This dis cussion was occasioned by tho recent election of Mr. Mutchlor to Bucceed his fathor, tho lato Congressman Mutchlor, of Pennsjhania. Thero are varioim in stances of horodity in botli houso and eonato, but necessarily thoso of tho senate aro few in compariBon with those of tho hoiiMJ. 4 Four Uajuuls have roprosentod tho stato of Doluwaro in tho senuto James Ashton Hajard, tho older; Richard II.

James Donald Cameron was chosen a senator from Pennsylvania to till the vacancy created by tho resignation of his father, Simon Cameron, in March, 1877.

IIih services in tho scnato so far will, therefoic, comprise a period of twenty years, or two more ears than that of his fathor.

Ho was again elected to tho sonato to succeed Edgiir Cowan and took his seat in 18G7 and was ro-olected in 187'J, resigning in 1877. An inBtancoot heredity in cabinet piifer ment occurs in the Cameron history, as James Donald Cameron, tho son, was President Grant's lust sccretury of war, having been appointed to succeed AlphoiiBo Taft, who succeeded W, W. Belknap, resigned under impeachment. Tho two instances of presidential heredity were those of Presidents John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams, and William Henry Harrison and his grandson. John Quincy Adams served lis a bonator and secretary of state, and after tho term of his presidency became a representative in congress. I lis txjri, Charles Francis Adams, served as a representative in congress from 1858 to 1800, and wiib re-elected, but resigned in 18G1 to accept tho ministership of Great, Britain, a osltion previously lilted by his father and grandfather, bo that there ensued to tho Adams family a triple heiedity in tho important otllco of minister to Eng land. u.

His grandfather, Phillip R. Thompson, wiib a representa tive in congress from Virginia from 1801 to 1807, and his fathor u representative from tho same stato from 1817 to 1819.
