MAHONES BOUQUET.

As President Garfield sent beauti.
ful bouquet of flowers to Senator Ma

fed the corrupt bargain that was made
with Malone by the Republican lead.
ers, which contemplated the placing
in the Virginia traitors hands all the
patronage of his State in exchange for
bis vote. This was the corrupt trade
that was made and by all odds it is
one Of the most disgraceful that ever
tainted the history of American poll
tics. Mahone's vote was needed to tie
the Senate and give the Vice. Presi-
dent the casting vote, He was offered
the patronage of his State for his vote
aud it was duly accepted 1t is not to
be wondered at that honest men of
both parties stand aghast at this exhi.
bition Of corrupt manipulation in the
Senate of the United States. And the
case becomes all the more fragrant
when it is known that before Malone
was secured, conferences were held at
the White House, with the President
as tho chief adviser in the rascally
business, and Mahone's subsequent ac-
tions in the Senate show that the as
surances he received from the Repub-
lican leaders, that he should control
the Federal patronage of his State,
had been endorsed by Garfield himself
But there's trouble brewing for the
Radicals which they probably dreamed
not Of Retribution is coming swifter
than they thought, for Messrs. Jorgen.
sen and Dezendorf the two Republi.
can Congressman from Virginia, have
served notice on the Administration
that if Malone is to control the dis
trbution of Federal patronage in Yir.
ginia they will cast their votes in favor
ofa Democratic organization ofthe next
House of Representatives, and as they
hold the balance Of power in the House
as Malone holds it in the Senate, their
threats amount to something. It's a
good thing for the Democratic party
that it is rid of Malone, and as things
look just now, Presidential bouquets
will hardly be able to save him from
the wrath to come.-ECchaHge.

have had the opportunity of delivering
this Inaugural homily on the beauty

THE POISON OF THE RE.
PUBLIC.

An exchange remarks: at seems
that the State of Wisconsin is afflicted
with Cameronism as well as Pcnnsyl.
vania. In 1875 Angus Cameron Of
that State was elected to the Senate
of the United States over the late Mat.
thew ii. Carpenter by coalition OF
the Democratic minority in the Legis
lature with certain number of bolt.
ing Republicans, who refused to vote
for Carpenter, although he was the
regular candidate. In supporting Mr..
Cameron for Senator the Democrats
soon discovered that they had commit
ted monstrous blunder the only re-
markablo thing in his career being the
fact that he was born on the day, July
4, 1926, made memorable by the death
of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.
As Senator he was of no account
when compared 10 the gifted and brill.
liant Carpenter, who succeeded in de.
feating the reelection OF Senator
Howe in 1879. Cameron's term ex.
pirod on the 4th of March, but the
Legislature of Wisconsin refused to
listen to his appeals for another term
last January, and elected Mr.. Philetus
Sawyer. A few weeks ago Senator
Carpenter died, and Cameron, at the
election shortly after, was chosen "
serve out his unexpired term. 1t is
now charged by the anti.Cameron
men that the election was tho result
both of conspiracy and wholesale bri.
berry, and as confirmation of the latter
il has been discovered that on the day
after the election a member of the
Assembly had paid off a 81 800 mort
gage on his homestead without any
visible means of getting the money,
while other members were found to be
remarkably flush. An investigation is
threatened, but Cameron is now back
in the Senate, where the Republicans
stand in sore need of his vote, and he
will not likely be disturbed What an
ineflable disgrace it is that in so many
cases of the election of men to the high
position of American Senators, their
places have been literally bought by
the corrupt and almighty dollar
