six months ago it was a lr lid r.-lrcad or

of the same pocket now and therefore the
organ plays another tnne. My eye has just
fallen on its denunciation of Hon. Simon
Cameron, who resigned bis scat in ihe Sen
ate about the time Mr. Hayri was inaugu
rated, and at wl><ch time the Pennsylvania
Republicans elected his son Don
the vacant seat. To refresh its
memory rend an editorial of its
own on the subject and recollect it defends
another resignation from the United States
Senate rs rabidly as it then denounced
Uon. Simon Cameron. Yon will find its
editorial under da*j of Maroh 17th, 1877,
and it reads thus:
■ ‘The accession of Haves to the Presi
dency left Don Cameron without a job.
There is nothing on earth more discouraging
and hopeless than for a journeyman poli
tician to find himse’f without a job. Ap
preciating this fact, the ancient Simon
made hast i to resign his position os United
States Senator from Pennsylvania, in order
that Don might be provided for. - He
issued his orders to the lackeys of the
Cameron ilk, who form a majoi'.ty of
the members of the Pennsylvania General
Assembly, and tbr re obefl'ent rascals as
sembled in caucns immediately and nomi

Now, when General Gordon tells the

ever before has tbe mejority of a Legisla
ture of a great State allowed itself to be
dictated to iu ibis style. The dose is a bit
ter one even to tho Radicals. The Phila
delphia Press is not at ail pleased with the
coolness with which Simon orders tbe Gen
eral Assembly to wigwag."
Mr. Editor. Simon Cameron’s resignation
was presented to the legislative body which
elected him, white John B. Gordon’s “slip-
oat" (to get money) wu i not known to a
man who voted for him. Georgia is ahead
of Pennsylvania in “dlarepu'tble politics,”
and she has stooped so low down now that
“disreputable” is too mild a word for the
present campaign, and it takes no prophet
to say booest people will not be willing to
submit to it.
Simon resigned because of failing health
a fact known to everybody—while Gen
eral Gordon slipped out to secure a pile of
money. It is more than likely that he made
as much or more by the secrecy as by the
resignation! Who can tell?
Bnt I intend here at this time to supple
ment tbe denunciation heaped on General
Gordon in 1877 by Senator Brown with tho
virtuous indignation of that immaculate (!)
leader of pulilio opinion—the Constilntioo,
which thus discourses of the trade between
Hayes and the Southern Democrats, viz:
John Yonng Brown and General Gordon.
When the Constitution a monk wonld be,
“a devil of a monk is he.” Look in its
issue of March 31st, 1877, when Governor
Brown was filing at Gordon lTom a masked

bargain, the terms of whic
friends, Foster and Matthews, drive a bar
gain through which he secured the office he
now fills, and to which he was not elected.
When Hayes attempts to repudiate their
contract, rCter reaping the benefit of it, be
either writes himself down a fool or else he
considers the people a cable to judge of men
and things. Whatever Foster and Matthews
did ln the critical da} a that precoded the 4th
of March in the interest ot Hayes was as
much his own act as if he transacted that
basinesa in person; and no amount of re
pudiation at this time from the White House
can unmake that baigein in the minds of
unprejudiced men.”
(Nor will any amount of repudiation at
is time “unmaketheliaraain" mndn vhnn
this time “unmake the barga'n’' mode when
Senator Gordon betrayed ihe trust of the
people of Georgia in shipping ont of the
Senate ‘after dark' to make money.)
“The bargain was simply this: Hayes,
by bis agents, Foster aud Matthews, agreed
to and with certain Southern Democrats
that iu consideration of hi* inauguration,
which the Demoorats confessedly Imd the
power to prevent anti shonld have prevented
as a fraudulent and nnlawtul act, he (Hayes)
wonld withdraw the troon in Sonth Caro
lina and Lonisant. The New Yotk Son b- -
lisves that Tom Scott, before ihe bargain
wa* closed, succeeded in inserting a further
obligation to the effect that llayes should
encourage and approve the project of
completing the Texas Pacific road by
means of the loon ot tho credit of the Uni
ted State or otherwise."
Pause here a moment to see how artfnliy
the Cooiiitution, which had been inserting
Huntington's articles, both aa editorials
and communications, sought to throw dust
in somebody's eyer! ! Tom Scott, indeed!
