WASHINGTON, March 16.-Mahone created a
big sensation in joining himself with the Radi-
csls. Even the talk about office has to take
back seat for the time being. Everybody is
discussing the scene in the Senate when
Malone was goaded by Senator Hill until he
had to come forth and declare himself. It
was stirring time. indeed. There was more
disorder in the august Senate than is within
recollection. Conger, who has just taken
his seat as Senator, looked like q man who
had just got back home from a long absence.
The scene was so much like those that are of
daily occurrence in the House that he felt at
home entirely. Senator Hills speech to Ma
hone was sarcasm-sometimes sneering sar-
casm. Mahone's reply was defiant and deliv-
cred fearlessly. Neither he nor Senator Hill
minced words. They spoke plainly
sometimes brutally The effect was to stir up
every body. The galleries filed rapidly. What
is very unusual in the Senate there was fire.
QHeDt applause, both on the floor and in the
galleries. Several Senators chipped in now
and then and made things the liveer still. The
winding up was very fitting. Old Mother Hoar,
of Massachusetts,, concluded the show with
New England homily on Department with big
ID. But Malone was smoked out. He declared
himself. He could not avoid 1t, such was the
relentless manner in which Senator Hill pur-
sued him, and he declared himself a Republi-
can, or rather an Independent, but he voted
with the Republicans and will continue TO do
so. He has sold out for the patronage Of Vir-
glnia and other considerations The Republi
cans, in making up their committees, recognize
that through him they get the control of the
of the Agricultural Committee and place
him on the Naval and Post Offices
and Post Roads Committees. A new
sideration. But then no Senator ever did such
service for the party that thus rewards him.
In cleaning out the Democrats who now hold
the nice offices under the Senate, Malone viii
have anything he wants for his friends. The
bargain which bought him was conducted by
all grades of Republican politicians, from the
small bore George G. Gorham to the President
of the United States Before he declared him
SELF Mahone had an understanding with Mr..
Garfield. 1t was evident that Garfield was
pleased with Mahone's first step in carrying
out that understanding. Yesterday Malone
created his sensation. To day Garfield sent
him one of the most elaborate baskets of
MOWERS ever gotten up in the expensive-to
the people-luxury,t the White House conserva-
tory. The Republicans jubilate over il all and
the Democrats imprecate
There is talk that Malone will be a second
Moses,and that his capture is the part of a pro-
gramme arranged by President Garfield and
leading Republicans to break the Democracy
of the South and build up the Republican
party there. This talk is very widespread
Many believe that Malone will have large
following and that the stand he has taken--or
M do -NEiI do oh, 10
wards breaking the solidity Of the South. He
is regarded as having driven the splitting
wedge a good ways home. His course will go
far, IL Is claimed. to make Republcansm re-
spectacle in the South. The Republicans claim
that with that end accomplished there can be
no further doubt of breaking the South
doubtless there is the usual amount of non
sense in this political talk, but certainly there
is something in it. Mr. Garfield wants to break
the South. He said that before he was inau-
gurated, and has said it many times since
Manone. lt really looks as If that capture was
a part or his programme towards the South.
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE,
All the Republican Senators will be here by
the latter part of this week The Republicans
VIII then proceed to reorganize the Senate by
tne AID OF Mahone'S vote. The Democrats have
been trying to reorganize that body ever since
It was called in special session, but the Repub-
llcans have fhbustered and prevented any such
consumiimatlon They will continue to hlibus-
ter until all their members are on hand and
then they Will organize with their own slate
by The aid of Malone and a bargain After
Ihat tnere VIII be but little other business
transacted before the adjournment of the Sem
ate 1t is possible that the Senate will adjourn
before another week is over. Mr.. Garfield has
sent In few nominations so far. They can
be disposed of as soon as the Senate is organ
lied and with but little delay He will NOT
send Immediately to the Senate many more
nominations He has become so disgusted with
the mob or place hunters who have made his
mic ali 1o H.
not crafty them even by making immediate
changes He told Senator today
that he had determined to make
no 1-9 new appointments, except to fill
vacancies, for at least sixty days He said
further that it was his intention also to leave
the matter of appointments almost entirely to
me senators and Representatives, the interests
of whose States will be the most affected bv
official changes. He holds that those gentle
men are the best judges as to who should be
appointed and who should not. This win be
decided change in policy from what Mr. HAYES
pursued. Hayes believed in the erab'alI
policy. He did not pay much attention to
members of Congress-. He Just went ON and
showed In his favorites whenever there was a
loop hole.
NO CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS.
1t is noticed that no Democrats have vet
turned up as probable candidates for any posi-
ton under the government under the
new administration. There have been
several quasi Democrats skirmfshinp around
been, as far as can be ascertained, any Demo
Gratis who are looking for something from
the Garfield administration. The quasi-Demo-
Gratis who are trying to get their hooks in do
not meet with any astounding success On the
contrary, they seem to have got the freeze-out.
There is not much chance for Democrats I'M
der Garfield, unless they are of prominence
ana VIII, 10 secure place, recant and turn
Republican. Especially if he is a Southern
Democrat of prominence will he be provided
for II he recants. That would seem to be in
ing the solid South, of which this purchase of
Mahone will ever stand out as the shining ex-
ample,
DON PARDEE's NOMINATION.
Don Pardee, of Louisiana, who has been
nominated as Judge Woods successor on the
Southern Circuit-Judge Billings having been
thrown oVerboard-stands a nauch better
chance of confirmation than Billings. There
taking all things into consideration. there does
not seem to be much doubt but that Pardee
will be confirmed without great trouble. He
is represented to be very good lawyer and
gentleman.
BEN HILLS SPEECH.
Senator HlPs speech, which made Malone
come out In his true colors. is, Of course con-
demned by Republicans. There are some
Democrats who also find fault with it. They
say it was injudicious and too bitter. Mr.
stephens is said to entertain this view. Sen.
ator Hill said his idea was to smoke Malone
out. p" He succeeded admirably He finished
the JOB with good deal of bald statement in
fact, but he was not too severe. 1t was nee
essary that there should be strong medicine.
Mr.. Hill can affordto stand the criticism of the
Few FOR the almost universal approval that his
speech receives at the hands Of the Democrats.
JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG FOR MEXICO.
1t has been put down by those who ought to
know that John Russell Young, who went
around the world with Grant and dished him
up TO the Queens taste in the New York Her
dtd, would be United States Minister to Mexi-
CO in place of MIR. Morgan, now our Represen-
tat1ve to the halls of the Montezumas. Itlooks
as II Young might possibly get it. but a very
animated fight is being made against him. The
fight is made because Young is supposed to be
the tool of Jay Gould. Jay Gould and Grant
are interested in one of the schemes to run a
railroad into Mexico. One United States road
the Atchison, Topeka Iand Sante Fe already,
has a liberal concession from the Mexican
Government. Jay Gould and Grant want
some concession, too, not only for the road
they contemplate, but for other schemes of
theirs. Negotiations for such concessions have
to be conducted through our Minister at
that Official Therefore they want John
Russell sent to Mexico. They own John
Russell and got him cheap. General Grant
came on to Washington few short DAYS ago
just to urge Young's appointment upon Gar
field. 1t looked then that Young would GER
tainly get the place. But it is not so certain
now. The reasons why he should not be an
pointed as herewith outlined have been pre-
sented TO Garfield. He holds the matter In
consideration. He will not be in q great hurry to
appoint John Russell, even though Grant has
requested his appointment as a personal
favor. If Garfield does not wish to run right
