correspondents and give them the latest intelligence
of the Presidents condition. In view of the excel
lent facilities afforded at the White House to those
who desire to procure trustworthy information and
the ready courtesy with which every inquiry is
answered, the conduct of several persons in sending
out false and garbled information respecting the
Presidents condition is utterly unjustifabe and is
criticised in the severest terms by the Presidents
friends.

DRIFT OF TALK AT THE FIFTH AVENUE.
EFFECT OF THE CHEERING REPORTS PROM WASH.
lNGToN-MR CoNKLING FREELY CRITICISED.
There less outward excitement at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday than at any timo before
since the President shot. The bulletins were
eagerly read previous days. but the con-
tinued favorable reports allayed public ALARM.
Every time disDatch received and posted a
crowd immediately gathered to read it, but the
cheerful news gave some opportunity for the con-
sderation of other topics. In this way several po-
litcianS Mho came into the hotel in the afternoon
were involved in a discussion as to the puolic sem
timent in regard TO Mr.. Conklng. One OF them
mentioned that the public almost without excep-
ton condemned the course recently pursued by Mr..
Conkhng as awakening bitter feeling for which
there absolutely no excuse. Commissioners
Hess and the friends OF Mr. Cohkhng generally
thought that the pnblic sentiment against him had
been created by the newspapers. and not the
spontaneous expression of the people. This is the
view of the matter taken by Mr.. Conkling himself,
as expressed TO a friend Sheridan Shook and
Others declared that the press only gave EXPRESSION
to q universal sentiment in condemDing Mr.. Conk-
ling for his resignation and the he has since

NIahOne's Dimensions.

The N. Y. Herald's Washington cor
respondent says that Privately Repub-
lican Senators very generally confess
that they wish their new ally, General
Malone, we're broader than be is. We
expec. the General does also /; but The
physical and the political broadness are
alike impossible with Malone. Narrow
ness Of both kinds is natural with him.
He knows nothing of the political bis
tory of the country, aud nothing Of the
judicial interpr, tation of constitutional
questions. Educated as Q civil eugi-
neer at the Virginia Military institute,
be confined his studies to that profession
aud neither knew or practiced politics
until be seized upon reputation as the
surest way to regain the power lost TO
bin By bankrupting the great line OF
railroad from Norfolk to Bristol. How
eau any man with such want Of political
education and no very original mind,
present anything but narrow politics.
Tho correspondent continues They
discover very few traces of statesman
ship in him. aud they do not take very
kindly to the kind OF politics Malone
appears to them to know best. 10 fact
good many Of them are secretly sick
of Malone and bis Riddleberger. and
wish they had entrusted the making of
Southern alliance to somebody else
than the shrewd Gorham, of Califor-
uis." Gorbam aud Malone are par
uobile fratrum in politics. Mere pot
house fellows, thrown 90 the surface by
the worst elements of politics. The
longer the Republicans know Gen, Ma
houe the more they will see the error
they made in making him their leader,
in giving him importance, and in ele-
waiting him before the country to q
height which will only make bis fall
more certain, aud the Republicans more
ridiculous.
When the real work of discussing the
public business begins, when Senators
are expected to develop policy, and take
broad, elevated and intelligent views oil
public measures, the mental dimensions
of Gen. Malone will be found TO be
upon the very same scale as bis physi-
cal II is much easier to get to the
United States Senate, than to fill the
measure of Senator.

There ia no disease or affiiction more easi-

He ABUSED THE JUDCE:-The St.

story which, it alleges, happened in
Queen Annes in the days of Judge
Hopper. A resident of St Mitchael's has
been residing in the upper part of that
county. where he probably gathered
the stories and prepared them for the
Comet.
There used to be, in Queen Anne's

or breaking the peace In some way.
The Judge fined him until he got tired
and finally told Kildee that if he was
ever brought before him again he
would send him to Jail. Kildee assur-
ed the judge that he would be peace
able in the future. But when the next
term came. Kildee was there charged
with assault and battery Judge Hop

Killdee of his charge only six months

NoruING would tickle the Republican

anxiety every move in the Democratic
camp. They are anxious to know just
how much of spill, Gov. Hamilton is
going to make. They sincerely hope
that the split may be wide enough for
them to step 10 between aud win. Il is
much to be deplored that discord should
exist 10 the Democratic party 10 our

unitedly, the party is so strong that 1t
is sure to win Gov. Hamilton may
not intend to divide the party, but he
has esta blished headquarters in Balti-
more with ex-CoDg, essman Henkle in
charge. and this looks like an indepen-
dent move. The further fact that Ham
iltOn has associated with bin several
scheming politicians. who are we'll

though the fight were not altogether for
the purpose of reforming things. AL
lowing that the Governor is honest 10
