The question of the organization of
the senate has been practically settled
by the action of Senator Malone, of
Virginia, who has given evidence
OF his purpose 10 act with the Republi-
cans, TINS securing To them the control
Of the national legislature. There IS a
tide in the affairs of men, which, if
and Senator Malone, in turning his
J ack upon the traditions of the elfete
Democracy, and throwing the weight
of the vast influence attaching to
his position as arbiter of the politi-
cal complexion of the senate, with
the Republicans. has associated his
name with an act the memory of which
will be perpetuated in the fadeless re-
suits of that new era of progress in the
South which has been rendered possible
Virginia Mr.. Malone truly says that
'the Democratic party has done more to
injurc the South than anything else"
and il is 10 the end that the embargo
which its proscriptive policy has i'm
posed upon that section, may he lifted,
that he has announced his purpose to
cooperate with party whose political
aims and purposes are in the
line of popular education, the exercise
of free franchise and the highest posi-
bic development of the general interests
of the country. The courageous manner
in which Senator Malone has shaken of
the shackles of partisanship and mount.
ed to the level of exalted statesmanship
marks him as man well fitted to lead
the pioneer forces which shall infusc
new life and inspire fresh purposes in
the most favored section of our fair Re
public. The tone Of the southern press re
garding the new administration in.
dicates popular confidence in
its beneficent results, and the pros.
poets of n thorough political and
social revolution in the old slave states
within the next four years have been
rendered doubly encouraging by the ju.
dicious action of Senator Malone in
contributing so largely to this desirable
contamination.

We take sincere satisfaction in invit-
ing the attention of our readers to the
admirable letter of Secretary Window,
on monopolies, published elsewhere in
this paper. Its thoughtful and earnest
tone will commend it to every intelligent
person who will give it pcrusal, and
the broad and intelligent views
which it reflects concerning ques-
ton which is daily becoming
one of more serious gravity to
the American people. affords assuring
evidence that the author Is fully alive to
one of the greatest issues affecting the
destinies of this mighty nation. The
utter absence of all political charlatan-
ism. and the protest which it re-
cords against Yaging contest
for commercial liboFty from the
untenable stand-points of agra
rianism and communism, augments
the force of communication which
frankly comedies the potency of corpora
tons as bcne1cent agencies in the devel-
opment of the country, and as promotive
of the highest forms of civilization,
while insisting upon their subordination

The country at large will heartily en-

is 10 make no removals from Office ex-

an effective participation in the disgrace
