General Malone Sustained.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-General Malone to-
gay SAID that every mail brings him new in
movement in the Southern States, and that
there is every reason to believe that in the
elections this fall the anti Bourbons will sweep
virginia He says that the Readjusters have
iost only one man on account of his attitude
lly with them, and voted for the Bourbon
Presidential ticket. General Malone saws
that the Texas Senators are discovering that
they are not supported by the people of their
State in uniting with the Bourbons in the
Senate, as the four leading Democratic news
papers of Texas support Mahone's attitude. In
Arkansas, too, he learns that there is already
a break from tho solid Democracy, and one Of
the former leaders is at the head of an opposi-
ton movement. In the Caroinas and in
FLORIDA there are, he says, constant indications
OF an increasing opposition to Bourbonism

vulgar and stupid story. 1t purports to give
an entertaining account of Southern Califor-

men; and succeeds in filling its pages with
dreary and forced puns and jerky dialogue;
and introduces the reader to an exceedingly
vulgar quartette of persons, whose flirtations,
and eold-hearted cruelty toward the gentle
and usting animals that inhabit the plains of
the West, alike stamp them as unimaginative
unprincipled and undesirable in every way. If
