shat he had too ,nch respect for himself the Senate
ond the world at large to insult anybody in the
Senate Chamber and that as for the Senator rom
Virg,nia that Senator cannot insult me. lie Is
oowerless to insult me-" In the confusion which
followed the few remaining words which MI mn
uttered were inaudible in the galleries All tna'
was heard was an intImatiOn that someone was
PLAYING the bully. Anyone who heard nlahones
remarks knows his reeOr1, or is a witness TO ms
c,uraoe knows that in the Southern sense hemeant
every word that he uttered, and that 1t is Tor the
valiant Georgia Senator 10 explain to the Southern
people why he accepts the insults.
Regarding the oyertures which were made by the
Democrats TO General Malone, when they hoped
that he would vote with them, various rumors are
aioat One story, which is believed by many ne
pnblicans is that several Democratic Senators ap-
proached General Malone and intmated that any
man he might name for Secretary or sergeant-at-
Arms of the Senate would be acceptable to them.
Another story is that the present Secretary or per-
SON sent by him. went to General Malone to convey
assurances that he could have as many appoint
ments rs he might desire in the Secretary's office.
What is positively bnewn except to General Malone
and one or two of his close personal friends is OF
rather Indefinite character. -.
"A TRIBUNE correspondent who made some ihyes.

Democracy of Virginia. In this letter, IL rs

Malone the belief that al his political interests
would be safe in the keeping OF tne ca 80
party in the Senate and that he would only need 70

order to have them recognized and gratihed. n,s
letter is also believed to have contained request
that when General Malone came TO washington 10

CASE OF CAPTAIN Fl. w. HoWGATE.
Colonel Cook 10 rrosecutc-Wenring Yes
terdny-BaiI Fixed nj $4,000.

The case of Captain ii. w. Howgate
came up yesterday afternoon before United States
Commissioner G. g. Bundy. Captain HowGatc was
present, in charge of Mr.. A. b. Newcomb, special
agent of the Department of Justice, who made the
arrest, and Deputy Marshal Williams. The in.
formation OH which the warrant Of arrest was
issued was made by General W. b. IIazen before Com.
missioner Bundy on the 10th instant, and charges
that on the 18th of February, 1872 lIowgato did
with force and arms. convert to his use S2 0OO
and on October 10 converted Sill 800 to his own use
and on the 1lth Of August so converted $1,000 and
on the 2lst of August, 1890. si24SO1a Judge Jerc.
miah Wilson, Captain Howgate's counsel, referred
to the weak condition of his client who was
scarcely able to be out OF bed and suggested that
bail be fixed for his appearance for hearing.
COLONEL WILLIAM a. COOK,
who has been specially designated by the Attor.
ney- y-General to prosecute this case, stated that
some OF the testimony could be ready to-day, but
that 1t was being prepared from the records of the
Signal Office, the Treasury Department, and the
telegraph Office. He felt authorized to say that the
amount embezsled would exceed the sum stated
in the warrant, and he suggested that $4,000 be
fixed as the amount Of bail. Judge Bundy read
the law which fixes the punishment for embczze-
ment at from one TO ten years or fine equal to
the amount embczzled, or both, and stated that as
the amount alleged to have been enbezzled was
siO30S12, he would fix $4,000 as the amount OF
bail. The counsel said they would consult MS to
the bail, and asked that the case be adjourned to
Saturday, at two o'clock. The marshal therefore
took Captain H. to his residence, where he will
remain In custody.
