bargain with the General az "the dubi-
GUS alliance with Malone, whom finally
they cast away as though they had new
or regarded him as more than puppet
or counter in gambling game )" and
its Washington correspondent says:
''They used him simply as a sort of
makeweight, and appear to have drop
ped him as soon as they were done with
him. In part, however, Malone was
himself to blame for this, for his alli-
ance with Gorham was distasteful to
more than half the Republican Sena,
tors, who in their hearts greatly pre-
ferred a respectable Democratic Secre-
tary to Gorham. They will insist on q
new nomination In December, and at
that time the Democrats will insist on
a more equal division of the commit
tees"
And so it goes. So it always has gone
and will forever go. The only thing
that makes the Generals case different
from others is that rarely has retribu-
ton followed so closely upon the Of
tense. There are but few now so poor
politically, or any other way, as to de
him reverence.-Aler. Gazette, May 23d

will offer some, but we wish to remark

that if this is independentism, it smacks
too devilish much of republicanlsm for

1t is not only evidence of Republican,
ism, but of Republication of the most
malignant type. The man who would
vote for Chandler, as Malone has done.

The following is a copy of the most

Ano,her Ohio Man.

Judge james Wilson McDilI, who has
been appointed United STATES senator by
Governor Gear, OF Iowa, to succeed seere'
tary Kirkwood, was member Of the Forty
third and Forty fourth Congresses from the
Eighth Iowa district. He IL just forty
seven years old, and was born at Monroe,
Ohio; was educated at the South Salem
Academy. and graduated at the Miami Unit
yer.iIy, at Oxford, Ohio, In 1858. lie
studied law at Columbus, Ohio; was adj
milted 10 the bar in 1856, and removed that
year to Iowa. In 1859 he was elected Judge
Of Union county, and IN 1851 be was ap.
pointed clerk of the Senate Committee on
the District Of Columbia by Senator j. w.
Grimes, who was then chairman OF that
committee. He afterwards held position
in the Office OF the Third Auditor OF the
United States Treasury, which he resigned
In 1865 and returned TO Iowa. He was
elected n circuit iudye IN 1868; afterwards
district Judge, which position he held
when elected TO the Forty-third Congress.
He was rejected to the FOrty.fourth Con-
gresS. The general comment il that Gov
ernor Gear wants TO be elected United
States senator when Mr.. kirkg0od's term
expires, and that McDill was appointed
with the view Of having the way clear for
the Governor. IDasmuch as Judge McDli
did not leave Ohio until he was twenty-five
years old, he can claim the distinction OF
being M Ohio man.

A good deal OF comment and OF feeling
has been excited in these parts by state
ments that have recently gone out in regard
10 irregularities in the management OF the
United States marshaPs Office In the West
ern district OF Virginia. The particulars
OF these alleged irregularities are awaited
with no little concern. The public is In
.erested in the promised disclosures, which
are understood TO be official in their charac-
ter. and the officials to be affected by the
charges are no doubt even more anxious.
The idea has long been entertained by
thoughtful persons that the Government is
put 10 far more loss in the prosecution OF
small cases of alleged mo0nshining in the
remote mountain counties than if such OF.
Tenders were let alone. II generally takes
two deputies TO bring these apprebeuded
parties to trial, aud then they frequently
confess, TO be released on parole. The
Government pays the fees, and the moon
continues to shine with its usual regularity.
The trial Of James McRichardson, which
terminated yesterday in sentence OF the
accused TO ten years Imprisonment, excited
general interest throughout the community.
The courthouse was thronged with negroes
through the whole trial. The accused heard
the sentence, which Judge Garland accom-.
panied with very impressive remarks, with
out the least sign OF agitation. lie merely
stated that he was innocent Of the crime OF
which he had been convicted when tue
usual question was asked why sentence
should not be pronounced upon him. Coun.

the woman, Mary Ann Dawson, who saw
the deed done, was regarded as perfectly

factory, on Court street, between two en-

which caused proiuse 1ow Of blood. This
occurrence was al first greatly exaggerated
by rumor, and caused some excitement.

Il year ago, when the Rcadiuslers acquired
