MALONE AND GORHAM.-On the
morning of the 18th inst, General Ma
hone, accompanied by the bloodiest OF
the bloody shirt radicals, Mr.. Gorham,
had an interview with the President.
He subsequently had another interview
with committee of the republican eau
Gus of the Senate, and then went into
the. Senate and spoke for and voted with
the republicans. Now, until what was
said in his interview at the White
House shall be known, no one is justi'
fed in asserting aught in derogation OF
the President, 80 far as relates to matters
connected with General Malone. But,
if in that interview, he availed himself
of the influence of his position, even to
the slightest implied degree, to deter
mine the action of General Malone, the
legitimate effect will be to resurrect, In
the mind of every man who had buried
it, the infamy of his connection with
the DeGolyer and Credit Mobilier
frauds, and reattach it to him in all Its
hideousness. On the 4th day of March
the President took the oath of office.
Thence forward for four years, to him,
the interest of party should have been
swallowed up in that of country, and if,
even by any conceivable implication
he has prostituted his high Office, as the
Executive of fifty millions of American
freemen, to the low partisan tricks o.
the ward politician. in order that few
employees of the Senate may be dis
charged and their places given tt
others, and that certain Senators may
have committee clerkships at their dis
posal instead of those who have then
now he justly merits the scorn and con
tempt of every right thinking mai
among all his countrymen.

MALONE MEN SEEKING OFFICE FROM
THE REPUBLICANs.-Si Malone has
gone to the Republicans, number of
his followers who have falsely professed
to be Democrats, are expectants of office
at the hands of the Republican party.
1t is understood that Riddleberger, who
has claimed to be an ultra Democrat,
is Mahone's candidate for Sergeant>at>
arms of the Senate. This shows how
the Democratic Readjusters have been
imposed upon by those who have been
their leaders.

CATION called upon the President to urge
the nomination of DR.. Geo. K. Gilmel
to the Richmond postofice, says that
the impression of the interview was
that the Doctor would not get the
place."
81. L. Pelouze is one of the competing
candidates for Postmaster of Richmond
and, we believe, that Miss VanLew,
who held the office for some time after
the war, is another. We incline to the
opinion that Gilmer's chances are the
best-but in this case. the"wish may be

We believe firmly, with the Phila-
delphia Times that General Malone
wants the Federal patronage of Vir-
ginia to help along his reputation
schemes. 1t is good bargain for Ma
hone; he had no future in the Demo.
cratic party of his State, and it is pos
sible he has no future at all beyond the
six years of his term in the Senate,
but he will fight hard to save himself
now. Another change sor two in the
Senate will make Malone of no account
and then his partners in the present
bargain will turn him adrift with the
same pleasure with which they have
now sought his aid"

Special to the Herald.
GALVESTON, April l9.-The day has been
spent In little amusement, save the meeting
of friends, rambling about the city along
the whsrves and on the beach, which has
been crowded during the entire day.
Tonight, after rehearsels during the day
the FIRST grand concert took place at Saenger,
hall, foot of Centre street and the Beach.
The minsling of many voices and the roaring
of the pillows on the shore filled every one
with enthusiasm.
Saenger hall, with "a seating capacity Of
5000, was literally damned. ,All outside
persons were standing esger to hear the sweet
music from without. The hymn 10 the
Night, sung with male choru, and
the orchestra, was remarkably fine,
creating redoubling applause. Nor
were the solos to be excelled,
though the former seemed better adapted to
the situation. The sthslie oratorio, by a
chorus Of mixed voices and the orchestra,
followed, when after jubal and an overture
by the orchestra, the Warriors March was
played by the orchestra and the crowd
dispersed, all highly elsted over the pleasure
they had enjoyed. The scene was grand all
around.
Saenger hall is an immense buildin-
constructed especially for the occsso,.
The electric light shone with ll.,
splendor of noon day, and rambling alor Pc
the beach listening TO the soft echoes were
many hundred persons.
The programme for to morrow is In the
morning rehearsals; vt noon an oyster roast;
and fish chowder on the beach at night the
second grand concert ending with grand
ball at The Gsrien Verein.
l. is estimated there are FIVE hundred more
persons present than At the Mardi Gras, and
every train brings new arrivals.
