDIANA’S BONDS.
Reason the Stnto Loans Are Always Taken by New York Saving* Banks. State Treasurer Lemcke returned from New York lost night. He feels that the State hM done well to place so much of iti big loan as it has in the short time since the advertisements were published, and he is confident that the 27 per cent- of the loan not yet taken will be disposed of by the middle or latter
part of July.
The State of Maine is trying to aell several million dollars’ worth of bonds in New York just now and is isiling miserably, Captain Lemcke said, though, agents are peddling them about every bank in the city. The Maine people, fearing that the offer of Indiana bonds would lessen their chances of a sale, did all they could to depreciate Indiana’s credit, and industriously spread the report that there was s question of the validity of her bonds. This aused some temporary embarrassment in
engagea ine attention or this secret body. It appears that the slab, in CMting about for something that will give it respectability, has written to all the great men in this and other lands, asking them to become honorary members. A letter was written to President Harrison. The reply came from Secretary Halford about aa follows: “The President has directed me to aav that he has received your letter and to express sympathy with the objects of your club. However, he has made it a rale not to accept membership in any club except when he can take an active part in the proceedings. On this ground be must be excused from becoming a member of
your organization.”
This letter stirred up a tempest in a teapot. One member snapped out that the club didn’t ask “Mr. Harrison to become an active member of the club, and that the letter was clearly an intentional evMion of a direct answer. He moved that an answer in like spirit be returned. W. H. H. McCurdy tried to demonstrate that the letter didn’t mean what it said, and that it wasn’t
