Waiting for the Lightning to Strike.

About the time Gen. Malone was elected
United States Senator, rumor was put
afloat that the German Bondholders of the
Atlantic and Mississippi Railroad-who
have always been friendly to Gen. Malone
had bought the other bondholders out
and would reorganize, with Gen. Malone
as President. This, it was hoped, would
be sufficient inducement for him to decline
the Senatorship. At that time, too, Sena-
tor Johnston was reported to be quite i'll,
and the contingency of vacancy there was
contemplated. These possibilities exerted
marked influence, it is stated, upon the
aspiring statesmen of the Re-adjuster's
caucus, and whenever a question involving
the personal wishes Of members was before
it, a large amount of lodging was the re-
suit. When personal favorite of one del
egate was put up for a position, and antag-
onized by the favorite of another, the
hopeful statesmen would throw themselves
in the rear, and when their names were
called no response could be heard. They
were considering the possible vacancies in
the United States Senate, and grooming
themselves for the contest, should one hap
pen to occur. 1t must have been an inter-
esting sight to have watched the move
ments of these patriotic gentlemen, as they
lifted themselves above the little local
squabbles about them into the atmosphere
of the United States Senate, awaiting for
the lightning to strike them. But fortune
did not favor them. The Dutch bondhold-
ers did not come to time, nor did Senator
Johnston, in an amiable mood to crafty
them, shuttle off this mortal coil. They
are still waiting, however, and if the
events, locked in the womb OF the future,
develop to their liking, we may expect a
very attractive array of white spirits and
black in the forefront of the stage where
the aspiring statesmen range their forces.

Gov. Blackburn, Of Kentucky, recently
pardoned out of the penitentiary Of that

was sharply presented whether wholesale
death or wholesale reprieve should result
from the miserable system Of management.

ernor took the side of humanity.

We hope Senator Hurt will push up his
inquiry about the robbery of passengers
practiced by the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad between Alexandra and Washing

six miles is an extortion that ought not to

Legislature to prevent it.
