Malone and voorhees,.
Especial to Boston Journal.)

The MosT DRAMATIC INCIDENT OF THE DAY
Was the one between Voorhees, and Malone.
1t was short, bat, certainly SO far as the
Virginia Senator was concerned, was full IF
meaning. Opinions will differ as to the
proprieiy of Malone taking offence at voor-
bees, for the latter at first was disposed to
adopt Senator Hoar's suggestion and not to
indorse the opprobrious phrase as his own.
This disclaimer Malone did not clearly
hear or fully understand but Voor-
hees's subsequent speech and action
were extremely offensive. In response to
Mahone's calm interrogatory whether he in
dorsed the words renegade democrat as a
part of his speech. Voorhees, said, with de-
FAINT air, sneering tone and contemptuous
gesture; ~ indorse every sentiment and
word in that article. make it my speech.
indorse the word renegade in it. I indorse
ever criticism on the course of the Senator
from Virginia. He need waste no time in
putting words into my mouth. He said this
must stop. No one can stop me. That 10
cheap-very cheap" profound stiffness
had fallen upon the chamber when Malone
first rose.
MAHoSE's RESPONSE.
The silence became painful now. Malone
had remained standing, calmly waiting for
Voorhees, reply, the Indiana Senator tower
ing over his Virginia antagonist like giant,
when Malone, in low voice that could be
heard in the remotest corners of the chamber,
said: THAT is an assertion that no brave or
honorable man would make. denounce it
as such. Let him take that and wear it.
The preliminary conditions of the code were
satisfied. The insult had been offered by
VOORHEES,. The challenging words had been
spoken BY Malone. The incident ended. and
the Senate, taking a long breath after its
eight hours of strife and passion, adjourned
until Monday.
A Duel INPROBABLE.
A friend of Malone, being asked what
course the latter would take, SAYS he will do
his duty. There can be no doubt that Ma
hone would accept a challenge if it should be
sent. There 10 great doubt whether Voors
hees will send one. The laws in this Dis
trict in that respect are exceedingly severe.
Mr.. voorhees, 10 bod in language, but he
has not the reputation of having met his
man, as Malone has. Whatever
comes of it the incident will not tend to heal
the break among the virginian democrats or
to stop the break against the solid South
which has 20 successfully begun.

The Louisville Courier-Journal relates
the following. on the alleged authority of
n lady eyewitness. Of the recent burning
of the capitol Of Minnesota: The fire
occurred at night. From window she
watched the flames. and presently OBJ
served that the Stars and Stripes were
flying above the great dome. Would the
flag be reached and consumed? The
dome was blazing. and the flames shot up
toward the national emblem. creating 3
tremendous draft. which drew the flag
straight upward, but it held to its fasten-
ings. and the fire got nearer and nearer
every instant. just as the flames had at
tanned a height sufficient TO take in the

The terrible Oriental plague known as the
'Black DEATH" that in former centuries
caused snch devastation in Europe. and that
in 1874 made its temperance in Tripolis
after men had long ceased to fear its vista
tons, is still alive, and has recently appeared
in Armenia and on the borders of the Caspian
Sea- In 1876 it showed itself in Mesopota-
mia. In 1878 it crossed the boundary line of
Russia, and cases that were detected in Nish-
ni-Novgorod, Moscow, and other places,
spread uneasness throughout all Europe.
Germany and Austria closed their boundaries
and cut off all communication, railway as well
as other, with the empire Of the Cars. The
dread disease did not spread in Russia, and
finally disappeared from the European do
main, some say on account of the energetic
sanitary and quarantine regulations of Loris
Melikof, others because the atmospheric
conditions happened to be unfavorable to its
extension. But the Black Death has con-
tinued It's work ever since, and has just given
a sign of renewed activity by annihilating a
whole party Of pilgrims from Mecca, and
crossing the Euphrates to show itself once
more in Mesopotamia.

Thack"ray's idea of a dandy is supposed

would be a lady if he could, but as he can't
does all that he can to show the world he's
not man. That is my idea at any rate
To eliminate in a dandy is to my mind
almost as absurd as leading life in which
the word fast comes in. No. Endeavor to
prove respectable member of sOciety-not
an eyesore to those who lead a modest,
manly life. Many affairs-good, sound and
secure-are open to you; power of them,
indeed. When l have more time to spare
and when my own health is better will write
at length and state my views. Ever yours

AusAIuX Ii inc 00D8U0s
Senator Mahone's attempt to cut loose
from the Bourbon democracy has been
met BY that party with characteristic de-
monstrations. He has been badgered and
bullied to drive him from his course, and
it Is evident that his life is sought either by
the pistol Of the duelist or by secret as
sassination. The spirit of Ku-Kluxism is
abroad in the Senate Chamber, attempt
ing to terrorize and override by brute
force whatever Southern Senator dares
stand there and oppose its edicts. The
Southern Bourbons declare from their
places in the Senate, that the reports Of
violence, Of hanging, assassination, and
outrage in the South on account Of opposi-
ton to Bourbonism are false but the very
speech and acts of these same Senators
give the lie TO their declarations and show
to the world that the fell spirit of Ku-
Kluxism animates them and that they
would silence opposition in the Senate If
they dared by the bludgeon, the pistol or
the knife.
Repeatedly in the struggle with slavery
have its opponents in Congress been met
with Southern bravado, insolence, intoler-
ance and ruffianism. but in all cases, the
result was in the end to bring nearer and
more certainly the destruction of the in
stitution that bred the intolerant
spirit which still rules the South.
Cilley was murdered, Sumner was
struck down by the hand Of the ruff
fan, every staunch and out-spoken OPP
poser Of slavery in Congress was obliged
to be on his guard at all times against vi
olence. and finally when Lincoln was elect
ed the staggering Bourbons OF the South
declared they would not stand it and went
to work to break up the Union. Much
to their disappointment all their bullying
and rebelling served only to bring about
the emancipation Of their slaves and the
total failure of their plans and efforts to
establish southern contederacy. They
were whipped into complete submission,
but with leniency unexampled they were
pardoned and restored to the position
which they had forfeited, and yet they are
not satisfied because they cannot rule the
government which so recently and so gen.
erously removed its foot from their pros
trate necks.
Malone is southern man, was rebel
officer. but because he has grown sick Of
supporting that Bourbonism which curses
the South. blighting its prosperity, max
ing its people slaves to local political des-
potism that is worse than Russian absolu-
tism. he is bounded and slandered in the
Senate, and his life put in peril by his
intolerant Southern associates. These
Southern DULLES will not or cannot learn
anything. or they would have learned. by
this time, that they have nothing to gain
and all to lose by arousing again that
northern spirit which will endure long
but is invincible when its patience is ex-
hausted and the time for action has come.

France. which belonged to his cwn Depart

the Cabinet from whose portfolios the other

that neither one of them ever exchanged

beer prepared to send on all the Eng

and their passengers up in mid ocean,
or wherever the boxes carrying the
clock work machinery may be caused
to explode, is receiving great attention
just now. It is said he is silly lamp
lighter in Peoria, Illinois. He has,
however, created a deep sensation,
whether there is any truth in what he
has said or not. He says that on
every English steamer that sails from
an American port after September
first will be stored several of the in
fernal machines, and that no man,
woman or child of American or other
nationality will be safe at sea on a
British steamer. If Britain can only
be destroyed by killing a few thousand
harmless passengers Grove can easily
afford to destroy her on his terms.

Bradlaugh's BrayadO.

The attempt of Bradlaugh yester.
day to force an entrance into the
House Of Commons and the scenes,
demonstrations and popular uproar
that accompanied it will form a page
in English Parliamentary history
which the historian of the future
will hardly care to write. There Is
scarcely any point Of view from
which 1t can be regarded that does
not carry with it feelings Of humilia-
tion and shame mot only fer English,
men, but for all who value Parlia,
mentary honor, dignity and prece-
dent. The whole thing was disgrace
full IN every way. No right thinking
person can, of course, sympathize
with Bradlaugh. He is the represen
tative OF all that is detestable in Bri
tish politics. The fact that he wal
able to lead mob up to the very

deavor to take his seat shows that hs
is allowed to enjoy too much of tn,
